Exegesis

The verse begins with the aorist participle emblepsas {ἐμβλέψας | em-blép-sas} ‘having looked’, which functions as an attendant circumstance participle linked to the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘he said’. This structure foregrounds Jesus’ attentive gaze as the preparation for His authoritative statement.

In contextMatthew 19:26

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
