Exegesis
The core assertion is framed by two parallel prepositional phrases: Para anthropois {Παρὰ ἀνθρώποις | Pa-rà an-thrṓ-pois} ‘with people’ and para theō {παρὰ θεῷ | pa-rà the-ōi} ‘with God’. Both use para with the dative, but the shift in object (people versus God) creates a stark antithetical contrast in agency.
In context — Matthew 19:26
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
