John Trapp on Matthew 19:25

Verse 25. They were exceedingly amazed] Because they knew that all men either are or would be rich; and that of rich man, scarce any but trusted in their riches. Therefore, though our Saviour told them, Mark. 10 24. that he meant it of those only that relied upon their riches, yet they remained as much unsatisfied as before, and held it an hard case that so many should misse of heaven. We have much ado to make men beleeve that the way is half so hard as Ministers make it.
