Study Lenses

The verse centers on "all things", "iesus", "looked", "vpon", "sayd", and "impossible". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "iesus", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 26's "And they were much more astonied saying..." into verse 28's "Then Peter began to say vnto him...", so "all things" and "iesus" belong inside that flow. In Mark context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "iesus" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
