Here, riches are likened to a master. Many people strive very hard to gain riches and in this way they become their master. Jesus is here telling us that we cannot do that and serve God acceptably at the same time.
Hapa tunasoma Mali imefananishwa na Bwana. Watu wengi wanajitahidi mno kupa ta mali na kwa njia hii anakuwa ni Bwana wao. Yesu anatuambia hapa ya kwamba hatuwezi kufanya hivyo na halafu kumtumikia Mungu inavyostahili wakati huo huo.
