19:24Again I say,29 it is easier for a camel30 to go through the eye of a needle31 than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Footnotes
- 29 Grk “I say to you.”
- 30 A few late witnesses (579 1424 ) read κάμιλον (kamilon, “rope”) for κάμηλον (kamēlon, “camel”), either through accidental misreading of the text or intentionally so as to soften Jesus’ words.
- 31 The eye of a needle refers to a sewing needle. (The gate in Jerusalem known as “The Needle’s Eye” was built during the middle ages and was not in existence in Jesus’ day.) Jesus was saying rhetorically that it is impossible for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom, unless God (v. 26) intervenes.
