Luke 18:25

Context
NETBible

In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle 1  than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

XREF

Mt 23:24

NET © Notes

sn The eye of a needle refers to a sewing needle, one of the smallest items one might deal with on a regular basis, in contrast to the biggest animal of the region. (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 is saying rhetorically that this is impossible, unless God (v. 27) intervenes.
