Subject: what does he mean about this verse |
Bible Note: Mark 10:25__According to the Hebrew New Testament Studies the word 'camel' can mean a literal camel or it can also mean 'rope'; depending on the context. Therefore when Jesus made this statement he could have been saying it is easier for rope to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Also, eye and needle can both refer to a literal gate. The reference site is http://www.biblicalhebrew.com/nt/camelneedle.htm |
