A Camel Through a Needle’s Eye

“A Camel Through a Needle’s Eye”
Matthew 19:23-24 and Mark 10:23-25 “in a snailshell”

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Matthew 19:23-24

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Mark 10:23-25

It’s easier for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye
Than for the rich to detach from stockpiles and supply.
