camels in the eye of a needle

I KNOW! It's just a meme... Most people really think Jesus was referring to a camel, but the truth is, He was referring to a ROPE! Several Bible commentators have noted the Aramaic word for camel is nearly identical to the word used for rope. Some believe that when the New Testament's original scrolls were translated into Greek an error in translation may have occurred. The correct translation, based on such an assumption, would be "it is easier for a ROPE to pass through . . ."

Then again He really could have used the word camel to emphasize really how impossible it would be for such a person to enter heaven. It would make more sense as the disciples marveled at His statement and asked "then who can be saved?" Makes way more sense if He said "camel" than "rope" because their reaction would be less strong
