Contextual Overview
18 One of the leaders asked him, "Good rabbi, what should I do to obtain eternal life?" 19 Yeshua said to him, "Why are you calling me good? No one is good but God! 20 You know the mitzvot — ‘Don't commit adultery, don't murder, don't steal, don't give false testimony, honor your father and mother, . . .' " 21 He replied, "I have kept all these since I was a boy." 22 On hearing this Yeshua said to him, "There is one thing you still lack. Sell whatever you have, distribute the proceeds to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me!" 23 But when the man heard this, he became very sad, because he was very rich. 24 Yeshua looked at him and said, "How hard it is for people with wealth to enter the Kingdom of God! 25 It's easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!" 26 Those who heard this asked, "Then who can be saved?" 27 He said, "What is impossible humanly is possible with God."
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
a camel: Some render a cable; but it may justly be doubted whether ×××××××¢ [Strong's G2574] ever was so translated before, for the word for a cable, as the scholiast on Aristophanes expressly affirms, is written ×××××××¢, not with an "e" ×, but with an "i" ×. Some few manuscripts, it is true, have got the word ×××××××¢ into the text, but it is evidently an attempted improvement. Matthew 23:24
