Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a camel: Some render a cable; but it may justly be doubted whether ךבלחכןע [Strong's G2574] ever was so translated before, for the word for a cable, as the scholiast on Aristophanes expressly affirms, is written ךבליכןע, not with an "e" ח, but with an "i" י. Some few manuscripts, it is true, have got the word ךבליכןע into the text, but it is evidently an attempted improvement. Matthew 23:24

Reciprocal: Matthew 5:20 - ye Matthew 7:21 - shall Matthew 13:22 - the deceitfulness Matthew 19:24 - It Mark 10:25 - General Luke 1:53 - and Luke 8:14 - and are Luke 16:19 - rich 1 Corinthians 1:26 - not many mighty
