THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE


(Mark 10:25 KJV)
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 

Have you ever heard the teaching that the "eye of the needle" as used by our Lord Jesus Christ in the above verse is a small gate on the Jerusalem wall, besides the main gate, by which a camel can go through (not without difficulties though) if it is made to stoop and pushed through the gate with all its baggage removed? Most of those that offer this teaching believe that this statement of Jesus Christ concerning the rich man is exaggerated, hence they try to provide the above explanation to soften it down. 

Well, there is no widely accepted evidence for the existence of such a small gate. The statement of Jesus is rather a proverbial expression denoting something that is impossible for humans or very difficult.
