A certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Yeshua said unto him, Why do you call me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. You know the commandments. Do not commit adultery. Do not kill, Do not steal. Do not bear false witness. Honor your father and your mother. And he said, I kept them from my youth up. Now when Yeshua heard these things, he said unto him, You lack one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven: and come. Follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sad: for he was very rich. And when Yeshua saw that he was how sad he was, he said, How 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! And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Then Peter said, Lord, we have left all, and have followed you. And Yeshua said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Will receive even more in this present time, and in the world to come. Luke 18: 18-30; Matthew 19: 18-30This will give you an idea about how big a needle is compared to a sheep and a camel. The needle was designed so the shepherd could count the sheep as the entered and left the sheepfold. That way he could tell if he was missing any sheep. As you can see there is no way a camel can go through a needle. They are too big.
