The Parable • Reminder – Jesus spoke Aramaic • Transliterate the Greek back to Aramaic • Gamal – “camal” or “rope” • “It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle” • Ever try to thread a needle for sowing? • Why? Wealth can be a distraction, so rich people need to be on their guard constantly
