Mark 10:25

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle on a sewing needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
[The comparison between the largest common animal in the Middle East and the smallest opening in a common object illustrates that it is humanly impossible for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God unless God intervenes, see verse 27. The camel is also used in the parable of straining out gnats and swallowing camels, see Matt. 23:24. During the Middle Ages, a legend arose that a low and narrow gate in the wall of Jerusalem was called "the eye of a needle," but there is no historical or archaeological evidence that such a gate was in use during Jesus' time.]
