	The camel and the eye of the needle, Hebrew NT Application - Biblical Hebrew
		'The camel and the eye of the needle', Matthew 19:24
		Variations on this theme include that of ancient inns having small entrances to thwart thieves, or the story of an old mountain pass known as the "eye of the needle", so narrow that merchants would have to dismount from their camels and were thus easier prey for brigands lying in wait.
		The ludicrous contrast between the small size of the needle's eye and the largest indigenous animal is to be preserved for its very improbability.

	Eye of a needle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The eye of a needle is an aphorism used in the religious texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
		"The eye of a needle" is part of a phrase attributed to Jesus by the synoptic gospels:
		The most common Christian interpretation is that Jesus uses the physical impossibility of a camel passing through a needle (compare the similar Talmudic expression involving an elephant) to hyperbolically express the difficulty of entering heaven.

	Filmtracks: Eye of the Needle/Last Embrace (Miklós Rózsa)
		Eye of the Needle/Last Embrace: (Miklós Rózsa) After the end of the studio contract system for composers in the early 1960's, one of the most displaced artists was Miklós Rózsa.
		Similar themes would be heard in Rózsa's last significant original score, Eye of the Needle, a film in which a World War II German spy is stranded on a island off the coast of Scotland and ends up in an unlikely romance with a lonely local woman exiled from the mainland.
		Of the two scores, Eye of the Needle is the slight favorite, in part because it's technically the last full score by Rózsa and partly because of its unashamed throwback styles.

	CAMEL THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE? Opposing Views
		In the fifteenth century, some theologians presented the notion that the "eye of the needle" was to mean a small gate entrance to a city.
		And even with the largest 6 inch needles that were used for sewing rugs and tents, it would be impossible to force one of these large ropes through the needle's eye.
		Hello, In respondes to your writings about the eye of the needle I would like to shine some light onto the subject that most and maybe all Christians don't even come close to understanding and it might even be harder for a non christian but I'd like to give it a shot.

	The Camel and the Needle's Eye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Many fundamentalists seek to explain away the obvious hostility to wealth in the saying attributed to Jesus, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24).
		Fundamentalists today constantly tell each other that the "eye of the needle" was a narrow gate into Jerusalem through which a camel could just barely squeeze, implying that even rich people can get into Heaven, provided that they walk a straight and narrow path.
		While believing this no doubt lowers the cognitive dissonance they suffer between the resentment against wealth that is integral to the Christian religion they revere, and their own desire to achieve, it is nonetheless a silly legend, like the alligators in the sewers.

		With the outcome of the war at stake, the Allies' one shot at defeating Hitler hinged on the immediate identification and elimination of any German spies in England capable of discovering the elaborate ploy.
		Scotland Yard Investigator Frederick Bloggs and Professor Percival Godliman, recruited from academia into the war effort, pick up the trail of this dangerous assassin through a lucky break: his habitual use of the stiletto links two murders and ultimately leads to his identification.
		This is not the book for fans of the John le Carre grey-realism school of espionage fiction, since Follett is unabashed about the status of his work as pure entertainment with absolutely no claims to procedural accuracy.

	Legendary "Eye of the Needle" \| barnson.org
		Thus, to "go through the eye of the needle" meant to metaphorically strip oneself of all worldly belongings and enter into God's presence on your knees.
		When we were in Jerusalem a few years ago we asked several different tour guides (Christian and Jewish--LDS and non-LDS) about the door in the gate named "Eye of a Needle;" and they were unanimous in declaring that the eye of the needle is not named after a door in the city wall.
		For instance, when Jesus said to first remove the beam from your own eye, before looking for the mote in your brother's eye, it was intended to be a gross exaggeration; much like the camel through the eye of a needle.
