This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Needle’s eye (trumaliās rhaphidos). See note on Mat 19:24 for discussion. Luke uses the surgical needle, belonēs. Matthew has the word rhaphis like Mark from rhaptō, to sew, and it appears in the papyri. Both Matthew and Luke employ trēmatos for eye, a perforation or hole from titraō, to bore. Mark’s word trumalias is from truō, to wear away, to perforate. In the lxx and Plutarch.
