Matthew 19:24 Douay-Rheims

And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

It is easier for a camel, [5] &c. This might be a common saying, to signify any thing impossible, or very hard. Some by a camel, would have to be meant a cable, or ship-rope, but that is differently writ in Greek, and here is commonly understood a true camel. (Witham) — But nothing is impossible to God.
