聖經經文

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:25) “駱駝穿過針的眼也比富人進神的國容易。”（馬可福音10：25）

意思

來源及應用

在表面看來，駱駝是不可能從駱駝里穿出來的。有一個富人問耶穌他應該怎樣做才能得到永生。耶穌看著他，就愛他，要求他賣掉他所有的財產後跟隨他。這個人看著就變了臉色，走開了。因為富人要進神的國就如駱駝要穿過針的眼一樣難。耶穌這樣對他的門徒們說。但這不是就說富人就不能進神的國。其實錢本身不是問題，是富人對錢的愛多過對神的愛，這才是對富人的挑戰。
