Luke 18:25

“For it is easier for a camel, etc.] These words were spoken to the disciples again, and were a second address to them, after they had shown astonishment at the former; (see Gill on “<401924>Matthew 19:24”) and (see Gill on “<411024>Mark 10:24”).”

“easier for a camel, &c.--a proverbial expression denoting literally a thing impossible, but figuratively, very difficult.”

“a camel: Some render a cable; but it may justly be doubted whether καμηλος \[Strong's G2574\] ever was so translated before, for the word for a cable, as the scholiast on Aristophanes expressly affirms, is written καμιλος, not with an "e" η, but with an "i" ι. Some few manuscripts, it is true, have got the word καμιλος into the text, but it is evidently an attempted improvement. Mat 23:24 Luke 18:26”
