Reply #62: Spoken by whom?

[Johonny]

Certainly not Mark who wrote his Gospel in Greek. So what translation are you talking about? How could Mark make a translation error in a story he wrote?

You are assuming the story originated with Jesus. Which is possible but it might have originated with Mark or even another source that Mark or someone else prior to Mark incorporated into the tradition. Some think it's a ancient scribe copying error of the Greek word kamêlos, some think it's a Greek misunderstanding of the Aramaic gamla. However the Jewish Talmudic has a similar saying which uses the phrase for an animal passing through the eye of the needle as an impossible task, thus it's also possible Mark meant what he said and said what he meant.
