That event led Jesus to say something unexpected: “It will be a difficult thing for a rich man to get into the kingdom of the heavens.... It is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God. ”
Pärast seda juhtumit ütles Jeesus midagi ootamatut: „Rikkal on raske pääseda taevariiki.... hõlpsam on kaamelil minna läbi nõelasilma kui rikkal pääseda Jumala riiki ”.
