He was using hyperbole to illustrate that just as a literal camel cannot go through the eye of an actual sewing needle, it is impossible for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom if he continues to cling to his riches and does not put Jehovah first in his life. ​ — Luke 13: 24; 1 Timothy 6: 17 - 19.
Jēzus izmantoja hiperbolu, lai paskaidrotu, ka tieši tāpat, kā kamielis nevar izlīst caur adatas aci, bagāts cilvēks nevar nokļūt Valstībā, ja viņš ir pieķēries savām bagātībām un ja galvenais viņa dzīvē nav Jehova.
