title: Eye of a needle
text: The term "eye of a needle" is used as a metaphor for a very narrow opening. It occurs several times throughout the Talmud. The New Testament quotes Jesus as saying in Luke 18:25 that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God". It also appears in the Qur'an 7:40, "Indeed, those who deny our revelations and are arrogant to uphold them – the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enter
