Aramaic – Source Language of the Greek NT

 

Matthew 19:24  And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:25  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Luke 18:25  For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
 

 

The word for “camel” in the Aramaic manuscripts is GAMLA which can mean “camel” but can also refer to a “large rope,” which is certainly the meaning here.

This is one of the many passages that prove that Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus and the disciples, was the base language in which the New Testament was written and the source language of the “original Greek”.
