A camel to go through the eye of a needle. 바늘 귀로 들어가는 낙타 (마가복음 10:25)

The Bible has been the most influential text in all of Western culture. It's difficult to understand medieval or early modern or much of modern literature without knowing it...

I can only say that if a student doesn't know any Bible literature, he or she will simply not understand whole elements of Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser, Milton, Pope, Wordsworth

성경구절

“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.” “낙타가 바늘귀로 나가는 것이 부자가 하나님의 나라에 들어가는 것보다 쉬우니라 하시니.” (마가복음 10:25)

뜻

기원과 적용

겉으로 보기에는 낙타가 바늘귀로 들어가는 것이 불가능해 보입니다. 한 부자 청년이 예수님에게 영생을 얻기위해서 무엇을 해야 하는지 물었습니다. 애수님께서는 그 청년을 사랑스럽게 바라보시며 나를 따르기 위해서는 그가 가진 전 재산을 다 팔고 따라야 한다고 말씀하셨습니다. 그 청년은 슬픈 얼굴빛을 띄며 그 자리를 떠납니다. 부자들에게는 천국에 들어가는 것이 낙타가 바늘귀를 통과하는 것만큼 어려운 일이라고 예수님께서 제자들에게 말씀하셨습니다.
