> "eye of the needle" refers to a small gate or passage in ancient city walls,

There's a lot of discussion on this verse. Apparently, the gate interpretation didn't exist until the 11 century.

It was rethought to be Rope for a while but this blog post discredits that. https://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2023/11/camel.html
