It's taken from scripture. Fat man = wealth and Straight down = hell The camel through the eye of a needle parable was given by Jesus in 30 A.D. just a short time before his final Passover and death. His somewhat humorous comparison is mentioned in three of the four gospel accounts (Matthew 19:23 - 26, Mark 10:23 - 27, Luke 18:24 - 27). The context of the camel parable is that a rich young man approached Jesus and asked what it took to have eternal life (Matthew 19:16). Christ delineated several of the Ten Commandments and the man answered that he had kept them from the time he was a boy (verses 17 - 20). The Lord then told him if he wanted to be perfect to sell all he owned, give the proceeds to the poor, and follow him! After hearing these words, the rich man went away sad. The Bible then gives us the "camel" quote in question. |
