Markus 5:29

5:29 At once the bleeding stopped, ¹  and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

Markus 10:25

10:25 It is easier for a camel ²  to go through the eye of a needle ³  than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

[5:29]  ¹ tn Grk “the flow of her blood dried up.”

[5:29]  sn The woman was most likely suffering from a vaginal hemorrhage, in which case her bleeding would make her ritually unclean.

[10:25]  ² tc A few witnesses (˹³ 28 579 pc) read κάμιλον (kamilon, “rope”) for κάμηλον (kamhlon, “camel”), either through accidental misreading of the text or intentionally so as to soften Jesus’ words.

[10:25]  ³ sn The referent of the eye of a needle is a sewing needle. (The gate in Jerusalem known as “The Needle’s Eye” was built during the middle ages and was not in existence in Jesus’ day.) Jesus was speaking rhetorically to point out that apart from God’s intervention, salvation is impossible (v. 27).
