{Needle's eye} (	rumali(8373) rhaphidos). See on 烘t 19:24|
for discussion. Luke uses the surgical needle, elon(8873). Matthew
has the word 
haphis like Mark from 
hapt(935c), to sew, and it
appears in the papyri. Both Matthew and Luke employ 	r(886d)atos
for eye, a perforation or hole from 	itra(935c), to bore. Mark's
word 	rumalias is from 	ru(935c), to wear away, to perforate. In
the LXX and Plutarch.
