rwp@Mark:10:25 @{Needle's eye} (\trumalis rhaphidos\). See on ¯Matthew:19:24| for discussion. Luke uses the surgical needle, \belons\. Matthew has the word \rhaphis\ like Mark from \rhapt\, to sew, and it appears in the papyri. Both Matthew and Luke employ \trmatos\ for eye, a perforation or hole from \titra\, to bore. Mark's word \trumalias\ is from \tru\, to wear away, to perforate. In the LXX and Plutarch.
