Exegesis
In the second half, plousion {πλούσιον | ploú-si-on} ‘rich person’ serves as the accusative subject of eiselthein, while the prepositional phrase eis tēn basileian tou theou {εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ | eis tēn ba-si-leí-an tou the-oû} ‘into the kingdom of God’ supplies the goal of the action. The parallel infinitival constructions (camel passing through the needle’s eye versus rich person entering God’s kingdom) create a balanced, vivid comparison that highlights the practical impossibility of salvation by wealth and underscores the exclusivity of divine initiative.
