Well, it's certainly convenient that it's a mistranslation. Still, a knot
going through the eye of a needle is not a quick simple process.

I remember reading somewhere that that camel note is possibly a
mistranslation. Seems that the words for camel and knot are similar in
whatever language they were translated into English from. Hebrew?
Aramaic? It's all Greek to me.
