There is very little question that the language of the NT, at least the Gospels, was Aramaic. My question was whether "rope" was the better reading than "camel." Going from an Aramiac word, whatever it was, to "kamelos" would have to be a stretch.

I read Elberfelder. It is said to be far more accurate.
