In Matthew 19:24, Jesus is speaking about how difficult it is for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven, likening it to a camel passing through the eye of a needle. The verse emphasizes the challenges that wealth can pose in terms of prioritizing material possessions over spiritual matters.

How many books did Matthew write?
-----------------------The disciple Matthew did not write any books.The book now known as Matthew's Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to the disciple whose name it now bears later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were attempting to establish who probably wrote each of the New Testament gospels. Scholars say that Matthew could not have been written by an eyewitness to the mission of Jesus, not least because it can be shown that the author copied approximately 600 verses from Mark's Gospel and copied substantial sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. For convenience, the unknown author continues to be known as Matthew, but this is not the Matthew portrayed in the gospel.
