Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

a camel		"Some render a cable; but it may justly be doubted whether [ ( )] ever was so translated before, for the word for a cable, as the scholiast on Aristophanes expressly affirms, is written [kamilos] not with an ""e"" [eta], but with an ""i"" [iota.] Some few MSS., it is true, have got the word [kamilos] into the text, but it is evidently an attempted improvement. Mat 23:24"
