Matthew 19:24, people. It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

(Yes I know everyone renders that as "camel", not rope. I agree w/ Cyril of Alexandria: someone misspelled "rope" as "camel" at some point)

kamêlos = camel, kamilos = rope. Though there's some argument; the Babylonians had a saying about "an elephant through the eye of a needle"

that may have survived and morphed into the camel. But I still think "rope" and a misspelling makes more sense.

given that Jesus was probably a nazarite who never came within 200 miles of Nazareth i'm gonna say your rope story sounds awfully likely
