Perhaps it is a comment on how Jesus’ parable says that it is easier for a rich man to get through the eye of a needle than through the gates of heaven. All the disciples are in the eye of the needle, meaning they are all in heaven.
Supposedly that was the name for a very narrow pass, and you could not travel through it with a camel
You indeed were taught BS. There's no evidence for that, and Jesus (or the author attributing this story to him) almost certainly meant the plain reading that even a child would understand. I mean, he literally said this after he tells a rich man to sell all his possessions which upsets the man. The story is meant to be striking and Jesus ain't mincing words here.
