Actually, the 'eye of a needle' refers to a small area a few feet from the main gate entrance to Jerusalem. During the day the main gate is open, however at night the gate is closed, and travellers can only get in through the 'eye of a needle'. This 'eye of a needle' is very small, and is quite difficult to get through, only as tall as a horse/mule, and just wide enough for a horse/mule to get through. For a person to get through any man wanting to enter would have to duck and crawl through.
Thats what I heard as well.
