Mark 10:13-24

People  were bringing little children  to him in order that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked  them. When Jesus saw it, he was indignant  and said to them, “Let the little children come to me.   Don’t stop   them, because the kingdom of God   belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you,   whoever does not receive   , the kingdom of God like a little child   will never enter it.” After taking them in his arms, he laid his hands on  them and blessed  them. As  he was setting out on a journey,  a man ran up, knelt down  before him, and asked him, “Good  teacher,  what must I do to inherit  eternal life? ”  “Why do you call me good? ” Jesus asked him. “No one is good except God alone.   You know the commandments: Do not murder;   do not commit adultery;   do not steal;   do not bear false witness;   do not defraud;   honor   your father and mother. ”   , He said to him, “Teacher,  I have kept all these from my youth.” Looking at him, Jesus loved him  and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor,   and you will have treasure   in heaven.   Then come,   follow me.”   But he was dismayed by this demand, and he went away grieving,  because he had many possessions.  Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth   to enter the kingdom of God! ”   The disciples were astonished at his words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children,   how hard it is   to enter the kingdom of God!
