- It is written: "But when Jesus saw it, he was
much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children
to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the
kingdom of God.
- Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and
blessed them. And when he was gone forth into the way, there
came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master,
what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
- And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there
is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments,
Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
- And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have
I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him,
and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
- And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved:
for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and
saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished
at his words.
- But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children,
how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the
kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye
of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God." ( Mark 10:14-25 KJV)."
