And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.
14
Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15
Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it.
16
And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17
And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?
18
And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.

And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
22
Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23
And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God?

27
And Jesus looking on them, saith with men it is impossible; but not with God. For all things are possible with God.

And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
