But when Jesussaw it, he was much displeased, andsaid unto them,Suffer the little children to comeuntome,andforbidthemnot:for of suchis the kingdom of God.
15
Verily I say unto you,Whosoevershallnotreceive the kingdom of Godas a little child, he shallnotentertherein*.
16
And he tookthem up in his arms, put his handsuponthem, and blessedthem.
17
And when he was gone forthinto the way*, there cameonerunning, andkneeled to him, and askedhim,GoodMaster,what shall I dothat I may inheriteternallife?
18
AndJesussaid unto him,Why callest thoumegood? there is nonegoodbutone, that is, God.
20
And he answered and said unto him,Master,allthese have I observedfrommyyouth.
21
ThenJesusbeholdinghimlovedhim,andsaid unto him,One thingthoulackest: go thy way, sellwhatsoever thou hast, andgive to the poor,and thou shalt havetreasureinheaven:andcome, take up the cross, and followme.
22
And he was sadat that saying, and went awaygrieved: for he had*greatpossessions.
23
AndJesus looked round about, and saith unto hisdisciples,Howhardly shall they that haverichesenterinto the kingdom of God!
24
And the disciples were astonishedathiswords.ButJesusanswerethagain, and saith unto them,Children,howhard is it for them that trustinriches to enterinto the kingdom of God!

30
But he shall receive an hundredfoldnowinthistime,houses,andbrethren,andsisters,andmothers,andchildren,andlands,withpersecutions;andin the world to comeeternallife.
31
Butmany that are first shall belast;and the lastfirst.
32
And they werein the way going uptoJerusalem;andJesuswentbeforethem:and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he tookagain the twelve, and began to tellthem what things shouldhappen unto him,
33
Saying,Behold, we go uptoJerusalem;and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests,and unto the scribes;and they shall condemnhim to death,and shall deliverhim to the Gentiles:
34
And they shall mockhim,and shall scourgehim,and shall spit uponhim,and shall killhim:and the thirdday he shall rise again.
