Mark 10:12-22

12 And if she divorces her husband [and] marries another, she commits adultery."

Little Children Brought to Jesus

13 And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

14 But [when] Jesus saw [it], he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the young children come to me. Do not forbid them, {for to such belongs} the kingdom of God.

15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it."

16 And [after] taking [them] into his arms, he blessed them, placing his hands on them.

A Rich Young Man

17 And [as] he was setting out on [his] way, one [individual] ran up and knelt down before him [and] asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?"

18 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one [is] good except God alone.

19 You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'"

20 And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth."

21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one [thing]: Go, sell all that you have, and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

22 But he looked gloomy at the statement [and] went away sorrowful, {because he had} many possessions.
