15 And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them

22 And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
24 And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
