Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
14
But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
15
And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.
16
And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?
17
Who said to him: Why askest thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18
He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.
19
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20
The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?
21
Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22
And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.
23
Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
