Mark 10:15

15 Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."

Mark 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:15

Verily I say, unto you
A form of speech used when our Lord was about to asseverate a thing, and assert something of moment and importance, and which he would have attended to.

Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God;
the Gospel, and the mysteries of it:

as a little child;
laying aside all pride and prejudice, attending thereunto with humility and meekness:

he shall not enter therein;
he shall attain to no true spiritual knowledge of the Gospel; nor should he be admitted into a Gospel church state, and to the ordinances of it.

Mark 10:15 In-Context

13 And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them; and His disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased and said unto them, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."

16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.

17 And when He had gone forth onto the road, there came one running, and knelt before Him and asked Him, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
