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 took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

14 And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

16 And he took them in his arms, and gave them a blessing, putting his hands on them.

17 And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?
