Mark 10:15

15 Yes! I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it!"

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 People were bringing children to him so that he might touch them, but the talmidim rebuked those people.

14 However, when Yeshua saw it, he became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me, don't stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15 Yes! I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it!"

16 And he took them in his arms, laid his hands on them, and made a b'rakhah over them.

17 As he was starting on his way, a man ran up, kneeled down in front of him and asked, "Good rabbi, what should I do to obtain eternal life?"
