Mark 10:15

15 Most assuredly I tell you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way 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 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the talmidim rebuked those who were bringing them.

14 But when Yeshua saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid them, for to such belong the kingdom of God.

15 Most assuredly I tell you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter therein."

16 He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

17 As he was going forth into the way, one ran to him, kneeled to him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
