Mark 10:15

15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into 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 And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

14 But [when] Jesus saw [it], he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the young children come to me. Do not forbid them, {for to such belongs} the kingdom of God.

15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it."

16 And [after] taking [them] into his arms, he blessed them, placing his hands on them.

17 And [as] he was setting out on [his] way, one [individual] ran up and knelt down before him [and] asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?"
