And they brought unto him also infants that he would touch them; but when
his disciples saw
it, they rebuked them.
16
But Jesus called them
unto him and said, Suffer
the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17

18
And a certain prince asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19
And Jesus said unto him, Why dost thou call me good? No one

that is, God.
20
Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21

22
Now when Jesus heard this, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
23
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How difficult it is for those that have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25
For it is easier to put a cable through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
