Context of Matthew 19:15
13Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14Jesus said, “Leave the little children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to me, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” After placing his hands on them, he went on from there. 16Just then someone came up and asked him, “Teacher, what good must I do to have eternal life?” 17“Why do you ask me about what is good?” he said to him. “There is only one who is good. If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
