Mark 10:14-21

14When Jesus saw this, he became irritated. He told them, “Don’t stop the children from coming to me. Children like these are part of God’s kingdom.

15I can guarantee this truth: Whoever doesn’t receive God’s kingdom as a little child receives it will never enter it.”

16Jesus put his arms around the children and blessed them by placing his hands on them.

17As Jesus was coming out to the road, a man came running to him and knelt in front of him. He asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”

18Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

19You know the commandments: Never murder. Never commit adultery. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Never cheat. Honor your father and mother.”

20The man replied, “Teacher, I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was a boy.”

21Jesus looked at him and loved him. He told him, “You’re still missing one thing. Sell everything you have. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!”
