And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. MK 10:13 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer [allow] the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such [as these] is the kingdom of God. MK 10:14 Verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as [like] a little child, he shall not enter therein. MK 10:15 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. MK 10:16

And when he [Jesus WU] was gone forth into the [on his WU] way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master [Teacher], what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? MK 10:17 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. MK 10:18 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness [testimony], Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. MK 10:19 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed [kept WU] from my youth. MK10:20 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever [whatever] thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. MK 10:21 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions [wealth WU]. MK 10:22

And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall [hard it is for WU] they that have riches [to] enter into the kingdom of God! MK 10:23 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! MK 10:24 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. MK 10:25 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? MK 10:26

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. MK 10:27 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo [behold], we have left all, and have followed thee. MK 10:28 And Jesus answered and said, Verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren [brothers], or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands [fields WU], for my sake, and the gospel's, MK 10:29 But he shall [who will not WU] receive an hundredfold now in this time [age WU], houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world [age] to come eternal life. MK 10:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. MK 10:31
