Then
were there brought unto him little children, that
he should put his hands on them, and pray: and
the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus
said, Suffer little children, and
forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is
the kingdom of heaven.
And
he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
And,
behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master,
what good thing shall I do, that I may have
eternal life?
And
he said unto him, Why callest thou me
good? there is none good but one, that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments.
He
saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou
shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness,
Honour
thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
The
young man saith unto him, All these things have I
kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Jesus
said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect,
go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come
and follow me.
But
when the young man heard that saying, he went
away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Then
said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I
say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
And
again I say unto you, 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.
When
his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly
amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
But Jesus beheld them, and said
unto them, With men this is impossible; but
with God all things are possible.
