Mark 10:10-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. And again, in the house, his disciples questioned him about the same thing.

11. And he said to them: "Whoever dismisses his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

12. And if a wife dismisses her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery."

13. And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them.

14. But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: "Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God.

15. Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it."

16. And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

17. And when he had departed on the way, a certain one, running up and kneeling before him, asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do, so that I may secure eternal life?"

18. But Jesus said to him, "Why call me good? No one is good except the one God.

19. You know the precepts: "Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother."
