Mark 10:11-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

12. And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

13. And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

14. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant, and said to them, “Let the young children come to me. Do not forbid them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

15. Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”

16. And after taking them into his arms, he blessed them, placing his hands on them.

17. And as he was setting out on his way, one individual ran up and knelt down before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?”

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

19. You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’ ”

20. And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.”
