10. The disciples said to him, “If this is the case of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!”
11. But he said to them, “Not everyone can accept this saying but those to whom it has been given.
12. For there are eunuchs who were born as such from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”
13. Then children were brought to him so that he could lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
14. But Jesus said, “Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
15. And he laid his hands on them and traveled on from there.
16. And behold, someone came up to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I will have eternal life?”
17. And he said to him, “Why are you asking me about what is good? There is one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!”
18. He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,
19. honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
20. The young man said to him, “All these I have observed. What do I still lack?”
21. Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
22. But when the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful, because he was one who had many possessions.
23. And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!
24. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person into the kingdom of God.”
