Mark 10:13-20 World English Bible (WEB)

13. They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

14. But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.

15. Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

16. He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

17. As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

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

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. He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”
