Mark 10:13-18

New King James Version

Jesus Blesses Little Children^(A)

^13 (B)Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. ¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for ^(C)of such is the kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Assuredly, I say to you, ^(D)whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will ^(E)by no means enter it.” ¹⁶ And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler^(F)

^17 (G)Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I ^(H)do that I may inherit eternal life?”

¹⁸ So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, ^(I)God.
