13. Some people brought children to Jesus so that he would place his hands on them and pray. But the disciples scolded them.
14. "Allow the children to come to me," Jesus said. "Don’t forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children."
15. Then he blessed the children and went away from there.
16. A man approached him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?"
17. Jesus said, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There’s only one who is good. If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments."
18. The man said, "Which ones?" Then Jesus said, "Don’t commit murder. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t steal. Don’t give false testimony.
19. Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as you love yourself."
20. The young man replied, "I’ve kept all these. What am I still missing?"
21. Jesus said, "If you want to be complete, go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come follow me."
22. But when the young man heard this, he went away saddened, because he had many possessions.
23. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I assure you that it will be very hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24. In fact, it’s easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom."
25. When his disciples heard this, they were stunned. "Then who can be saved?" they asked.
