New Testament

Mark 10:13-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. They brought young children to Him, that He might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14. But when Jesus saw it, He was very displeased and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.

15. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it.”

16. And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.

17. When He set out on His way, a man came running and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18. He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone.

19. You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.”

20. He answered Him, “Teacher, all these have I observed from my youth.”
