14 When Jesus saw this, he was displeased. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them. The kingdom of God belongs to people who are like these little children.
15 I tell you the truth. You must accept the kingdom of God as a little child accepts things, or you will never enter it.”
16 Then Jesus took the children in his arms. He put his hands on them and blessed them.
17 Jesus started to leave, but a man ran to him and fell on his knees before Jesus. The man asked, “Good teacher, what must I do to get the life that never ends?”
18 Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
19 You know the commands: ‘You must not murder anyone. You must not be guilty of adultery. You must not steal. You must not tell lies about your neighbor in court. You must not cheat. Honor your father and mother.’”
20 The man said, “Teacher, I have obeyed all these commands since I was a boy.”
