16 Jesus, however, called the children to himself and said, “Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.”
18 An official asked him this question, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
20 You know the commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother.’”
21 And he replied, “All of these I have observed from my youth.”
22 When Jesus heard this he said to him, “There is still one thing left for you: sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have a treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
