18:16. But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
18:17. Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child shall not enter into it.
18:18. And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?
18:19. And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
18:20. Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
18:21. Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
18:22. Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee. Sell all whatever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
18:23. He having heard these things, became sorrowful: for he was very rich.
18:24. And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God:
18:25. For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
