Mark 10:7-22
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
7‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, 8and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. 9What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
10And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.
11And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her,
12and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
13And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them.
14But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
15Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."
16And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
17And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
18And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
19You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’"
20And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth."
21And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
