Luke 18:18
Compare all
16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for aof such is the kingdom of God.  
17 aAssuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”  

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

18 aNow a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”  
19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but aOne, that is, God.  
20 You know the commandments: a‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ b‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”  
21 And he said, “All athese things I have kept from my youth.”  
22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. aSell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”  
23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

With God All Things Are Possible

24 And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, a“How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!  
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
