Bible verse
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Mark 10:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 10.
11 So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
13 Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
16 And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
17 As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat others, honor your father and mother.’”
