## Luke 18:18-28 in Context (Verses 15–31 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/luke/18/15) And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when *his* disciples saw *it*, they rebuked them.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/luke/18/16) But Jesus called them *unto him*, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/luke/18/17) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/luke/18/18) And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
 
 [19 ](/kjv/luke/18/19) And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none *is* good, save one, *that is*, God.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/luke/18/20) Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/luke/18/21) And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/luke/18/22) Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/luke/18/23) And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/luke/18/24) And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
 
 [25 ](/kjv/luke/18/25) For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/luke/18/26) And they that heard *it* said, Who then can be saved?
 
 [27 ](/kjv/luke/18/27) And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/luke/18/28) Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/luke/18/29) And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
 
 [30 ](/kjv/luke/18/30) Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/luke/18/31) ¶ Then he took *unto him* the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
