## Matthew 19:16-19 in Context (Verses 13–22 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/matthew/19/13) ¶ Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put *his* hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/matthew/19/14) But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/19/15) And he laid *his* hands on them, and departed thence.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/19/16) ¶ And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/19/17) And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? *there is* none good but one, *that is*, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/19/18) He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/19/19) Honour thy father and *thy* mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/19/20) The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/19/21) Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go *and* sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come *and* follow me.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/19/22) But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
