Mark 10 verse 13 to 27
13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to 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 will 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.

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack", He said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.Then come, follow Me".

24 The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said again: “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God".
26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other: “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jesus looked at them and said: “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God".
