Markus 10:15-16

10:15 I tell you the truth, ¹  whoever does not receive ²  the kingdom of God like a child ³  will never ⁴  enter it.” 10:16 After he took the children in his arms, he placed his hands on them and blessed them.

[10:15]  ¹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[10:15]  ² sn On receive see John 1:12.

[10:15]  ³ sn The point of the comparison receive the kingdom of God like a child has more to do with a child’s trusting spirit and willingness to be dependent and receive from others than any inherent humility the child might possess.

[10:15]  ⁴ tn The negation in Greek (οὐ μή, ou mh) is very strong here.
