Charles Ellicott Commentary Mark 10:15

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein." — Mark 10:15 (ASV)

Verily I say unto you.—Saint Matthew does not give the verse. Saint Mark has it in common with Saint Luke. To receive the kingdom of God as a little child, is to receive it after the manner of a child, with simplicity and faith, humility and love. Unless these conditions were fulfilled, those who were disputing who was the greatest in it were as if they had not even entered it.
