Expositor's Bible Commentary 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)

This verse reiterates and expands the statement in v.14. The kingdom of God is to be received as a little child receives something, that is, without selfconsciousness and in dependence on the giver. The kingdom is both a gift to be received and a realm to enter.
