Jesus teaches about divorce and the importance of marriage. He also blesses the children who are brought to him and tells his disciples that it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. After this, a man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life, and Jesus tells him to follow the commandments. The man says that he has kept all the commandments, and Jesus tells him that he still lacks one thing: to sell all that he has, give to the poor, and follow him.
