And in each of the instances, Matthew with Matthew, 18 markets, Mark, chapter 10 if you want to do some comparison and contrast later on, but in each of those accounts, the three gospels, the synoptics, the account here of the Rich Young Ruler, which is awfully referred to as it happens right after Jesus had this encounter with the newborns with the infants, with the babies, when Jesus explained to the crowd to the people, to the parents, to his disciples, in particular, I care about children, I care about the week, the powerless, the helpless, those who can't boast about any moral Accolade, the kingdom of God, belongs to such people And then all the texts collectively say is Jesus was going on his way as he was departing.
