One day, Jesus and the others were walking among some booths. Jesus was playing with the children. All of a sudden, a Pharisee walked up. " Herod Antipas is looking for you".
" Antipas" Jesus exclaimed. " Tell that fox that I heal people and drive out demons".
" I have warned you". The Pharisee walked away.
Then, a young man approached Jesus.
" Teacher". His voice hesitated. " What must I do to inherit eternal life?".
" Know the commandments".
" I have". He grinned. " Since I was a boy".
" Then sell everything you have". He smiled. " Give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven".
The young man listened intently.
" Then come follow me".
The young man frowned. He walked away.
Tears came to Jesus's eyes.
" It is hard for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God".
