good stuff from Greek

Doing stuff in another language is good for making you notice little things along the way (because you're going so slowly!).

One thing I just noticed in Mark 10:15 is the emphatic statement of Jesus.

(my rendition) "Truly I say to youse, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a child will definitely not enter it."

For those in the know, it is an emphatic future negative subjunctive construction :-).  It makes for a pretty big statement.  It means "no way Jose"!.
