42:018:004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 42:018:005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 42:018:006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 42:018:007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 42:018:008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 42:018:009 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 42:018:010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 42:018:011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 42:018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 42:018:013 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 42:018:014 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 42:018:015 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 42:018:016 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 42:018:017 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. 42:018:018 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 42:018:019 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 42:018:020 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 42:018:021 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 42:018:022 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 42:018:023 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 42:018:024 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
