4 [18:18]And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? [18:19]And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, God. [18:20]You know the commandments; You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not testify falsely, Honor your father and your mother. [18:21]And he said, All these have I kept from my youth. [18:22]And Jesus hearing it, said to him, One thing you yet want; sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have a treasure in heaven, and come, follow me. [18:23]And when he heard these things he was sad; for he was very rich. [18:24]And Jesus seeing him, said, With what difficulty do those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [18:25]It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [18:26]And those hearing him, said, And who can be saved? [18:27]And he said, Things impossible with man are possible with God. 5 [18:28]And Peter said, Behold, we have left our [property] and followed you. [18:29]And he said to them, I tell you truly, that there is no one who has left a house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, on account of the kingdom of God, [18:30]who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the life to come eternal life. CHAPTER XXIV. CHRIST PREDICTING HIS DEATH, GIVING SIGHT TO A BLIND MAN, STOPPING WITH ZACCHEUS, AND THE PARABLE OF THE NOBLEMAN RECEIVING A KINGDOM. 1 [18:31]AND Jesus took the twelve aside, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be finished. [18:32]For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and be mocked, and injuriously treated, and spit upon, [18:33]and they will scourge and kill him, and on the third day he will rise again. [18:34]And they understood nothing of these things; and this word was concealed from them, and they did not perceive what was said. 2 [18:35]And when they came nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way, begging. [18:36]And hearing the multitude passing by he inquired what it meant. [18:37]And they told him, Jesus the Nazoraean is passing by. [18:38]And he cried, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. [18:39]And those going before charged him to be still; but he cried much more, Son of David, have mercy on me. [18:40]And Jesus stopping, commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near he asked him, [18:41]saying, What do you wish me to do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. [18:42]And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight; your faith has cured you. [18:43]And he immediately received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people seeing it gave praise to God.
