Basic HTML Version
a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4
And he
would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary
me.
6
And the Lord said,
Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7
And shall not God avenge his own
elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8
I tell you that he will
avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and
despised others:
10
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a
publican.
11
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.
12
I fast twice in the week,
I give tithes of all that I possess.
13
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.
14
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.
15
And they brought unto
him also infants, that he would touch them: but when
his
disciples saw
it,
they rebuked them.
16
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.
17
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18
And a certain ruler asked him,
saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19
And Jesus said unto him,
Why callest
thou me good? none
is
good, save one,
that is,
God.
20
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.
21
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22
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.
23
And when he heard this, he
was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he
said,
How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25
For it is easier for
a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26
And
they that heard
it
said, Who then can be saved?
27
And he said,
The things which are impossible
with men are possible with God.
28
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29
And
he said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren,
or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
30
Who shall not receive manifold more in
this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
31
Then he took
unto him
the twelve, and said unto them,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and
all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32
For
he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted
on:
33
And they shall scourge
him,
and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they
the things which were spoken.
