Luke 18:9
Compare all
7 And ashall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?  
8 I tell you athat He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”  

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

9 Also He spoke this parable to some awho trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:  
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee astood and prayed thus with himself, b‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.  
12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat 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; afor everyone who exalts himself will be1 humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”  

Jesus Blesses Little Children

15 aThen they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.  
16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for aof such is the kingdom of God.  
17 aAssuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”  

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

18 aNow a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”  
19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but aOne, that is, God.  
20 You know the commandments: a‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ b‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”  
21 And he said, “All athese things I have kept from my youth.”  
22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. aSell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”  
23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

With God All Things Are Possible

24 And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, a“How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!  
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 But He said, a“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”  
28 aThen Peter said, “See, we have left1 all and followed You.”  
29 So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, athere is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,  
30 awho shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”  

Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection

31 aThen He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things bthat are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be1 accomplished.  
32 For aHe will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
