Luke:18:10-17
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Two men went up to the temple to pray ,
one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector .
*
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself , "
God ,
I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners ,
unjust ,
adulterers ,
or even as this tax collector .
*
I fast twice a week ;
I give tithes of all that I possess .'
*
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 !'
*
I tell you ,
this man went down to his house justified rather than the other ;
for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled ,
and he who humbles himself will be exalted ."
*
Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them ;
but when the disciples saw it ,
they rebuked them .
*
But Jesus called them to Him and said , "
Let the little children come to Me ,
and do not forbid them ;
for of such is the kingdom of God .
*
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it ."
