rsv Luke:18:11-21
rsv@Luke:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, `God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
rsv@Luke:18:12 @ I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.'
rsv@Luke:18:13 @ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, `God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
rsv@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
rsv@Luke:18:15 @ Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
rsv@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
rsv@Luke:18:17 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."
rsv@Luke:18:18 @ And a ruler asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
rsv@Luke:18:19 @ And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
rsv@Luke:18:20 @ You know the commandments: `Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'"
rsv@Luke:18:21 @ And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth."
