Luke 18:14-24

14 I tell you, this man went down to his home right with God rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted."
15 People brought him babies to touch; but when the talmidim saw the people doing this, they rebuked them.
16 However, Yeshua called the children to him and said, "Let the children come to me, and stop hindering them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 Yes! I tell you that whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will not enter it at all!"
18 One of the leaders asked him, "Good rabbi, what should I do to obtain eternal life?"
19 Yeshua said to him, "Why are you calling me good? No one is good but God!
20 You know the mitzvot -- `Don't commit adultery, don't murder, don't steal, don't give false testimony, honor your father and mother, . . .'"
21 He replied, "I have kept all these since I was a boy."
22 On hearing this Yeshua said to him, "There is one thing you still lack. Sell whatever you have, distribute the proceeds to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me!"
23 But when the man heard this, he became very sad, because he was very rich.
24 Yeshua looked at him and said, "How hard it is for people with wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!
