Luke 18:16 In-Context

14 "I can guarantee that this tax collector went home with God's approval, but the Pharisee didn't. Everyone who honors himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be honored."
15 Some people brought infants to Jesus to have him hold them. When the disciples saw this, they told the people not to do that.
16 But Jesus called the infants to him and said, "Don't stop the children from coming to me! Children like these are part of the kingdom of God.
17 I can guarantee this truth: Whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child receives it will never enter it."
18 An official asked Jesus, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
