10
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes to heaven, but smote upon 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: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15
And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
16
But Jesus called them [to him], and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.
18
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19
And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is] God.
20
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
