Luke 18:12-22

12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes unto 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 unto Him also infants, that He would touch them; but when His disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them unto Him and said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.

17 Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."

18 And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

19 And Jesus said unto 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.'"

21 And he said, "All these have I kept from my youth up."

22 Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, "Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me."
