Luke 18:14-24

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?"
19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God.
20 You know the commandments: Never commit adultery. Never murder. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Honor your father and your mother."
21 The official replied, "I've obeyed all these commandments since I was a boy."
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still need one thing. Sell everything you have. Distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!"
23 When the official heard this, he became sad, because he was very rich.
24 Jesus watched him and said, "How hard it is for rich people to enter the kingdom of God!
