Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican (18:10)

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 (18:11)

I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess (18:12)

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner (18:13)

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. (18:14)

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them (18:15)

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. (18:16) com1

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. (18:17) com2

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (18:18) com3

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God. (18:19) com4

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother (18:20)

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. (18:21) com5

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. (18:22)

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. (18:23) com7

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! (18:24)

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (18:25) com9

And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved? (18:26)

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God (18:27)

Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee (18:28)

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, (18:29)

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting (18:30)

Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished (18:31)

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: (18:32)

And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again (18:33)

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken (18:34)

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: (18:35)

And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant (18:36)

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by (18:37)

And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy on me (18:38)

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on me (18:39)

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, (18:40)

Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight (18:41)

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee (18:42)

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God (18:43)
