Part 30

42:018:016 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.

42:018:017 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

42:018:018 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

42:018:019 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

42:018:020 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.

42:018:021 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

42:018:022 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.

42:018:023 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

42:018:024 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

42:018:025 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.

42:018:026 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

42:018:027 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

42:018:028 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

42:018:029 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,

42:018:030 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

42:018:031 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.

42:018:032 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

42:018:033 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

42:018:034 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

42:018:035 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

42:018:036 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

42:018:037 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

42:018:038 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

42:018:039 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.

42:018:040 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

42:018:041 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

42:018:042 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

42:018:043 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
