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.

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

Jesus, however, called the little children to him. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "and do not hinder them; for it is to the childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.

I declare unto you, he that does not come with the disposition of a child shall not enter into the kingdom of God.

And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

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

There is none good save one, that is God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery. Do not murder, Do not steal. Do not bear false witness. Honour thy father and thy mother.

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.

When he heard that, he was heavy, for he was very rich.

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

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.

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

And Peter said, "Behold, we have left {all that is ours} [and] followed you."

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,

who shall in anywise not receive manifold in this season, and, in the age that is coming, life age-abiding.

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.

And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

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

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

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.

And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

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

Jesus said to him, “Regain your sight; your [personal trust and confident] faith [in Me] has made you well.”

No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.

a man named Zacchaeus appeared. He was a leading tax collector, and a rich one at that!

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the tree, He said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down [from that tree], for I need to stay at your house today."

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

And Jesus said unto him - This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, - for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

So, He said, "A certain distinguished gentleman went to a distant country to receive a royal appointment [i.e., as king over a territory] and then return. [Note: This is the only parable of Jesus' that correlates with a known incident; that of Herod's son Archelaus going to Rome to receive from Caesar Augustus an appointment to rule over Judea, Samaria and Idumaea in

and he called ten of his servants, to whom he deliver'd ten pounds: improve that, said he, till I return.

But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.

And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

And he said to him, Well done, thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

'And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;

For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

saying to them, go to the village opposite to you: at your entrance there, you will find a colt ty'd, that was never yet back'd: untie it and bring it here.

And if any man ask you, why that ye loose him: thus say unto him, 'The Lord hath need of him.'"

And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying that colt?"

And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

saying, "If you had known on this day--even you--the things [that make] for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

And they reckoned up together to themselves, saying, That if we say, Of heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

And he proceeded to send another slave, but they beat and dishonored that one also, [and] sent [him] away empty-handed.

And the lord of the vineyard said - What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, - It may be, that, him, they will respect.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

He will come and destroy those farmers, and will let out his vineyard to others." When they heard that, they said, "God forbid."

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any , but of a truth teachest the way of God:

And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.

There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.

And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;

and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; so that all live to him.

Some of the scribes declared, "Teacher, that was a fine answer!"

And after that durst they not ask him any question at all.

And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David's son?

which devour widows' houses, and that under a colour of long praying: The same shall receive greater damnation."

And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.

And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:

for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.

And [while] some were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with precious stones and votive offerings, he said,

As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Then they asked Him, "Teacher, when will this be? And what is the sign that it is about to take place?"

And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he ; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

But before all that, men will lay hands on you and persecute you, handing you over to synagogues and prisons; you will be dragged before kings and governors for the sake of my name.

and that shall be one proof of the truth of your profession.

So resolve to yourselves that you will not rehearse your defence beforehand,

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all your opponents will not be able to resist or contradict.

It is by your endurance that you will win your souls.

But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.

And there shall be signs, in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars: and in the earth the people shall be in such perplexity, that they shall not tell which way to turn themselves. The sea and the waters shall roar,
