Jesus

And the Lord said, `Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:

I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'

And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:

I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,

and Jesus having called them near, said, `Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'

And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, `Good teacher, what having done--shall I inherit life age-during?'

And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one is good, except One--God;

and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, `Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things--as many as thou hast--sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;'

And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!

and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.'

And Peter said, `Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'

and he said to them, `Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,

And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed--that have been written through the prophets--to the Son of Man,

for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,

and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'

And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,

and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,

and he cried out, saying, `Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'

and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,

saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, `Sir, that I may receive sight.'

And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'

and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
