Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>"Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>I fast twice a week.

But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one--God. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>And he said, "I have kept all these things from my youth up." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>But he said, "The things which are impossible with humans are possible with God."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things and followed you." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, everlasting life."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>For he will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>"What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/18-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
