Luke 18:20-43

²⁰You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.

²¹And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.

²²And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

²³But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.

²⁴And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

²⁵It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.

²⁶And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?

²⁷But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.

²⁸And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.

²⁹And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,

³⁰Who will not get much more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.

³¹And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

³²For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:

³³And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

³⁴But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

³⁵And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.

³⁶And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?

³⁷And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

³⁸And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁹And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁰And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

⁴¹What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.

⁴²And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.

⁴³And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
