3And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
4And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
5Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
6And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
7Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
8I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
9He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
10Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
11The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
12I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
13But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
14I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
15They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
16But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
17Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
18Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life?
19And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
20Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
21And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
