Luke 18:5-16

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.
