Luke 18:22-43 ▼

22 And Jesus hearing these things, said to him, Still one thing is lacking to thee: Sell all things whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

23 And hearing these things, he went away very sorrowful; for he was exceedingly rich.

24 Jesus seeing him said, How hardly will those having riches enter into the kingdom of God!

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God.

26 And those hearing said, And who is able to be saved?

27 And He said, Those things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

28 And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things, and followed thee.

29 And He said to them, Truly I say unto you, that there is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

30 who may not receive a hundredfold in this time, and in the coming age eternal life.

31 And taking the twelve aside, He said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things which have been written by the prophets shall be perfected to the Son of man.

32 For He will be delivered to the Gentiles; and be mocked, and insulted, and spat upon:

33 and having scourged Him, they will kill Him; and He will arise the third day.

34 And they understood none of these things; and this word was hidden from them, and they did not know the things spoken.

35 And it came to pass, while He was drawing nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging.

36 And hearing the multitude passing by, he inquired what it might be.

37 And they told him that Jesus the Nazarene is going along.

38 And he cried out saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

39 And the passersby continued to rebuke him, that he should keep silent: but he continued to cry out much more, O thou son of David, have mercy on me.

40 And Jesus standing, commanded him to be led to Him; and he drawing nigh, He asked him,

41 What do you wish that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may look up.

42 And Jesus said to him, Look up: thy faith hath saved thee.

43 And immediately he looked up, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, seeing, gave praise to God.
