Luke 18:22-43 ▼

22 And Jesus, hearing it said to him, "Yet one thing is lacking to you; sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me."

23 And, when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful; for he was exceedingly rich.

24 And Jesus, seeing him, said, "With what difficulty do those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!

25 for it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

26 And those hearing it said, "And who can be saved?"

27 But He said, "The things impossible with men are possible with God."

28 And Peter said, "Behold, having left our possessions, we followed Thee."

29 And He said to them, "Verily I say to you there is no one who left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God,

30 who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the coming age eternal life."

31 And, taking the twelve aside, He said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and all the things, written through the prophets respecting the Son of Man, will be accomplished;

32 for He will be delivered up to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,

33 and they will scourge Him, and kill Him; and, on the third day, He will rise again."

34 And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they were not understanding the things being said.

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

36 And, hearing a multitude passing along, he was inquiring what this might be.

37 And they told him, that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.

38 And he cried, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

39 And those going before were rebuking him, that he should be silent; but he kept crying out much more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

40 And Jesus, standing still, commanded that he be brought to Him; and, when he drew near, He asked him,

41 "What do you wish that I should do for you?" And he said, "Lord, that I may receive sight."

42 And Jesus said to him, "Receive sight; your faith has made you whole."

43 And instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God. And all the people, seeing it , gave praise to God.
