Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V9\">9\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V10\">10\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V11\">11\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men <span class=\"add\">are,<\/span> extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V12\">12\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V13\">13\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as <span class=\"add\">his<\/span> eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V14\">14\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">I tell you, this man went down to his house justified <span class=\"add\">rather<\/span> than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V15\">15\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when <span class=\"add\">his<\/span> disciples saw <span class=\"add\">it,<\/span> they rebuked them.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V16\">16\u00a0<\/a><\/span>But Jesus called them <span class=\"add\">unto him,<\/span> and said, <span class=\"wj\">Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V17\">17\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V18\">18\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V19\">19\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Jesus said unto him, <span class=\"wj\">Why callest thou me good? none <span class=\"add\">is<\/span> good, save one, <span class=\"add\">that is,<\/span> God. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V20\">20\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V21\">21\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V22\">22\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, <span class=\"wj\">Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V23\">23\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V24\">24\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, <span class=\"wj\">How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V25\">25\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle\u2019s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V26\">26\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And they that heard <span class=\"add\">it<\/span> said, Who then can be saved?  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V27\">27\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And he said, <span class=\"wj\">The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V28\">28\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V29\">29\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And he said unto them, <span class=\"wj\">Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\u2019s sake, <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V30\">30\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.<\/span> <\/div><div class=\"p\"> <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V31\">31\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Then he took <span class=\"add\">unto him<\/span> the twelve, and said unto them, <span class=\"wj\">Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V32\">32\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V33\">33\u00a0<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"wj\">And they shall scourge <span class=\"add\">him,<\/span> and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V34\">34\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. <\/div><div class=\"p\"> <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V35\">35\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V36\">36\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V37\">37\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V38\">38\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And he cried, saying, Jesus, <span class=\"add\">thou<\/span> Son of David, have mercy on me.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V39\">39\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, <span class=\"add\">Thou<\/span> Son of David, have mercy on me.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V40\">40\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V41\">41\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Saying, <span class=\"wj\">What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?<\/span> And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V42\">42\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Jesus said unto him, <span class=\"wj\">Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V43\">43\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw <span class=\"add\">it,<\/span> gave praise unto God. <\/div><hr \/><\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"chapters\">\r\n    <h3>Luke Chapters<\/h3>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/luk01\">1<\/a>\r\n
