9 And|strong="G1161" he spake|strong="G2036" this|strong="G3778" parable|strong="G3850" unto|strong="G4314" certain|strong="G5100" which|strong="G3588" trusted|strong="G3982" in|strong="G1909" themselves|strong="G1438" that|strong="G3754" they were|strong="G1526" righteous|strong="G1342", and|strong="G2532" despised|strong="G1848" others|strong="G3062":

15 And|strong="G1161" they brought|strong="G4374" unto him|strong="G0846" also|strong="G2532" infants|strong="G1025", that|strong="G2443" he would touch|strong="G0680" them|strong="G0846": but when|strong="G1161" his disciples|strong="G3101" saw|strong="G1492" it, they rebuked|strong="G2008" them|strong="G0846".
16 But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" called|strong="G4341" them|strong="G0846" unto him, and said|strong="G2036", \+w Suffer|strong="G0863"\+w* \+w little children|strong="G3813"\+w* \+w to come|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w unto|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w me|strong="G3165"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w forbid|strong="G2967"\+w* \+w them|strong="G0846"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w*: \+w for|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w of such|strong="G5108"\+w* \+w is|strong="G2076"\+w* \+w the kingdom|strong="G0932"\+w* \+w of God|strong="G2316"\+w*.

18 And|strong="G2532" a certain|strong="G5100" ruler|strong="G0758" asked|strong="G1905" him|strong="G0846", saying|strong="G3004", Good|strong="G0018" Master|strong="G1320", what|strong="G5101" shall I do|strong="G4160" to inherit|strong="G2816" eternal|strong="G0166" life|strong="G2222"?
19 And|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G2036" unto him|strong="G0846", \+w Why|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w callest thou|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w me|strong="G3165"\+w* \+w good|strong="G0018"\+w*? \+w none|strong="G3762"\+w* \+add is\+add* \+w good|strong="G0018"\+w*, \+w save|strong="G1487"\+w* \+w one|strong="G1520"\+w*, \+add that is\+add*, \+w God|strong="G2316"\+w*.

21 And|strong="G1161" he said|strong="G2036", All|strong="G3956" these|strong="G5023" have I kept|strong="G5442" from|strong="G1537" my|strong="G3450" youth up|strong="G3503".
22 Now when|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" heard|strong="G0191" these things|strong="G5023", he said|strong="G2036" unto him|strong="G0846", \+w Yet|strong="G2089"\+w* \+w lackest|strong="G3007"\+w* \+w thou|strong="G4671"\+w* \+w one thing|strong="G1520"\+w*: \+w sell|strong="G4453"\+w* \+w all|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3745"\+w* \+w thou hast|strong="G2192"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w distribute|strong="G1239"\+w* \+w unto the poor|strong="G4434"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w thou shalt have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w treasure|strong="G2344"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w heaven|strong="G3772"\+w*: \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w come|strong="G1204"\+w*, \+w follow|strong="G0190"\+w* \+w me|strong="G3427"\+w*.
23 And when|strong="G1161" he heard|strong="G0191" this|strong="G5023", he was|strong="G1096" very sorrowful|strong="G4036": for|strong="G1063" he was|strong="G2258" very|strong="G4970" rich|strong="G4145".
24 And when|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" saw that|strong="G1492" he|strong="G0846" was|strong="G1096" very sorrowful|strong="G4036", he said|strong="G2036", \+w How|strong="G4459"\+w* \+w hardly|strong="G1423"\+w* \+w shall|strong="G1525"\+w* \+w they that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w riches|strong="G5536"\+w* \+w enter|strong="G1525"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the kingdom|strong="G0932"\+w* \+w of God|strong="G2316"\+w*!

26 And|strong="G1161" they that|strong="G3588" heard|strong="G0191" it said|strong="G2036", Who|strong="G5101" then|strong="G2532" can|strong="G1410" be saved|strong="G4982"?
27 And|strong="G1161" he said|strong="G2036", \+w The things which|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w are|strong="G2076"\+w* \+w impossible|strong="G0102"\+w* \+w with|strong="G3844"\+w* \+w men|strong="G0444"\+w* \+w are possible|strong="G1415"\+w* \+w with|strong="G3844"\+w* \+w God|strong="G2316"\+w*.
28 Then|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" said|strong="G2036", Lo|strong="G2400", we|strong="G2249" have left|strong="G0863" all|strong="G3956", and|strong="G2532" followed|strong="G0190" thee|strong="G4671".
29 And|strong="G1161" he said|strong="G2036" unto them|strong="G0846", \+w Verily|strong="G0281"\+w* \+w I say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w unto you|strong="G5213"\+w*, \+w There is|strong="G2076"\+w* \+w no man|strong="G3762"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w hath left|strong="G0863"\+w* \+w house|strong="G3614"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w parents|strong="G1118"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w brethren|strong="G0080"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w wife|strong="G1135"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w children|strong="G5043"\+w*, \+w for|strong="G1752"\+w* \+w the kingdom|strong="G0932"\+w* \+w of God’s|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w sake|strong="G1752"\+w*,

31 Then|strong="G1161" he took|strong="G3880" unto him the twelve|strong="G1427", and said|strong="G2036" unto|strong="G4314" them|strong="G0846", \+w Behold|strong="G2400"\+w*, \+w we go up|strong="G0305"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w Jerusalem|strong="G2414"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w all things|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w that are|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w written|strong="G1125"\+w* \+w by|strong="G1223"\+w* \+w the prophets|strong="G4396"\+w* \+w concerning the Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of man|strong="G0444"\+w* \+w shall be accomplished|strong="G5055"\+w*.

34 And|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" understood|strong="G4920" none|strong="G3762" of these things|strong="G5130": and|strong="G2532" this|strong="G5124" saying|strong="G4487" was|strong="G2258" hid|strong="G2928" from|strong="G0575" them|strong="G0846", neither|strong="G3756" knew they|strong="G1097" the things which|strong="G3588" were spoken|strong="G3004".
35 And|strong="G1161" it came to pass|strong="G1096", that as|strong="G1722" he|strong="G0846" was come nigh|strong="G1448" unto|strong="G1519" Jericho|strong="G2410", a certain|strong="G5100" blind man|strong="G5185" sat|strong="G2521" by|strong="G3844" the way side|strong="G3598" begging|strong="G4319":
36 And|strong="G1161" hearing|strong="G0191" the multitude|strong="G3793" pass by|strong="G1279", he asked|strong="G4441" what|strong="G5101" it|strong="G5124" meant|strong="G1498".
37 And|strong="G1161" they told|strong="G0518" him|strong="G0846", that|strong="G3754" Jesus|strong="G2424" of Nazareth|strong="G3480" passeth by|strong="G3928".
38 And|strong="G2532" he cried|strong="G0994", saying|strong="G3004", Jesus|strong="G2424", thou Son|strong="G5207" of David|strong="G1138", have mercy|strong="G1653" on me|strong="G3165".
39 And|strong="G2532" they which|strong="G3588" went before|strong="G4254" rebuked|strong="G2008" him|strong="G0846", that|strong="G2443" he should hold|strong="G4623" his|strong="G0846" peace|strong="G4623": but|strong="G1161" he cried|strong="G2896" so much|strong="G4183" the more|strong="G3123", Thou Son|strong="G5207" of David|strong="G1138", have mercy|strong="G1653" on me|strong="G3165".
