The King James Version Bible

Luke 18:13-17

  1. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

  2. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

  3. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

  4. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

  5. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
