15. . V . Self-grandisement

18:9-14

Some

"2 men went up to temple to pray"

18:9 And he said also to some the ones relying on themselves that they are righteous and despising the rest parable this. 10 Men two went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax-collector. The Pharisee standing these things to himself prayed; God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-collector: 12 I fast twice of

in the week, I tithe all things how many I get. 13 But the tax-collector far off standing would not even the eyes to lift up to the heaven, but smote the breast of him saying God be propitious to me the sinner. 14 I tell you went down this man having been justified to the house of him rather than that one; because everyone exalting himself will be humbled, and the one humbling himself will be exalted.

16. . V . Exclusion of children

18:15-17

Disciples

"allow the children to me"

18:15 And they brought to him also the babes that them he might touch; but seeing the disciples rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called to him them saying: Allow the children to come

to me and do not prevent them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a child, by no means enters into it.

17. . V . Over-focus . . . on material security

18:18-25

Certain ruler

"all things sell & follow me"

18:18 And questioned a certain him ruler saying: Teacher good, what doing life eternal may I inherit? 19 And said to him Jesus: Why me sayest thou good? no one is good except on, God. 20 The commandments thou knowest: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour the father of thee and the mother. 21 And he said All these things I kept from youth. 22 But hearing Jesus said to him: Yet one thing to thee is lacking:all things

how many thou hast sell and distribute to poor people, and thou wilt have treasure in heavens, and come follow me. 23 But he hearing these things very grieved became, for he was rich exceedingly, 24 And seeing him Jesus said: How hardly the ones property having into the kingdom of God go in. 25 easier for it is for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
