Luke 18:13-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ “But the tax collector was standing at a distance. He wouldn’t even look up to heaven. Instead, he became very upset, and he said, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

¹⁴ “I can guarantee that this tax collector went home with God’s approval, but the Pharisee didn’t. Everyone who honors himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be honored.”

Jesus Blesses Children^(A)

¹⁵ Some people brought infants to Jesus to have him hold them. When the disciples saw this, they told the people not to do that.
