And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray and not lose heart,

But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’

Then the Lord said: “Hear what the unjust judge said.

Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’

I say to you that this one went back home justified rather than that one; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Then they even started bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

But Jesus summoned them and said: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them; because the Kingdom of God is of such.

I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God the way a little child does will by no means enter it.”
A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)

Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

But when he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.

When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the Man will be fulfilled:

But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.

Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.

So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.
