11. The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
12. I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
13. And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.
14. I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than that other. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15. And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw it rebuked them.
16. But Jesus calling them to him said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17. Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
