Luke 18:13-17 but the Publican, who stood a good way lower, not daring to lift up even his eyes to heaven, only smote his breast, and said, O God, be merciful to me, who am a sinner.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ but the Publican, who stood a good way lower, not daring to lift up even his eyes to heaven, only smote his breast, and said, O God, be merciful to me, who am a sinner. ¹⁴ I tell you this man went home approv'd as just, and not the other. for whoever exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. ¹⁵ And as they were presenting children to him, for the imposition of hands, his disciples observing it, rebuk'd those that brought them. ¹⁶ but Jesus called the children to him, and said to his disciples, let the children come to me, without any hindrance, for they who belong to the kingdom of God, must be like them. ¹⁷ I declare unto you, he that does not come with the disposition of a child shall not enter into the kingdom of God.
