Luke 18:14-16

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴ I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other one; ^(A)for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

^15 (B)Now they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. ¹⁶ But Jesus called for ^[a]the little ones, saying, “Allow the children to come to Me, and do not ^[b]forbid them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
