## Luke 18:11-14 in Context (Verses 8–17 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/luke/18/8) I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
 
 [9 ](/kjv/luke/18/9) And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/luke/18/10) Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/luke/18/11) The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men *are*, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/luke/18/12) I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/luke/18/13) And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as *his* eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/luke/18/14) I tell you, this man went down to his house justified *rather* than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/luke/18/15) And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when *his* disciples saw *it*, they rebuked them.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/luke/18/16) But Jesus called them *unto him*, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/luke/18/17) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
 
[Luke 17](/kjv/luke/17) [Luke 19](/kjv/luke/19)
