Luke 18:14 in Context — Luke 18

12 je jeûne deux fois la semaine, je donne la dîme de tous mes revenus.

13 Le publicain, se tenant à distance, n’osait même pas lever les yeux au ciel; mais il se frappait la poitrine, en disant: O Dieu, sois apaisé envers moi, qui suis un pécheur.

14 Je vous le dis, celui-ci descendit dans sa maison justifié, plutôt que l’autre.Car quiconque s’élève sera abaissé, et celui qui s’abaisse sera élevé.

15 On lui amena aussi les petits enfants, afin qu’il les touchât. Mais les disciples, voyant cela, reprenaient ceux qui les amenaient.

16 Et Jésus les appela, et dit: Laissez venir à moi les petits enfants, et ne les en empêchez pas;car le royaume de Dieu est pour ceux qui leur ressemblent.
