Luke 18:16 in Context — Luke 18
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.
17 Je vous le dis en vérité, quiconque ne recevra pas le royaume de Dieu comme un petit enfant n’y entrera point.
18 Un chef interrogea Jésus, et dit: Bon maître, que dois-je faire pour hériter la vie éternelle?
