172 Amen I say to you, Whosoever receiveth not the Kingdom of God as a child, shal not enter into it.

* And a certaine Prince asked him, saying: Good Maister, by doing what, shal I possesse everlasting life? And said to him: Why doest thou cal me good? None is good but only God. Thou knowest the commandements: Thou shalt not kil, Thou shalt not commit advoutrie, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnes, Honour thy father and mother. Who said: Al these things have I kept from my youth. Which hearing, said to him: Yet one thing thou lackest: Sel al that ever thou hast, and give to the poore, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven: and come, follow me. He hearing these things, was stroken sad: because he was very rich. And seeing him stroken sad, said: How hardly shal they that have money enter into the Kingdom of God? For it is easier for a camel to passe through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. And they that heard, said: And who can be saved? He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God. And Peter said: Loe, we have left al things, and have followed thee. Who said to them: Amen I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the Kingdom of God, and shal not receive much more in this time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

* And tooke the Twelve, and said to them: Behold we goe up to Hierusalem, and al things shal be consummate which were written by the Prophets of the Sonne of man. For he shal be delivered to the Gentils, and shal be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon: and after they have scourged him, they wil kil him, and the third day he shal rise againe. And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.

And it came to passe, when he drew nigh to Jericho, a certaine blind man sate by the way, begging. And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this should be. And they told him that of Nazareth passed by. And he cried saying: sonne of David, have mercie upon me. And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried much more, Sonne of David have mercie upon me. And standing commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I doe to thee? but he said: Lord, that I may see. And said to him: Doe thou see; thy faith hath made thee whole. And forthwith he saw, and followed him, magnifying God. And al the people as they saw it, gave praise to God. ✠ Rh
