37 And they said to him, 'Where, Lord?' And he said to them, Where there is a carcass, there the eagles will be gathered.

1 And he also spake unto them a parable, that they ought to pray always, and not to lose heart,

2 saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor was he ashamed of men.

3 And there was a widow in the same city, and she came to him, saying, Defend me from my adversary.

4 But he didn't want to for a long time. And then he said to himself, Though I fear not God, nor am I ashamed of men,

5 But because this widow gives me no rest, I will protect her, that she may not come to trouble me any more.

16 But Jesus called them, and said, "Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God."

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever receiveth not the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it.

18 And one of the rulers asked him, 'Good teacher! What must I do to inherit eternal life?
