Luke 18
1 And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, and regarded not man:
3 And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
6 And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.
7 And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry to him day and night, and he is longsuffering over them?
8 I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Howbeit when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men.
And he spake also this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice of the week. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire.
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
13 But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.
But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 And they were also bringing the infants to him, so that he would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
And they brought unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But having summoned them, Jesus said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will, no, not enter into it.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] God.
20 Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give false testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.

23 But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed.

33 And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.
and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him,
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight.
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
