Luke 18
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
ⲁ̅ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ϣϣⲉ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲅⲕⲁⲕⲓ
2 “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
ⲃ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲛϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛϥϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ
3 And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲓ ⲡⲁϩⲁⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲓ ϩⲁⲡ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲉⲓ
4 For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϯⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ
5 yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲓⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲉϩ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϯⲛⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲥϯ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲇⲓⲕⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ
7 Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
ⲍ̅ⲉⲓⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲣ ⲡϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥϩⲣⲟϣ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ
8 I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
ⲏ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲩϩⲁⲡ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϥϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
9 To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
ⲑ̅ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲱ ⲛϩⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲥⲱϣϥ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
ⲓ̅ϫⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲁϥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥϣⲗⲏⲗ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ϫⲉ ⲛϯⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲣⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲣⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲛⲟⲓⲕ ⲏ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲉⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ

13 But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲡⲕⲉⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡϥⲟⲩⲉϣ ϥⲓⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲥⲑⲏⲧ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ
14 I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

15 Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.

16 But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲣⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
17 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

18 Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)

19 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”

21 “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.

22 On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲩⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲕϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϯⲛⲅⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲛⲧⲁⲕ ⲛⲅⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲛϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛⲅⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲟ ϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲅⲉⲓ ⲛⲅⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ
23 But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

24 Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲛϩ
27 But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

28 “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

31 Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

34 But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.

35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

38 So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39 Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
