Luke 18
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι και μη εκκακειν
2 “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
3 And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
4 For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
5 yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
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?
ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις
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?”
λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης
9 To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
ειπεν δε προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
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.
ο φαρισαιος σταθεις προς εαυτον ταυτα προσηυχετο ο θεος ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγες αδικοι μοιχοι η και ως ουτος ο τελωνης
12 I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
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!’
και ο τελωνης μακροθεν εστως ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους εις τον ουρανον επαραι αλλ ετυπτεν εις το στηθος αυτου λεγων ο θεος ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω
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.”
λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου η γαρ εκεινος οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
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.
προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
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.
ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτα ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
17 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
18 Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
19 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
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.’”
τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
21 “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
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.”
ακουσας δε ταυτα ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεις πωλησον και διαδος πτωχοις και εξεις θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
23 But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
24 Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
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.”
ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
27 But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
28 “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
ειπεν δε πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
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
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις εστιν ος αφηκεν οικιαν η γονεις η αδελφους η γυναικα η τεκνα ενεκεν της βασιλειας του θεου
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.
παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
33 They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
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.
και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
37 “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
38 So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
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!”
και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
40 Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
42 “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
