Luke 18
1 Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,
ᏚᏟᎶᏍᏓᏁᎴᏃ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏕ ᎤᎬᏩᎴᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏴᏫ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᏂᏯᏪᎢᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ;
2 saying: “There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect man.

4 And he refused to do so for a long time. But afterwards, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man,

7 So then, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them?

8 I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Yet truly, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?”

9 Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable:

10 “Two men ascended to the temple, in order to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

11 Standing, the Pharisee prayed within himself in this way: ‘O God, I give thanks to you that I am not like the rest of men: robbers, unjust, adulterers, even as this tax collector chooses to be.

13 And the tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing to even lift up his eyes to heaven. But he struck his chest, saying: ‘O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’

14 I say to you, this one descended to his house justified, but not the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

18 And a certain leader questioned him, saying: “Good teacher, what should I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)

22 And when Jesus heard this, he said to him: “One thing is still lacking for you. Sell all the things that you have, and give to the poor. And then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”

24 Then Jesus, seeing him brought to sorrow, said: “How difficult it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!
