< Luke 18 >
1 And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men should always to pray, and not to faint;
Ἔλεγεν ⸀δὲπαραβολὴν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι ⸀αὐτοὺςκαὶ μὴ ἐγκακεῖν,
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
λέγων· Κριτής τις ἦν ἔν τινι πόλει τὸν θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος.
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα· Ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
καὶ οὐκ ⸀ἤθελενἐπὶ χρόνον, μετὰ ⸂ταῦτα δὲ εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ· Εἰ καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι ⸂οὐδὲ ἄνθρωπον ἐντρέπομαι,
5 Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑπωπιάζῃ με.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος· Ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει·
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night to him, though he bear long with them?
ὁ δὲ θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν βοώντων ⸀αὐτῷἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ ⸀μακροθυμεῖἐπʼ αὐτοῖς;
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. πλὴν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;
9 And he spoke this parable to certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Εἶπεν δὲ ⸀καὶπρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφʼ ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶν δίκαιοι καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντας τοὺς λοιποὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην·
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ⸀ὁεἷς Φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς ⸂πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο· Ὁ θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ⸀ὥσπεροἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης·
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ⸀ἀποδεκατῶπάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote on his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
⸂ὁ δὲ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ⸂ἐπᾶραι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἀλλʼ ⸀ἔτυπτετὸ στῆθος ⸀αὐτοῦλέγων· Ὁ θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ⸂παρʼ ἐκεῖνον· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
15 And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τὰ βρέφη ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται· ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ⸀ἐπετίμωναὐτοῖς.
16 But Jesus called them to him, and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ⸂προσεκαλέσατο αὐτὰ λέγων· Ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά, τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
17 Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ⸀ἂνμὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios )
Καὶ ἐπηρώτησέν τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων· Διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω; (aiōnios )
19 And Jesus said to him, Why call you me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός.
20 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.
τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας· Μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, Μὴ φονεύσῃς, Μὴ κλέψῃς, Μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, Τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν ⸀μητέρα
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Ταῦτα πάντα ⸀ἐφύλαξαἐκ νεότητος ⸀μου
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lack you one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
ἀκούσας ⸀δὲὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει· πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν ⸀οὐρανοῖς καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ⸀ἐγενήθη ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ ⸀Ἰησοῦςεἶπεν· Πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες ⸂εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσπορεύονται·
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ ⸂τρήματος βελόνης εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
Εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες· Καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ ⸂παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ἐστιν.
28 Then Peter said, See, we have left all, and followed you.
Εἶπεν δὲ ⸀ὁΠέτρος· Ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ⸂ἀφέντες τὰ ἴδια ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι.
29 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ ⸂γυναῖκα ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ γονεῖς ἢ τέκνα ἕνεκεν τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. (aiōn , aiōnios )
ὃς ⸀οὐχὶμὴ ⸀ἀπολάβῃπολλαπλασίονα ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. (aiōn , aiōnios )
31 Then he took to him the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
Παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· Ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς ⸀Ἰερουσαλήμ καὶ τελεσθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται,
33 And they shall whip him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
καὶ μαστιγώσαντες ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστήσεται.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰεριχὼ τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ⸀ἐπαιτῶν
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου ἐπυνθάνετο ⸀τίεἴη τοῦτο·
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.
καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων· Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.
καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα ⸀σιγήσῃ αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν· Υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
σταθεὶς δὲ ⸀ὁἸησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν·
41 Saying, What will you that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
⸀Τίσοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.
42 And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you.
καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἀνάβλεψον· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψεν, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ δοξάζων τὸν θεόν. καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῷ θεῷ.
