Luke 18
1 He was speaking then (and *ko*) a parable to them about it needing always to pray (they *no*) and not to lose heart
And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
3 A widow then there was in the city that and she was coming to him saying; do avenge me of the adversary of mine.
And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
4 And not (he was desiring [to do] *N(k)O*) for a time. afterward however he said within himself; If even God not I fear (nor *N(k)O*) man respect,
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And God certainly not (may do *N(k)O*) the avenging of the elect of Him the [ones] crying out (to *k*) (to Him *N(k)O*) day and night, and (be patient *N(k)O*) in regard to them?
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
8 I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them with speed. Nevertheless the Son of Man having come surely not will He find faith on the earth?
I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
9 He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK(o)*) the others parable this.
And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
10 Men two 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 The Pharisee having stood toward himself these things was praying; O God, I thank You that not I am (like *NK(o)*) the rest of the men — swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers — or even like this tax collector.
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 (and *ko*) (but *no*) the tax collector afar off having stood not was willing not even the eyes to lift up to heaven but was striking (into *k*) the breast (of him *NK(o)*) saying: O God, do be merciful to me to the sinner!
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I say to you; went down this one justified to the house of him (rather than *k*) (compared with *n(o)*) (that [one]. *N(k)O*) For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, the [one] however humbling himself will be exalted.
I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
15 They were bringing then to Him also the infants that them He may touch; having seen however the disciples (were rebuking *N(k)O*) them.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus (called *N(k)O*) them (speaking; *N(k)O*) do permit the little children to come to Me and not do forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Amen I say to you; who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) not shall receive the kingdom of God as a child, certainly not shall enter into it.
Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
20 The commandments You know: Not shall you commit adultery, not shall you murder, not shall you steal, not shall you bear false witness, do honor the father of you and the mother (of you. *k*)
Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N(k)O*) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko*)
Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
22 Having heard then (these things *k*) Jesus said to him; Yet one thing to you is lacking: All as much as you have do sell and do distribute to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in (the *no*) (heavens; *N(k)O*) and come, do follow Me.
Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N(k)O*) he was for rich extremely.
He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Having seen then him Jesus sorrowful became saying; How difficult [for] those riches having [when] into the kingdom of God (they enter. *N(k)O*)
And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Easier for it is a camel through (an eye of a needle *N(k)O*) to go than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N(k)O*) (*no*) ([our] own [things] *N(k)O*) (and *k*) followed You.
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
29 And He said to them; Amen I say to you that no [one] there is who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 Having taken aside then the Twelve He said to them; Behold we go up to (Jerusalem, *N(k)O*) and will be accomplished all things which written through the prophets about the Son of Man;
Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they themselves no [thing] of these things understood, and was declaration this hidden from them, and neither they were knowing the [things] being spoken.
And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
35 It came to pass then in the drawing near by Him to Jericho a blind [man] certain was sitting beside the road (begging. *N(k)O*)
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o*) would be this.
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And those going before were rebuking him that (he may be silent. *N(k)O*) He himself however much more was crying out; Son of David, do have mercy on me.
And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41 (saying *ko*) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
