< 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
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
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.
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,
5 because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
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?
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?
9 He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK(o)*) the others parable this.
10 Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
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.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios )
19 Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
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*)
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N(k)O*) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko*)
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.
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N(k)O*) he was for rich extremely.
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*)
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.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
28 Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N(k)O*) (*no*) ([our] own [things] *N(k)O*) (and *k*) followed You.
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,
30 who (certainly *N(k)O*) nothing (may receive back *NK(o)*) manifold more in time this — and in the age which is coming life eternal. (aiōn , aiōnios )
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;
32 He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will 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.
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*)
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o*) would be this.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do 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.
40 Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
41 (saying *ko*) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
43 And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
