Luke 18
1 to say then (and *ko*) parable it/s/he to/with the/this/who be necessary always to pray (it/s/he *no*) and not to lose heart
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 to say judge one to be in/on/among one city the/this/who God not to fear and a human not to cause shame
‘There was,’ he said, ‘in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
3 widow then to be in/on/among the/this/who city that and to come/go to/with it/s/he to say to avenge me away from the/this/who opponent me
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said “Grant me justice against my opponent.”
4 and no (to will/desire *N(k)O*) upon/to/against time with/after then this/he/she/it to say in/on/among themself if: even though and the/this/who God no to fear (nor *N(k)O*) a human to cause shame
For a time the judge refused, but afterwards he said to himself “Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
5 through/because of indeed the/this/who to furnish occasion me labor the/this/who widow this/he/she/it to avenge it/s/he in order that/to not toward goal/tax to come/go to wear out me
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.”’
6 to say then the/this/who lord: God to hear which? the/this/who judge the/this/who unrighteousness to say
Then the Master added, ‘Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 the/this/who then God no not (to do/make: do *N(k)O*) the/this/who vengeance the/this/who select it/s/he the/this/who to cry out (to/with *k*) (it/s/he *N(k)O*) day and night and (to have patience *N(k)O*) upon/to/against it/s/he
And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
8 to say you that/since: that to do/make: do the/this/who vengeance it/s/he in/on/among speed but/however the/this/who son the/this/who a human to come/go no? to find/meet the/this/who faith upon/to/against the/this/who earth: planet
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’
9 to say then and to/with one the/this/who to persuade upon/to/against themself that/since: that to be just and (to reject *NK(o)*) the/this/who remaining the/this/who parable this/he/she/it
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
10 a human two to ascend toward the/this/who temple to pray the/this/who one Pharisee and the/this/who other tax collector
‘Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 the/this/who Pharisee to stand to/with themself this/he/she/it to pray the/this/who God to thank you that/since: that no to be (just as *NK(o)*) the/this/who remaining the/this/who a human rapacious unjust adulterer or and as/when this/he/she/it the/this/who tax collector
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – “God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
12 to fast twice the/this/who Sabbath to tithe all just as/how much to posses
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.”
13 (and *ko*) the/this/who (then *no*) tax collector from afar to stand no to will/desire nor the/this/who eye to lift up toward the/this/who heaven but to strike (toward *k*) the/this/who chest (it/s/he *NK(o)*) to say the/this/who God to propitiate me the/this/who sinful
Meanwhile the tax-gatherer stood at a distance, not venturing even to raise his eyes to heaven, but he kept striking his breast and saying “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
14 to say you to come/go down this/he/she/it to justify toward the/this/who house: home it/s/he (or *k*) (from/with/beside *n(o)*) (that *N(k)O*) that/since: since all the/this/who to lift up themself to humble the/this/who then to humble themself to lift up
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.’
15 to bring to then it/s/he and the/this/who infant in order that/to it/s/he to touch to perceive: see then the/this/who disciple (to rebuke *N(k)O*) it/s/he
Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.
16 the/this/who then Jesus (to call to/summon *N(k)O*) it/s/he (to say *N(k)O*) to release: permit the/this/who child to come/go to/with me and not to prevent it/s/he the/this/who for such as this to be the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God
Jesus, however, called the little children to him. ‘Let the little children come to me,’ he said, ‘and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
17 amen to say you which (if *N(k)O*) not to receive the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God as/when child no not to enter toward it/s/he
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.’
18 and to question one it/s/he ruler to say teacher good which? to do/make: do life eternal to inherit (aiōnios g166)
And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – ‘Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
19 to say then it/s/he the/this/who Jesus which? me to say: call good none good if: not not one the/this/who God
‘Why do you call me good?’ answered Jesus. ‘No one is good but God.
20 the/this/who commandment to know not to commit adultery not to murder not to steal not to perjure to honor the/this/who father you and the/this/who mother (you *k*)
You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honour your father and your mother.’
21 the/this/who then to say this/he/she/it all (to keep/guard: observe *N(k)O*) out from youth (me *ko*)
‘I have observed all these,’ he replied, ‘from childhood.’
22 to hear then (this/he/she/it *k*) the/this/who Jesus to say it/s/he still one you to lack all just as/how much to have/be to sell and to distribute poor and to have/be treasure in/on/among (the/this/who *no*) (heaven *N(k)O*) and come to follow me
Hearing this, Jesus said to him, ‘There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.’
23 the/this/who then to hear this/he/she/it sorrowful (to be *N(k)O*) to be for rich very
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 to perceive: see then it/s/he the/this/who Jesus sorrowful to be to say how! difficultly the/this/who the/this/who money to have/be toward the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God (to enter *N(k)O*)
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25 easy for to be camel through/because of (hole needle *N(k)O*) to enter or rich toward the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God to enter
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!’
26 to say then the/this/who to hear and which? be able to save
‘Then who can be saved?’ asked those who heard this.
27 the/this/who then to say the/this/who unable from/with/beside a human able from/with/beside the/this/who God to be
But Jesus said, ‘What is impossible with people is possible with God.’
28 to say then the/this/who Peter look! me (to release: leave *N(k)O*) (the/this/who *no*) (one's own/private *N(k)O*) (and *k*) to follow you
‘But we,’ said Peter, ‘we left what belonged to us and followed you.’
29 the/this/who then to say it/s/he amen to say you that/since: that none to be which to release: leave home or woman: wife or brother or parent or child because of the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God
‘I tell you,’ he answered, ‘that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 to take then the/this/who twelve to say to/with it/s/he look! to ascend toward (Jerusalem *N(k)O*) and to finish all the/this/who to write through/because of the/this/who prophet the/this/who son the/this/who a human
Gathering the Twelve round him, Jesus said to them, ‘Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the prophets will be done to the Son of Man.
32 to deliver for the/this/who Gentiles and to mock and to mistreat and to spit on/at
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
33 and to whip to kill it/s/he and the/this/who day the/this/who third to arise
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.’
34 and it/s/he none this/he/she/it to understand and to be the/this/who declaration this/he/she/it to hide away from it/s/he and no to know the/this/who to say
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 to be then in/on/among the/this/who to come near it/s/he toward Jericho blind one to sit from/with/beside the/this/who road (to ask/beg *N(k)O*)
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
36 to hear then crowd to go through to inquire which? (if *o*) to be this/he/she/it
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 to announce then it/s/he that/since: that Jesus the/this/who Nazareth to pass by
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 and to cry out to say Jesus son David to have mercy me
he shouted out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!’
39 and the/this/who to go/bring before to rebuke it/s/he in order that/to (be silent *N(k)O*) it/s/he then much more to cry son David to have mercy me
Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder, ‘Son of David, take pity on me!’
40 to stand then the/this/who Jesus to order it/s/he to bring to/with it/s/he to come near then it/s/he to question it/s/he
Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him,
41 (to say *ko*) which? you to will/desire to do/make: do the/this/who then to say lord: God in order that/to to look up/again
‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I want to recover my sight.’
42 and the/this/who Jesus to say it/s/he to look up/again the/this/who faith you to save you
And Jesus said, ‘Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.’
43 and instantly to look up/again and to follow it/s/he to glorify the/this/who God and all the/this/who a people to perceive: see to give praise the/this/who God
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
