Luke 18
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about the need to pray at all times and not lose heart.
ⲁ̅ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲉϣ̑ϣⲉ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲓ
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.
ⲃ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ. ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
3 There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ. ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁϩⲁⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲉⲓ.
4 For a while he would not do so, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϯⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ
5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not wear me out by continually coming to me.’”
ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲉϩϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϯⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲥ̅ϯϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈.
6 Then the Lord said, “Consider what this unrighteous judge said.

7 If even he ultimately rendered a just decision, will not God patiently listen to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night, and give them justice?
ⲍ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲣⲟϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧʾ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ
8 I tell you that he will bring about justice for them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

9 He also told this parable to some who were confident in their own righteous and regarded others with contempt:

10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.

11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed like this: ‘God, I thank yoʋ that I am not like other people: swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

13 But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

14 I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other one. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

15 Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus so that he might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who were bringing them,

16 but Jesus called for them and said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”

18 Then a certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)

19 Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.

21 The man said, “I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing yoʋ still lack: Sell everything yoʋ have and distribute the money to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”

23 But when the man heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was extremely rich.

24 When Jesus saw that the man had become very sorrowful, he said, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

34 But the disciples did not understand any of these things; this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was being said.

35 As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.

39 Then those who were out in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
