Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι αυτους και μη εκκακειν
Then he spoke a parable to them about how they should always pray and not become discouraged,
2 λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect people.
3 χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
Now there was a widow in that city, and she came often to him, saying, 'Help me get justice against my opponent.'
4 και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
For a long time he was not willing to help her, but after a while he said to himself, 'Though I do not fear God or respect man,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will help her get justice, so that she does not wear me out by her constant coming.'”
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
7 ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις
Now will not God also bring justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
8 λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης
I say to you that he will bring justice to them speedily. Even so, when the Son of Man comes, will he indeed find faith on the earth?”
9 ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
Then he also spoke this parable to some who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous and who despised other people,
10 ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
“Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
11 ο φαρισαιος σταθεις προς εαυτον ταυτα προσηυχετο ο θεος ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγες αδικοι μοιχοι η και ως ουτος ο τελωνης
The Pharisee stood and prayed these things about himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, unrighteous people, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
I fast two times every week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
13 και ο τελωνης μακροθεν εστως ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους εις τον ουρανον επαραι αλλ ετυπτεν εις το στηθος αυτου λεγων ο θεος ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω
But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
14 λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου η γαρ εκεινος οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
I say to you, this man went back down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται και ιδοντες οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
The people were also bringing to him their infants so that he might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτα ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Permit the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
17 αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will definitely not enter it.”
18 και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.
20 τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
You know the commandments—do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not testify falsely, honor your father and mother.”
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
The ruler said, “All these things I have obeyed from the time I was a youth.”
22 ακουσας δε ταυτα ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεις πωλησον και διαδος πτωχοις και εξεις θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
When Jesus heard that, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. You must sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
23 ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
But when the ruler heard these things, he became extremely sad, for he was very rich.
24 ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
Then Jesus, seeing him, became very sad and said, “How difficult it is for those who are rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
Those hearing it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα παρα τω θεω εστιν
Jesus answered, “The things which are impossible with people are possible with God.”
28 ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
Peter said, “Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you.”
29 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις εστιν ος αφηκεν οικιαν η γονεις η αδελφους η γυναικα η τεκνα ενεκεν της βασιλειας του θεου
Jesus then said to them, “Truly, I say to you 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 παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελειωθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
After he gathered the twelve to himself, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.
32 παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
For he will be given over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon.
33 και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
After whipping him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
They understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
It came about that, as Jesus approached Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road begging,
36 ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
So the blind man cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
39 και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
The ones who were walking ahead rebuked the blind man, telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
40 σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
Jesus stood still and commanded that the man be brought to him. Then when the blind man was near, Jesus asked him,
41 λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
“What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
42 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
