< Luke 18 >

1 Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,
ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι και μη εκκακειν
2 saying: “There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect man.
λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
3 But there was a certain widow in that city, and she went to him, saying, ‘Vindicate me from my adversary.’
χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
4 And he refused to do so for a long time. But afterwards, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man,
και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
5 yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, in the end, wear me out.’”
δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υπωπιαζη με
6 Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said.
ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
7 So then, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them?
ο δε θεος ου μη ποιησει την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις
8 I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Yet truly, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?”
λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης
9 Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable:
ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
10 “Two men ascended to the temple, in order to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
11 Standing, the Pharisee prayed within himself in this way: ‘O God, I give thanks to you that I am not like the rest of men: robbers, unjust, adulterers, even as this tax collector chooses to be.
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
12 I fast twice between Sabbaths. I give tithes from all that I possess.’
νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
13 And the tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing to even lift up his eyes to heaven. But he struck his chest, saying: ‘O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’
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
14 I say to you, this one descended to his house justified, but not the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου η εκεινος οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
15 And they were bringing little children to him, so that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: “Allow the children to come to me, and do not be an obstacle to them. For of such is the kingdom of God.
ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτα ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
17 Amen, I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a child, will not enter into it.”
αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
18 And a certain leader questioned him, saying: “Good teacher, what should I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
19 Then Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
20 You know the commandments: You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. Honor your father and mother.”
τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
21 And he said, “I have kept all these things from my youth.”
ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
22 And when Jesus heard this, he said to him: “One thing is still lacking for you. Sell all the things that you have, and give to the poor. And then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”
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
23 When he heard this, he became very sorrowful. For he was very rich.
ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
24 Then Jesus, seeing him brought to sorrow, said: “How difficult it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!
ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
26 And those who were listening to this said, “Then who is able to be saved?”
ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
27 He said to them, “Things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
28 And Peter said, “Behold, we have left everything, and we have followed you.”
ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
29 And he said to them: “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has left behind home, or parents, or brothers, or a wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
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
30 who will not receive much more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ος ου μη απολαβη πολλαπλασιονα εν τω καιρω τουτω και εν τω αιωνι τω ερχομενω ζωην αιωνιον (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Then Jesus took the twelve aside, and he said to them: “Behold, we are ascending to Jerusalem, and everything shall be completed which was written by the prophets about the Son of man.
παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
32 For he will be handed over to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and scourged and spit upon.
παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
33 And after they have scourged him, they will kill him. And on the third day, he will rise again.”
και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
34 But they understood none of these things. For this word was concealed from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
35 Now it happened that, as he was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way, begging.
εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this was.
ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαβιδ ελεησον με
39 And those who were passing by rebuked him, so that he would be silent. Yet truly, he cried out all the more, “Son of David, take pity on me!”
και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαβιδ ελεησον με
40 Then Jesus, standing still, ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had drawn near, he questioned him,
σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
41 saying, “What do you want, that I might do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see.”
λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
42 And Jesus said to him: “Look around. Your faith has saved you.”
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
43 And immediately he saw. And he followed him, magnifying God. And all the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
