Luke 18
1 And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray and not lose heart,
ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι και μη εκκακειν
2 saying: “There was a judge in a certain town who did not fear God nor regard man.
λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
3 But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
4 And for a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God nor regard 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 keeps bothering me, I will defend her, so that her endless coming doesn't 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: “Hear what the unjust judge said.
ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
7 And will not God get justice for His elect who are crying out to Him day and night, indeed being patient with 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 get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of the Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the earth?”
λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης
9 Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:
ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
11 The Pharisee stood and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
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 a week; I tithe all that I get.’
νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
13 The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘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 that this one went back home justified rather than that one; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who 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 Then they even started bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
16 But Jesus summoned them and said: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them; because the Kingdom of God is of such.
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 I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God the way a little child does will by no means enter it.”
αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
18 A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
19 So Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and your mother.’”
τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
21 And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”
ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
22 Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and 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 But when he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.
ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
24 When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter 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 It is actually easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
26 So the hearers said, “Who then can be saved?”
ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
27 And He said, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
28 Then Peter said, “Notice that we have left all and followed you!”
ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
29 So He said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or 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
31 Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the Man will be fulfilled:
παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
32 He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon,
παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
33 and they will scourge and 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; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.
και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
35 Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside the road begging.
εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
36 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.
ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
37 So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.
απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
38 Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαβιδ ελεησον με
39 Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαβιδ ελεησον με
40 So Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to Him. When he got close He asked him, saying,
σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see again!”
λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
42 Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
43 And immediately he did! and he followed Him, glorifying God. And all who witnessed it gave praise to God.
και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
