Luke 18
1 Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
ⲁ̅ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲉϣ̑ϣⲉ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲓ
2 “There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
ⲃ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ. ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
3 In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ. ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲁϩⲁⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲉⲓ.
4 For a time the judge refused, but afterward he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,

5 yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”

6 Then the Master added, “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!

7 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 He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

9 Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
ⲑ̅ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲥⲱϣϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ.
10 “Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.

11 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.

13 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 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 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 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 I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”

18 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 “Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.

22 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 But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.

24 Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

34 The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.

35 As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
