Luke 18
1 And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint-hearted;
And he seide to hem also a parable, that it bihoueth to preye euer more, and not faile;
2 saying—A certain judge, there was in a certain city, —having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
and seide, There was a iuge in a citee, that dredde not God, nether schamede of men.
3 And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying—Vindicate me from mine adversary!
And a widowe was in that citee, and sche cam to hym, and seide, Venge me of myn aduersarie;
4 And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himself—Although, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect,
and he wolde not longe tyme. But aftir these thingis he seide with ynne hym silf, Thouy Y drede not God, and schame not of man,
5 Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, —lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
netheles for this widewe is heuy to me, Y schal venge hir; lest at the laste sche comynge condempne me.
6 And the Lord said—Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; —
And the Lord seide, Here ye, what the domesman of wickidnesse seith;
7 And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?
and whether God schal not do veniaunce of hise chosun, criynge to hym dai and nyyt, and schal haue pacience in hem?
8 I tell you—He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?
Sotheli Y seie to you, for soone he schal do veniaunce of hem. Netheles gessist thou, that mannus sone comynge schal fynde feith in erthe?
9 And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: —
And he seide also to sum men, that tristiden in hem silf, as thei weren riytful, and dispiseden othere, this parable,
10 Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector.
seiynge, Twei men wenten vp in to the temple to preye; the toon a Farisee, and the tother a pupplican.
11 The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men, —extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax-collector;
And the Farisee stood, and preiede bi hym silf these thingis, and seide, God, Y do thankyngis to thee, for Y am not as other men, raueinouris, vniust, auoutreris, as also this pupplican;
12 I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!
Y faste twies in the woke, Y yyue tithis of alle thingis that Y haue in possessioun.
13 But, the tax-collector, afar off, standing, —would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying—O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner!
And the pupplican stood afer, and wolde nether reise hise iyen to heuene, but smoot his brest, and seide, God be merciful to me, synnere.
14 I tell you—This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
Treuli Y seie to you, this yede doun in to his hous, and was iustified fro the other. For ech that enhaunsith hym, schal be maad low, and he that mekith hym, schal be enhaunsid.
15 And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
And thei brouyten to hym yonge children, that he schulde touche hem; and whanne the disciplis saien this thing, thei blameden hem.
16 But, Jesus, called them near, saying—Suffer, the children, to be coming unto me, and do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
But Jhesus clepide togider hem, and seide, Suffre ye children to come to me, and nyle ye forbede hem, for of siche is the kyngdom of heuenes.
17 Verily I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
Treuli Y seie to you, who euer schal not take the kyngdom of God as a child, he schal not entre in to it.
18 And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying—Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
And a prince axide hym, and seide, Goode maister, in what thing doynge schal Y weilde euerlastynge lijf? (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him—Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
And Jhesus seide to hym, What seist thou me good? No man is good, but God aloone.
20 The commandments, thou knowest: —Do not commit adultery, Do not commit murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, —Honour thy father and mother,
Thou knowist the comaundementis, Thou schalt not sle, Thou schalt not do letcherie, Thou schalt not do theft, Thou schalt not seie fals witnessyng, Worschipe thi fadir and thi modir.
21 And, he, said—All these things, have I kept from my youth.
Which seide, Y haue kept alle these thingis fro my yongthe.
22 And Jesus, hearing, said unto him—Yet one thing, unto thee, is lacking: Whatsoever thou hast, sell, and distribute unto the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in [the] heavens; and come! be following me.
And whanne this thing was herd, Jhesus seide to hym, Yit o thing failith `to thee; sille thou alle thingis that thou hast, and yyue to pore men, and thou schalt haue tresour in heuene; and come, and sue thou me.
23 But, he, hearing these things, became, encompassed with grief; for he was rich exceedingly.
Whanne these thingis weren herd, he was soreful, for he was ful ryche.
24 And Jesus, beholding him, said—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.
And Jhesus seynge hym maad sorie, seide, How hard thei that han money schulen entre in to the kyngdom of God;
25 For it is, easier, for a camel, to enter, through the eye of a needle, than for, a rich man, to enter, into the kingdom of God.
for it is liyter a camel to passe thorou a nedlis iye, than a riche man to entre in to the kyngdom of God.
26 And they who heard said—Who, then, can be saved?
And thei that herden these thingis seiden, Who may be maad saaf?
27 And, he, said—The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.
And he seide to hem, Tho thingis that ben impossible anentis men, ben possible anentis God.
28 And Peter said—Lo! we, have left our own possessions, and followed thee!
But Petir seide, Lo! we han left alle thingis, and han sued thee.
29 And, he, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you—No one, is there, who hath left—house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, —for the sake of the kingdom of God;
And he seide to hym, Treuli Y seie to you, there is no man that schal forsake hous, or fadir, modir, or britheren, or wijf, or children, or feeldis, for the rewme of God,
31 And, taking aside the twelve, he said unto them—Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem, and all the things will be finished, which have been written through means of the prophets, respecting the Son of Man;
And Jhesus took hise twelue disciplis, and seide to hem, Lo! we gon vp to Jerusalem, and alle thingis schulen be endid, that ben writun bi the prophetis of mannus sone.
32 For he will be delivered up unto the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, —
For he schal be bitraied to hethen men, and he schal be scorned, and scourgid, and bispat;
33 and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.
and aftir that thei han scourgid, thei schulen sle hym, and the thridde dai he schal rise ayen.
34 And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.
And thei vndurstoden no thing of these; and this word was hid fro hem, and thei vndurstoden not tho thingis that weren seid.
35 And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.
But it was don, whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Jerico, a blynde man sat bisidis the weie, and beggide.
36 And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.
And whanne he herde the puple passynge, he axide, what this was.
37 And they told him—Jesus of Nazareth, is passing by!
And thei seiden to hym, that Jhesus of Nazareth passide.
38 And he cried aloud, saying—Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!
And he criede, and seide, Jhesu, the sone of Dauyd, haue mercy on me.
39 And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out—O Son of David! have mercy upon me!
And thei that wenten bifor blamyden hym, that he schulde be stille; but he criede myche the more, Thou sone of Dauid, haue mercy on me.
40 And, standing still, Jesus commanded him to be led unto him; and, when he had drawn near, he questioned him—
And Jhesus stood, and comaundide hym to be brouyt forth to hym. And whanne he cam nyy, he axide hym,
41 What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said—Lord! …that I may recover sight!
and seide, What wolt thou that Y schal do to thee? And he seide, Lord, that Y se.
42 And, Jesus, said unto him—Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.
And Jhesus seide to hym, Biholde; thi feith hath maad thee saaf.
43 And, instantly, he recovered sight, and began to follow him, glorifying God. And, all the people, beholding, gave praise unto God.
And anoon he say, and suede hym, and magnyfiede God. And al the puple, as it say, yaf heriyng to God.
