Luke 18
1 He was speaking then (and *ko) a parable to them about it needing always to pray (they *no) and not to lose heart
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God and did not respect man.
3 A widow then there was in the city that and she was coming to him saying; do avenge me of the adversary of mine.
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 And not (he was desiring [to do] *N+kO) for a time. afterward however he said within himself; If even God not I fear (nor *N+kO) man respect,
He would not for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 And God certainly not (may do *N+kO) the avenging of the elect of Him the [ones] crying out (to *k) (to Him *N+kO) day and night, and (be patient *N+kO) in regard to them?
Will not God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them with speed. Nevertheless the Son of Man having come surely not will He find faith on the earth?
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK+o) the others parable this.
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee having stood toward himself these things was praying; O God, I thank You that not I am (like *NK+o) the rest of the men — swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers — or even like this tax collector.
The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 (and *ko) (but *no) the tax collector afar off having stood not was willing not even the eyes to lift up to heaven but was striking (into *k) the breast (of him *NK+o) saying: O God, do be merciful to me to the sinner!
But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 I say to you; went down this one justified to the house of him (rather than *k) (compared with *n+o) (that [one]. *N+kO) For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, the [one] however humbling himself will be exalted.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 They were bringing then to Him also the infants that them He may touch; having seen however the disciples (were rebuking *N+kO) them.
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus (called *N+kO) them (speaking; *N+kO) do permit the little children to come to Me and not do forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 Amen I say to you; who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) not shall receive the kingdom of God as a child, certainly not shall enter into it.
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever does not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit consummate (aiōnios g166) life?"
19 Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 The commandments You know: Not shall you commit adultery, not shall you murder, not shall you steal, not shall you bear false witness, do honor the father of you and the mother (of you. *k)
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.’”
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 Having heard then (these things *k) Jesus said to him; Yet one thing to you is lacking: All as much as you have do sell and do distribute to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in (the *no) (heavens; *N+kO) and come, do follow Me.
When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Having seen then him Jesus sorrowful became saying; How difficult [for] those riches having [when] into the kingdom of God (they enter. *N+kO)
Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 Easier for it is a camel through (an eye of a needle *N+kO) to go than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N+kO) ([our] own [things] *N+kO) (and *k) followed You.
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 And He said to them; Amen I say to you that no [one] there is who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
31 Having taken aside then the Twelve He said to them; Behold we go up to (Jerusalem, *N+kO) and will be accomplished all things which written through the prophets about the Son of Man;
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 And they themselves no [thing] of these things understood, and was declaration this hidden from them, and neither they were knowing the [things] being spoken.
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 It came to pass then in the drawing near by Him to Jericho a blind [man] certain was sitting beside the road (begging. *N+kO)
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 And those going before were rebuking him that (he may be silent. *N+kO) He himself however much more was crying out; Son of David, do have mercy on me.
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 (saying *ko) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
