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
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
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 town, who had no fear of God or respect for 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.
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
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,
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
5 because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
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?
And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
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 say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
9 He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK+o) the others parable this.
And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of 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 to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
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, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
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!
The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on 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 say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
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.
And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to 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.
But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
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.
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only 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 have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.
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.
And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
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)
And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
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.
It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
28 Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N+kO) ([our] own [things] *N+kO) (and *k) followed You.
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after 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,
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,
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;
And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.
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 given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.
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.
But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.
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)
And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, 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.
And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O 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;
And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41 (saying *ko) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.
43 And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
