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
THEN he spake also to them a parable, to shew that we ought to pray always, and not faint;
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
saying, There was a certain judge in a particular city, having no fear of God, nor 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 certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Do me justice against 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,
And he would not for a long while: but after this he said, Though I fear not 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 woman is so troublesome to me, I will do her justice, lest by her perpetual coming she stun me with her importunity,
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
Then said the Lord, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
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 shall not God execute vengeance for his own elect, who cry out to him day and night, though he bear long 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?
Yes, I tell you, that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, ah! shall 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.
Then he spake also this parable to certain persons, who had confidence in themselves, that they were righteous, and despised 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 to pray; the one a Pharisee, 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, standing by himself, made this prayer: God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of mankind, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this tax-gatherer.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
I keep a fast twice a week, I pay the tenth of all things I possess.
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!
And the tax-gatherer standing at a distance, would not even so much as lift his eyes heaven-ward, but smote on his breast, saying, May God accept the atonement for 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, Went this man down to his house justified, or the other? for every one who exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall 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.
Then they brought him infants also, that he should touch them: but the disciples, when they saw it, 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.
But Jesus calling them to him, said, Permit little children to come to me, and hinder them not for of such is the kingdom of God.
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.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, by doing what shall I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good, but one, even 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)
Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
Then he said, All these things have I observed from my youth.
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.
Then Jesus hearing this, said to him, Yet one thing thou lackest: sell all whatsoever thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
But he, on hearing these things, was exceeding sorrowful: 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)
Then Jesus, observing that he was very sorrowful, said, How difficultly shall they who have riches, enter 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 easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
And those who heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
And he said, The things 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.
Then said Peter, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
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 unto them, Verily I say unto you, that there is no man who hath left family, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake 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;
Then taking aside the twelve, he said to them, Lo, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be fulfilled.
32 He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
For he shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, and they shall insult him, and treat him with indignity, and spit upon him:
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
and after scourging, shall slay him: and the third day he shall 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.
And they understood none of these things: and the saying was concealed from them, and they knew not the things which were spoken.
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 to pass, as he drew nigh to Jerusalem, a certain blind man sat by the road-side begging:
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
and hearing the multitude passing by, he inquired what was the cause.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
And they told him, that Jesus the Nazarean is going by.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou 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 they who were going before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, 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;
Then Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he was 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.
saying, What wist thou that I should do for thee? Then he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
And instantly he received sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
