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 spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not YHWH, neither regarded 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 city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine 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 while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not Elohim, nor regard 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 troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
And Yahushua said, 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 YHWH avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, 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?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, 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.
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted 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 into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
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 thus with himself, Elohim, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that 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 publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Elohim 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 every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; 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.
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his 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.
But Yahushua called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of YHWH.
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 YHWH as a little child shall in no wise 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, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
And Yahushua said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, YHWH.
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, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do 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)
And he said, All these have I kept 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.
Now when Yahushua heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto 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.
And when he heard this, he was very 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)
And when Yahushua saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of YHWH!
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 go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of YHWH.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
And they that 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 which are impossible with men are possible with YHWH.
28 Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N+kO) ([our] own [things] *N+kO) (and *k) followed You.
Then Kepha said, 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, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of YHWH '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;
Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
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 unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: 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 this saying was hid from them, neither knew they 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, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
And they told him, that Yahushua of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
And he cried, saying, Yahushua, 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 which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou 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 Yahushua stood, and commanded him to be brought unto 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 wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Rabbi, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
And Yahushua 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 immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying YHWH: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto Elohim.
