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 taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart.
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
"There was a certain town," he said, "a judge who had neither reverence for 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.
"In that same town there was a widow who came again and again before him, saying, "‘Do for me the justice of 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,
"For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, ‘Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard 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.
"‘yet because this woman annoys me I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.’
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
"Listen" said the Lord, "to what this unjust 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?
"And will not God see justice done to his elect who are crying unto him day and night, even if he seems to delay helping 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 quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith upon 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.
Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest.
10 Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
"Two men are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-gatherer.
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 apart and thus began to pray by himself. "‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax gatherer;
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
"‘I fast twice a week, I pay tithes of all my possessions.’
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-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "‘O God be merciful to me, the 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 that this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles 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 kept bringing their babies for him to touch them; but when his disciples saw it they began to rebuke 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 called for the babies. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "do not hinder them; 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.
"I tell you in solemn truth that whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will never get into it."
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
A ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, 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.
"Why are you calling me ‘good’?"said Jesus to him; "no one is good but 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 bear false witness, Honor your father and mother."
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
"All of these," he replied, "I have 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.
And receiving this reply, Jesus said to him. "One thing you are still lacking. Sell all that you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me."
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
But when he heard these words he became deeply grieved, for he was exceedingly 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 looked at him and said. "How hard it is for those who have money to 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.
Why, 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?
"Who then can be saved?" exclaimed his hearers.
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
"Things that are impossible with men," he answered them, "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 Peter said, "Look! we have left our homes 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,
And he said to them, "In Solemn truth I tell you that there is no one who, for the sake of the kingdom of God, has left houses, or wife, or brother, or parents, or children,
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 the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding 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,
"He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon;
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
"and they will scourge and kill him; and 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.
But they understood none of these sayings. His words were a mystery to them, and they did not know what he meant.
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 Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging.
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity 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 went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me!"
40 Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him 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 for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again."
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
"Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."
43 And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.
