< 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 spoke a parable to them to show that they ought to pray always, and not be faint-hearted:
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
saying, There was in a certain city a judge, who feared not God, nor 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 kept coming to him, saying, Avenge me 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,
And he would not for some time. But afterward he said within himself, Though I neither fear God, 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 coming for ever she weary me out.
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
And the Lord 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 will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he be slow to punish in their behalf?
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. But yet, when the Son of man cometh, 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.
And to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable:
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 by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, 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 gain.
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 publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven; but smote his breast, saying, O 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 every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; but he that humbleth 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.
And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them; and the disciples, on seeing 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 called them to him, saying, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for to such belongeth 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.
Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will 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 teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting 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 dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, 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: “Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false witness; Honor 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.
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 this said to him, One thing thou still lackest: sell all that 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 when he heard this, he became 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 Jesus seeing him said, How hardly do they that have riches enter 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 the kingdom of God.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
And those who heard this said, Who then can be saved?
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
But he said, What is impossible with men is 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, Lo! we left what we had, 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 to them, Truly do I say to you, There is no one that hath left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
30 who (certainly *N+kO) nothing (may receive back *NK+o) manifold more in time this — and in the age which is coming life eternal. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
who will not receive many fold more in the present time, and in the world to come everlasting life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
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 taking the twelve aside, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all that hath been written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will 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 will be delivered up to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, 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 him, and put him to death; 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.
And they understood none of these things; and the meaning of these words was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was 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)
And it came to pass, as he drew near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging.
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
And 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.
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have 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.
And they who went before sharply bade him hold his peace. But he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!
40 Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
And Jesus stopped, and ordered him to be brought to him. And 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 dost thou wish me to do for thee? And he said, Lord, to restore my sight.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
And Jesus said to 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, giving glory to God; and all the people on seeing it gave praise to God.
