< 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 to them a similitude also, that men should pray at all times, and not become weary.
2 saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, and regarded not men.
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, and said: Vindicate me 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 time: but afterwards, he said to himself: Though I fear not God, and regard not men,
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 vindicate her; that she may not be always coming and troubling me.
6 Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
And our 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, much more, vindicate his chosen, who call upon him by day and by night; and have patience 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, He will vindicate them speedily. Yet the Son of man will come; and 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 he spake this similitude, against certain persons, who had confidence in themselves that they were righteous, and despised every one.
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, 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.
And the Pharisee stood by himself, and prayed thus: God, I thank thee that I have not been like the rest of men, rapacious, oppressive, and adulterous; nor like this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
But I fast twice in a week, and tithe all 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 stood afar off, and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, and said: 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 say to you, that this man went down to his house justified, rather than the Pharisee. For every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled; and every one 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, that he might touch them: and his disciples saw them, and 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, and said to them: Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those that are like them, 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.
Verily I say to you, That he who shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, will not enter it.
18 And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
And one of the chiefs asked him, and said to him: Good Teacher, what shall I do, that I may 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 to him: Why callest thou me, good? For, there is none good, except one; 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 kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not testify a false testimony; honor thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
He said to him: All these have I kept, from my childhood.
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 when Jesus heard these words, he said to him: One thing is lacking to thee: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou wilt have a treasure in heaven; and come after me.
23 And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
And he, when he heard these words, was dejected; 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 Jesus saw that he was dejected, he said: How difficult it is, for those that have wealth 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.
It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, than a rich man the kingdom of God.
26 Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
They who heard it, said to him: Who then can have life?
27 But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
And Jesus said: Those things which, with men, cannot be, with God, can be.
28 Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N+kO) ([our] own [things] *N+kO) (and *k) followed You.
Simon Cephas said to him: Lo, we have left every thing, and come after 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,
Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you: There is no man, who hath left houses, or parents, or brothers, or wife, 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)
that shall not receive manifold in the present time, and, in the coming world, eternal 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 Jesus took his twelve, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and all the things written in 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 will be delivered over to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and spit in his face;
33 And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
and will scourge him, and will treat him with ignominy, and will kill him; and, the third day, he will arise.
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 not one of these things, did they understand; but this subject was hidden from them, and they knew not the things told to them.
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 as they came near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the side of the way, begging.
36 Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
And he heard the noise of the multitude that passed, and inquired what it was.
37 They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
They say to him: Jesus the Nazarean is passing by.
38 And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
And he called out, and said: 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 they that went before Jesus rebuked him, that he might be silent. But he cried out 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;
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be called to him. And when he came 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.
and said to him: What wilt thou, that I do for thee? And he said: My Lord, that I may see.
42 And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
And Jesus said to him: See thou; thy faith hath vivified 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 saw. And he followed after him, and glorified God. And all the people who beheld, gave glory to God.
