< Luke 18 >

1 Then he spoke a parable to them about how they should always pray and not become discouraged,
ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι αυτους και μη εκκακειν
2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect people.
λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
3 Now there was a widow in that city, and she came often to him, saying, 'Help me get justice against my opponent.'
χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
4 For a long time he was not willing to help her, but after a while he said to himself, 'Though I do not fear God or respect man,
και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
5 yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will help her get justice, so that she does not wear me out by her constant coming.'”
δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
6 Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
7 Now will not God also bring justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις
8 I say to you that he will bring justice to them speedily. Even so, when the Son of Man comes, will he indeed find faith on the earth?”
λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης
9 Then he also spoke this parable to some who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous and who despised other people,
ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things about himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, unrighteous people, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
ο φαρισαιος σταθεις προς εαυτον ταυτα προσηυχετο ο θεος ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγες αδικοι μοιχοι η και ως ουτος ο τελωνης
12 I fast two times every week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
13 But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
και ο τελωνης μακροθεν εστως ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους εις τον ουρανον επαραι αλλ ετυπτεν εις το στηθος αυτου λεγων ο θεος ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω
14 I say to you, this man went back down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου η γαρ εκεινος οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
15 The people were also bringing to him their infants so that he might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται και ιδοντες οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Permit the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτα ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
17 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will definitely not enter it.”
αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.
ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
20 You know the commandments—do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not testify falsely, honor your father and mother.”
τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
21 The ruler said, “All these things I have obeyed from the time I was a youth.”
ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
22 When Jesus heard that, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. You must sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
ακουσας δε ταυτα ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεις πωλησον και διαδος πτωχοις και εξεις θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
23 But when the ruler heard these things, he became extremely sad, for he was very rich.
ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
24 Then Jesus, seeing him, became very sad and said, “How difficult it is for those who are rich to enter the kingdom of God!
ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
26 Those hearing it said, “Then who can be saved?”
ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
27 Jesus answered, “The things which are impossible with people are possible with God.”
ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα παρα τω θεω εστιν
28 Peter said, “Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you.”
ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
29 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, I say to you that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις εστιν ος αφηκεν οικιαν η γονεις η αδελφους η γυναικα η τεκνα ενεκεν της βασιλειας του θεου
30 who will not receive much more in this world, and in the world to come, eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ος ου μη απολαβη πολλαπλασιονα εν τω καιρω τουτω και εν τω αιωνι τω ερχομενω ζωην αιωνιον (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 After he gathered the twelve to himself, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.
παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελειωθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
32 For he will be given over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon.
παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
33 After whipping him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”
και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
34 They understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
35 It came about that, as Jesus approached Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road begging,
εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
36 and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
38 So the blind man cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
39 The ones who were walking ahead rebuked the blind man, telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
40 Jesus stood still and commanded that the man be brought to him. Then when the blind man was near, Jesus asked him,
σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
