Luke 18
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
ελεγεν δε παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι αυτους και μη εγκακειν
2 "In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, "'Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
4 "For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, "'Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
και ουκ ηθελεν επι χρονον μετα {VAR1: ταυτα δε } {VAR2: δε ταυτα } ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι ουδε ανθρωπον εντρεπομαι
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'"
δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υπωπιαζη με
6 And the Lord said, "Hear those words of the unjust judge.
ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
7 And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων αυτω ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμει επ αυτοις
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης
9 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
10 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι {VAR2: ο } εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
11 The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.
ο φαρισαιος σταθεις {VAR1: ταυτα προς εαυτον } {VAR2: 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 twice a week. I pay the tithe on all my gains.'
νηστευω δις του σαββατου {VAR1: αποδεκατευω } {VAR2: αποδεκατω } παντα οσα κτωμαι
13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'
ο δε τελωνης μακροθεν εστως ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους επαραι εις τον ουρανον αλλ ετυπτεν το στηθος {VAR1: εαυτου } {VAR2: αυτου } λεγων ο θεος ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω
14 "I tell you that this man went home more thoroughly absolved from guilt than the other; for every one who uplifts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου παρ εκεινον οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
15 On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.
προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται επετιμων αυτοις
16 Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
ο δε ιησους προσεκαλεσατο {VAR1: [αυτα] } {VAR2: αυτα } λεγων αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
17 I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it."
αμην λεγω υμιν ος αν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
18 The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
19 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.
ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } θεος
20 You know the Commandments: 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not murder;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"
τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα
21 "All of those," he replied, "I have kept from my youth."
ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξα εκ νεοτητος
22 On receiving this answer Jesus said to him, "There is still one thing wanting in you. Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
ακουσας δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεις πωλησον και διαδος πτωχοις και εξεις θησαυρον εν [τοις] ουρανοις και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
23 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενηθη ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
24 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
ιδων δε αυτον {VAR1: [ο] ιησους } {VAR2: ο ιησους [περιλυπον γενομενον] } ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισπορευονται
25 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρηματος βελονης εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
26 "Who then can be saved?" exclaimed the hearers.
ειπαν δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
27 "Things impossible with man," He replied, "are possible with God."
ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα παρα τω θεω εστιν
28 Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."
ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφεντες τα ιδια ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
29 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has left house or wife, or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of God's Kingdom,
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις εστιν ος αφηκεν οικιαν η γυναικα η αδελφους η γονεις η τεκνα ενεκεν της βασιλειας του θεου
31 Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιερουσαλημ και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
32 For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon.
παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again."
και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
34 Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.
και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.
εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον επαιτων
36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.
ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.
απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
39 Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιγηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
40 At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,
σταθεις δε {VAR2: ο } ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
41 "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."
τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
42 "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you."
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
43 No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
