(DB)
Luke
18
:
1
And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
(DB)
Luke
18
:
2
saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
(DB)
Luke
18
:
3
and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
4
And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
(DB)
Luke
18
:
5
at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
6
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
7
And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
(DB)
Luke
18
:
8
I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?
(DB)
Luke
18
:
9
And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest of men, this parable:
(DB)
Luke
18
:
10
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
11
The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
12
I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
13
And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
14
I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than that other. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
15
And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw it rebuked them.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
16
But Jesus calling them to him said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
17
Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
18
And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life?
(DB)
Luke
18
:
19
But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
20
Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
21
And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
22
And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
23
But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
24
But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;
(DB)
Luke
18
:
25
for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
26
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
(DB)
Luke
18
:
27
But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
28
And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
29
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
(DB)
Luke
18
:
30
who shall not receive manifold more at this time, and in the coming age life eternal.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
31
And he took the twelve to him and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;
(DB)
Luke
18
:
32
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
33
And when they have scourged him they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
34
And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
35
And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
36
And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
37
And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
38
And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
39
And those who were going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
40
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him saying,
(DB)
Luke
18
:
41
What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
42
And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.
(DB)
Luke
18
:
43
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
