Luke 18
18:1And he spoke also a parable to them, to the necessity at all times to pray, and not to tire,
18:2saying, There was a certain judge in a certain city, not fearing God, and not respecting man.
18:3And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent!
18:4And he did not want to for a time; but afterwards he said to himself, If even God I do not fear, and man I do not respect;
18:5yet because this widow makes trouble to me, I shall avenge her, that it should not come to pass bruising me in the end.
18:6And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
18:7But God, shall he in no way execute the vengeance of the ones of his chosen, of the ones yelling to him day and night, and is lenient unto them.
18:8I say to you that he shall execute his vengeance quickly. Furthermore, the son of man, having come then, shall he find the belief upon the earth?
18:9And he spoke also to some (the ones relying upon themselves, that they are righteous, and treating with contempt the rest) this parable.
18:10Two men ascended unto the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
18:11The Pharisee standing prayed these things to himself, God, I give thanks to you that I am not as the rest of the men, predacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
18:12I fast twice a Sabbath, I tithe all as much as I acquire.
18:13And the tax collector far off standing, wanted not even to lift up his eyes unto the heaven, but beat onto his breast, saying, God, deal kindly with me the sinner.
18:14I say to you, this one went down justified unto his house, rather than that one. For every one exalting himself shall be humbled; and the one humbling himself shall be exalted.
18:15And they brought to him also the babes, that he should touch them; but seeing, the disciples reproached them.
18:16But Jesus, having called on them, said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not restrain them! for of such is the kingdom of God.
18:17Amen I say to you, Who ever should not receive the kingdom of God as a child, in no way shall he enter into it.
18:18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good teacher, what having done shall I do to inherit eternal life?
18:19And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good except one -- God.
18:20The commandments you know, Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not witness falsely, esteem your father and your mother!
18:21And he said, These all I kept from my youth.
18:22And having heard these things, Jesus said to him, Still one thing to you is missing; all as much as you have, sell and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come follow me!
18:23But hearing these things, he became dejected; for he was rich, exceedingly.
18:24And Jesus beholding him being dejected, said, How with difficulty the ones having things shall enter into the kingdom of God.
18:25For it is easier for a camel to enter through the hole from an awl, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
18:26And the ones hearing said, Then who is able to be delivered?
18:27And he said, The impossible by men, are possible with God.
18:28And Peter said, Behold, we left all, and we followed you.
18:29And he said to them, Amen I say to you that there is no one who left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, because of the kingdom of God,
18:30who in no way should recover much more in this time, and in the coming age life eternal.
18:31And having taken to himself the twelve, he said to them, Behold, We ascend unto Jerusalem, and shall be finished all the things being written by the prophets about the son of man.
18:32For he shall be delivered to the nations, and will be mocked, and will be insulted, and will be spit upon;
18:33and having been whipped, they shall kill him; and the third day he will rise up.
18:34And they perceived nothing of these things; for this thing was being hidden from them, and they did not know the things being said.
18:35And it came to pass in his approaching unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way begging.
18:36And hearing the multitude traveling about, he inquired about what this may be.
18:37And they reported to him that, Jesus the Nazarene is going by.
18:38And he yelled out, saying, Jesus, O son of David, show mercy on me!
18:39And the ones going before reproached him, that he should keep silent; but he more rather cried out, O son of David, show mercy on me!
18:40And having stopped, Jesus urged for him to be brought to him. And at his having approached, he asked him,
18:41saying, What do you want I should do? And he said, O Lord, that I should gain sight.
18:42And Jesus said to him, Gain sight! the belief of yours has delivered you.
18:43And immediately he gained sight; and he followed him, glorifying God. And all the people having beheld, gave praise to God.
