Luke 18

1AndG1161 he spakeG3004 a parableG3850 unto themG846 to this end, that men oughtG1163 alwaysG3842 to prayG4336, andG2532 notG3361 to faintG1573; 2SayingG3004, There wasG1510 inG1722 aG5100 cityG4172 a judgeG2923, whichG5100 fearedG5399 notG3361 GodG3588G2316, neitherG3361 regardedG1788 manG444: 3AndG1161 there wasG1510 a widowG5503 inG1722 thatG1565 cityG3588G4172; andG2532 she cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846, sayingG3004, AvengeG1556 meG1473 ofG575 mineG1473 adversaryG3588G476. 4AndG2532 he wouldG2309 notG3756 forG1909 a whileG5550: butG1161 afterwardG3326 he saidG3004 withinG1722 himselfG1438, ThoughG1487 I fearG5399 notG3756 GodG3588G2316, norG3756 regardG1788 manG444; 5YetG1065 becauseG1223 thisG3778 widowG3588G5503 troublethG3930 meG1473, I will avengeG1556 herG846, lestG3361 byG1519 herG2064 continualG5056 comingG2064 she wearyG5299 meG1473. 6AndG1161 the LordG3588G2962 saidG3004, HearG191 whatG5101 the unjustG3588G93 judgeG3588G2923 saithG3004. 7AndG1161 shallG4160 notG3756G3361 GodG2316 avengeG3588G1557 his ownG846 electG3588G1588, whichG3588 cryG994 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 untoG4314 himG846, thoughG2532 he bear longG3114 withG1909 themG846? 8I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 he willG4160 avengeG3588G1557 themG846 speedilyG5034. Nevertheless whenG4133 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 comethG2064, shallG687 he findG2147 faithG3588G4102 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093? 9AndG1161 he spakeG3004 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850 untoG4314 certainG5100 whichG3588 trustedG3982 inG1909 themselvesG1438 thatG3754 they wereG1510 righteousG1342, andG2532 despisedG1848 othersG3062: 10TwoG1417 menG444 went upG305 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411 to prayG4336; the oneG1520 a PhariseeG5330, andG2532 the otherG2087 a publicanG5057. 11The PhariseeG3588G5330 stoodG2476 and prayedG4336 thusG3778 withG4314 himselfG1438, GodG3588G2316, I thankG2168 theeG4771, thatG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 asG5618 otherG3062 menG3588G444 are, extortionersG727, unjustG94, adulterersG3432, orG2228 evenG2532 asG5613 thisG3778 publicanG3588G5057. 12I fastG3522 twiceG1364 in the weekG3588G4521, I give tithesG586 of allG3956 thatG3745 I possessG2932. 13AndG2532 the publicanG3588G5057, standingG2476 afar offG3113, wouldG2309 notG3756 lift upG1869 so much asG3761 his eyesG3588G3788 untoG1519 heavenG3588G3772, butG235 smoteG5180 uponG1519 hisG846 breastG3588G4738, sayingG3004, GodG3588G2316 be mercifulG2433 to meG1473 a sinnerG268. 14I tellG3004 youG4771, this manG3778 went downG2597 toG1519 hisG846 houseG3588G3624 justifiedG1344 rather thanG2228 the otherG1565: forG3754 every oneG3956 thatG3588 exaltethG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abasedG5013; andG1161 he thatG3588 humblethG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312. 15AndG1161 they broughtG4374 unto himG846 alsoG2532 infantsG3588G1025, thatG2443 he would touchG680 themG846: but whenG1161 his disciplesG3588G3101 sawG3708 it, they rebukedG2008 themG846. 16ButG1161 JesusG2424 calledG4341 themG846 unto him, and saidG3004, SufferG863 little childrenG3588G3813 to comeG2064 untoG4314 meG1473, andG2532 forbidG2967 themG846 notG3361: forG1063 of suchG5108 isG1510 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316. 17VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, WhosoeverG3739 shallG1209 notG3361 receiveG1209 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 asG5613 a little childG3813 shallG1525 in no wiseG3756G3361 enterG1525 thereinG1519G846. 18AndG2532 a certainG5100 rulerG758 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, GoodG18 MasterG1320, whatG5101 shall I doG4160 to inheritG2816 eternalG166 lifeG2222? 19AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto himG846, WhyG5101 callest thouG3004 meG1473 goodG18? noneG3762 is goodG18, saveG1487 oneG1520, that is, GodG3588G2316. 20Thou knowestG1492 the commandmentsG3588G1785, DoG3431 notG3361 commit adulteryG3431, DoG5407 notG3361 killG5407, DoG2813 notG3361 stealG2813, DoG5576 notG3361 bear false witnessG5576, HonourG5091 thyG4771 fatherG3588G3962 andG2532 thyG4771 motherG3588G3384. 21AndG1161 he saidG3004, AllG3956 theseG3778 have I keptG5442 fromG1537 myG1473 youth upG3503. 22Now whenG1161 JesusG3588G2424 heardG191 these thingsG3778, he saidG3004 unto himG846, YetG2089 lackestG3007 thouG4771 one thingG1520: sellG4453 allG3956 thatG3745 thou hastG2192, andG2532 distributeG1239 unto the poorG4434, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 treasureG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 comeG1204, followG190 meG1473. 23And whenG1161 he heardG191 thisG3778, he wasG1096 very sorrowfulG4036: forG1063 he wasG1510 veryG4970 richG4145. 24And whenG1161 JesusG3588G2424 saw thatG3708 heG846 wasG1096 very sorrowfulG4036, he saidG3004, HowG4459 hardlyG1423 shallG1525 they thatG3588 haveG2192 richesG3588G5536 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316! 25ForG1063 it isG1510 easier forG2123 a camelG2574 to goG1525 throughG1223 a needle’sG4476 eyeG5168, than forG2228 a rich manG4145 to enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316. 26AndG1161 they thatG3588 heardG191 it saidG3004, WhoG5101 thenG2532 canG1410 be savedG4982? 27AndG1161 he saidG3004, The things whichG3588 areG1510 impossibleG102 withG3844 menG444 are possibleG1415 withG3844 GodG3588G2316. 28ThenG1161 PeterG3588G4074 saidG3004, LoG3708, weG1473 have leftG863 allG3956, andG2532 followedG190 theeG4771. 29AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, There isG1510 no manG3762 thatG3739 hath leftG863 houseG3614, orG2228 parentsG1118, orG2228 brethrenG80, orG2228 wifeG1135, orG2228 childrenG5043, forG1752 the kingdomG3588G932 of God’sG3588G2316 sakeG1752, 30WhoG3739 shallG618 notG3361 receiveG618 manifold moreG4179 inG1722 thisG3778 present timeG3588G2540, andG2532 inG1722 the worldG3588G165 to comeG2064 lifeG2222 everlastingG166. 31

ThenG1161 he tookG3880 unto him the twelveG1427, and saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, BeholdG3708, we go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 all thingsG3956 that areG3588 writtenG1125 byG1223 the prophetsG3588G4396 concerning the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 shall be accomplishedG5055. 32ForG1063 he shall be deliveredG3860 unto the GentilesG3588G1484, andG2532 shall be mockedG1702, andG2532 spitefully entreatedG5195, andG2532 spitted onG1716: 33AndG2532 they shall scourgeG3146 him, and putG615 himG846 to deathG615: andG2532 the thirdG5154 dayG3588G2250 he shall rise againG450. 34AndG2532 theyG846 understoodG4920 noneG3762 of these thingsG3778: andG2532 thisG3778 sayingG3588G4487 wasG1510 hidG2928 fromG575 themG846, neitherG3756 knew theyG1097 the things whichG3588 were spokenG3004. 35

AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that asG1722 heG846 was come nighG1448 untoG1519 JerichoG2410, a certainG5100 blind manG5185 satG2521 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598 beggingG4319: 36AndG1161 hearingG191 the multitudeG3793 pass byG1279, he askedG4441 whatG5101 itG3778 meantG1510. 37AndG1161 they toldG518 himG846, thatG3754 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3588G3480 passeth byG3928. 38AndG2532 he criedG994, sayingG3004, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of DavidG1138, have mercyG1653 on meG1473. 39AndG2532 they whichG3588 went beforeG4254 rebukedG2008 himG846, thatG2443 he should holdG4623 hisG846 peaceG4623: butG1161 he criedG2896 so muchG4183 the moreG3123, Thou SonG5207 of DavidG1138, have mercyG1653 on meG1473. 40AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 stoodG2476, and commandedG2753 himG846 to be broughtG71 untoG4314 himG846: and whenG1161 heG846 was come nearG1448, he askedG1905 himG846, 41SayingG3004, WhatG5101 wilt thouG2309 that I shall doG4160 unto theeG4771? AndG1161 he saidG3004, LordG2962, thatG2443 I may receive my sightG308. 42AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto himG846, Receive thy sightG308: thyG4771 faithG3588G4102 hath savedG4982 theeG4771. 43AndG2532 immediatelyG3916 he received his sightG308, andG2532 followedG190 himG846, glorifyingG1392 GodG3588G2316: andG2532 allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992, when they sawG3708 it, gaveG1325 praiseG136 unto GodG3588G2316.
