Luke 18:1-14

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.
