1And[G1161] he spake[G3004] a parable[G3850] unto them[G846] to this end, that men ought[G1163]always[G3842] to pray[G4336], and[G2532]not[G3361] to faint[G1573];
2Saying[G3004], There was[G2258]in[G1722]a[G5100]city[G4172]a[G5100]judge[G2923], which feared[G5399]not[G3361]God[G2316], neither[G2532]regarded[G1788]man[G444]:
3And[G1161] there was[G2258] a widow[G5503]in[G1722]that[G1565]city[G4172]; and[G2532] she came[G2064]unto[G4314]him[G846], saying[G3004], Avenge[G1556]me[G3165]of[G575]mine[G3450]adversary[G476].
4And[G2532] he would[G2309]not[G3756]for[G1909] a while[G5550]: but[G1161]afterward[G5023] he said[G2036]within[G1722]himself[G1438], Though[G1499] I fear[G5399]not[G3756]God[G2316], nor[G2532]regard[G1788]man[G444];
5Yet[G1065]because[G1223]this[G5026]widow[G5503]troubleth[G3930]me[G3427], I will avenge[G1556]her[G846], lest[G3363]by[G1519]her[G846]continual[G5056]coming[G2064] she weary[G5299]me[G3165].
6And[G1161] the Lord[G2962]said[G2036], Hear[G191]what[G5101] the unjust[G93]judge[G2923]saith[G3004].
7And[G1161]shall[G1557]not[G3364]God[G2316]avenge[G4160] his own[G846]elect[G1588], which[G3588]cry[G994]day[G2250]and[G2532]night[G3571]unto[G4314]him[G846], though[G2532] he bear long[G3114]with[G1909]them?[G846]
8
I tell[G3004]you[G5213]that[G3754] he will[G4160]avenge[G1557]them[G846]speedily[G5034]. Nevertheless[G4133]when[G687] the Son[G5207] of man[G444]cometh[G2064], shall he find[G2147]faith[G4102]on[G1909] the earth?[G1093]
9And[G1161] he spake[G2036]this[G5026]parable[G3850]unto[G4314]certain[G5100]which[G3588]trusted[G3982]in[G1909]themselves[G1438]that[G3754] they were[G1526]righteous[G1342], and[G2532]despised[G1848]others[G3062]:
10Two[G1417]men[G444] went up[G305]into[G1519] the temple[G2411] to pray[G4336]; the one[G1520] a Pharisee[G5330], and[G2532] the other[G2087] a publican[G5057].
11
The Pharisee[G5330]stood[G2476] and prayed[G4336]thus[G5023]with[G4314]himself[G1438], God[G2316], I thank[G2168]thee[G4671], that[G3754] I am[G1510]not[G3756]as[G5618]other[G3062]men[G444] are, extortioners[G727], unjust[G94], adulterers[G3432], or[G2228]even[G2532]as[G5613]this[G3778]publican[G5057].
12
I fast[G3522]twice[G1364] in the week[G4521], I give tithes[G586] of all[G3956]that[G3745] I possess[G2932].
13And[G2532] the publican[G5057], standing[G2476] afar off[G3113], would[G2309]not[G3756] lift up[G1869] so much as[G3761]his[G846]eyes[G3788]unto[G1519]heaven[G3772], but[G235]smote[G5180]upon[G1519]his[G846]breast[G4738], saying[G3004], God[G2316] be merciful[G2433] to me[G3427] a sinner[G268].
14
I tell[G3004]you[G5213], this man[G3778] went down[G2597]to[G1519]his[G846]house[G3624]justified[G1344] rather than[G2228] the other[G1565]: for[G3754] every one[G3956] that exalteth[G5312]himself[G1438] shall be abased[G5013]; and[G1161] he that humbleth[G5013]himself[G1438] shall be exalted[G5312].
15And[G1161] they brought[G4374] unto him[G846]also[G2532]infants[G1025], that[G2443] he would touch[G680]them[G846]: but[G1161] when his disciples[G3101]saw[G1492] it, they rebuked[G2008]them[G846].
16But[G1161]Jesus[G2424]called[G4341]them[G846]unto[G4314] him, and[G2532]said[G2036], Suffer[G863] little children[G3813] to come[G2064]unto[G4314]me[G3165], and[G2532]forbid[G2967]them[G846]not[G3361]: for[G1063] of such[G5108]is[G2076] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316].
17Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Whosoever[G3739]shall[G1209]not[G3362]receive[G1209] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316]as[G5613] a little child[G3813]shall[G1525] in no wise[G3364]enter[G1525]therein[G1519].
18And[G2532] a certain[G5100]ruler[G758]asked[G1905]him[G846], saying[G3004], Good[G18]Master[G1320], what[G5101] shall I do[G4160] to inherit[G2816]eternal[G166]life?[G2222]
19And[G1161]Jesus[G2424]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Why[G5101] callest thou[G3004]me[G3165]good?[G18]none[G3762] is good[G18], save[G1508]one[G1520], that is, God[G2316].
21And[G1161] he said[G2036], All[G3956]these[G5023] have I kept[G5442]from[G1537]my[G3450]youth[G3503] up.
22Now[G1161] when Jesus[G2424]heard[G191] these things[G5023], he said[G2036] unto him[G846], Yet[G2089]lackest[G3007]thou[G4671]one[G1520] thing: sell[G4453]all[G3956]that[G3745]thou[G4671]hast[G2192], and[G2532]distribute[G1239] unto the poor[G4434], and[G2532]thou[G4671] shalt have[G2192]treasure[G2344]in[G1722]heaven[G3772]: and[G2532]come[G1204], follow[G190]me[G3427].
23And[G1161] when he heard[G191]this[G5023], he was[G1096]very[G4970]sorrowful[G4036]: for[G1063] he was[G2258]very[G4970]rich[G4145].
24And[G1161] when Jesus[G2424]saw[G1492] that he[G846]was[G1096] very sorrowful[G4036], he[G846]said[G2036], How[G4459]hardly[G1423] shall they[G1525] that have[G2192]riches[G5536]enter[G1525]into[G1519] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316]!
25For[G1063] it is[G2076]easier[G2123]for[G1063] a camel[G2574] to go[G1525]through[G1223] a needle's eye[G5168], than[G2228]for[G1063] a rich man[G4145] to enter[G1525]into[G1519] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316].
26And[G1161] they that heard[G191] it said[G2036], Who[G5101]then[G2532] can be[G1410]saved?[G4982]
27And[G1161] he said[G2036], The things which are[G2076]impossible[G102]with[G3844]men[G444]are[G2076]possible[G1415]with[G3844]God[G2316].
28Then[G1161]Peter[G4074]said[G2036], Lo[G2400], we[G2249] have left[G863]all[G3956], and[G2532]followed[G190]thee[G4671].
29And[G1161] he said[G2036] unto them[G846], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], There is[G2076] no man[G3762]that[G3739] hath left[G863]house[G3614], or[G2228]parents[G1118], or[G2228]brethren[G80], or[G2228]wife[G1135], or[G2228]children[G5043], for[G1752] the kingdom[G932] of God's sake[G1752],
30Who[G3739]shall[G618]not[G3364]receive[G618] manifold more[G4179]in[G1722]this[G5129] present time[G2540], and[G2532]in[G1722] the world[G165] to come[G2064]life[G2222]everlasting[G166].
31Then[G1161] he took[G3880]unto[G4314] him the twelve[G1427], and[G2532]said[G2036]unto[G4314]them[G846], Behold[G2400], we go up[G305]to[G1519]Jerusalem[G2414], and[G2532] all things[G3956] that are written[G1125]by[G1223] the prophets[G4396] concerning the Son[G5207] of man[G444] shall be accomplished[G5055].
32For[G1063] he shall be delivered[G3860] unto the Gentiles[G1484], and[G2532] shall be mocked[G1702], and[G2532] spitefully entreated[G5195], and[G2532] spitted on[G1716]:
33And[G2532] they shall scourge[G3146]him[G846], and[G2532]put[G615]him[G846] to death[G615]: and[G2532] the third[G5154]day[G2250] he shall rise again[G450].
34And[G2532]they[G846]understood[G4920]none[G3762] of these things[G5130]: and[G2532]this[G5124]saying[G4487]was[G2258]hid[G2928]from[G575]them[G846], neither[G3756] knew they[G1097] the things[G5130] which were spoken[G3004].
35And[G1161] it came to pass[G1096], that as[G1722]he[G846] was come nigh[G1448]unto[G1519]Jericho[G2410], a certain[G5100] blind man[G5185]sat[G2521]by[G3844] the way side[G3598]begging[G4319]:
36And[G1161]hearing[G191] the multitude[G3793] pass by[G1279], he asked[G4441]what[G5101]it[G5124]meant[G1498].
37And[G1161] they told[G518]him[G846], that[G3754]Jesus[G2424] of Nazareth[G3480] passeth by[G3928].
38And[G2532] he cried[G994], saying[G3004], Jesus[G2424], thou Son[G5207] of David[G1138], have mercy[G1653] on me[G3165].
39And[G2532] they which went before[G4254]rebuked[G2008]him[G846], that[G2443]he[G846] should hold his peace[G4623]: but[G1161]he[G846]cried[G2896] so much[G4183] the more[G3123], Thou Son[G5207] of David[G1138], have mercy[G1653] on me[G3165].
40And[G1161]Jesus[G2424]stood[G2476], and[G1161]commanded[G2753]him[G846] to be brought[G71]unto[G4314]him[G846]: and[G1161] when he[G846] was come near[G1448], he[G846]asked[G1905]him[G846],
41Saying[G3004], What[G5101] wilt thou[G2309]that[G2443] I shall do[G4160] unto thee?[G4671]And[G1161] he said[G2036], Lord[G2962], that[G2443] I may receive my sight[G308].
43And[G2532]immediately[G3916] he received his sight[G308], and[G2532]followed[G190]him[G846], glorifying[G1392]God[G2316]: and[G2532]all[G3956] the people[G2992], when they saw[G1492] it, gave[G1325]praise[G136] unto God[G2316].
