|
|
2. saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who didn't fear God, and didn't respect man.
|
2. Saying G3004 , There was G2258 in G1722 a G5100 city G4172 a G5100 judge G2923 , which feared G5399 not G3361 God G2316 , neither G2532 G3361 regarded G1788 man G444 :
|
|
3. A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Defend me from my adversary!'
|
3. And 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 .
|
|
4. He wouldn't for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,
|
4. And G2532 he would G2309 not G3756 for a while G1909 G5550 : but G1161 afterward G3326 G5023 he said G2036 within G1722 himself G1438 , Though G1499 I fear G5399 not G3756 God G2316 , nor G2532 G3756 regard G1788 man G444 ;
|
|
5. yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
|
5. Yet G1065 because this G5026 widow G5503 troubleth G3930 G2873 me G3427 , I will avenge G1556 her G846 , lest G3363 by her continual G1519 G5056 coming G2064 she weary G5299 me G3165 .
|
|
6. The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
|
6. And G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 said G2036 , Hear G191 what G5101 the G3588 unjust G93 judge G2923 saith G3004 .
|
|
7. Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
|
7. And G1161 shall not G3364 God G2316 avenge G4160 G1557 his own G848 elect G1588 , which 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 you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
|
8. I tell G3004 you G5213 that G3754 he will avenge G4160 G1557 them G846 speedily G1722 G5034 . Nevertheless G4133 when the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 cometh G2064 , shall G687 he find G2147 faith G4102 on G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 ?
|
|

|
9. And G1161 he spake G2036 G2532 this G5026 parable G3850 unto G4314 certain G5100 which trusted G3982 in G1909 themselves G1438 that G3754 they were G1526 righteous G1342 , and G2532 despised G1848 others G3062 :

|
|
11. The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
|
11. The G3588 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 twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
|
12. I fast G3522 twice G1364 in the G3588 week G4521 , I give tithes G586 of all G3956 that G3745 I possess G2932 .
|
|
13. But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'
|
13. And G2532 the G3588 publican G5057 , standing G2476 afar off G3113 , would G2309 not G3756 lift up G1869 so much as G3761 his eyes G3778 unto G1519 heaven G3772 , but G235 smote G5180 upon G1519 his G848 breast G4738 , saying G3004 , God G2316 be merciful G2433 to me G3427 a sinner G268 .
|
|
14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
|
14. I tell G3004 you G5213 , this man G3778 went down G2597 to G1519 his G848 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 .

|
15. And 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 .
|
|
16. Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and don't hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
|
16. But G1161 Jesus G2424 called G4341 them G846 unto him, and 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 G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 .
|
|
17. Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
|
17. Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Whosoever G3739 G1437 shall not G3361 receive G1209 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 as G5613 a little child G3813 shall in no wise G3364 enter G1525 therein G1519 G846 .

|

|
|
19. Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one�God.
|
19. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him G846 , Why G5101 callest G3004 thou me G3165 good G3762 ? none G3762 is good G18 , save G1508 one G1520 , that is, God G2316 .
|
|
20. You know the commandments: 'Don't commit adultery,' 'Don't murder,' 'Don't steal,' 'Don't give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"
|
20. Thou knowest G1492 the G3588 commandments G1785 , Do not G3361 commit adultery G3431 , Do not G3361 kill G5407 , Do not G3361 steal G2813 , Do not G3361 bear false witness G5576 , Honor G5091 thy G4675 father G3962 and G2532 thy G4675 mother G3384 .

21. He said, "I have observed all these things from my youth up."
|
21. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , All G3956 these G5023 have I kept G5442 from G1537 my G3450 youth G3503 up.
|
|
22. When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
|
22. Now G1161 when Jesus G2424 heard G191 these things G5023 , he said G2036 unto him G846 , Yet G2089 lackest G3007 thou G4671 one thing G1520 : sell G4453 all G3956 that G3745 thou hast G2192 , and G2532 distribute G1239 unto the poor G4434 , and G2532 thou shalt have G2192 treasure G2344 in G1722 heaven G3772 : and G2532 come G1204 , follow G190 me G3427 .
|
|
23. But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
|
23. And G1161 when he G3588 heard G191 this G5023 , he was G1096 very sorrowful G4036 : for G1063 he was G2258 very G4970 rich G4145 .
|
|
24. Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
|
24. And G1161 when Jesus G2424 saw G1492 that he G846 was G1096 very sorrowful G4036 , he said G2036 , How G4459 hardly G1423 shall they that have G2192 riches G5536 enter G1525 into G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 !
|
|
25. For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."
|
25. For G1063 it is G2076 easier G2123 for a camel G2574 to go G1525 through G1223 a needle G4476 's eye G5168 , than G2228 for a rich man G4145 to enter G1525 into G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 .
|
|
26. Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
|
26. And G1161 they that heard G191 it said G2036 , Who G5101 then G2532 can G1410 be saved G4982 ?
|
|
27. But he said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."
|
27. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , The things which are impossible G102 with G3844 men G444 are G2076 possible G1415 with G3844 God G2316 .

|
28. Then G1161 Peter G4074 said G2036 , Lo G2400 , we G2249 have left G863 all G3956 , and G2532 followed G190 thee G4671 ,
|
|
29. He said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,
|
29. And G1161 he G3588 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 the kingdom of God's sake G1752 G3588 G932 G2316 ,
|
|
30. who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life."
|
30. Who G3739 shall not G3364 receive G618 manifold more G4179 in G1722 this G5129 present time G2540 , and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 world G165 to come G2064 life G2222 everlasting G166 .
|
|
31. He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
|
31. Then G1161 he took G3880 unto him the G3588 twelve G1427 , and 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 G3588 prophets G4396 concerning the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 shall be accomplished G5055 .
|
|
32. For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
|
32. For G1063 he shall be delivered G3860 unto the G3588 Gentiles G1484 , and G2532 shall be mocked G1702 , and G2532 spitefully entreated G5195 , and G2532 spitted on G1716 :
|
|
33. They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."
|
33. And G2532 they shall scourge G3146 him, and put him to death G615 G846 : and G2532 the G3588 third G5154 day G2250 he shall rise again G450 .
|
|
34. They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn't understand the things that were said.
|
34. And 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 G2532 G3756 knew G1097 they the things which were spoken G3004 .
|
|
35. It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
|
35. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , that as he G846 was come nigh G1448 unto G1519 Jericho G2410 , a certain G5100 blind man G5185 sat G2521 by G3844 the G3588 way side G3598 begging G4319 :
|
|
36. Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
|
36. And G1161 hearing G191 the multitude G3793 pass by G1279 , he asked G4441 what G5101 it G5124 meant G1498 .
|
|
37. They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
|
37. And G1161 they told G518 him G846 , that G3754 Jesus G2424 of Nazareth G3480 passeth by G3928 .
|
|
38. He cried out, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"
|
38. And G2532 he cried G994 , saying G3004 , Jesus G2424 , thou son G5207 of David G1138 , have mercy G1653 on me G3165 .
|
|
39. Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"
|
39. And G2532 they which went before G4254 rebuked G2008 him G846 , that G2443 he 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 .
|
|
40. Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
|
40. And G1161 Jesus G2424 stood G2476 , and commanded G2753 him G846 to be brought G71 unto G4314 him G846 : and G1161 when he G846 was come near G1448 , he asked G1905 him G846 ,
|
|
41. "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
|
41. Saying G3004 , What G5101 wilt G2309 thou that I shall do G4160 unto thee G4671 ? And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , Lord G2962 , that G2443 I may receive my sight G308 .
|
|
42. Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
|
42. And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him G846 , Receive thy sight G308 : thy G4675 faith G4102 hath saved G4982 thee G4571 .
|
|
43. Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
