18:1 And 1161 he spake 3004 5707 2532 a parable 3850 unto them 846 4314 [to this end], that men ought 1163 5750 always 3842 to pray 4336 5738, and 2532 not 3361 to faint 1573 5721;

18:2 Saying 3004 5723, There was 2258 5713 in 1722 a 5100 city 4172 a 5100 judge 2923, which feared 5399 5740 not 3361 God 2316, neither 2532 3361 regarded 1788 5746 man 444:(in a city: Gr. in a certain city)

18:3 And 1161 there was 2258 5713 a widow 5503 in 1722 that 1565 city 4172; and 2532 she came 2064 5711 unto 4314 him 846, saying 3004 5723, Avenge 1556 5657 me 3165 of 575 mine 3450 adversary 476.

18:4 And 2532 he would 2309 5656 not 3756 for 1909 a while 5550: but 1161 afterward 5023 3326 he said 2036 5627 within 1722 himself 1438, Though 1499 I fear 5399 5736 not 3756 God 2316, nor 2532 3756 regard 1788 5743 man 444;

18:5 Yet 1065 because 1223 this 5026 widow 5503 troubleth 3930 5721 2873 me 3427, I will avenge 1556 5692 her 846, lest 3363 by 1519 her continual 5056 coming 2064 5740 she weary 5299 5725 me 3165.

18:6 And 1161 the Lord 2962 said 2036 5627, Hear 191 5657 what 5101 the unjust 93 judge 2923 saith 3004 5719.

18:7 And 1161 shall 1557 0 not 3364 God 2316 avenge 4160 5692 1557 his own 846 elect 1588, which 3588 cry 994 5723 day 2250 and 2532 night 3571 unto 4314 him 846, though 2532 he bear long 3114 5723 with 1909 them 846?

18:8 I tell 3004 5719 you 5213 that 3754 he will 4160 5692 avenge 1557 them 846 speedily 5034 1722. Nevertheless 4133 when 687 the Son 5207 of man 444 cometh 2064 5631, shall he find 2147 5692 faith 4102 on 1909 the earth 1093?

18:9 And 1161 he spake 2036 5627 2532 this 5026 parable 3850 unto 4314 certain 5100 which 3588 trusted 3982 5756 in 1909 themselves 1438 that 3754 they were 1526 5748 righteous 1342, and 2532 despised 1848 5723 others 3062:(that…: or, as being righteous)

18:10 Two 1417 men 444 went up 305 5627 into 1519 the temple 2411 to pray 4336 5664; the one 1520 a Pharisee 5330, and 2532 the other 2087 a publican 5057.

18:11 The Pharisee 5330 stood 2476 5685 and prayed 4336 5711 thus 5023 with 4314 himself 1438, God 2316, I thank 2168 5719 thee 4671, that 3754 I am 1510 5748 not 3756 as 5618 other 3062 men 444 [are], extortioners 727, unjust 94, adulterers 3432, or 2228 even 2532 as 5613 this 3778 publican 5057.

18:12 I fast 3522 5719 twice 1364 in the week 4521, I give tithes 586 5719 of all 3956 that 3745 I possess 2932 5736.

18:13 And 2532 the publican 5057, standing 2476 5761 afar off 3113, would 2309 5707 not 3756 lift up 1869 5658 so much as 3761 [his] eyes 3788 unto 1519 heaven 3772, but 235 smote 5180 5707 upon 1519 his 846 breast 4738, saying 3004 5723, God 2316 be merciful 2433 5682 to me 3427 a sinner 268.

18:14 I tell 3004 5719 you 5213, this man 3778 went down 2597 5627 to 1519 his 846 house 3624 justified 1344 5772 [rather] than 2228 the other 1565: for 3754 every one 3956 that exalteth 5312 5723 himself 1438 shall be abased 5013 5701; and 1161 he that humbleth 5013 5723 himself 1438 shall be exalted 5312 5701.

18:15 And 1161 they brought 4374 5707 unto him 846 also 2532 infants 1025, that 2443 he would touch 680 5735 them 846: but 1161 when [his] disciples 3101 saw 1492 5631 [it], they rebuked 2008 5656 them 846.

18:16 But 1161 Jesus 2424 called 4341 5666 them 846 [unto him], and said 2036 5627, Suffer 863 5628 little children 3813 to come 2064 5738 unto 4314 me 3165, and 2532 forbid 2967 5720 them 846 not 3361: for 1063 of such 5108 is 2076 5748 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.

18:17 Verily 281 I say 3004 5719 unto you 5213, Whosoever 3739 shall 1209 0 not 3362 receive 1209 5667 the kingdom 932 of God 2316 as 5613 a little child 3813 shall 1525 0 in no wise 3364 enter 1525 5632 therein 1519 846.

18:18 And 2532 a certain 5100 ruler 758 asked 1905 5656 him 846, saying 3004 5723, Good 18 Master 1320, what 5101 shall I do 4160 5660 to inherit 2816 5692 eternal 166 life 2222?

18:19 And 1161 Jesus 2424 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Why 5101 callest thou 3004 5719 me 3165 good 18? none 3762 [is] good 18, save 1508 one 1520, [that is], God 2316.

18:20 Thou knowest 1492 5758 the commandments 1785, Do 3431 0 not 3361 commit adultery 3431 5661, Do 5407 0 not 3361 kill 5407 5661, Do 2813 0 not 3361 steal 2813 5661, Do 5576 0 not 3361 bear false witness 5576 5661, Honour 5091 5720 thy 4675 father 3962 and 2532 thy 4675 mother 3384.

18:21 And 1161 he said 2036 5627, All 3956 these 5023 have I kept 5442 5668 from 1537 my 3450 youth 3503 up.

18:22 Now 1161 when Jesus 2424 heard 191 5660 these things 5023, he said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Yet 2089 lackest 3007 5719 thou 4671 one 1520 thing: sell 4453 5657 all 3956 that 3745 thou hast 2192 5719, and 2532 distribute 1239 5628 unto the poor 4434, and 2532 thou shalt have 2192 5692 treasure 2344 in 1722 heaven 3772: and 2532 come 1204 5773, follow 190 5720 me 3427.

18:23 And 1161 when he heard 191 5660 this 5023, he was 1096 5633 very sorrowful 4036: for 1063 he was 2258 5713 very 4970 rich 4145.

18:24 And 1161 when Jesus 2424 saw 1492 5631 that he 846 was 1096 5637 very sorrowful 4036, he said 2036 5627, How 4459 hardly 1423 shall they 1525 0 that have 2192 5723 riches 5536 enter 1525 5695 into 1519 the kingdom 932 of God 2316!

18:25 For 1063 it is 2076 5748 easier 2123 for a camel 2574 to go 1525 5629 through 1223 a needle's 4476 eye 5168, than 2228 for a rich man 4145 to enter 1525 5629 into 1519 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.

18:26 And 1161 they that heard 191 5660 [it] said 2036 5627, Who 5101 then 2532 can be 1410 5736 saved 4982 5683?

18:27 And 1161 he said 2036 5627, The things which are impossible 102 with 3844 men 444 are 2076 5748 possible 1415 with 3844 God 2316.

18:28 Then 1161 Peter 4074 said 2036 5627, Lo 2400 5628, we 2249 have left 863 5656 all 3956, and 2532 followed 190 5656 thee 4671.

18:29 And 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Verily 281 I say 3004 5719 unto you 5213, 3754 There is 2076 5748 no man 3762 that 3739 hath left 863 5656 house 3614, or 2228 parents 1118, or 2228 brethren 80, or 2228 wife 1135, or 2228 children 5043, for 1752 0 the kingdom 932 of God's 2316 sake 1752,

18:30 Who 3739 shall 618 0 not 3364 receive 618 5632 manifold more 4179 in 1722 this 5129 present time 2540, and 2532 in 1722 the world 165 to come 2064 5740 life 2222 everlasting 166.

18:31 Then 1161 he took 3880 5631 [unto him] the twelve 1427, and said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, Behold 2400 5628, we go up 305 5719 to 1519 Jerusalem 2414, and 2532 all things 3956 that are written 1125 5772 by 1223 the prophets 4396 concerning the Son 5207 of man 444 shall be accomplished 5055 5701.

18:32 For 1063 he shall be delivered 3860 5701 unto the Gentiles 1484, and 2532 shall be mocked 1702 5701, and 2532 spitefully entreated 5195 5701, and 2532 spitted on 1716 5701:

18:33 And 2532 they shall scourge 3146 5660 [him], and put 615 0 him 846 to death 615 5692: and 2532 the third 5154 day 2250 he shall rise again 450 5698.

18:34 And 2532 they 846 understood 4920 5656 none 3762 of these things 5130: and 2532 this 5124 saying 4487 was 2258 5713 hid 2928 5772 from 575 them 846, 2532 neither 3756 knew they 1097 5707 the things which were spoken 3004 5746.

18:35 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 5633, that as 1722 he 846 was come nigh 1448 5721 unto 1519 Jericho 2410, a certain 5100 blind man 5185 sat 2521 5711 by 3844 the way side 3598 begging 4319 5723:

18:36 And 1161 hearing 191 5660 the multitude 3793 pass by 1279 5740, he asked 4441 5711 what 5101 it 5124 meant 1498 5751.

18:37 And 1161 they told 518 5656 him 846, that 3754 Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3480 passeth by 3928 5736.

18:38 And 2532 he cried 994 5656, saying 3004 5723, Jesus 2424, [thou] Son 5207 of David 1138, have mercy 1653 5657 on me 3165.

18:39 And 2532 they which went before 4254 5723 rebuked 2008 5707 him 846, that 2443 he should hold his peace 4623 5661: but 1161 he 846 cried 2896 5707 so much 4183 the more 3123, [Thou] Son 5207 of David 1138, have mercy 1653 5657 on me 3165.

18:40 And 1161 Jesus 2424 stood 2476 5685, and commanded 2753 5656 him 846 to be brought 71 5683 unto 4314 him 846: and 1161 when he 846 was come near 1448 5660, he asked 1905 5656 him 846,

18:41 Saying 3004 5723, What 5101 wilt thou 2309 5719 that I shall do 4160 5661 unto thee 4671? And 1161 he said 2036 5627, Lord 2962, that 2443 I may receive my sight 308 5661.

18:42 And 2532 Jesus 2424 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Receive thy sight 308 5657: thy 4675 faith 4102 hath saved 4982 5758 thee 4571.

18:43 And 2532 immediately 3916 he received his sight 308 5656, and 2532 followed 190 5707 him 846, glorifying 1392 5723 God 2316: and 2532 all 3956 the people 2992, when they saw 1492 5631 [it], gave 1325 5656 praise 136 unto God 2316.
