18Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,G1161G3004G2532G3850G846G4314G1163G3842G4336G2532G3361G1573 2saying, "There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God, and did not respect man.G3004G2258G1722G5100G4172G5100G2923G5399G3361G2316G2532G3361G1788G444 3"And there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'G1161G2258G5503G1722G1565G4172G2532G2064G4314G846G3004G1556G3165G575G3450G476 4"And for a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,G2532G2309G3756G1909G5550G1161G5023G3326G2036G1722G1438G1499G5399G3756G2316G2532G3756G1788G444 5yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, lest by continually coming she wear me out. '"G1065G1223G5026G5503G3930G2873G3427G1556G846G3363G1519G5056G2064G5299G3165 6And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said;G1161G2962G2036G191G5101G93G2923G3004 7now shall not God bring about justice for His elect, who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?G1161G1557G3364G2316G4160G1557G846G1588G3588G994G2250G2532G3571G4314G846G2532G3114G1909G846 8"I tell you that He will bring about justice for them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"G3004G5213G3754G4160G1557G846G5034G1722G4133G687G5207G444G2064G2147G4102G1909G1093 9And He also told this parable to certain ones who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:G1161G2036G2532G5026G3850G4314G5100G3588G3982G1909G1438G3754G1526G1342G2532G1848G3062 10"Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.G1417G444G305G1519G2411G4336G1520G5330G2532G2087G5057 11"The Pharisee stood and was praying thus to himself, 'God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax-gatherer.G5330G2476G4336G5023G4314G1438G2316G2168G4671G3754G1510G3756G5618G3062G444G727G94G3432G2228G2532G5613G3778G5057 12'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'G3522G1364G4521G586G3956G3745G2932 13"But the tax-gatherer, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ' God, be merciful to me, the sinner! 'G2532G5057G2476G3113G2309G3756G1869G3761G3788G1519G3772G235G5180G1519G846G4738G3004G2316G2433G3427G268 14"I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."G3004G5213G3778G2597G1519G846G3624G1344G2228G1565G3754G3956G5312G1438G5013G1161G5013G1438G5312 15And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they [began] rebuking them.G1161G4374G846G2532G1025G2443G680G846G1161G3101G1492G2008G846 16But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.G1161G2424G4341G846G2036G863G3813G2064G4314G3165G2532G2967G846G3361G1063G5108G2076G932G2316 17"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it [at all.]"G281G3004G5213G3739G1209G3362G1209G932G2316G5613G3813G1525G3364G1525G1519G846 18And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"G2532G5100G758G1905G846G3004G18G1320G5101G4160G2816G166G2222 19And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.G1161G2424G2036G846G5101G3004G3165G18G3762G18G1508G1520G2316 20"You know the commandments, 'DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"G1492G1785G3431G3361G3431G5407G3361G5407G2813G3361G2813G5576G3361G5576G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384 21And he said, "All these things I have kept from [my] youth."G1161G2036G3956G5023G5442G1537G3450G3503 22And when Jesus heard [this,] He said to him, "One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess, and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."G1161G2424G191G5023G2036G846G2089G3007G4671G1520G4453G3956G3745G2192G2532G1239G4434G2532G2192G2344G1722G3772G2532G1204G190G3427 23But when he had heard these things, he became very sad; for he was extremely rich.G1161G191G5023G1096G4036G1063G2258G4970G4145 24And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!G1161G2424G1492G846G1096G4036G2036G4459G1423G1525G2192G5536G1525G1519G932G2316 25"For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."G1063G2076G2123G2574G1525G1223G4476G5168G2228G4145G1525G1519G932G2316 26And they who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"G1161G191G2036G5101G2532G1410G4982 27But He said, "The things impossible with men are possible with God."G1161G2036G102G3844G444G2076G1415G3844G2316 28And Peter said, "Behold, we have left our own [homes,] and followed You."G1161G4074G2036G2400G2249G863G3956G2532G190G4671 29And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,G1161G2036G846G281G3004G5213G3754G2076G3762G3739G863G3614G2228G1118G2228G80G2228G1135G2228G5043G1752G932G2316G1752 30who shall not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life. "G3739G618G3364G618G4179G1722G5129G2540G2532G1722G165G2064G2222G166 31And He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.G1161G3880G1427G2036G4314G846G2400G305G1519G2414G2532G3956G1125G1223G4396G5207G444G5055 32"For He will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,G1063G3860G1484G2532G1702G2532G5195G2532G1716 33and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again. "G2532G3146G615G846G615G2532G5154G2250G450 34And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.G2532G846G4920G3762G5130G2532G5124G4487G2258G2928G575G846G2532G3756G1097G3004 35And it came about that as He was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road, begging.G1161G1096G1722G846G1448G1519G2410G5100G5185G2521G3844G3598G4319 36Now hearing a multitude going by, he [began] to inquire what this might be.G1161G191G3793G1279G4441G5101G5124G1498 37And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.G1161G518G846G3754G2424G3480G3928 38And he called out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"G2532G994G3004G2424G5207G1138G1653G3165 39And those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"G2532G4254G2008G846G2443G4623G1161G846G2896G4183G3123G5207G1138G1653G3165 40And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he had come near, He questioned him,G1161G2424G2476G2753G846G71G4314G846G1161G846G1448G1905G846 41"What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, [I want] to regain my sight!"G3004G5101G2309G4160G4671G1161G2036G2962G2443G308 42And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."G2532G2424G2036G846G308G4675G4102G4982G4571 43And immediately he regained his sight, and [began] following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.G2532G3916G308G2532G190G846G1392G2316G2532G3956G2992G1492G1325G136G2316
