Luk 18:1 And He also spoke a parable to them to teach it is always right to pray, and not to faint,
\nLuk 18:2 saying, A certain judge was in a certain city, not fearing God and not respecting man.
\nLuk 18:3 And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me from my adversary.
\nLuk 18:4 And for a time he would not. But after these things he said to himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not respect man,
\nLuk 18:5 yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, that not coming to the end, she wear me down.
\nLuk 18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge says;
\nLuk 18:7 and will God not at all execute the avengement of His elect, those crying to Him day and night, also having been long-suffering over them?
\nLuk 18:8 I say to you that He will carry out the avengement of them speedily. But the Son of Man coming then, will He find faith on the earth?
\nLuk 18:9 And He also spoke this parable to some of those relying on themselves, that they are righteous, and despising the rest:
\nLuk 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
\nLuk 18:11 The Pharisee was standing, praying these things to himself: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
\nLuk 18:12 I fast twice on the sabbath; I tithe all things, as many as I get.
\nLuk 18:13 And standing at a distance, the tax collector would not even lift up his eyes to Heaven, but smote on his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me, the sinner!
\nLuk 18:14 I say to you, This one went down to his house having been justified, rather than that one. For everyone exalting himself will be humbled. And the one humbling himself will be exalted.
\nLuk 18:15 And they brought infants to Him also, that He might touch them. But seeing, the disciples rebuked them.
\nLuk 18:16 But Jesus called them near, saying, Allow the children to come to Me, and do not prevent them. For of such is the kingdom of God.
\nLuk 18:17 Truly I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child, not at all will enter into it.
\nLuk 18:18 And a certain ruler asked Him saying, Good Teacher, what may I do to inherit eternal life?
\nLuk 18:19 But Jesus said to him, Why do you say Me to be good? No one is good, except One: God.
\nLuk 18:20 You know the commandments: “Do not commit adultery,” “do not murder,” “do not steal,” “do not bear false witness,” “honor your father and your mother.” Ex. 20:12-16
\nLuk 18:21 And he said, I have kept all these from my youth.
\nLuk 18:22 And hearing these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking to you: sell all, as much as you have, and give to the poor; and you will have treasure in Heaven. And come, follow Me.
\nLuk 18:23 But having heard these things, he became very sad, for he was exceedingly rich.
\nLuk 18:24 And having seen him becoming very sad, Jesus said, How hardly those having riches shall enter into the kingdom of God!
\nLuk 18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go in through a needle’s eye than for a rich one to enter into the kingdom of God.
\nLuk 18:26 And those hearing said, And who is able to be saved?
\nLuk 18:27 But He said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
\nLuk 18:28 And Peter said, Behold, we left all and followed You.
\nLuk 18:29 And He said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
\nLuk 18:30 who shall not receive many times more in this time, and in the age that is coming, everlasting life.
\nLuk 18:31 And having taken aside the Twelve, He said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things will be fulfilled which have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man.
\nLuk 18:32 For He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and will be insulted, and will be spat upon.
\nLuk 18:33 And flogging Him, they will kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.
\nLuk 18:34 And they did not understand these things, nothing! And this saying had been hidden from them, and they did not know the things being said.
\nLuk 18:35 And it happened as He drew near to Jericho, a certain blind one sat by the highway, begging.
\nLuk 18:36 And a crowd passing through, he asked what this might be.
\nLuk 18:37 And they reported to him that Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.
\nLuk 18:38 And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, pity me!
\nLuk 18:39 And those going before rebuked him, that he be quiet. But he much more cried out, Son of David, pity me!
\nLuk 18:40 And standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. And he drawing near, He asked him,
\nLuk 18:41 saying, What do you desire I do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may see again.
\nLuk 18:42 And Jesus said to him, See again! Your faith has healed you.
\nLuk 18:43 And instantly he saw again. And he followed Him, glorifying God. And seeing, all the people gave praise to God. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
