18:1

Ελεγεν δε παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι αυτους και μη ενκακειν

And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;

18:2

λεγων Κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον Θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος

saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:

18:3

χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα Εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου

and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

18:4

Και ουκ ηθελεν επι χρονον μετα ταυτα δε ειπεν εν εαυτω Ει και τον Θεον ου φοβουμαι ουδε ανθρωπον εντρεπομαι

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

18:5

δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υπωπιαζη με

yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.

18:6

Ειπεν δε ο Κυριος Ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει

And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.

18:7

ο δε Θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων αυτω ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμει επ αυτοις

And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them?

18:8

λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο Υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης

I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

18:9

Ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην

And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:

18:10

Ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις Φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

18:11

ο Φαρισαιος σταθεις προς εαυτον ταυτα προσηυχετο Ο Θεος ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγες αδικοι μοιχοι η και ως ουτος ο τελωνης

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

18:12

νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι

I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.

18:13

Ο δε τελωνης μακροθεν εστως ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους επαραι εις τον ουρανον αλλ ετυπτεν το στηθος αυτου λεγων Ο Θεος ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω

But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.

¹

18:14

λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου παρ εκεινον οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται

I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

18:15

Προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται επετιμων αυτοις

And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

18:16

Ο δε Ιησους προσεκαλεσατο αυτα λεγων Αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του Θεου

But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

18:17

αμην λεγω υμιν ος αν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του Θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

18:18

Και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων Διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

18:19

Ειπεν δε αυτω ο Ιησους Τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο Θεος

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, even God.

18:20

τας εντολας οιδας Μη μοιχευσης Μη φονευσης Μη κλεψης Μη ψευδομαρτυρησης Τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.

18:21

Ο δε ειπεν Ταυτα παντα εφυλαξα εκ νεοτητος

And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.

18:22

Ακουσας δε ο Ιησους ειπεν αυτω Ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεις πωλησον και διαδος πτωχοις και εξεις θησαυρον εν τοις ουρανοις και δευρο ακολουθει μοι

And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

18:23

Ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενηθη ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα

But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.

18:24

Ιδων δε αυτον ο Ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν Πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εις την βασιλειαν του Θεου εισπορευονται

And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

18:25

ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρηματος βελονης εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του Θεου εισελθειν

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.

18:26

Ειπαν δε οι ακουσαντες Και τις δυναται σωθηναι

And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?

18:27

Ο δε ειπεν Τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα παρα τω Θεω εστιν

But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

18:28

Ειπεν δε ο Πετρος Ιδου ημεις αφεντες τα ιδια ηκολουθησαμεν σοι

And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.

18:29

Ο δε ειπεν αυτοις Αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις εστιν ος αφηκεν οικιαν η γυναικα η αδελφους η γονεις η τεκνα ενεκεν της βασιλειας του Θεου

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,

18:30

ος ουχι μη απολαβη πολλαπλασιονα εν τω καιρω τουτω και εν τω αιωνι τω ερχομενω ζωην αιωνιον

who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.

18:31

Παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους Ιδου αναβαινομεν εις Ιερουσαλημ και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω Υιω του ανθρωπου

And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.

18:32

παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται

For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:

18:33

και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται

and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

18:34

Και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα

And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

18:35

Εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις Ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον επαιτων

And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

18:36

ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο

and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.

18:37

Απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι Ιησους ο Ναζωραιος παρερχεται

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

18:38

Και εβοησεν λεγων Ιησου υιε Δαυιδ ελεησον με

And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

18:39

Και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιγηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν Υιε Δαυιδ ελεησον με

And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

18:40

Σταθεις δε ο Ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

18:41

Τι σοι θελεις ποιησω Ο δε ειπεν Κυριε ινα αναβλεψω

What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

18:42

Και ο Ιησους ειπεν αυτω Αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.

18:43

και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον Θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω Θεω

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
