Luke 18

3 Of the importunate widow. 9 Of the Pharisee and the publican. 15 Children brought to Christ. 18 A ruler that would follow Christ, but is hindered by his riches. 28 The reward of them that leave all for his sake. 31 He foresheweth his death, 35 and restoreth a blind man to his sight.

 18:1 ¶ And 1161 he spake 3004 z5707 y2532 a x2532 parable 3850 unto them 846 y4314 [to this end], that men ought 1163 z5750 always 3842 to pray, 4336 z5738 and 2532 not 3361 to faint; 1573 z5721

 18:2 Saying, 3004 z5723 There was 2258 z5713 in 1722 a 5100 city 4172 a 5100 judge, 2923 which feared 5399 z5740 not 3361 God, 2316 neither 2532 3361 regarded 1788 z5746 man: 444

 18:3 And 1161 there was 2258 z5713 a widow 5503 in 1722 that 1565 city; 4172 and 2532 she came 2064 z5711 unto 4314 him, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 Avenge 1556 z5657 me 3165 of 575 mine 3450 adversary. 476

 18:4 And 2532 he would 2309 z5656 not 3756 for y1909 a while: 5550 x1909 but 1161 afterward 5023 3326 he said 2036 z5627 within 1722 himself, 1438 Though 1499 I fear 5399 z5736 not 3756 God, 2316 nor 2532 3756 regard 1788 z5743 man; 444

 18:5 Yet 1065 because y1223 this 5026 widow 5503 troubleth 3930 2873 z5721 me, 3427 I will avenge 1556 z5692 her, 846 lest 3363 by y1519 her continual 5056 x1519 coming 2064 z5740 she weary 5299 z5725 me. 3165

 18:6 And 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 said, 2036 z5627 Hear 191 z5657 what 5101 the x3588 unjust 93 judge 2923 saith. 3004 z5719

 18:7 And 1161 shall y1557 z0 not 3364 God 2316 avenge 1557 x4160 his own y846 x848 elect, 1588 y4160 z5692 which y3588 cry 994 z5723 day 2250 and 2532 night 3571 unto 4314 him, 846 though 2532 he bear long 3114 z5723 with 1909 them? 846

 18:8 I tell 3004 z5719 you 5213 that 3754 he will y4160 z5692 avenge 1557 x4160 them 846 speedily. 5034 1722 Nevertheless 4133 when y687 the x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 cometh, 2064 z5631 shall x687 he find 2147 z5692 faith 4102 on 1909 the x3588 earth? 1093

 18:9 And 1161 he spake 2036 2532 z5627 this 5026 parable 3850 unto 4314 certain 5100 which y3588 trusted 3982 z5756 in 1909 themselves 1438 that 3754 they were 1526 z5748 righteous, 1342 and 2532 despised 1848 z5723 others: 3062

 18:10 Two 1417 men 444 went up 305 z5627 into 1519 the x3588 temple 2411 to pray; 4336 z5664 the x3588 one 1520 a Pharisee, 5330 and 2532 the x3588 other 2087 a publican. 5057

 18:11 The x3588 Pharisee 5330 stood 2476 z5685 and prayed 4336 z5711 thus 5023 with 4314 himself, 1438 God, 2316 I thank 2168 z5719 thee, 4671 that 3754 I am 1510 z5748 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 z5719 twice 1364 in the x3588 week, 4521 I give tithes 586 z5719 of all 3956 that 3745 I possess. 2932 z5736

 18:13 And 2532 the x3588 publican, 5057 standing 2476 z5761 afar off, 3113 would 2309 z5707 not 3756 lift up 1869 z5658 so much as 3761 [his] eyes y3788 x3778 unto 1519 heaven, 3772 but 235 smote 5180 z5707 upon 1519 his y846 x848 breast, 4738 saying, 3004 z5723 God 2316 be merciful 2433 z5682 to me 3427 a sinner. 268

 18:14 I tell 3004 z5719 you, 5213 this man 3778 went down 2597 z5627 to 1519 his y846 x848 house 3624 justified 1344 z5772 [rather] than 2228 the other: 1565 for 3754 every one 3956 that exalteth 5312 z5723 himself 1438 shall be abased; 5013 z5701 and 1161 he that humbleth 5013 z5723 himself 1438 shall be exalted. 5312 z5701

 18:15 And 1161 they brought 4374 z5707 unto him 846 also 2532 infants, 1025 that 2443 he would touch 680 z5735 them: 846 but 1161 when [his] disciples 3101 saw 1492 z5631 [it], they rebuked 2008 z5656 them. 846

 18:16 But 1161 Jesus 2424 called 4341 z5666 them 846 [unto him], and said, 2036 z5627 Suffer 863 z5628 little children 3813 to come 2064 z5738 unto 4314 me, 3165 and 2532 forbid 2967 z5720 them 846 not: 3361 for 1063 of such 5108 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God. 2316

 18:17 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 Whosoever 3739 x1437 shall y1209 z0 not y3362 x3361 receive 1209 z5667 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God 2316 as 5613 a little child 3813 shall y1525 z0 in no wise 3364 enter 1525 z5632 therein. 1519 846

 18:18 And 2532 a certain 5100 ruler 758 asked 1905 z5656 him, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 Good 18 Master, 1320 what 5101 shall I do 4160 z5660 to inherit 2816 z5692 z5661 eternal 166 life? 2222

 18:19 And 1161 Jesus 2424 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Why 5101 callest x3004 thou y3004 z5719 me 3165 good? y18 x3762 none 3762 [is] good, 18 save 1508 one, 1520 [that is], God. 2316

 18:20 Thou knowest 1492 z5758 the x3588 commandments, 1785 Do y3431 z0 not 3361 commit adultery, 3431 z5661 Do y5407 z0 not 3361 kill, 5407 z5661 Do y2813 z0 not 3361 steal, 2813 z5661 Do y5576 z0 not 3361 bear false witness, 5576 z5661 Honour 5091 z5720 thy 4675 father 3962 and 2532 thy 4675 mother. 3384

 18:21 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 All 3956 these 5023 have I kept 5442 z5668 from 1537 my 3450 youth 3503 up.

 18:22 Now 1161 when Jesus 2424 heard 191 z5660 these things, 5023 he said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Yet 2089 lackest 3007 z5719 thou 4671 one y1520 thing: x1520 sell 4453 z5657 all 3956 that 3745 thou hast, 2192 z5719 and 2532 distribute 1239 z5628 unto the poor, 4434 and 2532 thou shalt have 2192 z5692 treasure 2344 in 1722 heaven: 3772 and 2532 come, 1204 z5773 follow 190 z5720 me. 3427

 18:23 And 1161 when he x3588 heard 191 z5660 this, 5023 he was 1096 z5633 very sorrowful: 4036 for 1063 he was 2258 z5713 very 4970 rich. 4145

 18:24 And 1161 when Jesus 2424 saw 1492 z5631 that he 846 was 1096 z5637 very sorrowful, 4036 he said, 2036 z5627 How 4459 hardly 1423 shall they y1525 z0 that have 2192 z5723 riches 5536 enter 1525 z5695 into 1519 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God! 2316

 18:25 For 1063 it is 2076 z5748 easier 2123 for a camel 2574 to go 1525 z5629 through 1223 a needle's 4476 eye, 5168 than 2228 for a rich man 4145 to enter 1525 z5629 into 1519 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God. 2316

 18:26 And 1161 they that heard 191 z5660 [it] said, 2036 z5627 Who 5101 then 2532 can x1410 be y1410 z5736 saved? 4982 z5683

 18:27 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 The things which are impossible 102 with 3844 men 444 are 2076 z5748 possible 1415 with 3844 God. 2316

 18:28 Then 1161 Peter 4074 said, 2036 z5627 Lo, 2400 z5628 we 2249 have left 863 z5656 all, 3956 and 2532 followed 190 z5656 thee. 4671

 18:29 And 1161 he x3588 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 y3754 There is 2076 z5748 no man 3762 that 3739 hath left 863 z5656 house, 3614 or 2228 parents, 1118 or 2228 brethren, 80 or 2228 wife, 1135 or 2228 children, 5043 for y1752 z0 the kingdom y932 of God's y2316 sake, 1752 x3588 x932 x2316

 18:30 Who 3739 shall y618 z0 not 3364 receive 618 z5632 manifold more 4179 in 1722 this 5129 present time, 2540 and 2532 in 1722 the x3588 world 165 to come 2064 z5740 life 2222 everlasting. 166

 18:31 ¶ Then 1161 he took 3880 z5631 [unto him] the x3588 twelve, 1427 and said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 them, 846 Behold, 2400 z5628 we go up 305 z5719 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2414 and 2532 all things 3956 that are written 1125 z5772 by 1223 the x3588 prophets 4396 concerning the x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 shall be accomplished. 5055 z5701

 18:32 For 1063 he shall be delivered 3860 z5701 unto the x3588 Gentiles, 1484 and 2532 shall be mocked, 1702 z5701 and 2532 spitefully entreated, 5195 z5701 and 2532 spitted on: 1716 z5701

 18:33 And 2532 they shall scourge 3146 z5660 [him], and put y615 z0 him y846 to death: 615 z5692 x846 and 2532 the x3588 third 5154 day 2250 he shall rise again. 450 z5698

 18:34 And 2532 they 846 understood 4920 z5656 none 3762 of these things: 5130 and 2532 this 5124 saying 4487 was 2258 z5713 hid 2928 z5772 from 575 them, 846 y2532 neither 3756 x2532 knew x1097 they y1097 z5707 the things which were spoken. 3004 z5746

 18:35 ¶ And 1161 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 that as y1722 he 846 was come nigh 1448 z5721 unto 1519 Jericho, 2410 a certain 5100 blind man 5185 sat 2521 z5711 by 3844 the x3588 way side 3598 begging: 4319 z5723

 18:36 And 1161 hearing 191 z5660 the multitude 3793 pass by, 1279 z5740 he asked 4441 z5711 what 5101 it 5124 meant. 1498 z5751

 18:37 And 1161 they told 518 z5656 him, 846 that 3754 Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3480 passeth by. 3928 z5736

 18:38 And 2532 he cried, 994 z5656 saying, 3004 z5723 Jesus, 2424 [thou] Son 5207 of David, 1138 have mercy 1653 z5657 on me. 3165

 18:39 And 2532 they which went before 4254 z5723 rebuked 2008 z5707 him, 846 that 2443 he should hold his peace: 4623 z5661 but 1161 he 846 cried 2896 z5707 so much 4183 the more, 3123 [Thou] Son 5207 of David, 1138 have mercy 1653 z5657 on me. 3165

 18:40 And 1161 Jesus 2424 stood, 2476 z5685 and commanded 2753 z5656 him 846 to be brought 71 z5683 unto 4314 him: 846 and 1161 when he 846 was come near, 1448 z5660 he asked 1905 z5656 him, 846

 18:41 Saying, 3004 z5723 What 5101 wilt x2309 thou y2309 z5719 that I shall do 4160 z5661 unto thee? 4671 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 Lord, 2962 that 2443 I may receive my sight. 308 z5661

 18:42 And 2532 Jesus 2424 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Receive thy sight: 308 z5657 thy 4675 faith 4102 hath saved 4982 z5758 thee. 4571

 18:43 And 2532 immediately 3916 he received his sight, 308 z5656 and 2532 followed 190 z5707 him, 846 glorifying 1392 z5723 God: 2316 and 2532 all 3956 the x3588 people, 2992 when they saw 1492 z5631 [it], gave 1325 z5656 praise 136 unto God. 2316
