Luke 18
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that
men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared
not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came
unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he
said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor
regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge
her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge
saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry
day and night unto him, though he bear long with
them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he
find faith on the earth?
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which
trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and
despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,
God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all
that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not
lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote
upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a
sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house
justified rather than the other: for every one that
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he
would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they
rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer
little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:
for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive
the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise
enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit
adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth
up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto
him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou
hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for
he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he
said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter
into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a
needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God.
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be
saved?
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with
men are possible with God.
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and
followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or
brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of
God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this
present time, and in the world to come life
everlasting.
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto
them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things
that are written by the prophets concerning the Son
of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and
shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and
spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death:
and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this
saying was hid from them, neither knew they the
things which were spoken.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto
Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side
begging:
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what
it meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth
by.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David,
have mercy on me.
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he
should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more,
Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought
unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?
And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy
faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and
followed him, glorifying God: and all the people,
when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
