18Luke 18

1And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint,Select Luke 18:1

2Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man.Select Luke 18:2

3And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.Select Luke 18:3

4And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man,Select Luke 18:4

5Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.Select Luke 18:5

6And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.Select Luke 18:6

7And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard?Select Luke 18:7

8I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?Select Luke 18:8

9And to some who trusted in themselves as just and despised others, he spoke also this parable:Select Luke 18:9

10Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee and the other a publican.Select Luke 18:10

11The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.Select Luke 18:11

12I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.Select Luke 18:12

13And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.Select Luke 18:13

14I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.Select Luke 18:14

15And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.Select Luke 18:15

16But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.Select Luke 18:16

17Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child shall not enter into it.Select Luke 18:17

18And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?Select Luke 18:18

19And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.Select Luke 18:19

20Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.Select Luke 18:20

21Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.Select Luke 18:21

22Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee. Sell all whatever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.Select Luke 18:22

23He having heard these things, became sorrowful: for he was very rich.Select Luke 18:23

24And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of GodSelect Luke 18:24

25For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.Select Luke 18:25

26And they that heard it said: Who then can be saved?Select Luke 18:26

27He said to them: The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.Select Luke 18:27

28Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.Select Luke 18:28

29Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left home or parents or brethren or wife or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,Select Luke 18:29

30Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.Select Luke 18:30

31Then Jesus took unto him the twelve and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.Select Luke 18:31

32For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon.Select Luke 18:32

33And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death. And the third day he shall rise again.Select Luke 18:33

34And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them: and they understood not the things that were said.Select Luke 18:34

35Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.Select Luke 18:35

36And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.Select Luke 18:36

37And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.Select Luke 18:37

38And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.Select Luke 18:38

39And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.Select Luke 18:39

40And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,Select Luke 18:40

41Saying; What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.Select Luke 18:41

42And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.Select Luke 18:42

43And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.Select Luke 18:43
