1 G1161 He G2532 also G3004 spoke G3850 a parable G846 to them G4314 that G1163 they must G3842 always G4336 pray, G2532 and G3361 not G1573 give up,

2 G3004 saying, G2258 "There was G5100 a G2923 judge G1722 in G4172 a certain city G5100 who G3361 didn't G5399 fear G2316 God, G2532 and G3361 didn't G1788 respect G444 man.

3 G1161 A G5503 widow G2258 was G1722 in G1565 that G4172 city, G1161 and G2064 she often came G4314 to G846 him, G3004 saying, G1556 ‘Defend G3165 me G575 from G3450 my G476 adversary!'

4 G2532 He G2309 G3756 wouldn't G1909 for G5023 a G5550 while, G1161 but G3326 afterward G5023 G2036 he said G1722 to G1438 himself, G2532 G1487 ‘Though G5023 I G5399 neither fear G2532 God, G3756 nor G1788 respect G444 man,

5 G1065 yet G1223 because G3778 this G5503 widow G3930 G2873 bothers G3427 me, G1556 I will defend G2443 her, G3361 or else G5299 she will wear G3165 me G1519 out by G2064 her G5056 continual G2064 coming.'"

6 G1161 The G2962 Lord G2036 said, G191 "Listen G5101 to what G93 the unrighteous G2923 judge G3004 says.

7 G1161 G1557 G3364 Won't G2316 God G1557 avenge G846 his G1588 chosen G3588 ones, who G994 are crying G4314 out to G846 him G2250 day G2532 and G3571 night, G2532 and yet G3114 he exercises patience G1909 with G846 them?

8 G3004 I tell G5213 you G3754 that G4160 he will G1557 avenge G846 them G1722 G5034 quickly. G4133 Nevertheless, when G5207 the Son G444 of Man G2064 comes, G687 will G2147 he find G4102 faith G1909 on G1093 the earth?"

9 G1161 He G2036 spoke G2532 also G3778 this G3850 parable G4314 to G5100 certain G3588 people who G1526 were G3982 convinced G1909 of G1438 their G3754 own G1342 righteousness, G2532 and G1848 who despised G3062 all others.

10 G1417 "Two G444 men G305 went up G1519 into G2411 the temple G4336 to pray; G1520 one G5330 was a Pharisee, G2532 and G2087 the other G5057 was a tax collector.

11 G5330 The Pharisee G2476 stood G4336 and prayed G4314 to G1438 himself G5023 like G2316 this: ‘God, G2168 I thank G4671 you, G3754 that G1510 I am G3756 not G5618 like G3062 the rest G444 of men, G727 extortioners, G94 unrighteous, G3432 adulterers, G2228 or G2532 even G5613 like G3778 this G5057 tax collector.

12 G3522 I fast G1364 twice G4521 a week. G586 I give tithes G3956 of all G3745 that G2932 I get.'

13 G2532 But G5057 the tax collector, G2476 standing G3113 far away, G2309 G3756 wouldn't G3761 even G1869 lift up G3788 his eyes G1519 to G3772 heaven, G235 but G5180 beat G1519 G846 his G4738 breast, G3004 saying, G2316 ‘God, G2433 be merciful G3427 to me, G268 a sinner!'

14 G3004 I tell G5213 you, G3778 this man G2597 went down G1519 to G846 his G3624 house G1344 justified G2228 rather than G1565 the other; G3754 for G3956 everyone G3588 who G5312 exalts G1438 himself G5013 will be humbled, G1161 but G3588 he who G5013 humbles G1438 himself G5312 will be exalted."

15 G1161 They G2532 were also G4374 bringing G1025 their babies G846 to him, G2443 that G680 he might touch G846 them. G1161 But when G3101 the disciples G1492 saw G2008 it, they rebuked G846 them.

16 G1161 G2424 Jesus G4341 summoned G846 them, G2036 saying, G863 "Allow G3813 the little children G2064 to come G4314 to G3165 me, G2532 and G3361 don't G2967 hinder G846 them, G1063 for G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God G2076 belongs G5108 to such as these.

17 G281 Most certainly, G3004 I tell G5213 you, G3739 whoever G1209 G3362 doesn't G1209 receive G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God G5613 like G3813 a little child, G1525 he will G3756 in G3364 no way G1525 enter G1519 into G846 it."

18 G2532 A G5100 certain G758 ruler G1905 asked G846 him, G3004 saying, G18 "Good G1320 Teacher, G5101 what G4160 shall I do G2816 to inherit G166 eternal G2816 life?"

19 Jesus asked him, ""Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one — God.

20 G1492 You know G1785 the commandments: G3431 G3361 ‘Don't G3431 commit adultery,' G5407 G3361 ‘Don't G5407 murder,' G2813 G3361 ‘Don't G2813 steal,' G5576 G3361 ‘Don't G5576 give false testimony,' G5091 ‘Honor G4675 your G3962 father G2532 and G4675 your G3384 mother.'""

21 G1161 He G2036 said, G5442 "I have observed G3956 all G5023 these G1537 things from G3450 my G3503 youth up."

22 G1161 When G2424 Jesus G191 heard G5023 these things, G2036 he said G846 to him, G4671 "You G2089 still G1520 lack one thing. G4453 Sell G3956 all G3745 that G4671 you G2192 have, G2532 and G1239 distribute G4434 it to the poor. G2532 You G2192 will have G2344 treasure G1722 in G3772 heaven. G2532 G1204 Come, G190 follow G3427 me."

23 G1161 But when G191 he heard G5023 these things, G1096 he became G4036 very sad, G1063 for G1096 he was G4970 very G4145 rich.

24 G1161 G2424 Jesus, G1492 seeing that G846 he G1096 became G4036 very sad, G2036 said, G4459 "How G1423 hard G1525 it is G3588 for those who G2192 have G5536 riches G1525 to enter G1519 into G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God!

25 G1063 For G2076 it is G2123 easier for G2574 a camel G1525 to enter G1223 in through G4476 a needle's G5168 eye, G2228 than for G4145 a rich man G1525 to enter G1519 into G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God."

26 G1161 Those G3588 who G191 heard G2036 it said, G2532 "Then G5101 who G1410 can G4982 be saved?"

27 G1161 But G2036 he said, G3588 "The things which G2076 are G102 impossible G3844 with G444 men G1415 are possible G3844 with G2316 God."

28 G1161 G4074 Peter G2036 said, G2400 "Look, G2249 we G863 have left G3956 everything, G2532 and G190 followed G4671 you."

29 G1161 He G2036 said G846 to them, G281 "Most certainly G3004 I tell G3754 you, G2076 there is G3762 no one G3739 who G863 has left G3614 house, G2228 or G1135 wife, G2228 or G80 brothers, G2228 or G1118 parents, G2228 or G5043 children, G1752 for G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God's G1752 sake,

30 G3739 who G618 will G3756 G3361 not G618 receive G4179 many times more G1722 in G5129 this G2540 time, G2532 and G1722 in G165 the world G2064 to come, G166 eternal G2222 life."

31 G1161 He G3880 took G1427 the twelve G2036 aside, and said G4314 to G846 them, G2400 "Behold, G305 we are going up G1519 to G2414 Jerusalem, G2532 and G3956 all the things G3588 that are G1125 written G1223 through G4396 the prophets G5207 concerning the Son G444 of Man G5055 will be completed.

32 G1063 For G3860 he will be delivered G1484 up to the Gentiles, G2532 will G1702 be mocked, G2532 G5195 treated G2532 shamefully, and G1716 spit on.

33 G2532 They G3146 will scourge G2532 and G615 kill G846 him. G2532 On G5154 the third G2250 day, G450 he will rise again."

34 G846 They G4920 understood G3762 none G5130 of these things. G5124 This G4487 saying G2258 was G2928 hidden G575 from G2532 them, G1097 and they G3756 didn't G3588 understand the things that G3004 were said.

35 G1161 It G1096 happened, G1722 as G846 he G1448 came near G1519 G2410 Jericho, G5100 a certain G5185 blind man G2521 sat G3844 by G3598 the road, G4319 begging.

36 G191 Hearing G3793 a multitude G1279 going by, G4441 he asked G5101 what G5124 this G1498 meant.

37 G1161 They G518 told G846 him G3754 that G2424 Jesus G3480 of Nazareth G3928 was passing by.

38 G2532 He G994 cried G3004 out, G2424 "Jesus, G5207 you son G1138 of David, G1653 have mercy G3165 on me!"

39 G2532 Those G3588 who G4254 led the way G2008 rebuked G846 him, G2443 that G846 he G4623 should be G4623 quiet; G1161 but G2896 he cried G4183 out all G3123 the more, G5207 "You son G1138 of David, G1653 have mercy G3165 on me!"

40 G2476 Standing G2424 still, Jesus G2753 commanded G846 him G4314 to G71 be brought G4314 to G846 him. G1161 When G846 he G1448 had come near, G1905 he asked G846 him,

41 G3004 G5101 "What G4160 do G2309 you G4160 want me to do?" G4671 G2036 He said, G2962 "Lord, G2443 that G308 I may see again."

42 G2532 G2424 Jesus G2036 said G846 to him, G308 "Receive your sight. G4675 Your G4102 faith G4982 has healed G4571 you."

43 G2532 G3916 Immediately G308 he received his sight, G2532 and G190 followed G846 him, G1392 glorifying G2316 God. G2532 G3956 All G2992 the people, G1492 when they saw G1325 it, G136 praised G2316 God.
