Luke 18

1Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι αυτους και μη εκκακειν,

2saying: 'There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.

λεγων· κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος.

3Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.'

χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη, και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα· εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου.

4And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man,

και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον· μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω· ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι,

5yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.' '

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

6Then the Lord said, 'Hear what the unjust judge said.

ειπεν δε ο κυριος· ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει·

7And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος, και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις;

8I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?'

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

9Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

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

10'Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι, ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης.

11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

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·

12I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'

νηστευω δις του σαββατου, αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι.

13And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

και ο τελωνης μακροθεν εστως ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους εις τον ουρανον επαραι, αλλ ετυπτεν εις το στηθος αυτου λεγων· ο θεος, ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω.

14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.'

λεγω υμιν, κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου η γαρ εκεινος· οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται, ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται.

15Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται· και ιδοντες οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις.

16But Jesus called them to Him and said, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτα ειπεν· αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα· των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου.

17Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.'

αμην λεγω υμιν, ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον, ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην.

18Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, 'Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?'

και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων· διδασκαλε αγαθε, τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω;

19So Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους· τι με λεγεις αγαθον; ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος.

20You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not bear false witness,' 'Honor your father and your mother.' '

τας εντολας οιδας· μη μοιχευσης, μη φονευσης, μη κλεψης, μη ψευδομαρτυρησης, τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου.

21And he said, 'All these things I have kept from my youth.'

ο δε ειπεν· ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου.

22So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, 'You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.'

ακουσας δε ταυτα ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω· ετι εν σοι λειπει· παντα οσα εχεις πωλησον και διαδος πτωχοις, και εξεις θησαυρον εν ουρανω, και δευρο ακολουθει μοι.

23But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο· ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα.

24And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, 'How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν· πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου!

25For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'

ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν.

26And those who heard it said, 'Who then can be saved?'

ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες· και τις δυναται σωθηναι;

27But He said, 'The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.'

ο δε ειπεν· τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα παρα τω θεω εστιν.

28Then Peter said, 'See, we have left all and followed You.'

ειπεν δε ο πετρος· ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι.

29So He said to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις εστιν ος αφηκεν οικιαν η γονεις η αδελφους η γυναικα η τεκνα ενεκεν της βασιλειας του θεου,

30who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.'

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

31Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, 'Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.

παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους· ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελειωθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου.

32For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται,

33They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.'

και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον, και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται.

34But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.

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

35Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging.

εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων·

36And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.

ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα.

37So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται.

38And he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!'

και εβοησεν λεγων· ιησου υιε δαυιδ, ελεησον με.

39Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!'

και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση· αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν· υιε δαυιδ, ελεησον με.

40So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,

σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον. εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον

41saying, 'What do you want Me to do for you?'

λεγων· τι σοι θελεις ποιησω; ο δε ειπεν· κυριε, ινα αναβλεψω.

42He said, 'Lord, that I may receive my sight.' Then Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.'

και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω· αναβλεψον· η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε.

43And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν, και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον· και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω.
