1And he spoke a parable to them to the effect that they ought always to pray, and not lose heart; 2saying, There was in a city a judge, who did not fear God, and did not regard man: 3and there was a widow in that city; and she came often to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I do not fear God, nor regard man; 5yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming. 6And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7And shall not God avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them? 8I say to you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth? 9And he spoke also this parable to certain ones who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated all others with contempt: 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get. 13But the tax collector, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but struck his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner. 14I say to you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles himself shall be exalted. 15And they were bringing to him also their babies, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16But Yeshua called them to him, saying, Allow the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them: for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall by no means enter into it. 18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19And Yeshua said to him, Why do you call me good? no one is good, except one, even God. 20You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother. 21And he said, All these things I have observed from my youth up. 22And when Yeshua heard it, he said to him, One thing you still lack: sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23But when he heard these things, he became exceedingly sorrowful; for he was very rich. 24And Yeshua seeing him said, How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26And those who heard it said, Then who can be saved? 27But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. 28And Peter said, Look, we have left our own, and followed you. 29And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 30who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life. 31And he took to him the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished to the Son of man. 32For he shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon: 33and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. 34And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not perceive the things that were said. 35And it happened, as he drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging: 36and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. 37And they told him, that Yeshua of Nazareth passes by. 38And he cried, saying, Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me. 39And those who went before rebuked him, that he should be silent: but he cried out all the more, You son of David, have mercy on me. 40And Yeshua stood, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him, 41What do you want me to do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42And Yeshua said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has made you whole. 43And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
