Lk Chapter 18 Verses 1-43

18:1
And
he
made
a
story
for
them,
the
point
of
which
was
that
men
were
to go
on
making
prayer
and
not
get
tired;
18:2
Saying,
There
was
a
judge
in
a
certain
town,
who
had
no
fear
of
God
or
respect
for
man:
18:3
And
there
was
a
widow
in
that
town,
and
she
kept
on
coming to
him
and
saying,
Give
me
my
right
against
the
man
who
has
done
me
wrong.
18:4
And
for
a
time
he
would not:
but
later,
he
said
to
himself,
Though
I
have
no
fear
of
God
or
respect
for
man,
18:5
Because
this
widow
is
a
trouble
to
me,
I
will
give
her
her
right;
for
if
not,
I
will
be
completely
tired
out
by
her
frequent
coming.
18:6
And
the
Lord
said,
Give
ear
to
the
words
of
the
evil
judge.
18:7
And
will not
God
do
right
in
the
cause
of
his
saints,
whose
cries
come
day
and
night
to
his
ears,
though
he
is
long
in
doing
it?
18:8
I
say
to
you
that
he
will
quickly
do
right
in
their
cause.
But
when
the
Son
of
man
comes,
will
there
be
any
faith
on
earth?
18:9
And
he
made
this
story
for
some
people
who
were
certain
that
they
were
good,
and
had
a
low
opinion
of
others:
18:10
Two
men
went up
to
the
Temple
for
prayer;
one
a
Pharisee,
and
the
other
a
tax-farmer.
18:11
The
Pharisee,
taking
up
his
position,
said
to
himself
these
words:
God,
I
give
you
praise
because
I
am not
like
other
men,
who
take
more
than
their
right,
who
are
evil-doers,
who
are
untrue
to
their
wives,
or
even
like
this
tax-farmer.
18:12
Twice
in
the
week
I
go
without
food;
I
give
a tenth
of
all
I
have.
18:13
The
tax-farmer,
on
the
other
hand,
keeping
far
away,
and
not
lifting
up
even
his
eyes
to
heaven,
made
signs
of
grief
and
said,
God,
have
mercy
on
me,
a
sinner.
18:14
I
say
to
you,
This
man
went back
to
his
house
with
God’s
approval,
and
not
the
other:
for
everyone
who
makes
himself
high
will
be
made
low
and
whoever
makes
himself
low
will
be
made
high.
18:15
And
they
took
their
children
to
him,
so
that
he
might
put
his
hands
on
them:
but
when
the
disciples
saw
it,
they
said
sharp
words
to
them
18:16
But
Jesus
sent
for
them,
saying,
Let
the
children
come to
me,
and
do not
keep
them
away,
for
of
such
is
the
kingdom
of
heaven.
18:17
Truly
I
say
to
you,
Whoever
does not put
himself
under
the
kingdom
of
God
like
a
little
child,
will not come
into
it
at
all.
18:18
And
a
certain
ruler
put
a
question
to
him,
saying,
Good
Master,
what
have
I
to
do
so
that
I
may
have
eternal
life?
18:19
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
Why
do you
say
that
I
am
good?
No
one
is
good,
but
only
God.
18:20
You
have
knowledge
of
what
the
law
says:
Do not
be
untrue
to
your
wife,
Do not put
anyone
to
death,
Do not
take
what
is
not
yours,
Do not
give
false
witness,
Give
honour
to
your
father
and
mother.
18:21
And
he
said,
All
these
things
I
have
done
from
the
time
when
I
was
a
boy.
18:22
And
Jesus,
hearing
it,
said
to
him,
One
thing
you
still
have
need
of;
get
money
for
your
goods,
and
give
it
away
to
the
poor,
and
you
will
have
wealth
in
heaven;
and
come
after
me.
18:23
But
at
these
words
he
became
very sad,
for
he
had
great
wealth.
18:24
And
Jesus,
looking at
him,
said,
How
hard
it
is
for
those
who
have
wealth
to
get
into
the
kingdom
of
God!
18:25
It
is
simpler
for
a
camel
to go
through
the
eye
of
a
needle,
than
for
a
man
who
has
much
money
to
come
into
the
kingdom
of
God.
18:26
And
those
who
were
present
said,
Then
who
may
have
salvation?
18:27
But
he
said,
Things
which
are not
possible
with
man
are
possible
with
God.
18:28
And
Peter
said,
See,
we
have
given
up
what
is
ours
to
come
after
you.
18:29
And
he
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
There
is
no
man
who
has
given
up
house
or
wife
or
brothers
or
father
or
mother
or
children,
because
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
18:30
Who
will not
get
much
more
in
this
time,
and
in
the
world
to
come,
eternal
life.
18:31
And
he
took
with
him
the
twelve
and
said
to
them,
Now
we
are
going up
to
Jerusalem,
and
all
the
things
which
were
said
by
the
prophets
will
be
done
to
the
Son
of
man.
18:32
For
he
will
be
given
up to
the
Gentiles,
and
will
be
made
sport
of
and
put
to
shame:
18:33
And
he
will
be
given
cruel
blows
and
put
to
death,
and
on
the
third
day
he
will
come back
to
life.
18:34
But
they
did not
take in
the
sense
of
any
of
these
words,
and
what
he
said
was
not
clear
to
them,
and
their
minds
were not
able
to
see
it.
18:35
And
it
came
about
that
when
he
got
near
Jericho,
a
certain
blind man
was
seated
by
the
side
of
the
road,
making
requests
for
money
from
those
who
went by.
18:36
And
hearing
the
sound
of
a
great
number
of
people
going by,
he
said,
What
is
this?
18:37
And
they
said
to
him,
Jesus
of
Nazareth
is
going by.
18:38
And
he
said
in
a
loud
voice,
Jesus,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me.
18:39
And
those
who
were
in front
made
protests
and
said
to
him,
Be quiet:
but
he
said
all
the
more,
O
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me.
18:40
And
Jesus,
stopping,
gave
orders
that
he
was
to
come to
him,
and
when
he
came
near,
he
said
to
him,
18:41
What
would
you
have
me
do
for
you?
And
he
said,
Lord,
that
I
may
be able
to
see
again.
18:42
And
Jesus
said,
See
again:
your
faith
has
made
you
well.
18:43
And
straight away
he
was able
to
see,
and
he
went
after
him,
giving
glory
to
God;
and
all
the
people
when
they
saw
it
gave
praise
to
God.
