GNT

1 ἔλεγεν δὲ παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ μὴ ἐγκακεῖν,

2 λέγων, κριτής τις ἦν ἔν τινι πόλει τὸν θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος.

3 χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα, ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου.

4 καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν ἐπὶ χρόνον, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῶ, εἰ καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι οὐδὲ ἄνθρωπον ἐντρέπομαι,

5 διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑπωπιάζῃ με.

6 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος, ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει·

7 ὁ δὲ θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν βοώντων αὐτῶ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμεῖ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς;

8 λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. πλὴν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;

9 εἶπεν δὲ καὶ πρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶν δίκαιοι καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντας τοὺς λοιποὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην·

10 ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ εἷς φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης.

11 ὁ φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο, ὁ θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὖτος ὁ τελώνης·

12 νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.

13 ὁ δὲ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπᾶραι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἀλλ᾽ ἔτυπτεν τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων, ὁ θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῶ ἁμαρτωλῶ.

14 λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὖτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ παρ᾽ ἐκεῖνον· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.

15 προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῶ καὶ τὰ βρέφη ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται· ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμων αὐτοῖς.

16 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς προσεκαλέσατο αὐτὰ λέγων, ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά, τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.

17 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.

18 καὶ ἐπηρώτησέν τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων, διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;

19 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός.

20 τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας· μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα.

21 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ταῦτα πάντα ἐφύλαξα ἐκ νεότητος.

22 ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει· πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν [τοῖς] οὐρανοῖς, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.

23 ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ἐγενήθη, ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα.

24 ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ ἰησοῦς [περίλυπον γενόμενον] εἶπεν, πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσπορεύονται·

25 εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ τρήματος βελόνης εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.

26 εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες, καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;

27 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ παρὰ τῶ θεῶ ἐστιν.

28 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ πέτρος, ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφέντες τὰ ἴδια ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι.

29 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ γυναῖκα ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ γονεῖς ἢ τέκνα ἕνεκεν τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ,

30 ὃς οὐχὶ μὴ [ἀπο]λάβῃ πολλαπλασίονα ἐν τῶ καιρῶ τούτῳ καὶ ἐν τῶ αἰῶνι τῶ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

31 παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ τελεσθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῶ υἱῶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·

32 παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται,

33 καὶ μαστιγώσαντες ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστήσεται.

34 καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα.

35 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῶ ἐγγίζειν αὐτὸν εἰς ἰεριχὼ τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἐπαιτῶν.

36 ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη τοῦτο·

37 ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῶ ὅτι ἰησοῦς ὁ ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται.

38 καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων, ἰησοῦ, υἱὲ δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.

39 καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῶ ἵνα σιγήσῃ· αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῶ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν, υἱὲ δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.

40 σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν,

41 τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.

42 καὶ ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ἀνάβλεψον· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε.

43 καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψεν, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῶ δοξάζων τὸν θεόν. καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῶ θεῶ.

1  And¹¹⁶¹ he spake³⁰⁰⁴ a²⁵³² parable³⁸⁵⁰ unto them⁸⁴⁶ to this end, that men ought¹¹⁶³ always³⁸⁴² to pray,⁴³³⁶ and²⁵³² not³³⁶¹ to faint;¹⁵⁷³

2  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ There was²²⁵⁸ in¹⁷²² a⁵¹⁰⁰ city⁴¹⁷² a⁵¹⁰⁰ judge,²⁹²³ which feared⁵³⁹⁹ not³³⁶¹ God,²³¹⁶ neither^{2532 3361} regarded¹⁷⁸⁸ man:⁴⁴⁴

3  And¹¹⁶¹ there was²²⁵⁸ a widow⁵⁵⁰³ in¹⁷²² that¹⁵⁶⁵ city;⁴¹⁷² and²⁵³² she came²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Avenge¹⁵⁵⁶ me³¹⁶⁵ of⁵⁷⁵ mine³⁴⁵⁰ adversary.⁴⁷⁶

4  And²⁵³² he would²³⁰⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ for a while:^{1909 5550} but¹¹⁶¹ afterward^{3326 5023} he said²⁰³⁶ within¹⁷²² himself,¹⁴³⁸ Though¹⁴⁹⁹ I fear⁵³⁹⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ God,²³¹⁶ nor^{2532 3756} regard¹⁷⁸⁸ man;⁴⁴⁴

5  Yet¹⁰⁶⁵ because this⁵⁰²⁶ widow⁵⁵⁰³ troubleth^{3930 2873} me,³⁴²⁷ I will avenge¹⁵⁵⁶ her,⁸⁴⁶ lest³³⁶³ by her continual^{1519 5056} coming²⁰⁶⁴ she weary⁵²⁹⁹ me.³¹⁶⁵

6  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said,²⁰³⁶ Hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ unjust⁹³ judge²⁹²³ saith.³⁰⁰⁴

7  And¹¹⁶¹ shall not³³⁶⁴ God²³¹⁶ avenge^{4160 1557} his own⁸⁴⁸ elect,¹⁵⁸⁸ which cry⁹⁹⁴ day²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² night³⁵⁷¹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ though²⁵³² he bear long³¹¹⁴ with¹⁹⁰⁹ them?⁸⁴⁶

8  I tell³⁰⁰⁴ you⁵²¹³ that³⁷⁵⁴ he will avenge^{4160 1557} them⁸⁴⁶ speedily.^{1722 5034} Nevertheless⁴¹³³ when the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ cometh,²⁰⁶⁴ shall⁶⁸⁷ he find²¹⁴⁷ faith⁴¹⁰² on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth?¹⁰⁹³

9  And¹¹⁶¹ he spake^{2036 2532} this⁵⁰²⁶ parable³⁸⁵⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ which trusted³⁹⁸² in¹⁹⁰⁹ themselves¹⁴³⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were¹⁵²⁶ righteous,¹³⁴² and²⁵³² despised¹⁸⁴⁸ others:³⁰⁶²

10  Two¹⁴¹⁷ men⁴⁴⁴ went up³⁰⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ to pray;⁴³³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ one¹⁵²⁰ a Pharisee,⁵³³⁰ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ other²⁰⁸⁷ a publican.⁵⁰⁵⁷

11  The³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisee⁵³³⁰ stood²⁴⁷⁶ and prayed⁴³³⁶ thus⁵⁰²³ with⁴³¹⁴ himself,¹⁴³⁸ God,²³¹⁶ I thank²¹⁶⁸ thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ I am¹⁵¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ as⁵⁶¹⁸ other³⁰⁶² men⁴⁴⁴ are, extortioners,⁷²⁷ unjust,⁹⁴ adulterers,³⁴³² or²²²⁸ even²⁵³² as⁵⁶¹³ this³⁷⁷⁸ publican.⁵⁰⁵⁷

12  I fast³⁵²² twice¹³⁶⁴ in the³⁵⁸⁸ week,⁴⁵²¹ I give tithes⁵⁸⁶ of all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁷⁴⁵ I possess.²⁹³²

13  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ publican,⁵⁰⁵⁷ standing²⁴⁷⁶ afar off,³¹¹³ would²³⁰⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ lift up¹⁸⁶⁹ so much as³⁷⁶¹ his eyes³⁷⁷⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ heaven,³⁷⁷² but²³⁵ smote⁵¹⁸⁰ upon¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ breast,⁴⁷³⁸ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ God²³¹⁶ be merciful²⁴³³ to me³⁴²⁷ a sinner.²⁶⁸

14  I tell³⁰⁰⁴ you,⁵²¹³ this man³⁷⁷⁸ went down²⁵⁹⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ house³⁶²⁴ justified¹³⁴⁴ rather than²²²⁸ the other:¹⁵⁶⁵ for³⁷⁵⁴ every one³⁹⁵⁶ that exalteth⁵³¹² himself¹⁴³⁸ shall be abased;⁵⁰¹³ and¹¹⁶¹ he that humbleth⁵⁰¹³ himself¹⁴³⁸ shall be exalted.⁵³¹²

15  And¹¹⁶¹ they brought⁴³⁷⁴ unto him⁸⁴⁶ also²⁵³² infants,¹⁰²⁵ that²⁴⁴³ he would touch⁶⁸⁰ them:⁸⁴⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ when his disciples³¹⁰¹ saw¹⁴⁹² it, they rebuked²⁰⁰⁸ them.⁸⁴⁶

16  But¹¹⁶¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ called⁴³⁴¹ them⁸⁴⁶ unto him, and said,²⁰³⁶ Suffer⁸⁶³ little children³⁸¹³ to come²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ me,³¹⁶⁵ and²⁵³² forbid²⁹⁶⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ not:³³⁶¹ for¹⁰⁶³ of such⁵¹⁰⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God.²³¹⁶

17  Verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Whosoever^{3739 1437} shall not³³⁶¹ receive¹²⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God²³¹⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ a little child³⁸¹³ shall in no wise³³⁶⁴ enter¹⁵²⁵ therein.^{1519 846}

18  And²⁵³² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ ruler⁷⁵⁸ asked¹⁹⁰⁵ him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Good¹⁸ Master,¹³²⁰ what⁵¹⁰¹ shall I do⁴¹⁶⁰ to inherit²⁸¹⁶ eternal¹⁶⁶ life?²²²²

19  And¹¹⁶¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Why⁵¹⁰¹ callest³⁰⁰⁴ thou me³¹⁶⁵ good?³⁷⁶² none³⁷⁶² is good,¹⁸ save¹⁵⁰⁸ one,¹⁵²⁰ that is, God.²³¹⁶

20  Thou knowest¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ commandments,¹⁷⁸⁵ Do not³³⁶¹ commit adultery,³⁴³¹ Do not³³⁶¹ kill,⁵⁴⁰⁷ Do not³³⁶¹ steal,²⁸¹³ Do not³³⁶¹ bear false witness,⁵⁵⁷⁶ Honor⁵⁰⁹¹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ father³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ mother.³³⁸⁴

21  And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ All³⁹⁵⁶ these⁵⁰²³ have I kept⁵⁴⁴² from¹⁵³⁷ my³⁴⁵⁰ youth³⁵⁰³ up.

22  Now¹¹⁶¹ when Jesus²⁴²⁴ heard¹⁹¹ these things,⁵⁰²³ he said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Yet²⁰⁸⁹ lackest³⁰⁰⁷ thou⁴⁶⁷¹ one thing:¹⁵²⁰ sell⁴⁴⁵³ all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁷⁴⁵ thou hast,²¹⁹² and²⁵³² distribute¹²³⁹ unto the poor,⁴⁴³⁴ and²⁵³² thou shalt have²¹⁹² treasure²³⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² heaven:³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² come,¹²⁰⁴ follow¹⁹⁰ me.³⁴²⁷

23  And¹¹⁶¹ when he³⁵⁸⁸ heard¹⁹¹ this,⁵⁰²³ he was¹⁰⁹⁶ very sorrowful:⁴⁰³⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ he was²²⁵⁸ very⁴⁹⁷⁰ rich.⁴¹⁴⁵

24  And¹¹⁶¹ when Jesus²⁴²⁴ saw¹⁴⁹² that he⁸⁴⁶ was¹⁰⁹⁶ very sorrowful,⁴⁰³⁶ he said,²⁰³⁶ How⁴⁴⁵⁹ hardly¹⁴²³ shall they that have²¹⁹² riches⁵⁵³⁶ enter¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God!²³¹⁶

25  For¹⁰⁶³ it is²⁰⁷⁶ easier²¹²³ for a camel²⁵⁷⁴ to go¹⁵²⁵ through¹²²³ a needle's⁴⁴⁷⁶ eye,⁵¹⁶⁸ than²²²⁸ for a rich man⁴¹⁴⁵ to enter¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God.²³¹⁶

26  And¹¹⁶¹ they that heard¹⁹¹ it said,²⁰³⁶ Who⁵¹⁰¹ then²⁵³² can¹⁴¹⁰ be saved?⁴⁹⁸²

27  And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ The things which are impossible¹⁰² with³⁸⁴⁴ men⁴⁴⁴ are²⁰⁷⁶ possible¹⁴¹⁵ with³⁸⁴⁴ God.²³¹⁶

28  Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Lo,²⁴⁰⁰ we²²⁴⁹ have left⁸⁶³ all,³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² followed¹⁹⁰ thee,⁴⁶⁷¹

29  And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ There is²⁰⁷⁶ no man³⁷⁶² that³⁷³⁹ hath left⁸⁶³ house,³⁶¹⁴ or²²²⁸ parents,¹¹¹⁸ or²²²⁸ brethren,⁸⁰ or²²²⁸ wife,¹¹³⁵ or²²²⁸ children,⁵⁰⁴³ for the kingdom of God's sake,^{1752 3588 932 2316}

30  Who³⁷³⁹ shall not³³⁶⁴ receive⁶¹⁸ manifold more⁴¹⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ present time,²⁵⁴⁰ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ world¹⁶⁵ to come²⁰⁶⁴ life²²²² everlasting.¹⁶⁶

31  Then¹¹⁶¹ he took³⁸⁸⁰ unto him the³⁵⁸⁸ twelve,¹⁴²⁷ and said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ we go up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ and²⁵³² all things³⁹⁵⁶ that are written¹¹²⁵ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets⁴³⁹⁶ concerning the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ shall be accomplished.⁵⁰⁵⁵

32  For¹⁰⁶³ he shall be delivered³⁸⁶⁰ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² shall be mocked,¹⁷⁰² and²⁵³² spitefully entreated,⁵¹⁹⁵ and²⁵³² spitted on:¹⁷¹⁶

33  And²⁵³² they shall scourge³¹⁴⁶ him, and put him to death:^{615 846} and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ third⁵¹⁵⁴ day²²⁵⁰ he shall rise again.⁴⁵⁰

34  And²⁵³² they⁸⁴⁶ understood⁴⁹²⁰ none³⁷⁶² of these things:⁵¹³⁰ and²⁵³² this⁵¹²⁴ saying⁴⁴⁸⁷ was²²⁵⁸ hid²⁹²⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶ neither^{2532 3756} knew¹⁰⁹⁷ they the things which were spoken.³⁰⁰⁴

35  And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that as he⁸⁴⁶ was come nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jericho,²⁴¹⁰ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ blind man⁵¹⁸⁵ sat²⁵²¹ by³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ way side³⁵⁹⁸ begging:⁴³¹⁹

36  And¹¹⁶¹ hearing¹⁹¹ the multitude³⁷⁹³ pass by,¹²⁷⁹ he asked⁴⁴⁴¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ it⁵¹²⁴ meant.¹⁴⁹⁸

37  And¹¹⁶¹ they told⁵¹⁸ him,⁸⁴⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ Jesus²⁴²⁴ of Nazareth³⁴⁸⁰ passeth by.³⁹²⁸

38  And²⁵³² he cried,⁹⁹⁴ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ thou son⁵²⁰⁷ of David,¹¹³⁸ have mercy¹⁶⁵³ on me.³¹⁶⁵

39  And²⁵³² they which went before⁴²⁵⁴ rebuked²⁰⁰⁸ him,⁸⁴⁶ that²⁴⁴³ he should hold his peace:⁴⁶²³ but¹¹⁶¹ he⁸⁴⁶ cried²⁸⁹⁶ so much⁴¹⁸³ the more,³¹²³ Thou son⁵²⁰⁷ of David,¹¹³⁸ have mercy¹⁶⁵³ on me.³¹⁶⁵

40  And¹¹⁶¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ stood,²⁴⁷⁶ and commanded²⁷⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ to be brought⁷¹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him:⁸⁴⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ was come near,¹⁴⁴⁸ he asked¹⁹⁰⁵ him,⁸⁴⁶

41  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ What⁵¹⁰¹ wilt²³⁰⁹ thou that I shall do⁴¹⁶⁰ unto thee?⁴⁶⁷¹ And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Lord,²⁹⁶² that²⁴⁴³ I may receive my sight.³⁰⁸

42  And²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Receive thy sight:³⁰⁸ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ faith⁴¹⁰² hath saved⁴⁹⁸² thee.⁴⁵⁷¹

43  And²⁵³² immediately³⁹¹⁶ he received his sight,³⁰⁸ and²⁵³² followed¹⁹⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ glorifying¹³⁹² God:²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² when they saw¹⁴⁹² it, gave¹³²⁵ praise¹³⁶ unto God.²³¹⁶

Vul

1 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,

2 dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.

3 Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo.

4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:

5 tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me.

6 Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit:

7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?

8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?

9 Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam:

10 Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent: unus pharisæus et alter publicanus.

11 Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat: Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus:

12 jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo.

13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.

14 Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.

15 Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.

16 Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos: talium est enim regnum Dei.

17 Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.

18 Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo?

19 Dixit autem ei Jesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.

20 Mandata nosti: non occides; non mœchaberis; non furtum facies; non falsum testimonium dices; honora patrem tuum et matrem.

21 Qui ait: Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea.

22 Quo audito, Jesus ait ei: Adhuc unum tibi deest: omnia quæcumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo: et veni, sequere me.

23 His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde.

24 Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!

25 facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.

26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?

27 Ait illis: Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.

28 Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.

29 Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,

30 et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam.

31 Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:

32 tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:

33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.

34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur.

35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.

36 Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.

37 Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.

38 Et clamavit, dicens: Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.

39 Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David, miserere mei.

40 Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,

41 dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine, ut videam.

42 Et Jesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.

43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
