^ Lu 18.1: And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
^ Lu 18.2: Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
^ Lu 18.3: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
^ Lu 18.4: And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
^ Lu 18.5: Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
^ Lu 18.6: And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
^ Lu 18.7: And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
^ Lu 18.8: I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
^ Lu 18.9: And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
^ Lu 18.10: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
^ Lu 18.11: The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
^ Lu 18.12: I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
^ Lu 18.13: And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
^ Lu 18.14: I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
^ Lu 18.15: And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
^ Lu 18.16: But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
^ Lu 18.17: Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
^ Lu 18.18: And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
^ Lu 18.19: And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.
^ Lu 18.20: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
^ Lu 18.21: And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
^ Lu 18.22: Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
^ Lu 18.23: And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
^ Lu 18.24: And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
^ Lu 18.25: For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
^ Lu 18.26: And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?
^ Lu 18.27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
^ Lu 18.28: Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
^ Lu 18.29: And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
^ Lu 18.30: Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
^ Lu 18.31: Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
^ Lu 18.32: For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
^ Lu 18.33: And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
^ Lu 18.34: And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
^ Lu 18.35: And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
^ Lu 18.36: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
^ Lu 18.37: And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
^ Lu 18.38: And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
^ Lu 18.39: And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
^ Lu 18.40: And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
^ Lu 18.41: Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
^ Lu 18.42: And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
^ Lu 18.43: And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God.
