1Legate ⸀de parabolan autoi pros tem darō pantote proseuchorō ⸀autoin kai mē enkakarō,Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart: 2legarōntos; Kritos tinos ate en tina pola ton theon mē foborōntos kai anthrōpon mē entraporōntos.“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men. 3chēras de ate en ta pola ekeina kai erchote pros auton legarōntas; Ekdikasar min apo tou antidikou mu.And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ 4kai ouk ⸀thelate epi chronon, meta ⸂houteim de⸃ legata en heauto; Ei kai ton theon ouk fobomō ⸂oude anthrōpon⸃ entrapomō,For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men, 5dia ge tem parecharō mi kopon tan chēran houtan ekdikami autan hina mē eis telem erchorōntas hupōpiazateiō min.yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’” 6legata de tos kurios; Akouavar tinem tos kritos tau adikiau legatō;And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge. 7tos de theos ouk mē poiateia tan ekdikēsian toiu eklektoiu autou toiu boarōntoiu ⸀auto hēmerau kai nuktau, kai ⸀makrothumatō epi autoi?Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them? 8legamō vi hoti poiati tan ekdikēsian autoiu en tache. plēn tos huios tou anthrōpou ercharantos ara heuriskati tan pistian epi tau gēau?I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9Legata de ⸀kai pros tinoin toin peitharēntoin epi heautoi hoti alō dikaiois kai exouthenarōntoin toin loipoin tan parabolan houtan;To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable: 10Anthrōpois duo anabainala eis tem hierem proseuchera, ⸀tos henos Farisaios kai tos heteros telōnos.“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11tos Farisaios stēirantos ⸂pros heauton houteim⸃ proseuchote; Tos theor, eucharistamō si hoti ouk amō ⸀hōsper tois loipois toiu anthrōpoiu, harpagois, adikois, moichois, ē kai hōs houtos tos telōnos;The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men — swindlers, evildoers, adulterers — or even like this tax collector. 12nēsteuamō dis teu sabbateu, ⸀apodekatamō panteim hoseim ktomō.I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’ 13⸂tos de⸃ telōnos makrothen stēarēntos ouk thelate oude toin ofthalmoin ⸂eparara eis ton ouranon,⸃ alla ⸀tuptate tem stēthem ⸀autou legarōntos; Tos theor, hilaskisar mi to hamartōlo.But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ 14legamō vi, katabainata houtos dikaiorēntos eis ton oikon autou ⸂para ekeinon;⸃ hoti pantos tos hupsarōntos heauton tapeiniti, tos de tapeinarōntos heauton hupsiti.I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15Prosferale de auto kai teim brefeim hina auteiu haptoteiō; horarantois de tois mathētois ⸀epitimale autoi.Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them. 16tos de Iēsus ⸂proskaleta auteim legarōntos;⸃ Afiēkavar teim paidieim erchorō pros min kai mē kōluavōr auteim, teiu gar toiouteiu atō tas basileias tou theou.But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17amēn legamō vi, hos ⸀an mē decheteia tan basileian tou theou hōs paidiem, ouk mē eiserchateia eis autan.Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18Kai eperōtata tinos auton archontos legarōntos; Didaskalor agathor, tinem poiarantos zōan aiōnian klēronomami?Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19legata de auto tos Iēsus; Tinem min legasō agathon? oudenos agathos ei mē henos tos theos.“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone. 20tain entolain oidasē; Mē moicheuaseia, Mē foneuaseia, Mē kleptaseia, Mē pseudomarturaseia, Timasōr ton patron su kai tan ⸀mētēran.You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’” 21tos de legata; Houteim panteim ⸀fulassama ek neotau ⸀mu.“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said. 22akouarantos ⸀de tos Iēsus legata auto; Ēti henem si leipatō; panteim hoseim echasō pōlasar kai diadōasar ptōchoi, kai echasi thēsauron en ⸀ouranoi, kai deuro akolouthasōr mi.On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.” 23tos de akouarantos houteim perilupos ⸀genita, ate gar plousios sfodra.But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy. 24Horarantos de auton tos ⸀Iēsus legata; Pōs duskolōs tois teim chrēmeim echarōntois ⸂eis tan basileian tou theou eisporeuolō;⸃Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25eukopoterem gar atō kamēlan dia ⸂trēmeu belonau⸃ eiserchara ē plousion eis tan basileian tou theou eiserchara.Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26Legala de tois akouarantois; Kai tinos dunotō sōzira?Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?” 27tos de legata; Teim adunateim para anthrōpoi dunateim ⸂para to theo atō.⸃But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28Legata de ⸀tos Petros; Idou nis ⸂afiēkarantois teim idieim⸃ akolouthana si.“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.” 29tos de legata autoi; Amēn legamō vi hoti oudenos atō hos afiēkata oikian ē ⸂gunaikan ē adelfoin ē gonevoin⸃ ē tekneim heneken tau basileiau tou theou,“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30hos ⸀ouchi mē ⸀apolabateia pollaplasiōneim en to kairo houto kai en to aiōno to erchorōnto zōan aiōnian.will fail to receive many times more in this age — and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31Paralabarantos de toin dōdeka legata pros autoin; Idou anabainanō eis ⸀Ierousalēm, kai teliti panteim teim graforēnteim dia toiu profētoiu to huio tou anthrōpou;Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32paradōiti gar tei ethnei kai empaiziti kai hubriziti kai emptuiti,He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33kai mastigarantois apoktenali auton, kai ta hēmera ta trita anastēeti.They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.” 34kai autois oudenem houteiu suniēkala, kai ate tem rēmem houtem kruptorēntem apo autoiu, kai ouk gnōskale teim legorōnteim.But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35Geneta de en te engizarō auton eis Ierichō tuflos tinos kathote para tan hodan ⸀epaitarōntos.As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging. 36akouarantos de ochlou diaporeuorōntou punthanote ⸀tinem atoiō houtem;When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37apangelala de auto hoti Iēsus tos Nazōraios parerchotō.“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him. 38kai boata legarōntos; Iēsur huior David, elēasar min.So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39kai tois proagarōntois epitimale auto hina ⸀sigateia; autos de polle mallon krazate; Huior David, elēasar min.Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40stēirantos de ⸀tos Iēsus keleuata auton agira pros auton. engizarantou de autou eperōtata auton;Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him, 41⸀Tinem si thelasō poiameia? tos de legata; Kurior, hina anablepameia.“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.” 42kai tos Iēsus legata auto; Anablepasar; tas pistias su sōzatē sin.“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.” 43kai parachrēma anablepata, kai akolouthate auto doxazarōntos ton theon. kai pantos tos laos horarantos dōata ainon to theo.Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
