018:001

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man

018:002

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary

018:003

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man

018:004

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me

018:005

And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith

018:006

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them

018:007

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth

018:008

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others

018:009

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican

018:010

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

018:011

I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess

018:012

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

018:013

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

018:014

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them

018:015

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

018:016

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein

018:017

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life

018:018

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God

018:019

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

018:020

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up

018:021

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

018:022

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich

018:023

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God

018:024

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

018:025

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved

018:026

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God

018:027

Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee

018:028

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

018:029

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting

018:030

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

018:031

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on

018:032

And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again

018:033

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken

018:034

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging

018:035

And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant

018:036

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by

018:037

And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me

018:038

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

018:039

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him

018:040

Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight

018:041

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee

018:042

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God
