And he spake
a parable
unto them
to this end , that men ought
always
to pray
, and
not
to faint
;
Saying, There was
in
a
city
a
judge
, which feared
not
God
, neither
regarded
man
:
And there was
a widow
in
that
city
; and
she came
unto
him
, saying
, Avenge
me
of
mine
adversary
.
And he would
not
for
a while
: but
afterward
he said
within
himself
, Though
I fear
not
God
, nor
regard
man
;
Yet because
this
widow
troubleth
me
, I will avenge
her
, lest
by
her continual
coming
she weary
me
.
And the Lord
said
, Hear
what
the unjust
judge
saith
.
And shall
not
God
avenge
his own
elect
, which
cry
day
and
night
unto
him
, though
he bear long
with
them
?
I tell you
that
he will
avenge
them
speedily
. Nevertheless
when
the Son
of man
cometh
, shall he find
faith
on
the earth
?
And he spake
this
parable
unto
certain
which
trusted
in
themselves
that
they were
righteous
, and
despised
others
:
Two men
went up
into
the temple
to pray
; the one
a Pharisee
, and
the other
a publican
.
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
.
I fast twice
in the week
, I give tithes
of all
that
I possess
.
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
.
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
.
And they brought
unto him
also
infants
, that
he would touch
them
: but
when his disciples
saw
it , they rebuked
them
.
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
.
Verily I say
unto you
, Whosoever
shall
not
receive
the kingdom
of God
as
a little child
shall
in no wise
enter
therein
.
And a certain
ruler
asked
him
, saying
, Good
Master
, what
shall I do
to inherit
eternal
life
?
And Jesus
said
unto him
, Why
callest thou
me
good
? none
is good
, save
one
, that is , God
.
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
.
And he said
, All
these
have I kept
from
my
youth
up.
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
.
And when he heard
this
, he was
very sorrowful
: for
he was
very
rich
.
And when Jesus
saw
that he
was
very sorrowful
, he said
, How
hardly
shall they
that have
riches
enter
into
the kingdom
of God
!
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
.
And they that heard
it said
, Who
then
can be
saved
?
And he said
, The things which are impossible
with
men
are
possible
with
God
.
Then Peter
said
, Lo
, we
have left
all
, and
followed
thee
.
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
,
Who shall
not
receive
manifold more
in
this
present time
, and
in
the world
to come
life
everlasting
.
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
.
For he shall be delivered
unto the Gentiles
, and
shall be mocked
, and
spitefully entreated
, and
spitted on
:
And they shall scourge
him , and put
him
to death
: and
the third
day
he shall rise again
.
And they
understood
none
of these things
: and
this
saying
was
hid
from
them
,
neither
knew they
the things which were spoken
.
And it came to pass
, that as
he
was come nigh
unto
Jericho
, a certain
blind man
sat
by
the way side
begging
:
And hearing
the multitude
pass by
, he asked
what
it
meant
.
And they told
him
, that
Jesus
of Nazareth
passeth by
.
And he cried
, saying
, Jesus
, thou Son
of David
, have mercy
on me
.
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
.
And Jesus
stood
, and commanded
him
to be brought
unto
him
: and
when he
was come near
, he asked
him
,
Saying, What
wilt thou
that I shall do
unto thee
? And
he said
, Lord
, that
I may receive my sight
.
And Jesus
said
unto him
, Receive thy sight
: thy
faith
hath saved
thee
.
And immediately
he received his sight
, and
followed
him
, glorifying
God
: and
all
the people
, when they saw
it , gave
praise
unto God
.
