¹And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,

²Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.

³And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.

⁴And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,

⁵Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.

⁶And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.

⁷Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?

⁸I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?

⁹He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.

¹⁰Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.

¹¹The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.

¹²I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.

¹³But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.

¹⁴I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.

¹⁵They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.

¹⁶But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.

¹⁷Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.

¹⁸Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life?

¹⁹And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.

²⁰Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.

²¹And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.

²²Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.

²³But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.

²⁴And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!

²⁵Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.

²⁶Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?

²⁷And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.

²⁸Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.

²⁹And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,

³⁰Which shall not receiue much more in this world, and in the world to come life euerlasting.

³¹Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.

³²For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.

³³And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.

³⁴But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.

³⁵And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.

³⁶And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.

³⁷And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.

³⁸Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.

³⁹And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.

⁴⁰And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,

⁴¹Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.

⁴²And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.

⁴³Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.

Luke 18

¹And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

²Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

³And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

⁴And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

⁵Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

⁷And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

⁸I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

⁹And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

¹⁰Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

¹¹The 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.

¹²I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

¹³And 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.

¹⁴I 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.

¹⁵And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

¹⁶But 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.

¹⁷Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁸And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

¹⁹And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

²⁰Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

²¹And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

²²Now 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.

²³And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

²⁴And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁵For 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.

²⁶And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

²⁷And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

²⁸Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

²⁹And 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,

³⁰Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

³¹Then 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.

³²For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

³³And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁴And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

³⁵And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

³⁶And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

³⁷And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

³⁸And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

³⁹And 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.

⁴⁰And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

⁴¹Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

⁴²And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

⁴³And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
