Berean Standard Bible
And
he
spake
also
a
simile
to
them ,
that
it
behoveth
`us'
always
to pray ,
and not to
faint,
Then
Jesus
told
them a
parable
about
their
need
to pray at
all
times
and not lose
heart:
saying,
`
A certain judge
was in
a certain
city
--
God he
is
not
fearing,
and
man
he
is
not
regarding
--
“In
a certain town
there
was a judge
who
neither
feared
God nor
respected
men.
and a widow was
in that city,
and
she
was
coming
unto
him, saying,
Do
me justice on
my opponent,
And there
was
a widow in that town
who
kept
appealing
to
him, ‘Give
me justice against
my adversary.’
and
he
would
not
for a time
, but after
these
things
he said in
himself, Even
if
God
I do
not
fear ,
and
man
do
not
regard
,
For a while
he
refused
, but later
he said to
himself, ‘Though
I neither
fear God
nor
respect
men
,
yet because this widow doth
give
me trouble
, I will do
her justice ,
lest,
perpetually
coming,
she may
plague
me. '
yet because this widow keeps
pestering
me, I will give
her justice .
Then
she will
stop
wearing
me out
with
her
perpetual
requests
. ’”
And the Lord said, `Hear
ye
what
the unrighteous
judge saith:
And the Lord said, “Listen
to
the words
of
the
unjust
judge .
and
shall
not God execute
the
justice to
His choice
ones,
who are
crying
unto
Him day and night --
bearing
long
in
regard
to them
?
Will
not God bring
about
justice for
His elect
who cry
out
to
Him day and night ?
Will
He
continue
to defer
their
help
?
I say
to
you, that
He will execute
the
justice to
them
quickly;
but
the Son of Man having
come
, shall
he find the
faith upon
the
earth? '
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? ”
And
he
spake
also
unto
certain
who have
been
trusting
in themselves
that
they
were
righteous,
and have
been
despising
the
rest
, this simile
:
To
some
who trusted
in their
own
righteousness
and viewed
others
with
contempt
, He
also
told
this parable
:
`
Two men went up to the temple to pray ,
the
one a Pharisee ,
and the other a tax -gatherer;
“
Two men went up to the temple to pray .
One was
a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
the Pharisee having
stood by himself ,
thus
prayed :
God, I thank Thee
that I am not as
the rest
of
men ,
rapacious
, unrighteous
, adulterers ,
or even as
this tax -gatherer;
The Pharisee stood by himself and
prayed ,
‘
God, I thank You
that I am not like
the other
men —swindlers
, evildoers
, adulterers —
or even like
this tax collector.
I fast twice in
the
week ,
I
give
tithes of all things
--
as
many
as
I possess
.
I fast twice a
week and
pay
tithes of all that
I acquire
. ’
`And
the tax -gatherer,
having
stood afar
off
, would
not
even the
eyes
lift up to the
heaven, but
was
smiting
on
his breast ,
saying
, God be
propitious
to
me --
the
sinner!
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! ’
I say
to
you, this one
went
down
declared
righteous,
to
his
house
, rather than that
one:
for every
one
who is
exalting
himself shall
be humbled, and
he
who is
humbling
himself shall
be exalted. '
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. ”
And
they
were bringing near
also
the
babes,
that
he
may
touch
them ,
and the disciples having
seen
did
rebuke
them
,
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.
and
Jesus having
called them
near,
said, `Suffer
the little children to
come unto
me, and forbid
them
not ,
for of
such
is
the reign
of God ;
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.
verily
I say
to
you, Whoever
may
not receive the reign
of God as
a little child ,
may
not
enter into
it. '
Truly
I tell
you, anyone
who
does
not receive the kingdom
of God like
a little child will
never
enter it. ”
And
a certain ruler questioned
him, saying,
`
Good teacher, what having
done
--
shall
I inherit life age-during
? '
Then
a certain ruler asked
Him, “
Good Teacher, what must
I do
to
inherit eternal
life? ”
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
`
Why me
dost
thou
call good? no one `
is '
good ,
except One
--
God ;
“
Why do
you
call Me
good? ”
Jesus
replied.
“
No one is good except God alone.
the commands
thou
hast
known
: Thou
mayest
not commit adultery, Thou
mayest
do no
murder, Thou
mayest
not steal, Thou
mayest
not bear false witness, Honour
thy
father and thy
mother. '
You
know
the commandments
: ‘Do
not commit adultery, do not
murder, do
not steal, do
not bear false witness, honor
your
father and mother. ’”
And
he
said,
`
All these I did
keep
from my youth ;'
“
All these I have
kept
from my youth ,”
he
said.
and
having
heard
these
things
, Jesus said
to
him, `Yet
one thing to
thee
is
lacking;
all
things
--
as
many
as
thou
hast
--
sell ,
and distribute
to the poor, and thou
shalt
have treasure in heaven ,
and
come, be
following
me ;'
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 .”
and
he,
having
heard these
things
, became very sorrowful
, for
he was exceeding
rich
.
But
when
the
ruler
heard this
, he
became very sad
, because
he was extremely
wealthy
.
And
Jesus
having
seen
him
become
very
sorrowful
, said, `
How hardly
shall
those
having
riches
enter into
the reign
of God!
Seeing
the
man’s
sadness
, Jesus
said, “
How hard
it
is
for
the
rich
to
enter the kingdom
of God!
for
it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to
enter,
than for a rich man into
the reign
of God to
enter
. '
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. ”
And
those who heard ,
said
, `And
who is
able
to
be saved? '
Those who heard this
asked
, “
Who then
can
be saved? ”
and
he
said, `The
things
impossible with men
are
possible with God. '
But
Jesus
said, “What
is
impossible with man
is
possible with God. ”
And
Peter
said
, `Lo
, we left all ,
and
did
follow thee;'
“Look
, ”
said
Peter
, “
we have
left all we
had
to
follow You.”
and
he
said
to
them,
`Verily
I say
to
you, that
there
is
not
one who left house,
or parents,
or brothers ,
or wife,
or children ,
for the sake of the reign
of God ,
“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
who
may
not
receive back
manifold
more in this time,
and in the coming
age, life age-during
. '
will
fail
to
receive many
times
more in this age—
and in the age to
come
, eternal
life. ”
And
having
taken
the twelve aside ,
he
said unto
them, `Lo
, we go
up to Jerusalem, and all
things
shall
be
completed
--
that
have
been
written
through
the prophets --
to
the Son of Man ,
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.
for
he shall
be delivered up
to the nations,
and shall
be mocked ,
and insulted ,
and spit upon ,
He will
be delivered over
to the Gentiles
and will
be mocked and insulted and spit upon .
and
having
scourged
they shall
put
him to
death
, and on the third day he shall
rise again. '
They will
flog
Him and
kill
Him
, and on the third day He will
rise again. ”
And
they
none
of these things understood,
and
this
saying
was hid
from them, and they were
not knowing
the
things
said
.
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
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
in
his
coming
nigh
to Jericho, a certain
blind man was sitting beside the way
begging
,
As
Jesus
drew
near
to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road
, begging.
and
having
heard a
multitude
going by, he was
inquiring
what this
may
be,
When
he
heard the
crowd
going by, he asked
what was
happening.
and
they
brought
him
word
that
Jesus the
Nazarene
doth
pass
by,
“
Jesus of
Nazareth
is
passing
by, ”
they
told
him.
and
he cried
out, saying,
`
Jesus, Son of David, deal
kindly
with
me ;'
So
he called
out, “
Jesus, Son of David, have
mercy
on
me !”
and
those going
before
were
rebuking
him ,
that
he
might
be silent, but he was
much
more
crying
out, `
Son of David, deal
kindly
with
me .'
Those who
led
the
way
admonished
him to
be silent, but he cried
out all
the
louder
, “
Son of David, have
mercy
on
me !”
And
Jesus having
stood,
commanded
him
to
be brought unto
him ,
and
he having
come
nigh
, he
questioned
him,
Jesus stopped
and
directed
that
the
man
be brought to
Him .
When
he had
been
brought
near
, Jesus
asked
him,
saying,
`
What wilt
thou
I
shall
do to thee
? '
and
he said, `Sir,
that
I
may
receive
sight
. '
“
What do you
want
Me
to do
for
you
? ”
“Lord,”
he said, “let
me
see
again
. ”
And
Jesus
said
to
him,
`
Receive thy
sight ;
thy
faith hath
saved
thee;'
“
Receive your
sight !”
Jesus
replied.
“Your
faith has
healed
you.”
and
presently
he did
receive
sight ,
and was
following
him
, glorifying God ;
and all the people ,
having
seen,
did
give
praise to God.
Immediately
he received
his
sight and followed
Jesus
, glorifying God .
And all the people who
saw
this
gave
praise to God.
