18:1And He told them a parable to the end that they ought always to pray and not lose heart, Compare
18:2Saying, There was a certain judge in a certain city who did not fear God and did not regard man. Compare
18:3And there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent. Compare
18:4And for a time he would not; but afterward he said within himself, Even though I do not fear God nor regard man, Compare
18:5Yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, lest by continually coming she wear me out. Compare
18:6And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge says. Compare
18:7And will not God by all means carry out the avenging of His chosen ones, who cry to Him day and night, though He is long-suffering over them? Compare
18:8I tell you that He will carry out their avenging quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? Compare
18:9And He told this parable also to certain ones who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised the rest: Compare
18:10Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. Compare
18:11The Pharisee stood and prayed these things to himself: God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men-extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. Compare
18:12I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all that I get. Compare
18:13But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be propitiated to me, the sinner! Compare
18:14I tell you, This man went down to his house justified rather than that one; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted. Compare
18:15And they were bringing to Him also their babies that He might touch them. But when the disciples saw this they rebuked them. Compare
18:16But Jesus called them to Him, saying, Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God. Compare
18:17Truly I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child shall by no means enter into it. Compare
18:18And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Compare
18:19But Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One-God. Compare
18:20You know the commandments: "Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother." Compare
18:21And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth. Compare
18:22And hearing this, Jesus said to him, Still you lack one thing: all that you have, sell and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come, follow Me. Compare
18:23But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich. Compare
18:24And Jesus, seeing that he became very sorrowful, said, How difficult it is for those who have riches to go into the kingdom of God. Compare
18:25For it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Compare
18:26And those who heard said, Then who can be saved? Compare
18:27But He said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God. Compare
18:28And Peter said, Behold, we have left our own things and have followed You. Compare
18:29And He said to them, Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, Compare
18:30Who shall not by all means receive back many times as much in this time, and in the coming age, eternal life. Compare
