1And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;studyinterlinear
2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:studyinterlinear
3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.studyinterlinear
4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;studyinterlinear
5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.studyinterlinear
6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.studyinterlinear
7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?studyinterlinear
8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?studyinterlinear
9And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:studyinterlinear
10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
15And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
17Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.studyinterlinear
18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?studyinterlinear
19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
21And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
23And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.studyinterlinear
24And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
26And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?studyinterlinear
27And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.studyinterlinear
28Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.studyinterlinear
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,studyinterlinear
30Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
32For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:studyinterlinear
33And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.studyinterlinear
34And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.studyinterlinear
35And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:studyinterlinear
36And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.studyinterlinear
37And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.studyinterlinear
38And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.studyinterlinear
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.studyinterlinear
40And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,studyinterlinear
41Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.studyinterlinear
42And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.studyinterlinear
43And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.studyinterlinear
