The Gospel of Luke 18

18Then he spoke a parable to them to show that it was necessary for them always to pray and not to become discouraged, 2saying, “In a certain city there was a certain judge, not fearing God and not respecting man. 3And there was a widow in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, ‘Vindicate me against my opponent.’ 4And for a time he was not willing, but after these things he said to himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God or respect man, 5yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will vindicate her, so that she will not beat me up by coming to the end.’” 6Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says. 7And will not God do the vindication of his elect, the ones crying out to him day and night, and he delays long over them? 8I say to you that he will do the vindication of them quickly. Nevertheless, the Son of Man having come, will he indeed find faith on the earth?”

9Then he also spoke this parable to some of the ones having become confident in themselves that they were righteous and disdaining others: 10“Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee, standing, was praying these things about himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men—robbers, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week. I tithe all that I acquire.’ 13But the tax collector, standing at a distance, did not even want to lift up his eyes toward heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, have mercy on me, the sinner.’ 14I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one. For everyone exalting himself will be humbled, but the one humbling himself will be exalted.”

15And they were bringing even the infants to him so that he might touch them, but the disciples, having seen it, were rebuking them. 16But Jesus summoned them, saying, “Permit the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. For of such is the kingdom of God. 17Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a child will certainly not enter into it.”

18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, doing what will I inherit eternal life?” 19But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God. 20You know the commandments—do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not testify falsely, honor your father and mother.” 21But he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.” 22But Jesus, hearing, said to him, “One thing is still lacking to you. Sell everything, as much as you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come, follow me.” 23But he, hearing these things, became deeply grieved, for he was very rich. 24Then Jesus, having looked at him,[fn] said, “How difficultly do the ones having riches enter into the kingdom of God! 25For it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.” 26Then the ones having heard said, “And who is able to be saved?” 27But he said, “The impossible with men is possible with God.” 28Then Peter said, “Behold, we left everything[fn] and followed you.” 29So he said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left a house or a wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30who will by no means not receive much more in this time, and in the age that is coming, eternal life.”

31Then having taken the Twelve aside, he said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. 32For he will be given over to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked, and will be mistreated, and will be spit on. 33And having whipped him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.” 34And they understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things being spoken.

35And it happened that, as he came near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the road begging. 36And hearing a crowd going by, he was asking what this might be. 37And they reported to him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.” 38And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” 39And the ones walking ahead were rebuking him so that he would be silent. But he was crying out much more, “Son of David, have mercy on me.” 40Then having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. Then when he had come near, he asked him, 41“What do you desire that I might do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I might see again.” 42And Jesus said to him, “See again. Your faith has saved you.” 43And immediately he saw again, and he was following him, glorifying God. And all the people, seeing this, gave praise to God.


Scholars are divided whether the phrase: [he] became deeply grieved should be included here. Compare verse 23.
