| 1 | Then He spoke to them a parable, in reference to the necessity for them always to pray and not to falter, |
| 2 | saying: "There was a certain judge in some city who feared not Yahweh and respected not man. |
| 3 | And there was a widow in that city and she began saying to him 'Exact vengeance for me from my opponent.' |
| 4 | Yet for a time he desired it not. But afterwards he said to himself, 'Even if I do not fear Yahweh, nor do I respect man, |
| 5 | indeed on account of this widow causing me trouble I shall avenge her, lest in result of her coming she wears me out.'" |
| 6 | Then said the Prince "Hear what the unrighteous judge says! |
| 7 | Now would Yahweh not at all bring about vengeance for His elect, those who are crying out to Him day and night, and have forbearance with them? |
| 8 | I say to you that He shall bring about vengeance for them with haste! But coming then shall the Son of Man find faith upon the earth?" |
| 9 | Then He also spoke to some of those who are persuaded by themselves, that they are righteous and are despisers of everyone else, this parable: |
| 10 | "Two men were going up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax-collector. |
| 11 | The Pharisee stood praying these things to himself: 'Yahweh, I give thanks to you that I am not as the rest of men, robbers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-collector. |
| 12 | I fast twice each week, I give a tenth of all of whatever I should gain.' |
| 13 | But the tax-collector stood afar off not having desire to nor raising his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast saying 'Yahweh, make propitiation for me, a wrongdoer!' |
| 14 | I say to you, he going down to his house is justified beyond the other, because everyone who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he humbling himself shall be exalted." |
| 15 | Then they also brought to Him the infants in order that He hold them, but seeing it the students admonished them. |
| 16 | But Yahshua called out to them saying "Let the children come to Me and do not prevent them, for of such as these is the Kingdom of Yahweh. |
| 17 | Truly I say to you: Whoever does not accept the Kingdom of Yahweh as a child by no means may enter into it!" |
| 18 | And one of the leaders questioned Him saying "Good Teacher, what should I do that I may inherit eternal life?" |
| 19 | And Yahshua said to him "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except one, Yahweh. |
| 20 | Know the commandments: You should not commit adultery, you should not murder, you should not steal, you should not testify falsely, honor your father and mother." |
| 21 | Then he said "All these things I have kept from youth!" |
| 22 | And hearing it Yahshua said to him: "Then one thing is left for you: All whatever you have, sell and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in the heavens. Then come, follow Me." |
| 23 | But hearing these things he had become very grieved, for he was exceedingly wealthy. |
| 24 | Then seeing him Yahshua said: "How difficultly those having riches enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh! |
| 25 | Indeed 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 Yahweh." |
| 26 | And those listening said "Then who is able to be saved?" |
| 27 | So He said "Things impossible with men are possible with Yahweh!" |
| 28 | Then Petros said "Look, we leaving our own things have followed you!" |
| 29 | And He said to them: "Truly I say to you, that there is no one who has left a house or wife or brother or parents or children because of the Kingdom of Yahweh |
| 30 | who would by no means recover many times more in this time, and eternal life in the age which is coming!" |
| 31 | Then taking aside the twelve He said to them, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets for the Son of Man shall be completed. |
| 32 | For He shall be handed over to the heathens, and mocked and abused and spat upon |
| 33 | and being scourged they shall slay Him, and in the third day He shall be resurrected." |
| 34 | Yet they understood not one of these things, and this saying was hidden from them and they did not discern the things being spoken. |
| 35 | Then it happened upon His coming near to Iericho, a certain blind man sat by the road begging. |
| 36 | And hearing the crowd passing through he inquired what this could be. |
| 37 | So they announced to him that "Yahshua the Nazoraian is passing by." |
| 38 | And he yelled saying "Yahshua Son of David, have mercy on me!" |
| 39 | Then those leading the way admonished him, that he should be silent. But by much more he cried out "Son of David, have mercy on me!" |
| 40 | So Yahshua stopping commanded that he be brought to Him, then approaching him He inquired of him: |
| 41 | "What do you wish that I should do for you?" And he said "Prince, that I may see again!" |
| 42 | And Yahshua said to him "See again! Your faith has preserved you!" |
| 43 | And immediately his sight recovered and he followed Him, extolling Yahweh. And all the people seeing gave praise to Yahweh. |
