Luke 18 (WEBP)

[1] He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
[2] saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
[3] A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
[4] He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
[5] yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’ ”
[6] The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
[7] Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
[8] I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
[9] He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
[10] “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
[11] The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
[12] I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
[13] But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
[14] I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
[15] They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
[16] Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
[17] Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
[18] A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
[19] Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
[20] You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
[21] He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
[22] When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
[23] But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
[24] Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
[25] For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
[26] Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
[27] But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
[28] Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
[29] He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
[30] who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
[31] He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
[32] For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
[33] They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
[34] They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
[35] As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
[36] Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
[37] They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
[38] He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
[39] Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
[40] Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
[41] “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
[42] Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
[43] Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

King James w/Strong’s #s

Luke 18 (KJVS)

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