Parables on Prayer

Luk 18:1

Luk 18:1And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Luk 18:2

Luk 18:2Saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, neither regarded man.

Luk 18:3

Luk 18:3And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.

Luk 18:4

Luk 18:4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

Luk 18:5

Luk 18:5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Luk 18:6

Luk 18:6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

Luk 18:7

Luk 18:7And will not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night to him, though he beareth long with them?

Luk 18:8

Luk 18:8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?

The Pharisee and the Publican

Luk 18:9

Luk 18:9And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Luk 18:10

Luk 18:10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

Luk 18:11

Luk 18:11The 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.

Luk 18:12

Luk 18:12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Luk 18:13

Luk 18:13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Luk 18:14

Luk 18:14I 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.
