Luke 18 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Parables on Prayer

Luk 18:1And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth us always to pray, and not to faint,

Luk 18:2saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city -- God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding --

Luk 18:3and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

Luk 18:4and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

Luk 18:5

Luk 18:5yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'

Luk 18:6

Luk 18:6And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:

Luk 18:7

Luk 18:7and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?

Luk 18:8

Luk 18:8I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'

The Pharisee and the Publican

Luk 18:9

Luk 18:9And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:

Luk 18:10

Luk 18:10'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;

Luk 18:11

Luk 18:11the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

Luk 18:12

Luk 18:12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess.

Luk 18:13

Luk 18:13'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me -- the sinner!

Luk 18:14

Luk 18:14I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

(Mat 19:13–15; Mar 10:13–16 )

Luk 18:15

Luk 18:15And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,

Luk 18:16

Luk 18:16and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

Luk 18:17

Luk 18:17verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'

Luk 18:30

Luk 18:30who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.'

Luk 18:33

Luk 18:33and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
