Luke 18

dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

dicens iudex quidam erat in quadam civitate qui Deum non timebat et hominem non verebatur

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

vidua autem quaedam erat in civitate illa et veniebat ad eum dicens vindica me de adversario meo

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

et nolebat per multum tempus post haec autem dixit intra se et si Deum non timeo nec hominem revereor

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

tamen quia molesta est mihi haec vidua vindicabo illam ne in novissimo veniens suggillet me

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

ait autem Dominus audite quid iudex iniquitatis dicit

And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte et patientiam habebit in illis

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum verumtamen Filius hominis veniens putas inveniet fidem in terra

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

dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam iusti et aspernabantur ceteros parabolam istam

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent unus Pharisaeus et alter publicanus

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

Pharisaeus stans haec apud se orabat Deus gratias ago tibi quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum raptores iniusti adulteri vel ut etiam hic publicanus

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.

ieiuno bis in sabbato decimas do omnium quae possideo

I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

et publicanus a longe stans nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare sed percutiebat pectus suum dicens Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori

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.

dico vobis descendit hic iustificatus in domum suam ab illo quia omnis qui se exaltat humiliabitur et qui se humiliat exaltabitur

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.

adferebant autem ad illum et infantes ut eos tangeret quod cum viderent discipuli increpabant illos

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

Iesus autem convocans illos dixit sinite pueros venire ad me et nolite eos vetare talium est enim regnum Dei

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.

amen dico vobis quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer non intrabit in illud

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

et interrogavit eum quidam princeps dicens magister bone quid faciens vitam aeternam possidebo

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

dixit autem ei Iesus quid me dicis bonum nemo bonus nisi solus Deus

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

mandata nosti non occides non moechaberis non furtum facies non falsum testimonium dices honora patrem tuum et matrem

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.

qui ait haec omnia custodivi a iuventute mea

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

quo audito Iesus ait ei adhuc unum tibi deest omnia quaecumque habes vende et da pauperibus et habebis thesaurum in caelo et veni sequere me

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.

his ille auditis contristatus est quia dives erat valde

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

videns autem illum Iesus tristem factum dixit quam difficile qui pecunias habent in regnum Dei intrabunt

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei

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.

et dixerunt qui audiebant et quis potest salvus fieri

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

ait illis quae inpossibilia sunt apud homines possibilia sunt apud Deum

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

ait autem Petrus ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te

Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

qui dixit eis amen dico vobis nemo est qui reliquit domum aut parentes aut fratres aut uxorem aut filios propter regnum Dei

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,

et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore et in saeculo venturo vitam aeternam

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

adsumpsit autem Iesus duodecim et ait illis ecce ascendimus Hierosolyma et consummabuntur omnia quae scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis

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.

tradetur enim gentibus et inludetur et flagellabitur et conspuetur

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

et postquam flagellaverint occident eum et die tertia resurget

And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis et non intellegebant quae dicebantur

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

factum est autem cum adpropinquaret Hiericho caecus quidam sedebat secus viam mendicans

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem interrogabat quid hoc esset

And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

dixerunt autem ei quod Iesus Nazarenus transiret

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

et clamavit dicens Iesu Fili David miserere mei

And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

et qui praeibant increpabant eum ut taceret ipse vero multo magis clamabat Fili David miserere mei

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.

stans autem Iesus iussit illum adduci ad se et cum adpropinquasset interrogavit illum

And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

dicens quid tibi vis faciam at ille dixit Domine ut videam

Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

et Iesus dixit illi respice fides tua te salvum fecit

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

et confestim vidit et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum et omnis plebs ut vidit dedit laudem Deo

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
