1 Ἔλεγεν δὲ παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ μὴ ἐγκακεῖν, 2 λέγων: κριτής τις ἦν ἔν τινι πόλει τὸν θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος. 3 χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα: ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου. 4 καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν ἐπὶ χρόνον: μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ: εἰ καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι οὐδὲ ἄνθρωπον ἐντρέπομαι, 5 διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην, ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑπωπιάζῃ με. 6 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος, ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει: 7 ὁ δὲ θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν βοώντων αὐτῷ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμεῖ ἐπ' αὐτοῖς; 8 λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. πλὴν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς; | 1 And he told them a parable, shewing them that they ought to pray continually, and never be discouraged. 2 There was a city once, he said, in which lived a judge who had no fear of God, no regard for man; 3 and there was a widow in this city who used to come before him and say, Give me redress against one who wrongs me. 4 For a time he refused; but then he said to himself, Fear of God I have none, nor regard for man, 5 but this widow wearies me; I will give her redress, or she will wear me down at last with her visits. 6 Listen, the Lord said, to the words of the unjust judge, 7 and tell me, will not God give redress to his elect, when they are crying out to him, day and night? Will he not be impatient with their wrongs? 8 I tell you, he will give them redress with all speed. But ah, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith left on the earth? | 1 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere, 2 dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur. 3 Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo. 4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor: 5 tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me. 6 Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit: 7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis? 8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra? |
9 Εἶπεν δὲ καὶ πρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφ' ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶν δίκαιοι καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντας τοὺς λοιποὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην: 10 Ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ εἷς Φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης. 11 ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο: ὁ θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης: 12 νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι. 13 ὁ δὲ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπᾶραι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἀλλ' ἔτυπτεν τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων: ὁ θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ. 14 λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ παρ' ἐκεῖνον: ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται. | 9 There were some who had confidence in themselves, thinking they had won acceptance with God, and despised the rest of the world; to them he addressed this other parable: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood upright, and made this prayer in his heart, I thank thee, God, that I am not like the rest of men, who steal and cheat and commit adultery, or like this publican here; 12 for myself, I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican stood far off; he would not even lift up his eyes towards heaven; he only beat his breast, and said, God, be merciful to me; I am a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went back home higher in God’s favour than the other; everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and the man who humbles himself shall be exalted. | 9 Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam: 10 Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent: unus pharisæus et alter publicanus. 11 Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat: Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus: 12 jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo. 13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori. 14 Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur. |
15 Προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τὰ βρέφη ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται: ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμων αὐτοῖς. 16 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσεκαλέσατο αὐτὰ λέγων: ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά: τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ. 17 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν. 18 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησέν τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων: διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω; 19 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς: τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός. 20 τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας: μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα. 21 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: ταῦτα πάντα ἐφύλαξα ἐκ νεότητος. 22 ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ: ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει: πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι. 23 ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ἐγενήθη, ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα. 24 ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς περίλυπον γενόμενον εἶπεν: πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσπορεύονται: 25 εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ τρήματος βελόνης εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν. 26 εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες: καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι; 27 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ἐστιν. | 15 Then they brought little children to him, asking him to touch them. The disciples saw them and rebuked them for it: 16 but Jesus called the children to him, and said, Let them be, do not keep them back from me; the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Believe me, the man who does not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will never enter into it. 18 And one of the rulers asked him, Master, who art so good, what must I do to win eternal life? 19 Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good, except God only. 20 Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.[1] 21 I have kept all these, he said, ever since I grew up. 22 When he heard that, Jesus said, In one thing thou art still wanting; sell all that belongs to thee, and give to the poor; so the treasure thou hast shall be in heaven; then come back and follow me.[2] 23 The answer filled him with sadness, for he was very rich; 24 and Jesus, seeing his mournful look, said, With what difficulty will those who have riches enter God’s kingdom! 25 It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye, than for a man to enter the kingdom of God when he is rich. 26 But when he was asked by those who were listening to him, Why then, who can be saved? 27 he told them, What is impossible to man’s powers is possible to God. | 15 Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos. 16 Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos: talium est enim regnum Dei. 17 Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud. 18 Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo? 19 Dixit autem ei Jesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus. 20 Mandata nosti: non occides; non mœchaberis; non furtum facies; non falsum testimonium dices; honora patrem tuum et matrem. 21 Qui ait: Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea. 22 Quo audito, Jesus ait ei: Adhuc unum tibi deest: omnia quæcumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo: et veni, sequere me. 23 His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde. 24 Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt! 25 facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei. 26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri? 27 Ait illis: Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum. |
28 Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος: ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφέντες τὰ ἴδια ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι. 29 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς: ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ γυναῖκα ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ γονεῖς ἢ τέκνα ἕνεκεν τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ, 30 ὃς οὐχὶ μὴ ἀπολάβῃ πολλαπλασίονα ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ, καὶ ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. | 28 Hereupon Peter said, And what of us? we have forsaken all that was ours, and followed thee. 29 Jesus said to them, I promise you, everyone who has forsaken home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 will receive, in this present world, many times their worth, and in the world to come, everlasting life.[3] | 28 Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te. 29 Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei, 30 et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam. |
31 Παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς: ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ καὶ τελεσθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου: 32 παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται, 33 καὶ μαστιγώσαντες ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστήσεται. 34 καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπ' αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα. | 31 Then he took the twelve apostles aside, and warned them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all that has been written by the prophets about the Son of Man is to be accomplished. 32 He will be given up to the Gentiles, and mocked, and beaten, and spat upon; 33 they will scourge him, and then they will kill him; but on the third day he will rise again.[4] 34 They could make nothing of all this; his meaning was hidden from them, so that they could not understand what he said. | 31 Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis: 32 tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur: 33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget. 34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur. |
35 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰεριχὼ τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἐπαιτῶν. 36 ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη τοῦτο: 37 ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται. 38 καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων: Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με. 39 καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα σιγήσῃ: αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν: υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με. 40 σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν: 41 τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω. 42 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ: ἀνάβλεψον: ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε. 43 καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψεν, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ δοξάζων τὸν θεόν. καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῷ θεῷ. | 35 When he came near Jericho, there was a blind man sitting there by the way-side begging. 36 And he, hearing a multitude passing by, asked what it meant; 37 so they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was going past. 38 Whereupon he cried out, Jesus, son of David, have pity on me. 39 Those who were in front rebuked him, and told him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have pity on me. 40 Then Jesus stopped, and gave orders that the man should be brought to him; and when he came close, he asked him, 41 What wouldst thou have me do for thee? Lord, he said, give me back my sight. 42 Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight; thy faith has brought thee recovery. 43 And at once the man recovered his sight, and followed him, glorifying God; all the people, too, gave praise to God at seeing it.[5] | 35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans. 36 Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset. 37 Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret. 38 Et clamavit, dicens: Jesu, fili David, miserere mei. 39 Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David, miserere mei. 40 Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum, 41 dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine, ut videam. 42 Et Jesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit. 43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo. |

[5] vv. 35-43: Mt. 20.29; Mk. 10.46. It would appear that St Luke, in speaking of our Lord as drawing near Jericho, is only giving a vague indication of where the miracle took place, since the other Evangelists tell us that he met the blind man when he was leaving the city. It may be, however, that there is some confusion between the old city of Jericho, and that built by Herod the Great about two miles away.
