17 And de he said legō to pros · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, “ It is eimi inevitable anendektos that ho occasions ho for stumbling skandalon will come erchomai, but plēn woe ouai to the one through dia whom hos they come erchomai! ² It is better lysiteleō for him autos if ei a millstone lithos mylikos is hung perikeimai around peri · ho his autos neck trachēlos and kai he is cast rhiptō into eis the ho sea thalassa than ē that hina he should cause skandalizō one heis of ho these houtos little mikros ones to stumble .

³ “ Be on your heautou guard prosechō! If ean your sy brother adelphos sins hamartanō, · ho rebuke epitimaō him autos, and kai if ean he repents metanoeō, forgive aphiēmi him autos. ⁴ And kai if ean he sins hamartanō against eis you sy seven heptakis times in ho a day hēmera, and kai seven heptakis times returns epistrephō to pros you sy saying legō, ‘ I repent metanoeō,’ you must forgive aphiēmi him autos.”

⁵ · kai The ho apostles apostolos said legō to the ho Lord kyrios, “ Increase prostithēmi our hēmeis faith pistis!” ⁶ And de the ho Lord kyrios said legō, “ If ei you had echō faith pistis like hōs a grain kokkos of mustard sinapi seed , you could an say legō to ho this houtos sycamore sykaminos, ‘ Be uprooted ekrizoō and kai planted phyteuō in en the ho sea thalassa,’ and kai it would an obey hypakouō you hymeis. ⁷ Which tis one · de of ek you hymeis, having echō a servant plowing arotriaō or ē tending poimainō sheep , who hos, when he comes eiserchomai in from ek the ho field agros, will say legō to him autos, ‘ Come here parerchomai at once eutheōs and recline anapiptō at dinner ’? ⁸ Will he not ouchi, rather alla, say legō to him autos, ‘ Prepare hetoimazō what tis I am to eat deipneō, then kai change perizōnnymi clothes and wait diakoneō on me egō while heōs I eat esthiō and kai drink pinō, and kai after meta this houtos you sy may eat esthiō and kai drink pinō’? ⁹ Does he express echō thanks charis to the ho servant because hoti he did poieō the ho things that were commanded diatassō? ¹⁰ So houtōs · kai it is with you hymeis. When hotan you have done poieō all pas that ho was commanded diatassō, say legō, ‘ We are eimi unworthy achreios servants; we have done poieō no more than hos we were obliged opheilō to do poieō.’”

¹¹ · kai As en · ho Jesus was on his way poreuō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, · kai he autos passed dierchomai through dia the region between mesos Samaria Samareia and kai Galilee Galilaia. ¹² · kai As he autos entered eiserchomai a certain tis village kōmē, ten deka men anēr with leprosy lepros met apantaō him autos, who hos normally stood histēmi at a distance porrōthen. ¹³ · kai They autos raised airō their voices phōnē, saying legō, “ Jesus Iēsous, Master epistatēs, have mercy eleeō on us hēmeis!” ¹⁴ · kai When he saw them, he said legō to them autos, “ Go poreuō and show epideiknymi yourselves heautou to the ho priests hiereus.” And kai as en · ho they autos went hypagō they were made clean katharizō. ¹⁵ Then de one heis of ek them autos, when he saw that hoti he had been healed iaomai, returned hypostrephō, praising doxazō God theos in meta a loud megas voice phōnē, · ho ¹⁶ and kai fell piptō on epi his face prosōpon at para · ho Jesus’ autos feet pous, giving eucharisteō him autos thanks— and kai he autos was eimi a Samaritan Samaritēs. ¹⁷ Then de Jesus Iēsous responded apokrinomai, · ho saying legō, “ Were not ouchi · ho ten deka made clean katharizō? The ho · de other nine ennea, where pou are they? ¹⁸ Were they not ou found heuriskō, so as to return hypostrephō and give didōmi praise doxa to ho God theos, except ei mē · ho this houtos foreigner allogenēs?” ¹⁹ Then kai he said legō to the man autos, “ Get anistēmi up and go poreuō; · ho your sy faith pistis has made sōzō you sy well .”

²⁰ Having been asked eperōtaō · de by hypo the ho Pharisees Pharisaios when pote the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos would come erchomai, he answered apokrinomai them autos, · kai saying legō, “ The ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos will not ou come erchomai with meta observation paratērēsis. ²¹ Nor oude will they say legō, ‘ Look idou, here hōde it is!’ or ē, ‘ There ekei it is!’ For gar behold idou, the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos is eimi in the midst entos of you hymeis.”

²² And de he said legō to pros the ho disciples mathētēs, “ Days hēmera are coming erchomai when hote you will desire epithumeō to see one heis of the ho days hēmera of the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos, and kai you will not ou see horaō it. ²³ And kai they will say legō to you hymeis, ‘ Look idou, there ekei!’ or ē, ‘ Look idou, here hōde!’ Do not mē go out aperchomai or mēde pursue diōkō them. ²⁴ For gar just as hōsper the ho lightning astrapē, when it flashes astraptō, lights up lampō from ek one ho end hypo of ho heaven ouranos to eis the ho other hypo ouranos, so houtōs will be eimi the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos in en · ho his autos day hēmera. ²⁵ But de first prōton he autos must dei suffer paschō many polys things and kai be rejected apodokimazō by apo · ho this houtos generation genea. ²⁶ And kai just kathōs as it was ginomai in en the ho days hēmera of Noah Nōe, so houtōs also kai will it be eimi in en the ho days hēmera of the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos. ²⁷ They were eating esthiō, they were drinking pinō, they were marrying gameō, they were being given gamizō in marriage , until achri the day hēmera in which hos Noah Nōe went eiserchomai into eis the ho ark kibōtos and kai the ho flood kataklysmos came erchomai and kai destroyed apollymi them all pas. ²⁸ Likewise homoiōs, just kathōs as it was ginomai in en the ho days hēmera of Lot Lōt: they were eating esthiō, they were drinking pinō, they were buying agorazō, they were selling pōleō, they were planting phyteuō, they were building oikodomeō; ²⁹ but de on the day hēmera in which hos Lot Lōt went exerchomai out of apo Sodom Sodoma, fire pyr and kai sulfur theion rained brechō down from apo heaven ouranos and kai destroyed apollymi them all pas. ³⁰ It will be eimi just like this kata · ho on hos the day hēmera the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is revealed apokalyptō.

³¹ “ On en that ekeinos · ho day hēmera the one who hos is eimi on epi the ho housetop dōma, and kai · ho his autos belongings skeuos are in en the ho house oikia, must not mē go katabainō down to get airō them autos, and kai likewise homoiōs the ho one who is in en the field agros must not mē turn epistrephō back eis ho. · ho ³² Remember mnēmoneuō · ho Lot’ s Lōt wife gynē. ³³ Whoever hos ean tries zēteō to retain · ho his autos life psychē for himself peripoieō will lose apollymi it autos, and de whoever hos loses apollymi his life will preserve zōiogoneō it autos. ³⁴ I tell legō you hymeis, on that houtos · ho night nyx there will be eimi two dyo in epi one heis bed klinē; · ho one heis will be taken paralambanō and kai the ho other heteros left aphiēmi behind . ³⁵ There will be eimi two dyo women grinding alēthō at epi the ho mill together autos; · ho one heis will be taken paralambanō and de the ho other heteros left aphiēmi behind .” ³⁷ Then kai the disciples said legō to him autos in response apokrinomai, “ Where pou, Lord kyrios?” And de he ho said legō to them autos, “ Where hopou the ho corpse sōma is, there ekei also kai the ho vultures aetos will be gathered episynagō.”

18 Then de Jesus told legō them autos a parable parabolē to pros the ho effect that they autos should dei continue to pray proseuchomai at all pantote times and kai never mē give up. ² He said legō, “ There was eimi a certain tis judge kritēs in en a certain tis city polis who phobeomai neither mē feared phobeomai · ho God theos · kai nor mē had entrepō any regard for entrepō people anthrōpos. ³ There was eimi a widow chēra · de in en · ho that ekeinos city polis, and kai she kept coming erchomai to pros him autos, saying legō, ‘ Vindicate ekdikeō me egō against apo · ho my egō adversary antidikos.’ ⁴ · kai He didn’ t ou want thelō to for epi a time chronos. But de later meta on houtos he said legō to en himself heautou, ‘ Though ei · kai I phobeomai neither ou fear phobeomai · ho God theos nor oude have regard for entrepō people anthrōpos, ⁵ yet ge because dia · ho this houtos widow chēra keeps parechō bothering kopos me egō, · ho I will vindicate ekdikeō her autos, so hina that by her coming erchomai she will not mē ultimately eis telos wear hypōpiazō me egō out .’” ⁶ And de the ho Lord kyrios said legō, “ Hear akouō what tis the ho unrighteous adikia judge kritēs · ho says legō. ⁷ Will not · ho · de God theos certainly ou vindicate poieō · ho · ho his autos elect eklektos, who ho cry boaō to him autos day hēmera and kai night nyx, and kai have patience makrothumeō with epi them autos? ⁸ I tell legō you hymeis, he will vindicate poieō · ho them autos without delay en; but plēn will the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos, when he comes erchomai, find heuriskō · ho faith pistis on epi · ho earth gē?”

⁹ He also de told legō · kai this houtos parable parabolē to pros some tis who ho were confident peithō in epi themselves heautou, because hoti they were eimi righteous dikaios, and kai treated exoutheneō · ho others loipos with contempt. · ho ¹⁰ “ Two dyo men anthrōpos went anabainō up into eis the ho temple hieron to pray proseuchomai, the ho one heis a Pharisee Pharisaios and kai the ho other heteros a tax telōnēs collector . ¹¹ The ho Pharisee Pharisaios stood histēmi and prayed proseuchomai like this houtos to pros himself heautou: · ho ‘ God theos, I thank eucharisteō you sy that hoti I am eimi not ou like hōsper the ho rest loipos of ho mankind anthrōpos— swindlers harpax, rogues adikos, adulterers moichos, or ē even kai like hōs this houtos · ho tax telōnēs collector . ¹² I fast nēsteuō twice dis a ho week sabbaton; I tithe apodekatoō all pas that hosos I get ktaomai.’ ¹³ The ho tax telōnēs collector , however de, standing histēmi at a distance makrothen, would thelō not ou even oude raise epairō his ho eyes ophthalmos to eis · ho heaven ouranos, but alla kept beating typtō · ho his autos breast stēthos, saying legō, · ho ‘ God theos, be merciful hilaskomai to me egō, a ho sinner hamartōlos!’ ¹⁴ I tell legō you hymeis, this man houtos went katabainō down to eis his autos house oikos upright dikaioō in the sight of God, · ho rather para than the other ekeinos. For hoti everyone pas who ho exalts hypsoō himself heautou will be humbled tapeinoō, and de the ho one who humbles tapeinoō himself heautou will be exalted hypsoō.”

¹⁵ Now de people were bringing prospherō to him autos even kai · ho little brephos ones so hina he would touch haptō them autos. However de, when the ho disciples mathētēs saw it, they began to rebuke epitimaō them autos. ¹⁶ · ho But de Jesus Iēsous called proskaleō them autos to him, saying legō, “ Let aphiēmi the ho children paidion come erchomai to pros me egō, and kai do not mē stop kōlyō them autos, for gar it is eimi to ho such toioutos as these that eimi the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos belongs eimi. ¹⁷ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, whoever hos an does not mē receive dechomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos like hōs a child paidion shall certainly never ou enter eiserchomai it autos.”

¹⁸ Now kai a certain tis ruler archōn asked eperōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Good agathos Teacher didaskalos, what tis must I do poieō to inherit klēronomeō eternal aiōnios life zōē?” ¹⁹ And de Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “ Why tis do you call legō me egō good agathos? No oudeis one is good agathos except ei mē one heis— · ho God theos. ²⁰ You know oida the ho commandments entolē: ‘ You shall not mē commit moicheuō adultery ; You shall not mē murder phoneuō; You shall not mē steal kleptō; You shall not mē bear pseudomartyreō false witness ; Honor timaō · ho your sy father patēr and kai · ho mother mētēr.’ ²¹ The ho · de man replied legō, “ All pas these houtos I have kept phylassō since ek my youth neotēs.” ²² Upon hearing akouō this, · de · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, “ One heis thing you sy still eti lack leipō: sell pōleō all pas that hosos you have echō and kai distribute diadidōmi the proceeds to the poor ptōchos, and kai you will have echō treasure thēsauros in en · ho heaven ouranos. Then kai come deuro, follow akoloutheō me egō.” ²³ But de when he ho heard akouō this houtos, he became ginomai very perilypos sad , for gar he was eimi extremely sphodra wealthy plousios. ²⁴ Jesus Iēsous looked at · de him autos, · ho becoming ginomai very perilypos sad , and said legō, “ How pōs difficult dyskolōs it is for those ho who have echō · ho wealth chrēma to enter eisporeuomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos! ²⁵ In fact gar, it is eimi easier eukopos for a camel kamēlos to go eiserchomai through dia the eye trēma of a needle belonē than ē for a rich plousios man to enter eiserchomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos!” ²⁶ Those ho who heard akouō it said legō, · de “ Who tis, then kai, can dynamai be saved sōzō?” ²⁷ Jesus ho · de said legō, “ What ho is impossible adynatos for para mortal anthrōpos beings is eimi possible dynatos for para · ho God theos.” ²⁸ Then de Peter Petros said legō, · ho “ Look idou, we hēmeis have left aphiēmi what ho was ours idios and followed akoloutheō you sy.” ²⁹ Then de Jesus ho said legō to them autos, “ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, there is eimi no oudeis one who hos has left aphiēmi home oikia or ē wife gynē or ē siblings adelphos or ē parents goneus or ē children teknon, for the sake of the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos ³⁰ who hos will not ouchi mē receive apolambanō many pollaplasiōn times as much in en · ho this houtos age kairos and kai, in en the ho age aiōn to ho come erchomai, eternal aiōnios life zōē.”

³¹ Taking paralambanō · de the ho twelve dōdeka aside, he said legō to pros them autos, “ See idou, we are going anabainō up to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, and kai everything pas · ho written graphō by dia the ho prophets prophētēs regarding the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos will be carried out teleō. ³² For gar he will be handed paradidōmi over to the ho Gentiles ethnos and kai will be ridiculed empaizō and kai ill-treated hybrizō and kai spat emptyō on . ³³ Then kai after scourging mastigoō him, they will kill apokteinō him autos, but kai on the ho third tritos day hēmera · ho he will arise anistēmi again .” ³⁴ But kai the twelve autos understood syniēmi none oudeis of these houtos things ; in fact kai, what ho he houtos said rhēma was eimi kept hidden kryptō from apo them autos and kai they did not ou grasp ginōskō what ho was being said legō.

³⁵ · de As en Jesus autos drew engizō near to eis Jericho Ierichō, there was a tis blind typhlos man sitting kathēmai by para the ho roadside hodos, asking epaiteō for alms. ³⁶ When he heard akouō · de a crowd ochlos going diaporeuomai by , he inquired pynthanomai what tis this houtos might be eimi. ³⁷ They told apangellō · de him autos that hoti Jesus Iēsous of ho Nazareth Nazōraios was passing parerchomai by . ³⁸ So kai he called boaō out , saying legō, “ Jesus Iēsous, Son hyios of David Dauid, have mercy eleeō on me egō!” ³⁹ · kai Those ho who were leading proagō the way began to rebuke epitimaō him autos that hina he should be quiet sigaō; but de he autos cried out krazō all polys the more mallon, “ Son hyios of David Dauid, have mercy eleeō on me egō!” ⁴⁰ Jesus Iēsous stopped histēmi · de · ho and ordered keleuō the beggar autos to be brought agō to pros him autos. When the man autos had come engizō near , · de Jesus asked eperōtaō him autos, ⁴¹ “ What tis do you want thelō me to do poieō for you sy?” He ho · de said legō, “ Lord kyrios, that hina I might see anablepō again .” ⁴² · kai · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, “ See anablepō again ! · ho Your sy faith pistis has saved sōzō you sy.” ⁴³ And kai immediately parachrēma he could see anablepō again , and kai began to follow akoloutheō Jesus autos, giving glory doxazō to · ho God theos. And kai all pas the ho people laos, when they saw this, gave didōmi praise ainos to ho God theos.
