18:1  dicebat autem et parabolam ad          1.  And he spake a parable unto them to
illos quoniam oportet semper orare et        this end, that men ought always to
non deficere                                 pray, and not to faint;

18:2  dicens iudex quidam erat in            2.  Saying, There was in a city a
quadam civitate qui Deum non timebat et      judge, which feared not God, neither
hominem non verebatur                        regarded man:

18:3  vidua autem quaedam erat in            3.  And there was a widow in that city;
civitate illa et veniebat ad eum dicens      and she came unto him, saying, Avenge
vindica me de adversario meo                 me of mine adversary.

18:4  et nolebat per multum tempus post      4.  And he would not for a while: but
haec autem dixit intra se et si Deum         afterward he said within himself,
non timeo nec hominem revereor               Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

18:5  tamen quia molesta est mihi haec       5.  Yet because this widow troubleth
vidua vindicabo illam ne in novissimo        me, I will avenge her, lest by her
veniens suggillet me                         continual coming she weary me.

18:6  ait autem Dominus audite quid          6.  And the Lord said, Hear what the
iudex iniquitatis dicit                      unjust judge saith.

18:7  Deus autem non faciet vindictam        7.  And shall not God avenge his own
electorum suorum clamantium ad se die        elect, which cry day and night unto
ac nocte et patientiam habebit in illis      him, though he bear long with them?

18:8  dico vobis quia cito faciet            8.  I tell you that he will avenge them
vindictam illorum verumtamen Filius          speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of
hominis veniens putas inveniet fidem in      man cometh, shall he find faith on the
terra                                        earth?

18:9  dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in       9.  And he spake this parable unto
se confidebant tamquam iusti et              certain which trusted in themselves
aspernabantur ceteros parabolam istam        that they were righteous, and despised
                                             others:

18:10  duo homines ascenderunt in            10.  Two men went up into the temple to
templum ut orarent unus Pharisaeus et        pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other
alter publicanus                             a publican.

18:11  Pharisaeus stans haec apud se         11.  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus
orabat Deus gratias ago tibi quia non        with himself, God, I thank thee, that I
sum sicut ceteri hominum raptores            am not as other men are, extortioners,
iniusti adulteri vel ut etiam hic            unjust, adulterers, or even as this
publicanus                                   publican.

18:12  ieiuno bis in sabbato decimas do      12.  I fast twice in the week, I give
omnium quae possideo                         tithes of all that I possess.

18:13  et publicanus a longe stans           13.  And the publican, standing afar
nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare sed      off, would not lift up so much as his
percutiebat pectus suum dicens Deus          eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his
propitius esto mihi peccatori                breast, saying, God be merciful to me a
                                             sinner.

18:14  dico vobis descendit hic              14.  I tell you, this man went down to
iustificatus in domum suam ab illo quia      his house justified rather than the
omnis qui se exaltat humiliabitur et         other: for every one that exalteth
qui se humiliat exaltabitur                  himself shall be abased; and he that
                                             humbleth himself shall be exalted.

18:15  adferebant autem ad illum et          15.  And they brought unto him also
infantes ut eos tangeret quod cum            infants, that he would touch them: but
viderent discipuli increpabant illos         when his disciples saw it, they rebuked
                                             them.

18:16  Iesus autem convocans illos           16.  But Jesus called them unto him,
dixit sinite pueros venire ad me et          and said, Suffer little children to
nolite eos vetare talium est enim            come unto me, and forbid them not: for
regnum Dei                                   of such is the kingdom of God.

18:17  amen dico vobis quicumque non         17.  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer non          shall not receive the kingdom of God as
intrabit in illud                            a little child shall in no wise enter
                                             therein.

18:18  et interrogavit eum quidam            18.  And a certain ruler asked him,
princeps dicens magister bone quid           saying, Good Master, what shall I do to
faciens vitam aeternam possidebo             inherit eternal life?

18:19  dixit autem ei Iesus quid me          19.  And Jesus said unto him, Why
dicis bonum nemo bonus nisi solus Deus       callest thou me good? none is good,
                                             save one, that is, God.

18:20  mandata nosti non occides non         20.  Thou knowest the commandments, Do
moechaberis non furtum facies non            not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do
falsum testimonium dices honora patrem       not steal, Do not bear false witness,
tuum et matrem                               Honour thy father and thy mother.

18:21  qui ait haec omnia custodivi a        21.  And he said, All these have I kept
iuventute mea                                from my youth up.

18:22  quo audito Iesus ait ei adhuc         22.  Now when Jesus heard these things,
unum tibi deest omnia quaecumque habes       he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one
vende et da pauperibus et habebis            thing: sell all that thou hast, and
thesaurum in caelo et veni sequere me        distribute unto the poor, and thou
                                             shalt have treasure in heaven: and
                                             come, follow me.

18:23  his ille auditis contristatus         23.  And when he heard this, he was
est quia dives erat valde                    very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

18:24  videns autem illum Iesus tristem      24.  And when Jesus saw that he was
factum dixit quam difficile qui              very sorrowful, he said, How hardly
pecunias habent in regnum Dei intrabunt      shall they that have riches enter into
                                             the kingdom of God!

18:25  facilius est enim camelum per         25.  For it is easier for a camel to go
foramen acus transire quam divitem           through a needle's eye, than for a rich
intrare in regnum Dei                        man to enter into the kingdom of God.

18:26  et dixerunt qui audiebant et          26.  And they that heard it said, Who
quis potest salvus fieri                     then can be saved?

18:27  ait illis quae inpossibilia sunt      27.  And he said, The things which are
apud homines possibilia sunt apud Deum       impossible with men are possible with
                                             God.

18:28  ait autem Petrus ecce nos             28.  Then Peter said, Lo, we have left
dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te           all, and followed thee.

18:29  qui dixit eis amen dico vobis         29.  And he said unto them, Verily I
nemo est qui reliquit domum aut              say unto you, There is no man that hath
parentes aut fratres aut uxorem aut          left house, or parents, or brethren, or
filios propter regnum Dei                    wife, or children, for the kingdom of
                                             God's sake,

18:30  et non recipiat multo plura in        30.  Who shall not receive manifold
hoc tempore et in saeculo venturo vitam      more in this present time, and in the
aeternam                                     world to come life everlasting.

18:31  adsumpsit autem Iesus duodecim        31.  Then he took unto him the twelve,
et ait illis ecce ascendimus                 and said unto them, Behold, we go up to
Hierosolyma et consummabuntur omnia          Jerusalem, and all things that are
quae scripta sunt per prophetas de           written by the prophets concerning the
Filio hominis                                Son of man shall be accomplished.

18:32  tradetur enim gentibus et             32.  For he shall be delivered unto the
inludetur et flagellabitur et conspuetur     Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and
                                             spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

18:33  et postquam flagellaverint            33.  And they shall scourge him, and
occident eum et die tertia resurget          put him to death: and the third day he
                                             shall rise again.

18:34  et ipsi nihil horum                   34.  And they understood none of these
intellexerunt et erat verbum istud           things: and this saying was hid from
absconditum ab eis et non intellegebant      them, neither knew they the things
quae dicebantur                              which were spoken.

18:35  factum est autem cum                  35.  And it came to pass, that as he
adpropinquaret Hiericho caecus quidam        was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain
sedebat secus viam mendicans                 blind man sat by the way side begging:

18:36  et cum audiret turbam                 36.  And hearing the multitude pass by,
praetereuntem interrogabat quid hoc          he asked what it meant.
esset

18:37  dixerunt autem ei quod Iesus          37.  And they told him, that Jesus of
Nazarenus transiret                          Nazareth passeth by.

18:38  et clamavit dicens Iesu Fili          38.  And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou
David miserere mei                           son of David, have mercy on me.

18:39  et qui praeibant increpabant eum      39.  And they which went before rebuked
ut taceret ipse vero multo magis             him, that he should hold his peace: but
clamabat Fili David miserere mei             he cried so much the more, Thou son of
                                             David, have mercy on me.

18:40  stans autem Iesus iussit illum        40.  And Jesus stood, and commanded him
adduci ad se et cum adpropinquasset          to be brought unto him: and when he was
interrogavit illum                           come near, he asked him,

18:41  dicens quid tibi vis faciam at        41.  Saying, What wilt thou that I
ille dixit Domine ut videam                  shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord,
                                             that I may receive my sight.

18:42  et Iesus dixit illi respice           42.  And Jesus said unto him, Receive
fides tua te salvum fecit                    thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

18:43  et confestim vidit et sequebatur      43.  And immediately he received his
illum magnificans Deum et omnis plebs        sight, and followed him, glorifying
ut vidit dedit laudem Deo                    God: and all the people, when they saw
                                             it, gave praise unto God.
