1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men

ℵBA ⟨they⟩

ought always to pray, and not to faint;

1 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,

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

2 dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.

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

3 Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo.

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

4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:

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

5 tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me.

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

6 Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit:

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

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

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

8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?

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

9 ¶ Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam:

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

10 Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent: unus pharisæus et alter publicanus.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself

ℵ* omit

, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

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

12 jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo.

13 And

ℵB ⟨But⟩

the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God

ℵ* omit

be merciful to me a sinner.

13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.

14 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.

14 Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.

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

15 ¶ Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.

16 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.

16 Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos: talium est enim regnum Dei.

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

17 Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.

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

18 ¶ Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo?

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

19 Dixit autem ei Jesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy

BA omit

mother.

20 Mandata nosti: non occides; non mœchaberis; non furtum facies; non falsum testimonium dices; honora patrem tuum et matrem.

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

21 Qui ait: Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea.

22 Now when Jesus heard these things

ℵB omit

, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou

ℵ* ⟨Thou lackest⟩

one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

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 And when he heard this

ℵ ⟨all these things⟩

, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

23 His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde.

24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful

ℵB ⟨him⟩

, he said, How hardly shall

B ⟨do⟩

they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

24 Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!

25 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.

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

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

26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?

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

27 Ait illis: Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.

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

28 Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife

ℵB ⟨house, or wife, or brethren, or parents⟩

, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

29 Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,

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

30 et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam.

31 ¶ 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.

31 ¶ Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:

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

32 tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:

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

33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.

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

34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur.

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

35 ¶ Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.

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

36 Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.

37 And they told him

ℵ* omit

, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

37 Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus,

A omit

thou son of David, have mercy on me.

38 Et clamavit, dicens: Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.

39 And they which went before

A ⟨by⟩

rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou

ℵ ⟨Jesus thou⟩

son of David, have mercy on me.

39 Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David, miserere mei.

40 And Jesus

A ⟨he⟩

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

40 Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,

41 Saying,

ℵB omit

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

41 dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine, ut videam.

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

42 Et Jesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.

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

43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
