taken, and the other shall be left.
[35] Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and
the other left.
[36] Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[37] And they
answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither
will the eagles be gathered together.
Luke.18
[1] And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
[2]
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
[3] And there was a
widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
[4] And he would not
for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
[5] Yet because
this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
[6] And the Lord
said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
[7] And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and
night unto him, though he bear long with them?
[8] I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
[9] And he spake this parable unto certain
which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
[10] Two men went up into
the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
[11] 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.
[12] I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
[13] 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.
[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.
[15]
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they
rebuked them.
[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.
[17] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive
the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
[18] And a certain ruler asked him,
saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
[19] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest
thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
[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 mother.
[21]
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
[22] 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.
[23] And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for
he was very rich.
[24] And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they
that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
[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.
[26] And they that heard it said, Who then can
be saved?
[27] And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
[28] Then
Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
[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, or children, for the kingdom of
God's sake,
[30] Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life
everlasting.
[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.
[32]
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted
on:
[33] And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
[34] And
they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things
which were spoken.
[35] And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind
man sat by the way side begging:
[36] And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
[37]
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
[38] And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David,
have mercy on me.
[39] 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.
[40] And Jesus stood, and commanded
him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
[41] Saying, What wilt thou that
I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
[42] And Jesus said unto him, Receive
thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
[43] And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying
God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
