18:3 "And there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'
18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
18:4 "And for a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,
18:5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me our by her continual coming.

18:11 "The Pharisee stood and was praying thus to himself, 'God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax-gatherer.
18:12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
18:12 'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'
18:13 But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.
18:13 "But the tax-gatherer, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ' God, be merciful to me, the sinner! '

18:24 And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
18:25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
18:25 "For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

18:39 And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
18:39 And those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
18:40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
18:40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he had come near, He questioned him,
18:41 What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
18:41 "What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, [I want] to regain my sight!"
