Light Giver 18

1 And he was speaking a comparison to themselves toward the Necessity at all times for themselves to offer prayers, and not grow weary.

ἐντρέπω - to invert, turn in

2 He who is saying, "A judge, a certain one, was within a city, a certain one, he who is not afraid of the God and he who is not inverted by man.
3 And a widow was being within the City, that one, and she was coming toward himself, she who is saying, "Avenge myself away from the Adversary of myself!"

Passive

4 And he was not wanting upon a chronological time. But beyond these ones he said within his own self, Even if the God I am not fearing nor being inverted by a man,
5 For this very reason of the Providing of toil/beating to myself by the Widow, this one, I will avenge herself so that she who is coming into end-aim does not strike myself under the eye.
6 And the Master said, Hear what the Judge of the Injustice is speaking!
7 And should the God never make the Vengeance of the Selected Ones of himself, of the ones who are shouting out to himself of day and of night and he is being long-tempered of anger upon themselves?
8 I am saying to yourselves that he will make the Vengeance of themselves within speed, yet nevertheless the Son of the Man, he who has come, will he really find the Trust upon the Earth?"
9 And he also spoke toward any of the ones who have been persuaded upon their own selves that they are being just ones, and those who are treating with contempt the Remaining Ones, the Comparison, this one:
10 "Two men they climbed up into the Holy Place to offer prayers. The one a Separatist, and the Other One, the Tax Farmer.

Praying to his own self: the Tax Farmer

11 The Separatist, he who has stood ready, these things toward his own self he was praying,⁶⁶ 'The God, I am thankful to yourself that I am not like the Remaining Ones of the Men, rapacious ones, unjust ones, adulterers, nor also like this one, the Tax Farmer!
12 I fast twice of the Cessation ("Sabbath"), I give a tenth of all things, as much as I am acquiring.

"I strike myself below the eye"

13 And the Tax Farmer, he who has stood ready from far off, was not wanting to lift up even the eyes into the Heavenly One, but rather he was striking the Chest of himself, he who is saying, 'The God be reconciled to myself, the Misser!⁶⁷
14 I am saying to yourselves, this one climbed down, he who has been acquitted, into the Household of Himself close beside that one!⁶⁸ For everyone who is exalting high his own self will be humiliated, and the one who is humiliating his own self— he will be exalted high!"

Those who perceived

15 And they were offering to himself the Infants, so that he might fasten to themselves. And those who perceived, the Learners, they were bestowing honor to themselves.

The Queen, Myself

16 And the Salvation invited themselves, he who is saying, "Send off the Little Children, to come toward myself, and do not stop these ones, for of such is the Queen of the God!

Mother of Life

17 Amen, I am saying to yourselves, whosoever does not welcome the Queen of the God just like a little child should never enter into herself!
18 And a certain one asked himself, a ruler who is saying, "Teacher, good one, he who has made what, will I inherit a zoe-life everlasting?"
19 And the Salvation said to himself, "Why are you calling myself good? No one is good if not one, the God.
20 You have seen the Commandments. Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not you steal, do not testify falsely, honor the Father of yourself, and the Mother.
21 And the one said, "I have watched over all these ones from out of a youth.
22 And he who has heard, the Salvation, he said to himself, "Still one thing is lacking to yourself. Sell everything, as much as you are holding on to, and hand across to cowering ones, and you will hold a treasure-storehouse within the Heavenly Ones, and come here, accompany myself!"
23 And the one who has heard these things became sorrowful all around, for he was an exceedingly rich one.
24 And he who has perceived himself, the Salvation, said, "How poorly docked the ones who are holding the Valuables are entering into the Queen of the God!⁶⁹

Pierced

25 It is easier for a camel to enter across through a perforation of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Queen of the God!"
26 And the ones who have heard said, "And who is able to be saved?"
27 And the one said, "The powerless ones close beside men are mighty ones close beside the God!"
28 And the Small Stone said, "Behold! Ourselves, those who have hurled away their own, have accompanied yourself!"

πολλαπλασίων - Multiplicative

29 And the one said to themselves, "Amen, I am speaking to yourselves that there is no one who has hurled away a house or woman or brothers or begetters or children for the sake of the Queen of the God,
30 who should not receive multiple times more within the Opportune Time, this one, and within the Eternal One, the one who is coming, a zoe-life everlasting!
31 And he who has taken in the Twelve said toward themselves, "Behold! we are climbing up into Foundation of Peace ("Jerusalem") and all that has been written/drawn will be completed across through the Prophets to the Son of the Man!"

ἔθνεσιν ethnesin - To the Ethne, Swarms, Flocks

32 For he will be delivered over to the Groups of People ("Ethne"), and he will be mocked, and he will be treated outrageously, and he will be spat upon.
33 And those who have scourged will kill off himself, and on the Day, the Third One, he will stand up."
34 And they, themselves understood nothing of these things. And the Saying, this one, was that which has been concealed away from themselves, and they were not recognizing the things that are being said.

ἐπαιτέω asking Besides, For More

35 And he became within the Drawing Himself Near into Fragrance of Himself ("Jericho"), a smoke-blind one who was sitting close beside the Road, he who is asking again and again.
36 And he who heard a multitude of him who is passing through was inquiring who this one might be.
37 And they announced to himself that Salvation the Sproutling ("Nazareth") is passing beside.
38 And he cried aloud, he who is saying, "Salvation! Son of Beloved ("David")!! Have mercy on myself!!"
40 And he who has stood ready, the Salvation, ordered himself to be led toward himself, and of him who has drawn near of himself, he asked himself,
41 "Who do you desire I make to yourself?" And the one said, "Master! so that I might look up!"

Look up and Count the Stars

42 And the Salvation said to himself, "Look up! The Trust of yourself, she has saved yourself!"

αἶνος = story, tale

43 And immediately he looked up and he was accompanying himself, he who is glorifying the God. And all the People, he who has perceived, gave a story to the God.
