1 Гл҃аше же и҆ при́тчꙋ къ ни̑мъ, ка́кѡ подоба́етъ всегда̀ моли́тисѧ и҆ не стꙋжа́ти (сѝ),
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 гл҃ѧ: сꙋдїѧ̀ бѣ̀ нѣ́кїй въ нѣ́коемъ гра́дѣ, бг҃а не боѧ́сѧ и҆ человѣ̑къ не срамлѧ́ѧсѧ.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 Вдова́ же нѣ́каѧ бѣ̀ во гра́дѣ то́мъ: и҆ прихожда́ше къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лющи: ѿмстѝ менє̀ ѿ сопе́рника моегѡ̀.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 И҆ не хотѧ́ше на до́лзѣ вре́мени. Послѣди́ же речѐ въ себѣ̀: а҆́ще и҆ бг҃а не бою́сѧ, и҆ человѣ̑къ не срамлѧ́юсѧ:
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 но занѐ твори́тъ мѝ трꙋды̀ вдови́ца сїѧ̀, ѿмщꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀: да не до конца̀ приходѧ́щи застои́тъ менѐ.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: слы́шите, что̀ сꙋдїѧ̀ непра́вды глаго́летъ;
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 бг҃ъ же не и҆́мать ли сотвори́ти ѿмще́нїе и҆збра́нныхъ свои́хъ, вопїю́щихъ къ немꙋ̀ де́нь и҆ но́щь, и҆ долготерпѧ̀ ѡ҆ ни́хъ;
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́тъ ѿмще́нїе и҆́хъ вско́рѣ: ѻ҆ба́че сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй прише́дъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ ли (сѝ) вѣ́рꙋ на землѝ;
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Рече́ же и҆ ко дрꙋги̑мъ ᲂу҆пова́ющымъ собо́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ сꙋ́ть пра́вєдницы, и҆ ᲂу҆ничижа́ющымъ про́чихъ, при́тчꙋ сїю̀:
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 человѣ̑ка два̀ внидо́ста въ це́рковь помоли́тисѧ: є҆ди́нъ фарїсе́й, а҆ дрꙋгі́й мыта́рь.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 Фарїсе́й же ста́въ, си́це въ себѣ̀ молѧ́шесѧ: бж҃е, хвалꙋ̀ тебѣ̀ воздаю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́смь ꙗ҆́коже про́чїи человѣ́цы, хи̑щницы, непра́вєдницы, прелюбодѣ́є, и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́коже се́й мыта́рь:
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 пощꙋ́сѧ двакра́ты въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ, десѧти́нꙋ даю̀ всегѡ̀ є҆ли́кѡ притѧжꙋ̀.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Мыта́рь же и҆здале́ча стоѧ̀, не хотѧ́ше ни ѻ҆́чїю возвестѝ на не́бо: но бїѧ́ше пє́рси своѧ̑, глаго́лѧ: бж҃е, млⷭ҇тивъ бꙋ́ди мнѣ̀ грѣ́шникꙋ.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 Гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сни́де се́й ѡ҆правда́нъ въ до́мъ сво́й па́че ѻ҆́нагѡ: ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́къ возносѧ́йсѧ смири́тсѧ, смирѧ́ѧй же себѐ вознесе́тсѧ.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Приноша́хꙋ же къ немꙋ̀ и҆ младе́нцы, да и҆́хъ ко́снетсѧ: ви́дѣвше же ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ запрети́ша и҆̀мъ.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 І҆и҃съ же призва́въ и҆̀хъ, гл҃а: ѡ҆ста́вите дѣте́й приходи́ти ко мнѣ̀ и҆ не брани́те и҆̀мъ: таковы́хъ бо є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе:
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 а҆ми́нь бо гл҃ю ва́мъ: и҆́же а҆́ще не прїи́метъ црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆троча̀, не и҆́мать вни́ти въ нѐ.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 И҆ вопросѝ є҆го̀ нѣ́кїй кнѧ́зь, глаго́лѧ: ᲂу҆чт҃лю бл҃гі́й, что̀ сотвори́въ, живо́тъ вѣ́чный наслѣ́дствꙋю;
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: что́ мѧ глаго́леши бл҃га; никто́же бл҃гъ, то́кмѡ є҆ди́нъ бг҃ъ:
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 за́пѡвѣди вѣ́си: не прелюбы̀ творѝ, не ᲂу҆бі́й, не ᲂу҆кра́ди, не лжесвидѣ́тельствꙋй, чтѝ ѻ҆тца̀ твоего̀ и҆ ма́терь твою̀.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
21 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ сохрани́хъ ѿ ю҆́ности моеѧ̀.
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 Слы́шавъ же сїѧ̑ і҆и҃съ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: є҆щѐ є҆ди́нагѡ не доконча́лъ є҆сѝ: всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆́маши, прода́ждь и҆ разда́й ни́щымъ: и҆ и҆мѣ́ти и҆́маши сокро́вище на нб҃сѝ: и҆ грѧдѝ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀.
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 Ѻ҆́нъ же слы́шавъ сїѐ, приско́рбенъ бы́сть: бѣ́ бо бога́тъ ѕѣлѡ̀.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 Ви́дѣвъ же є҆го̀ і҆и҃съ приско́рбна бы́вша, речѐ: ка́кѡ не ᲂу҆до́бь и҆мꙋ́щїи бога́тство въ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе вни́дꙋтъ:
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 ᲂу҆до́бѣе бо є҆́сть вельбꙋ́дꙋ сквозѣ̀ и҆глинѣ̑ ᲂу҆́шы проитѝ, не́же бога́тꙋ въ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе вни́ти.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 Рѣ́ша же слы́шавшїи: то̀ кто̀ мо́жетъ сп҃се́нъ бы́ти;
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: невозмѡ́жнаѧ ᲂу҆ человѣ̑къ возмѡ́жна сꙋ́ть ᲂу҆ бг҃а.
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Рече́ же пе́тръ: сѐ, мы̀ ѡ҆ста́вихомъ всѧ̑ и҆ по тебѣ̀ и҆до́хомъ.
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никто́же є҆́сть, и҆́же ѡ҆ста́витъ до́мъ, и҆лѝ роди́тєли, и҆лѝ бра́тїю, и҆лѝ сєстры̀, и҆лѝ женꙋ̀, и҆лѝ ча́да, црⷭ҇твїѧ ра́ди бж҃їѧ,
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
30 и҆́же не прїи́метъ мно́жицею во вре́мѧ сїѐ, и҆ въ вѣ́къ грѧдꙋ́щїй живо́тъ вѣ́чный.
30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
31 Пое́мь же ѻ҆бана́десѧте ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: сѐ, восхо́димъ во і҆ерⷭли́мъ, и҆ сконча́ютсѧ всѧ̑ пи̑саннаѧ прⷪ҇рѡ́ки ѡ҆ сн҃ѣ чл҃вѣ́честѣ:
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 предадѧ́тъ бо є҆го̀ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ и҆ порꙋга́ютсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆корѧ́тъ є҆го̀ и҆ ѡ҆плю́ютъ є҆го̀,
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 и҆ би́вше ᲂу҆бїю́тъ є҆го̀: и҆ въ тре́тїй де́нь воскрⷭ҇нетъ.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 И҆ ті́и ничесѡ́же ѿ си́хъ разꙋмѣ́ша: и҆ бѣ̀ гл҃го́лъ се́й сокрове́нъ ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ не разꙋмѣва́хꙋ гл҃го́лемыхъ.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ прибли́жишасѧ во і҆ерїхѡ́нъ, слѣпе́цъ нѣ́кїй сѣдѧ́ше при пꙋтѝ просѧ̀:
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 слы́шавъ же наро́дъ мимоходѧ́щь, вопроша́ше: что̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́сть сѐ;
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 Повѣ́даша же є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ назарѧни́нъ мимохо́дитъ.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 И҆ возопѝ, глаго́лѧ: і҆и҃се сн҃е дв҃довъ, поми́лꙋй мѧ̀.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 И҆ пред̾идꙋ́щїи преща́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, да ᲂу҆молчи́тъ: ѻ҆́нъ же па́че мно́жае вопїѧ́ше: сн҃е дв҃довъ, поми́лꙋй мѧ̀.
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Ста́въ же і҆и҃съ повелѣ̀ привестѝ є҆го̀ къ себѣ̀. Прибли́жшꙋсѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ къ немꙋ̀, вопросѝ є҆го̀,
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 гл҃ѧ: что̀ хо́щеши, да тѝ сотворю̀; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, да прозрю̀.
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 І҆и҃съ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: прозрѝ: вѣ́ра твоѧ̀ сп҃се́ тѧ.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 И҆ а҆́бїе прозрѣ̀, и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆дѧ́ше, сла́вѧ бг҃а. И҆ всѝ лю́дїе ви́дѣвше возда́ша хвалꙋ̀ бг҃ови.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 18:1 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXV)

    The lesson of the Holy Gospel builds us up unto the duty of praying and believing, and of not putting our trust in ourselves, but in the Lord. What greater encouragement to prayer than the parable which is proposed to us of the unjust judge?

  2. Quotes verse 18:18 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters XX–XXI)

    And to the person who said to Him, "Good Master," He confessed that God who is truly good, saying, "Why callest thou Me good: there is One who is good, the Father in the heavens;" and they assert that in this passage the Æons receive the name of heavens.

  3. Quotes verse 18:10 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon VIII)

    It were well for him to imitate the Publican, and not swell as the Pharisee, "who went up into the temple," and boasted of his deserts, and covered up his wounds.

  4. Quotes verse 18:30 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XI)

    For instance, to them that strip themselves of all that they have for His sake He promised to give an hundred fold in the present world, and life eternal in that which is to come; by the things already given making the future also credible.

  5. Quotes verse 18:19 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Fourth Theological Oration, Which is the Second Concerning the Son)

    The eighth passage is, That they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou hast sent; and There is none good save one, that is, God. The solution of this appears to me very easy.
