PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَثَلًا فِي أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُصَلَّى كُلَّ حِينٍ وَلَا يُمَلَّ،
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
1 Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ μὴ ἐκκακεῖν,
2 قَائِلًا: «كَانَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ قَاضٍ لَا يَخَافُ ٱللهَ وَلَا يَهَابُ إِنْسَانًا.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
2 λέγων· κριτής τις ἦν ἔν τινι πόλει τὸν Θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος.
3 وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ. وَكَانَتْ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: أَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ خَصْمِي!
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
3 χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα· ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου.
4 وَكَانَ لَا يَشَاءُ إِلَى زَمَانٍ. وَلَكِنْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَخَافُ ٱللهَ وَلَا أَهَابُ إِنْسَانًا،
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
4 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐπὶ χρόνον· μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ· εἰ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι καὶ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐντρέπομαι,
5 فَإِنِّي لِأَجْلِ أَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ تُزْعِجُنِي، أُنْصِفُهَا، لِئَلَّا تَأْتِيَ دَائِمًا فَتَقْمَعَنِي!».
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
5 διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑποπιάζῃ με.
6 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُ قَاضِي ٱلظُّلْمِ.
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
6 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει·
7 أَفَلَا يُنْصِفُ ٱللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ، ٱلصَّارِخِينَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا، وَهُوَ مُتَمَهِّلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ؟
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
7 ὁ δὲ Θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν βοώντων πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμῶν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς;
8 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ يُنْصِفُهُمْ سَرِيعًا! وَلَكِنْ مَتَى جَاءَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، أَلَعَلَّهُ يَجِدُ ٱلْإِيمَانَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟».
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
8 λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. πλὴν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;
9 وَقَالَ لِقَوْمٍ وَاثِقِينَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ، وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ ٱلْآخَرِينَ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ:
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
9 Εἶπε δὲ καὶ πρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶ δίκαιοι, καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντας τοὺς λοιπούς, τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην·
10 «إِنْسَانَانِ صَعِدَا إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ لِيُصَلِّيَا، وَاحِدٌ فَرِّيسِيٌّ وَٱلْآخَرُ عَشَّارٌ.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
10 ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ εἷς Φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης.
11 أَمَّا ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّ فَوَقَفَ يُصَلِّي فِي نَفْسِهِ هَكَذَا: اَللَّهُمَّ أَنَا أَشْكُرُكَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ بَاقِي ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْخَاطِفِينَ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ ٱلزُّنَاةِ، وَلَا مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْعَشَّارِ.
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.
11 ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο· ὁ Θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης·
12 أَصُومُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي ٱلْأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُعَشِّرُ كُلَّ مَا أَقْتَنِيهِ.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
12 νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.
13 وَأَمَّا ٱلْعَشَّارُ فَوَقَفَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، لَا يَشَاءُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، بَلْ قَرَعَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ قَائِلًا: ٱللهُمَّ ٱرْحَمْنِي، أَنَا ٱلْخَاطِئَ.
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!’
13 καὶ ὁ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐπᾶραι, ἀλλ᾽ ἔτυπτεν εἰς τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων· ὁ Θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ.
14 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذَا نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مُبَرَّرًا دُونَ ذَاكَ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ يَتَّضِعُ، وَمَنْ يَضَعُ نَفْسَهُ يَرْتَفِعُ».
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.”
14 λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἢ γὰρ ἐκεῖνος· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
15 فَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيْهِ ٱلْأَطْفَالَ أَيْضًا لِيَلْمِسَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُمُ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ ٱنْتَهَرُوهُمْ.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
15 Προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τὰ βρέφη ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται· καὶ ἰδόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμησαν αὐτοῖς.
16 أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَدَعَاهُمْ وَقَالَ: «دَعُوا ٱلْأَوْلَادَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ وَلَا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ، لِأَنَّ لِمِثْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ.
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.
16 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτὰ εἶπεν· ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά· τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
17 اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ مِثْلَ وَلَدٍ فَلَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ».
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.”
17 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἐὰν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.
18 وَسَأَلَهُ رَئِيسٌ قَائِلًا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ ٱلصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لِأَرِثَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةَ؟»
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησέ τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων· διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;
19 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِمَاذَا تَدْعُونِي صَالِحًا؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحًا إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ ٱللهُ.
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
19 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός.
20 أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ ٱلْوَصَايَا: لَا تَزْنِ. لَا تَقْتُلْ. لَا تَسْرِقْ. لَا تَشْهَدْ بِٱلزُّورِ. أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ».
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.’”
20 τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας· μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου.
21 فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا حَفِظْتُهَا مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِي».
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
21 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· ταῦτα πάντα ἐφυλαξάμην ἐκ νεότητός μου.
22 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهُ: «يُعْوِزُكَ أَيْضًا شَيْءٌ: بِعْ كُلَّ مَا لَكَ وَوَزِّعْ عَلَى ٱلْفُقَرَاءِ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَتَعَالَ ٱتْبَعْنِي».
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.”
22 ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει· πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.
23 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ حَزِنَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ غَنِيًّا جِدًّا.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
23 ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ἐγένετο· ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα.
24 فَلَمَّا رَآهُ يَسُوعُ قَدْ حَزِنَ، قَالَ: «مَا أَعْسَرَ دُخُولَ ذَوِي ٱلْأَمْوَالِ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ!
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
24 ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς περίλυπον γενόμενον εἶπε· πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ!
25 لِأَنَّ دُخُولَ جَمَلٍ مِنْ ثَقْبِ إِبْرَةٍ أَيْسَرُ مِنْ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ غَنِيٌّ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ!».
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.”
25 εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστι κάμηλον διὰ τρυμαλιᾶς ῥαφίδος εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.
26 فَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا: «فَمَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ؟»
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
26 εἶπον δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες· καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;
27 فَقَالَ: «غَيْرُ ٱلْمُسْتَطَاعِ عِنْدَ ٱلنَّاسِ مُسْتَطَاعٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ».
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
27 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἐστιν.
28 فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ».
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
28 Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Πέτρος· ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι.
29 فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ تَرَكَ بَيْتًا أَوْ وَالِدَيْنِ أَوْ إِخْوَةً أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةً أَوْ أَوْلَادًا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ،
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,
29 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ γονεῖς ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ γυναῖκα ἢ τέκνα ἕνεκεν τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ,
30 إِلَّا وَيَأْخُذُ فِي هَذَا ٱلزَّمَانِ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً، وَفِي ٱلدَّهْرِ ٱلْآتِي ٱلْحَيَاةَ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةَ».
30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
30 ὃς οὐ μὴ ἀπολάβῃ πολλαπλασίονα ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
31 وَأَخَذَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَا نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسَيَتِمُّ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ عَنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ،
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.
31 Παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ τελειωθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
32 لِأَنَّهُ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهِ، وَيُشْتَمُ وَيُتْفَلُ عَلَيْهِ،
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
32 παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται,
33 وَيَجْلِدُونَهُ، وَيَقْتُلُونَهُ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ».
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
33 καὶ μαστιγώσαντες ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστήσεται.
34 وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، وَكَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ مُخْفًى عَنْهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا مَا قِيلَ.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
34 καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα.
35 وَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ مِنْ أَرِيحَا كَانَ أَعْمَى جَالِسًا علَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ يَسْتَعْطِي.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
35 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱεριχὼ τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν προσαιτῶν·
36 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْجَمْعَ مُجْتَازًا سَأَلَ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا؟».
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
36 ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη ταῦτα.
37 فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلنَّاصِرِيَّ مُجْتَازٌ.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
37 ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται.
38 فَصَرَخَ قَائِلًا: «يَا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ، ٱرْحَمْنِي!».
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
38 καὶ ἐβόησε λέγων· Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ Δαυΐδ, ἐλέησόν με·
39 فَٱنْتَهَرَهُ ٱلْمُتَقَدِّمُونَ لِيَسْكُتَ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَصَرَخَ أَكْثَرَ كَثِيرًا: «يَا ٱبْنَ دَاوُدَ، ٱرْحَمْنِي!».
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!”
39 καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα σιωπήσῃ· αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν· υἱὲ Δαυΐδ, ἐλέησόν με.
40 فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ. وَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ سَأَلَهُ
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
40 σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων·
41 قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ بِكَ؟». فَقَالَ: «يَاسَيِّدُ، أَنْ أُبْصِرَ!».
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
41 τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπε· Κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.
42 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَبْصِرْ. إِيمَانُكَ قَدْ شَفَاكَ».
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
42 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀνάβλεψον· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε.
43 وَفِي ٱلْحَالِ أَبْصَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ ٱللهَ. وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِذْ رَأَوْا سَبَّحُوا ٱللهَ.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
43 καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψε, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῷ Θεῷ.

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).
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?

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.

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.
