The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.: The common English version, corrected by the final committee of the American Bible Union.
Bible. New Testament
(34)I say to you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; one
will be taken, and the other will be left. (35)Two women will be
grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left. (37)And they
answering say to him: Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body
is, there also will the eagles be gathered together.
XVIII.
AND he spoke also a parable to them, to the end that they ought always
to pray, and not to faint; (2)saying: There was in a certain city a
certain judge, who feared not God, nor regarded man. (3)And there was
a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my
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 troubles me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she
weary me.
(6)And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says. (7)And will not
God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he is long
suffering in respect to them? (8)I say to you, that he will avenge
them speedily. But yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith
on the earth?
(9)And he spoke this parable to some who trust in themselves that they
are righteous, and despise others. (10)Two men went up into the temple
to pray; 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, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
publican. (12)I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I
possess[18:12]. (13)And the publican, standing afar off, would not
even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying:
God be merciful to me, the sinner. (14)I say to you, this man went
down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that
exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be
exalted.
(15)And they brought to him also infants, that he might touch them;
and the disciples seeing it rebuked them. (16)But Jesus calling them
to him, said: Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid
them not; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. (17)Verily I say to
you, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child,
shall not enter therein.
