Luke 18:5-15

5 nevertheless for this widow is heavy to me, I shall venge her; lest at the last she coming condemn me [lest at the last she coming strangle me].
6 And the Lord said, Hear ye, what the doomsman of wickedness saith;
7 and whether God shall not do [the] vengeance of his chosen, crying to him day and night, and shall have patience in them?
8 Soothly I say to you, for soon he shall do [the] vengeance of them. Nevertheless guessest thou, that man's Son coming shall find faith in earth?
9 And he said also to some men, that trusted in themselves, as they were rightful, and despised others, this parable, saying,
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 And the Pharisee stood, and prayed by himself these things, and said [Forsooth the Pharisee standing, prayed with himself these things, saying], God, I do thankings to thee, for I am not as other men, raveners, unjust, adulterers, as also this publican;
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things that I have in possession.
13 And the publican stood afar, and would not raise his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, and said [And the publican standing afar would not neither lift up the eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying], God be merciful to me, sinner.
14 Truly I say to you, this went down into his house, and was justified from the other. For each that enhanceth himself, shall be made low, and he that meeketh himself, shall be enhanced.
15 And they brought to him young children, that he should touch them; and when the disciples saw this thing, they blamed them.
