Book: Luke

Luke 18:9 And He also spoke this parable to some who relied on themselves that they were righteous, and looking down on others: Luke 18:10 “Two men went up to the Set-apart Place to pray – the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. Luke 18:11 “The Pharisee stood and began to pray with himself this way, ‘Elohim, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men, swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. Luke 18:12 I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I acquire.’ Luke 18:13 “But the tax collector standing at a distance would not even raise his eyes to the heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘Elohim, show favour unto me, a sinner!’ Luke 18:14 “I say to you, this man went down to his house declared right, rather than the other. For everyone who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.”

Luke 18:1 AND he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Luke 18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not YAH, neither regarded man: Luke 18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary. Luke 18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not YAH, nor regard man; Luke 18:5 Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. Luke 18:6 And ADONAI said, Hear what the unjust judge says. Luke 18:7 And shall not YAHUAH avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of A’dam comes, shall he find belief on the earth?

Luke 11:37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him, so He went in and sat down to eat. Luke 11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that He did not first wash before dinner. Luke 11:39 And the Master said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is filled with greed and wickedness. Luke 11:40 “Mindless ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? Luke 11:41 “But give in kindness of that which is within, and see, all are clean to you.

Luke 17:11 And it came to be, as He went to Yerushalayim, that He passed through the midst of Shomeron and Galil. Luke 17:12 And as He was entering into a certain village, He was met by ten leprous men, who stood at a distance. Luke 17:13 And they lifted up their voices, saying, “יהושע, Master, have compassion on us!” Luke 17:14 And having seen them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it came to be, that as they were going, they were cleansed. Luke 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, praising Elohim with a loud voice, Luke 17:16 and he fell down upon his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Shomeroni. Luke 17:17 And יהושע answering, said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Luke 17:18 “Was no one found to return to give praise to Elohim, except this foreigner?”a Footnote: aThe Greek word referring to this Shomeroni is allogenes, which means “of another race.” Luke 17:19 And He said to him, “Rise, go your way. Your belief has made you well.”

Luke 16:14 And the Pharisees, who loved silver, also heard all this, and were sneering at Him, Luke 16:15 so He said to them, “You are those who declare yourselves righteous before men, but Elohim knows your hearts, because what is highly thought of among men is an abomination in the sight of Elohim. Luke 16:16 “The Torah and the prophets are until Yoḥanan. Since then the reign of Elohim is being announced, and everyone is doing violenceb upon it. Footnote: bSee Eze_22:26, Zep_3:4. Luke 16:17 “And it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away than for one tittle of the Torah to fall.

Luke 16:1 And He also said to His taught ones, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager and he was accused to him as wasting his possessions. Luke 16:2 “So having called him he said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, for you are no longer able to be manager.’ Luke 16:3 “And the manager said within himself, ‘What shall I do? For my master is taking the managership away from me. I am unable to dig, I am ashamed to beg. Luke 16:4 I know what I shall do, that, when I am removed from the managership, they might receive me into their houses.’ Luke 16:5 “And calling every one of his master’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ Luke 16:6 “And he said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ Luke 16:7 “Then to another he said, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ Luke 16:8 “And the master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly, because the sons of this age are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light. Luke 16:9 “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon,a that when you fail, they shall receive you into everlasting dwellings. Footnote: aDeity of wealth. Luke 16:10 “He who is trustworthy in what is least, is trustworthy also in much. And he who is unrighteous in what is least is unrighteous also in much. Luke 16:11 “If, therefore, you have not been trustworthy in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true? Luke 16:12 “And if you have not been trustworthy in what is another man’s, who shall give you what is your own? Luke 16:13 “No servant is able to serve two masters, for either he shall hate the one and love the other, or else he shall cling to the one and despise the other. You are not able to serve Elohim and mammon.”

Luke 14:34 “The salt is good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? :35 “It is not fit for land, nor for manure; they throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Luke 15:1 Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming to Him to hear Him. Luke 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes grumbled, saying, “This One receives sinners and eats with them.” Luke 15:3 And He spoke this parable to them, saying, Luke 15:4 “What man among you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? Luke 15:5 “And having found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. Luke 15:6 “And having come home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ Luke 15:7 “I say to you that in the same way there shall be more joy in the heaven over one sinner repenting, than over ninety-nine righteous ones who need no repentance.
