Luke 18:3 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) there was being (ēn) [a] bereaved (chēra) [disciple, v17:22, ER] in (en) the (tē) city (polei) of that (ekeinē), and (kai) she was causing herself to come (ērcheto) to (pros) him (auton), saying (legousa), ‘Avenge me out (ekdikēson me) from (apo) the (tou) one opposed to the righteousness (antidikou) of me (mou)!’
Luke 18:4 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) [[the] judge, v2, RE], over (epi) [a] time (chronon), was absolutely not desiring (ouk ēthelen) [to do it, AE]!
But (de) with (meta) [the passing, AE] of these things (tauta) [[the] judge, v2, RE] enunciated (eipen) in (en) himself (heautō), ‘If (ei) I am absolutely not made fearful (ou phoboumai) of the (ton) God (theon), and (kai) but absolutely not (oude) am I respected (entrepomai) by [a] mortal (anthrōpon)!
Luke 18:5 (LIT/UBS4) Even so (ge), through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (to) [time, AE] of the (tēn) bereaved (chēran) [disciple, v17:22, ER] of this (tautēn) to hold alongside (parechein) to me (moi) labor (kopon), I shall avenge her out (ekdikēsō autēn);

Luke 18:7 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) God (theos), should he no, absolutely not, do (mē ou poiēsē) the (tēn) vengeance (ekdikēsin) of the (tōn) called out (eklektōn) [disciples, v17:22, ER] of him (autou), of the (tōn) [disciples, v17:22, ER] shouting (boōntōn) to him (autō) day (hēmeras) and (kai) night (nuktos)!?
And (kai) is he patient (makrothumei) over (ep’) them (autois)!?
Luke 18:8 (LIT/UBS4) I say (legō) to you (humin) that (hoti) [the God, v7, RE] shall do (poiēsei) the (tēn) vengeance (ekdikēsin) of them (autōn) in (en) [a] hurry (tachei)!
Moreover (plēn), the (ho) Son (huios) of the (tou) Mortal (anthrōpou) having come (elthōn), then (ara) shall he find (heurēsei) the (tēn) belief (pistin) upon (epi) the (tēs) land (gēs)?”

Luke 18:11 (LIT/UBS4) The (ho) Pharisee (Pharisaios) having been caused to stand (statheis), he was causing himself to be well-thankful to4336 (prosēucheto) [God, AE] to (pros) himself (heauton);

I give away [a] tenth (apodekatō) of all (panta), of as much as (hosa) I cause myself to acquire (ktōmai).’
Luke 18:13 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) termination-tax collector5057 (telōnēs) having stood (hestōs) afar (makrothen), he was absolutely not desiring (ouk ēthelen), but absolutely not (oude), to lift up (eparai) the (tous) eyes (ophthalmous) into (eis) the (ton) heaven (ouranon)!!
BUT (all’), he was beating (etupten) the (to) breast (stēthos) of him (autou), saying (legōn), ‘The (ho) God (theos), you have covered (hilasthēti) for me (moi), for the (tō) sinful (hamartōlō) [mortal, v11, RE]!’
Luke 18:14 (LIT/UBS4) I say (legō) to you (humin), this (houtos) [mortal, v11, RE] went down (katebē) into (eis) the (ton) house (oikon) of him (autou) having been made righteous (dedikaiōmenos), aside (par’) from that [Pharisee, v11, RE] (ekeinon) [mortal, v11, ER];
because (hoti) everyone (pas), the (ho) [mortal, v11, ER] setting himself above (hupsōn heauton), he shall be humbled (tapeinōthēsetai).
But (de) the (ho) [mortal, v11, ER] humbling (tapeinōn) himself (heauton), he shall be set above (hupsōthēsetai).”

Because (gar) of the (tōn) [young children, RE] like these (toioutōn) is (estin) the (hē) kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tou) God (theou)!
Luke 18:17 (LIT/UBS4) Truly (amēn) I say (legō) to you (humin), perhaps (an) whoever (hos) may not cause himself to receive (mē dexētai) the (tēn) Kingdom932 (basileian) of the (tou) God (theou) as (hōs) [a] young child (paidion), no (mē), he may absolutely not enter in (eiselthē) into (eis) her (autēn)!”

Luke 18:22 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) having heard (akousas), he enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), "Yet (eti) you (soi) left behind (leipei) one (hen) [injunction, v20, RE]:
sell (pōlēson) all things (panta), as much as (hosa) you have (echeis), and (kai) distribute (diados) [them, AE] to poor (ptōchois) [mortals, v11, ER], and (kai) you shall have (hexeis) treasure (thēsauron) in (en) the (tois) heavens (ouranois).

(For the way leading into life having been smothered, and for the lawyers having stolen the key of knowledge so that others cannot enter in, and subsequently for believers having to force themselves into the Kingdom of the Heavens, see Mat. 7:13-14, 21, 11:12, 16:19, 18:3-9, 19:17-26; Mark 9:43-48, 10:23-25; Luke 11:52, 13:24, 16:16, 18:16-27; John 3:3-6, 10:1-9; Acts 14:21-22)

And (kai) the (tē) day (hēmera), the (tē) third (tritē) [day, RE], he shall cause himself to stand up (anastēsetai)!”
Luke 18:34 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) they (autoi) put together (sunēkan) absolutely not one (ouden) of these (toutōn) [prophecies, AE]!
