- 18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
主说，你们听这不义的审判官所说的。
- 18:7 And will not God by all means carry out the avenging of His chosen ones, who cry to Him day and night, though He is long-suffering over them?
神的选民昼夜呼吁祂，祂纵然为他们忍耐着，岂不终久给他们伸冤么？
- 18:8 I tell you that He will carry out their avenging quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?
我告诉你们，祂要快快的给他们伸冤了。然而，人子来的时候，在地上找得到信心么？
- 18:9 And He told this parable also to certain ones who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised the rest:
耶稣也向那些仗着自己是义人，藐视别人的，说了这个比喻：
- 18:10 Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
有两个人上殿里去祷告，一个是法利赛人，另一个是税吏。
- 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things to himself: God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men -- extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
法利赛人站着，自言自语的祷告说，神阿，我感谢你，我不像别人，勒索、不义、奸淫，也不像这个税吏。
- 18:12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all that I get.
我一周禁食两次，凡我所得的，都献上十分之一。
- 18:13 But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be propitiated to me, the sinner!
那税吏却远远的站着，连举目望天也不敢，只捶着胸说，神阿，宽恕我这个罪人！
- 18:14 I tell you, This man went down to his house justified rather than that one; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
我告诉你们，这人回家去，得称为义，那人却不然。因为凡高抬自己的，必降为卑；降卑自己的，必升为高。

- 18:19 But Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One -- God.
耶稣对他说，你为什么称我是良善的？除了神一位以外，再没有良善的。
- 18:20 You know the commandments: "Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.''
诫命你是晓得的：“不可奸淫，不可杀人，不可偷盗，不可作假见证，当孝敬父母。”
