St Luke 18:4-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

4. And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,

5. Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.

6. And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7. And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?

8. I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?

9. And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

10. Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11. The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.

12. I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
