Luke

寡婦和法官的比喻

1耶穌設一個比喻，是要人常常禱告，不可灰心。

2說：「某城裏有一個官，不懼怕上帝，也不尊重世人。

3那城裏有個寡婦，常到他那裏，說：『我有一個對頭，求你給我伸冤。』

4他多日不准， 後來心裏說：『我雖不懼怕上帝，也不尊重世人，

5只因這寡婦煩擾我，我就給她伸冤吧，免得她常來纏磨我！』」

6主說：「你們聽這不義之官所說的話。

7上帝的選民晝夜呼籲他，他縱然為他們忍了多時，豈不終久給他們伸冤嗎？

8我告訴你們，要快快地給他們伸冤了。然而，人子來的時候，遇得見世上有信德嗎？」

法利賽人和稅吏的禱告

9耶穌向那些仗着自己是義人，藐視別人的，設一個比喻，

10說：「有兩個人上殿裏去禱告：一個是法利賽人，一個是稅吏。

11法利賽人站着，自言自語地禱告說：『上帝啊，我感謝你，我不像別人勒索、不義、姦淫，也不像這個稅吏。

12我一個禮拜禁食兩次，凡我所得的都捐上十分之一。』

13那稅吏遠遠地站着，連舉目望天也不敢，只捶着胸說：『上帝啊，開恩可憐我這個罪人！』

14我告訴你們，這人回家去比那人倒算為義了；因為，凡自高的，必降為卑；自卑的，必升為高。」

耶穌為小孩祝福

15有人抱着自己的嬰孩來見耶穌，要他摸他們；門徒看見就責備那些人。

16耶穌卻叫他們來，說：「讓小孩子到我這裏來，不要禁止他們，因為在上帝國的正是這樣的人。

17我實在告訴你們，凡要承受上帝國的，若不像小孩子，斷不能進去。」

富足的官尋求永生之道

18有一個官問耶穌說：「良善的夫子，我該做甚麼事才可以承受永生？」

19耶穌對他說：「你為甚麼稱我是良善的？除了上帝一位之外，再沒有良善的。

20誡命你是曉得的：『不可姦淫；不可殺人；不可偷盜；不可作假見證；當孝敬父母。』」

21那人說：「這一切我從小都遵守了。」

22耶穌聽見了，就說：「你還缺少一件：要變賣你一切所有的，分給窮人，就必有財寶在天上；你還要來跟從我。」

23他聽見這話，就甚憂愁，因為他很富足。

24耶穌看見他，就說：「有錢財的人進上帝的國是何等的難哪！

25駱駝穿過針的眼比財主進上帝的國還容易呢！」

26聽見的人說：「這樣，誰能得救呢？」

27耶穌說：「在人所不能的事，在上帝卻能。」

28彼得說：「看哪，我們已經撇下自己所有的跟從你了。」

29耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，人為上帝的國撇下房屋，或是妻子、弟兄、父母、兒女，

30沒有在今世不得百倍，在來世不得永生的。」

耶穌第三次預言受難和復活

31耶穌帶着十二個門徒，對他們說：「看哪，我們上耶路撒冷去，先知所寫的一切事都要成就在人子身上。

32他將要被交給外邦人；他們要戲弄他，凌辱他，吐唾沫在他臉上，

33並要鞭打他，殺害他；第三日他要復活。」

34這些事門徒一樣也不懂得，意思乃是隱藏的；他們不曉得所說的是甚麼。

治好耶利哥的瞎子

35耶穌將近耶利哥的時候，有一個瞎子坐在路旁討飯。

36聽見許多人經過，就問是甚麼事。

37他們告訴他，是拿撒勒人耶穌經過。

38他就呼叫說：「大衛的子孫耶穌啊，可憐我吧！」

39在前頭走的人就責備他，不許他作聲；他卻越發喊叫說：「大衛的子孫，可憐我吧！」

40耶穌站住，吩咐把他領過來，到了跟前，就問他說：

41「你要我為你做甚麼？」他說：「主啊，我要能看見。」

42耶穌說：「你可以看見！你的信救了你了。」

43瞎子立刻看見了，就跟隨耶穌，一路歸榮耀與上帝。眾人看見這事，也讚美上帝。

1He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,

2saying,“There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.

3A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’

4He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,

5yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”

6The Lord said,“Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.

7Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

8I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

9He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:

10“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

11The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

12I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’

13But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

15They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16Jesus summoned them, saying,“Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.

17Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

18A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

19Jesus asked him,“Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.

20You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’”

21He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”

22When Jesus heard these things, he said to him,“You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

23But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.

24Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said,“How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

25For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

26Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”

27But he said,“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

28Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”

29He said to them,“Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,

30who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”

31He took the twelve aside and said to them,“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

32For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

33They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”

34They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.

35As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

36Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

37They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

38He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

39Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

40Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

41“What do you want me to do?”He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”

42Jesus said to him,“Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”

43Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
