教导和医治

23 耶稣走遍加利利,在各个会堂里教导人,宣讲天国的福音,医治人们各样的疾病。 24 祂的名声传遍了整个叙利亚。人们把一切患病的,就是患各种疾病的、疼痛的、癫痫的、瘫痪的,以及被鬼附身的都带到祂面前,祂都医治了他们。 25 因此,有大群的人跟从了祂,他们来自加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、犹太和约旦河东。

八福

耶稣看见这些人群,就上了山,刚坐下,门徒便走到祂跟前, 祂就开口教导他们,说:

“心灵贫穷的人有福了,
因为天国是他们的。
哀痛的人有福了,
因为他们必得安慰。
谦和的人有福了,
因为他们必承受土地。
爱慕公义如饥似渴的人有福了,
因为他们必得饱足。
心存怜悯的人有福了,
因为他们必蒙上帝的怜悯。
心灵纯洁的人有福了,
因为他们必看见上帝。
使人和睦的人有福了,
因为他们必被称为上帝的儿女。
10 为义受迫害的人有福了,
因为天国是他们的。

11 “人们因为我的缘故侮辱、迫害、肆意毁谤你们,你们就有福了。 12 要欢喜快乐,因为你们在天上有很大的奖赏。他们也曾这样迫害以前的先知。

盐和光

13 “你们是世上的盐。如果盐失去咸味,怎能使它再变咸呢?它将毫无用处,只有被丢在外面任人践踏。 14 你们是世上的光,如同建在山上的城一样无法隐藏。 15 人点亮了灯,不会把它放在斗底下,而是放在灯台上,好照亮全家。 16 同样,你们的光也应当照在人面前,好让他们看见你们的好行为,便赞美你们天上的父。

教導和醫治

23 耶穌走遍加利利,在各個會堂裡教導人,宣講天國的福音,醫治人們各樣的疾病。 24 祂的名聲傳遍了整個敘利亞。人們把一切患病的,就是患各種疾病的、疼痛的、癲癇的、癱瘓的,以及被鬼附身的都帶到祂面前,祂都醫治了他們。 25 因此,有大群的人跟從了祂,他們來自加利利、低加坡里、耶路撒冷、猶太和約旦河東。

八福

耶穌看見這些人群,就上了山,剛坐下,門徒便走到祂跟前, 祂就開口教導他們,說:

「心靈貧窮的人有福了,
因為天國是他們的。
哀慟的人有福了,
因為他們必得安慰。
謙和的人有福了,
因為他們必承受土地。
愛慕公義如饑似渴的人有福了,
因為他們必得飽足。
心存憐憫的人有福了,
因為他們必蒙上帝的憐憫。
心靈純潔的人有福了,
因為他們必看見上帝。
使人和睦的人有福了,
因為他們必被稱為上帝的兒女。
10 為義受迫害的人有福了,
因為天國是他們的。

11 「人們因為我的緣故侮辱、迫害、肆意毀謗你們,你們就有福了。 12 要歡喜快樂,因為你們在天上有很大的獎賞。他們也曾這樣迫害以前的先知。

鹽和光

13 「你們是世上的鹽。如果鹽失去鹹味,怎能使它再變鹹呢?它將毫無用處,只有被丟在外面任人踐踏。 14 你們是世上的光,如同建在山上的城一樣無法隱藏。 15 人點亮了燈,不會把它放在斗底下,而是放在燈臺上,好照亮全家。 16 同樣,你們的光也應當照在人面前,好讓他們看見你們的好行為,便讚美你們天上的父。

Jesus Heals the Sick

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee,(A) teaching in their synagogues,(B) proclaiming the good news(C) of the kingdom,(D) and healing every disease and sickness among the people.(E) 24 News about him spread all over Syria,(F) and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed,(G) those having seizures,(H) and the paralyzed;(I) and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,[a] Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.(J)

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes(K)

He said:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(L)
Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.(M)
Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.(N)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.(O)
Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.(P)
Blessed are the pure in heart,(Q)
    for they will see God.(R)
Blessed are the peacemakers,(S)
    for they will be called children of God.(T)
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,(U)
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(V)

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you,(W) persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.(X) 12 Rejoice and be glad,(Y) because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.(Z)

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.(AA)

14 “You are the light of the world.(AB) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(AC) 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(AD) that they may see your good deeds(AE) and glorify(AF) your Father in heaven.
