差遣门徒

10 事后,主拣选了七十个门徒[a],差遣他们两个两个地出去,先到祂将要去的城镇村庄, 并对他们说:“要收割的庄稼很多,工人却很少,因此你们要祈求庄稼的主人派更多的工人去收割祂的庄稼。

“你们去吧!我差你们出去,就像把羊羔送入狼群。 钱袋、背包和鞋都不要带,在路上也不要与人寒暄。 无论到哪一户人家,要先说,‘愿祝福临到这家!’ 如果那里有配得祝福的人,祝福自然会临到那人,否则祝福仍归给你们。 不要搬来搬去,要固定住在一家,接受那家的款待,因为工人理应得到工钱。

“你们无论到哪一个城镇,如果人们接待你们,就吃他们摆上的饮食。 要医治那城里的病人,告诉他们,‘上帝的国临近你们了。’ 10 但如果哪一个城镇的人不欢迎你们,你们就到街上宣告, 11 ‘就连你们城里的尘土粘在我们脚上,我们都要跺掉,但是要知道,上帝的国临近了。’ 12 我告诉你们,在审判之日,那城所受的刑罚将比所多玛所受的还重!

13 “哥拉汛啊,你大祸临头了!伯赛大啊,你大祸临头了!我在你们当中所行的神迹,如果行在泰尔和西顿,那里的人早就身披麻衣,头蒙灰尘,坐在地上悔改了。 14 在审判之日,你们将比泰尔和西顿受更重的刑罚!

15 “迦百农啊,你将被提升到天上吗?不!你将被打落到阴间。”

16 耶稣继续对门徒说:“谁听从你们,就是听从我;谁拒绝你们,就是拒绝我;拒绝我的,就是拒绝差我来的那位。”

17 七十个门徒兴高采烈地回来说:“主啊,我们奉你的名行事,甚至降服了鬼魔。”

18 耶稣回答说:“我看见撒旦像闪电一样从天上坠下。 19 我已经给你们权柄,使你们能践踏蛇和蝎子,胜过仇敌的权势,没有什么能伤害你们。 20 然而,不要为了邪灵向你们降服而高兴,要因你们的名字记录在天上而高兴。”

21 就在这时候,耶稣受圣灵感动,充满喜乐地说:“父啊,天地的主,我颂赞你!因为你把这些事向聪明、有学问的人隐藏起来,却启示给像孩童一般的人。父啊!是的,这正是你的美意。 22 我父将一切交给了我。除了父,没有人认识子;除了子和受子启示的人,没有人认识父。”

23 随后,耶稣转身悄悄地对门徒说:“谁看到你们今日所看到的,谁就有福了。 24 我告诉你们,以前有许多先知和君王渴望看见你们所看见的,听见你们所听见的,却未能如愿。”

好撒玛利亚人的比喻

25 有一次,一名律法教师站起来试探耶稣,说:“老师,我应该怎样做才能得永生呢?”

26 耶稣反问他:“律法怎么说?你怎么理解?”

27 律法教师答道:“‘你要全心、全情、全力、全意爱主——你的上帝’,又要‘爱邻如己’。” 28 耶稣说:“你答得对,照着去做就有永生了。”

29 律法教师想证明自己有理,就问:“那么,谁是我的邻居呢?”

30 耶稣回答说:“有个人从耶路撒冷去耶利哥,途中被劫。强盗剥了他的衣服,把他打个半死,丢在那里,然后扬长而去。

31 “刚好有位祭司经过,看见那人躺在地上,连忙从旁边绕过,继续赶路。 32 又有个利未人经过,也跟先前那个祭司一样从旁边绕过去了。

33 “后来,有位撒玛利亚人[b]经过,看见这个人,就动了慈心, 34 连忙上前用油和酒替他敷伤口,包扎妥当,然后把他扶上自己骑的牲口,带到附近的客店照料。 35 次日还交给店主两个银币,说,‘请替我好好照顾这个人。如果钱不够的话,等我回来再补给你。’ 36 那么,你认为这三个人中谁是被劫者的邻居呢?”

37 律法教师说:“是那个同情他的人。”

耶稣说:“你去照样做吧。”

上好的福分

38 耶稣和门徒去耶路撒冷的途中路过一个村庄,遇到一位名叫玛大的女子接待他们到家里作客。 39 玛大的妹妹玛丽亚坐在耶稣脚前听道, 40 玛大为了招待客人忙乱不已,于是上前对耶稣说:

“主啊,我妹妹让我一个人伺候大家,你都不管吗?请你叫她来帮帮我吧。”

41 耶稣对她说:“玛大,玛大,你为太多事情忧虑烦恼。 42 其实最要紧的事只有一件,玛丽亚选择了上好的,是夺不走的。”

  2. 10:33 犹太人向来轻视撒玛利亚人,认为他们血统不纯正,因此互不往来。

耶稣派遣七十二名门徒

10 这之后,主又指定了另外七十二 [a]个人,每两人一组,派他们先到他要去的各个城镇去。 耶稣对他们说∶“要收获的庄稼很多,可是收庄稼的人手却很少,所以,向收获的主请求多派些人来帮助收获他的庄稼吧。

你们出去吧!但要明白,我派你们出去,就像把羊羔放到狼群中。 不要带钱包、口袋,也不要带鞋子,路途中,不要向任何人打招呼。 无论你们走进那一家,首先都要说,‘愿这家人平安!’ 如果爱好和平的人在那里,那么,你所求的平安就会降临到他的身上,但是,如果这个人不爱好和平,平安将会回到你们的身上。 在爱好和平的那家住下去,吃喝他们供给你们的东西,因为工作的人应该得到报酬。不要从一家搬到另一家。

而且,无论你们走进哪一个城镇,只要人们欢迎你们,不论给你们摆上什么吃的,你们都要吃。 你们要为那个城的病人治病,并且告诉人们∶‘上帝的王国临近到你们了!’ 10 无论你们走进哪一个城镇,如果那里的人不欢迎你们,你们就走到大街上,对他们说: 11 ‘就连附在我们脚上的你们城镇的尘土,我们都要抖掉,以示对你们的警告。但是你们要明白:上帝的王国已经临近了!’ 12 我告诉你们,在审判日,那个城镇受到的惩罚要比所多玛人遭受到的还要惨。”

耶稣警告不信上帝的人

13 “哥拉讯,你要遭殃了!伯赛大 [b],你要遭殃了!我在你们中间行了许多奇迹,如果这些同样的奇迹发生在推罗和西顿 [c],那里的人们早就会悔改了,他们会就地而坐,披麻蒙灰,对自己的罪孽表示内疚。 14 不过,在审判之日,你们的遭遇将比推罗和西顿人受到的更惨。 15 迦百农,你会升天吗?绝对不会,你会被投入地狱!

16 “听从你们的人,就是在听从我;拒绝你们的人,就是在拒绝我;拒绝我的人,也就是在拒绝派遣我来的人。”

撒旦垮台

17 耶稣派出去的那七十二 [d]个人高高兴兴地回来了,他们说∶“主啊,当我们用您的名义命令鬼时,他们甚至也听命服从了我们!” 18 耶稣对他们说∶“我曾看见撒旦像一道闪电一样,从天空坠下来! 19 听着,我已经交给了你们践踏蛇和蝎子的权力,交给了你们战胜一切敌人的力量,没有什么会伤害你们。 20 但是,不要因为鬼屈服于你们而高兴,而真正值得欣喜的是,你们的名字都被记载在天堂里了。”

耶稣向父祈祷

21 此时,圣灵使耶稣充满了快乐,他说∶“我赞美您,父—天地之主,我感谢您,您向聪明、智慧的人隐藏了这些事,却把它们揭示给像孩子似的人。父,这一切都是按照您的意愿发生的。

22 “我父赐给了我所有的一切,除了圣父,没有人知道圣子是谁;除了圣子和圣子愿意向他揭示的人之外,没有人知道圣父是谁。”

23 然后,耶稣转过身来,对他的门徒悄悄地说道∶“你们看到了这一切是多么地幸运啊! 24 因为,我告诉你们,以前曾有很多先知和国王都期望着看见你们所看到的一切,可是,他们却没有看到;他们期望听到你们所听到的一切,可是,他们也没有听到。”

撒玛利亚好人的故事

25 此刻,一个律法专家站起身来,他想试探耶稣,说道∶“老师,我该做什么,才能得到永恒的生命呢?”

26 耶稣对他说∶“律法里是怎么写的?你读到的是什么呢?”

27 那人回答说∶“要全心全意,尽力、尽智地去爱主—你的上帝 [e],还有,‘爱人如爱己。’” [f]

28 耶稣对他说∶“你回答得对。照这样做,你就可以得到永恒的生命。”

29 可是,那个人却想证明自己是正确的,就对耶稣说道∶“可谁又是我的邻居呢?”

30 耶稣回答他说道∶“从前,有一个人从耶路撒冷出发到耶利哥去,可是在途中却落到了强盗的手里。强盗们剥掉了他的衣裳,又狠狠地打了他一顿,然后便扬长而去,把那个被打得半死的人丢在路边上。 31 刚好,有一位祭司从这条路上走过,他看见那个人时,便从路的另一边绕开走过去了。 32 同样,一个利未人,也来到那个地方,当他看到那个人时,也同样从路的另一边绕着走过去了。 33 后来,一个撒玛利亚人旅行时来到这里,看到了他,立刻起了慈心, 34 就走上前去,在他的伤口上洒了一些油和酒,并为他包扎好了伤口,然后,把他放在自己的牲口背上,带到了一个小客店,并且精心地照料他。 35 第二天,他掏出两块银币,交给店主,嘱咐他说∶‘好好照料这个人,如果这些钱不够,等我回来时,我一定还给你。’

36 “那么,你认为这三个人里,哪一个是那个落到强盗手里的人的邻居呢?”

37 那个律法师说∶“那个怜悯他的人。”

然后,耶稣对他说∶“那么你就去按照他的做法去做吧!”

马利亚和马大

38 耶稣和门徒们继续他们的旅行。耶稣进了一个村庄。一个叫马大的女人欢迎耶稣到她家去。 39 她有一个妹妹,名叫马利亚,坐在耶稣脚边,听他的教导。

40 但是,马大却因为要做的事情很多,被弄得心烦意乱。她走过来对耶稣说∶“主啊,我妹妹把所有的活儿都丢给我一个人干,难道您不在意吗?请叫她来帮我一把吧!”

41 主回答她说∶“马大呀,马大,你为太多的事情操心了, 42 但是,只有一件事是必要的,马利亚已经做出了正确的选择,没有人能从她那里把它夺走。”

10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
