路加福音 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
恆心禱告
18 耶穌講了一個比喻來教導門徒要常常禱告，不要灰心。
2 祂說：「某城有一位既不敬畏上帝也不尊重人的審判官。 3 那城裡有一位寡婦常常來哀求這位審判官，說，『求你為我伸冤，懲辦我的對頭。』 4 審判官總是充耳不聞，但後來心裡想，『雖然我不怕上帝，也不在乎人， 5 可是這寡婦一直來煩我，還是替她伸冤好了，免得她再來煩我！』」
6 主接著說：「你們聽，這不義的審判官尚且這麼說， 7 難道上帝聽到祂揀選的人晝夜呼求，不替他們伸冤嗎？難道祂會一直耽延不理嗎？ 8 我告訴你們，祂必很快為他們伸冤。不過當人子來的時候，在世上找得到有信心的人嗎？」
兩種禱告
9 耶穌對那些自以為義、藐視別人的人講了一個比喻： 10 「有兩個人到聖殿裡禱告，一個是法利賽人，一個是稅吏。 11 法利賽人站在那裡自言自語地禱告說，『上帝啊！我感謝你，因為我不像別人那樣勒索、不義、通姦，也不像這稅吏。 12 我每週禁食兩次，奉獻全部收入的十分之一。』
13 「但那稅吏卻遠遠地站著，連頭也不敢抬起來，捶著胸說，『上帝啊，求你憐憫我這個罪人！』
14 「我告訴你們，二人回家後，被上帝算為義的是稅吏而不是法利賽人，因為自高的人必遭貶抑，謙卑的人必得尊榮。」
祝福孩子
15 有許多人把嬰孩帶來要讓耶穌摸一摸他們，為他們祝福，門徒看見，就責備這些人。 16 耶穌卻招呼他們過來，並對門徒說：「讓小孩子到我這裡來，不要阻止他們，因為上帝的國屬於這樣的人。 17 我實在告訴你們，人若不像小孩子一樣接受上帝的國，絕不能進去。」
富豪求問永生
18 一位官長問耶穌：「良善的老師，我該做什麼才能承受永生？」
19 耶穌說：「你為什麼稱呼我『良善的老師』呢？只有上帝是良善的。 20 你知道『不可通姦，不可殺人，不可偷盜，不可作偽證，要孝敬父母』這些誡命」。
21 那人說：「我從小就遵行這些誡命。」
22 耶穌聽了就對他說：「你還有一件事沒有做，就是變賣你所有的產業，分給窮人，你必有財寶存在天上，然後你還要來跟從我。」 23 那人聽了，極其憂愁，因為他非常富有。
24 耶穌見狀，就說；「有錢人進上帝的國真難啊！ 25 駱駝穿過針眼比有錢人進上帝的國還容易呢！」
26 聽見的人就問：「這樣，誰能得救呢？」
27 耶穌回答說：「對人而言，這不可能，但對上帝而言，凡事都可能。」
28 彼得說：「你看！我們已經撇下一切來跟從你了。」
29 耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，任何人為了上帝的國而撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或兒女， 30 今世必得百倍的獎賞，來世必得永生。」
再次預言受害和復活
31 耶穌把十二使徒帶到一邊，對他們說：「你們要留意，我們現在前往耶路撒冷，先知書上有關人子的記載都要應驗， 32 人子將被交在外族人的手裡，被他們嘲弄、虐待、吐唾沫、 33 鞭打和殺害，但第三天祂必復活。」 34 使徒卻一點也不明白，因為這番話的含意是隱藏的，他們聽不明白。
治癒耶利哥的瞎子
35 耶穌快到耶利哥城的時候，有一個瞎子坐在路旁討飯。 36 他聽見許多人經過，就詢問是怎麼回事。 37 有人告訴他是拿撒勒人耶穌經過此地， 38 他就高聲呼喊：「大衛的後裔耶穌啊，可憐我吧！」
39 走在前面的人責備他，讓他安靜，但他反而叫得更大聲：「大衛的後裔啊，可憐我吧！」
40 耶穌停下腳步，命人把他帶過來，然後問他： 41 「你要我為你做什麼？」
他說：「主啊！我想能夠看見。」
42 耶穌對他說：「你看見吧！你的信心救了你。」 43 他立刻得見光明，並跟隨耶穌，一路讚美上帝。目睹這事的人也都讚美上帝。
路 加 福 音 18
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
上帝会回答他的子民
18 耶稣又给门徒们讲了一个比喻，教导他们应该经常祈祷，不要放弃希望。 2 他说∶“从前，某城有一位法官，他不畏惧上帝，也不尊重百姓。 3 当时，城里有一个寡妇，她常常到法官那里说∶‘法官，请制裁我的对头，给我伸张正义吧！’ 4 可是，法官一直没有帮助她。很久以后，他心里想：虽说我不怕上帝，也不尊重百姓， 5 可这个寡妇总来打搅我，倒不如我给她伸了冤，免得她没完没了地打扰我，到最后把我给耗得精疲力尽。”
6 然后，主说：“你们注意听这个不义的法官所说的话。 7 对那些昼夜向上帝呼唤的人们，上帝难道不会给他的选民主持正义吗？难道他会迟迟不帮助他们吗？ 8 我告诉你们，他会迅速为他们伸张正义的！不过，当‘人子’来临时，他还会在世界上找到信奉他的人吗？”
得到上帝的认可
9 耶稣又讲了一个比喻，是针对那些认为自己正义而瞧不起别人的人。他说： 10 “从前，有两个人到主的大殿去祈祷，他们俩其中一个是法利赛人，另一个是税吏。 11 那个法利赛人站在那里，祈祷道∶‘哦哦，上帝啊，我感激您，因为我不像别人那样－我不像强盗、骗子，我不犯通奸罪，我更不像这个税吏， 12 我一周禁食两次，我还奉献我收入的十分之一。’
13 那个税吏远远独自地站着，甚至不敢抬眼望天，可是他却一直在捶胸顿足地说∶‘哦，上帝啊，怜悯我这个有罪的人吧！’ 14 我告诉你们，这个人回去了，就是这个人得到了上帝的认可，而不是另一个人。因为，自命不凡的人将受到贬低；而谦卑的人会受到抬举。”
耶稣欢迎儿童
15 有些人甚至把自己的婴儿都抱到耶稣那里，以便耶稣能把手放在孩子们身上，为他们祝福。可是当门徒看见后，却责备他们。 16 但是，耶稣却把孩子们叫到跟前，说道∶“让这些孩子们到我这里来吧，不要阻挡他们，因为，上帝的王国属于像这些孩子的人。 17 我实话告诉你们，如果谁不能像孩子一样地接受上帝的王国，谁就进不了上帝的王国。”
一个富人不肯跟随耶稣
18 有一个犹太人首领问耶稣∶“好老师，我该做什么才能得到永生呢？
19 耶稣对他说∶“你为什么称我好呢？除了上帝之外，没有任何人是好的。 20 你们知道上帝的诫命：不可通奸，不可杀人，不可偷窃，不得作伪证，要孝敬父母。 [a]”
21 那个犹太人说∶“这些诫命，我从小到现在一直遵守。”
22 耶稣听他这么说，便对他讲∶“可是，还有一件事你需要做，卖掉你所有的财产，把钱分给穷人，这样你在天国里就会有财富了。然后你来跟随我。” 23 但是，那个人听到了这话，感到很悲伤，因为他很富有。
24 耶稣看到他那副样子，便说∶“有钱人要进上帝的王国真是太难了。 25 是的，骆驼钻过针眼都要比富人进上帝的王国还容易呢。”
谁会得救？
26 听到这些话的人们说∶“那么，那么谁能得救呢？” 27 耶稣说∶“人不可能做到的事情，上帝却能做到！” 28 彼得又说∶“您瞧，我们撇下了一切，跟随了您！” 29 耶稣于是对他们说∶“我实话告诉你们吧：事实上，所有为了上帝王国的缘故，而离开他们的家园、妻子、兄弟、父母和孩子的人， 30 将会在今世得到更多，并且在来世享有永恒的生命。”
耶稣再次谈到自己的死
31 然后，耶稣把十二个使徒叫到一边，对他们说∶“听着，我们要到耶路撒冷去，先知们所记载有关人子的事情将要实现。 32 他将被交到外族人的手里，他将受到嘲笑、虐待和唾吐； 33 他们将鞭打他，并杀害了他。但是， 此后的第三天，他会复活。” 34 可是，使徒们对这些事情一样也不明白，这话的含意是向他们隐藏着的，所以，他们不明白他所谈的事情。
耶稣治愈盲人
35 耶稣接近耶利哥的时候，有个盲人坐在路边乞讨。 36 当他听到耶稣他们一行人走过的声音，便问发生了什么事。
37 他们告诉他说：“拿撒勒城的耶稣正从这里路过。” 38 那个盲人便喊道∶“耶稣，大卫的子孙，可怜可怜我吧！”
39 前边走的人斥责他，叫他不要作声，可是他反而喊得更响了∶“大卫的子孙，可怜可怜我吧！”
40 耶稣停下脚步，吩咐人们把那个瞎子带到面前。瞎子来到他面前时，耶稣问他∶“你想要我为你做什么呢？”
41 盲人说∶“主啊，我想重获视力。”
42 耶稣说∶“领受你的视力吧，你的信仰救了你。”
43 他的眼睛立刻复明了，于是，他便跟随了耶稣，一路上对上帝赞不绝口。在场的人看到这个情景，也都赞美起上帝来了。

Luke 18
King James Version
18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
Luke 18
New King James Version
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men (A)always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor [a]regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, [b]‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 (B)yet because this widow troubles me I will [c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And (C)shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you (D)that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 Also He spoke this parable to some (E)who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee (F)stood and prayed thus with himself, (G)‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; (H)for everyone who exalts himself will be [d]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children(I)
15 (J)Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for (K)of such is the kingdom of God. 17 (L)Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler(M)
18 (N)Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but (O)One, that is, God. 20 You know the commandments: (P)‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ (Q)‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
21 And he said, “All (R)these things I have kept from my youth.”
22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. (S)Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
With God All Things Are Possible(T)
24 And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, (U)“How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 But He said, (V)“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 (W)Then Peter said, “See, we have left [e]all and followed You.”
29 So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, (X)there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 (Y)who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”
Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection(Z)
31 (AA)Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things (AB)that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be [f]accomplished. 32 For (AC)He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33 They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”
34 (AD)But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.
A Blind Man Receives His Sight(AE)
35 (AF)Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, (AG)Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, 41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”
42 Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; (AH)your faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, (AI)glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
