撒該悔改

19 耶穌進了耶利哥,正從城裡經過。 有個人名叫撒該,是稅吏長,家財豐厚。 他想看看耶穌,可是因為周圍人多,他身材矮小,無法看見。 他便跑到前面,爬上一棵桑樹觀看,因為耶穌會從那裡經過。

耶穌走到那裡,抬頭招呼他說:「撒該,快下來!今天我要住在你家。」

撒該連忙爬下來,興高采烈地帶耶穌回家。 百姓見狀,都埋怨說:「祂怎麼到一個罪人家裡作客?」

撒該站起來對主說:「主啊,我要把我一半的財產分給窮人。我欺騙過誰,就還誰四倍。」

耶穌說:「今天救恩臨到這家了,因為他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。 10 人子來是要尋找和拯救迷失的人。」

十個奴僕的比喻

11 眾人在聽的時候,耶穌又為他們講了一個比喻,因為祂快到耶路撒冷了,人們以為上帝的國馬上就要降臨了。

12 耶穌說:「有一位貴族要到遠方去受封為王,然後返回。 13 臨行前,他召集了十個奴僕,發給每人一千個銀幣,吩咐他們,『你們在我出門期間要用這些錢做生意。』

14 「可是他的人民卻憎恨他,他們隨後派一個代表團去請願說,『我們不要這人作我們的王。』

15 「那貴族受封為王回來後,召齊十個奴僕,想知道他們做生意賺了多少。 16 第一個奴僕上前稟告說,『主啊,我用你給我的一千個銀幣賺了一萬個銀幣。』

17 「主人說,『好,你真是個好奴僕!你既然在小事上忠心,就派你管理十座城。』

18 「第二個奴僕上前說,『主啊,我用你給我的一千個銀幣賺了五千個銀幣。』

19 「主人說,『我派你管理五座城。』

20 「另一個奴僕上前說,『主啊,這是你先前給我的一千個銀幣,我一直把它包在手帕裡。 21 因為你很嚴厲,沒有存還要取,沒有種還要收,所以我怕你。』

22 「主人聽了,對那奴僕說,『你這個惡奴僕!我要按你自己的話定你的罪。你既然知道我很嚴厲,沒有存還要取,沒有種還要收, 23 為什麼不把我的銀幣存進錢莊,到我回來時可以連本帶利收回來?』

24 「接著,他吩咐站在旁邊的奴僕,『收回他那一千個銀幣,賞給那個賺了一萬銀幣的。』

25 「他們說,『主啊,那個人已經有一萬銀幣了。』

26 「主人答道,『我告訴你們,凡有的,還要給他更多;凡沒有的,連他僅有的也要奪走。 27 至於那些反對我作王的仇敵,把他們捉回來,在我面前處決。』」

騎驢進耶路撒冷

28 耶穌說完這個比喻,就走在眾人前面上耶路撒冷去。

29 快到橄欖山附近的伯法其和伯大尼時,耶穌派了兩個門徒,說: 30 「你們去前面的村莊,進村的時候,必看見一頭從來沒有人騎過的驢駒拴在那裡,你們把牠解開牽來。 31 若有人問你們為什麼把牠解開,就說,『主要用牠。』」

32 兩個門徒出去後,所遇見的情形正如耶穌所說的。 33 當他們解開驢駒時,主人果然問他們:「你們為什麼解開驢駒?」

34 他們說:「主要用牠。」

35 他們牽著驢駒回去見耶穌,又把自己的外衣搭在驢背上,扶耶穌上驢。

36 耶穌騎著驢前行,眾人用外衣為祂鋪路。 37 祂正走下橄欖山,將近耶路撒冷的時候,眾門徒因為以往所見的神蹟奇事,就歡騰起來,高聲讚美上帝:

38 「奉主名來的王當受稱頌!
天上有平安,至高處有榮耀!」

39 百姓中有幾個法利賽人對耶穌說:「老師,你要責備你的門徒。」

40 耶穌說:「我告訴你們,如果他們閉口不言,這些石頭都要呼喊了!」

為耶路撒冷哀哭

41 耶穌快到耶路撒冷時,看見那城就哀哭, 42 說:「今天你若知道那能帶給你平安的事就好了!可惜這事現在是隱藏的,你看不見! 43 因為有一天敵人要在你周圍築起壁壘把你團團圍住,四面攻擊你。 44 他們要把你夷為平地,毀滅你城牆裡的兒女,不會留下兩塊疊在一起的石頭,因為你沒有認識到上帝眷顧你的時刻。」

耶穌潔淨聖殿

45 耶穌進入聖殿趕走裡面做買賣的人, 46 並對他們說:「聖經上說,『我的殿要成為禱告的殿』,你們竟把它變成了賊窩。」

47 祂天天在聖殿教導人,祭司長、律法教師和百姓的官長都想殺祂, 48 只是無從下手,因為百姓都十分喜愛聽祂講道。

撒该悔改

19 耶稣进了耶利哥,正从城里经过。 有个人名叫撒该,是税吏长,家财丰厚。 他想看看耶稣,可是因为周围人多,他身材矮小,无法看见。 他便跑到前面,爬上一棵桑树观看,因为耶稣会从那里经过。

耶稣走到那里,抬头招呼他说:“撒该,快下来!今天我要住在你家。”

撒该连忙爬下来,兴高采烈地带耶稣回家。 百姓见状,都埋怨说:“祂怎么到一个罪人家里作客?”

撒该站起来对主说:“主啊,我要把我一半的财产分给穷人。我欺骗过谁,就还谁四倍。”

耶稣说:“今天救恩临到这家了,因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。 10 人子来是要寻找和拯救迷失的人。”

十个奴仆的比喻

11 众人在听的时候,耶稣又为他们讲了一个比喻,因为祂快到耶路撒冷了,人们以为上帝的国马上就要降临了。

12 耶稣说:“有一位贵族要到远方去受封为王,然后返回。 13 临行前,他召集了十个奴仆,发给每人一千个银币,吩咐他们,‘你们在我出门期间要用这些钱做生意。’

14 “可是他的人民却憎恨他,他们随后派一个代表团去请愿说,‘我们不要这人做我们的王。’

15 “那贵族受封为王回来后,召齐十个奴仆,想知道他们做生意赚了多少。 16 第一个奴仆上前禀告说,‘主啊,我用你给我的一千个银币赚了一万个银币。’

17 “主人说,‘好,你真是个好奴仆!你既然在小事上忠心,就派你管理十座城。’

18 “第二个奴仆上前说,‘主啊,我用你给我的一千个银币赚了五千个银币。’

19 “主人说,‘我派你管理五座城。’

20 “另一个奴仆上前说,‘主啊,这是你先前给我的一千个银币,我一直把它包在手帕里。 21 因为你很严厉,没有存还要取,没有种还要收,所以我怕你。’

22 “主人听了,对那奴仆说,‘你这个恶奴仆!我要按你自己的话定你的罪。你既然知道我很严厉,没有存还要取,没有种还要收, 23 为什么不把我的银币存进钱庄,到我回来时可以连本带利收回来?’

24 “接着,他吩咐站在旁边的奴仆,‘收回他那一千个银币,赏给那个赚了一万银币的。’

25 “他们说,‘主啊,那个人已经有一万银币了。’

26 “主人答道,‘我告诉你们,凡有的,还要给他更多;凡没有的,连他仅有的也要夺走。 27 至于那些反对我做王的仇敌,把他们捉回来,在我面前处决。’”

骑驴进耶路撒冷

28 耶稣说完这个比喻,就走在众人前面上耶路撒冷去。

29 快到橄榄山附近的伯法其和伯大尼时,耶稣派了两个门徒,说: 30 “你们去前面的村庄,进村的时候,必看见一头从来没有人骑过的驴驹拴在那里,你们把它解开牵来。 31 若有人问你们为什么把它解开,就说,‘主要用它。’”

32 两个门徒出去后,所遇见的情形正如耶稣所说的。 33 当他们解开驴驹时,主人果然问他们:“你们为什么解开驴驹?”

34 他们说:“主要用它。”

35 他们牵着驴驹回去见耶稣,又把自己的外衣搭在驴背上,扶耶稣上驴。

36 耶稣骑着驴前行,众人用外衣为祂铺路。 37 祂正走下橄榄山,将近耶路撒冷的时候,众门徒因为以往所见的神迹奇事,就欢腾起来,高声赞美上帝:

38 “奉主名来的王当受称颂!
天上有平安,至高处有荣耀!”

39 百姓中有几个法利赛人对耶稣说:“老师,你要责备你的门徒。”

40 耶稣说:“我告诉你们,如果他们闭口不言,这些石头都要呼喊了!”

为耶路撒冷哀哭

41 耶稣快到耶路撒冷时,看见那城就哀哭, 42 说:“今天你若知道那能带给你平安的事就好了!可惜这事现在是隐藏的,你看不见! 43 因为有一天敌人要在你周围筑起壁垒把你团团围住,四面攻击你。 44 他们要把你夷为平地,毁灭你城墙里的儿女,不会留下两块叠在一起的石头,因为你没有认识到上帝眷顾你的时刻。”

耶稣洁净圣殿

45 耶稣进入圣殿赶走里面做买卖的人, 46 并对他们说:“圣经上说,‘我的殿要成为祷告的殿’,你们竟把它变成了贼窝。”

47 祂天天在圣殿教导人,祭司长、律法教师和百姓的官长都想杀祂, 48 只是无从下手,因为百姓都十分喜爱听祂讲道。

税吏长撒该

19 耶稣进了耶利哥,正经过的时候, 有一个人名叫撒该,是税吏长,又很富有。 他想看看耶稣是怎么样的,因为人多,他又身材矮小,就看不见。 于是他跑到前头,爬上一棵桑树,要看看耶稣,因为耶稣就要从那里经过。 耶稣到了那里,往上一看,对他说:“撒该,快下来,今天我要住在你家里。” 他就赶快下来,欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣。 众人看见就纷纷议论说:“他竟到罪人家里去住宿!” 撒该站着对主说:“主啊,请看,我要把家财的一半分给穷人,我若敲诈了谁,就还他四倍。” 耶稣说:“今天救恩到了这家,他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。 10 因为人子来,是要寻找拯救失丧的人。”

十个仆人的比喻(参(A)

11 众人听这些话的时候,因为耶稣已经接近耶路撒冷,又因他们以为 神的国快要出现,他就讲了一个比喻, 12 说:“有一个贵族往远方去要接受王位,然后回来。 13 他叫了自己的十个仆人来,给他们一千银币,说:‘你们拿去作生意,等到我回来。’ 14 他本国的人却恨他,就派使者跟着去说:‘我们不愿意这个人作王统治我们。’ 15 他得了王位回来,就吩咐把那些领了钱的仆人召来,要知道他们作生意赚了多少。 16 第一个走过来说:‘主啊,你的一百银币,已经赚了一千。’ 17 主人说:‘好,良善的仆人,你既然在最小的事上忠心,可以有权管理十座城。’ 18 第二个来说:‘主啊,你的一百银币,已经赚了五百。’ 19 主人说:‘你可以管理五座城。’ 20 另一个来说:‘主啊,你看,你的一百银币,我一直保存在手巾里, 21 因为我怕你,你一向是严厉的人,没有存的要提取,没有种的要收割。’ 22 主人说:‘可恶的仆人!我要凭你的口定你的罪。你知道我是严厉的人,没有存的要提取,没有种的要收割吗? 23 那你为甚么不把我的钱存入银行,等我回来的时候,把它连本带利取回来呢?’ 24 他就对侍卫说:‘夺过他的一百银币,给那有一千的。’ 25 他们说:‘主啊,他已经有一千银币了。’ 26 主人说:‘我告诉你们,凡是有的,还要给他;没有的,就算他有甚么也要拿去。 27 至于我那些仇敌,就是不愿意我作王统治他们的,把他们拉到这里来,在我面前杀掉!’”

骑驴进耶路撒冷(B)

28 耶稣讲完这些话,就往前走,上耶路撒冷去。 29 将到伯法其和伯大尼,就在橄榄山那里,他差派两个门徒, 30 说:“你们往对面的村子里去,走进去的时候,就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的小驴,拴在那里,把牠解开牵来。 31 如果有人问为甚么解开牠,你们要这样说:‘主需要牠。’” 32 被差的人去了,发现和主所说的一样。 33 他们解开小驴的时候,主人问他们:“你们为甚么解开牠?” 34 他们说:“主需要牠。” 35 他们把小驴牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,扶着耶稣上去。 36 耶稣前行的时候,众人把自己的衣服铺在路上。

37 他走近耶路撒冷,快要下橄榄山的时候,全体门徒因为所看见的一切神迹,就欢乐起来,大声赞美 神, 38 说:

“奉主名来的王,

是应当称颂的!

在天上有和平,

在至高之处有荣耀!”

39 群众中有几个法利赛人对他说:“先生,责备你的门徒吧!” 40 耶稣说:“我告诉你们,他们若不出声,石头都要呼叫了。”

为耶路撒冷哀哭

41 耶稣走近耶路撒冷的时候,看见了城,就为城哀哭, 42 说:“巴不得你在这日子,知道关于你平安的事,但现在这事在你眼前是隐藏的。 43 日子将到,你的仇敌必筑垒攻击你,周围环绕你,四面困住你, 44 要摧毁你和你里面的儿女,没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面,因为你不知道那眷顾你的时期。”

洁净圣殿(C)

45 耶稣进了圣殿,就赶走作买卖的人, 46 对他们说:“经上记着:

‘我的殿是祷告的殿’,

你们竟把它弄成贼窝了。”

47 他天天在圣殿里教导人,祭司长、经学家和民间的首领,都想杀害他; 48 但他们不知道要怎样下手,因为众人都围着他,听他的教训。

19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
