路加福音 7
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
治好百夫長的僕人(A)
7 耶穌向群眾講完這一切話,就進了迦百農。 2 有百夫長所重用的一個奴僕,病得快要死了。 3 百夫長聽見耶穌的事,就打發猶太人中幾個長老到他那裡,求他去醫治他的奴僕。 4 長老們就來見耶穌,懇切地求他說:“你給他行這事,是他配得的, 5 因為他愛我們的人民,給我們建造會堂。” 6 耶穌就和他們同去。離那家不遠的時候,百夫長派幾個朋友來說:“主啊,不必勞駕,因為你到舍下來,我實在不敢當, 7 我也覺得沒有資格去見你;只要你說一句話,我的僕人就必好了。 8 因為我自己是在別人的權下,也有兵在我以下;我對這個說:‘去!’他就去;對另一個說:‘來!’他就來;對我的僕人說:‘作這個!’他就作。” 9 耶穌聽見這些話,就很驚奇,轉身對跟隨的眾人說:“我告訴你們,這樣的信心,我在以色列中從來沒有見過。” 10 奉派的人回到家裡,見那奴僕已經好了。
使拿因城寡婦的兒子復活
11 後來耶穌往拿因城去,與他同去的有門徒和一大群人。 12 他走近城門的時候,有人把一個死人抬出來,是個獨生子,他母親又是個寡婦。城裡有一大群人陪著她。 13 主看見了,就憐憫她,對她說:“不要哭!” 14 於是上前按著槓子,抬的人就站住。他說:“青年人,我吩咐你起來!” 15 那死人就坐起來,開口說話,耶穌就把他交給他母親。 16 眾人都驚懼,頌讚 神說:“有偉大的先知在我們中間興起來了!”又說:“ 神眷顧他的子民了!” 17 於是這話傳遍了猶太和周圍各地。
約翰派門徒去見耶穌(B)
18 約翰的門徒把這一切事告訴約翰。他就叫了兩個門徒, 19 差他們往主那裡去,說:“你就是那位要來的,還是我們要等別人呢?” 20 兩人來到耶穌跟前,說:“施洗的約翰差我們來問你:‘你就是那位要來的,還是我們要等別人呢?’” 21 就在那時候,耶穌治好許多患疾病的、遭災難的、身上有污鬼附著的,並且施恩給瞎眼的,使他們看見。 22 耶穌回答他們:“你們回去,把看見和聽見的都告訴約翰,就是瞎的可以看見,跛的可以走路,患痲風的得到潔淨,聾的可以聽見,死人復活,窮人有福音聽。 23 那不被我絆倒的,就有福了。”
耶穌論約翰(C)
24 約翰差來的人走了以後,耶穌對群眾講起約翰來,說:“你們到曠野去,是要看甚麼?被風吹動的蘆葦嗎? 25 你們出去到底要看甚麼?身穿華麗衣服的人嗎?這些衣服華麗,生活奢侈的人,是在王宮裡的。 26 那麼,你們出去要看甚麼?先知嗎?我告訴你們,是的。他比先知重要得多了。 27 聖經所記:
‘看哪,我差遣我的使者在你面前,
他必在你前頭預備你的道路’,
這句話是指著他說的。 28 我告訴你們,婦人所生的,沒有一個比約翰更大,然而在 神的國裡最小的比他還大。” 29 眾人和稅吏受過約翰的洗禮,聽見這話,就稱 神為義。 30 但法利賽人和律法師,未受過約翰的洗禮,就拒絕 神對他們的美意。 31 耶穌又說:“我要把這世代的人比作甚麼呢?他們好像甚麼呢? 32 他們好像小孩子坐在巿中心,彼此呼叫,說:
‘我們給你們吹笛子,你們卻不跳舞;
我們唱哀歌,你們也不啼哭。’
33 因為施洗的約翰來了,不吃飯,不喝酒,你們說他是鬼附的。 34 人子來了,又吃又喝,你們說:‘你看,這人貪食好酒,與稅吏和罪人為友。’ 35 但 神的智慧,藉著他的兒女就證實是公義的了。”
赦免犯了罪的女人(參(D)
36 有一個法利賽人,請耶穌同他吃飯,他就到法利賽人家去赴席。 37 那城裡有一個女人,是個罪人,知道他在法利賽人家裡吃飯,就拿著一瓶香膏, 38 站在耶穌背後,挨近他的腳哭,眼淚滴濕他的腳,又用自己的頭髮擦乾,不住地吻他的腳,並且抹上香膏。 39 請他的法利賽人看見了,心裡說:“這人若是先知,必定知道摸他的是誰,是怎樣的女人,因為她是個罪人!” 40 耶穌對他說:“西門,我有句話要對你說。”他說:“老師,請說。” 41 耶穌說:“一個債主有兩個債戶,一個欠五百銀幣,一個欠五十。 42 他們都無力償還,債主就把兩人豁免了。他們之中哪一個更愛他呢?” 43 西門回答:“我想是那個多得恩免的。”耶穌說:“你判斷對了。” 44 於是轉身向著那女人,對西門說:“你看見這女人嗎?我進了你的家,你沒有給我水洗腳,但這女人用眼淚濕了我的腳,用頭髮擦乾。 45 你沒有和我親吻;但這女人,自從我進來,就不住地親我的腳。 46 你沒有用油抹我的頭;但這女人用香膏抹我的腳。 47 所以我告訴你,她許多罪都蒙赦免了,因為她的愛多;那赦免少的,愛就少。” 48 耶穌就對她說:“你的罪赦免了。” 49 跟他一起吃飯的人心裡說:“這是誰,竟然赦罪呢?” 50 耶穌對那女人說:“你的信救了你,平安地去吧!”
Luke 7
Christian Standard Bible
A Centurion’s Faith
7 When he had concluded saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum.(A) 2 A centurion’s servant, who was highly valued by him, was sick and about to die. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, requesting him to come and save the life of his servant. 4 When they reached Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to grant this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built us a synagogue.”(B)
6 Jesus went with them, and when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, since I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.[a](C) 8 For I too am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under my command. I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 Jesus heard this and was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found so great a faith even in Israel.” 10 When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
A Widow’s Son Raised to Life
11 Afterward he was on his way to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were traveling with him. 12 Just as he neared the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow.(D) A large crowd from the town was also with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her(E) and said, “Don’t weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched the open coffin, and the pallbearers stopped. And he said, “Young man, I tell you, get up!”(F)
15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.(G) 16 Then fear[b] came over everyone,(H) and they glorified God,(I) saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,”(J) and “God has visited[c] his people.”(K) 17 This report about him went throughout Judea and all the vicinity.
In Praise of John the Baptist
18 Then John’s disciples told him about all these things.(L) So John summoned two of his disciples 19 and sent them to the Lord, asking, “Are you the one(M) who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men reached him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask you, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases,(N) afflictions, and evil spirits,(O) and he granted sight to many blind people.(P) 22 He replied to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy[d] are cleansed, the deaf hear,(Q) the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news,(R) 23 and blessed is the one who isn’t offended by me.”
24 After John’s messengers left, he began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? See, those who are splendidly dressed and live in luxury are in royal palaces. 26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet?(S) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:
28 I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John,[f] but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 (And when all the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they acknowledged God’s way of righteousness, because they had been baptized with John’s baptism.(U) 30 But since the Pharisees and experts in the law(V) had not been baptized by him, they rejected the plan of God for themselves.(W))
An Unresponsive Generation
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to each other:
We played the flute for you,
but you didn’t dance;
we sang a lament,
but you didn’t weep!
33 For John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine,(X) and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’(Y) 35 Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
Much Forgiveness, Much Love
36 Then one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.(Z) 37 And a woman in the town who was a sinner found out that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house.(AA) She brought an alabaster jar of perfume 38 and stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to wash his feet with her tears. She wiped his feet with her hair, kissing them and anointing them with the perfume.(AB)
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him—she’s a sinner!” (AC)
40 Jesus replied to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
He said, “Say it, teacher.”
41 “A creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii,[g](AD) and the other fifty. 42 Since they could not pay it back,(AE) he graciously forgave them both. So, which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon answered, “I suppose the one he forgave more.”
“You have judged correctly,” he told him. 44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet,(AF) but she, with her tears, has washed my feet and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss,(AG) but she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet since I came in. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with olive oil,(AH) but she has anointed my feet with perfume. 47 Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 Then he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AI)
49 Those who were at the table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?” (AJ)
50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you.(AK) Go in peace.”(AL)
