马太福音 18
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
天国里谁最大(A)
18 那时,门徒前来问耶稣:“天国里谁是最大的呢?” 2 耶稣叫了一个小孩子站在他们当中,说: 3 “我实在告诉你们,如果你们不回转,变成像小孩子一样,一定不能进天国。 4 所以,凡谦卑像这小孩子的,他在天国里是最大的。 5 凡因我的名接待一个这样的小孩子的,就是接待我; 6 但无论谁使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪,倒不如拿一块大磨石拴在他的颈项上,把他沉在深海里。
坚拒使人犯罪(B)
7 “这世界有祸了,因为充满使人犯罪的事。这些事是免不了的,但那使人犯罪的有祸了! 8 如果你的一只手或一只脚使你犯罪,就把它砍下来丢掉;你一只手或一只脚进永生,总比有两只手或两只脚被投进永火里好。 9 如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪,就把它挖出来丢掉;你一只眼睛进永生,总比有两只眼睛被投进地狱的火里好。
迷羊的比喻(C)
10 “你们要小心,不要轻视这些小弟兄中的一个。我告诉你们,他们的使者在天上,常常见到我天父的面。(有些抄本有第11节:“人子来,是要拯救失丧的人。”) 12 你们认为怎样?有一个人,他有一百只羊,如果失了一只,他会不把九十九只留在山上,去寻找那迷失的吗? 13 我实在告诉你们,他若找到了,就为这一只羊欢喜,胜过为那九十九只没有迷失的。 14 照样,你们在天上的父是不愿意这些小弟兄中有一个失丧的。
怎样对待犯了罪的弟兄
15 “如果你的弟兄犯了罪(“犯了罪”有些抄本作“得罪你”),你趁着和他单独在一起的时候,要去指出他的过失来。如果他肯听,你就得着你的弟兄。 16 如果他不肯听,就另外带一两个人同去,好使一切话,凭两三个证人的口,可以确定。 17 如果他再不听,就告诉教会;如果连教会他也不听,就把他看作教外人和税吏吧。
18 “我实在告诉你们,你们在地上捆绑的,在天上也被捆绑;你们在地上释放的,在天上也被释放。 19 我又告诉你们,你们当中若有两个人,在地上同心为甚么事祈求,我在天上的父必为他们成全。 20 因为无论在哪里,有两三个人奉我的名聚会,我就在他们中间。”
不饶恕人的也得不着饶恕
21 那时,彼得前来问耶稣:“主啊,如果我的弟兄得罪我,我要饶恕他多少次?七次吗?” 22 耶稣对他说:“我告诉你,不是七次,而是七十个七次(“七十个七次”或译:“七十七次”)。 23 因此,天国好象一个王,要和他的仆人算帐, 24 刚算的时候,有人带了一个欠下六千万银币的人来。 25 他没有钱偿还,主人就下令叫人把他和他的妻子儿女,以及一切所有的都卖掉,用来偿还。 26 那仆人就跪下拜他,说:‘请宽容我,我会把一切还给你的。’ 27 主人动了慈心,把那仆人放了,并且免了他的债。 28 那仆人出来,遇见一个欠了他一百个银币的仆人,就抓住他,扼着他的喉咙,说:‘把你欠我的钱还给我。’ 29 那和他一同作仆人的就跪下求他,说:‘请宽容我,我会还给你的。’ 30 他却不肯,反而把他带走,关在监里,等他把所欠的还清。 31 其他的仆人看见这事,非常难过,就去向主人报告这一切事情。 32 于是主人叫他来,对他说:‘你这个恶仆,你求我,我就免了你欠我的一切。 33 难道你不应该怜悯你的同伴,好象我怜悯你一样吗?’ 34 于是主人大怒,把他送去服刑,等他把所欠的一切还清。 35 如果你们各人不从心里饶恕你的弟兄,我的天父也必这样待你们。”
馬太福音 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
天國裡誰最偉大
18 這時,門徒上前來,問耶穌:「在天國誰最偉大?」
2 耶穌叫了一個小孩子來站在他們當中,然後說: 3 「我實在告訴你們,你們若不變得像小孩子那樣,絕不能進天國。 4 所以,凡像這小孩子一樣謙卑的人,在天國才是最偉大的。
5 「任何人為了我的名而接待這樣一個小孩子,就是接待了我。 6 但不論誰使這樣一個小信徒失足犯罪,他的下場比把大磨石拴在他脖子上沉到深海裡還要慘。 7 這世界有禍了!因為裡面充滿了引人犯罪的事。這樣的事是免不了的,但那些引人犯罪的人有禍了!
8 「如果你的手或腳使你犯罪,就砍掉它!因為肢體殘缺著進入永生,總比四肢健全卻被丟進永遠不滅的火中好。 9 如果你的一隻眼睛使你犯罪,就剜出來丟掉它吧!獨眼進入永生,總比雙目健全卻被丟進地獄的火中好。 10 你們切不可輕視任何一位卑微的人。我告訴你們,他們的天使在天上常見我天父的面。
迷失的羊
11 「人子到世界來,為要拯救迷失的人。 12 如果一個人有一百隻羊,其中有一隻走迷了路,他會怎麼辦呢?難道不會把那九十九隻撇在山上,去找那隻迷失的羊嗎? 13 我實在告訴你們,如果找到了,他會非常歡喜,甚至比有那九十九隻沒有迷失的羊還歡喜。 14 同樣,你們的天父也不願任何一個卑微的人失喪。
糾正信徒的過錯
15 「如果你的弟兄得罪了你,你要找個機會跟他單獨在一起,指出他的錯處。如果他肯接受勸告,你就得了一位弟兄。 16 如果他不聽勸告,你就帶一兩位弟兄去見他,讓兩三個人為談話作證。 17 如果他仍然不聽,就應當告訴教會。如果他連教會也不聽,就把他看作異教徒或稅吏[a]。 18 我實在告訴你們,你們在地上捆綁的,在天上也要捆綁;你們在地上釋放的,在天上也要釋放。
19 「我又告訴你們,如果你們當中有兩個人在地上同心合意地祈求,不論求什麼,我天上的父必為你們成就。 20 因為哪裡有兩三個人奉我的名聚會,我就在哪裡與他們同在。」
七十個七次
21 彼得上前問耶穌:「主啊,如果我的弟兄得罪了我,我該饒恕他多少次呢?七次夠了吧?」
22 耶穌回答說:「我告訴你,不是七次,是七十個七次。
23 「因此,天國就像一個王,他要跟奴僕清算債務。 24 正開始清算的時候,有人帶著一個欠了六千萬銀幣[b]的人進來。 25 因為這個人無法清還債款,王就下令把他及其妻兒和所有財產全部賣掉還債。 26 那奴僕跪在王面前乞求說,『請寬容我,我會把債務全部還清的。』 27 王可憐他,不但釋放了他,而且免了他全部的債。
28 「可是,那奴僕出去後,遇見一位欠他一百個銀幣[c]的同伴,就揪住同伴,掐著他的喉嚨說,『還我錢!』 29 同伴跪下哀求道,『請寬容我,我會還你的。』
30 「那奴僕卻不肯,竟把同伴送進監獄,直到他還清債務為止。 31 其他的奴僕目睹這一切,都憤憤不平,把這件事告訴了王。
32 「於是,王把那奴僕召來,說,『你這可惡的奴才!你哀求我,我就免了你所有的債。 33 難道你不應該憐憫你的同伴,就像我憐憫你一樣嗎?』 34 王大怒,下令把他交給獄卒受刑,直到他還清全部的債務。 35 如果你們不從心裡饒恕自己的弟兄,我的天父也要這樣對待你們。」

天国里谁最伟大
18 这时,门徒上前来,问耶稣:“在天国谁最伟大?”
2 耶稣叫了一个小孩子来站在他们当中,然后说: 3 “我实在告诉你们,你们若不变得像小孩子那样,绝不能进天国。 4 所以,凡像这小孩子一样谦卑的人,在天国才是最伟大的。
5 “任何人为了我的名而接待这样一个小孩子,就是接待了我。 6 但不论谁使这样一个小信徒失足犯罪,他的下场比把大磨石拴在他脖子上沉到深海里还要惨。 7 这世界有祸了!因为里面充满了引人犯罪的事。这样的事是免不了的,但那些引人犯罪的人有祸了!
8 “如果你的手或脚使你犯罪,就砍掉它!因为肢体残缺着进入永生,总比四肢健全却被丢进永远不灭的火中好。 9 如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪,就剜出来丢掉它吧!独眼进入永生,总比双目健全却被丢进地狱的火中好。 10 你们切不可轻视任何一位卑微的人。我告诉你们,他们的天使在天上常见我天父的面。
迷失的羊
11 “人子到世界来,为要拯救迷失的人。 12 如果一个人有一百只羊,其中有一只走迷了路,他会怎么办呢?难道不会把那九十九只撇在山上,去找那只迷失的羊吗? 13 我实在告诉你们,如果找到了,他会非常欢喜,甚至比有那九十九只没有迷失的羊还欢喜。 14 同样,你们的天父也不愿任何一个卑微的人失丧。
纠正信徒的过错
15 “如果你的弟兄得罪了你,你要找个机会跟他单独在一起,指出他的错处。如果他肯接受劝告,你就得了一位弟兄。 16 如果他不听劝告,你就带一两位弟兄去见他,让两三个人为谈话作证。 17 如果他仍然不听,就应当告诉教会。如果他连教会也不听,就把他看作异教徒或税吏[a]。 18 我实在告诉你们,你们在地上捆绑的,在天上也要捆绑;你们在地上释放的,在天上也要释放。
19 “我又告诉你们,如果你们当中有两个人在地上同心合意地祈求,不论求什么,我天上的父必为你们成就。 20 因为哪里有两三个人奉我的名聚会,我就在哪里与他们同在。”
七十个七次
21 彼得上前问耶稣:“主啊,如果我的弟兄得罪了我,我该饶恕他多少次呢?七次够了吧?”
22 耶稣回答说:“我告诉你,不是七次,是七十个七次。
23 “因此,天国就像一个王,他要跟奴仆清算债务。 24 正开始清算的时候,有人带着一个欠了六千万银币[b]的人进来。 25 因为这个人无法清还债款,王就下令把他及其妻儿和所有财产全部卖掉还债。 26 那奴仆跪在王面前乞求说,‘请宽容我,我会把债务全部还清的。’ 27 王可怜他,不但释放了他,而且免了他全部的债。
28 “可是,那奴仆出去后,遇见一位欠他一百个银币[c]的同伴,就揪住同伴,掐着他的喉咙说,‘还我钱!’ 29 同伴跪下哀求道,‘请宽容我,我会还你的。’
30 “那奴仆却不肯,竟把同伴送进监狱,直到他还清债务为止。 31 其他的奴仆目睹这一切,都愤愤不平,把这件事告诉了王。
32 “于是,王把那奴仆召来,说,‘你这可恶的奴才!你哀求我,我就免了你所有的债。 33 难道你不应该怜悯你的同伴,就像我怜悯你一样吗?’ 34 王大怒,下令把他交给狱卒受刑,直到他还清全部的债务。 35 如果你们不从心里饶恕自己的弟兄,我的天父也要这样对待你们。”
Matthew 18
English Standard Version
Who Is the Greatest?
18 (A)At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you (B)turn and (C)become like children, you (D)will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 (E)Whoever humbles himself like this child is the (F)greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 (G)“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6 but (H)whoever causes one of these (I)little ones who believe in me to sin,[a] it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Temptations to Sin
7 “Woe to the world for (J)temptations to sin![b] (K)For it is necessary that temptations come, (L)but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! 8 (M)And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into (N)the eternal fire. 9 (O)And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the (P)hell[c] of fire.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
10 “See that you do not despise (Q)one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven (R)their angels always (S)see the face of my Father who is in heaven.[d] 12 (T)What do you think? (U)If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13 And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. 14 So (V)it is not the will of my[e] Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
If Your Brother Sins Against You
15 (W)“If your brother sins against you, (X)go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have (Y)gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established (Z)by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, (AA)tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, (AB)let him be to you as (AC)a Gentile and (AD)a tax collector. 18 Truly, I say to you, (AE)whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[f] in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you (AF)agree on earth about anything they ask, (AG)it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are (AH)gathered in my name, (AI)there am I among them.”
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often (AJ)will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? (AK)As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g]
23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished (AL)to settle accounts with his servants.[h] 24 When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him (AM)ten thousand (AN)talents.[i] 25 (AO)And since he could not pay, his master ordered him (AP)to be sold, with his wife and (AQ)children and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant[j] (AR)fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ 27 And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and (AS)forgave him the debt. 28 But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred (AT)denarii,[k] and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30 He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. 31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. 32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 (AU)And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 (AV)And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,[l] (AW)until he should pay all his debt. 35 (AX)So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother (AY)from your heart.”
