サウルと霊媒師
28 そのころ、ペリシテ人はイスラエルと戦争を始めようとして、軍を召集しました。アキシュ王はダビデとその部下に、「いっしょに出陣してほしい」と頼みました。 2 ダビデは快く承知しました。「いいですとも。仰せのとおりにしましょう。」
「やってくれるか。あなたには今後ずっと、私の護衛を受け持ってもらおう。」
3 同じころ、イスラエルではサムエルが死んで、国中が喪に服していました。サムエルの遺体は故郷の町ラマに葬られました。また、サウル王はイスラエルから霊媒やまじない師を追放していました。
4 さて、ペリシテ人はシュネムに、サウルの率いるイスラエル軍はギルボアに、それぞれ陣を構えました。 5-6 サウルはペリシテ人の大軍を見て、恐ろしさのあまりひどく取り乱し、どうすべきか主に伺いを立てましたが、主は、夢によってもウリム〔神意を伺う一種のくじ〕によっても、また預言者によっても答えませんでした。 7-8 サウルはどうしても伺いを立てたかったので、やむなく、家臣に霊媒のできる女を捜し出してくるよう命じました。エン・ドルに一人の霊媒師がいることがわかりました。サウルは王衣を脱ぎ、ふつうの身なりに着替えて、部下二人を連れ、夜、その女の家に出向きました。
「死んだ人間と話したいのだが、その人の霊を呼び出してくれないか。」
9 「私を殺すつもりかい。知ってるだろう、サウル王が霊媒やまじない師を、片っぱしから追放したことをさ。きっと、あなたたちは私を探りに来たんだね。」
10 そこでサウルは、裏切るようなことは絶対にしないと、厳粛な誓いを立てました。 11 とうとう女も承知しました。「わかったよ、いったいだれを呼び出せばいいんだい。」
「サムエルを呼び出してくれ。」
12 霊媒の女はサムエルの姿を見たとたん、大声で叫びました。「よくもだましてくれたね。あんたはサウル王じゃないか。」
13 「恐れる必要はない。さあ、何が見えるんだ。」
「神のような方が地から上って来ます。」
14 「どんな様子だ。」
「外套をまとった老人です。」
サムエルです。サウルはその前にひれ伏しました。
15 サムエルは尋ねました。「どうして私を呼び出したりして、煩わすのか。」
「私はもう、途方にくれているのです。ペリシテ人が攻めて来るのに、主は私をお見捨てになり、預言者によっても、夢によっても答えてくださいません。思いあぐねて、あなたをお呼びしたのです。」
16 「主があなたから離れ、敵となってしまわれたのに、なぜ私に尋ねるのだ。 17 主は、予告どおりのことをなさったまでだ。あなたから王位を取り去り、対抗するダビデにお与えになった。 18 こうなったのもみな、あなたがあの時、アマレクに激しい怒りを向けておられた主のご命令を踏みにじったからだ。 19 そればかりではない、明日、イスラエル軍は総くずれとなり、ペリシテ人の手で滅ぼされるだろう。あなたも息子たちも、私といっしょになるだろう。」
20 サウルは地面に棒のように倒れてしまいました。サムエルのことばを聞いて、恐怖のあまり卒倒したのです。それに丸一日、食べ物を何も口にしていなかったのです。 21 霊媒の女はサウルが錯乱しているのを見て言いました。「王様。私は、いのちがけでご命令に従ったのです。 22 今度はこちらの言うとおりにしてください。食べる物を差し上げますから、それで元気を取り戻してお帰りください。」
23 王は首を横に振りました。しかし、供の者たちもいっしょになってしきりに勧めたので、ついに折れ、起き上がって床に座りました。 24 その家には、太った子牛がいました。女は急いで子牛を料理し、小麦粉をこねてパン種を入れないパンを焼きました。 25 料理が運ばれると、一行は食事をし、夜のうちに立ち去りました。

1 Samuel 28
New International Version
28 In those days the Philistines gathered(A) their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army.”
2 David said, “Then you will see for yourself what your servant can do.”
Achish replied, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard(B) for life.”
Saul and the Medium at Endor
3 Now Samuel was dead,(C) and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah.(D) Saul had expelled(E) the mediums and spiritists(F) from the land.
4 The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem,(G) while Saul gathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa.(H) 5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror(I) filled his heart. 6 He inquired(J) of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams(K) or Urim(L) or prophets.(M) 7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium,(N) so I may go and inquire of her.”
“There is one in Endor,(O)” they said.
8 So Saul disguised(P) himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult(Q) a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
9 But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off(R) the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap(S) for my life to bring about my death?”
10 Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”
11 Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?”
“Bring up Samuel,” he said.
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me?(T) You are Saul!”
13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?”
The woman said, “I see a ghostly figure[a] coming up out of the earth.”(U)
14 “What does he look like?” he asked.
“An old man wearing a robe(V) is coming up,” she said.
Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”
“I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed(W) from me. He no longer answers(X) me, either by prophets or by dreams.(Y) So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
16 Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn(Z) the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey(AA) the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath(AB) against the Amalekites,(AC) the Lord has done this to you today. 19 The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons(AD) will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.
21 When the woman came to Saul and saw that he was greatly shaken, she said, “Look, your servant has obeyed you. I took my life(AE) in my hands and did what you told me to do. 22 Now please listen to your servant and let me give you some food so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
23 He refused(AF) and said, “I will not eat.”
But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch.
24 The woman had a fattened calf(AG) at the house, which she butchered at once. She took some flour, kneaded it and baked bread without yeast. 25 Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.

1 Samuel 28
King James Version
1 Samuel 28
King James Version
28 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.
2 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17 And the Lord hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.
19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

ペリシテ軍からの離脱
29 さて、ペリシテ軍はアフェクに集結し、イスラエル軍はイズレエルにある泉のほとりに陣を張りました。 2 ペリシテ軍の隊長たちは大隊や中隊を率いて進軍し、ダビデとその配下の者たちはアキシュ王を守ってしんがりを務めました。 3 しかしペリシテ人の指揮官たちは、「このイスラエル人どもは、いったいどうしたのです」と王にただし始めたのです。するとアキシュ王は、「イスラエルの王サウルの家来ダビデだ。私のもとに落ち延びて、一、二年になるが、今日まで一つもやましい点はなかった」と弁護しました。 4 しかし、指揮官たちは腹を立てるばかりです。「追い返してください！ 彼らがいっしょに戦うはずはありません。せいぜい裏切るのが落ちです。戦場で向こうに寝返れば、彼は主君と手打ちする絶好のチャンスなのですよ。 5 イスラエルの女が踊りながら、『サウルは千人を殺し、ダビデは一万人を殺した』と歌ったのは、この人のことですから。」
6 とうとうアキシュは、ダビデたちを呼んで、こう言い渡さなければなりませんでした。「主に誓って言うが、あなたたちは、私がこれまで会った中でも、ことにすぐれた面々である。ぜひ行動を共にしてもらいたかったが、あの指揮官どもが承知しないのだ。 7 彼らを刺激してはまずい。ここは穏やかに引き返してくれないか。」
8 「いったい私たちが何をしたのでしょう。引き返せとはあんまりです。どうして、あなたの敵と戦わせていただけないのでしょうか。」
9 しかし、アキシュ王は首を振りました。「私が知る限り、あなたは神の使いのように完璧だ。だが、あの指揮官どもは、いっしょに戦場に臨むのを恐れているのだ。 10 明日の朝、早く起きて、夜明けとともに出立してくれ。」
11 そこで、ダビデは自分の部隊を率いてペリシテ人の地へ帰りました。一方、ペリシテ軍はイズレエルへと進軍しました。

Achish Sends David Back to Ziklag
29 The Philistines gathered(A) all their forces at Aphek,(B) and Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.(C) 2 As the Philistine rulers marched with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were marching at the rear(D) with Achish. 3 The commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?”
Achish replied, “Is this not David,(E) who was an officer of Saul king of Israel? He has already been with me for over a year,(F) and from the day he left Saul until now, I have found no fault in him.”
4 But the Philistine commanders were angry with Achish and said, “Send(G) the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He must not go with us into battle, or he will turn(H) against us during the fighting. How better could he regain his master’s favor than by taking the heads of our own men? 5 Isn’t this the David they sang about in their dances:
“‘Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands’?”(I)
6 So Achish called David and said to him, “As surely as the Lord lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day(J) you came to me until today, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers(K) don’t approve of you. 7 Now turn back and go in peace; do nothing to displease the Philistine rulers.”
8 “But what have I done?” asked David. “What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can’t I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
9 Achish answered, “I know that you have been as pleasing in my eyes as an angel(L) of God; nevertheless, the Philistine commanders(M) have said, ‘He must not go up with us into battle.’ 10 Now get up early, along with your master’s servants who have come with you, and leave(N) in the morning as soon as it is light.”
11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

29 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish.
3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?
4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
5 Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
6 Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the Lord liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
7 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
8 And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
10 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
11 So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

109 ああ、すばらしい神よ、
そんなに遠くで黙っていないでください。
2 悪者どもは私を中傷し、偽りばかり並べ立てています。
3 理由もないのに私を憎み、
攻めかかって来るのです。
4 私は彼らを愛し祈っているのに、
私のいのちをつけねらうのです。
5 善の代わりに悪を、愛の代わりに憎しみを
返してよこします。
6 私がどんな気持ちでいるか、敵に知らせてください。
彼に、ありもしないうわさが立てられますように。
彼が不公平な裁判官のいる法廷に
引き出されますように。
7 そして、有罪宣告が下されますように。
彼の祈りさえも、罪とみなされますように。
8 彼の寿命は縮まり、
彼の仕事はほかの者に奪われますように。
9-10 彼の子どもは父なし子に、妻は未亡人になり、
荒れ果てた家から立ち退きを命じられますように。
11 債権者に全財産を没収され、見も知らぬ者に、
たくわえをみな巻き上げられますように。
12-13 誰ひとり同情せず、残された彼の子どもにも
あわれみをかけてやりませんように。
一家の者が死に絶え、
その家系が一代でとだえますように。
14 両親の罪まで見のがさず、徹底して罰してください。
15 彼のした悪事をかた時も忘れず、
その名を人々の記憶から消し去ってください。
16 彼は人を思いやる気持ちなどみじんも持たず、
困っている人を虐待し、
傷心の者を死に追いやったからです。
17 人をのろうことばかりしていた彼を、
今度は、あなたがのろってください。
一度も人を祝福したことがない彼に、
祝福をお与えにならないでください。
18 彼にとってのろうことは、
水を飲んだり、好きな物を口にしたりするのと同様に、
体にしみついているのです。
19 今度は、そののろいが舞い戻って来て、
彼にからみつきますように。
20 それこそ、私のことでうその証言をし、
殺してやると言って脅した敵への、
主からの刑罰なのです。
21 しかし神である主よ、
私のことは、あなたの子として扱ってください。
どうか、優しいお心をかけてください。
ああ、限りなく恵み深いお方よ、
どうか救い出してください。
22-23 私は、まっさかさまに
谷へ落ちて行くような心境です。
人の腕から払いのけられるいなごのようです。
24 断食のため、ひざが弱くなり始め、
体は骨と皮になりました。
25 まるで失敗の見本でも見るように、
人々は私をあざけります。
26 愛と真実に満ちた神である主よ、
どうかお救いください。
27 人々の目の前で私に救いの手を
差し伸べてくださるなら、
きっとだれもが、
あなたこそ力ある神であることを知るでしょう。
28 彼らは、のろいたいだけのろえばよいのです。
あなたの祝福さえあれば、私は何も気にしません。
私を亡き者にしようとする彼らの努力は水の泡となり、
私は喜びながら出歩けるようになります。
29 彼らは何をしても失敗し、恥じ入りますように。
30 しかし、私は絶えず主に感謝をささげ、
あらゆる人々の前で賛美します。
31 主は、飢えている貧しい者の味方となって、
敵の手から救ってくださるからです。

Psalm 109
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 My God, whom I praise,(A)
do not remain silent,(B)
2 for people who are wicked and deceitful(C)
have opened their mouths against me;
they have spoken against me with lying tongues.(D)
3 With words of hatred(E) they surround me;
they attack me without cause.(F)
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.(G)
5 They repay me evil for good,(H)
and hatred for my friendship.
6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser(I) stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,(J)
and may his prayers condemn(K) him.
8 May his days be few;(L)
may another take his place(M) of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.(N)
10 May his children be wandering beggars;(O)
may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor(P) seize all he has;
may strangers plunder(Q) the fruits of his labor.(R)
12 May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity(S) on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,(T)
their names blotted out(U) from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers(V) be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before(W) the Lord,
that he may blot out their name(X) from the earth.
16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
but hounded to death the poor
and the needy(Y) and the brokenhearted.(Z)
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come back on him.(AA)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing(AB) as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,(AC)
into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped(AD) about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment(AE) to my accusers,
to those who speak evil(AF) of me.
21 But you, Sovereign Lord,
help me for your name’s sake;(AG)
out of the goodness of your love,(AH) deliver me.(AI)
22 For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow;(AJ)
I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees give(AK) way from fasting;(AL)
my body is thin and gaunt.(AM)
25 I am an object of scorn(AN) to my accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads.(AO)
26 Help me,(AP) Lord my God;
save me according to your unfailing love.
27 Let them know(AQ) that it is your hand,
that you, Lord, have done it.
28 While they curse,(AR) may you bless;
may those who attack me be put to shame,
but may your servant rejoice.(AS)
29 May my accusers be clothed with disgrace
and wrapped in shame(AT) as in a cloak.

Psalm 109
King James Version
109 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

11 イエスは、十二人の弟子たちにこのような指示を与えると、ご自分も教え、宣べ伝えるために、彼らが行くことになっていた町々へお出かけになりました。
ヨハネとイエスの違い
2 さて、そのころ牢獄にいたバプテスマのヨハネは、キリストがさまざまな奇跡を行っておられることを聞きました。そこで、弟子たちをイエスのもとに送り、 3 「あなたはほんとうに、私たちの待ち続けてきたお方ですか。それとも、まだ別の方を待たなければならないのでしょうか」と尋ねさせました。
4 イエスは答えて言われました。「ヨハネのところに帰り、わたしの行っている奇跡について、見たままを話しなさい。 5 盲人は見えるようになり、足の立たなかった者が今は自分で歩けるようになり、ツァラアトの人が治り、耳の聞こえなかった人も聞こえ、死人が生き返り、そして、貧しい人々が福音を聞いていることなどを。 6 それから、こう伝えるのです。『わたしを疑わない人は幸いです。』」
7 ヨハネの弟子たちが帰ってしまうと、イエスは群衆に、ヨハネのことを話し始められました。「あなたがたはヨハネに会おうと荒野へ出かけて行った時、彼をどんな人物だと考えていましたか。風にそよぐ葦のような人だとでも思っていたのですか。 8 それとも宮殿に住む王子のように、きらびやかに着飾った人に会えるとでも思ったのですか。 9 あるいは、神の預言者に会えると期待していたのですか。そのとおり彼は預言者です。いや、それ以上の者です。 10 彼こそ、聖書の中で、『見よ。わたしはあなたより先に使者を送る。その使者は、人々にあなたを迎え入れる準備をさせる』（マラキ3・1）と言われている、その人です。
11 よく言っておきます。今までに生まれた人の中で、バプテスマのヨハネほどすぐれた働きをした人はいません。しかし、神の国で一番小さい者でも、ヨハネよりずっと偉大なのです。 12 ヨハネが教えを宣べ伝え、バプテスマ（洗礼）を授け始めてから現在まで、多くの熱心な人々が天国を目指して押し寄せました。 13 すべての律法と預言者（旧約聖書を指す）とは、メシヤ（救い主）を待ち望んできたからです。そして、ヨハネが現れました。 14 ですから、わたしの言うことを喜んで理解しようとする人なら、ヨハネこそ、天国が来る前に現れると言われていた、あの預言者エリヤだとわかるでしょう。 15 さあ、聞く耳のある人は聞きなさい。
16 あなたがたイスラエル人のことを、何と言えばいいでしょう。まるで小さな子どものようです。あなたがたは友達同士で遊びながら、こう責めているのです。 17 『結婚式ごっこをして遊ぼうと言ったのに、ちっともうれしがってくれなかった。だから葬式ごっこにしたのに、今度は悲しがってくれなかった。』 18 つまり、バプテスマのヨハネが酒も飲まず、また何度も断食していると、『あいつは気が変になっている』とけなし、 19 メシヤのわたしがごちそうを食べていると、『大食いの大酒飲み、最もたちの悪い罪人の仲間だ』とののしります。もっとも、賢いあなたがたのことですから、うまくつじつまを合わせるでしょうが、知恵が正しいかどうかは、行いによって証明されるのです。」
わたしのところに来なさい
20 それからイエスは、多くの奇跡を目のあたりに見ながら、それでも、神に立ち返ろうとしなかった町々を責められました。
21 「ああ、コラジンよ。ああ、ベツサイダよ。わたしがあなたがたの街頭で行ったような奇跡を、あの邪悪な町ツロやシドン（悪行のため、神に滅ぼされた町）で見せたなら、そこの人々は、とうの昔に恥じ入り、へりくだって悔い改めていたでしょうに。 22 いいですか、さばきの日にはツロとシドンのほうが、あなたがたよりまだましなものとされるのです。 23 ああ、カペナウムよ。大きな名誉を受けたあなたも、地獄にまで突き落とされるのです。あなたのところでしたすばらしい奇跡を、もしあのソドムで見せたなら、ソドムは滅ぼされずにすんだでしょうに。 24 いいですか、さばきの日には、ソドムのほうがあなたより、まだましなものとされるのです。」
25 そして、こう祈られました。「ああ、天地の主である父よ。自分を賢いとうぬぼれる者たちには、あなたの真理を隠し、それを小さな子どもたちに示してくださって、ありがとうございます。 26 父よ。これが、お心にかなったことでした。
27 あなたは、すべてのことを、わたしに任せてくださいました。わたしを知っておられるのは、父であるあなただけですし、あなたを知っているのは、子であるわたしと、わたしが教える人たちだけです。
28 重い束縛を受けて、疲れはてている人たちよ。さあ、わたしのところに来なさい。あなたがたを休ませてあげましょう。 29 わたしはやさしく、謙遜な者ですから、負いやすいわたしのくびきを、わたしといっしょに負って、わたしの教えを受けなさい。そうすれば、あなたがたのたましいは安らかになります。 30 わたしが与えるのは軽い荷だけだからです。」

Jesus and John the Baptist(A)
11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples,(B) he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.[a]
2 When John,(C) who was in prison,(D) heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come,(E) or should we expect someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(F) 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”(G)
7 As John’s(H) disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness(I) to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet?(J) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,[d] and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.(M) 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.(N) 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.(O)
16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 “‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating(P) nor drinking,(Q) and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(R) But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Woe on Unrepentant Towns(S)
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!(T) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,(U) they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.(V) 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.(W) 23 And you, Capernaum,(X) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[e](Y) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”(Z)
The Father Revealed in the Son(AA)
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,(AB) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AC) 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
27 “All things have been committed to me(AD) by my Father.(AE) No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.(AF)
28 “Come to me,(AG) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(AH) 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,(AI) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.(AJ) 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”(AK)

King James Version
11 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
