路加福音 11
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求就必得着(A)
11 有一天，耶稣在一个地方祈祷，祈祷完了，有一个门徒对他说：“主啊，求你教导我们祷告，像约翰教导他的门徒一样。” 2 耶稣说：“你们祷告的时候，要说：
‘父啊，愿你的名被尊为圣，
愿你的国降临（有些抄本在此有“愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上”一句）；
3 我们需用的食物，
求你每天赐给我们；
4 赦免我们的罪，
因为我们也饶恕所有亏负我们的人；
不要让我们陷入试探（有些抄本在此有“救我们脱离那恶者”一句）。’”
5 耶稣又对他们说：“你们当中，谁有朋友半夜去找他，说：‘请你借给我三个饼， 6 因为我有一个朋友旅行来到我这里，我没有甚么可以招待他。’ 7 而他却在里面回答：‘不要麻烦我，门已经关好了，孩子也跟我在床上了，我不能起来拿给你。’ 8 我告诉你们，即使不因为他是朋友而起来给他，也会因为他厚颜地直求，而起来照他所需要的给他。 9 我又告诉你们，你们祈求，就给你们；寻找，就寻见；叩门，就给你们开门。 10 因为所有祈求的就得着，寻找的就寻见，叩门的就给他开门。 11 你们中间作父亲的，哪有儿子求鱼，反拿蛇当作鱼给他呢？ 12 或求鸡蛋，反给他蝎子呢？ 13 你们虽然不好，尚且知道把好东西给自己的儿女，何况天父，岂不更把圣灵赐给求他的人吗？”
耶稣靠 神的能力赶鬼(B)
14 耶稣赶出一个哑巴鬼，鬼既出去，哑巴就说起话来，众人都希奇。 15 有人说：“他靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼。” 16 又有人试探他，向他求一个从天上来的神迹。 17 耶稣知道他们的心意，就对他们说：“如果一个国家自相纷争，就必定荒凉；如果一个家庭自相为敌，就必然败落。 18 如果撒但自相纷争，他的国怎能站立得住呢？你们说我靠别西卜赶鬼， 19 我若靠别西卜赶鬼，你们的子孙赶鬼又靠谁呢？因此，他们必要作你们的审判官。 20 我若靠 神的能力赶鬼，这就是 神的国临到你们了。 21 一个壮汉拿着武器，看守自己的家园，他的家财就平安无事。 22 但是一个比他更强的人来了，胜过了他，夺去他所倚靠的武器，就把他的家财当作掠物分了。 23 不站在我这一边的就是反对我的；不跟从一起收聚的就是分散的。
污灵去而复返的教训(C)
24 “一个污灵离开了一个人，走遍干旱之地，寻找栖身的地方，却没有找到，就说：‘我要回到我从前离开了的那房子。’ 25 到了之后，看见里面已经打扫干净，粉饰好了， 26 他就去带了另外七个比自己更恶的污灵来，进去住在那里；那人后来的情况，比以前更坏了。”
约拿的神迹(D)
27 耶稣正说这些话的时候，群众中有一个女人高声对他说：“怀你胎的和哺养你的有福了！” 28 他说：“是的，却还不如听 神的道而遵守的人有福。” 29 众人聚集的时候，耶稣就说：“这世代是个邪恶的世代。这世代寻求神迹，可是除了约拿的神迹以外，再没有神迹给他们了。 30 约拿怎样成了尼尼微人的神迹，人子也照样成为这个世代的神迹。 31 审判的时候，南方的女王要和这世代的人一同起来，她要定他们的罪，因为她从地极来到，要听所罗门智慧的话。你看，这里有一位是比所罗门更大的。 32 审判的时候，尼尼微人要和这世代的人一同起来，他们要定这个世代的罪，因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了。你看，这里有一位是比约拿更大的。
里面的光(E)
33 “没有人点了灯，把它放在地窖里，或量器底下，却放在灯台上，叫进来的人看得见光。 34 你的眼睛就是你身体的灯，你的眼睛健全，全身就明亮；如果不健全，全身就黑暗。 35 所以要谨慎，免得你里面的光黑暗了。 36 你若全身明亮，没有一点黑暗，你就完全明亮，好象明亮的灯光照你一样。”
法利赛人和律法师有祸了(F)
37 耶稣说话的时候，有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他一起吃饭；他就进去坐席。 38 这个法利赛人见耶稣吃饭之前不洗手，觉得奇怪。 39 主对他说：“你们法利赛人把杯盘的外面洗净，但你们里面却充满了抢夺和邪恶。 40 无知的人哪，那造外面的，不也造里面吗？ 41 只要把里面的施舍出去，你们的一切就都洁净了。 42 然而你们法利赛人有祸了！因为你们把薄荷、茴香和各样菜蔬献上十分之一，却把公义和爱 神的事疏忽了；这些是你们应当作的，但其他的也不可疏忽。 43 你们法利赛人有祸了！因为你们喜爱会堂里的高位和人在巿中心的问安。 44 你们有祸了！因为你们好象不显露的坟墓，走在上面的人并不知道。”
45 律法师中有一个回答他：“老师，你这样说，把我们也侮辱了！” 46 耶稣说：“你们律法师也有祸了，因为你们把难担的担子叫人担，自己连一个指头也不动。 47 你们有祸了！因为你们修造先知的坟墓，而那些先知正是你们祖先所杀的， 48 这样，你们就成了证人，对你们祖先的作为表示同意；他们杀害先知，你们修造先知的坟墓。 49 所以， 神的智慧说：‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去，有的他们要杀害，有的他们要迫害， 50-51 为要使创世以来众先知所流的血，从亚伯的血起，直到在祭坛和圣所之间受害的撒迦利亚的血为止，都向这一代追讨。’是的，我告诉你们，都要向这一代追讨。 52 你们律法师有祸了！因为你们拿去知识的钥匙，自己不进去，又阻止要进去的人。” 53 耶稣从那里出来，经学家和法利赛人非常敌视他，质问他很多问题， 54 等机会从他的口中找把柄。
Luke 11
Easy-to-Read Version
Jesus Teaches About Prayer(A)
11 One time Jesus was out praying, and when he finished, one of his followers said to him, “John taught his followers how to pray. Lord, teach us how to pray too.”
2 Jesus said to the followers, “This is how you should pray:
‘Father, we pray that your name will always be kept holy.
We pray that your kingdom will come.
3 Give us the food we need for each day.
4 Forgive our sins,
just as we forgive everyone who has done wrong to us.
And don’t let us be tempted.’”
Ask God for What You Need(B)
5-6 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you went to your friend’s house very late at night and said to him, ‘A friend of mine has come into town to visit me. But I have nothing for him to eat. Please give me three loaves of bread.’ 7 Your friend inside the house answers, ‘Go away! Don’t bother me! The door is already locked. My children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give you the bread now.’ 8 I tell you, maybe friendship is not enough to make him get up to give you the bread. But he will surely get up to give you what you need if you continue to ask. 9 So I tell you, continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you. 10 Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them. 11 Do any of you have a son? What would you do if your son asked you for a fish? Would any father give him a snake? 12 Or, if he asked for an egg, would you give him a scorpion? Of course not! 13 Even you who are bad know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father knows how to give the Holy Spirit to the people who ask him.”
Jesus’ Power Is From God(C)
14 One time Jesus was sending a demon out of a man who could not talk. When the demon came out, the man was able to speak. The crowds were amazed. 15 But some of the people said, “He uses the power of Satan[a] to force demons out of people. Satan is the ruler of demons.”
16 Some others there wanted to test Jesus. They asked him to do a miracle as a sign from God. 17 But he knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. And a family that fights against itself will break apart. 18 So if Satan is fighting against himself, how will his kingdom survive? You say that I use the power of Satan to force out demons. 19 But if I use Satan’s power to force out demons, then what power do your people use when they force out demons? So your own people will prove that you are wrong. 20 But I use the power of God to force out demons. This shows that God’s kingdom has now come to you.
21 “When a strong man with many weapons guards his own house, the things in his house are safe. 22 But suppose a stronger man comes and defeats him. The stronger man will take away the weapons that the first man trusted to keep his house safe. Then the stronger man will do what he wants with the other man’s things.
23 “Whoever is not with me is against me. And anyone who does not work with me is working against me.
The Danger of Emptiness(D)
24 “When an evil spirit comes out of someone, it travels through dry places, looking for a place to rest. But it finds no place to rest. So it says, ‘I will go back to the home I left.’ 25 When it comes back, it finds that home all neat and clean. 26 Then the evil spirit goes out and brings back seven other spirits more evil than itself. They all go and live there, and that person has even more trouble than before.”
The People God Blesses
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman with the people there called out to him, “Blessings from God belong to the woman who gave birth to you and fed you!”
28 But Jesus said, “The people who hear the teaching of God and obey it—they are the ones who have God’s blessing.”
Some People Doubt Jesus’ Authority(E)
29 The crowd grew larger and larger. Jesus said, “The people who live today are evil. They ask for a miracle as a sign from God. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to Jonah.[b] 30 Jonah was a sign for those who lived in Nineveh.[c] It is the same with the Son of Man. He will be a sign for the people of this time.
31 “On the judgment day, you people who live now will be compared with the queen of the South,[d] and she will be a witness who shows how guilty you are. Why do I say this? Because she traveled from far, far away to listen to Solomon’s wise teaching. And I tell you that someone[e] greater than Solomon is right here, but you won’t listen!
32 “On the judgment day, you people who live now will also be compared with the people from Nineveh, and they will be witnesses who show how guilty you are. I say this because when Jonah preached to those people, they changed their hearts and lives. And you are listening to someone greater than Jonah, but you refuse to change!
Be a Light for the World(F)
33 “No one takes a light and puts it under a bowl or hides it. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that the people who come in can see. 34 The only source of light for the body is the eye. When you look at people and want to help them, you are full of light. But when you look at people in a selfish way, you are full of darkness.[f] 35 So be careful! Don’t let the light in you become darkness. 36 If you are full of light, and there is no part of you that is dark, then you will be all bright, as though you have the light of a lamp shining on you.”
Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders(G)
37 After Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee asked Jesus to eat with him. So he went and took a place at the table. 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not wash his hands[g] first before the meal. 39 The Lord said to him, “The washing you Pharisees do is like cleaning only the outside of a cup or a dish. But what is inside you? You want only to cheat and hurt people. 40 You are foolish! The same one who made what is outside also made what is inside. 41 So pay attention to what is inside. Give to the people who need help. Then you will be fully clean.
42 “But it will be bad for you Pharisees! You give God a tenth of the food you get, even your mint, your rue, and every other little plant in your garden.[h] But you forget to be fair to others and to love God. These are the things you should do. And you should also continue to do those other things.
43 “It will be bad for you Pharisees because you love to have the most important seats in the synagogues. And you love for people to show respect to you in the marketplaces. 44 It will be bad for you, because you are like hidden graves. People walk on them without knowing it.”
45 One of the experts in the law said to Jesus, “Teacher, when you say these things about the Pharisees, you are criticizing our group too.”
46 Jesus answered, “It will be bad for you, you experts in the law! You make strict rules that are very hard for people to obey.[i] You try to force others to obey your rules. But you yourselves don’t even try to follow any of those rules. 47 It will be bad for you, because you build tombs for the prophets. But these are the same prophets your ancestors killed! 48 And now you show all people that you agree with what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you build tombs for the prophets! 49 This is why God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles[j] to them. Some of my prophets and apostles will be killed by evil men. Others will be treated badly.’
50 “So you people who live now will be punished for the deaths of all the prophets who were killed since the beginning of the world. 51 You will be punished for the killing of Abel.[k] And you will be punished for the killing of Zechariah,[l] who was killed between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I tell you that you people will be punished for them all.
52 “It will be bad for you, you experts in the law! You have taken away the key to learning about God. You yourselves would not learn, and you stopped others from learning too.”
53 When Jesus went out, the teachers of the law and the Pharisees began to give him much trouble. They tried to make him answer questions about many things. 54 They were trying to find a way to catch Jesus saying something wrong.
