路加福音 11
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
祷告的典范
11 有一次,耶稣在一个地方祷告。祷告完了,他的一个门徒对他说:“主啊,求你教我们祷告,就像约翰教导他的门徒们那样。”
2 耶稣就对他们说:“你们祷告的时候,要说:
不断祈求
5 耶稣又对他们说:“假如你们当中谁有一个朋友,就半夜到朋友那里去,对他说:‘朋友,请借给我三个饼, 6 因为有一个朋友旅途中来到我这里,我没有什么可以招待他。’ 7 那个人从里面回答说:‘请不要烦扰我。门已经关上了,我与孩子们也已经上了床,不能起来拿给你。’ 8 我告诉你们:即使不因着是朋友而起来拿给他,还是会因着他毫无羞愧地求,就起来把他所要的拿给他。
9 “我还告诉你们:不断祈求吧,就会给你们;不断寻找吧,就会找到;不断敲门吧,就会为你们开门。 10 因为凡祈求的,就得到;寻找的,就找到;敲门的,就为他开门。 11 你们当中有哪个做父亲的,儿子要鱼[d],反而拿蛇当做[e]鱼给他呢[f]? 12 儿子要鸡蛋,却给他蝎子呢[g]? 13 所以,如果你们做为恶人也知道把好的东西给自己的儿女,更何况天上的父要赐圣灵给求他的人呢!”
自相纷争
14 有一次,耶稣正在驱赶一个使人成为哑巴的鬼魔。鬼魔一出去,哑巴就说出话来,众人都感到惊奇。 15 但其中有些人却说:“他是靠鬼魔的王别西卜驱赶鬼魔的。” 16 另有些人试探耶稣,向他要求一个从天上来的神迹。
17 耶稣知道他们的想法,就对他们说:“任何一个国家,如果自相分裂就成为荒芜;一个家庭,如果自相分裂也会败落。 18 同样,如果撒旦自相纷争[h],它的国怎么能站立得住呢?尽管这样,你们竟然说我是靠别西卜驱赶鬼魔的。 19 如果我是靠别西卜驱赶鬼魔,那么,你们的子弟是靠谁驱赶鬼魔呢?为此,你们的子弟就将要成为你们的审判者了。 20 可是,如果我藉着神的能力[i]驱赶鬼魔,那么,神的国就已经临到你们了。 21 当一个壮士全副武装地看守自己家园的时候,他所拥有的就平安无事。 22 可是比他更强的人一旦来到,并且胜过了他,就会夺走他所依靠的盔甲兵器,又把掠夺物分给别人。 23 不与我在一起的,就是在反对我;不与我一起收集的,就是在拆散。
污灵返回
24 “有个污灵从一个人身上出来以后,走遍无水之地,寻找安歇的地方,却找不到,就说:‘我要回到我离开的那屋里去。’ 25 于是它回去,发现那里已被打扫干净,摆设整齐, 26 就去带了另外七个比自己更邪恶的灵,进去住在那里。那个人最后的情况就比先前更坏了。”
真正的福气
27 耶稣正说这些话的时候,人群中有一个妇人高声对他说:“那怀你胎又哺育你的是蒙福的!”
28 耶稣说:“那听了神的话语[j]又遵守的人,才真是蒙福的!”
约拿的神迹
29 那时,人群越聚越多,耶稣就开始说:“这世代是个邪恶的世代[k],它在寻求神迹;可是除了约拿[l]的神迹以外,不会有神迹赐给它了。 30 就是说,约拿怎样成了对尼尼微人的一个神迹[m],人子也将照样成为对这世代的一个神迹。 31 在审判的时候,南方的女王[n]将要与这世代的人一起复活[o],并且要定他们的罪,因为她从极远的地方来,要听所罗门智慧的话语。看,比所罗门更大的就在这里! 32 在审判的时候,尼尼微人将要与这世代一起复活[p],并且要定这世代的罪,因为尼尼微人因着约拿的传道就悔改了。看,比约拿更大的就在这里!
身体的灯
33 “没有人点上油灯,放在隐藏的地方[q]或斗[r]底下[s],而是放在灯台上,好让进来的人能看见光。 34 你的眼睛是身体的灯。当你的眼睛纯净[t]的时候,你的全身就光明;你的眼睛一旦污浊,你的全身就黑暗。 35 所以你要留心,免得你里面的光成为黑暗。 36 因此,如果你全身光明,没有任何黑暗的部分,你就全然光明,好像明灯照亮着你。”
谴责宗教的伪善
37 耶稣说话的时候,有一个法利赛人请耶稣到他家里吃饭,于是耶稣进去坐席。 38 那个法利赛人看见耶稣午餐之前不行洗净礼,感到惊奇。 39 主就对他说:“如今你们法利赛人洗净杯子、盘子的外面,但你们里面却充满着贪心和恶意。 40 你们这些愚妄的人!那位造了外面的,不也造了里面吗? 41 不过你们当把里面的施舍给人,看哪,对你们来说一切就都洁净了。
42 “你们法利赛人有祸了!因为你们奉献薄荷、芸香和各种蔬菜的十分之一,却废弃了公义和属神的爱。这些事是你们应该做的,至于前者也不可忽略。
43 “你们法利赛人有祸了!因为你们喜爱会堂里的首位,喜爱街市上的致敬问候。
44 “你们有祸了[u]!因为你们好像没有标志的坟墓,人走在上面也不知道。”
45 有一个律法师对耶稣说:“老师,你说这些话,把我们也侮辱了。”
46 耶稣说:“你们这些律法师也有祸了!因为你们使人背负难挑的重担[v],但自己却连一根指头也不肯碰它们一下。
47 “你们有祸了!因为你们建造先知的坟墓[w],而你们的祖先是杀害他们的。 48 因此对你们祖先的行为,你们是见证人,你们也赞同,因为他们杀害了先知们,你们就建造先知的坟墓[x]。 49 为此,神的智慧也曾说:‘我将要差派先知和使徒到他们那里去。有些他们要杀害,有些他们要逼迫。’ 50 这是为要向这世代追讨那从创世以来所流的众先知的血, 51 就是从亚伯的血起,直到在祭坛和圣所[y]之间被杀的撒迦利亚的血为止。
“是的,我告诉你们:这世代将要为此被追讨。
52 “你们这些律法师有祸了!因为你们拿去了知识的钥匙,你们自己不进去,还阻止正要进去的人。”
53 耶稣从那里出来[z],法利赛人和经文士们就开始激烈地敌视他,还盘问他许多问题, 54 暗中等机会,要从他的口中抓住把柄[aa]。

Common English Bible
Teaching the disciples to pray
11 Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 Jesus told them, “When you pray, say:
‘Father, uphold the holiness of your name.
Bring in your kingdom.
3 Give us the bread we need for today.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who has wronged us.
And don’t lead us into temptation.’”
5 He also said to them, “Imagine that one of you has a friend and you go to that friend in the middle of the night. Imagine saying, ‘Friend, loan me three loaves of bread 6 because a friend of mine on a journey has arrived and I have nothing to set before him.’ 7 Imagine further that he answers from within the house, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’ 8 I assure you, even if he wouldn’t get up and help because of his friendship, he will get up and give his friend whatever he needs because of his friend’s brashness. 9 And I tell you: Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 Everyone who asks, receives. Whoever seeks, finds. To everyone who knocks, the door is opened.
11 “Which father among you would give a snake to your child if the child asked for a fish? 12 If a child asked for an egg, what father would give the child a scorpion? 13 If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Controversy over Beelzebul
14 Jesus was throwing out a demon that causes muteness. When the demon was gone, the man who couldn’t speak began to talk. The crowds were amazed. 15 But some of them said, “He throws out demons with the authority of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons.” 16 Others were testing him, seeking a sign from heaven.
17 Because Jesus knew what they were thinking, he said to them, “Every kingdom involved in civil war becomes a wasteland, and a house torn apart by divisions will collapse. 18 If Satan is at war with himself, how will his kingdom endure? I ask this because you say that I throw out demons by the authority of Beelzebul. 19 If I throw out demons by the authority of Beelzebul, then by whose authority do your followers throw them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. 20 But if I throw out demons by the power[a] of God, then God’s kingdom has already overtaken you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are secure. 22 But as soon as a stronger one attacks and overpowers him, the stronger one takes away the armor he had trusted and divides the stolen goods.
23 “Whoever isn’t with me is against me, and whoever doesn’t gather with me, scatters. 24 When an unclean spirit leaves a person, it wanders through dry places looking for a place to rest. But it doesn’t find any. Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house cleaned up and decorated. 26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself. They go in and make their home there. That person is worse off at the end than at the beginning.”
On seeking signs
27 While Jesus was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd spoke up: “Happy is the mother who gave birth to you and who nursed you.”
28 But he said, “Happy rather are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”
29 When the crowds grew, Jesus said, “This generation is an evil generation. It looks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except Jonah’s sign. 30 Just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Human One[b] will be a sign to this generation. 31 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from a distant land to hear Solomon’s wisdom. And look, someone greater than Solomon is here. 32 The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they changed their hearts and lives in response to Jonah’s preaching—and one greater than Jonah is here.
33 “People don’t light a lamp and then put it in a closet or under a basket. Rather, they place the lamp on a lampstand so that those who enter the house can see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is full of darkness. 35 Therefore, see to it that the light in you isn’t darkness. 36 If your whole body is full of light—with no part darkened—then it will be as full of light as when a lamp shines brightly on you.”
Jesus condemns Pharisees and legal experts
37 While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to share a meal with him, so Jesus went and took his place at the table. 38 When the Pharisee saw that Jesus didn’t ritually purify his hands by washing before the meal, he was astonished.
39 The Lord said to him, “Now, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and platter, but your insides are stuffed with greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish people! Didn’t the one who made the outside also make the inside? 41 Therefore, give to those in need from the core of who you are and you will be clean all over.
42 “How terrible for you Pharisees! You give a tenth of your mint, rue, and garden herbs of all kinds, while neglecting justice and love for God. These you ought to have done without neglecting the others.
43 “How terrible for you Pharisees! You love the most prominent seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.
44 “How terrible for you! You are like unmarked graves, and people walk on them without recognizing it.”
45 One of the legal experts responded, “Teacher, when you say these things, you are insulting us too.”
46 Jesus said, “How terrible for you legal experts too! You load people down with impossible burdens and you refuse to lift a single finger to help them.
47 “How terrible for you! You built memorials to the prophets, whom your ancestors killed. 48 In this way, you testify that you approve of your ancestors’ deeds. They killed the prophets, and you build memorials! 49 Therefore, God’s wisdom has said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles to them and they will harass and kill some of them.’ 50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the murder of all the prophets since the beginning of time. 51 This includes the murder of every prophet—from Abel to Zechariah—who was killed between the altar and the holy place. Yes, I’m telling you, this generation will be charged with it.
52 “How terrible for you legal experts! You snatched away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter yourselves, and you stood in the way of those who were entering.”
53 As he left there, the legal experts and Pharisees began to resent him deeply and to ask him pointed questions about many things. 54 They plotted against him, trying to trap him in his words.

Darby Translation
11 And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Father, thy name be hallowed; thy kingdom come;
3 give us our needed bread for each day;
4 and remit us our sins, for we also remit to every one indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.
5 And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,
6 since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;
7 and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give [it] thee?
8 —I say to you, Although he will not get up and give [them] to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.
9 And *I* say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.
11 But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and [the father] shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?
12 or if also he shall ask an egg, shall give him a scorpion?
13 If therefore *ye*, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb [man] spoke. And the crowds wondered.
15 But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons.
16 And others tempting [him] sought from him a sign out of heaven.
17 But *he*, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;
18 and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
19 But if *I* by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons—by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason *they* shall be your judges.
20 But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When the strong [man] armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;
22 but when the stronger than he coming upon [him] overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil [he has taken] from him.
23 He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.
24 When the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places seeking rest; and not finding [any] he says, I will return to my house whence I came out.
25 And having come, he finds it swept and adorned.
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But *he* said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep [it].
29 But as the crowds thronged together, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it but the sign of Jonas.
30 For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, thus shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.
32 Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.
33 But no one having lit a lamp sets it in secret, nor under the corn-measure, but on the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.
34 The lamp of the body is thine eye: when thine eye is simple, thy whole body also is light; but when it is wicked, thy body also is dark.
35 See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If therefore thy whole body [is] light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness.
37 But as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him; and entering in he placed himself at table.
38 But the Pharisee seeing [it] wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward [parts] are full of plunder and wickedness.
40 Fools, has not he who has made the outside made the inside also?
41 But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love of God: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places.
44 Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know [it].
45 And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.
46 And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48 Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for *they* killed them, and *ye* build [their sepulchres].
49 For this reason also the wisdom of God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,
50 that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered.
53 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things;
54 watching him, [and seeking] to catch something out of his mouth, [that they might accuse him].
