主訓人的禱告

11 耶穌在一個地方禱告,禱告完了,有個門徒對他說:「求主教導我們禱告,像約翰教導他的門徒。」 耶穌說:「你們禱告的時候,要說:『我們在天上的父[a],願人都尊你的名為聖,願你的國降臨,願你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上[b] 我們日用的飲食,天天賜給我們。 赦免我們的罪,因為我們也赦免凡虧欠我們的人。不叫我們遇見試探,救我們脫離凶惡。[c]』」

求則得之

耶穌又說:「你們中間誰有一個朋友半夜到他那裡去,說:『朋友,請借給我三個餅, 因為我有一個朋友行路,來到我這裡,我沒有什麼給他擺上。』 那人在裡面回答說:『不要攪擾我,門已經關閉,孩子們也同我在床上了,我不能起來給你。』 我告訴你們:雖不因他是朋友起來給他,但因他情詞迫切地直求,就必起來照他所需用的給他。 我又告訴你們:你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門。 10 因為凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就尋見;叩門的,就給他開門。 11 你們中間做父親的,誰有兒子求餅,反給他石頭呢?求魚,反拿蛇當魚給他呢? 12 求雞蛋,反給他蠍子呢? 13 你們雖然不好,尚且知道拿好東西給兒女,何況天父,豈不更將聖靈給求他的人嗎?」

駁倒猶太人的讒言

14 耶穌趕出一個叫人啞巴的鬼,鬼出去了,啞巴就說出話來。眾人都稀奇, 15 內中卻有人說:「他是靠著鬼王別西卜趕鬼。」 16 又有人試探耶穌,向他求從天上來的神蹟。 17 他曉得他們的意念,便對他們說:「凡一國自相紛爭,就成為荒場;凡一家自相紛爭,就必敗落。 18 撒旦自相紛爭,他的國怎能站得住呢?因為你們說我是靠著別西卜趕鬼。 19 我若靠著別西卜趕鬼,你們的子弟趕鬼又靠著誰呢?這樣,他們就要斷定你們的是非。 20 我若靠著神的能力趕鬼,這就是神的國臨到你們了。 21 壯士披掛整齊看守自己的住宅,他所有的都平安無事。 22 但有一個比他更壯的來,勝過他,就奪去他所倚靠的盔甲兵器,又分了他的贓。 23 不與我相合的,就是敵我的;不同我收聚的,就是分散的。 24 汙鬼離了人身,就在無水之地過來過去,尋求安歇之處,既尋不著,便說:『我要回到我所出來的屋裡去。』 25 到了,就看見裡面打掃乾淨,修飾好了, 26 便去另帶了七個比自己更惡的鬼來,都進去住在那裡。那人末後的景況比先前更不好了。」

27 耶穌正說這話的時候,眾人中間有一個女人大聲說:「懷你胎的和乳養你的有福了!」 28 耶穌說:「是,卻還不如聽神之道而遵守的人有福!」

求神蹟的受責備

29 當眾人聚集的時候,耶穌開講說:「這世代是一個邪惡的世代,他們求看神蹟,除了約拿的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給他們看。 30 約拿怎樣為尼尼微人成了神蹟,人子也要照樣為這世代的人成了神蹟。 31 當審判的時候,南方的女王要起來定這世代的罪,因為她從地極而來,要聽所羅門的智慧話。看哪,在這裡有一人比所羅門更大! 32 當審判的時候,尼尼微人要起來定這世代的罪,因為尼尼微人聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。看哪,在這裡有一人比約拿更大!

論心裡的光

33 「沒有人點燈放在地窨子裡或是斗底下,總是放在燈臺上,使進來的人得見亮光。 34 你眼睛就是身上的燈。你的眼睛若瞭亮,全身就光明;眼睛若昏花,全身就黑暗。 35 所以,你要省察,恐怕你裡頭的光或者黑暗了。 36 若是你全身光明,毫無黑暗,就必全然光明,如同燈的明光照亮你。」

37 說話的時候,有一個法利賽人請耶穌同他吃飯,耶穌就進去坐席。 38 這法利賽人看見耶穌飯前不洗手便詫異。 39 主對他說:「如今你們法利賽人洗淨杯盤的外面,你們裡面卻滿了勒索和邪惡。 40 無知的人哪,造外面的,不也造裡面嗎? 41 只要把裡面的施捨給人,凡物於你們就都潔淨了。

述說法利賽人六禍

42 「你們法利賽人有禍了!因為你們將薄荷、芸香並各樣菜蔬獻上十分之一,那公義和愛神的事反倒不行了。這原是你們當行的,那也是不可不行的。 43 你們法利賽人有禍了!因為你們喜愛會堂裡的首位,又喜愛人在街市上問你們的安。 44 你們有禍了!因為你們如同不顯露的墳墓,走在上面的人並不知道。」

45 律法師中有一個回答耶穌說:「夫子,你這樣說也把我們糟蹋了!」 46 耶穌說:「你們律法師也有禍了!因為你們把難擔的擔子放在人身上,自己一個指頭卻不肯動。 47 你們有禍了!因為你們修造先知的墳墓,那先知正是你們的祖宗所殺的。 48 可見你們祖宗所做的事,你們又證明又喜歡;因為他們殺了先知,你們修造先知的墳墓。 49 所以神用智慧[d]曾說:『我要差遣先知和使徒到他們那裡去,有的他們要殺害,有的他們要逼迫。』 50 使創世以來所流眾先知血的罪,都要問在這世代的人身上, 51 就是從亞伯的血起,直到被殺在壇和殿中間撒迦利亞的血為止。我實在告訴你們:這都要問在這世代的人身上。 52 你們律法師有禍了!因為你們把知識的鑰匙奪了去,自己不進去,正要進去的人你們也阻擋他們。」

53 耶穌從那裡出來,文士和法利賽人就極力地催逼他,引動他多說話, 54 私下窺聽,要拿他的話柄。

11 ¶ And it came to pass that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in the heavens, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so also in the earth.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend and shall go unto him at midnight and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

10 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those that ask him?

14 ¶ And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the one who had been dumb spoke; and the people marvelled.

15 But some of them said, He casts out devils through Beelzebub the prince of the demons.

16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every house or city divided against itself will not remain.

18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.

19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

20 But if I with the finger of God cast out the demons, certainly the kingdom of God is come upon you.

21 When an armed strong man keeps his palace, his goods are in peace;

22 but when another stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him, he takes from him all his arms in which he trusted and divides his spoils.

23 He that is not with me is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house from which I came out.

25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.

26 Then he goes, and takes unto him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

27 ¶ And it came to pass as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the crowd lifted up her voice and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the breasts which thou hast sucked.

28 But he said, Rather, blessed are those that hear the word of God and keep it.

29 ¶ And gathering the people unto him, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign, and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

30 For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment against the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

33 No one, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a lampstand that those who come in may see the light.

34 The lamp of the body is the eye; therefore when thine eye is sincere, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

35 Take heed therefore if the light which is in thee is darkness.

36 If thy whole body therefore is full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light as when the bright shining of a lamp doth give thee light.

37 ¶ And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him, and he went in and sat down to food.

38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

41 But rather give alms {lit. do acts of mercy} of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs and pass over the judgment and the charity of God; these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seats in the synagogues and greetings in the markets.

44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which are not seen, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said unto him, Master, saying these things, thou dost reproach us also.

46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and others they shall persecute:

50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,

51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple; verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and those that were entering in, ye hindered.

53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently and to provoke him to speak of many things,

54 laying wait for him and seeking to catch something out of his mouth that they might accuse him.

The Model Prayer(A)

11 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

So He said to them, “When you pray, say:

(B)Our[a] Father [b]in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
[c]Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And (C)forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
[d]But deliver us from the evil one.”

A Friend Comes at Midnight

And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? I say to you, (D)though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking(E)

(F)“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; (G)seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 (H)If a son asks for [e]bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give (I)good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

A House Divided Cannot Stand(J)

14 (K)And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said, (L)“He casts out demons by [f]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

16 Others, testing Him, (M)sought from Him a sign from heaven. 17 (N)But (O)He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out demons (P)with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 (Q)When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But (R)when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his [g]spoils. 23 (S)He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

An Unclean Spirit Returns(T)

24 (U)“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and (V)the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

Keeping the Word

27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, (W)“Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”

28 But He said, (X)“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Seeking a Sign(Y)

29 (Z)And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a (AA)sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah [h]the prophet. 30 For as (AB)Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. 31 (AC)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a (AD)greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for (AE)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

The Lamp of the Body(AF)

33 (AG)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a (AH)basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 (AI)The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is [i]good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is [j]bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”

Woe to the Pharisees and Lawyers

37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 38 (AJ)When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

39 (AK)Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but (AL)your inward part is full of [k]greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish ones! Did not (AM)He who made the outside make the inside also? 41 (AN)But rather give alms of [l]such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

42 (AO)“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and (AP)pass by justice and the (AQ)love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 43 (AR)Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the [m]best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 (AS)Woe to you, [n]scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (AT)For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.

45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”

46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! (AU)For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (AV)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, (AW)‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’ 50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 (AX)from the blood of Abel to (AY)the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.

52 (AZ)“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”

53 [o]And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, [p]and (BA)seeking to catch Him in something He might say, [q]that they might accuse Him.
