警戒門徒
12 這時，成千上萬的人聚集在一起，甚至互相踐踏。耶穌先對門徒說：「你們要提防法利賽人的酵，就是他們的偽善。 2 掩蓋的事終會暴露出來，隱藏的秘密終會被人知道。 3 你們在暗處說的，將在明處被人聽見；你們在密室裡的私語，將在屋頂上被人宣揚。
4 「朋友們，我告訴你們，不要懼怕那些殺害人的身體後再也無計可施的人。 5 我告訴你們應該懼怕誰，要懼怕上帝——祂有權終結人的生命，並把人丟在地獄裡。是的，我告訴你們，要懼怕祂！
6 「五隻麻雀不是只賣兩個銅錢嗎？但上帝連一隻麻雀也不會遺忘。 7 其實就連你們的頭髮都被數過了。不要害怕，你們比許多麻雀要貴重！
8 「我告訴你們，凡在人面前承認我的，人子在上帝的天使面前也必承認他。 9 凡在人面前否認我的，人子在上帝的天使面前也要否認他。 10 說話得罪人子的，還可以得到赦免，但褻瀆聖靈的，必得不到赦免！ 11 當人押你們到會堂，或到官員和當權者面前時，不要顧慮如何辯解，或說什麼話， 12 因為到時候聖靈必指示你們當說的話。」
無知富翁的比喻
13 這時，人群中有人對耶穌說：「老師，請你勸勸我的兄長跟我分家產吧。」
14 耶穌答道：「朋友，誰派我作你們的審判官或仲裁，為你們分家產呢？」 15 接著，祂對眾人說：「你們要小心防範一切的貪心，因為人的生命並不在於家道富足。」
16 耶穌又講了一個比喻，說：「有一個富翁，他的田裡大豐收， 17 於是心裡盤算，『我儲藏農產的地方不夠了，怎麼辦呢？』 18 於是他說，『不如把原有的倉庫拆掉，建幾座更大的，好儲藏我所有的糧食和財物！ 19 那時，我就可以對自己說，「你積存這麼多財產，一生享用不盡，現在大可高枕無憂、盡情地吃喝玩樂吧！」』 20 但上帝對他說，『無知的人啊！今晚就要取走你的命！你所預備的一切留給誰享用呢？』」
21 耶穌說：「這就是那些只顧為自己積財、在上帝面前卻不富足之人的寫照。」
不要為衣食憂慮
22 耶穌繼續對門徒說：「所以，我告訴你們，不要為生活憂慮，如吃什麼，也不要為身體憂慮，如穿什麼。 23 因為生命比飲食重要，身體比穿著重要。 24 你們看，烏鴉不種也不收，沒倉也沒庫，上帝尚且養活牠們，你們比飛鳥不知要貴重多少！
25 「你們誰能用憂慮使自己多活片刻呢？ 26 既然你們連這樣的小事都無能為力，又何必為其餘的事憂慮呢？ 27 看看百合花如何生長吧，它們既不勞苦，也不紡織，但我告訴你們，就連所羅門王最顯赫時的穿戴還不如一朵百合花！
28 「野地的草今天還在，明天就要被丟在爐中，上帝還這樣裝扮它們，何況你們呢？你們的信心太小了！ 29 你們不要為吃什麼喝什麼憂慮， 30 因為這些都是外族人的追求，你們的天父知道你們需要這些。 31 你們要尋求祂的國，祂必供給你們的需要。
32 「你們這一小群人啊，不要怕！因為你們的天父樂意把祂的國賜給你們。 33 要變賣你們的家產去賙濟窮人，要為自己預備永不破損的錢袋，在天上積攢取之不盡的財寶，那裡沒有賊偷，也沒有蟲蛀。 34 因為你們的財寶在哪裡，你們的心也在哪裡。
警醒預備
35 「你們要束上腰帶，準備服侍，要點亮燈， 36 像奴僕們等候主人從婚宴回來。主人回來一叩門，奴僕就可以立即給他開門。 37 主人回來，看見奴僕警醒等候，奴僕就有福了！我實在告訴你們，主人必束上腰帶請他們坐席，並親自服侍他們。 38 無論主人在深夜或黎明回家，若發現奴僕警醒等候，奴僕就有福了。
39 「你們都知道，一家的主人若預先知道賊什麼時候來，一定不會讓賊入屋偷竊。 40 同樣，你們也要做好準備，因為在你們意想不到的時候，人子就來了。」
忠僕和惡僕
41 彼得問：「主啊！你這比喻是講給我們聽的，還是講給眾人聽的呢？」
42 主說：「誰是那個受主人委託管理家中大小僕役、按時分糧食給他們、又忠心又精明的管家呢？ 43 主人回家時，看見他盡忠職守，他就有福了。 44 我實在告訴你們，主人一定會把所有產業都交給他管理。 45 但如果他以為主人不會那麼快回來，就毆打僕婢、吃喝醉酒， 46 主人會在他想不到的日子、不知道的時辰回來，嚴厲地懲罰[a]他，使他和不忠不信的人同受嚴刑。 47 明知主人的意思卻不準備，也不遵行主人吩咐的僕人，必受更重的責打。 48 但因不知道而做了該受懲罰之事的僕人，必少受責打。多給誰，就向誰多取；多託付誰，就向誰多要。
家庭分裂
49 「我來是要把火丟在地上，我多麼希望這火已經燃燒起來。 50 我有要受的『洗禮』，我何等迫切地想完成這『洗禮』啊！ 51 你們以為我來是要使天下太平嗎？不，我告訴你們，我來是要使地上起紛爭。 52 從今以後，一家五口會彼此相爭，三個人反對兩個人，或是兩個人反對三個人， 53 父子相爭，母女對立，婆媳反目。」
明辨是非
54 然後，祂又對眾人說：「你們看見雲從西方升起，就說，『快下雨了！』果然如此。 55 南風一起，你們就說，『天必燥熱』，你們也說對了。 56 你們這些偽善的人！既然知道觀察天色、預測天氣，為什麼不知道觀察這個世代呢？ 57 你們為什麼不自己明辨是非呢？ 58 如果你和控告你的人要去對簿公堂，要盡量在路上跟對方和解，以免被拉到審判官面前，審判官派差役把你關進監牢。 59 我告訴你，除非你付清所欠的每一分錢，否則休想出監牢。」

King James Version
Luke 12
King James Version
12 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

New International Version

New International Version
Warnings and Encouragements(A)
12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.(B) 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(C) 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I tell you, my friends,(D) do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.(E) 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(F) Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(G)
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.(H) 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned(I) before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man(J) will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.(K)
11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,(L) 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”(M)
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”(N)
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool!(O) This very night your life will be demanded from you.(P) Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’(Q)
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”(R)
Do Not Worry(S)
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.(T) And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor(U) was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!(V) 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father(W) knows that you need them.(X) 31 But seek his kingdom,(Y) and these things will be given to you as well.(Z)
32 “Do not be afraid,(AA) little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.(AB) 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor.(AC) Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven(AD) that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.(AE) 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(AF)
Watchfulness(AG)(AH)
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.(AI) Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.(AJ) 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief(AK) was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,(AL) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord(AM) answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(AN) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(AO) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(AP) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Not Peace but Division(AQ)
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism(AR) to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!(AS) 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”(AT)
Interpreting the Times
54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.(AU) 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?(AV)
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.(AW) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(AX)

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Lucas 12
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Pagbantay sa mga Tigpakaaron-ingnon
(Mat. 10:26-27)
12 Samtang nangdugok ang linibong mga tawo didto kang Jesus ug naghuot na sila, miingon si Jesus sa iyang mga tinun-an, “Pagbantay kamo, kay tingali ug matakdan kamo sa pamatasan sa mga Pariseo nga pulos lang pagpakaaron-ingnon. 2 Apan walay tinagoan nga dili mabutyag sa kaulahian. 3 Busa, bisan unsa ang inyong gisulti diha sa kangitngit, madunggan diha sa kahayag, ug ang inyong gihunghong sulod sa sirado nga kuwarto, mahibaloan sa tanan.”
Ang Angay nga Kahadlokan
(Mat. 10:28-31)
4 “Mga higala, ayaw kamo kahadlok sa mga tawo nga makapatay lang sa inyong lawas, ug pagkahuman niana wala na silay lain pang mahimo kaninyo. 5 Sultihan ko kamo kon kinsa ang angay ninyong kahadlokan: kahadloki ninyo ang Dios, kay human niya mapatay ang lawas sa tawo may gahom pa gayod siya sa pagtambog sa kalag niini ngadto sa impiyerno. Mao gani nga gipasidan-an ko kamo nga ang Dios angay ninyong kahadlokan. 6 Dili ba barato lang ang mga gagmayng langgam? Apan walay usa kanila nga gikalimtan sa Dios. 7 Labaw na gayod kamo, bisan gani ang inyong mga buhok inihap niya ang tanan. Busa ayaw kamo kahadlok! Tungod kay mas bililhon pa kamo kaysa mga langgam.”
Ang Pag-ila kang Cristo
(Mat. 10:32-33; 12:32; 10:19-20)
8 Miingon pa si Jesus kanila, “Si bisan kinsa nga mopaila sa mga tawo nga ako iyang Ginoo, ako nga Anak sa Tawo moila usab kaniya atubangan sa mga anghel sa Dios. 9 Apan ang molimod kanako atubangan sa mga tawo, ilimod ko usab atubangan sa mga anghel sa Dios. 10 Si bisan kinsa nga mosulti ug daotan batok kanako nga Anak sa Tawo mapasaylo; apan ang mosulti ug daotan batok sa Espiritu Santo dili gayod mapasaylo.
11 “Kon tungod sa inyong pagtuo dad-on kamo sa simbahan sa mga Judio o sa mga tigdumala sa lungsod aron imbistigahon, ayaw kamo kabalaka kon unsa ang inyong itubag. 12 Kay tudloan kamo sa Espiritu Santo nianang higayona kon unsa ang angay ninyong itubag.”
Ang Sambingay bahin sa Adunahan nga Nagsalig sa Iyang Bahandi
13 May tawo didto nga miingon, “Magtutudlo, sultihi ang akong magulang nga lalaki nga bahinan niya ako sa among napanunod nga kabilin.” 14 Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Uy tawo, unsa ako, huwes o tigbahin sa inyong mga kabtangan?” 15 Unya misulti si Jesus sa mga tawo, “Pagbantay kamo sa tanang matang sa pagkahakog, kay ang tinuod nga pagkinabuhi dili diha sa kadaghan sa kabtangan.” 16 Unya misulti si Jesus kanila niini nga sambingay, “May usa ka tawo nga adunahan nga may yuta nga daghan gayod ang ani. 17 Busa miingon siya sa iyang kaugalingon, ‘Unsa may akong himuon? Wala na akoy kabutangan sa akong ani! 18 Maayo pa tingali nga ipaguba ko ang akong mga bodega ug magpatukod ug mas dako pa gayod, ug didto ko ibutang ang akong mga ani ug mga kabtangan. 19 Ug tungod kay daghan na ang akong natigom alang sa umaabot nga mga tuig, magpahayahay na lang unya ako, mokaon, moinom, ug maglipay!’ 20 Apan miingon ang Dios kaniya, ‘Buang-buang! Karong gabii bawion ko kanimo ang imong kinabuhi. Busa kinsa man ang makapahimulos sa imong gitigom nga mga kabtangan?’ 21 Mao usab kana ang mahitabo sa tawo nga magtigom ug mga bahandi alang sa iyang kaugalingon apan kabos atubangan sa Dios.”
Ang Pagsalig ngadto sa Dios
(Mat. 6:25-34)
22 Unya miingon si Jesus sa iyang mga tinun-an, “Busa sultihan ko kamo nga dili kamo mabalaka sa inyong kinabuhi, kon unsa ang inyong kaonon o kon unsa ang inyong isul-ob. 23 Dili mahimo nga dili niya kamo hatagan niini tungod kay gihatagan man niya kamog lawas ug kinabuhi. 24 Tan-awa ninyo ang mga uwak: wala sila magtanom, wala mag-ani, ug wala silay bodega nga tigomanan sa ilang pagkaon, apan sa gihapon gipakaon sila sa Dios. Dili ba mas labaw pa kamo kaysa mga langgam? 25 Kinsa ba kaninyo ang makapalugway sa inyong kinabuhi bisag gamay lang pinaagi sa inyong kabalaka? Wala gayod! 26 Busa, tungod kay wala man kamoy mahimo sa pagpalugway sa inyong kinabuhi, ngano nga mabalaka pa man gayod kamo sa ubang mga butang? 27 Hunahunaa ninyo kon giunsa pagtubo sa mga bulak; wala sila maghago o magbuhat sa ilang bisti. Apan ang tinuod, bisan ang bisti sa bantogan ug bahandianong hari nga si Solomon dili makatupong sa katahom niining mga bulaka. 28 Kon gipatahom sa Dios ang mga sagbot nga buhi karon, apan sa kaulahian malaya ug sunogon lang, dili ba labi pa gayod niya kamong pabistihan? Pagkagamay sa inyong pagtuo! 29 Ayaw kamo kabalaka kon unsa unya ang inyong kaonon ug imnon. 30 Mao kini ang gikabalak-an sa mga tawo nga wala magtuo sa Dios. Nahibalo ang inyong Amahan sa langit nga gikinahanglan ninyo kining mga butanga. 31 Busa unaha ninyo ang pagpasakop sa paghari sa Dios ug ihatag gayod niya kaninyo ang inyong mga gikinahanglan.”
Ang mga Bahandi sa Langit
(Mat. 6:19-21)
32 “Pipila lang gayod kaninyo ang nagasunod kanako, apan ayaw kamo kahadlok tungod kay pagbuot sa inyong Amahan nga paharion kamo sa iyang gingharian. 33 Ibaligya ninyo ang inyong mga kabtangan, ug ihatag ang kuwarta ngadto sa mga kabos aron makatigom kamo ug bahandi didto sa langit. Dili gayod kini makuhaan o madunot, tungod kay didto walay kawatan nga makaduol ug walay gagmayng mga mananap nga makakutkot. 34 Kay kon asa gani ang inyong bahandi atua usab didto ang inyong kasingkasing.”
Ang Kasaligan nga Sulugoon
35-36 Miingon pa gayod si Jesus kanila, “Pangandam kamo sa tanang panahon aron dili kamo makalitan sa pagbalik sa inyong Ginoo. Sunda ninyo ang mga sulugoon nga naghulat sa pagbalik sa ilang agalon nga mitambong sa kombira. Nagbantay sila ug wala nila palunga ang ilang mga suga. Busa bisan unsang orasa muabot ang ilang agalon, ug manuktok sa pultahan, maablihan nila kini dayon. 37 Bulahan kadtong mga sulugoon nga sa pag-abot sa ilang agalon nagtukaw ug nagaandam. Ang tinuod, patambongon niya kadtong mga sulugoon sa iyang kan-anan ug siya mismo ang magsilbe kanila. 38 Bulahan gayod sila kon maabtan nga nakaandam sa iyang pag-abot bisan sa tungang gabii o sa kadlawon. 39 Timan-i ninyo kini: kon mahibaloan lang sa tagbalay kon kanus-a muabot ang kawatan, bantayan gayod niya kini aron dili makasulod sa iyang balay. 40 Busa pagbantay gayod kamo, tungod kay sa oras nga wala ninyo paabota, ako nga Anak sa Tawo muabot.”
Ang Masaligan ug ang Dili Masaligan nga Sulugoon
(Mat. 24:45-51)
41 Nangutana si Pedro, “Ginoo, alang kang kinsa man kanang maong sambingay, kanamo ba nga imong mga tinun-an o alang sa tanan?” 42 Gitubag siya ni Jesus, “Dili ba nga kon kinsa ang masaligan ug maalamon nga sulugoon mao man ang pilion sa agalon nga maoy magdumala sa kauban niyang mga sulugoon? Siya ang maghatag kanila sa ilang pagkaon sa hustong oras. 43 Bulahan kadtong sulugoon nga sa pagbalik sa iyang agalon maabtan nga naghimo sa iyang buluhaton. 44 Sigurado gayod nga padumalahon siya sa tanang butang sa iyang agalon. 45 Apan alaot ang sulugoon nga sa paggikan sa iyang agalon maghuna-huna nga dugay pa kining mobalik, busa magsugod siya sa pagdagmal sa iyang kauban nga mga sulugoon, malalaki man o mababaye, ug magpagusto siya sa pagkaon, pag-inom ug paghubog. 46 Moabot ang iyang agalon sa oras nga wala gayod niya damha, ug grabe ang silot nga iyang madawat.[a] Iuban siya sa mga tawo nga dili kasaligan.
47 “Ang sulugoon nga nasayod kon unsa ang gusto sa iyang agalon apan wala magtuman niini, daghan nga kastigo ang iyang mahiagoman. 48 Ug ang sulugoon nga wala masayod kon unsa ang gusto sa iyang agalon ug nakahimo sa mga butang nga dili maayo kastigohon usab, apan diotay lang. Kay bisan kinsa nga gihatagan ug daghan, daghan usab ang paabuton gikan kaniya. Mas daghan ang paabuton gikan sa tawo nga gihatagan ug daghan.”
Si Jesus ang Hinungdan sa Pagkabahin-bahin sa Katawhan
(Mat. 10:34-36)
49 Miingon pa gayod si Jesus kanila, “Mianhi ako dinhi sa kalibotan aron sa pagsilot sa mga tawo. Ang ilang silot mahisama sa kalayo ug gusto kong magdilaab na kini. 50 Apan sa dili pa kini mahitabo daghan pang mga pag-antos ang akong maagian, ug dili gayod ako mahimutang hangtod nga kini mahuman.
51 “Naghuna-huna ba kamo nga mianhi ako dinhi aron sa pagdalag kalinaw sa kalibotan? Ang tinuod, mianhi ako dinhi aron sa pagdala ug kagubot ug sa pagkabahin-bahin. 52 Ug gikan karon, tungod kanako, magkabahin-bahin ang mga pamilya. Kon lima sila, ang tulo batok sa duha ug ang duha batok sa tulo. 53 Ang amahan ug ang iyang anak nga lalaki magbinatokay. Ang inahan ug ang iyang anak nga babaye magbinatokay, ug ang ugangan nga babaye ug ang iyang umagad nga babaye magbinatokay usab.”
Bantayi ang mga Panghitabo
(Mat. 16:2-3)
54 Unya miingon si Jesus sa mga tawo, “Kon makita ninyo ang dag-om sa kasadpan moingon kamo nga moulan, ug mao kini ang mahitabo. 55 Ug kon mohuros ang hangin nga habagat moingon kamo nga moinit, ug mao usab kini ang mahitabo. 56 Mga tigpakaaron-ingnon! Makahibalo kamo nga motag-an kon unsa ang mahitabo pinaagi sa inyong pagtan-aw sa yuta ug sa langit, apan ngano nga dili man kamo makatag-an sa mga panghitabo karon?”
Pakighusay sa Imong Kaaway
(Mat. 5:25-26)
57 Nganong wala man gayod ninyo huna-hunaa kon unsa ang husto? 58 Kon may mosumbong batok kanimo, tinguhaa gayod nga makighusay dayon kaniya sa dili pa kamo maghusay sa korte. Kay basin ug pugson ka gayod niya pagdala ngadto sa huwes ug ang huwes motugyan kanimo ngadto sa pulis aron prisohon ka. 59 Ug dili ka gayod makagawas hangtod nga mabayran mo ang tanan mong multa.
