路加福音 12
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
要防備宗教的偽善
12 那時有上萬的人群聚集，甚至彼此踐踏。耶穌一開始先對他的門徒們說：「你們要提防法利賽人的酵母，就是偽善。 2 被掩蓋的事沒有將不被顯露出來的，隱祕的事也沒有將不被知道的。 3 所以你們在暗中所說的，會在明處被聽見；你們在內室裡耳語的，將要在屋頂上被宣揚出去。
要懼怕神
4 「我的朋友，我告訴你們：不要怕那些殺了身體以後不能再做什麼的人。 5 我要指示你們該懼怕的是誰：你們當懼怕那殺了身體以後，又有權把人扔進地獄的那一位。是的，我告訴你們：當懼怕這一位。 6 五隻麻雀不是賣兩個小錢[a]嗎？可是在神面前，一隻也不會被忘記； 7 而且，就是你們的每一根頭髮也都被數過了。不要怕！你們比一大群麻雀還重要。
要承認基督
8 「我告訴你們：無論誰在人面前承認我，人子在神的天使們面前也將承認他； 9 而那在人面前不認我的，在神的天使們面前也將被否認。 10 所有說話抵擋人子的，還能被赦免；但那褻瀆聖靈的，不能被赦免。 11 當他們把你們帶到會堂，或帶到統治者和掌權者面前的時候，不要憂慮怎樣申辯或說什麼。 12 因為就在那時候，聖靈會教導你們該說的話。」
無知財主的比喻
13 人群中有一個人對耶穌說：「老師，請吩咐我的哥哥[b]與我分繼業吧！」
14 耶穌對他說：「朋友[c]，誰委任了我做你們的審判官或仲裁者呢？」 15 接著耶穌對他們說：「你們要注意，要提防一切貪心，因為一個人的生命不在於他財產的豐厚。」
16 然後對他們講了一個比喻，說：「有一個富有的人，田地豐收了。 17 他就心裡盤算：『我沒有地方儲存我的產物了，做什麼呢？』 18 他就說：『我要這麼做：拆掉我的這些倉庫，另建更大的，把我所有的麥子[d]和美物收集在那裡。 19 然後，我要對我的靈魂說：靈魂哪，你擁有了很多好東西，足以享用多年，你就休息、吃喝、慶祝吧。』
20 「可是神對他說：『你這愚妄的人哪！今夜，他們就要召回你的靈魂了。那麼，你所預備的要歸誰呢？』
21 「那為自己積蓄財富而在神面前不富足的人，也是這樣。」
不要憂慮
22 耶穌又對他的門徒們說：「所以我告訴你們：不要為你們的[e]生命而憂慮吃什麼，也不要為身體而憂慮穿什麼。 23 因為生命比食物更重要，身體比衣服更重要。 24 應該想一想烏鴉：牠們不撒種，也不收割，沒有倉也沒有庫，神尚且養活牠們；更何況你們，你們比飛鳥還重要呢！ 25 你們當中誰能因著憂慮使自己的壽命延長一刻[f][g]呢？ 26 因此，你們如果連最小的事也不能做，為什麼還要為其他的事憂慮呢？
27 「應該想一想百合花是怎麼生長的：它不勞動，也不紡織。但是我告訴你們：就連所羅門在他最榮耀的時候，所穿戴的也不如這些花中的一朵。 28 你們這些小信的人哪！野地裡的草今天還在，明天就被丟進火爐裡，神尚且這樣裝扮它，更何況你們呢！ 29 你們不要追求吃什麼、喝什麼，也不要掛慮。 30 因為這一切都是世界外邦人所尋求的，而你們的父已經知道你們需要這些了。
31 「不過你們應當尋求神的[h]國，這些都[i]將加給你們了。 32 你們這一小群哪，不要怕，因為你們的父樂意把國度[j]賜給你們。 33 你們當賣掉自己所擁有的，施捨給人，為自己預備不會破舊的錢包和沒有窮盡的財寶在天上；在那裡盜賊不能靠近，也沒有蟲咬蝕。 34 要知道，你們的財寶在哪裡，你們的心也在哪裡。
要警醒
35 「你們要束上腰帶，點亮油燈， 36 要像期待著主人從婚宴上回來的人那樣；好在主人回來敲門的時候，能立刻為他開門。 37 主人回來的時候，看見哪些奴僕警醒著，那些奴僕就蒙福了。我確實地告訴你們：主人會束上腰帶，請他們坐席，並來伺候他們。 38 即使主人在二更天或在三更天才回來，也看見他們仍然警醒著，那些人[k]就蒙福了。 39 不過你們應當知道這一點：一家的主人如果知道賊什麼時候來，就[l]不會讓他的房子被人鑽進。 40 你們也應當做好準備，因為在你們意想不到的時候，人子就來了。」
忠僕與惡僕
41 彼得說：「主啊，你這個比喻是對我們說的，還是也對大家說的呢？」
42 主說：「究竟誰是那又忠心又聰明的管家——受主人委任統管他家人、按時分發糧食的人呢？ 43 主人回來的時候，看見哪個奴僕如此行，那個奴僕就蒙福了。 44 我確實地告訴你們：主人會委任他統管自己所擁有的一切。 45 但如果這奴僕心裡說『我的主人會遲延回來』，就動手毆打其他的男僕和女僕，並且吃喝、醉酒， 46 那麼，這奴僕的主人就要在意想不到的日子、在他不知道的時刻回來，並且會嚴厲懲罰他[m]，使他與那些不信的人有同樣的下場。 47 那知道主人的意思[n]，卻沒有預備，也不照著主人的意思去做的奴僕，將會受很多鞭打； 48 但那因為不知道而做了該打之事的人，將會受很少鞭打。所以誰被賜予的多，將來向誰索取的也多；託給誰多，將來向誰要求的也更多。
不是和平而是分裂
49 「我來是要把火投在地上，我多麼希望這火已經點燃了！ 50 不過我有該受的洗禮，在完成之前，我是多麼困苦！ 51 你們以為我來了，是給地上帶來和平嗎？不是的！我告訴你們：其實還是分裂[o]。 52 從今以後，一家五口將要分裂：三個與兩個，兩個與三個分裂。
53 他們將要分裂：父親反對兒子，
兒子反對父親而分裂；
母親反對女兒，
女兒反對母親而分裂；
婆婆反對媳婦，
媳婦反對婆婆而分裂。[p]」
分辨時代
54 然後，耶穌又對眾人說：「你們一旦看見雲彩在西邊升起，就立刻說：『要下大雨了』，果然就如此。 55 南風一吹起，你們就說：『要熱起來了』，果然就如此。 56 你們這些偽善的人！你們懂得分辨天地的氣象，怎麼不懂得[q]分辨這個時代呢？
要盡力和解
57 「你們為什麼自己不判斷公義的事呢？ 58 你和你的對頭去見官的時候，在路上就當盡力與他和解，免得他把你拉到審判官面前，審判官把你交給獄卒，獄卒就把你投進監獄。 59 我告訴你：除非你還清了最後的一個小錢[r]，否則你絕不能從那裡出來。」

Wycliffe Bible
12 And when much people stood about [Soothly many companies of people standing about], so that they trod each on other, he began to say to his disciples, Be ye ware of the sourdough of the Pharisees, that is hypocrisy [which is hypocrisy].
2 For nothing is covered, that shall not be showed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 For why those things that ye have said in darknesses, shall be said in light; and that that ye have spoken in [the] ear in bedchambers [and that that ye have spoken in the ear in couches], shall be preached in roofs.
4 And I say to you, my friends, be ye not afeared of them [be not afeared of them] that slay the body, and after these things have no more what they shall do.
5 But I shall show to you, whom ye shall dread; dread ye him, that after he hath slain [which after he hath slain], hath power to send into hell. And so I say to you, dread ye him.
6 Whether five sparrows be not sold for two halfpence [for two farthings]; and one of them is not in forgetting before God?
7 But also all the hairs of your head be numbered. Therefore do not ye dread; ye be of more price than many sparrows.
8 Truly I say to you, each man that acknowledgeth me before men [Truly I say to you, whoever shall acknowledge me before men], man's Son shall acknowledge him before the angels of God.
9 But he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And each that saith a word against man's Son, it shall be forgiven to him; but it shall not be forgiven to him, that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost. [And each that saith a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven to him; he that shall blaspheme into the Holy Ghost, soothly it shall not be forgiven to him.]
11 And when they lead you into synagogues, and to magistrates, and potentates, do not ye be busy, how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say.
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in that hour, what it behooveth you to say.
13 And one of the people said to him [Soothly some man of the company saith to him], Master, say to my brother, that he part with me the heritage.
14 And he said to him, Man, who ordained me a doomsman, or a parter, on you [over you]?
15 And he said to them, See ye, and beware of all covetousness; for the life of a man is not in the abundance of the things, which he wieldeth.
16 And he told to them a likeness, and said, The field of a rich man brought forth plenteous fruits. [Soothly he said to them a likeness, saying, The field of some rich man brought forth plenteous fruits.]
17 And he thought within himself, and said [saying], What shall I do, for I have not whither I shall gather my fruits?
18 And he saith, This thing I shall do; I shall throw down my barns, and I shall make greater, and thither I shall gather all things that grow to me, and my goods.
19 And I shall say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods kept into full many years [thou hast many goods put up, or kept, into full many years]; rest thou, eat, drink, and make feast.
20 And God said to him, Fool, in this night they shall take thy life from thee. And whose shall those things be, that thou hast arrayed? [Soothly God said to him, Fool, in this night they shall ask of thee thy soul. Forsooth whose shall those things be, which thou hast made ready?]
21 So is he that treasureth to himself, and is not rich in God.
22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, do not ye be busy to your life, what ye shall eat, neither to your body, with what ye shall be clothed.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body more than clothing.
24 Behold the crows, for they sow not, neither reap [nor reap], to which is neither cellar, nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much more ye be of more price than they [How much more be ye of more price than they(?)].
25 And who of you by thinking may put one cubit to his stature [may add one cubit to his stature]?
26 Therefore if ye be not able to do that that is least [Therefore if ye may not do that that is least], what be ye busy of other things?
27 Behold ye the lilies of the field, how they wax; they travail not, neither spin. And I say to you, that neither Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
28 And if God clotheth thus the hay, that to day is in the field [which to day is in the field], and to morrow is cast into an oven; how much more you of little faith.
29 And do not ye seek, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; and do not ye be raised on high.
30 For folks of the world seek all these things; and your Father knoweth, that ye have need to all these things.
31 Nevertheless seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be cast to you.
32 Do not ye, little flock, dread, for it pleased to your Father to give you a kingdom.
33 Sell ye those things that ye have in possession [Sell ye those things that ye wield], and give ye alms. And make to you satchels that wax not old, treasure that faileth not in heavens, whither a thief approacheth not [whither a thief nigheth not], neither moth destroyeth.
34 For where is thy treasure, there thine heart shall be. [Forsooth where thy treasure is, there also thine heart shall be.]
35 Be your loins girded above, and lanterns burning in your hands;
36 and be ye like to men that abide their lord [and ye like to men abiding their lord], when he shall turn again from the weddings, that when he shall come, and knock, at once [anon] they open to him.
37 Blessed be those servants, that when the lord shall come [whom when the lord shall come], he shall find waking. Truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit to meat [and make them sit at the meat], and he shall go, and serve them.
38 And if he [shall] come in the second waking, and if he come in the third waking, and find so, those servants be blessed.
39 And know ye this thing, for if an husbandman knew, in what hour the thief would come, soothly he should wake, and not suffer his house to be mined [and suffer not his house to be mined].
40 And be ye ready, for in what hour ye guess not, man's Son shall come.
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who, guessest thou, is a true dispenser, and prudent [Who, guessest thou, is a faithful dispenser, and prudent], whom the lord hath ordained on [upon] his household, to give them in time a measure of wheat?
43 Blessed is that servant, that the lord when he cometh, shall find so doing. [Blessed is that servant, whom when the lord shall come, he shall find so doing.]
44 Verily I say to you, that on [upon] all things that he wieldeth, he shall ordain him.
45 That if that servant say in his heart, My lord tarrieth to come; and begin to smite children, and handmaidens, and eat, and drink, and be full-filled over measure [and be filled over measure],
46 the lord of that servant shall come, in the day that he hopeth not, and in the hour that he knoweth not, and shall part him (in pieces), and [shall] put his part with unfaithful men.
47 But that servant that knew the will of his lord, and made not him(self) ready, and did not after his will, shall be beaten with many beatings.
48 But he that knew not, and did worthy things of strokes, shall be beaten with few. For to each man to whom much is given, much shall be asked of him; and they shall ask more of him, to whom they betook much.
49 I came to send fire into the earth, and what will I, but that it be kindled?
50 And I have to be baptized with a baptism, and how am I constrained, till that it be perfectly done [till it be perfectly done]?
51 Ween ye [Guess ye], that I came to give peace into [the] earth? Nay, I say to you, but parting.
52 For from this time there shall be five parted in one house; three shall be parted against twain, and twain shall be parted against three;[a]
53 the father against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the husband's mother against the son's wife, and the son's wife against her husband's mother.
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the sun going down, at once ye say [anon ye say], Rain cometh; and so it is done.
55 And when ye see the south blowing, ye say, That heat shall be; and it is done.
56 Hypocrites, ye know how to prove the face of heaven and of earth, but how prove ye not this time[?]
57 But what and of yourselves ye deem not that that is just? [Forsooth why and of yourselves deem ye not this thing that is just?]
58 But when thou goest with thine adversary in the way to the prince, do busyness to be delivered from him; lest peradventure he take thee to the doomsman [Forsooth when thou goest with thine adversary to the prince in the way, give thou busyness to be delivered from him; lest peradventure he draw thee to the doomsman], and the doomsman betake thee to the masterful asker, and the masterful asker send thee into prison.
59 I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence [I say to thee, Thou shalt not go thence], till thou yield the last farthing.

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.
