路加福音 13
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
若不悔改都要滅亡
13 就在那時候，有幾個在那裡的人，把加利利人的事告訴耶穌，就是彼拉多把他們的血和他們的祭物攙在一起的事。 2 他回答：“你們以為這些加利利人比其他的加利利人更有罪，才這樣受害嗎？ 3 不是的，我告訴你們，你們若不悔改，都要這樣滅亡。 4 你們以為從前西羅亞樓倒塌的時候，壓死的那十八個人，比一切在耶路撒冷的居民更有罪嗎？ 5 不是的，我告訴你們，你們若不悔改，也都要這樣滅亡。”
不結果的無花果樹
6 耶穌講了這樣一個比喻：“有一個人把一棵無花果樹栽在自己的葡萄園裡。他來到樹那裡找果子，卻找不到。 7 他對管園的說：‘你看，這三年，我來到這棵無花果樹那裡找果子，卻找不到，把它砍了吧！何必白佔地土呢？’ 8 管園的說：‘主人，今年且留著它，等我把周圍的泥土挖鬆，加上肥料； 9 以後結果子就罷，不然，再把它砍了。’”
在安息日治好病人
10 安息日的時候，耶穌在會堂裡教導人。 11 有一個女人被邪靈附著，病了十八年，彎腰曲背，完全直不起來。 12 耶穌看見了，就叫她過來，對她說：“婦人，你脫離這疾病了。” 13 耶穌用雙手按在她身上，她立刻直起腰來，頌讚 神。 14 會堂的主管，因為耶穌在安息日治病，就氣忿忿地對群眾說：“有六天是應當作工的，你們可以在這六天裡來求醫，但在安息日卻不可以。” 15 主說：“偽君子啊，你們哪一個人在安息日，不從槽那裡解開牛、驢，牽去喝水呢？ 16 何況這個女人是亞伯拉罕的後裔，已經被撒但捆綁了十八年，不應當在安息日解開她的捆綁嗎？” 17 他說完了這些話，那些與他為敵的人都慚愧；群眾卻都因他所行一切榮耀的事歡喜。
芥菜種和麵酵的比喻(A)
18 耶穌說：“ 神的國好像甚麼呢？我要把它比作甚麼呢？ 19 它好像一粒芥菜種，人拿去種在自己的園子裡。它長大了，成為一棵樹，甚至天空的飛鳥也在它的枝頭搭窩。” 20 他又說：“我要把 神的國比作甚麼呢？ 21 它好像麵酵，女人拿去放在三斗麵裡，直到全團發起來。”
當進窄門(B)
22 耶穌經過各城各鄉，往耶路撒冷去，沿途教導人。 23 有一個人問他：“主啊，是不是只有很少的人得救呢？”他對眾人說： 24 “你們應當竭力進窄門！我告訴你們，將來許多人要進去，卻是不能。 25 等到家主起來關上門，你們站在門外叩門說：‘主啊，給我們開門！’他要回答你們：‘我不知道你們是從哪裡來的。’ 26 那時，你們要說：‘我們在你面前吃過喝過，你也在我們街上教導過人。’ 27 他要說：‘我告訴你們，我不曉得你們是從哪裡來的；你們所有作惡的人，離開我去吧！’ 28 當你們看見亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各和眾先知都在 神的國裡的時候，你們卻被趕到外面去，在那裡必要哀哭切齒。 29 從東從南，從西從北，將有人來，在 神的國裡吃飯。 30 在後的將要在前，在前的將要在後。”
為耶路撒冷歎息(C)
31 就在那時候，有幾個法利賽人來對耶穌說：“你離開這裡走吧！因為希律想要殺你。” 32 他說：“你們去告訴那個狐狸，今天明天我趕鬼醫病，第三天我的事就完成了。 33 然而，今天明天後天，我必須前行，因為先知不能在耶路撒冷以外喪命。 34 耶路撒冷啊，耶路撒冷，你殺害先知，又用石頭把奉派到你那裡的人打死。我多次想招聚你的兒女，好像母雞招聚小雞到翅膀底下，只是你們不願意。 35 你看，你們的家必成為荒場留給你們。我告訴你們，從今以後，你們一定見不到我，直等到你們說：‘奉主名來的，是應當稱頌的。’”
路加福音 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
不悔改的下场
13 这时，有人把加利利人献祭时被彼拉多屠杀的事告诉了耶稣。
2 耶稣说：“你们以为这些人被杀，是因为他们的罪比其他加利利人的罪更重吗？ 3 不！我告诉你们，你们若不悔改，同样也必灭亡。 4 西罗亚楼倒塌时曾压死了十八个人。你们以为他们比耶路撒冷其他人更有罪吗？ 5 不！我告诉你们，你们若不悔改，同样也必灭亡。”
6 于是，耶稣说了一个比喻：“有人在葡萄园里种了一棵无花果树，他去树那里找果子，却找不到。 7 他对园丁说，‘三年来，我一直盼望它结果子，它却一个也没结。把它砍了，免得白占土地。’
8 “园丁请求说，‘主人，再留它一年吧！让我在它四周松土、施肥， 9 明年如果结了果子就留它，否则再砍掉它。’”
治好驼背妇人
10 有个安息日，耶稣在会堂里讲道。 11 那里有个妇人被邪灵缠身十八年，腰弯得很厉害，无法站直。 12 耶稣看见她，便叫她过来，说：“妇人，你再不会被疾病缠身了！” 13 耶稣双手按在她身上，她的腰立刻直了，便颂赞上帝。
14 会堂主管看到耶稣在安息日为人治病，十分恼怒，就对众人说：“一周有六天可以工作，求医应当在这六天之内，不可在安息日！”
15 主说：“你们这些伪君子，莫非你们在安息日不解开棚里的牛和驴，带它们去喝水吗？ 16 这妇人身为亚伯拉罕的女儿，受撒旦的捆绑十八年，难道不该在安息日为她解开捆索吗？” 17 反对祂的人听了这番话后，都非常羞愧，众人却为耶稣的奇妙作为高兴欢喜。
上帝国的比喻
18 耶稣继续说：“上帝的国好像什么呢？我该把上帝的国比作什么呢？ 19 上帝的国就像一粒芥菜种，有人把它种在园里，它长成了一棵树，连飞鸟也来栖息在它的树枝上。”
20 耶稣又说：“我该把上帝的国比作什么呢？ 21 上帝的国就像面酵，妇人拿来掺在三斗面里，使整团面都发起来。”
努力进窄门
22 耶稣继续前往耶路撒冷，沿途在各城镇教导人。 23 有人问祂：“主啊，得救的人是否很少呢？”耶稣对他们说：
24 “你们要努力进窄门，因为我告诉你们，将来有许多人想要进却进不去。 25 当主人起来把门关闭之后，你们才站在外面叩门哀求，说，‘主啊，给我们开门吧！’主人必说，‘我不认识你们，你们是从哪里来的？’
26 “那时，你们必说，‘我们不是在一起用过餐吗？你不是在街上教导过我们吗？’
27 “主人必说，‘我告诉你们，我不认识你们，也不知道你们是从哪里来的。你们这些作恶的人，走开！’
28 “当你们看见亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各和众先知在上帝的国，自己却被丢在门外，必要在那里哀哭切齿。 29 那时人们会从东西南北来参加上帝国的宴席。 30 看啊，有些殿后的将要为首，有些为首的将要殿后。”
为耶路撒冷哀伤
31 那时，有几个法利赛人来告诉耶稣，说：“快离开这里吧，希律要杀你！”
32 耶稣说：“你们去告诉那个狐狸，‘今天和明天，我要继续赶鬼治病，到第三天，我的任务就完成了。’ 33 无论如何，今天、明天和后天我必须继续前行，因为先知不能死在耶路撒冷以外的地方。
34 “耶路撒冷啊，耶路撒冷啊！你常杀害先知，又用石头打死派到你那里的使者。我多次想要招聚你的儿女，像母鸡将小鸡招聚在翅膀底下，可是你们却不肯。 35 看啊！你们的家园将一片荒凉。我告诉你们，在你们说‘奉主名来的当受称颂’之前，你们再也见不到我了。”
Luke 13
King James Version
13 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 13
A Call to Repentance.[a] 1 At that time some people who were present there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate[b] had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. 2 He said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?(A) 3 By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent,(B) you will all perish as they did! 4 Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them[c]—do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem? 5 By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!”
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree.[d] 6 (C)And he told them this parable: “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, 7 he said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. [So] cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?’ 8 He said to him in reply, ‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; 9 it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down.’”
Cure of a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath.[e] 10 He was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. 11 And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.” 13 He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God. 14 (D)But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, “There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day.” 15 [f]The Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering?(E) 16 [g]This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?”(F) 17 When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.
The Parable of the Mustard Seed.(G) 18 [h]Then he said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed that a person took and planted in the garden. When it was fully grown, it became a large bush and ‘the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.’”(H)
The Parable of the Yeast.(I) 20 Again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed [in] with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was leavened.”
The Narrow Door; Salvation and Rejection.[i] 22 He passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them, 24 (J)“Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.(K) 25 After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’(L) 26 And you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’ 27 (M)Then he will say to you, ‘I do not know where [you] are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!’ 28 (N)And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out. 29 And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the kingdom of God.(O) 30 For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”(P)
Herod’s Desire to Kill Jesus. 31 At that time some Pharisees came to him and said, “Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you.” 32 He replied, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.[j] 33 [k]Yet I must continue on my way today,(Q) tomorrow, and the following day, for it is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.’
The Lament over Jerusalem.(R) 34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling! 35 Behold, your house will be abandoned. [But] I tell you, you will not see me until [the time comes when] you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”(S)
Footnotes
- 13:1–5 The death of the Galileans at the hands of Pilate (Lk 13:1) and the accidental death of those on whom the tower fell (Lk 13:4) are presented by the Lucan Jesus as timely reminders of the need for all to repent, for the victims of these tragedies should not be considered outstanding sinners who were singled out for punishment.
- 13:1 The slaughter of the Galileans by Pilate is unknown outside Luke; but from what is known about Pilate from the Jewish historian Josephus, such a slaughter would be in keeping with the character of Pilate. Josephus reports that Pilate had disrupted a religious gathering of the Samaritans on Mount Gerizim with a slaughter of the participants (Antiquities 18:86–87), and that on another occasion Pilate had killed many Jews who had opposed him when he appropriated money from the temple treasury to build an aqueduct in Jerusalem (Jewish War 2:175–77; Antiquities 18:60–62).
- 13:4 Like the incident mentioned in Lk 13:1 nothing of this accident in Jerusalem is known outside Luke and the New Testament.
- 13:6–9 Following on the call to repentance in Lk 13:1–5, the parable of the barren fig tree presents a story about the continuing patience of God with those who have not yet given evidence of their repentance (see Lk 3:8). The parable may also be alluding to the delay of the end time, when punishment will be meted out, and the importance of preparing for the end of the age because the delay will not be permanent (Lk 13:8–9).
- 13:10–17 The cure of the crippled woman on the sabbath and the controversy that results furnishes a parallel to an incident that will be reported by Luke in 14:1–6, the cure of the man with dropsy on the sabbath. A characteristic of Luke’s style is the juxtaposition of an incident that reveals Jesus’ concern for a man with an incident that reveals his concern for a woman; cf., e.g., Lk 7:11–17 and Lk 8:49–56.
- 13:15–16 If the law as interpreted by Jewish tradition allowed for the untying of bound animals on the sabbath, how much more should this woman who has been bound by Satan’s power be freed on the sabbath from her affliction.
- 13:16 Whom Satan has bound: affliction and infirmity are taken as evidence of Satan’s hold on humanity. The healing ministry of Jesus reveals the gradual wresting from Satan of control over humanity and the establishment of God’s kingdom.
- 13:18–21 Two parables are used to illustrate the future proportions of the kingdom of God that will result from its deceptively small beginning in the preaching and healing ministry of Jesus. They are paralleled in Mt 13:31–33 and Mk 4:30–32.
- 13:22–30 These sayings of Jesus follow in Luke upon the parables of the kingdom (Lk 13:18–21) and stress that great effort is required for entrance into the kingdom (Lk 13:24) and that there is an urgency to accept the present opportunity to enter because the narrow door will not remain open indefinitely (Lk 13:25). Lying behind the sayings is the rejection of Jesus and his message by his Jewish contemporaries (Lk 13:26) whose places at table in the kingdom will be taken by Gentiles from the four corners of the world (Lk 13:29). Those called last (the Gentiles) will precede those to whom the invitation to enter was first extended (the Jews). See also Lk 14:15–24.
- 13:32 Nothing, not even Herod’s desire to kill Jesus, stands in the way of Jesus’ role in fulfilling God’s will and in establishing the kingdom through his exorcisms and healings.
- 13:33 It is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem: Jerusalem is the city of destiny and the goal of the journey of the prophet Jesus. Only when he reaches the holy city will his work be accomplished.
