论安息日治病
14 有个安息日，耶稣到一位法利赛人的首领家里作客，人们密切地监视祂。 2 当时有一个患水肿病的人在耶稣面前， 3 耶稣问法利赛人和律法教师：“在安息日可以医病吗？”
4 他们都闭口不言。耶稣便扶着那人把他医好，叫他走了， 5 然后又问他们：“如果你们有驴[a]或牛在安息日掉进井里，难道你们不会立刻把它拉上来吗？” 6 他们都哑口无言。
论谦卑
7 耶稣在宴席中看见宾客们都争着坐首位，就用比喻对他们说： 8 “参加婚宴的时候，不要坐在首位，因为或许有更尊贵的宾客来赴宴， 9 主人会把他带到你面前，说，‘请你把首位让给他吧！’你就要满面羞愧地退到末位去了。 10 你去赴宴时，应该先坐在末位，这样主人会对你说，‘朋友，请上坐！’那时，你在宾客面前就有光彩了。 11 因为自高的人必遭贬抑，谦卑的人必得尊荣。”
论待客之道
12 耶稣又对主人说：“摆设午宴、晚宴时，不要邀请你的朋友、弟兄、亲戚或有钱的邻居，免得他们回请你，你便得到报答了。 13 相反，你设宴时，要邀请贫穷的、残疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 这样你就有福了，因为他们都没有能力回报你，到了义人复活那天，上帝一定会赏赐你。”
大宴席的比喻
15 同席的一个客人听了这番话，就对耶稣说：“能够在上帝的国坐席的人多么有福啊！”
16 于是，耶稣对他说：“有一个人大摆宴席，邀请了许多客人。 17 要开席的时候，主人就派奴仆去对客人说，‘一切都准备好了，来赴宴吧！’ 18 可是，他们都找借口推辞。头一个说，‘我刚买了一块田，必须去看一看，请恕我不能参加。’ 19 另一个说，‘我新买了五对牛，要去试一试，请恕我不能参加。’ 20 还有一个说，‘我刚结了婚，所以不能去。’ 21 奴仆回来将这些话告诉主人，主人非常生气，于是对奴仆说，‘快出去到城里的大街小巷把贫穷的、残疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的都请来。’ 22 奴仆说，‘主人啊，我照你的吩咐办了，可是还有空位。’ 23 主人又说，‘出去到大路上、篱笆旁硬把人拉来，让我家里座无虚席。 24 我告诉你们，原来邀请的那些人没有一个能尝到我的宴席！’”
做门徒的代价
25 有一大群人跟着耶稣，祂转身对他们说： 26 “若有人要跟从我，就要爱我胜过爱他的父母、妻子、儿女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至自己的生命，否则就不能做我的门徒。 27 若不背起自己的十字架跟从我，就不能做我的门徒。
28 “哪有人建楼房不事先坐下来计算成本，看能否建成？ 29 否则，打好了地基却不能完工，徒惹别人嘲笑， 30 ‘这个人开了工，却不能完工！’
31 “哪有王要跟另一个王打仗时，不先坐下来酌量一下自己的一万人是否敌得过对方的两万人？ 32 如果自知不敌，一定趁敌人还远的时候，就差使者去求和。
33 “同样，你们若不撇下一切，就不能做我的门徒。 34 盐本来是好的，但如果盐失去了咸味，怎能使它再变咸呢？ 35 没有味的盐，既不利于土壤，也不适宜作肥料，只好丢掉。有耳可听的，就应当听。”

論安息日治病
14 有個安息日，耶穌到一位法利賽人的首領家裡作客，人們密切地監視祂。 2 當時有一個患水腫病的人在耶穌面前， 3 耶穌問法利賽人和律法教師：「在安息日可以醫病嗎？」
4 他們都閉口不言。耶穌便扶著那人把他醫好，叫他走了， 5 然後又問他們：「如果你們有驢[a]或牛在安息日掉進井裡，難道你們不會立刻把牠拉上來嗎？」 6 他們都啞口無言。
論謙卑
7 耶穌在宴席中看見賓客們都爭著坐首位，就用比喻對他們說： 8 「參加婚宴的時候，不要坐在首位，因為或許有更尊貴的賓客來赴宴， 9 主人會把他帶到你面前，說，『請你把首位讓給他吧！』你就要滿面羞愧地退到末位去了。 10 你去赴宴時，應該先坐在末位，這樣主人會對你說，『朋友，請上坐！』那時，你在賓客面前就有光彩了。 11 因為自高的人必遭貶抑，謙卑的人必得尊榮。」
論待客之道
12 耶穌又對主人說：「擺設午宴、晚宴時，不要邀請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或有錢的鄰居，免得他們回請你，你便得到報答了。 13 相反，你設宴時，要邀請貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 這樣你就有福了，因為他們都沒有能力回報你，到了義人復活那天，上帝一定會賞賜你。」
大宴席的比喻
15 同席的一個客人聽了這番話，就對耶穌說：「能夠在上帝的國坐席的人多麼有福啊！」
16 於是，耶穌對他說：「有一個人大擺宴席，邀請了許多客人。 17 要開席的時候，主人就派奴僕去對客人說，『一切都準備好了，來赴宴吧！』 18 可是，他們都找藉口推辭。頭一個說，『我剛買了一塊田，必須去看一看，請恕我不能參加。』 19 另一個說，『我新買了五對牛，要去試一試，請恕我不能參加。』 20 還有一個說，『我剛結了婚，所以不能去。』 21 奴僕回來將這些話告訴主人，主人非常生氣，於是對奴僕說，『快出去到城裡的大街小巷把貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的都請來。』 22 奴僕說，『主人啊，我照你的吩咐辦了，可是還有空位。』 23 主人又說，『出去到大路上、籬笆旁硬把人拉來，讓我家裡座無虛席。 24 我告訴你們，原來邀請的那些人沒有一個能嚐到我的宴席！』」
做門徒的代價
25 有一大群人跟著耶穌，祂轉身對他們說： 26 「若有人要跟從我，就要愛我勝過愛他的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至自己的生命，否則就不能作我的門徒。 27 若不背起自己的十字架跟從我，就不能作我的門徒。
28 「哪有人建樓房不事先坐下來計算成本，看能否建成？ 29 否則，打好了地基卻不能完工，徒惹別人嘲笑， 30 『這個人開了工，卻不能完工！』
31 「哪有王要跟另一個王打仗時，不先坐下來酌量一下自己的一萬人是否敵得過對方的兩萬人？ 32 如果自知不敵，一定趁敵人還遠的時候，就差使者去求和。
33 「同樣，你們若不撇下一切，就不能作我的門徒。 34 鹽本來是好的，但如果鹽失去了鹹味，怎能使它再變鹹呢？ 35 沒有味的鹽，既不利於土壤，也不適宜作肥料，只好丟掉。有耳可聽的，就應當聽。」

治好水臌病的人
14 在安息日，耶穌進了一個法利賽人領袖的家裡吃飯，眾人都在窺探他。 2 正好在他面前有一個患水臌病的人； 3 耶穌對律法師和法利賽人說：“在安息日治病，可以不可以呢？” 4 他們卻不出聲。耶穌扶著病人，治好他，叫他走了， 5 就對他們說：“你們中間誰的兒子或牛在安息日掉在井裡，不立刻把他拉上來呢？” 6 他們不能回答這些話。
耶穌教訓筵席的主人（參(A)
7 耶穌看見被邀請的客人選擇高位，就用比喻對他們說： 8 “你被邀請參加婚筵的時候，不要自己坐在高位上，恐怕有比你更尊貴的客人也被請來； 9 那請你又請他的人過來對你說：‘請你讓位給這個人。’那時你就慚愧地退居末位了。 10 你被邀請的時候，要坐在末位上，等請你的人過來對你說：‘朋友，請上座。’那時你在同席的人面前才有光彩。 11 因為凡高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己謙卑的，必要升高。” 12 耶穌又對邀請他的人說：“你設午餐或晚宴，不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或富裕的鄰舍，恐怕他們又回請你，你就得了報答。 13 你擺筵席的時候，總要邀請那貧窮的、殘廢的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 那你就有福了。因為他們沒有甚麼可以報答你，義人復活的時候，你必定得著報答。”
婚筵的比喻（參(B)
15 一起吃飯的人中有一個，聽了這些話，就對耶穌說：“在 神的國裡吃飯的人有福了。” 16 耶穌對他說：“有一個人大擺筵席，請了許多客人。 17 到了開席的時候，他打發僕人去對所請的人說：‘請來吧！樣樣都準備好了。’ 18 眾人一致推辭，頭一個說：‘我買了一塊地，不得不去看一看，請原諒我。’ 19 另一個說：‘我買了五對牛，要去試一試，請原諒我。’ 20 又一個說：‘我剛結了婚，不能去。’ 21 僕人回來把這些事告訴他主人，家主就發怒，對僕人說：‘快到城裡大街小巷去，把貧窮的、殘廢的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都領到這裡來。’ 22 僕人說：‘主啊，你所吩咐的已經辦了，還有空位。’ 23 主人就對僕人說：‘你出去到路邊籬畔，勉強人進來，好把我的屋子坐滿。 24 我告訴你們，先前請的那些人，一個也不得嘗我的筵席。’”
作門徒的代價（參(C)
25 有許多人與耶穌同行，他轉身對他們說： 26 “如果有人到我這裡來，愛我不超過愛（“愛我不超過愛”原文作“不恨”）自己的父母、妻子、兒女、兄弟、姊妹，甚至自己的性命，就不能作我的門徒。 27 凡不背著自己的十字架跟隨我的，也不能作我的門徒。 28 你們當中有誰要蓋一座樓，不先坐下計算費用，能不能蓋成呢？ 29 恐怕安了地基，而不能完成，所有看見的人都譏笑他， 30 說：‘這個人開了工，卻不能完工。’ 31 或者一個王去和別的王打仗，哪有不先坐下想想，能否用一萬兵去抵抗那領兩萬來攻打他的呢？ 32 如果不能，就該趁對方還遠的時候，派使者去談判和平的條件。 33 這樣，你們中間不論誰，如果不撇下一切所有的，就不能作我的門徒。
34 “鹽本來是好的，但如果失了味，怎能使它再鹹呢？ 35 或用在田裡，或放在糞裡，都不合適；只好扔在外面。有耳可聽的，就應當聽。”

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House(A)
14 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,(B) he was being carefully watched.(C) 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(D) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(E) 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[a] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”(F) 6 And they had nothing to say.
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(G) he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(H)
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,(I) 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(J)
The Parable of the Great Banquet(K)
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast(L) in the kingdom of God.”(M)
16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’(N)
22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”(O)
The Cost of Being a Disciple
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.(P) 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.(Q)
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(R)
34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(S) 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.(T)
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(U)

Luke 14
King James Version
14 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

7 耶穌看見被邀請的客人選擇高位，就用比喻對他們說： 8 “你被邀請參加婚筵的時候，不要自己坐在高位上，恐怕有比你更尊貴的客人也被請來； 9 那請你又請他的人過來對你說：‘請你讓位給這個人。’那時你就慚愧地退居末位了。 10 你被邀請的時候，要坐在末位上，等請你的人過來對你說：‘朋友，請上座。’那時你在同席的人面前才有光彩。 11 因為凡高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己謙卑的，必要升高。” 12 耶穌又對邀請他的人說：“你設午餐或晚宴，不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或富裕的鄰舍，恐怕他們又回請你，你就得了報答。 13 你擺筵席的時候，總要邀請那貧窮的、殘廢的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 那你就有福了。因為他們沒有甚麼可以報答你，義人復活的時候，你必定得著報答。”
婚筵的比喻（參(B)
15 一起吃飯的人中有一個，聽了這些話，就對耶穌說：“在 神的國裡吃飯的人有福了。” 16 耶穌對他說：“有一個人大擺筵席，請了許多客人。 17 到了開席的時候，他打發僕人去對所請的人說：‘請來吧！樣樣都準備好了。’ 18 眾人一致推辭，頭一個說：‘我買了一塊地，不得不去看一看，請原諒我。’ 19 另一個說：‘我買了五對牛，要去試一試，請原諒我。’ 20 又一個說：‘我剛結了婚，不能去。’ 21 僕人回來把這些事告訴他主人，家主就發怒，對僕人說：‘快到城裡大街小巷去，把貧窮的、殘廢的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都領到這裡來。’ 22 僕人說：‘主啊，你所吩咐的已經辦了，還有空位。’ 23 主人就對僕人說：‘你出去到路邊籬畔，勉強人進來，好把我的屋子坐滿。 24 我告訴你們，先前請的那些人，一個也不得嘗我的筵席。’”
作門徒的代價（參(C)
25 有許多人與耶穌同行，他轉身對他們說： 26 “如果有人到我這裡來，愛我不超過愛（“愛我不超過愛”原文作“不恨”）自己的父母、妻子、兒女、兄弟、姊妹，甚至自己的性命，就不能作我的門徒。 27 凡不背著自己的十字架跟隨我的，也不能作我的門徒。 28 你們當中有誰要蓋一座樓，不先坐下計算費用，能不能蓋成呢？ 29 恐怕安了地基，而不能完成，所有看見的人都譏笑他， 30 說：‘這個人開了工，卻不能完工。’ 31 或者一個王去和別的王打仗，哪有不先坐下想想，能否用一萬兵去抵抗那領兩萬來攻打他的呢？ 32 如果不能，就該趁對方還遠的時候，派使者去談判和平的條件。 33 這樣，你們中間不論誰，如果不撇下一切所有的，就不能作我的門徒。
34 “鹽本來是好的，但如果失了味，怎能使它再鹹呢？ 35 或用在田裡，或放在糞裡，都不合適；只好扔在外面。有耳可聽的，就應當聽。”

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House(A)
14 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,(B) he was being carefully watched.(C) 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(D) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(E) 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[a] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”(F) 6 And they had nothing to say.
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(G) he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(H)
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,(I) 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(J)
The Parable of the Great Banquet(K)
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast(L) in the kingdom of God.”(M)
16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’(N)
22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”(O)
The Cost of Being a Disciple
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.(P) 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.(Q)
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(R)
34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(S) 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.(T)
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(U)

Luke 14
King James Version
14 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

百夫长的信心
7 耶稣向众人讲完道后，进了迦百农。 2 当时，有一个百夫长很赏识的奴仆病了，生命垂危。 3 百夫长听说耶稣的事，就托几位犹太人的长老去请耶稣来医治他的奴仆。 4 他们便来恳求耶稣，说：“这位百夫长值得你帮助， 5 因为他爱我们的同胞，为我们建造会堂。” 6 耶稣就跟他们去了。
快抵达时，那百夫长又请几位朋友去见耶稣，对祂说：“主啊，不用劳驾，我不配让你亲自来我家。 7 我自认不配见你的面，只要你一句话，我的奴仆必定康复。 8 因为我有上司，也有部下。我命令我的部下去，他就去；要他来，他就来。我吩咐奴仆做什么事，他一定照办。”
9 耶稣听了这番话，感到惊奇，转身对跟从祂的百姓说：“我告诉你们，就是在以色列，我也从未见过有这么大信心的人。”
10 派去的几位朋友回到百夫长家里，发现那奴仆已经痊愈了。
寡妇的独子起死回生
11 过了不久[a]，耶稣去拿因城，随行的有门徒和一大群人。 12 耶稣快到城门口时，从城里走出一队送殡的人，死者是一个寡妇的独子，有许多城中的人陪着她。 13 耶稣看见那寡妇，怜悯之心油然而生，就对她说：“不要哭！” 14 随即上前按住抬尸架，抬的人停了下来。耶稣说：“年轻人，我吩咐你起来！” 15 那死者就坐了起来，并开口说话。耶稣把他交给他母亲。
16 在场的人惊惧万分，把荣耀归给上帝，说：“我们中间出了一位大先知！”又说：“上帝眷顾了祂的百姓！” 17 有关祂的这消息传遍了犹太和附近地区。
施洗者约翰的疑问
18 约翰从自己的门徒那里获悉这些事后， 19 就叫了两个门徒来，派他们去问主：“将要来的那位就是你吗？还是我们要等别人呢？”
20 他们找到耶稣，便问：“施洗者约翰派我们来请教你，‘将要来的那位就是你吗？还是我们要等别人呢？’”
21 那时，耶稣刚治好了许多患各种疾病和被鬼附身的人，又使许多瞎子得见光明。 22 耶稣便回答说：“你们回去把所见所闻告诉约翰，就是瞎子看见，瘸子走路，麻风病人得洁净，聋子听见，死人复活，穷人听到福音。 23 凡对我没有失去信心的人有福了！”
耶稣称赞施洗者约翰
24 约翰的门徒离去后，耶稣对众人谈论约翰，说：“你们从前去旷野要看什么呢？看随风摇动的芦苇吗？ 25 如果不是，你们到底想看什么？是看穿绫罗绸缎的人吗？那些衣着华丽、生活奢侈的人住在王宫里。 26 你们究竟想看什么？看先知吗？是的，我告诉你们，他不只是先知。 27 圣经上说，‘看啊，我要差遣我的使者在你前面为你预备道路。’这里所指的就是约翰。 28 我告诉你们，凡妇人所生的，没有一个比约翰大，但上帝国中最微不足道的也比他大。”
29 众百姓和税吏听了这番话，都承认上帝是公义的，因为他们接受了约翰的洗礼。 30 但那些法利赛人和律法教师没有接受约翰的洗礼，拒绝了上帝为他们所定的旨意。
31 主又说：“我用什么来比拟这个世代的人呢？他们像什么呢？ 32 他们就如街头上戏耍的孩童——彼此呼叫，
“‘我们吹娶亲的乐曲，
你们不跳舞；
我们唱送葬的哀歌，
你们不哭泣。’
33 施洗者约翰来了，禁食禁酒，你们就说他被鬼附身了； 34 人子来了，又吃又喝，你们就说，‘看啊，祂是个贪吃好酒之徒，与税吏和罪人为友！’ 35 然而，智慧会在追求智慧的人身上得到验证。”
罪妇的悔改
36 有一个法利赛人请耶稣到他家里吃饭，耶稣应邀赴宴。 37 那城里住着一个女人，生活败坏。她听说耶稣在那法利赛人家里吃饭，就带了一个盛满香膏的玉瓶进去。 38 她站在耶稣背后，挨着祂的脚哭，泪水滴湿了祂的脚，就用自己的头发擦干，又连连亲祂的脚，并抹上香膏。
39 请耶稣的法利赛人看在眼里，心想：“如果这人真的是先知，就该知道摸祂的是谁，是个什么样的女人，她是个罪人。”
40 耶稣对他说：“西门，我有话跟你说。”
西门答道：“老师，请说。”
41 耶稣说：“有一个债主借给一个人五百个银币，又借给另一个人五十个银币。 42 二人都没有能力还债，这位债主就免了他们的债务。你想，哪一位会更爱债主呢？”
43 西门答道：“我相信是那个被免去较多债的人。”
44 耶稣说：“你判断得对！”随后转向那女人，继续对西门说：“你看见这女人了吗？我到你家里来，你没有拿水给我洗脚，这女人却用她的眼泪洗我的脚，还亲自用头发擦干。 45 你没有亲吻我，但我进来以后，这女人却不停地吻我的脚。 46 你没有用油为我抹头，这女人却用香膏抹我的脚。 47 所以我告诉你，她众多的罪都被赦免了，因此她的爱深切；那些获得赦免少的，他们的爱也少。”
48 耶稣对那女人说：“你的罪都被赦免了。”
49 同席的人彼此议论说：“这人是谁？竟然能赦免人的罪！”
50 耶稣又对那女人说：“你的信心救了你，平安地走吧！”
撒种的比喻
8 此后，耶稣到各城镇去传扬上帝国的福音。同行的有十二使徒， 2 还有几个曾被邪灵和疾病缠身、现在已被医治的妇女。其中有抹大拉的玛丽亚，耶稣曾经从她身上赶出七个鬼， 3 还有希律的管家苦撒的妻子约亚拿，此外还有苏撒拿等其他妇女。她们用自己的钱财资助耶稣和门徒。
4 那时，人群络绎不绝地从各地聚集到耶稣面前，耶稣用比喻教导他们，说： 5 “有一个农夫到田里撒种，有些种子落在路旁，被人践踏，又被飞鸟吃掉了； 6 有些落在盖着浅土的石头地上，因水分不足，幼苗刚长出来就枯萎了； 7 有些落在荆棘丛中，荆棘长起来便把幼苗挤住了； 8 有些落在沃土里，发芽生长，结出百倍的果实。”耶稣讲完这番话后，高声说：“有耳可听的，就要留心听。”
9 门徒请耶稣解释这比喻的意思， 10 耶稣便说：“上帝国的奥秘只让你们知道，对其他人，我就用比喻，使他们看却看不见，听却听不明白。 11 这个比喻的意思是这样，种子代表上帝的道， 12 种子落在路旁是指人听了道，随后魔鬼来把道从他们心里夺走了，不让他们相信并得救。 13 种子落在盖着浅土的石头地上是指人听了道，欣然接受了，但是没有根基，只是暂时相信，一遇到试炼就放弃了。 14 种子落在荆棘丛中是指人听了道，后来被生活的忧虑、钱财和享乐缠住了，以致结不出成熟的果实来。 15 种子落在沃土里则是指人听了道，用诚实良善的心坚忍持守，至终结出果实。
点灯的比喻
16 “没有人点了灯，却用器皿把它盖起来或放到床底下，而是放在灯台上，使进来的人能见到光。 17 掩盖的事终会暴露出来，隐藏的秘密终会被人知道。 18 因此，你们要留心听，因为凡有的，还要给他更多；凡没有的，连他自以为已经拥有的也要被夺去。”
耶稣的亲属
19 这时，耶稣的母亲和兄弟来找祂，由于人太多，他们无法靠近耶稣， 20 有人就对祂说：“你的母亲和兄弟在外面想见你。” 21 耶稣却说：“听见上帝的话语并遵行的人就是我的母亲、我的弟兄。”
平静风浪
22 有一天，耶稣对门徒说：“我们到湖的对岸去吧。”于是他们坐船前往对岸。 23 途中耶稣睡着了。不料湖上忽然狂风大作，船灌满了水，非常危险。 24 门徒过来唤醒耶稣，说：“主啊，主啊！我们快淹死了！”
耶稣醒来，就斥责风浪，顿时风平浪静了。
25 耶稣对他们说：“你们的信心在哪里呢？”
门徒又惊又怕，彼此议论说：“祂究竟是谁？一发命令，连风浪都听祂的！”
格拉森赶鬼
26 他们渡过加利利湖，到了格拉森地区。 27 耶稣上岸后，迎面遇见当地一个被鬼附身的人。那人长期赤身露体，不住在房屋里，只住在墓穴中。 28 他一见到耶稣，就扑倒在祂面前，高声喊叫：“至高上帝的儿子耶稣，我和你有什么关系？求求你，不要折磨我！” 29 这是因为耶稣已命令污鬼离开那人。那人多次被污鬼操纵，人们用铁链脚镣把他锁起来看管，他竟把锁链也扯断，被鬼催逼到荒野。
30 耶稣问他：“你叫什么名字？”
他说：“我叫‘群’。”因为有一大群鬼附在那人身上。 31 鬼不断央求耶稣不要叫它们到无底坑去。
32 当时有一大群猪在附近山坡上觅食，污鬼就央求耶稣准许它们进入猪群，耶稣答应了。 33 于是那群鬼便离开那人，进入猪群。那群猪就一路奔下陡坡，冲进湖里淹死了。 34 放猪的人见此情形拔腿就跑，把这事告诉了城里和乡下的人。 35 人们出来看个究竟，到了耶稣那里，发现那曾被鬼附身的人衣着整齐、神智清醒地坐在耶稣脚前，他们都很害怕。 36 目击者把事情的始末告诉了他们。 37 格拉森地区的居民都十分害怕，请求耶稣离开那里，耶稣便乘船回去了。
38 那从前被鬼附身的人恳求跟耶稣同行，耶稣却对他说： 39 “你回家吧，把上帝为你所行的奇事告诉别人。”他就回去，走遍全城，四处传扬耶稣为他所行的奇事。
雅鲁求救
40 耶稣回到对岸，受到等候在那里的百姓的欢迎。 41 一个名叫雅鲁的会堂主管走过来俯伏在耶稣脚前，求耶稣到他家去，因为他有一个大约十二岁的独生女快要死了。
42 耶稣前去雅鲁家的时候，人群拥挤着祂。
患血漏病妇人的信心
43 有一个患了十二年血漏病的妇人耗尽了积蓄，到处求医，但没有人能医治她。 44 妇人挤到耶稣的背后，摸了一下祂衣服的穗边，她的血漏立刻止住了。
45 耶稣问：“谁摸我？”没有人说摸过祂。
彼得说：“老师，众人都在拥挤你。”
46 耶稣却说：“一定有人摸了我，因为我感觉有能力从我身上出去。”
47 那妇人知道无法隐瞒，就战战兢兢地走过来，俯伏在耶稣脚前，把她摸了耶稣的衣裳后顽疾马上痊愈的始末当众说了出来。
48 耶稣对她说：“女儿，你的信心救了你！安心回去吧。”
雅鲁女儿死而复活
49 耶稣还在说话的时候，有人从雅鲁家赶来，对雅鲁说：“你的女儿已经死了，不用麻烦老师了。”
50 耶稣听见，就对雅鲁说：“不要怕，只要信。你的女儿一定会好的！”
51 到了雅鲁家，耶稣只准彼得、雅各、约翰和雅鲁夫妇跟祂进去。 52 屋内的人都在为那女孩哀伤哭泣，耶稣说：“不要哭，她没有死，只是睡着了。” 53 众人就讥笑祂，因为他们明明知道那女孩死了。 54 耶稣拉着那女孩的手，说：“孩子，起来！” 55 她的灵魂就回来了，她立刻站了起来。耶稣吩咐人给她东西吃。 56 她的父母非常惊讶，耶稣却嘱咐他们不要把这事传开。
差遣十二使徒
9 耶稣召集了十二个使徒，赐他们能力和权柄可以医病赶鬼， 2 又差遣他们出去宣讲上帝国的福音、医治病人。 3 耶稣叮嘱他们：“出门的时候，什么也不要带，不要带手杖、背包、干粮、金钱，也不要带两件衣服。 4 有人家接待你们，就住下来，一直住到你们离开。 5 如果有人不欢迎你们，你们在离开那城的时候，就把脚上的尘土跺掉，作为对他们的警告。”
6 使徒领命出发，走遍各个乡村，到处宣扬福音，替人治病。
希律的困惑
7 耶稣的事迹很快便传到希律耳中，令他十分困惑，因为有人说：“约翰死而复活了”， 8 有人说：“以利亚显现了”，还有人说：“古代的某个先知复活了”。 9 希律说：“约翰已经被我斩首，这个行奇事的人到底是谁呢？”于是他想见耶稣。
五饼二鱼的神迹
10 使徒回来后，向耶稣报告了他们所行的事。随后耶稣带着他们悄悄地来到伯赛大城。 11 但百姓发现了耶稣的行踪，随即也赶来了。耶稣接待他们，向他们宣讲天国的福音，医好了有病的人。 12 黄昏将近，十二个使徒过来对耶稣说：“请遣散众人，好让他们到附近的村庄去借宿找吃的，因为这地方很偏僻。”
13 耶稣对他们说：“你们给他们吃的吧。”
使徒们说：“我们只有五个饼和两条鱼，除非我们去买食物才够这么一大群人吃。” 14 当时那里约有五千男人。
耶稣便对使徒说：“让这些人分组坐下，每组大约五十人。” 15 于是使徒安排众人都坐好。 16 耶稣拿起那五个饼、两条鱼，举目望着天祝谢后，掰开递给门徒，让他们分给众人。 17 大家都吃饱了，把剩下的零碎收拾起来，竟装满了十二个篮子。
彼得宣告耶稣是基督
18 有一次，耶稣独自祷告的时候，门徒也在旁边。
耶稣问他们：“人们说我是谁？”
19 他们答道：“有人说你是施洗者约翰，也有人说你是以利亚，或是一位复活的古代先知。”
20 耶稣对他们说：“那么，你们说我是谁？”
彼得回答说：“你是上帝所立的基督。”
21 耶稣郑重地吩咐他们不许泄露祂的身份， 22 又说：“人子必须受许多苦，被长老、祭司长和律法教师弃绝，杀害，但必在第三天复活。”
跟从主的代价
23 耶稣又教导众人说：“如果有人要跟从我，就应当舍己，天天背起他的十字架跟从我。 24 因为想救自己生命的，必失去生命；但为了我而失去生命的，必得到生命。 25 人若赚得全世界，却失去自己或丧掉自己，又有什么益处呢？ 26 如果有人以我和我的道为耻，将来人子在自己、天父和圣天使的荣耀中降临时，也必以这人为耻。 27 我实在告诉你们，有些站在这里的人在有生之年就必看见上帝的国。”
登山变象
28 讲完这些话后大约八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰和雅各一同到山上祷告。 29 耶稣在祷告的时候，容貌改变了，衣裳洁白发光。 30 忽然，摩西和以利亚二人在跟耶稣交谈。 31 二人在荣光中显现，谈论有关耶稣离世的事情，就是祂在耶路撒冷将要成就的事。 32 彼得和两个同伴都困得睡着了，他们醒来后，看见了耶稣的荣光以及站在祂身边的两个人。 33 当摩西和以利亚要离开时，彼得对耶稣说：“老师，我们在这里真好！让我们搭三座帐篷，一座给你，一座给摩西，一座给以利亚。”其实彼得并不知道自己在说什么。 34 他的话还没说完，有一朵云彩飘来，笼罩他们，他们进入云彩中，都很害怕。 35 云彩中有声音说：“这是我的儿子，是我拣选的，你们要听从祂！” 36 声音消逝了，门徒只见耶稣独自在那里。那些日子，他们对这事都绝口不提，没有告诉任何人。
山下赶鬼
37 次日，他们来到山下，有一大群人迎接耶稣。 38 人群中有一个人高声喊叫：“老师，求求你看看我的儿子吧！他是我的独生子， 39 鬼控制着他，他常常突然狂喊乱叫、抽搐、口吐白沫，倍受折磨，无休无止。 40 我曾求过你的门徒把鬼赶出去，但他们都无能为力。”
41 耶稣回答说：“唉！这又不信又败坏的世代啊！我要跟你们在一起容忍你们多久呢？把你的儿子带来吧。”
42 那孩子走过来时，鬼又把他摔倒，使他抽搐，耶稣立刻斥责污鬼，把那孩子治好了，交给他父亲。 43 大家看见了上帝的大能，都很惊奇。
再次预言受难
他们正为耶稣所做的一切惊讶不已时，耶稣对门徒说： 44 “你们要牢记人子所说的话，因为祂将要被交到人的手里。” 45 但门徒不明白这句话的意思，因为还没有向他们显明，他们听不懂，又不敢追问耶稣。
论地位
46 门徒开始议论他们当中谁最伟大。 47 耶稣知道他们的心思，就叫了一个小孩子来，让他站在自己身旁， 48 然后对门徒说：“任何人为了我的缘故接待这样一个小孩子，就是接待我；接待我，就是接待差我来的那位。你们当中最卑微的其实是最伟大的。”
49 约翰说：“老师，我们看见有人奉你的名赶鬼，就阻止他，因为他不是和我们一起跟从你的。” 50 耶稣却对他说：“你不要阻止他，因为不反对你们的，就是支持你们的。”
不肯接待耶稣的村庄
51 耶稣被接回天家的日子快到了，祂决定前往耶路撒冷。 52 祂先派人到撒玛利亚的一个村庄去预备食宿， 53 但撒玛利亚人见他们是上耶路撒冷去的，不肯接待他们。 54 祂的门徒雅各和约翰见状，说：“主啊，你要我们[b]叫天上的火降下来烧死他们吗？” 55 耶稣转过身来责备他们[c]。 56 接着，一行人改道去另一个村子。
跟从主的代价
57 在路上有人对耶稣说：“无论你往哪里去，我都要跟从你。”
58 耶稣对他说：“狐狸有洞，飞鸟有窝，人子却没有安枕之处。”
59 耶稣又对另一个人说：“跟从我！”但是那人说：“主啊，请让我先回去安葬我的父亲。”
60 耶稣说：“让死人去埋葬他们的死人吧，你只管去传扬上帝国的福音。”
61 又有一个人说：“主啊！我愿意跟从你，但请让我先回去向家人告别。”
62 耶稣说：“手扶着犁向后看的人不配进上帝的国。”
差遣门徒
10 事后，主拣选了七十个门徒[d]，差遣他们两个两个地出去，先到祂将要去的城镇村庄， 2 并对他们说：“要收割的庄稼很多，工人却很少，因此你们要祈求庄稼的主人派更多的工人去收割祂的庄稼。
3 “你们去吧！我差你们出去，就像把羊羔送入狼群。 4 钱袋、背包和鞋都不要带，在路上也不要与人寒暄。 5 无论到哪一户人家，要先说，‘愿祝福临到这家！’ 6 如果那里有配得祝福的人，祝福自然会临到那人，否则祝福仍归给你们。 7 不要搬来搬去，要固定住在一家，接受那家的款待，因为工人理应得到工钱。
8 “你们无论到哪一个城镇，如果人们接待你们，就吃他们摆上的饮食。 9 要医治那城里的病人，告诉他们，‘上帝的国临近你们了。’ 10 但如果哪一个城镇的人不欢迎你们，你们就到街上宣告， 11 ‘就连你们城里的尘土粘在我们脚上，我们都要跺掉，但是要知道，上帝的国临近了。’ 12 我告诉你们，在审判之日，那城所受的刑罚将比所多玛所受的还重！

百夫長的信心
7 耶穌向眾人講完道後，進了迦百農。 2 當時，有一個百夫長很賞識的奴僕病了，生命垂危。 3 百夫長聽說耶穌的事，就託幾位猶太人的長老去請耶穌來醫治他的奴僕。 4 他們便來懇求耶穌，說：「這位百夫長值得你幫助， 5 因為他愛我們的同胞，為我們建造會堂。」 6 耶穌就跟他們去了。
快抵達時，那百夫長又請幾位朋友去見耶穌，對祂說：「主啊，不用勞駕，我不配讓你親自來我家。 7 我自認不配見你的面，只要你一句話，我的奴僕必定康復。 8 因為我有上司，也有部下。我命令我的部下去，他就去；要他來，他就來。我吩咐奴僕做什麼事，他一定照辦。」
9 耶穌聽了這番話，感到驚奇，轉身對跟從祂的百姓說：「我告訴你們，就是在以色列，我也從未見過有這麼大信心的人。」
10 派去的幾位朋友回到百夫長家裡，發現那奴僕已經痊癒了。
寡婦獨子的起死回生
11 過了不久[a]，耶穌去拿因城，隨行的有門徒和一大群人。 12 耶穌快到城門口時，從城裡走出一隊送殯的人，死者是一個寡婦的獨子，有許多城中的人陪著她。 13 耶穌看見那寡婦，憐憫之心油然而生，就對她說：「不要哭！」 14 隨即上前按住抬屍架，抬的人停了下來。耶穌說：「年輕人，我吩咐你起來！」 15 那死者就坐了起來，並開口說話。耶穌把他交給他母親。
16 在場的人驚懼萬分，把榮耀歸給上帝，說：「我們中間出了一位大先知！」又說：「上帝眷顧了祂的百姓！」 17 有關祂的這消息傳遍了猶太和附近地區。
施洗者約翰的疑問
18 約翰從自己的門徒那裡獲悉這些事後， 19 就叫了兩個門徒來，派他們去問主：「將要來的那位就是你嗎？還是我們要等別人呢？」
20 他們找到耶穌，便問：「施洗者約翰派我們來請教你，『將要來的那位就是你嗎？還是我們要等別人呢？』」
21 那時，耶穌剛治好了許多患各種疾病和被鬼附身的人，又使許多瞎子得見光明。 22 耶穌便回答說：「你們回去把所見所聞告訴約翰，就是瞎子看見，瘸子走路，痲瘋病人得潔淨，聾子聽見，死人復活，窮人聽到福音。 23 凡對我沒有失去信心的人有福了！」
耶穌稱讚施洗者約翰
24 約翰的門徒離去後，耶穌對眾人談論約翰，說：「你們從前去曠野要看什麼呢？看隨風搖動的蘆葦嗎？ 25 如果不是，你們到底想看什麼？是看穿綾羅綢緞的人嗎？那些衣著華麗、生活奢侈的人住在王宮裡。 26 你們究竟想看什麼？看先知嗎？是的，我告訴你們，他不只是先知。 27 聖經上說，『看啊，我要差遣我的使者在你前面為你預備道路。』這裡所指的就是約翰。 28 我告訴你們，凡婦人所生的，沒有一個比約翰大，但上帝國中最微不足道的也比他大。」
29 眾百姓和稅吏聽了這番話，都承認上帝是公義的，因為他們接受了約翰的洗禮。 30 但那些法利賽人和律法教師沒有接受約翰的洗禮，拒絕了上帝為他們所定的旨意。
31 主又說：「我用什麼來比擬這個世代的人呢？他們像什麼呢？ 32 他們就如街頭上戲耍的孩童——彼此呼叫，
『我們吹娶親的樂曲，
你們不跳舞；
我們唱送葬的哀歌，
你們不哭泣。』
33 施洗者約翰來了，禁食禁酒，你們就說他被鬼附身了； 34 人子來了，又吃又喝，你們就說，『看啊，祂是個貪吃好酒之徒，與稅吏和罪人爲友！』 35 然而，智慧會在追求智慧的人身上得到驗證。」
罪婦的悔改
36 有一個法利賽人請耶穌到他家裡吃飯，耶穌應邀赴宴。 37 那城裡住著一個女人，生活敗壞。她聽說耶穌在那法利賽人家裡吃飯，就帶了一個盛滿香膏的玉瓶進去。 38 她站在耶穌背後，挨著祂的腳哭，淚水滴濕了祂的腳，就用自己的頭髮擦乾，又連連親祂的腳，並抹上香膏。
39 請耶穌的法利賽人看在眼裡，心想：「如果這人真的是先知，就該知道摸祂的是誰，是個什麼樣的女人，她是個罪人。」
40 耶穌對他說：「西門，我有話跟你說。」
西門答道：「老師，請說。」
41 耶穌說：「有一個債主借給一個人五百個銀幣，又借給另一個人五十個銀幣。 42 二人都沒有能力還債，這位債主就免了他們的債務。你想，哪一位會更愛債主呢？」
43 西門答道：「我相信是那個被免去較多債的人。」
44 耶穌說：「你判斷得對！」隨後轉向那女人，繼續對西門說：「你看見這女人了嗎？我到你家裡來，你沒有拿水給我洗腳，這女人卻用她的眼淚洗我的腳，還親自用頭髮擦乾。 45 你沒有親吻我，但我進來以後，這女人卻不停地吻我的腳。 46 你沒有用油為我抹頭，這女人卻用香膏抹我的腳。 47 所以我告訴你，她眾多的罪都被赦免了，因此她的愛深切；那些獲得赦免少的，他們的愛也少。」
48 耶穌對那女人說：「你的罪都被赦免了。」
49 同席的人彼此議論說：「這人是誰？竟然能赦免人的罪！」
50 耶穌又對那女人說：「你的信心救了你，平安地走吧！」
撒種的比喻
8 此後，耶穌到各城鎮去傳揚上帝國的福音。同行的有十二使徒， 2 還有幾個曾被邪靈和疾病纏身、現在已被醫治的婦女。其中有抹大拉的瑪麗亞，耶穌曾經從她身上趕出七個鬼， 3 還有希律的管家苦撒的妻子約亞娜，此外還有蘇珊娜等其他婦女。她們用自己的錢財資助耶穌和門徒。
4 那時，人群絡繹不絕地從各地聚集到耶穌面前，耶穌用比喻教導他們，說： 5 「有一個農夫到田裡撒種，有些種子落在路旁，被人踐踏，又被飛鳥吃掉了； 6 有些落在蓋著淺土的石頭地上，因水分不足，幼苗剛長出來就枯萎了； 7 有些落在荊棘叢中，荊棘長起來便把幼苗擠住了； 8 有些落在沃土裡，發芽生長，結出百倍的果實。」耶穌講完這番話後，高聲說：「有耳可聽的，就要留心聽。」
9 門徒請耶穌解釋這比喻的意思， 10 耶穌便說：「上帝國的奧祕只讓你們知道，對其他人，我就用比喻，使他們看卻看不見，聽卻聽不明白。 11 這個比喻的意思是這樣，種子代表上帝的道， 12 種子落在路旁是指人聽了道，隨後魔鬼來把道從他們心裡奪走了，不讓他們相信並得救； 13 種子落在蓋著淺土的石頭地上是指人聽了道，欣然接受了，但是沒有根基，只是暫時相信，一遇到試煉就放棄了； 14 種子落在荊棘叢中是指人聽了道，後來被生活的憂慮、錢財和享樂纏住了，以致結不出成熟的果實來； 15 種子落在沃土裡則是指人聽了道，用誠實良善的心堅忍持守，至終結出果實。
點燈的比喻
16 「沒有人點了燈，卻用器皿把它蓋起來或放到床底下，而是放在燈臺上，使進來的人能見到光。 17 掩蓋的事終會暴露出來，隱藏的秘密終會被人知道。 18 因此，你們要留心聽，因為凡有的，還要給他更多；凡沒有的，連他自以為已經擁有的也要被奪去。」
耶穌的親屬
19 這時，耶穌的母親和兄弟來找祂，由於人太多，他們無法靠近耶穌， 20 有人就對祂說：「你的母親和兄弟在外面想見你。」 21 耶穌卻說：「聽見上帝的話語並遵行的人就是我的母親、我的弟兄。」
平靜風浪
22 有一天，耶穌對門徒說：「我們到湖的對岸去吧。」於是他們坐船前往對岸。 23 途中耶穌睡著了。不料湖上忽然狂風大作，船灌滿了水，非常危險。 24 門徒過來喚醒耶穌，說：「主啊，主啊！我們快淹死了！」
耶穌醒來，就斥責風浪，頓時風平浪靜了。
25 耶穌對他們說：「你們的信心在哪裡呢？」
門徒又驚又怕，彼此議論說：「祂究竟是誰？一發命令，連風浪都聽祂的！」
格拉森趕鬼
26 他們渡過加利利湖，到了格拉森地區。 27 耶穌上岸後，迎面遇見當地一個被鬼附身的人。那人長期赤身露體，不住在房屋裡，只住在墓穴中。 28 他一見到耶穌，就仆倒在祂面前，高聲喊叫：「至高上帝的兒子耶穌，我和你有什麼關係？求求你，不要折磨我！」 29 這是因為耶穌已命令污鬼離開那人。那人多次被污鬼操縱，人們用鐵鏈腳鐐把他鎖起來看管，他竟把鎖鏈也扯斷，被鬼催逼到荒野。
30 耶穌問他：「你叫什麼名字？」
他說：「我叫『群』。」因為有一大群鬼附在那人身上。 31 鬼不斷央求耶穌不要叫牠們到無底坑去。
32 當時有一大群豬在附近山坡上覓食，污鬼就央求耶穌准許牠們進入豬群，耶穌答應了。 33 於是那群鬼便離開那人，進入豬群。那群豬就一路奔下陡坡，衝進湖裡淹死了。 34 放豬的人見此情形拔腿就跑，把這事告訴了城裡和鄉下的人。 35 人們出來看個究竟，到了耶穌那裡，發現那曾被鬼附身的人衣著整齊、神智清醒地坐在耶穌腳前，他們都很害怕。 36 目擊者把事情的始末告訴了他們。 37 格拉森地區的居民都十分害怕，請求耶穌離開那裡，耶穌便乘船回去了。
38 那從前被鬼附身的人懇求跟耶穌同行，耶穌卻對他說： 39 「你回家吧，把上帝為你所行的奇事告訴別人。」他就回去，走遍全城，四處傳揚耶穌為他所行的奇事。
雅魯求救
40 耶穌回到對岸，受到等候在那裡的百姓的歡迎。 41 一個名叫雅魯的會堂主管走過來俯伏在耶穌腳前，求耶穌到他家去，因為他有一個大約十二歲的獨生女快要死了。
42 耶穌前去雅魯家的時候，人群擁擠著祂。
患血漏病婦人的信心
43 有一個患了十二年血漏病的婦人耗盡了積蓄，到處求醫，但沒有人能醫治她。 44 婦人擠到耶穌的背後，摸了一下祂衣服的穗邊，她的血漏立刻止住了。
45 耶穌問：「誰摸我？」沒有人說摸過祂。
彼得說：「老師，眾人都在擁擠你。」
46 耶穌卻說：「一定有人摸了我，因為我感覺有能力從我身上出去。」
47 那婦人知道無法隱瞞，就戰戰兢兢地走過來，俯伏在耶穌腳前，把她摸了耶穌的衣裳後頑疾馬上痊癒的始末當眾說了出來。
48 耶穌對她說：「女兒，你的信心救了你！安心回去吧。」
雅魯女兒死而復活
49 耶穌還在說話的時候，有人從雅魯家趕來，對雅魯說：「你的女兒已經死了，不用麻煩老師了。」
50 耶穌聽見，就對雅魯說：「不要怕，只要信。你的女兒一定會好的！」
51 到了雅魯家，耶穌只准彼得、雅各、約翰和雅魯夫婦跟祂進去。 52 屋內的人都在為那女孩哀傷哭泣，耶穌說：「不要哭，她沒有死，只是睡著了。」 53 眾人就譏笑祂，因為他們明明知道那女孩死了。 54 耶穌拉著那女孩的手，說：「孩子，起來！」 55 她的靈魂就回來了，她立刻站了起來。耶穌吩咐人給她東西吃。 56 她的父母非常驚訝，耶穌卻囑咐他們不要把這事傳開。
差遣十二使徒
9 耶穌召集了十二個使徒，賜他們能力和權柄可以醫病趕鬼， 2 又差遣他們出去宣講上帝國的福音、醫治病人。 3 耶穌叮囑他們：「出門的時候，什麼也不要帶，不要帶手杖、背包、乾糧、金錢，也不要帶兩件衣服。 4 有人家接待你們，就住下來，一直住到你們離開。 5 如果有人不歡迎你們，你們在離開那城的時候，就把腳上的塵土跺掉，作為對他們的警告。」
6 使徒領命出發，走遍各個鄉村，到處宣揚福音，替人治病。
希律的困惑
7 耶穌的事蹟很快便傳到希律耳中，令他十分困惑，因為有人說：「約翰死而復活了」， 8 有人說：「以利亞顯現了」，還有人說：「古代的某個先知復活了」。 9 希律說：「約翰已經被我斬首，這個行奇事的人到底是誰呢？」於是他想見耶穌。
五餅二魚的神蹟
10 使徒回來後，向耶穌報告了他們所行的事。隨後耶穌帶著他們悄悄地來到伯賽大城。 11 但百姓發現了耶穌的行蹤，隨即也趕來了。耶穌接待他們，向他們宣講天國的福音，醫好了有病的人。 12 黃昏將近，十二個使徒過來對耶穌說：「請遣散眾人，好讓他們到附近的村莊去借宿找吃的，因為這地方很偏僻。」
13 耶穌對他們說：「你們給他們吃的吧。」
使徒們說：「我們只有五個餅和兩條魚，除非我們去買食物才夠這麼一大群人吃。」 14 當時那裡約有五千男人。
耶穌便對使徒說：「讓這些人分組坐下，每組大約五十人。」 15 於是使徒安排眾人都坐好。 16 耶穌拿起那五個餅、兩條魚，舉目望著天祝謝後，掰開遞給門徒，讓他們分給眾人。 17 大家都吃飽了，把剩下的零碎收拾起來，竟裝滿了十二個籃子。
彼得宣告耶穌是基督
18 有一次，耶穌獨自禱告的時候，門徒也在旁邊。
耶穌問他們：「人們說我是誰？」
19 他們答道：「有人說你是施洗者約翰，也有人說你是以利亞，或是一位復活的古代先知。」
20 耶穌對他們說：「那麼，你們說我是誰？」
彼得回答說：「你是上帝所立的基督。」
21 耶穌鄭重地吩咐他們不許洩露祂的身分， 22 又說：「人子必須受許多苦，被長老、祭司長和律法教師棄絕，殺害，但必在第三天復活。」
跟從主的代價
23 耶穌又教導眾人說：「如果有人要跟從我，就應當捨己，天天背起他的十字架跟從我。 24 因為想救自己生命的，必失去生命；但為了我而失去生命的，必得到生命。 25 人若賺得全世界，卻失去自己或喪掉自己，又有什麼益處呢？ 26 如果有人以我和我的道為恥，將來人子在自己、天父和聖天使的榮耀中降臨時，也必以這人為恥。 27 我實在告訴你們，有些站在這裡的人在有生之年就必看見上帝的國。」
登山變象
28 講完這些話後大約八天，耶穌帶著彼得、約翰和雅各一同到山上禱告。 29 耶穌在禱告的時候，容貌改變了，衣裳潔白發光。 30 忽然，摩西和以利亞二人在跟耶穌交談。 31 二人在榮光中顯現，談論有關耶穌離世的事情，就是祂在耶路撒冷將要成就的事。 32 彼得和兩個同伴都睏得睡著了，他們醒來後，看見了耶穌的榮光以及站在祂身邊的兩個人。 33 當摩西和以利亞要離開時，彼得對耶穌說：「老師，我們在這裡真好！讓我們搭三座帳篷，一座給你，一座給摩西，一座給以利亞。」其實彼得並不知道自己在說什麼。 34 他的話還沒說完，有一朵雲彩飄來，籠罩他們，他們進入雲彩中，都很害怕。 35 雲彩中有聲音說：「這是我的兒子，是我揀選的，你們要聽從祂！」 36 聲音消逝了，門徒只見耶穌獨自在那裡。那些日子，他們對這事都絕口不提，沒有告訴任何人。
山下趕鬼
37 次日，他們來到山下，有一大群人迎接耶穌。 38 人群中有一個人高聲喊叫：「老師，求求你看看我的兒子吧！他是我的獨生子， 39 鬼控制著他，他常常突然狂喊亂叫、抽搐、口吐白沫，倍受折磨，無休無止。 40 我曾求過你的門徒把鬼趕出去，但他們都無能為力。」
41 耶穌回答說：「唉！這又不信又敗壞的世代啊！我要跟你們在一起容忍你們多久呢？把你的兒子帶來吧。」
42 那孩子走過來時，鬼又把他摔倒，使他抽搐，耶穌立刻斥責污鬼，把那孩子治好了，交給他父親。 43 大家看見了上帝的大能，都很驚奇。
再次預言受難
他們正為耶穌所做的一切驚訝不已時，耶穌對門徒說： 44 「你們要牢記人子所說的話，因為祂將要被交到人的手裡。」 45 但門徒不明白這句話的意思，因為還沒有向他們顯明，他們聽不懂，又不敢追問耶穌。
論地位
46 門徒開始議論他們當中誰最偉大。 47 耶穌知道他們的心思，就叫了一個小孩子來，讓他站在自己身旁， 48 然後對門徒說：「任何人為了我的緣故接待這樣一個小孩子，就是接待我；接待我，就是接待差我來的那位。你們當中最卑微的其實是最偉大的。」
49 約翰說：「老師，我們看見有人奉你的名趕鬼，就阻止他，因為他不是和我們一起跟從你的。」 50 耶穌卻對他說：「你不要阻止他，因為不反對你們的，就是支持你們的。」
不肯接待耶穌的村莊
51 耶穌被接回天家的日子快到了，祂決定前往耶路撒冷。 52 祂先派人到撒瑪利亞的一個村莊去預備食宿， 53 但撒瑪利亞人見他們是上耶路撒冷去的，不肯接待他們。 54 祂的門徒雅各和約翰見狀，說：「主啊，你要我們[b]叫天上的火降下來燒死他們嗎？」 55 耶穌轉過身來責備他們[c]。 56 接著，一行人改道去另一個村子。
跟從主的代價
57 在路上有人對耶穌說：「無論你往哪裡去，我都要跟從你。」
58 耶穌對他說：「狐狸有洞，飛鳥有窩，人子卻沒有安枕之處。」
59 耶穌又對另一個人說：「跟從我！」但是那人說：「主啊，請讓我先回去安葬我的父親。」
60 耶穌說：「讓死人去埋葬他們的死人吧，你只管去傳揚上帝國的福音。」
61 又有一個人說：「主啊！我願意跟從你，但請讓我先回去向家人告別。」
62 耶穌說：「手扶著犁向後看的人不配進上帝的國。」
差遣門徒
10 事後，主揀選了七十個門徒[d]，差遣他們兩個兩個地出去，先到祂將要去的城鎮村莊， 2 並對他們說：「要收割的莊稼很多，工人卻很少，因此你們要祈求莊稼的主人派更多的工人去收割祂的莊稼。
3 「你們去吧！我差你們出去，就像把羊羔送入狼群。 4 錢袋、背包和鞋都不要帶，在路上也不要與人寒暄。 5 無論到哪一戶人家，要先說，『願祝福臨到這家！』 6 如果那裡有配得祝福的人，祝福自然會臨到那人，否則祝福仍歸給你們。 7 不要搬來搬去，要固定住在一家，接受那家的款待，因為工人理應得到工錢。
8 「你們無論到哪一個城鎮，如果人們接待你們，就吃他們擺上的飲食。 9 要醫治那城裡的病人，告訴他們，『上帝的國臨近你們了。』 10 但如果哪一個城鎮的人不歡迎你們，你們就到街上宣告， 11 『就連你們城裡的塵土粘在我們腳上，我們都要跺掉，但是要知道，上帝的國臨近了。』 12 我告訴你們，在審判之日，那城所受的刑罰將比所多瑪所受的還重！
13 「哥拉汛啊，你大禍臨頭了！伯賽大啊，你大禍臨頭了！我在你們當中所行的神蹟，如果行在泰爾和西頓，那裡的人早就身披麻衣，頭蒙灰塵，坐在地上悔改了。 14 在審判之日，你們將比泰爾和西頓受更重的刑罰！
15 「迦百農啊，你將被提升到天上嗎？不！你將被打落到陰間。」
16 耶穌繼續對門徒說：「誰聽從你們，就是聽從我；誰拒絕你們，就是拒絕我；拒絕我的，就是拒絕差我來的那位。」
17 七十個門徒興高采烈地回來說：「主啊，我們奉你的名行事，甚至降服了鬼魔。」
18 耶穌回答說：「我看見撒旦像閃電一樣從天上墜下。 19 我已經給你們權柄，使你們能踐踏蛇和蠍子，勝過仇敵的權勢，沒有什麼能傷害你們。 20 然而，不要為了邪靈向你們降服而高興，要因你們的名字記錄在天上而高興。」
21 就在這時候，耶穌受聖靈感動，充滿喜樂地說：「父啊，天地的主，我頌讚你！因為你把這些事向聰明、有學問的人隱藏起來，卻啟示給像孩童一般的人。父啊！是的，這正是你的美意。 22 我父將一切交給了我。除了父，沒有人認識子；除了子和受子啟示的人，沒有人認識父。」
23 隨後，耶穌轉身悄悄地對門徒說：「誰看到你們今日所看到的，誰就有福了。 24 我告訴你們，以前有許多先知和君王渴望看見你們所看見的，聽見你們所聽見的，卻未能如願。」
好撒瑪利亞人的比喻
25 有一次，一名律法教師站起來試探耶穌，說：「老師，我應該怎樣做才能得永生呢？」
26 耶穌反問他：「律法怎麼說？你怎麼理解？」
27 律法教師答道：「『你要全心、全情、全力、全意愛主——你的上帝』，又要『愛鄰如己』。」 28 耶穌說：「你答得對，照著去做就有永生了。」
29 律法教師想證明自己有理，就問：「那麼，誰是我的鄰居呢？」
30 耶穌回答說：「有個人從耶路撒冷去耶利哥，途中被劫。強盜剝了他的衣服，把他打個半死，丟在那裡，然後揚長而去。
31 「剛好有位祭司經過，看見那人躺在地上，連忙從旁邊繞過，繼續趕路。 32 又有個利未人經過，也跟先前那個祭司一樣從旁邊繞過去了。
33 「後來，有位撒瑪利亞人[e]經過，看見這個人，就動了慈心， 34 連忙上前用油和酒替他敷傷口，包紮妥當，然後把他扶上自己騎的牲口，帶到附近的客店照料。 35 次日還交給店主兩個銀幣，說，『請替我好好照顧這個人。如果錢不夠的話，等我回來再補給你。』 36 那麼，你認為這三個人中誰是被劫者的鄰居呢？」
37 律法教師說：「是那個同情他的人。」
耶穌說：「你去照樣做吧。」
上好的福分
38 耶穌和門徒去耶路撒冷的途中路過一個村莊，遇到一位名叫瑪大的女子接待他們到家裡作客。 39 瑪大的妹妹瑪麗亞坐在耶穌腳前聽道， 40 瑪大為了招待客人忙亂不已，於是上前對耶穌說：
「主啊，我妹妹讓我一個人伺候大家，你都不管嗎？請你叫她來幫幫我吧。」
41 耶穌對她說：「瑪大，瑪大，你為太多事情憂慮煩惱。 42 其實最要緊的事只有一件，瑪麗亞選擇了上好的，是奪不走的。」
教導門徒禱告
11 有一天，耶穌在某地禱告完畢，有個門徒對祂說：「主啊，請教導我們禱告，像約翰教他的門徒一樣。」
2 耶穌對他們說：「你們應該這樣禱告，
『天父，願人都尊崇你的聖名，
願你的國度降臨，
願你的旨意在地上成就，
就像在天上成就一樣[f]。
3 願你天天賜給我們日用的飲食。
4 求你饒恕我們的罪，
因為我們也饒恕那些虧欠我們的人。
不要讓我們遇見誘惑，
拯救我們脫離那惡者[g]。』」
5 耶穌又對他們說：「假設你在半夜跑去朋友家請求說，『朋友，請借給我三個餅吧， 6 因為有一位朋友遠道而來，我家沒有什麼可以招待他。』 7 那個人在屋裡應聲說，『請別打攪我，門已經鎖上了，我和孩子們也已經上床了，我不能起來給你拿餅。』
8 「我告訴你們，那人雖不念朋友之情，但是倘若你不肯甘休，繼續請求，他最終會起來滿足你的願望。
9 「我告訴你們，祈求，就會給你們；尋找，就會尋見；叩門，就會給你們開門。 10 因為凡祈求的，就得到；尋找的，就尋見；叩門的，就給他開門。
11 「你們中間做父親的，如果孩子要餅，你會給他石頭嗎？[h]要魚，你會給他蛇嗎？ 12 要雞蛋，你會給他蠍子嗎？ 13 你們雖然邪惡，尚且知道把好東西給兒女，天父豈不更要賜聖靈給那些求祂的人嗎？」
耶穌和別西卜
14 有一次，耶穌趕出一個使人啞巴的鬼。鬼一出去，啞巴就能說話了，大家都很驚奇。 15 有人卻說：「祂是靠鬼王別西卜趕鬼。」 16 還有些人想試探耶穌，要求祂行個神蹟證明自己是上帝派來的。
17 耶穌知道他們的心思，就說：「一個國內部自相紛爭，必然滅亡；一個家內部自相紛爭，必然崩潰。 18 同樣，若撒旦內部自相紛爭，牠的國怎能維持呢？你們說我是靠別西卜趕鬼， 19 若我是靠別西卜趕鬼，你們的子弟又是靠誰趕鬼呢？因此，他們要審判你們。 20 但若我是靠上帝的能力趕鬼，就是上帝的國已降臨在你們中間了。
21 「壯漢全副武裝地看守自己的住宅，他的財物會很安全。 22 但是，來了一個比他更強壯的人，把他制伏後，奪去他所依靠的武裝，並把他搶來的東西分給了人。 23 誰不與我為友，就是與我為敵；誰不和我一起收聚，就是故意拆散。
24 「有個污鬼離開了牠以前所附的人，在乾旱無水之地四處遊蕩，尋找安歇之處，卻沒有找到。於是牠說，『我要回到老地方。』 25 牠回去後，看見裡面打掃得又乾淨又整齊， 26 就去帶來了七個比自己更邪惡的鬼一起住在那裡。那人的下場比從前更慘了。」
誰更有福
27 耶穌說話的時候，人群中有個婦人高喊：「生你養你的人真有福啊！」
28 耶穌回答說：「但那聽了上帝的話又去遵行的人更有福。」
可悲的邪惡世代
29 這時聚集的人越來越多，耶穌說：「這是一個邪惡的世代，人們只想看神蹟，但除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他們看。 30 正如約拿成了尼尼微人的神蹟，人子也要成為這世代的神蹟。
31 「在審判的日子，南方的女王和這世代的人都要起來[i]，她要定這個世代的罪，因為她曾不遠千里來聽所羅門王的智言慧語。看啊！這裡有一位比所羅門王更偉大。
32 「在審判的日子，尼尼微人和這世代的人都要起來，尼尼微人要定這個世代的罪，因為他們聽到約拿的宣告，就悔改了。看啊！這裡有一位比約拿更偉大。
燈的比喻
33 「沒有人點了燈卻將它放在地窖裡或斗底下，人總是把燈放在燈臺上，讓進來的人可以看見光。 34 你的眼睛就是身體的燈，你的眼睛明亮，全身就光明；你的眼睛昏花，全身就黑暗。 35 因此要小心，不要讓你心裡的光變為黑暗。 36 如果你全身光明、毫無黑暗，你整個人就熠熠生輝，好像有燈光照在你身上。」
譴責法利賽人
37 耶穌說完這番話後，有一個法利賽人來請祂吃飯，祂便應邀入席。 38 這位法利賽人看見耶穌飯前沒有行猶太人洗手的禮儀，十分詫異。 39 主對他說：「你們法利賽人洗淨杯盤的外面，你們裡面卻充滿了貪婪和邪惡。 40 愚蠢的人啊，人裡外不都是上帝所創造的嗎？ 41 只要你們發自內心地去施捨，一切對你們都是潔淨的。
42 「法利賽人啊，你們有禍了！你們將薄荷、茴香、各樣蔬菜獻上十分之一，卻忽略了上帝的公義和仁愛。後者是你們本該做的，前者也不可忽略。
43 「法利賽人啊，你們有禍了！你們喜歡在會堂裡坐首位，又喜歡在街市上聽到別人的問候。 44 你們有禍了！因為你們就像沒有墓碑的墳墓，人們從上面走過也不知道。」
譴責律法教師
45 一位律法教師對耶穌說：「老師，你這話把我們也侮辱了！」
46 耶穌回答說：「你們這些律法教師也有禍了！你們把沉重難負的擔子放在別人肩上，自己卻連一根指頭也不肯動。
47 「你們有禍了，你們為先知修造墳墓，而他們正是被你們祖先殺害的！ 48 所以你們是見證人，你們讚同祖先的行為，因為他們殺了先知，你們為先知造墳墓。 49 因此，充滿智慧的上帝說，『我要差遣先知和使徒到他們那裡，有些要被殺害，有些要遭迫害』， 50-51 使創世以來，自亞伯一直到在祭壇和聖所之間被殺的撒迦利亞等眾先知的血債，都由這個世代承擔。我實在告訴你們，這些罪責都要由這個世代承擔。
52 「律法教師啊，你們有禍了！你們拿走了知識的鑰匙，自己不進去，還阻擋那些正要進去的人。」
53 耶穌離開那裡後，法利賽人和律法教師開始激烈地反對祂，用各種問題刁難祂， 54 伺機找把柄陷害祂。
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[j]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。」
不悔改的下場
13 這時，有人把加利利人獻祭時被彼拉多屠殺的事告訴了耶穌。
2 耶穌說：「你們以為這些人被殺，是因為他們的罪比其他加利利人的罪更重嗎？ 3 不！我告訴你們，你們若不悔改，同樣也必滅亡。 4 西羅亞樓倒塌時曾壓死了十八個人。你們以為他們比耶路撒冷其他人更有罪嗎？ 5 不！我告訴你們，你們若不悔改，同樣也必滅亡。」
6 於是，耶穌說了一個比喻：「有人在葡萄園裡種了一棵無花果樹，他去樹那裡找果子，卻找不到。 7 他對園丁說，『三年來，我一直盼望它結果子，它卻一個也沒結。把它砍了，免得白佔土地。』
8 「園丁請求說，『主人，再留它一年吧！讓我在它四周鬆土、施肥， 9 明年如果結了果子就留它，否則再砍掉它。』」
治好駝背婦人
10 有個安息日，耶穌在會堂裡講道。 11 那裡有個婦人被邪靈纏身十八年，腰彎得很厲害，無法站直。 12 耶穌看見她，便叫她過來，說：「婦人，你再不會被疾病纏身了！」 13 耶穌雙手按在她身上，她的腰立刻直了，便頌讚上帝。
14 會堂主管看到耶穌在安息日為人治病，十分惱怒，就對眾人說：「一週有六天可以工作，求醫應當在這六天之內，不可在安息日！」
15 主說：「你們這些偽君子，莫非你們在安息日不解開棚裡的牛和驢，帶牠們去喝水嗎？ 16 這婦人身為亞伯拉罕的女兒，受撒旦的捆綁十八年，難道不該在安息日為她解開捆索嗎？」 17 反對祂的人聽了這番話後，都非常羞愧，眾人卻為耶穌的奇妙作為高興歡喜。
上帝國的比喻
18 耶穌繼續說：「上帝的國好像什麼呢？我該把上帝的國比作什麼呢？ 19 上帝的國就像一粒芥菜種，有人把它種在園裡，它長成了一棵樹，連飛鳥也來棲息在它的樹枝上。」
20 耶穌又說：「我該把上帝的國比作什麼呢？ 21 上帝的國就像麵酵，婦人拿來摻在三斗麵裡，使整團麵都發起來。」
努力進窄門
22 耶穌繼續前往耶路撒冷，沿途在各城鎮教導人。 23 有人問祂：「主啊，得救的人是否很少呢？」耶穌對他們說：
24 「你們要努力進窄門，因為我告訴你們，將來有許多人想要進卻進不去。 25 當主人起來把門關閉之後，你們才站在外面叩門哀求，說，『主啊，給我們開門吧！』主人必說，『我不認識你們，你們是從哪裡來的？』
26 「那時，你們必說，『我們不是在一起用過餐嗎？你不是在街上教導過我們嗎？』
27 「主人必說，『我告訴你們，我不認識你們，也不知道你們是從哪裡來的。你們這些作惡的人，走開！』
28 「當你們看見亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各和眾先知在上帝的國，自己卻被丟在門外，必要在那裡哀哭切齒。 29 那時人們會從東西南北來參加上帝國的宴席。 30 看啊，有些殿後的將要為首，有些為首的將要殿後。」
為耶路撒冷哀傷
31 那時，有幾個法利賽人來告訴耶穌，說：「快離開這裡吧，希律要殺你！」
32 耶穌說：「你們去告訴那個狐狸，『今天和明天，我要繼續趕鬼治病，到第三天，我的任務就完成了。』 33 無論如何，今天、明天和後天我必須繼續前行，因為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！你常殺害先知，又用石頭打死派到你那裡的使者。我多次想要招聚你的兒女，像母雞將小雞招聚在翅膀底下，可是你們卻不肯。 35 看啊！你們的家園將一片荒涼。我告訴你們，在你們說『奉主名來的當受稱頌』之前，你們再也見不到我了。」
論安息日治病
14 有個安息日，耶穌到一位法利賽人的首領家裡作客，人們密切地監視祂。 2 當時有一個患水腫病的人在耶穌面前， 3 耶穌問法利賽人和律法教師：「在安息日可以醫病嗎？」
4 他們都閉口不言。耶穌便扶著那人把他醫好，叫他走了， 5 然後又問他們：「如果你們有驢[k]或牛在安息日掉進井裡，難道你們不會立刻把牠拉上來嗎？」 6 他們都啞口無言。
論謙卑
7 耶穌在宴席中看見賓客們都爭著坐首位，就用比喻對他們說： 8 「參加婚宴的時候，不要坐在首位，因為或許有更尊貴的賓客來赴宴， 9 主人會把他帶到你面前，說，『請你把首位讓給他吧！』你就要滿面羞愧地退到末位去了。 10 你去赴宴時，應該先坐在末位，這樣主人會對你說，『朋友，請上坐！』那時，你在賓客面前就有光彩了。 11 因為自高的人必遭貶抑，謙卑的人必得尊榮。」
論待客之道
12 耶穌又對主人說：「擺設午宴、晚宴時，不要邀請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或有錢的鄰居，免得他們回請你，你便得到報答了。 13 相反，你設宴時，要邀請貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 這樣你就有福了，因為他們都沒有能力回報你，到了義人復活那天，上帝一定會賞賜你。」
大宴席的比喻
15 同席的一個客人聽了這番話，就對耶穌說：「能夠在上帝的國坐席的人多麼有福啊！」
16 於是，耶穌對他說：「有一個人大擺宴席，邀請了許多客人。 17 要開席的時候，主人就派奴僕去對客人說，『一切都準備好了，來赴宴吧！』 18 可是，他們都找藉口推辭。頭一個說，『我剛買了一塊田，必須去看一看，請恕我不能參加。』 19 另一個說，『我新買了五對牛，要去試一試，請恕我不能參加。』 20 還有一個說，『我剛結了婚，所以不能去。』 21 奴僕回來將這些話告訴主人，主人非常生氣，於是對奴僕說，『快出去到城裡的大街小巷把貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的都請來。』 22 奴僕說，『主人啊，我照你的吩咐辦了，可是還有空位。』 23 主人又說，『出去到大路上、籬笆旁硬把人拉來，讓我家裡座無虛席。 24 我告訴你們，原來邀請的那些人沒有一個能嚐到我的宴席！』」
做門徒的代價
25 有一大群人跟著耶穌，祂轉身對他們說： 26 「若有人要跟從我，就要愛我勝過愛他的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至自己的生命，否則就不能作我的門徒。 27 若不背起自己的十字架跟從我，就不能作我的門徒。
28 「哪有人建樓房不事先坐下來計算成本，看能否建成？ 29 否則，打好了地基卻不能完工，徒惹別人嘲笑， 30 『這個人開了工，卻不能完工！』
31 「哪有王要跟另一個王打仗時，不先坐下來酌量一下自己的一萬人是否敵得過對方的兩萬人？ 32 如果自知不敵，一定趁敵人還遠的時候，就差使者去求和。
33 「同樣，你們若不撇下一切，就不能作我的門徒。 34 鹽本來是好的，但如果鹽失去了鹹味，怎能使它再變鹹呢？ 35 沒有味的鹽，既不利於土壤，也不適宜作肥料，只好丟掉。有耳可聽的，就應當聽。」

路加福音 7-14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
治好百夫長的僕人(A)
7 耶穌向群眾講完這一切話，就進了迦百農。 2 有百夫長所重用的一個奴僕，病得快要死了。 3 百夫長聽見耶穌的事，就打發猶太人中幾個長老到他那裡，求他去醫治他的奴僕。 4 長老們就來見耶穌，懇切地求他說：“你給他行這事，是他配得的， 5 因為他愛我們的人民，給我們建造會堂。” 6 耶穌就和他們同去。離那家不遠的時候，百夫長派幾個朋友來說：“主啊，不必勞駕，因為你到舍下來，我實在不敢當， 7 我也覺得沒有資格去見你；只要你說一句話，我的僕人就必好了。 8 因為我自己是在別人的權下，也有兵在我以下；我對這個說：‘去！’他就去；對另一個說：‘來！’他就來；對我的僕人說：‘作這個！’他就作。” 9 耶穌聽見這些話，就很驚奇，轉身對跟隨的眾人說：“我告訴你們，這樣的信心，我在以色列中從來沒有見過。” 10 奉派的人回到家裡，見那奴僕已經好了。
使拿因城寡婦的兒子復活
11 後來耶穌往拿因城去，與他同去的有門徒和一大群人。 12 他走近城門的時候，有人把一個死人抬出來，是個獨生子，他母親又是個寡婦。城裡有一大群人陪著她。 13 主看見了，就憐憫她，對她說：“不要哭！” 14 於是上前按著槓子，抬的人就站住。他說：“青年人，我吩咐你起來！” 15 那死人就坐起來，開口說話，耶穌就把他交給他母親。 16 眾人都驚懼，頌讚 神說：“有偉大的先知在我們中間興起來了！”又說：“ 神眷顧他的子民了！” 17 於是這話傳遍了猶太和周圍各地。
約翰派門徒去見耶穌(B)
18 約翰的門徒把這一切事告訴約翰。他就叫了兩個門徒， 19 差他們往主那裡去，說：“你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？” 20 兩人來到耶穌跟前，說：“施洗的約翰差我們來問你：‘你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？’” 21 就在那時候，耶穌治好許多患疾病的、遭災難的、身上有污鬼附著的，並且施恩給瞎眼的，使他們看見。 22 耶穌回答他們：“你們回去，把看見和聽見的都告訴約翰，就是瞎的可以看見，跛的可以走路，患痲風的得到潔淨，聾的可以聽見，死人復活，窮人有福音聽。 23 那不被我絆倒的，就有福了。”
耶穌論約翰(C)
24 約翰差來的人走了以後，耶穌對群眾講起約翰來，說：“你們到曠野去，是要看甚麼？被風吹動的蘆葦嗎？ 25 你們出去到底要看甚麼？身穿華麗衣服的人嗎？這些衣服華麗，生活奢侈的人，是在王宮裡的。 26 那麼，你們出去要看甚麼？先知嗎？我告訴你們，是的。他比先知重要得多了。 27 聖經所記：
‘看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
他必在你前頭預備你的道路’，
這句話是指著他說的。 28 我告訴你們，婦人所生的，沒有一個比約翰更大，然而在 神的國裡最小的比他還大。” 29 眾人和稅吏受過約翰的洗禮，聽見這話，就稱 神為義。 30 但法利賽人和律法師，未受過約翰的洗禮，就拒絕 神對他們的美意。 31 耶穌又說：“我要把這世代的人比作甚麼呢？他們好像甚麼呢？ 32 他們好像小孩子坐在巿中心，彼此呼叫，說：
‘我們給你們吹笛子，你們卻不跳舞；
我們唱哀歌，你們也不啼哭。’
33 因為施洗的約翰來了，不吃飯，不喝酒，你們說他是鬼附的。 34 人子來了，又吃又喝，你們說：‘你看，這人貪食好酒，與稅吏和罪人為友。’ 35 但 神的智慧，藉著他的兒女就證實是公義的了。”
赦免犯了罪的女人（參(D)
36 有一個法利賽人，請耶穌同他吃飯，他就到法利賽人家去赴席。 37 那城裡有一個女人，是個罪人，知道他在法利賽人家裡吃飯，就拿著一瓶香膏， 38 站在耶穌背後，挨近他的腳哭，眼淚滴濕他的腳，又用自己的頭髮擦乾，不住地吻他的腳，並且抹上香膏。 39 請他的法利賽人看見了，心裡說：“這人若是先知，必定知道摸他的是誰，是怎樣的女人，因為她是個罪人！” 40 耶穌對他說：“西門，我有句話要對你說。”他說：“老師，請說。” 41 耶穌說：“一個債主有兩個債戶，一個欠五百銀幣，一個欠五十。 42 他們都無力償還，債主就把兩人豁免了。他們之中哪一個更愛他呢？” 43 西門回答：“我想是那個多得恩免的。”耶穌說：“你判斷對了。” 44 於是轉身向著那女人，對西門說：“你看見這女人嗎？我進了你的家，你沒有給我水洗腳，但這女人用眼淚濕了我的腳，用頭髮擦乾。 45 你沒有和我親吻；但這女人，自從我進來，就不住地親我的腳。 46 你沒有用油抹我的頭；但這女人用香膏抹我的腳。 47 所以我告訴你，她許多罪都蒙赦免了，因為她的愛多；那赦免少的，愛就少。” 48 耶穌就對她說：“你的罪赦免了。” 49 跟他一起吃飯的人心裡說：“這是誰，竟然赦罪呢？” 50 耶穌對那女人說：“你的信救了你，平安地去吧！”
跟從耶穌的婦女
8 不久，耶穌周遊各城各村講道，宣揚 神的國的福音，和他在一起的有十二個門徒， 2 還有幾個蒙了醫治、脫離污鬼與疾病的婦女，其中有稱為抹大拉的馬利亞，曾有七個鬼從她身上趕出來； 3 有希律的管家古撒的妻子約亞拿，又有蘇珊娜，和許多別的婦女，她們都用自己的財物供給耶穌和門徒。
撒種的比喻(E)
4 當時有許多人聚在一起，還有人從各城來到耶穌那裡，他就用比喻說： 5 “有一個撒種的出去撒種，撒的時候，有的落在路旁，被人踐踏，或給空中的小鳥吃掉。 6 有的落在石頭地上，一長出來就枯萎了，因為得不著滋潤。 7 有的落在荊棘叢中，荊棘也一齊生長，把它擠住了。 8 有的落在好土裡，就生長起來，結出百倍的果實。”他說了這些話，就大聲說：“有耳可聽的，就應當聽！”
用比喻的目的(F)
9 門徒問他這比喻是甚麼意思。 10 他說：“ 神的國的奧祕，只給你們知道，對別人就用比喻，叫他們看卻看不見，聽卻聽不明白。
解釋撒種的比喻(G)
11 “這比喻是說，種子是 神的道， 12 那落在路旁的，就是人聽了，魔鬼隨即來到，從他們心裡把道奪去，恐怕他們相信就得救了。 13 那落在石頭地上的，就是人聽了，歡歡喜喜地接受，但是沒有根，不過是暫時相信，一旦遭遇試煉，就倒退了。 14 那落在荊棘裡的，就是人聽了，走開以後，被今世的憂慮、財富和宴樂擠住了，結不出成熟的子粒來。 15 但那落在好土裡的，就是人用誠實良善的心來聽，把道持守住，忍耐著結出果實。
隱藏的事終必顯露(H)
16 “沒有人點燈用器皿蓋上，或放在床底下，而是放在燈臺上，叫進來的人都看得見光。 17 因為沒有甚麼隱藏的事不被顯明，也沒有甚麼掩蓋的事不被人知道而暴露出來。 18 所以你們應當留心怎樣聽，因為凡是有的，還要給他；凡是沒有的，連他自以為有的，也要拿去。”
誰是耶穌的母親和弟兄(I)
19 耶穌的母親和弟弟來到他那裡，因為人多，不能到他跟前。 20 有人轉告耶穌：“你母親和弟弟站在外面要見你。” 21 他回答他們：“聽了 神的道而遵行的人，才是我的母親，我的弟兄。”
平靜風浪(J)
22 有一天，耶穌和門徒上了船，他對他們說：“我們渡到海那邊去吧。”他們就開了船。 23 船行的時候，他睡著了。海上忽然起了狂風，他們全身濕透，非常危險。 24 門徒來叫醒耶穌，說：“主啊！主啊！我們沒命了！”他醒過來，斥責風浪，風浪就止息、平靜了。 25 耶穌對他們說：“你們的信心在哪裡？”他們又懼怕、又希奇，彼此說：“這到底是誰？他吩咐風浪，連風浪也聽從他。”
治好鬼附的格拉森人(K)
26 船到了格拉森人的地區，正在加利利對面， 27 耶穌一上岸，就有城裡一個被鬼附著的人，迎面而來。這人已經很久不穿衣服，不住在家裡，只住在墳墓裡。 28 他一見耶穌，就俯伏喊叫，大聲說：“至高 神的兒子耶穌，我跟你有甚麼關係呢？求你不要使我受苦。” 29 因為耶穌已經吩咐這污靈從那人身上出來。原來這污靈屢次抓住那人；那人被鐵鍊和腳鍊捆鎖，而且有人看管，他竟掙斷鎖鍊，被鬼趕入曠野。 30 耶穌問他：“你叫甚麼名字？”他說：“群。”因為進到那人裡面的鬼很多。 31 他們求耶穌，不要趕他們進入無底坑。
32 那裡有一大群豬正在山上吃東西。他們求耶穌准他們進入豬群。耶穌准許了， 33 鬼就從那人身上出來，進入豬群，豬群闖下山崖，掉在海裡淹死了。 34 放豬的看見所發生的事就逃跑，到城裡和各鄉村把這事傳開。 35 眾人就出來看發生了甚麼事。來到耶穌那裡，看見鬼已經離開的那人，穿著衣服，神志清醒，坐在耶穌腳前，他們就害怕。 36 當時看見的人，把被鬼附過的人怎樣得到醫治，說給他們聽。 37 格拉森一帶的人，都要求耶穌離開他們，因為他們大大懼怕。他就上船回去了。 38 鬼已經離開的那人求耶穌，要跟他在一起；但耶穌打發他回去，說： 39 “你回家去，述說 神為你作了怎樣的事。”他就走遍全城，傳講耶穌為他作了怎樣的事。
治好血漏病的女人(L)
40 耶穌回來的時候，眾人歡迎他，因為大家都在等著他。 41 那時，有一個人來了，名叫葉魯，他是一位會堂主管。他俯伏在耶穌腳前，求他往他家裡去， 42 因為他的獨生女，約十二歲，快要死了。耶穌去的時候，群眾擁擠著他。
43 有一個女人，患了十二年的血漏病，在醫生手裡花盡了全部養生的（有些抄本無“在醫生手裡花盡了全部養生的”一句），沒有一個能醫好她。 44 她從後面擠來，一摸耶穌的衣裳繸子，血就立刻止住。 45 耶穌說：“摸我的是誰？”眾人都不承認。彼得說：“主啊，眾人都擁擠著你。” 46 耶穌說：“必定有人摸我，因為我覺得有能力從我身上出去。” 47 那女人見不能隱瞞，就戰戰兢兢地過來，向他俯伏，把摸他的緣故，和怎樣立刻得到醫治，在眾人面前說出來。 48 耶穌對她說：“女兒，你的信使你痊愈了，平安地去吧！”
使女孩復活(M)
49 耶穌還在說話的時候，有人從會堂主管家裡來，說：“你的女兒死了，不必再勞動老師了。” 50 耶穌聽見就對他說：“不要怕，只要信，她必得痊愈。” 51 到了那家，除了彼得、約翰、雅各和女孩的父母以外，他不准任何人同他進屋裡去。 52 眾人都在為女孩痛哭哀號，他說：“不要哭！她不是死了，而是睡著了。” 53 他們明知女孩已經死了，就嘲笑他。 54 他進去拉著女孩的手，叫她說：“孩子，起來！” 55 她的靈魂回來了，她就立刻起來。耶穌吩咐給她東西吃。 56 她父母非常驚奇。耶穌囑咐他們不要把他所作的事告訴人。
差遣十二使徒(N)
9 耶穌召齊十二門徒，給他們能力、權柄，制伏一切鬼魔，醫治各樣的疾病， 2 差遣他們去宣講 神的國和醫治病人， 3 對他們說：“不要帶著甚麼上路，不要帶手杖，不要帶口袋，不要帶食物，不要帶銀錢，也不要帶兩件衣服。 4 無論進哪一家，就住在那裡，直到離開。 5 凡不接待你們的，你們離開那城的時候，當把腳上的灰塵跺下去，作為反對他們的表示。” 6 於是他們就出去，走遍各鄉，傳講福音，到處醫治病人。
希律的困惑(O)
7 分封王希律聽見所發生的一切事，猶豫不定，因為有人說：“約翰從死人中復活了。” 8 又有人說：“以利亞顯現了。”還有人說：“古時的一位先知復活了。” 9 希律說：“約翰已經斬頭了，但這是誰，我怎麼會聽到他這些事呢？”就設法要見他。
給五千人吃飽的神蹟(P)
10 使徒們回來，把所作的事報告耶穌。他帶著他們，悄悄地退往伯賽大城去。 11 群眾知道了，也跟了去。他接待他們，向他們講論 神的國，醫好需要醫治的人。 12 天將晚的時候，十二門徒來到他跟前，說：“請解散眾人，好讓他們往周圍的田舍村莊，去找地方住，找東西吃，因為我們這裡是曠野。” 13 他說：“你們給他們吃吧！”他們說：“我們所有的，不過是五個餅兩條魚，除非去為這些人另買食物。” 14 原來男人就約有五千。他對門徒說：“叫他們一組一組地坐下，每組約五十人。” 15 門徒就照他的話，叫眾人坐下。 16 耶穌拿起這五個餅，兩條魚，望著天，祝謝了，擘開遞給門徒，擺在眾人面前。 17 他們都吃飽了，把剩下的零碎拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。
彼得承認耶穌是基督(Q)
18 有一次耶穌獨自祈禱的時候，只有門徒和他在一起。他問他們：“人說我是誰？” 19 他們回答：“有人說是施洗的約翰，有人說是以利亞，還有人說是古時的一位先知復活了。” 20 他又問他們：“你們說我是誰？”彼得回答：“是 神的基督！”
耶穌預言受難及復活(R)
21 耶穌警告他們，囑咐他們，不要把這事告訴人。 22 又說：“人子必須受許多苦，被長老、祭司長，和經學家棄絕、殺害，第三日復活。”
23 耶穌又對眾人說：“如果有人願意跟從我，就當捨己，天天背起他的十字架來跟從我。 24 凡是想救自己生命的，必喪掉生命；但為我犧牲自己生命的，必救了生命。 25 人若賺得全世界，卻喪失自己，或賠上自己，有甚麼好處呢？ 26 凡是把我和我的道當作可恥的，人子在自己與父並聖天使的榮耀裡降臨的時候，也必把他當作可恥的。 27 我實在告訴你們，站在這裡的，有人在沒有嘗過死味以前必定要看見 神的國。”
在山上改變形象(S)
28 說了這些話以後約有八天，耶穌帶著彼得、約翰和雅各，上山去禱告。 29 正禱告的時候，他的面貌就改變了，衣服潔白發光。 30 忽然有兩個人和他談話，就是摩西和以利亞。 31 他們在榮光裡顯現，談論他去世的事，就是他在耶路撒冷將要完成的。 32 彼得和同伴都在打盹。醒過來之後，就看見他的榮光，並與他站在一起的那兩個人。 33 二人正要離開他的時候，彼得對耶穌說：“主啊，我們在這裡真好！我們可以搭三個帳棚，一個為你，一個為摩西，一個為以利亞。”他根本不知道自己在說甚麼。 34 他說這話的時候，有一片雲彩籠罩他們，他們入了雲彩，門徒就害怕起來。 35 有聲音從雲彩裡出來，說：“這是我的兒子，我所揀選的（“這是我的兒子，我所揀選的”有些抄本作“這是我的愛子”），你們要聽從他！” 36 聲音過了，只見耶穌獨自在那裡。在那些日子，門徒保持緘默，不把所看見的告訴任何人。
治好癲癇病的小孩(T)
37 第二天，他們下了山，有一大群人迎面而來。 38 在人群中有一個人喊叫說：“老師，求你憐憫我的兒子，因為他是我的獨生子。 39 你看，污靈一抓住他，他就忽然喊叫，並且抽瘋，口吐白沫；污靈又折磨糟踐他，不肯放過他。 40 我求過你的門徒，把他趕出去，他們卻辦不到。” 41 耶穌說：“唉！這不信又乖謬的世代啊！我跟你們在一起，忍受你們，要到幾時呢？把你兒子帶到這裡來吧！” 42 那孩子正走過來的時候，污鬼把他摔倒，使他重重地抽瘋。耶穌斥責那污靈，把孩子醫好，交給他父親。 43 眾人都驚奇 神的大能。
第二次預言受難及復活(U)
眾人還在希奇耶穌所作的這一切時，他對門徒說： 44 “你們要把這些話存在心裡：人子將要被交在人的手裡。” 45 門徒不明白這話，因為這話的意思是隱藏的，不讓他們明白，他們也不敢問。
門徒爭論誰最大(V)
46 後來，門徒起了意見，爭論誰是最大的。 47 耶穌看出他們的心意，就領了一個小孩子來，叫他站在自己旁邊， 48 對他們說：“凡因我的名接待這小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，就是接待那差我來的。誰是你們中間最小的，那人就是最大的。” 49 約翰說：“主，我們看見有一個人奉你的名趕鬼，就禁止他，因為他不和我們一起跟從你。” 50 耶穌說：“不要禁止他，因為不反對你們的，就是贊成你們的。”
撒瑪利亞人不接待主
51 耶穌被接上升的日子快到了，他就決意向耶路撒冷去， 52 並且差遣使者走在前頭；他們去了，進入撒瑪利亞的一個村莊，要為他預備。 53 那裡的人不接待他，因為他面向著耶路撒冷走。 54 他的門徒雅各、約翰看見了，就說：“主啊，你要我們吩咐火從天降下來，燒滅他們嗎？” 55 耶穌就轉過身來，責備他們， 56 然後他們就往別的村莊去了。
要求跟從耶穌(W)
57 他們走路的時候，有一個人對他說：“你無論往哪裡去，我都要跟從你！” 58 耶穌說：“狐狸有洞，天空的飛鳥有窩，人子卻沒有棲身的地方。” 59 他對另一個人說：“你跟從我吧！”那人說：“主啊，請准我先回去安葬我的父親吧。” 60 耶穌說：“讓死人去埋葬他們的死人，你應該去傳揚 神的國。” 61 又有一個人說：“主，我要跟從你，但容我先回去，向家人道別。” 62 耶穌說：“手扶著犁向後看的，不適合進 神的國。”
差遣七十二人
10 這些事以後，主又另外指派了七十二個人（“七十二個人”有些抄本作“七十個人”），差遣他們兩個兩個地，在他前面，到他自己將要到的各城各地去。 2 耶穌對他們說：“莊稼多，工人少，所以你們應當求莊稼的主，派工人出去收他的莊稼。 3 你們去吧！我差你們去，如同羊羔進入狼群。 4 不要帶錢囊，不要帶口袋，不要帶鞋，不要在路上問候人。 5 無論進哪一家，先說：‘願平安歸與這家！’ 6 那裡若有配得平安的人（“配得平安的人”原文作“平安之子”），你們的平安就必臨到他，不然，就歸給你們。 7 你們要住在那家，吃喝他們所供給的，因為作工的理當得工資；不必從這家搬到那家。 8 無論進哪一城，人若接待你們，擺上甚麼，就吃甚麼。 9 要醫治城中的病人，對他們宣講：‘ 神的國臨近你們了。’ 10 無論進哪一城，人若不接待你們，你們就出來到街上，說： 11 ‘連你們城裡那黏在我們腳上的塵土，我們也要當著你們擦去。雖然這樣，你們應該知道： 神的國臨近了！’ 12 我告訴你們，當那日，所多瑪所受的，比那城所受的還輕呢。
責備不肯悔改的城(X)
13 “哥拉遜啊，你有禍了！伯賽大啊，你有禍了！因為在你們那裡行過的神蹟，如果行在推羅和西頓，他們早已披麻蒙灰，坐在地上悔改了。 14 在審判的時候，推羅和西頓所受的，比你們所受的還輕呢。 15 還有你，迦百農啊！
你會被高舉到天上嗎？
你必降到陰間。
16 聽從你們的，就是聽從我；棄絕你們的，就是棄絕我；棄絕我的，就是棄絕那差我來的。”
七十二人回來
17 那七十二個人歡歡喜喜地回來，說：“主啊，因你的名，連鬼也服了我們。” 18 耶穌說：“我看見撒但，像閃電一樣從天墜落。 19 我已經給你們權柄，去踐踏蛇和蠍子，勝過仇敵的一切能力。絕對沒有甚麼能傷害你們了。 20 然而不要因為鬼服了你們就歡喜，卻要因為你們的名字記錄在天上而歡喜。”
耶穌歡樂讚美天父(Y)
21 就在這時候，耶穌因聖靈而歡樂，說：“父啊，天地的主，我讚美你，因為你把這些事向智慧和聰明的人隱藏起來，卻向嬰孩顯明。父啊，是的，這就是你的美意。 22 我父已經把一切交給我；除了父沒有人知道子是誰，除了子和子所願意啟示的人，也沒有人知道父是誰。” 23 耶穌轉過身來，悄悄地對門徒說：“看見你們所看見的，那眼睛有福了！ 24 我告訴你們，曾經有許多先知和君王，想看你們所看見的，卻沒有看到；想聽你們所聽見的，卻沒有聽到。”
好撒瑪利亞人的比喻(Z)
25 有一個律法師起來試探耶穌，說：“老師，我應該作甚麼，才可以承受永生呢？” 26 耶穌對他說：“律法上寫的是甚麼？你怎麼念的呢？” 27 他回答：“你要全心、全性、全力、全意愛主你的 神，並且要愛鄰舍如同自己。” 28 耶穌說：“你答得對，你這樣行，就必得生命。” 29 那人想證明自己有理，就對耶穌說：“誰是我的鄰舍呢？” 30 耶穌回答：“有一個人從耶路撒冷下耶利哥去，落在強盜手中。他們剝去他的衣服，把他打得半死，撇下他一個人就走了。 31 正好有一個祭司，從那條路下來，看見他，就從旁邊走過去了。 32 又有一個利未人，來到那裡，看見他，也照樣從旁邊走過去了。 33 只有一個撒瑪利亞人，旅行來到他那裡，看見了，就動了憐憫的心， 34 上前用油和酒倒在他的傷處，包裹好了，把他扶上自己的牲口，帶他到客店裡照顧他。 35 第二天，他拿出兩個銀幣交給店主，說：‘請你照顧他，額外的開支，我回來的時候必還給你。’ 36 你想，這三個人，誰是那個落在強盜手中的人的鄰舍呢？” 37 他說：“是那憐憫他的。”耶穌說：“你去，照樣作吧。”
馬大和馬利亞
38 他們走路的時候，耶穌進了一個村莊。有一個名叫馬大的女人，接他到家裡。 39 她有一個妹妹，名叫馬利亞，坐在主的腳前聽道。 40 馬大被許多要作的事，弄得心煩意亂，就上前來，說：“主啊，我妹妹讓我一個人侍候，你不理嗎？請吩咐她來幫助我。” 41 主回答她：“馬大，馬大，你為許多事操心忙碌， 42 但是最需要的只有一件，馬利亞已經選擇了那上好的分，是不能從她奪去的。”
祈求就必得著(AA)
11 有一天，耶穌在一個地方祈禱，祈禱完了，有一個門徒對他說：“主啊，求你教導我們禱告，像約翰教導他的門徒一樣。” 2 耶穌說：“你們禱告的時候，要說：
‘父啊，願你的名被尊為聖，
願你的國降臨（有些抄本在此有“願你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上”一句）；
3 我們需用的食物，
求你每天賜給我們；
4 赦免我們的罪，
因為我們也饒恕所有虧負我們的人；
不要讓我們陷入試探（有些抄本在此有“救我們脫離那惡者”一句）。’”
5 耶穌又對他們說：“你們當中，誰有朋友半夜去找他，說：‘請你借給我三個餅， 6 因為我有一個朋友旅行來到我這裡，我沒有甚麼可以招待他。’ 7 而他卻在裡面回答：‘不要麻煩我，門已經關好了，孩子也跟我在床上了，我不能起來拿給你。’ 8 我告訴你們，即使不因為他是朋友而起來給他，也會因為他厚顏地直求，而起來照他所需要的給他。 9 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 因為所有祈求的就得著，尋找的就尋見，叩門的就給他開門。 11 你們中間作父親的，哪有兒子求魚，反拿蛇當作魚給他呢？ 12 或求雞蛋，反給他蠍子呢？ 13 你們雖然不好，尚且知道把好東西給自己的兒女，何況天父，豈不更把聖靈賜給求他的人嗎？”
耶穌靠 神的能力趕鬼(AB)
14 耶穌趕出一個啞巴鬼，鬼既出去，啞巴就說起話來，眾人都希奇。 15 有人說：“他靠鬼王別西卜趕鬼。” 16 又有人試探他，向他求一個從天上來的神蹟。 17 耶穌知道他們的心意，就對他們說：“如果一個國家自相紛爭，就必定荒涼；如果一個家庭自相為敵，就必然敗落。 18 如果撒但自相紛爭，他的國怎能站立得住呢？你們說我靠別西卜趕鬼， 19 我若靠別西卜趕鬼，你們的子孫趕鬼又靠誰呢？因此，他們必要作你們的審判官。 20 我若靠 神的能力趕鬼，這就是 神的國臨到你們了。 21 一個壯漢拿著武器，看守自己的家園，他的家財就平安無事。 22 但是一個比他更強的人來了，勝過了他，奪去他所倚靠的武器，就把他的家財當作掠物分了。 23 不站在我這一邊的就是反對我的；不跟從一起收聚的就是分散的。
污靈去而復返的教訓(AC)
24 “一個污靈離開了一個人，走遍乾旱之地，尋找棲身的地方，卻沒有找到，就說：‘我要回到我從前離開了的那房子。’ 25 到了之後，看見裡面已經打掃乾淨，粉飾好了， 26 他就去帶了另外七個比自己更惡的污靈來，進去住在那裡；那人後來的情況，比以前更壞了。”
約拿的神蹟(AD)
27 耶穌正說這些話的時候，群眾中有一個女人高聲對他說：“懷你胎的和哺養你的有福了！” 28 他說：“是的，卻還不如聽 神的道而遵守的人有福。” 29 眾人聚集的時候，耶穌就說：“這世代是個邪惡的世代。這世代尋求神蹟，可是除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他們了。 30 約拿怎樣成了尼尼微人的神蹟，人子也照樣成為這個世代的神蹟。 31 審判的時候，南方的女王要和這世代的人一同起來，她要定他們的罪，因為她從地極來到，要聽所羅門智慧的話。你看，這裡有一位是比所羅門更大的。 32 審判的時候，尼尼微人要和這世代的人一同起來，他們要定這個世代的罪，因為尼尼微人聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。你看，這裡有一位是比約拿更大的。
裡面的光(AE)
33 “沒有人點了燈，把它放在地窖裡，或量器底下，卻放在燈臺上，叫進來的人看得見光。 34 你的眼睛就是你身體的燈，你的眼睛健全，全身就明亮；如果不健全，全身就黑暗。 35 所以要謹慎，免得你裡面的光黑暗了。 36 你若全身明亮，沒有一點黑暗，你就完全明亮，好像明亮的燈光照你一樣。”
法利賽人和律法師有禍了(AF)
37 耶穌說話的時候，有一個法利賽人請耶穌和他一起吃飯；他就進去坐席。 38 這個法利賽人見耶穌吃飯之前不洗手，覺得奇怪。 39 主對他說：“你們法利賽人把杯盤的外面洗淨，但你們裡面卻充滿了搶奪和邪惡。 40 無知的人哪，那造外面的，不也造裡面嗎？ 41 只要把裡面的施捨出去，你們的一切就都潔淨了。 42 然而你們法利賽人有禍了！因為你們把薄荷、茴香和各樣菜蔬獻上十分之一，卻把公義和愛 神的事疏忽了；這些是你們應當作的，但其他的也不可疏忽。 43 你們法利賽人有禍了！因為你們喜愛會堂裡的高位和人在巿中心的問安。 44 你們有禍了！因為你們好像不顯露的墳墓，走在上面的人並不知道。”
45 律法師中有一個回答他：“老師，你這樣說，把我們也侮辱了！” 46 耶穌說：“你們律法師也有禍了，因為你們把難擔的擔子叫人擔，自己連一個指頭也不動。 47 你們有禍了！因為你們修造先知的墳墓，而那些先知正是你們祖先所殺的， 48 這樣，你們就成了證人，對你們祖先的作為表示同意；他們殺害先知，你們修造先知的墳墓。 49 所以， 神的智慧說：‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他們那裡去，有的他們要殺害，有的他們要迫害， 50-51 為要使創世以來眾先知所流的血，從亞伯的血起，直到在祭壇和聖所之間受害的撒迦利亞的血為止，都向這一代追討。’是的，我告訴你們，都要向這一代追討。 52 你們律法師有禍了！因為你們拿去知識的鑰匙，自己不進去，又阻止要進去的人。” 53 耶穌從那裡出來，經學家和法利賽人非常敵視他，質問他很多問題， 54 等機會從他的口中找把柄。
提防法利賽人的酵(AG)
12 那時有成千上萬的人聚在一起，甚至彼此踐踏。耶穌就先對門徒說：“你們要提防法利賽人的酵，就是虛偽。 2 沒有甚麼掩蓋的事不被揭露，也沒有甚麼隱藏的事不被人知道。 3 所以，你們在暗處所說的，必在明處被人聽見；在內室附耳所談的，必在房頂上宣揚出來。
應該怕誰(AH)
4 “我的朋友，我告訴你們，那殺身體以後不能再作甚麼的，不要怕他們。 5 我要指示你們當怕的是誰：當怕那殺身體以後，有權把人投入地獄裡的；我告訴你們，應當怕他。 6 五隻麻雀，不是賣兩個大錢嗎？但在 神面前，一隻也不被忘記。 7 甚至你們的頭髮都一一數過了。不要怕，你們比許多麻雀貴重得多呢。
要在人面前承認主(AI)
8 “我告訴你們，凡在人面前承認我的，人子在 神的使者面前也承認他； 9 在人面前不認我的，我在 神的使者面前也不認他。 10 凡說話得罪人子的，還可以赦免；但褻瀆聖靈的，必不得赦免。 11 人把你們拉到會堂、官長和當權者的面前，你們不要思慮怎樣申辯或說甚麼話。 12 到了時候，聖靈必把當說的話教導你們。”
無知富翁的比喻
13 群眾中有一個人對耶穌說：“老師，請吩咐我的兄弟和我分家業。” 14 耶穌說：“你這個人，誰立我作你們的審判官和分家業的人呢？” 15 於是他對眾人說：“你們要謹慎，遠離一切貪心，因為人的生命並不在於家道豐富。” 16 就對他們講了一個比喻，說：“有一個富翁的田地豐收。 17 他自己心裡說：‘怎麼辦呢？因為我沒有足夠的地方收藏出產了！’ 18 又說：‘我要這樣辦：我要拆掉這些倉房，建造更大的，好在那裡收藏我的一切糧食和貨物。 19 然後，我要對我的靈魂說：靈魂啊，你擁有許多好東西，足夠多年享用，只管安安逸逸地吃喝快樂吧！’ 20 神卻對他說：‘無知的人哪，今天晚上，你的靈魂必被取去，你所預備的要歸給誰呢？’ 21 凡為自己積財，在 神面前卻不富足的，也是這樣。”
不要憂慮，積財於天(AJ)
22 耶穌又對門徒說：“所以我告訴你們，不要為生命憂慮吃甚麼，也不要為身體憂慮穿甚麼。 23 因為生命比飲食重要，身體比衣服重要。 24 你們想想烏鴉：牠們不種也不收，無倉又無庫， 神尚且養活牠們；你們比飛鳥貴重得多了。 25 你們中間誰能用憂慮使自己的壽命延長一刻呢？ 26 既然連這極小的事都不能作，為甚麼還憂慮其他的事呢？ 27 你們想想百合花，怎樣不勞苦，也不紡織。但我告訴你們，就是所羅門最榮華的時候所穿的，也比不上這花中的一朵呢。 28 小信的人哪，田野的草，今天還在，明天就投進爐裡， 神尚且這樣給它裝飾，何況你們呢？ 29 你們不要求吃甚麼，喝甚麼，也不要憂慮， 30 因為這一切都是世上不信的人所尋求的。你們的父原知道你們需要這一切。 31 你們只管求他的國，這些東西都必加給你們。 32 你們這小群，不要怕，因為你們的父樂意把國賜給你們。 33 當變賣你們所有的施捨給人，為自己製造不朽壞的錢囊，積蓄用不盡的財寶在天上，就是賊不能近、蟲不能蛀的地方。 34 因為你們的財寶在哪裡，你們的心也在哪裡。
忠心的僕人有福了(AK)
35 “你們的腰當束起來，燈也該點著， 36 像等候自己的主人從婚筵回來一樣，好叫你們在主人回來敲門時，立刻給他開門。 37 主人來到了，看見僕人警醒，這些僕人就有福了。我實在告訴你們，主人必親自束腰，招待他們吃飯，進前來侍候他們。 38 主人也許半夜之前，或天亮之前回來，看見他們這樣，這些僕人就有福了。 39 你們都知道，家主若曉得竊賊甚麼時候來，就不會讓他摸進屋裡。 40 你們也要準備妥當，因為在想不到的時候，人子就來了。”
41 彼得說：“主啊，你說這比喻，是為我們還是為眾人呢？” 42 主說：“誰是那忠心精明的管家，被主人指派管理家裡的僕人，按時分糧呢？ 43 主人來到的時候，看見他這樣作，那僕人就有福了。 44 我實在告訴你們，主人要指派他管理主人的一切財產。 45 如果那僕人心裡說：‘我的主人不會那麼快回來’，就動手打其他的僕人使女，並且吃喝醉酒； 46 在他想不到的日子、不知道的時間，那僕人的主人要來，嚴厲地處罰他，使他和不信的人同在一起。 47 那僕人知道主人的意思，卻不預備，也不照他的意思行，必多受責打； 48 但那不知道的，雖然作了該受責打的事，也必少受責打。多給誰就向誰多取，多託誰就向誰多要。
將引起紛爭(AL)
49 “我來要把火投在地上，如果燒了起來，那是我所願意的。 50 我有應當受的洗，我是多麼迫切地期待這事完成。 51 你們以為我來是要地上有和平嗎？不是的，我告訴你們，是要有紛爭。 52 從今以後，一家五口將起紛爭，三個反對兩個，兩個反對三個。 53 他們將起紛爭：
父親反對兒子，
兒子反對父親，
母親反對女兒，
女兒反對母親，
婆婆反對媳婦，
媳婦反對婆婆。”
當曉得分辨和判斷(AM)
54 耶穌又對眾人說：“你們一看見西邊有雲彩升起來，就說：‘要下大雨’，果然這樣； 55 起了南風，就說：‘天要熱了’，也果然這樣。 56 偽君子啊！你們知道分辨天地的氣象，怎麼不知道分辨這個時代呢？
57 “你們為甚麼自己不能判斷甚麼是對的呢？ 58 你和你的對頭去見官長，還在路上的時候，應當盡力向他求和，免得他把你拉到法官面前，法官把你交給差役，差役把你關在監裡。 59 我告訴你，除非你還清最後的一個小錢，否則決不能從那裡出來。”
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(AN)
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(AO)
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(AP)
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。’”
治好水臌病的人
14 在安息日，耶穌進了一個法利賽人領袖的家裡吃飯，眾人都在窺探他。 2 正好在他面前有一個患水臌病的人； 3 耶穌對律法師和法利賽人說：“在安息日治病，可以不可以呢？” 4 他們卻不出聲。耶穌扶著病人，治好他，叫他走了， 5 就對他們說：“你們中間誰的兒子或牛在安息日掉在井裡，不立刻把他拉上來呢？” 6 他們不能回答這些話。
耶穌教訓筵席的主人（參(AQ)
7 耶穌看見被邀請的客人選擇高位，就用比喻對他們說： 8 “你被邀請參加婚筵的時候，不要自己坐在高位上，恐怕有比你更尊貴的客人也被請來； 9 那請你又請他的人過來對你說：‘請你讓位給這個人。’那時你就慚愧地退居末位了。 10 你被邀請的時候，要坐在末位上，等請你的人過來對你說：‘朋友，請上座。’那時你在同席的人面前才有光彩。 11 因為凡高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己謙卑的，必要升高。” 12 耶穌又對邀請他的人說：“你設午餐或晚宴，不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或富裕的鄰舍，恐怕他們又回請你，你就得了報答。 13 你擺筵席的時候，總要邀請那貧窮的、殘廢的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 那你就有福了。因為他們沒有甚麼可以報答你，義人復活的時候，你必定得著報答。”
婚筵的比喻（參(AR)
15 一起吃飯的人中有一個，聽了這些話，就對耶穌說：“在 神的國裡吃飯的人有福了。” 16 耶穌對他說：“有一個人大擺筵席，請了許多客人。 17 到了開席的時候，他打發僕人去對所請的人說：‘請來吧！樣樣都準備好了。’ 18 眾人一致推辭，頭一個說：‘我買了一塊地，不得不去看一看，請原諒我。’ 19 另一個說：‘我買了五對牛，要去試一試，請原諒我。’ 20 又一個說：‘我剛結了婚，不能去。’ 21 僕人回來把這些事告訴他主人，家主就發怒，對僕人說：‘快到城裡大街小巷去，把貧窮的、殘廢的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都領到這裡來。’ 22 僕人說：‘主啊，你所吩咐的已經辦了，還有空位。’ 23 主人就對僕人說：‘你出去到路邊籬畔，勉強人進來，好把我的屋子坐滿。 24 我告訴你們，先前請的那些人，一個也不得嘗我的筵席。’”
作門徒的代價（參(AS)
25 有許多人與耶穌同行，他轉身對他們說： 26 “如果有人到我這裡來，愛我不超過愛（“愛我不超過愛”原文作“不恨”）自己的父母、妻子、兒女、兄弟、姊妹，甚至自己的性命，就不能作我的門徒。 27 凡不背著自己的十字架跟隨我的，也不能作我的門徒。 28 你們當中有誰要蓋一座樓，不先坐下計算費用，能不能蓋成呢？ 29 恐怕安了地基，而不能完成，所有看見的人都譏笑他， 30 說：‘這個人開了工，卻不能完工。’ 31 或者一個王去和別的王打仗，哪有不先坐下想想，能否用一萬兵去抵抗那領兩萬來攻打他的呢？ 32 如果不能，就該趁對方還遠的時候，派使者去談判和平的條件。 33 這樣，你們中間不論誰，如果不撇下一切所有的，就不能作我的門徒。
34 “鹽本來是好的，但如果失了味，怎能使它再鹹呢？ 35 或用在田裡，或放在糞裡，都不合適；只好扔在外面。有耳可聽的，就應當聽。”
Luke 7-10
New International Version
Luke 7-10
New International Version
The Faith of the Centurion(A)
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this(B) to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(D)
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(E) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(F) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 They were all filled with awe(G) and praised God.(H) “A great prophet(I) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(J) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(K)
Jesus and John the Baptist(L)
18 John’s(M) disciples(N) told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(O) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(P) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?(Q) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God(S) is greater than he.”
29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.(T) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(U) rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine,(V) and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(W) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(X)(Y)
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,(Z) he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet,(AA) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(AB) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(AC) but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AD)
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;(AE) go in peace.”(AF)
The Parable of the Sower(AG)
8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(AH) The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(AI) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(AJ) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(AK)
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(AL) but to others I speak in parables, so that,
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(AN) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(AO) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(AP) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(AQ) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(AR) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(AS)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(AT)
19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(AU) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(AV)
Jesus Calms the Storm(AW)(AX)
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(AY) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(AZ) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(BA) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(BB)(BC)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[e] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(BD) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(BE) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(BF)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(BG) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(BH) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(BI) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(BJ) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(BK)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(BL) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(BM) for twelve years,[f] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(BN) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(BO) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(BP) I know that power has gone out from me.”(BQ)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(BR) Go in peace.”(BS)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(BT) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(BU) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(BV) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(BW)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(BX) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(BY)
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(BZ)(CA)
9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(CB) and to cure diseases,(CC) 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(CD) and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(CE) 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(CF) 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Now Herod(CG) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(CH) had been raised from the dead,(CI) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(CJ) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(CK) 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(CL)
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(CM)(CN)
10 When the apostles(CO) returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,(CP) 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God,(CQ) and healed those who needed healing.
12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.(CR) Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(CS)(CT)
18 Once when Jesus was praying(CU) in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(CV) others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”(CW)
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”(CX)
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(CY) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(CZ) must suffer many things(DA) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(DB) and he must be killed(DC) and on the third day(DD) be raised to life.”(DE)
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(DF) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(DG) 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them(DH) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(DI)
27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration(DJ)
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James(DK) with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.(DL) 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[g](DM) which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy,(DN) but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master,(DO) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen;(DP) listen to him.”(DQ) 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.(DR)
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(DS)
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”
41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,”(DT) Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”(DU) 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it,(DV) and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.(DW) 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts,(DX) took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(DY) For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”(DZ)
49 “Master,”(EA) said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”(EB)
Samaritan Opposition
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(EC) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(ED) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(EE) village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John(EF) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[h]?”(EG) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus(EH)
57 As they were walking along the road,(EI) a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(EJ) has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”(EK)
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”(EL)
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(EM)
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two(EN)(EO)(EP)
10 After this the Lord(EQ) appointed seventy-two[i] others(ER) and sent them two by two(ES) ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.(ET) 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.(EU) 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.(EV) 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.(EW) Do not move around from house to house.
8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.(EX) 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God(EY) has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you.(EZ) Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’(FA) 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom(FB) than for that town.(FC)

King James Version
7 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
8 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
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.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 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.
5 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;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 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.
8 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 needeth.
9 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 asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh 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 them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
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 a house divided against a house falleth.
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, 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 devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to 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 spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 For as Jonas 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 with 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 Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, 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 that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
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 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 judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade 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 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 which 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 away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them 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.
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.
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.
14 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

百夫長的信心
7 耶穌向眾人講完道後，進了迦百農。 2 當時，有一個百夫長很賞識的奴僕病了，生命垂危。 3 百夫長聽說耶穌的事，就託幾位猶太人的長老去請耶穌來醫治他的奴僕。 4 他們便來懇求耶穌，說：「這位百夫長值得你幫助， 5 因為他愛我們的同胞，為我們建造會堂。」 6 耶穌就跟他們去了。
快抵達時，那百夫長又請幾位朋友去見耶穌，對祂說：「主啊，不用勞駕，我不配讓你親自來我家。 7 我自認不配見你的面，只要你一句話，我的奴僕必定康復。 8 因為我有上司，也有部下。我命令我的部下去，他就去；要他來，他就來。我吩咐奴僕做什麼事，他一定照辦。」
9 耶穌聽了這番話，感到驚奇，轉身對跟從祂的百姓說：「我告訴你們，就是在以色列，我也從未見過有這麼大信心的人。」
10 派去的幾位朋友回到百夫長家裡，發現那奴僕已經痊癒了。
寡婦獨子的起死回生
11 過了不久[a]，耶穌去拿因城，隨行的有門徒和一大群人。 12 耶穌快到城門口時，從城裡走出一隊送殯的人，死者是一個寡婦的獨子，有許多城中的人陪著她。 13 耶穌看見那寡婦，憐憫之心油然而生，就對她說：「不要哭！」 14 隨即上前按住抬屍架，抬的人停了下來。耶穌說：「年輕人，我吩咐你起來！」 15 那死者就坐了起來，並開口說話。耶穌把他交給他母親。
16 在場的人驚懼萬分，把榮耀歸給上帝，說：「我們中間出了一位大先知！」又說：「上帝眷顧了祂的百姓！」 17 有關祂的這消息傳遍了猶太和附近地區。
施洗者約翰的疑問
18 約翰從自己的門徒那裡獲悉這些事後， 19 就叫了兩個門徒來，派他們去問主：「將要來的那位就是你嗎？還是我們要等別人呢？」
20 他們找到耶穌，便問：「施洗者約翰派我們來請教你，『將要來的那位就是你嗎？還是我們要等別人呢？』」
21 那時，耶穌剛治好了許多患各種疾病和被鬼附身的人，又使許多瞎子得見光明。 22 耶穌便回答說：「你們回去把所見所聞告訴約翰，就是瞎子看見，瘸子走路，痲瘋病人得潔淨，聾子聽見，死人復活，窮人聽到福音。 23 凡對我沒有失去信心的人有福了！」
耶穌稱讚施洗者約翰
24 約翰的門徒離去後，耶穌對眾人談論約翰，說：「你們從前去曠野要看什麼呢？看隨風搖動的蘆葦嗎？ 25 如果不是，你們到底想看什麼？是看穿綾羅綢緞的人嗎？那些衣著華麗、生活奢侈的人住在王宮裡。 26 你們究竟想看什麼？看先知嗎？是的，我告訴你們，他不只是先知。 27 聖經上說，『看啊，我要差遣我的使者在你前面為你預備道路。』這裡所指的就是約翰。 28 我告訴你們，凡婦人所生的，沒有一個比約翰大，但上帝國中最微不足道的也比他大。」
29 眾百姓和稅吏聽了這番話，都承認上帝是公義的，因為他們接受了約翰的洗禮。 30 但那些法利賽人和律法教師沒有接受約翰的洗禮，拒絕了上帝為他們所定的旨意。
31 主又說：「我用什麼來比擬這個世代的人呢？他們像什麼呢？ 32 他們就如街頭上戲耍的孩童——彼此呼叫，
『我們吹娶親的樂曲，
你們不跳舞；
我們唱送葬的哀歌，
你們不哭泣。』
33 施洗者約翰來了，禁食禁酒，你們就說他被鬼附身了； 34 人子來了，又吃又喝，你們就說，『看啊，祂是個貪吃好酒之徒，與稅吏和罪人爲友！』 35 然而，智慧會在追求智慧的人身上得到驗證。」
罪婦的悔改
36 有一個法利賽人請耶穌到他家裡吃飯，耶穌應邀赴宴。 37 那城裡住著一個女人，生活敗壞。她聽說耶穌在那法利賽人家裡吃飯，就帶了一個盛滿香膏的玉瓶進去。 38 她站在耶穌背後，挨著祂的腳哭，淚水滴濕了祂的腳，就用自己的頭髮擦乾，又連連親祂的腳，並抹上香膏。

治好百夫長的僕人(A)
7 耶穌向群眾講完這一切話，就進了迦百農。 2 有百夫長所重用的一個奴僕，病得快要死了。 3 百夫長聽見耶穌的事，就打發猶太人中幾個長老到他那裡，求他去醫治他的奴僕。 4 長老們就來見耶穌，懇切地求他說：“你給他行這事，是他配得的， 5 因為他愛我們的人民，給我們建造會堂。” 6 耶穌就和他們同去。離那家不遠的時候，百夫長派幾個朋友來說：“主啊，不必勞駕，因為你到舍下來，我實在不敢當， 7 我也覺得沒有資格去見你；只要你說一句話，我的僕人就必好了。 8 因為我自己是在別人的權下，也有兵在我以下；我對這個說：‘去！’他就去；對另一個說：‘來！’他就來；對我的僕人說：‘作這個！’他就作。” 9 耶穌聽見這些話，就很驚奇，轉身對跟隨的眾人說：“我告訴你們，這樣的信心，我在以色列中從來沒有見過。” 10 奉派的人回到家裡，見那奴僕已經好了。
使拿因城寡婦的兒子復活
11 後來耶穌往拿因城去，與他同去的有門徒和一大群人。 12 他走近城門的時候，有人把一個死人抬出來，是個獨生子，他母親又是個寡婦。城裡有一大群人陪著她。 13 主看見了，就憐憫她，對她說：“不要哭！” 14 於是上前按著槓子，抬的人就站住。他說：“青年人，我吩咐你起來！” 15 那死人就坐起來，開口說話，耶穌就把他交給他母親。 16 眾人都驚懼，頌讚 神說：“有偉大的先知在我們中間興起來了！”又說：“ 神眷顧他的子民了！” 17 於是這話傳遍了猶太和周圍各地。
約翰派門徒去見耶穌(B)
18 約翰的門徒把這一切事告訴約翰。他就叫了兩個門徒， 19 差他們往主那裡去，說：“你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？” 20 兩人來到耶穌跟前，說：“施洗的約翰差我們來問你：‘你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？’” 21 就在那時候，耶穌治好許多患疾病的、遭災難的、身上有污鬼附著的，並且施恩給瞎眼的，使他們看見。 22 耶穌回答他們：“你們回去，把看見和聽見的都告訴約翰，就是瞎的可以看見，跛的可以走路，患痲風的得到潔淨，聾的可以聽見，死人復活，窮人有福音聽。 23 那不被我絆倒的，就有福了。”
耶穌論約翰(C)
24 約翰差來的人走了以後，耶穌對群眾講起約翰來，說：“你們到曠野去，是要看甚麼？被風吹動的蘆葦嗎？ 25 你們出去到底要看甚麼？身穿華麗衣服的人嗎？這些衣服華麗，生活奢侈的人，是在王宮裡的。 26 那麼，你們出去要看甚麼？先知嗎？我告訴你們，是的。他比先知重要得多了。 27 聖經所記：
‘看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
他必在你前頭預備你的道路’，
這句話是指著他說的。 28 我告訴你們，婦人所生的，沒有一個比約翰更大，然而在 神的國裡最小的比他還大。” 29 眾人和稅吏受過約翰的洗禮，聽見這話，就稱 神為義。 30 但法利賽人和律法師，未受過約翰的洗禮，就拒絕 神對他們的美意。 31 耶穌又說：“我要把這世代的人比作甚麼呢？他們好像甚麼呢？ 32 他們好像小孩子坐在巿中心，彼此呼叫，說：
‘我們給你們吹笛子，你們卻不跳舞；
我們唱哀歌，你們也不啼哭。’
33 因為施洗的約翰來了，不吃飯，不喝酒，你們說他是鬼附的。 34 人子來了，又吃又喝，你們說：‘你看，這人貪食好酒，與稅吏和罪人為友。’ 35 但 神的智慧，藉著他的兒女就證實是公義的了。”
赦免犯了罪的女人（參(D)
36 有一個法利賽人，請耶穌同他吃飯，他就到法利賽人家去赴席。 37 那城裡有一個女人，是個罪人，知道他在法利賽人家裡吃飯，就拿著一瓶香膏， 38 站在耶穌背後，挨近他的腳哭，眼淚滴濕他的腳，又用自己的頭髮擦乾，不住地吻他的腳，並且抹上香膏。

Luke 7
King James Version
7 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
