路加福音 14
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
在安息日医治胀病
14 安息日，耶稣到一个法利赛人的首领家里去吃饭，他们就窥探他。 2 在他面前有一个患水臌的人。 3 耶稣对律法师和法利赛人说：“安息日治病可以不可以？” 4 他们却不言语。耶稣就治好那人，叫他走了。 5 便对他们说：“你们中间谁有驴或有牛在安息日掉在井里，不立时拉它上来呢？” 6 他们不能对答这话。
教训为客的
7 耶稣见所请的客拣择首位，就用比喻对他们说： 8 “你被人请去赴婚姻的筵席，不要坐在首位上，恐怕有比你尊贵的客被他请来， 9 那请你们的人前来对你说：‘让座给这一位吧！’你就羞羞惭惭地退到末位上去了。 10 你被请的时候，就去坐在末位上，好叫那请你的人来对你说：‘朋友，请上坐！’那时，你在同席的人面前就有光彩了。 11 因为凡自高的，必降为卑；自卑的，必升为高。”
教训为主的
12 耶稣又对请他的人说：“你摆设午饭或晚饭，不要请你的朋友、弟兄、亲属和富足的邻舍，恐怕他们也请你，你就得了报答。 13 你摆设筵席，倒要请那贫穷的、残废的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的，你就有福了！ 14 因为他们没有什么可报答你。到义人复活的时候，你要得着报答。”
藐视救恩
15 同席的有一人听见这话，就对耶稣说：“在神国里吃饭的有福了！” 16 耶稣对他说：“有一人摆设大筵席，请了许多客。 17 到了坐席的时候，打发仆人去对所请的人说：‘请来吧，样样都齐备了。’ 18 众人一口同音地推辞。头一个说：‘我买了一块地，必须去看看。请你准我辞了。’ 19 又有一个说：‘我买了五对牛，要去试一试。请你准我辞了。’ 20 又有一个说：‘我才娶了妻，所以不能去。’ 21 那仆人回来，把这事都告诉了主人。家主就动怒，对仆人说：‘快出去到城里大街小巷，领那贫穷的、残废的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的来。’ 22 仆人说：‘主啊，你所吩咐的已经办了，还有空座。’ 23 主人对仆人说：‘你出去到路上和篱笆那里，勉强人进来，坐满我的屋子。 24 我告诉你们：先前所请的人，没有一个得尝我的筵席！’”
当背十架跟从主
25 有极多的人和耶稣同行。他转过来对他们说： 26 “人到我这里来，若不爱我胜过爱[a]自己的父母、妻子、儿女、弟兄、姐妹和自己的性命，就不能做我的门徒。 27 凡不背着自己十字架跟从我的，也不能做我的门徒。 28 你们哪一个要盖一座楼，不先坐下算计花费，能盖成不能呢？ 29 恐怕安了地基，不能成功，看见的人都笑话他， 30 说：‘这个人开了工，却不能完工！’ 31 或是一个王出去和别的王打仗，岂不先坐下酌量，能用一万兵去敌那领二万兵来攻打他的吗？ 32 若是不能，就趁敌人还远的时候，派使者去求和息的条款。 33 这样，你们无论什么人，若不撇下一切所有的，就不能做我的门徒。 34 盐本是好的，盐若失了味，可用什么叫它再咸呢？ 35 或用在田里，或堆在粪里，都不合适，只好丢在外面。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。」

Is It Right to Heal on the Sabbath?
14 On a Sabbath day, Jesus went to the home of a leading Pharisee to eat with him. The people there were all watching Jesus very closely. 2 A man with dropsy[a] was brought before Jesus. 3 Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “Is it right or wrong to heal on the Sabbath day?” 4 But they would not answer his question. So Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away. 5 Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “If your son[b] or ox falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not pull him out quickly?” 6 And they could not answer him.
Don’t Make Yourself Important
7 Then Jesus noticed that some of the guests were choosing the best places to sit. So Jesus told this story: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, don’t take the most important seat. The host may have invited someone more important than you. 9 And if you are sitting in the most important seat, the host will come to you and say, ‘Give this man your seat.’ Then you will begin to move down to the last place. And you will be very embarrassed. 10 So when you are invited, go sit in a seat that is not important. Then the host will come to you and say, ‘Friend, move up here to a more important place!’ Then all the other guests will respect you. 11 Everyone who makes himself great will be made humble. But the person who makes himself humble will be made great.”
You Will Be Rewarded
12 Then Jesus said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don’t invite only your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. At another time they will invite you to eat with them. Then you will have your reward. 13 Instead, when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind. 14 Then you will be blessed, because they cannot pay you back. They have nothing. But you will be rewarded when the good people rise from death.”
A Story About a Big Banquet
15 One of the men sitting at the table with Jesus heard these things. The man said to Jesus, “The people who will eat a meal in God’s kingdom are blessed.”
16 Jesus said to him, “A man gave a big banquet and invited many people. 17 When it was time to eat, the man sent his servant to tell the guests, ‘Come! Everything is ready!’
18 “But all the guests said they could not come. Each man made an excuse. The first one said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go look at it. Please excuse me.’ 19 Another man said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of oxen; I must go and try them. Please excuse me.’ 20 A third man said, ‘I just got married; I can’t come.’ 21 So the servant returned. He told his master what had happened. Then the master became angry and said, ‘Go at once into the streets and alleys of the town. Bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ 22 Later the servant said to him, ‘Master, I did what you told me to do, but we still have places for more people.’ 23 The master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes. Tell the people there to come. I want my house to be full! 24 None of those men that I invited first will ever eat with me!’”
You Must First Plan
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus. He turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters more than he loves me, then he cannot be my follower. A person must love me more than he loves himself! 27 If anyone is not willing to die on a cross when he follows me, then he cannot be my follower. 28 If you wanted to build a tower, you would first sit down and decide how much it would cost. You must see if you have enough money to finish the job. 29 If you don’t do that, you might begin the work, but you would not be able to finish. And if you could not finish it, then all who would see it would laugh at you. 30 They would say, ‘This man began to build but was not able to finish!’
31 “If a king is going to fight against another king, first he will sit down and plan. If the king has only 10,000 men, he will plan to see if he is able to defeat the other king who has 20,000 men. 32 If he cannot defeat the other king, then he will send some men to speak to the other king and ask for peace. 33 In the same way, you must give up everything you have to follow me. If you don’t, you cannot be my follower!
Don’t Lose Your Influence
34 “Salt is a good thing. But if the salt loses its salty taste, then it is worth nothing. You cannot make it salty again. 35 It is no good for the soil or for manure. People throw it away.
“Let those with ears use them and listen!”
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.
