路加福音 14
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
在安息日治好水腫病人
14 安息日,耶穌到一個法利賽人的領袖家裏去吃飯,他們就窺探他。 2 這時在他面前有一個患水腫病的人。 3 耶穌回答律法師和法利賽人,說:「安息日治病合不合法?」 4 他們卻不說話。耶穌扶着那人,治好了他,叫他走了。 5 耶穌對他們說:「你們中間誰有兒子[a]或有牛在安息日掉在井裏,不立刻拉他上來呢?」 6 他們對這些事不能反駁。
對客人和主人的教導
7 耶穌見所請的客人選擇首位,就用比喻對他們說: 8 「你被人請去赴婚宴,不要坐在首位上,恐怕主人請了比你尊貴的客人, 9 請了你和他的那人前來,對你說:『請讓座給這一位吧。』你就羞羞慚慚地退到末位去了。 10 你被請的時候,去坐在末位上,好讓主人來對你說:『朋友,請上座。』那時,你在同席的人面前就有光彩了。 11 因為凡自高的,必降為卑;自甘卑微的,必升為高。」
12 耶穌又對請他的人說:「你準備午飯或晚餐,不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親屬和富足的鄰舍,免得他們回請你,你就得了報答。 13 你擺設宴席,倒要請那貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、失明的, 14 你就有福了!因為他們沒有甚麼可報答你。到義人復活的時候,你要得到報答。」
大宴席的比喻(A)
15 同席的有一人聽見這些話,就對耶穌說:「在 神國裏吃飯的有福了!」 16 耶穌對他說:「有人擺設大宴席,請了許多客人。 17 到了坐席的時候,他打發僕人去對所請的人說:『請來吧!樣樣都已齊備了。』 18 眾人異口同聲地推辭。頭一個對他說:『我買了一塊地,必須去看看。請你准我辭了。』 19 另一個說:『我買了五對牛,要去試一試。請你准我辭了。』 20 又有一個說:『我才娶了妻子,所以不能去。』 21 那僕人回來,把這些事都告訴了主人。這家的主人就發怒,對僕人說:『快出去,到城裏大街小巷,領那貧窮的、殘疾的、失明的、瘸腿的來。』 22 僕人說:『主啊,你所吩咐的已經辦了,還有空位。』 23 主人對僕人說:『你出去,到大街小巷強拉人進來,坐滿我的屋子。 24 我告訴你們,先前所請的人沒有一個可以嘗到我的宴席。』」
作門徒的代價(B)
25 有一大羣人和耶穌同行。他轉過來對他們說: 26 「無論甚麼人到我這裏來,若不愛我勝過愛[b]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 凡不背着自己的十字架來跟從我的,也不能作我的門徒。 28 你們哪一個要蓋一座樓,不先坐下來計算費用,看能不能蓋成? 29 免得安了地基,不能蓋成,看見的人都笑話他,說: 30 『這個人開了工,卻不能完工。』 31 或是一個王出去和別的王打仗,豈不先坐下來酌量,他能不能用一萬兵去抵抗那領二萬兵來攻打他的嗎? 32 若是不能,他就趁敵人還遠的時候,派使者去談和平的條件。 33 這樣,你們無論甚麼人,若不撇下一切所有的,就不能作我的門徒。」
失味的鹽(C)
34 「鹽本是好的;鹽若失了味,怎能叫它再鹹呢? 35 或用在田裏,或堆在糞裏,都不合適,只好丟在外面。有耳可聽的,就應當聽!」
Luke 14
1599 Geneva Bible
14 The dropsy healed on the Sabbath. 8 The chief place: at banquets. 12 The poor must be called to our feasts. 16 Of those that were bid to the great supper. 23 Some compelled to come in. 28 One about to build a tower.
1 And [a]it came to pass that when he was entered into the house of [b]one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath day, to eat bread, they watched him.
2 And behold, there was a certain man before him, which had the dropsy.
3 Then Jesus answering, spake unto the Lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. Then 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 those things.
7 ¶ [c]He spake also a parable to the guests, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms, and said unto them,
8 When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thyself down in the chiefest place, lest a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,
9 And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Give this man room, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 (A)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, sit up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
11 (B)For whosoever exalteth himself, shall be brought low, and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
12 ¶ [d]Then said he also to him that had bidden him, (C)When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor the rich neighbors, lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind,
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 ¶ Now when one of them that sat at table heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he to him, (D)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 [e]But they all with [f]one mind began to make excuse: The first said unto him, I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out 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 returned, and showed his master these things. Then was the good man of the house angry, and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the [g]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 Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways, and hedges, and compel them to come in, that mine house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
25 [h]Now there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and said unto them,
26 (E)If any man come to me, and [i]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 (F)[j]And whosoever beareth not his cross, and cometh after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you minding to build a tower, [k]sitting not down before, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to perform it,
29 Lest that after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to perform it, all that behold it, begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to make an end.
31 Or what King going to make war against another King, sitteth not down first, and taketh counsel, whether he be able with ten thousand, to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else while he is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 (G)[l]Salt is good: but if salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted?
35 It is neither meet for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
