路加福音 14
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
治好水臌病的人
14 在安息日，耶稣进了一个法利赛人领袖的家里吃饭，众人都在窥探他。 2 正好在他面前有一个患水臌病的人； 3 耶稣对律法师和法利赛人说：“在安息日治病，可以不可以呢？” 4 他们却不出声。耶稣扶着病人，治好他，叫他走了， 5 就对他们说：“你们中间谁的儿子或牛在安息日掉在井里，不立刻把他拉上来呢？” 6 他们不能回答这些话。
耶稣教训筵席的主人（参(A)
7 耶稣看见被邀请的客人选择高位，就用比喻对他们说： 8 “你被邀请参加婚筵的时候，不要自己坐在高位上，恐怕有比你更尊贵的客人也被请来； 9 那请你又请他的人过来对你说：‘请你让位给这个人。’那时你就惭愧地退居末位了。 10 你被邀请的时候，要坐在末位上，等请你的人过来对你说：‘朋友，请上座。’那时你在同席的人面前才有光彩。 11 因为凡高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己谦卑的，必要升高。” 12 耶稣又对邀请他的人说：“你设午餐或晚宴，不要请你的朋友、弟兄、亲戚或富裕的邻舍，恐怕他们又回请你，你就得了报答。 13 你摆筵席的时候，总要邀请那贫穷的、残废的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 那你就有福了。因为他们没有甚么可以报答你，义人复活的时候，你必定得着报答。”
婚筵的比喻（参(B)
15 一起吃饭的人中有一个，听了这些话，就对耶稣说：“在 神的国里吃饭的人有福了。” 16 耶稣对他说：“有一个人大摆筵席，请了许多客人。 17 到了开席的时候，他打发仆人去对所请的人说：‘请来吧！样样都准备好了。’ 18 众人一致推辞，头一个说：‘我买了一块地，不得不去看一看，请原谅我。’ 19 另一个说：‘我买了五对牛，要去试一试，请原谅我。’ 20 又一个说：‘我刚结了婚，不能去。’ 21 仆人回来把这些事告诉他主人，家主就发怒，对仆人说：‘快到城里大街小巷去，把贫穷的、残废的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都领到这里来。’ 22 仆人说：‘主啊，你所吩咐的已经办了，还有空位。’ 23 主人就对仆人说：‘你出去到路边篱畔，勉强人进来，好把我的屋子坐满。 24 我告诉你们，先前请的那些人，一个也不得尝我的筵席。’”
作门徒的代价（参(C)
25 有许多人与耶稣同行，他转身对他们说： 26 “如果有人到我这里来，爱我不超过爱（“爱我不超过爱”原文作“不恨”）自己的父母、妻子、儿女、兄弟、姊妹，甚至自己的性命，就不能作我的门徒。 27 凡不背着自己的十字架跟随我的，也不能作我的门徒。 28 你们当中有谁要盖一座楼，不先坐下计算费用，能不能盖成呢？ 29 恐怕安了地基，而不能完成，所有看见的人都讥笑他， 30 说：‘这个人开了工，却不能完工。’ 31 或者一个王去和别的王打仗，哪有不先坐下想想，能否用一万兵去抵抗那领两万来攻打他的呢？ 32 如果不能，就该趁对方还远的时候，派使者去谈判和平的条件。 33 这样，你们中间不论谁，如果不撇下一切所有的，就不能作我的门徒。
34 “盐本来是好的，但如果失了味，怎能使它再咸呢？ 35 或用在田里，或放在粪里，都不合适；只好扔在外面。有耳可听的，就应当听。”
路 加 福 音 14
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
在安息日给人治病对吗？
14 在一个安息日里，耶稣来到法利赛人的一个首领家里去吃饭。在场的人们都密切地注视着他， 2 因为耶稣面前有一个患水肿病的人。 3 耶稣一见他就开口问律法师和法利赛人∶“在安息日是否允许为人治病呢？” 4 可是，没有人作声，于是，耶稣扶着那个病人并治愈了他，然后叫他离开了。 5 耶稣又对律法师和法利赛人说∶“如果你们中间，有人的儿子、或者是他家的一头牛，在安息日时掉进了井里，那么，难道你们不会把他（它）马上拽上来吗？” 6 这些人立刻被问得哑口无言了。
不要自命不凡
7 耶稣看到客人都为自己挑选贵宾席位，所以耶稣给他们讲了一个比喻，他说： 8 “有人请你们去赴婚筵时，不要坐在贵宾席上，因为主人可能已邀请了比你们更重要的客人。 9 如果真的是那样的话，邀请你的人就会走到你身边，对你说∶‘请把你的座位让给这个人。’那时，你只好羞愧地退到最后的座位上去。 10 但是你们受到邀请时，你们主动坐到了末座上，所以，当主人来对你说∶‘朋友，请上座。’那时，你就会在所有的来客面前有光彩。 11 因为自命不凡的人将受到贬低，而自甘谦卑的人则受到器重。”
你将得回报
12 然后，耶稣又对邀请他的那个人说∶“你招待午餐或晚餐时，不要邀请你的朋友、兄弟、亲戚或富有的邻居，因为，他们这些人将回请你，那样的话，你就得了回报。 13 但是，你摆宴席时，要邀请穷人、残疾人，瘸腿的和瞎眼的， 14 他们拿不出什么东西回报你，这样，你就有福了，因为你们将在虔诚的人复活的日子里得到报偿。”
邀请赴宴的故事
15 当时，与耶稣同桌吃饭的一个人听到了这些话就对耶稣说∶“能在上帝王国里享受筵席的人是多么有福啊！”
16 耶稣对他说∶“一个人准备了一顿丰盛的宴席，又邀请了很多客人。 17 到了该吃饭的时候，他派奴仆去对客人说∶‘请来吧，一切都准备好了！’ 18 可是，这些客人都开始找借口来推辞。第一个人说∶‘我刚买了一块地，我必须出去看看，请原谅。’ 19 另一个人说∶‘我买了五对牛，要去试试它们，请原谅。’ 20 还有一个说∶‘我刚刚结婚，所以我不能来。’ 21 于是，那个仆人回来，把一切都报告给了主人，主人听后，很生气，便对仆人说∶‘你到大街小巷里去，把那些穷人、残疾人，瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都请来！’ 22 后来，仆人又说∶‘主人，我照您的吩咐做了，可是还有些空座位，’ 23 然后主人对仆人说∶‘出去到路上，沿着栅栏，劝人进来，让我的房子都坐满了人。 24 我告诉你们：我原来请的那些人，没有一个能尝到我的筵席！’”
决定是否你们能跟随我
25 有很多人与耶稣同行着，他转过身对他们说∶ 26 “到我这里来的人，如果爱我不能胜过爱他的父母、妻子、儿女、兄弟、姐妹，甚至自己的生命，那么，他就不能做我的门徒； 27 不肯背着他的十字架跟随我的人也不能做我的门徒； 28 如果你们中有人想造一座塔，他会不会首先坐下来，仔细计算费用，看看他是否有足够的钱去完工呢？ 29 否则，他有可能打下地基，但却不能完工。到那时，所有看到这一切人就都会嘲笑他说： 30 ‘这个人只能开工，但是却不能完工！’
31 “如果一个国王出征与另一个国王打仗，他会不会首先坐下来，仔细考虑他的一万个士兵是否能抵挡另一个拥有两万个士兵的国王呢？ 32 如果不能，他就应该趁敌人还在远方时，派谴使者去与对方谈判和平的条件。 33 同样，如果你们有谁不能放弃他拥有的财产，就不能成为我的门徒。
不要失去你们的影响
34 “盐是好东西，但是，如果盐失去了咸味，它怎么可能再变咸呢？ 35 不咸的盐甚至对土壤和肥料都毫无益处，只好扔掉。
“凡有耳朵听的人，都听着！”
Luke 14
New King James Version
A Man with Dropsy Healed on the Sabbath
14 Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they watched Him closely. 2 And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. 3 And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, (A)“Is it lawful to heal on the [a]Sabbath?”
4 But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go. 5 Then He answered them, saying, (B)“Which of you, having a [b]donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?” 6 And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
Take the Lowly Place
7 So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: 8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 (C)But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. 11 (D)For whoever exalts himself will be [c]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite (E)the poor, the [d]maimed, the lame, the blind. 14 And you will be (F)blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
The Parable of the Great Supper(G)
15 Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, (H)“Blessed is he who shall eat [e]bread in the kingdom of God!”
16 (I)Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, 17 and (J)sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ 18 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’ 20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So that servant came and reported these things to his master. 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 here the poor and the [f]maimed and the lame and the blind.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still 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 my house may be filled. 24 For I say to you (K)that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.’ ”
Leaving All to Follow Christ(L)
25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 (M)“If anyone comes to Me (N)and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, (O)yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And (P)whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For (Q)which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— 29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see 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, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you (R)does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
Tasteless Salt Is Worthless(S)
34 (T)“Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the land nor for the [g]dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

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.
