路加福音 14
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
安息日的辩论
14 有一个安息日，耶稣到一个法利赛人的首领家里去吃饭[a]，他们密切注意着耶稣。 2 当时，有一个患水肿病的人在他面前。 3 于是耶稣问律法师们和法利赛人，说：“在安息日使人痊愈，可以不可以？” 4 他们都安静下来。耶稣就扶着那人，使他痊愈，让他走了。 5 然后耶稣对他们说：“你们当中谁有儿子[b]或牛在安息日这一天掉到井里，而不立刻把他拉上来呢？” 6 他们对这些话不能答辩。
论谦卑
7 耶稣留意到被邀请的人怎样在那里挑选上座，就对他们讲了一个比喻说： 8 “你被人邀请赴婚宴的时候，不要坐在上座，恐怕有比你更尊贵的人也被邀请， 9 那邀请你们[c]的会来对你说：‘请让座给这一位！’那时候，你就要羞惭地去坐末位了。
10 “你被邀请的时候，要去坐在末位上，好让邀请你的人一旦来，就会对你说：‘朋友，请来上座。’那时候，你就在所有一同坐席的人面前有光彩了。 11 因为每一个自我高举的都会被降卑；而自我降卑的都会被高举。”
12 耶稣又对邀请他的人说：“你预备午餐或晚餐的时候，不要叫你的朋友、兄弟、亲戚或富有的邻居，免得他们也回请你，你就得了你的回报了。 13 相反，你预备宴席的时候，要邀请那些贫穷的、残疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 这样你就蒙福了，因为他们没有可回报你的，而在义人复活的时候，你将得到回报。”
大筵席的比喻
15 一同坐席的有一个人听了这些话，就说：“将来能在神的国里吃饭[d]的人是蒙福的！”
16 耶稣对他说：“有一个人预备盛大的宴席，邀请了许多人。 17 到了宴席的时刻，他派奴仆去对那些被邀请的人说：‘请来吧，一切都已经预备好了！’
18 “可是他们都开始一致地推辞。第一个说：‘我买了一块地，必须去看看，请你容我推辞吧。’
19 “另一个说：‘我买了五对牛，正要去试试它们，请你容我推辞吧。’
20 “另有人说：‘我刚娶了妻子，所以不能去。’
21 “奴仆回来把这些事报告给主人。那家的主人就发怒，吩咐奴仆说：‘赶快出去，到城里的大街[e]小巷，把那些贫穷的、残疾的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都带到这里来。’
22 “奴仆说：‘主人，你所吩咐的已经做了，可是还有位子。’
23 “主人就对奴仆说：‘出去，到大街和小巷[f]上去，强求人进来，好坐满我的房子。 24 我告诉你们：原本被邀请的那些人，没有一个能尝到我的宴席。’”
跟随主的代价
25 有一大群人与耶稣同行。他转过身来对他们说： 26 “如果有人到我这里来，而不恨自己的父亲、母亲、妻子、儿女、兄弟、姐妹，甚至自己的生命，他就不能做我的门徒。 27 凡是不背着自己的十字架来跟从我的，也不能做我的门徒。
28 “你们当中到底有谁想盖一座楼，不先坐下来计算费用，看自己是否能够完成呢？ 29 免得立好了地基，却不能完工，看见的人都开始嘲笑他， 30 说：‘这个人开始盖了，却不能完工！’
31 “或者，有哪一个君王要出去和别的君王交战，不先坐下来考虑是否能够用一万兵去迎战那用两万兵来攻打他的呢？ 32 否则，就会趁着他还远的时候，差派特使去求问和平的事宜。 33 同样，你们当中任何人，如果不向自己所拥有的一切告别，就不能做我的门徒。
34 “因此盐是好的，但如果连盐也失去了味道，还能用什么来调味呢？ 35 把它用在田地里或在粪肥里都不合适，只好把它丢在外面。凡是有耳可听的，就应当听！”

Luke 14
New Century Version
Healing on the Sabbath
14 On a Sabbath day, when Jesus went to eat at the home of a leading Pharisee, the people were watching Jesus very closely. 2 And in front of him was a man with dropsy.[a] 3 Jesus said to the Pharisees and experts on 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 child[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 When Jesus noticed that some of the guests were choosing the best places to sit, he told this story: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, don’t take the most important seat, because someone more important than you may have been invited. 9 The host, who invited both of you, will come to you and say, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be embarrassed and will have to move to the last place. 10 So when you are invited, go sit in a seat that is not important. When the host comes to you, he may say, ‘Friend, move up here to a more important place.’ Then all the other guests will respect you. 11 All who make themselves great will be made humble, but those who make themselves 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, your family, your other relatives, and your rich neighbors. At another time they will invite you to eat with them, and you will be repaid. 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 have nothing and cannot pay you back. But you will be repaid when the good people rise from the dead.”
A Story About a Big Banquet
15 One of those at the table with Jesus heard these things and said to him, “Blessed are the people who will share in the meal in God’s kingdom.”
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 made excuses. The first one said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go look at it. Please excuse me.’ 19 Another said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of oxen; I must go and try them. Please excuse me.’ 20 A third person said, ‘I just got married; I can’t come.’ 21 So the servant returned and told his master what had happened. Then the master became angry and said, ‘Go at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ 22 Later the servant said to him, ‘Master, I did what you commanded, but we still have room.’ 23 The master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes, and urge the people there to come so my house will be full. 24 I tell you, none of those whom I invited first will eat with me.’”
The Cost of Being Jesus’ Follower
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters—or even life—more than me, he cannot be my follower. 27 Whoever is not willing to carry his cross and follow me cannot be my follower. 28 If you want to build a tower, you first sit down and decide how much it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job. 29 If you don’t, you might lay the foundation, but you would not be able to finish. Then all who would see it would make fun of you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build but was not able to finish.’
31 “If a king is going to fight another king, first he will sit down and plan. He will decide if he and his ten thousand soldiers can defeat the other king who has twenty thousand soldiers. 32 If he can’t, then while the other king is still far away, he will send some people to speak to him and ask for peace. 33 In the same way, you must give up everything you have to be my follower.
Don’t Lose Your Influence
34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its salty taste, you cannot make it salty again. 35 It is no good for the soil or for manure; it is thrown away.
“Let those with ears use them and listen.”
