饒恕得罪你的人(A)

17 耶穌又對門徒說:「絆倒人的事是免不了的,但那絆倒人的有禍了! 人若把這些小子中的一個絆倒的,還不如把磨石拴在他的頸項上,丟在海裏。 你們要謹慎!若是你的弟兄犯罪,就勸戒他;他若懊悔,就饒恕他。 如果他一天七次得罪你,又七次回頭,說:『我懊悔了』,你總要饒恕他。」

信心的能力

使徒對主說:「請加增我們的信心。」 主說:「你們若有信心像一粒芥菜種,就是對這棵桑樹說:『你要連根拔起,栽在海裏』,它也會聽從你們。」

僕人的本分

「你們當中誰有僕人耕地或是放羊,從田裏回來,就對他說『你快來坐下吃飯』呢? 他豈不對僕人說『你給我預備晚飯,束上帶子伺候我,等我吃喝完了,你才可以吃喝』嗎? 僕人照所吩咐的去做,主人還謝謝他嗎? 10 這樣,你們做完了一切所吩咐的,要說:『我們是無用的僕人,所做的本是我們該做的。』」

治好十個痲瘋病人

11 耶穌往耶路撒冷去,經過撒瑪利亞加利利中間的地區。 12 他進入一個村子,有十個痲瘋病人迎面而來,遠遠地站着, 13 高聲說:「耶穌,老師啊,可憐我們吧!」 14 耶穌看見,就對他們說:「你們去,把身體給祭司檢查。」他們正去的時候就潔淨了。 15 其中有一個見自己已經好了,就回來大聲歸榮耀給 神, 16 又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝他。這人是撒瑪利亞人。 17 耶穌回答說:「潔淨了的不是十個人嗎?那九個在哪裏呢? 18 除了這外族人,再沒有別人回來歸榮耀給 神嗎?」 19 於是他對那人說:「起來,走吧,你的信救了你!」

 神國的來到(B)

20 法利賽人問:「 神的國幾時來到?」耶穌回答:「 神的國來到,不是眼睛看得見的。 21 人也不能說:『看哪,在這裏!』或說:『在那裏!』因為 神的國就在你們心裏[a]。」 22 他又對門徒說:「那些日子將到,你們渴望能看見人子的一個日子,卻看不見。 23 有人要對你們說:『看哪,在那裏!』或說:『看哪,在這裏!』你們不要出去,也不要追隨他們。 24 好像閃電從天這邊一閃直照到天那邊,人子在他的日子[b]也要這樣。 25 可是他必須先受許多苦,又被這世代所棄絕。 26 挪亞的日子怎樣,人子的日子也要怎樣。 27 那時,人又吃又喝,又娶又嫁,直到挪亞進方舟的那日,洪水就來,把他們全都滅了。 28 同樣,就像在羅得的日子,人又吃又喝,又買又賣,又耕種又建造, 29 羅得離開所多瑪的那日,有火與硫磺從天上降下來,把他們全都滅了。 30 人子顯現的日子也要這樣。 31 在那日,人在屋頂上,東西在屋裏,不要下來拿;人在田裏,也不要回家。 32 你們想想羅得的妻子吧! 33 凡想保全性命的,要喪失性命;凡喪失性命的,要保存性命。 34 我告訴你們,在那一夜,兩個人在一張床上,一個被接去,一個被撇下。 35 兩個女人一同推磨,一個被接去,一個被撇下。[c] 37 門徒回答他說:「主啊,在哪裏呢?」耶穌對他們說:「屍首在哪裏,鷹也會聚在哪裏。」

饶恕、信心、服事等教训(A)

17 耶稣又对门徒说:“使人犯罪的事是免不了的,但那使人犯罪的人有祸了! 就算拿一块大磨石拴在他的颈项上,把他沉在深海里,比他使这小子中的一个犯罪还好。 你们应当谨慎。如果你弟兄得罪你,就劝戒他;他若懊悔,就饶恕他。 如果他一天七次得罪你,又七次回转,对你说:‘我懊悔了!’你总要饶恕他。”

使徒对主说:“请你加添我们的信心。” 主说:“如果你们有信心像一粒芥菜种,就是对这棵桑树说:‘拔起根来,栽到海里去!’它也必听从你们。

“你们中间谁有仆人去耕地或是放羊,从田里回来,你就对他说:‘快过来坐下吃饭’; 而不对他说:‘给我预备晚餐,束起腰来服事我,等我吃喝完了,你才吃喝’呢? 仆人作了所吩咐的事,主人还谢谢他吗? 10 你们也是这样,作完一切吩咐你们的事,应该说:‘我们是无用的仆人,我们只作了应分作的。’”

治好十个痲风病人

11 耶稣往耶路撒冷去,经过撒玛利亚和加利利的边境。 12 他走进一个村庄,有十个痲风病人迎面而来,远远地站着, 13 大声说:“主耶稣啊,可怜我们吧!” 14 他看见了,就对他们说:“你们去给祭司检查吧。”他们去的时候就洁净了。 15 内中有一个人见自己已经好了,就回来大声颂赞 神, 16 在耶稣脚前把脸伏在地上感谢他。他是一个撒玛利亚人。 17 耶稣说:“洁净了的不是有十个人吗?那九个在哪里? 18 除了这外族人,再没有一个回来颂赞 神吗?” 19 耶稣就对他说:“起来,走吧,你的信使你痊愈了。”

 神的国降临的情形(B)

20 法利赛人问耶稣:“ 神的国甚么时候来到呢?”他回答:“ 神的国来到,是眼睛看不见的。 21 人不能说:‘看哪!在这里’,或说:‘在那里’;因为 神的国就在你们里面。” 22 他又对门徒说:“日子将到,你们渴望看见人子的一个日子,却见不到。 23 有人会对你们说:‘看哪,在那里;看哪,在这里!’你们不要出去,也不要追随他们。 24 电光怎样从天这边一闪,直照到天那边,人子在他的日子也是这样。 25 但他必须先受许多苦,被这个世代弃绝。 26 挪亚的时代怎样,人子的时代也是怎样。 27 当时人们吃喝嫁娶,直到挪亚进入方舟的那一天,洪水来了,把他们全都灭掉。 28 在罗得的时代也是这样,人们吃喝买卖,耕种建造, 29 直到罗得离开所多玛的那一天,火与硫磺从天上降下来,把他们全都灭掉。 30 人子显现的日子也是这样。 31 当那日,人在房顶上,器具在屋里,不要下来拿;在田里的,照样不要回家。 32 应当记着罗得的妻子的教训。 33 凡是想保全生命的,必丧掉生命;凡是牺牲生命的,却必保全生命。 34 我告诉你们,当那夜,两个人在一张床上,一个被接去,一个被撇下。 35 两个女人一起推磨,一个被接去,一个被撇下。”(有些抄本有第36节:“两个人在田里,一个被接去,一个撇下来。”) 37 门徒问耶稣:“主啊,这些事会在哪里发生呢?”主说:“尸首在哪里,鹰也会聚集在哪里。”

Sin, Faith, Duty

17 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble(A) are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.(B) It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones(C) to stumble.(D) So watch yourselves.

“If your brother or sister[a] sins against you, rebuke them;(E) and if they repent, forgive them.(F) Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”(G)

The apostles(H) said to the Lord,(I) “Increase our faith!”

He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed,(J) you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.(K)

“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me(L) while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”(M)

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy

11 Now on his way to Jerusalem,(N) Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.(O) 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[b](P) met him. They stood at a distance(Q) 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master,(R) have pity on us!”

14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”(S) And as they went, they were cleansed.

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God(T) in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.(U)

17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”(V)

The Coming of the Kingdom of God(W)

20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,(X) Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’(Y) because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[c]

22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,(Z) but you will not see it.(AA) 23 People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.(AB) 24 For the Son of Man in his day[d] will be like the lightning,(AC) which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things(AD) and be rejected(AE) by this generation.(AF)

26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(AG) so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 “It was the same in the days of Lot.(AH) People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(AI) 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.(AJ) 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(AK) 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.(AL) 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”(AM) [36] [e]

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked.

He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”(AN)

Temptations to Sin

17 And he said to his disciples, (A)“Temptations to sin[a] are (B)sure to come, but (C)woe to the one through whom they come! (D)It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.[b] Pay attention to yourselves! (E)If your brother sins, (F)rebuke him, and if he repents, (G)forgive him, and if he sins against you (H)seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

Increase Our Faith

(I)The apostles said to the Lord, (J)“Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, (K)“If you had faith like (L)a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this (M)mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

Unworthy Servants

“Will any one of you who has a servant[c] plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and (N)dress properly,[d] and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? 10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are (O)unworthy servants;[e] we have only done what was our duty.’”

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

11 (P)On the way to Jerusalem (Q)he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[f] (R)who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and (S)show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, (T)praising God with a loud voice; 16 and (U)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was (V)a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not (W)ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and (X)give praise to God except this (Y)foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; (Z)your faith has (AA)made you well.”[g]

The Coming of the Kingdom

20 Being asked by the Pharisees (AB)when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God (AC)is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor (AD)will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”[h]

22 And he said to the disciples, (AE)“The days are coming when you will desire (AF)to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (AG)And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 (AH)For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (AI)in his day.[i] 25 But first (AJ)he must suffer many things and (AK)be rejected by this generation. 26 (AL)Just as it was in the days of (AM)Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 (AN)They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of (AO)Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 (AP)but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be (AQ)on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, (AR)let the one who is on (AS)the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 (AT)Remember Lot's wife. 33 (AU)Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will (AV)keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 (AW)There will be two women (AX)grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[j] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, (AY)“Where the corpse[k] is, there the vultures[l] will gather.”
