耶稣的警告

17 耶稣对他的门徒们说:“那些使人绊脚的事必然出现[a],不过使它出现的人有祸了。 对他来说,就算脖子上拴着大磨石[b],被丢到海里,也比他使这些卑微人中的一个绊倒更好。 你们要谨慎!如果你的弟兄[c]犯了罪,就告诫他;如果他悔改,就饶恕他。 如果他一天七次对你犯了罪,又[d]七次回转过来,对你说:‘我悔改!’你要饶恕他。”

信心与本分

使徒们对主说:“请你加添我们的信心[e]。”

主说:“如果你们有像一粒芥菜种子那样的信仰,即使是对这棵桑树说‘愿你被连根拔起,栽到海里去!’它也会听从你们。

“你们当中谁有奴仆耕田或放羊,从田里回来的时候,会对奴仆说‘立刻过来,坐下吃饭’呢? 他难道不会对奴仆说‘你预备我所要吃的晚餐,束上腰带伺候我,等我吃喝完了,你才要吃喝’吗? 奴仆做了所吩咐的事,难道主人要向奴仆怀有感恩的心吗?[f] 10 你们也是这样,当你们做完了所吩咐你们的一切事以后,应该说‘我们是无用的奴仆,只是做了自己该做的。’”

十个麻风病人

11 耶稣往耶路撒冷去的时候,经过撒马利亚加利利的中间地带。 12 他进了一个村子,有十个麻风病人见到他,远远地站着, 13 大声说:“耶稣啊,老师啊,可怜我们吧!”

14 耶稣看见了,就对他们说:“你们去,让祭司检查你们吧!”结果在他们去的时候,就被洁净了。

15 其中有一个人看见自己得了痊愈,就回来大声地荣耀神, 16 并且把脸伏在耶稣脚前,感谢他。这人是个撒马利亚人。

17 耶稣回答说:“被洁净的不是有十个人吗?另外九个在哪里呢? 18 除了这个外邦人,难道没有人回来把荣耀归给神吗?” 19 然后耶稣对他说:“起来,走吧!你的信救了你。”

天国的来临

20 有一次,法利赛人问耶稣:“神的国什么时候到来呢?”耶稣回答说:“神国的到来,不是眼所能见的。 21 没有人能说‘看,在这里!’或‘在那里!’因为看哪,神的国就在你们中间[g]。”

22 耶稣又对门徒们说:“日子将要来到,那时候你们会渴望看见人子日子中的一天,可是看不到。 23 他们会告诉你们‘看,在那里!’或‘看,在这里!’你们不要出去,也不要追随他们; 24 因为就像闪电一闪,从天这边照耀到天那边,人子在他的日子[h]也将要这样。 25 不过他必须先受很多苦害,又被这世代所弃绝。

26 “在挪亚的那些日子里发生的怎样,在人子的那些日子里也将要怎样: 27 人们继续吃、喝、嫁、娶,直到挪亚进方舟的那一天,洪水到来,把一切都毁灭了。 28 同样,就像在罗得的那些日子里发生的那样:人们继续吃喝、买卖、耕种、建造, 29 到了罗得离开所多玛的那一天,烈火和硫磺就从天而降,把一切都毁灭了。 30 人子显现的那一天,也将是同样的。 31 在那一天,在屋顶上的人,如果东西在屋子里,不要下来拿;同样,在田里的人,也不要转回到背后的事上。 32 你们当记得罗得的妻子! 33 凡想要保全[i]自己生命的,将失去生命;凡失去自己生命的,将保存生命。 34 我告诉你们:在那一夜,两个人在一张床上,一个会被接去,另一个会被留下; 35 两个女人在一起推磨,一个会被接去,另一个会被留下。” 36 两个人在田里,一个会被接去,另一个会被留下。[j]

37 门徒们问耶稣,说:“主啊,在哪里呢?”

耶稣对他们说:“尸体在哪里,秃鹰也就聚集在哪里。”

論罪、信心和本分

17 耶穌教導門徒說:「引人犯罪的事是免不了的,但引人犯罪的人有禍了。 誰使一個卑微的弟兄失足犯罪,他的下場比把大磨石拴在他脖子上扔到海裡還要慘。 你們要小心謹慎!你的弟兄若犯了罪,要責備他。他若悔改,要饒恕他。 就算他一天得罪你七次,每次都對你說,『我悔改』,你都要饒恕他。」

使徒對主說:「請你加添我們的信心。」

主說:「如果你們的信心像一粒芥菜種那麼大,便可對這棵桑樹說,『連根拔起,栽在大海裡!』它必服從你們。

「你們誰會對種田或放羊回來的奴僕說,『請趕快坐下來吃飯』? 不都是吩咐他『給我準備晚飯,束上腰帶伺候我用餐,等我吃完,你才可以吃』嗎? 奴僕照著吩咐去做,主人會謝他嗎? 10 同樣,你們照著吩咐把事情辦妥後,也該這樣說,『我們是無用的奴僕,所做的不過是分內的事。』」

十個痲瘋病人

11 耶穌繼續前往耶路撒冷,途經撒瑪利亞和加利利的交界處。 12 祂進入一個村莊時,十個痲瘋病人迎面而來。他們遠遠地站著, 13 高聲呼喊道:「耶穌,老師啊,求你可憐我們吧!」

14 耶穌看見他們,就說:「去讓祭司察看你們的身體。」

他們去的時候,就潔淨了。 15 其中一個發現自己痊癒了,就跑回來,高聲讚美上帝, 16 又俯伏在耶穌的腳前連連稱謝。這人是撒瑪利亞人。

17 耶穌說:「被醫好的不是有十個人嗎?其他九個呢? 18 回來讚美稱頌上帝的只有這個外族人嗎?」 19 於是祂對那人說:「起來回去吧!你的信心救了你。」

上帝國的降臨

20 法利賽人問耶穌:「上帝的國什麼時候降臨?」

耶穌回答說:「上帝國的降臨並沒有看得見的徵兆。 21 所以沒有人能說,『上帝的國在這裡』,或說,『在那裡』,因為上帝的國就在你們心裡[a]。」

22 祂又對門徒說:「時候將到,你們將渴望見到人子降臨的日子,可是你們卻見不到。 23 有人將對你們說,『看啊,祂在這裡!』或說,『看啊,祂在那裡!』你們不要出去,也不要追隨他們。 24 因為人子降臨的時候必如劃過長空的閃電,從天這邊一直照亮到天那邊。 25 但祂必須先受苦,被這個世代棄絕。

26 「人子降臨時的情形將像挪亞的時代, 27 人們吃喝嫁娶,一直到挪亞進入方舟那天,洪水來了,毀滅了他們; 28 又像羅得的時代,人們吃喝、做買賣、耕地、蓋房。 29 在羅得離開所多瑪那天,烈火和硫磺從天而降,把他們全毀滅了。

30 「人子顯現之日的情形也是如此。 31 那天,在自己屋頂上的,不要下來收拾行李;在田裡工作的,也不要回家。 32 你們要記住羅得妻子的事。 33 想保全生命的,必喪失生命;喪失生命的,必保全生命。 34 我告訴你們,那天晚上,兩個人睡在一張床上,一個將被接去,一個將被撇下; 35 兩個女人一起推磨,一個將被接去,一個將被撇下; 36 兩個人在田間,一個將被接去,一個將被撇下。[b]

37 門徒問:「主啊,在哪裡有這事呢?」

耶穌回答說:「屍體在哪裡,禿鷹就會聚集在哪裡。」

Jesus Warns of Offenses(A)

17 Then He said to the disciples, (B)“It is impossible that no [a]offenses should come, but (C)woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should [b]offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves. (D)If your brother sins [c]against you, (E)rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns [d]to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

Faith and Duty(F)

And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

(G)So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself (H)and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded [e]him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are (I)unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”

Ten Lepers Cleansed

11 Now it happened (J)as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, (K)who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, (L)“Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice (M)glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a (N)Samaritan.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 (O)And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

The Coming of the Kingdom(P)

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 (Q)nor will they say, [f]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, (R)the kingdom of God is [g]within you.”

22 Then He said to the disciples, (S)“The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 (T)And they will say to you, [h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 (U)For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 (V)But first He must suffer many things and be (W)rejected by this generation. 26 (X)And as it (Y)was in the (Z)days of (AA)Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the (AB)day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and (AC)destroyed them all. 28 (AD)Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on (AE)the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man (AF)is revealed.

31 “In that day, he (AG)who is on the housetop, and his [i]goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 (AH)Remember Lot’s wife. 33 (AI)Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 (AJ)I tell you, in that night there will be two [j]men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 (AK)Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 [k]Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

37 And they answered and said to Him, (AL)“Where, Lord?”

So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”
