饒恕、信心、服事等教訓(A)

17 耶穌又對門徒說:“使人犯罪的事是免不了的,但那使人犯罪的人有禍了! 就算拿一塊大磨石拴在他的頸項上,把他沉在深海裡,比他使這小子中的一個犯罪還好。 你們應當謹慎。如果你弟兄得罪你,就勸戒他;他若懊悔,就饒恕他。 如果他一天七次得罪你,又七次回轉,對你說:‘我懊悔了!’你總要饒恕他。”

使徒對主說:“請你加添我們的信心。” 主說:“如果你們有信心像一粒芥菜種,就是對這棵桑樹說:‘拔起根來,栽到海裡去!’它也必聽從你們。

“你們中間誰有僕人去耕地或是放羊,從田裡回來,你就對他說:‘快過來坐下吃飯’; 而不對他說:‘給我預備晚餐,束起腰來服事我,等我吃喝完了,你才吃喝’呢? 僕人作了所吩咐的事,主人還謝謝他嗎? 10 你們也是這樣,作完一切吩咐你們的事,應該說:‘我們是無用的僕人,我們只作了應分作的。’”

治好十個痲風病人

11 耶穌往耶路撒冷去,經過撒瑪利亞和加利利的邊境。 12 他走進一個村莊,有十個痲風病人迎面而來,遠遠地站著, 13 大聲說:“主耶穌啊,可憐我們吧!” 14 他看見了,就對他們說:“你們去給祭司檢查吧。”他們去的時候就潔淨了。 15 內中有一個人見自己已經好了,就回來大聲頌讚 神, 16 在耶穌腳前把臉伏在地上感謝他。他是一個撒瑪利亞人。 17 耶穌說:“潔淨了的不是有十個人嗎?那九個在哪裡? 18 除了這外族人,再沒有一個回來頌讚 神嗎?” 19 耶穌就對他說:“起來,走吧,你的信使你痊愈了。”

 神的國降臨的情形(B)

20 法利賽人問耶穌:“ 神的國甚麼時候來到呢?”他回答:“ 神的國來到,是眼睛看不見的。 21 人不能說:‘看哪!在這裡’,或說:‘在那裡’;因為 神的國就在你們裡面。” 22 他又對門徒說:“日子將到,你們渴望看見人子的一個日子,卻見不到。 23 有人會對你們說:‘看哪,在那裡;看哪,在這裡!’你們不要出去,也不要追隨他們。 24 電光怎樣從天這邊一閃,直照到天那邊,人子在他的日子也是這樣。 25 但他必須先受許多苦,被這個世代棄絕。 26 挪亞的時代怎樣,人子的時代也是怎樣。 27 當時人們吃喝嫁娶,直到挪亞進入方舟的那一天,洪水來了,把他們全都滅掉。 28 在羅得的時代也是這樣,人們吃喝買賣,耕種建造, 29 直到羅得離開所多瑪的那一天,火與硫磺從天上降下來,把他們全都滅掉。 30 人子顯現的日子也是這樣。 31 當那日,人在房頂上,器具在屋裡,不要下來拿;在田裡的,照樣不要回家。 32 應當記著羅得的妻子的教訓。 33 凡是想保全生命的,必喪掉生命;凡是犧牲生命的,卻必保全生命。 34 我告訴你們,當那夜,兩個人在一張床上,一個被接去,一個被撇下。 35 兩個女人一起推磨,一個被接去,一個被撇下。”(有些抄本有第36節:“兩個人在田裡,一個被接去,一個撇下來。”) 37 門徒問耶穌:“主啊,這些事會在哪裡發生呢?”主說:“屍首在哪裡,鷹也會聚集在哪裡。”

Sin, Forgiveness, Faith, and Service

17 And he said to his disciples, “It is impossible for causes for stumbling not to come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone[a] is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea than that he causes one of these little ones to sin.

“Be concerned about yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times he returns to you saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” So the Lord said, “If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

“And which of you who has a slave plowing or shepherding sheep[b] who comes in from the field will say to him, ‘Come here at once and[c] recline at the table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something that I may eat, and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and after these things you will eat and drink.’ He will not be grateful[d] to the slave because he did what was ordered, will he?[e] 10 Thus you also, when you have done all the things you were ordered to do,[f] say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done what we were obligated to do.’”

Ten Lepers Cleansed

11 And it happened that while traveling toward Jerusalem, he was passing through the region between[g] Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as[h] he was entering into a certain village, ten men met him[i][j]—lepers, who stood at a distance. 13 And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 And when he[k] saw them[l] he said to them, “Go and[m] show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed. 15 But one of them, when he[n] saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16 And he fell on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and[o] said, “Were not ten cleansed? And where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to turn back and[p] give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Get up and[q] go your way. Your faith has saved you.”

The Coming of the Kingdom of God

20 Now when he[r] 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 things that can be observed,[s] 21 nor will they say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

The Coming of the Son of Man

22 And he said to the disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.[t] 23 And they will say to you, ‘Behold, there!’ ‘Behold, here!’[u] Do not go out or run after them![v] 24 For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from one place under heaven to another place under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day. 25 But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation. 26 And just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man— 27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building. 29 But on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be just the same[w] on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, whoever is on the housetop and his goods are in the house must not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it[x] will keep it. 34 I tell you that in that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 There will be two women[y] grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.”[z]

37 And they answered and[aa] said to him, “Where, Lord?” So he said to them, “Where the dead body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.”

17 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Remember Lot's wife.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

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.”
