路加福音 18
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
寡婦與法官的比喻
18 耶穌對他們講一個比喻,論到人必須常常祈禱,不可灰心。 2 他說:“某城裡有一個法官,不懼怕 神,也不尊敬人。 3 那城裡有一個寡婦,常常來到他那裡,說:‘求你給我伸冤,使我脫離我的對頭!’ 4 他多次不肯,後來心裡說:‘我雖然不懼怕 神,也不尊敬人, 5 只是因為這寡婦常常來麻煩我,就給她伸冤吧,免得她不斷地來纏擾我。’” 6 主說:“你們聽聽這不義的法官所說的話吧。 7 難道 神不會為晝夜呼籲他的選民伸冤嗎?難道 神會耽誤他們嗎? 8 我告訴你們,他要快快地給他們伸冤。然而人子來的時候,在世上找得到這種信心嗎?”
稅吏和法利賽人的禱告
9 耶穌向那些自恃為義、輕視別人的人,講了這個比喻: 10 “有兩個人上聖殿去祈禱,一個是法利賽人,一個是稅吏。 11 法利賽人站著,禱告給自己聽,這樣說:‘ 神啊,我感謝你,我不像別人,勒索、不義、姦淫,也不像這個稅吏。 12 我一個禮拜禁食兩次,我的一切收入都奉獻十分之一。’ 13 稅吏卻遠遠站著,連舉目望天也不敢,只捶著胸說:‘ 神啊,可憐我這個罪人!’ 14 我告訴你們,這個人回家去,比那個倒算為義了。因為高抬自己的,必要降卑;自己謙卑的,必要升高。”
讓小孩子到我這裡來(A)
15 有人抱著嬰孩到耶穌面前,要他觸摸他們。門徒看見了,就責備那些人。 16 耶穌卻叫他們過來,說:“讓小孩子到我這裡來,不要禁止他們,因為 神的國正屬於這樣的人。 17 我實在告訴你們,凡不像小孩子一樣接受 神的國的,決不能進去。”
有錢的人難進 神的國(B)
18 有一個官長問耶穌:“良善的老師,我當作甚麼,才可以承受永生?” 19 耶穌對他說:“你為甚麼稱我是良善的呢?除了 神一位以外,沒有良善的。 20 誡命你是知道的:不可姦淫,不可殺人,不可偷盜,不可作假見證,當孝敬父母。” 21 他說:“這一切我從小都遵守了。” 22 耶穌聽了,就告訴他:“你還缺少一件,應當變賣你一切所有的,分給窮人,你就必定有財寶在天上,而且你還要來跟從我。” 23 他聽見這話,非常憂愁,因為他十分富有。
24 耶穌見他這樣,就說:“富有的人要進 神的國,是多麼難哪! 25 駱駝穿過針眼,比有錢的人進 神的國還容易呢。” 26 聽見的人說:“這樣,誰可以得救呢?” 27 耶穌說:“人所不能的,在 神卻是可能的。” 28 彼得說:“你看,我們已捨棄自己所有的,跟從你了!” 29 耶穌說:“我實在告訴你們,人為 神的國撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或兒女, 30 沒有不在今世得許多倍,來世得永生的。”
第三次預言受難及復活(C)
31 耶穌把十二門徒帶到一邊,對他們說:“我們現在上耶路撒冷去,先知所寫的一切,都要成就在人子身上。 32 他要被交給外族人,受戲弄,被凌辱,他們要向他吐唾沫, 33 鞭打他,殺害他;第三日他要復活。” 34 這些話的含義對門徒是隱藏的。他們聽了,一點也不明白,不知道他說的是甚麼。
治好瞎眼的人(D)
35 耶穌走近耶利哥的時候,有一個瞎眼的人坐在路旁討飯, 36 他聽見人群經過,就問是甚麼事。 37 別人告訴他,是拿撒勒人耶穌經過。 38 他就喊叫說:“大衛的子孫耶穌啊,可憐我吧!” 39 在前頭走的人責備他,叫他不要出聲;但他越發喊叫:“大衛的子孫,可憐我吧!” 40 耶穌站住,吩咐領他過來。等他走近,就問他: 41 “你要我為你作甚麼?”他說:“主啊,叫我能看見!” 42 耶穌說:“你就看見吧!你的信使你痊愈了。” 43 他立刻看見了,就跟隨耶穌,頌讚 神。眾人看見這事,也讚美 神。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
恒心祷告
18 耶稣讲了一个比喻来教导门徒要常常祷告,不要灰心。
2 祂说:“某城有一位既不敬畏上帝也不尊重人的审判官。 3 那城里有一位寡妇常常来哀求这位审判官,说,‘求你为我申冤,惩办我的对头。’ 4 审判官总是充耳不闻,但后来心里想,‘虽然我不怕上帝,也不在乎人, 5 可是这寡妇一直来烦我,还是替她申冤好了,免得她再来烦我!’”
6 主接着说:“你们听,这不义的审判官尚且这么说, 7 难道上帝听到祂拣选的人昼夜呼求,不替他们申冤吗?难道祂会一直耽延不理吗? 8 我告诉你们,祂必很快为他们申冤。不过当人子来的时候,在世上找得到有信心的人吗?”
两种祷告
9 耶稣对那些自以为义、藐视别人的人讲了一个比喻: 10 “有两个人到圣殿里祷告,一个是法利赛人,一个是税吏。 11 法利赛人站在那里自言自语地祷告说,‘上帝啊!我感谢你,因为我不像别人那样勒索、不义、通奸,也不像这税吏。 12 我每周禁食两次,奉献全部收入的十分之一。’
13 “但那税吏却远远地站着,连头也不敢抬起来,捶着胸说,‘上帝啊,求你怜悯我这个罪人!’
14 “我告诉你们,二人回家后,被上帝算为义的是税吏而不是法利赛人,因为自高的人必遭贬抑,谦卑的人必得尊荣。”
祝福孩子
15 有许多人把婴孩带来要让耶稣摸一摸他们,为他们祝福,门徒看见,就责备这些人。 16 耶稣却招呼他们过来,并对门徒说:“让小孩子到我这里来,不要阻止他们,因为上帝的国属于这样的人。 17 我实在告诉你们,人若不像小孩子一样接受上帝的国,绝不能进去。”
富豪求问永生
18 一位官长问耶稣:“良善的老师,我该做什么才能承受永生?”
19 耶稣说:“你为什么称呼我‘良善的老师’呢?只有上帝是良善的。 20 你知道‘不可通奸,不可杀人,不可偷盗,不可作伪证,要孝敬父母’这些诫命”。
21 那人说:“我从小就遵行这些诫命。”
22 耶稣听了就对他说:“你还有一件事没有做,就是变卖你所有的产业,分给穷人,你必有财宝存在天上,然后你还要来跟从我。” 23 那人听了,极其忧愁,因为他非常富有。
24 耶稣见状,就说;“有钱人进上帝的国真难啊! 25 骆驼穿过针眼比有钱人进上帝的国还容易呢!”
26 听见的人就问:“这样,谁能得救呢?”
27 耶稣回答说:“对人而言,这不可能,但对上帝而言,凡事都可能。”
28 彼得说:“你看!我们已经撇下一切来跟从你了。”
29 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,任何人为了上帝的国而撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或儿女, 30 今世必得百倍的奖赏,来世必得永生。”
再次预言受害和复活
31 耶稣把十二使徒带到一边,对他们说:“你们要留意,我们现在前往耶路撒冷,先知书上有关人子的记载都要应验, 32 人子将被交在外族人的手里,被他们嘲弄、虐待、吐唾沫、 33 鞭打和杀害,但第三天祂必复活。” 34 使徒却一点也不明白,因为这番话的含意是隐藏的,他们听不明白。
治愈耶利哥的瞎子
35 耶稣快到耶利哥的时候,有一个瞎子坐在路旁讨饭。 36 他听见许多人经过,就询问是怎么回事。 37 有人告诉他是拿撒勒人耶稣经过此地, 38 他就高声呼喊:“大卫的后裔耶稣啊,可怜我吧!”
39 走在前面的人责备他,让他安静,但他反而叫得更大声:“大卫的后裔啊,可怜我吧!”
40 耶稣停下脚步,命人把他带过来,然后问他: 41 “你要我为你做什么?”
他说:“主啊!我想能够看见。”
42 耶稣对他说:“你看见吧!你的信心救了你。” 43 他立刻得见光明,并跟随耶稣,一路赞美上帝。目睹这事的人也都赞美上帝。
Luke 18
Modern English Version
The Parable of the Widow and the Judge
18 He told them a parable to illustrate that it is necessary always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said: “In a city there was a judge who did not fear God or regard man. 3 And a widow was in that city. She came to him, saying, ‘Avenge me against my adversary.’
4 “He would not for a while. Yet afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I do not fear God or respect man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she will weary me.’ ”
6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge says. 7 And shall not God avenge His own elect and be patient with them, who cry day and night to Him? 8 I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves, as though they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things about himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men: extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week, and I tithe of all that I earn.’
13 “But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but struck his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
14 “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Little Children Blessed(A)
15 They also brought infants to Him that He might touch them. When the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not hinder them. For to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17 Truly, I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will in no wise enter it.”
The Rich Ruler(B)
18 A certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.[a]”
21 He said, “All these I have kept since my youth.”
22 When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “Yet you lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”
23 When he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. 24 When Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Those who heard this said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 He said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”
29 He said to them, “Truly, I tell you, there is no man who has left his home or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who shall not receive many times more in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life.”
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection a Third Time(C)
31 Taking the twelve, He said, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished, 32 for He will be handed over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33 They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was spoken.
The Healing of a Blind Beggar Near Jericho(D)
35 As He was drawing near Jericho, a certain blind man sat along the way begging. 36 Hearing a crowd passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Those who went in front rebuked him, so that he would keep quiet. But he cried out much more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to Him. When he came near, He asked him, 41 “What do you want Me to do for you?”
He said, “Lord, grant that I may receive my sight.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.” 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Him, glorifying God. When all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.

Luke 18
King James Version
18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
Luke 18
New International Version
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.(A) 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice(B) against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”(C)
6 And the Lord(D) said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out(E) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man(F) comes,(G) will he find faith on the earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness(H) and looked down on everyone else,(I) Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray,(J) one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself(K) and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast(L) twice a week and give a tenth(M) of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast(N) and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’(O)
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(P)
The Little Children and Jesus(Q)
15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child(R) will never enter it.”
The Rich and the Kingdom of God(S)
18 A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(T)
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[a]”(U)
21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.”
23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!(X) 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”(Y)
28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”(Z)
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come(AA) eternal life.”(AB)
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(AC)
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem,(AD) and everything that is written by the prophets(AE) about the Son of Man(AF) will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles.(AG) They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him(AH) and kill him.(AI) On the third day(AJ) he will rise again.”(AK)
34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.(AL)
A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight(AM)
35 As Jesus approached Jericho,(AN) a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”(AO)
38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David,(AP) have mercy(AQ) on me!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”(AR)
40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”(AS) 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.(AT)
