寡妇与法官的比喻

18 耶稣对他们讲一个比喻,论到人必须常常祈祷,不可灰心。 他说:“某城里有一个法官,不惧怕 神,也不尊敬人。 那城里有一个寡妇,常常来到他那里,说:‘求你给我伸冤,使我脱离我的对头!’ 他多次不肯,后来心里说:‘我虽然不惧怕 神,也不尊敬人, 只是因为这寡妇常常来麻烦我,就给她伸冤吧,免得她不断地来缠扰我。’” 主说:“你们听听这不义的法官所说的话吧。 难道 神不会为昼夜呼吁他的选民伸冤吗?难道 神会耽误他们吗? 我告诉你们,他要快快地给他们伸冤。然而人子来的时候,在世上找得到这种信心吗?”

税吏和法利赛人的祷告

耶稣向那些自恃为义、轻视别人的人,讲了这个比喻: 10 “有两个人上圣殿去祈祷,一个是法利赛人,一个是税吏。 11 法利赛人站着,祷告给自己听,这样说:‘ 神啊,我感谢你,我不像别人,勒索、不义、奸淫,也不像这个税吏。 12 我一个礼拜禁食两次,我的一切收入都奉献十分之一。’ 13 税吏却远远站着,连举目望天也不敢,只捶着胸说:‘ 神啊,可怜我这个罪人!’ 14 我告诉你们,这个人回家去,比那个倒算为义了。因为高抬自己的,必要降卑;自己谦卑的,必要升高。”

让小孩子到我这里来(A)

15 有人抱着婴孩到耶稣面前,要他触摸他们。门徒看见了,就责备那些人。 16 耶稣却叫他们过来,说:“让小孩子到我这里来,不要禁止他们,因为 神的国正属于这样的人。 17 我实在告诉你们,凡不像小孩子一样接受 神的国的,决不能进去。”

有钱的人难进 神的国(B)

18 有一个官长问耶稣:“良善的老师,我当作甚么,才可以承受永生?” 19 耶稣对他说:“你为甚么称我是良善的呢?除了 神一位以外,没有良善的。 20 诫命你是知道的:不可奸淫,不可杀人,不可偷盗,不可作假见证,当孝敬父母。” 21 他说:“这一切我从小都遵守了。” 22 耶稣听了,就告诉他:“你还缺少一件,应当变卖你一切所有的,分给穷人,你就必定有财宝在天上,而且你还要来跟从我。” 23 他听见这话,非常忧愁,因为他十分富有。

24 耶稣见他这样,就说:“富有的人要进 神的国,是多么难哪! 25 骆驼穿过针眼,比有钱的人进 神的国还容易呢。” 26 听见的人说:“这样,谁可以得救呢?” 27 耶稣说:“人所不能的,在 神却是可能的。” 28 彼得说:“你看,我们已舍弃自己所有的,跟从你了!” 29 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,人为 神的国撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或儿女, 30 没有不在今世得许多倍,来世得永生的。”

第三次预言受难及复活(C)

31 耶稣把十二门徒带到一边,对他们说:“我们现在上耶路撒冷去,先知所写的一切,都要成就在人子身上。 32 他要被交给外族人,受戏弄,被凌辱,他们要向他吐唾沫, 33 鞭打他,杀害他;第三日他要复活。” 34 这些话的含义对门徒是隐藏的。他们听了,一点也不明白,不知道他说的是甚么。

治好瞎眼的人(D)

35 耶稣走近耶利哥的时候,有一个瞎眼的人坐在路旁讨饭, 36 他听见人群经过,就问是甚么事。 37 别人告诉他,是拿撒勒人耶稣经过。 38 他就喊叫说:“大卫的子孙耶稣啊,可怜我吧!” 39 在前头走的人责备他,叫他不要出声;但他越发喊叫:“大卫的子孙,可怜我吧!” 40 耶稣站住,吩咐领他过来。等他走近,就问他: 41 “你要我为你作甚么?”他说:“主啊,叫我能看见!” 42 耶稣说:“你就看见吧!你的信使你痊愈了。” 43 他立刻看见了,就跟随耶稣,颂赞 神。众人看见这事,也赞美 神。

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

18 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men (A)always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor [a]regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, [b]‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, (B)yet because this widow troubles me I will [c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”

Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And (C)shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you (D)that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

Also He spoke this parable to some (E)who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee (F)stood and prayed thus with himself, (G)‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat 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; (H)for everyone who exalts himself will be [d]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Jesus Blesses Little Children(I)

15 (J)Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for (K)of such is the kingdom of God. 17 (L)Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler(M)

18 (N)Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but (O)One, that is, God. 20 You know the commandments: (P)‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ (Q)‘Honor your father and your mother.’

21 And he said, “All (R)these things I have kept from my youth.”

22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. (S)Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

With God All Things Are Possible(T)

24 And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, (U)“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 And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”

27 But He said, (V)“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

28 (W)Then Peter said, “See, we have left [e]all and followed You.”

29 So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, (X)there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 (Y)who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection(Z)

31 (AA)Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things (AB)that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be [f]accomplished. 32 For (AC)He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33 They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”

34 (AD)But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.

A Blind Man Receives His Sight(AE)

35 (AF)Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, (AG)Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, 41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

42 Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; (AH)your faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, (AI)glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Притча за съдията и вдовицата

18 Иисус им показа с притча, че трябва винаги да се молят и да не падат духом, (A)като рече: „В един град имаше съдия, който нито от Бога се боеше, нито от човек се срамуваше. В същия град имаше една вдовица. Тя все идваше при него и казваше: ‘Защити ме от моя противник!’ Той дълго време не искаше, но после си рече: ‘Макар и от Бога да не се боя, и от човек да не се срамувам, понеже тази вдовица ми досажда, ще я защитя. Иначе постоянно ще идва да ме безпокои’.“ Тогава Господ рече: „Чуйте какво казва този неправеден съдия! А нима Бог ще се забави да защити избраниците Си, които викат към Него денем и нощем? Казвам ви, ще ги защити много скоро! Но когато дойде Синът човешки, ще намери ли вяра на земята?“

Притча за митаря и фарисея

На онези пък, които бяха уверени в себе си, че са праведни, и презираха другите, каза следната притча: 10 „Двама човека влязоха в храма да се помолят: единият фарисей, а другият митар. 11 Фарисеят застана и се молеше така в себе си: ‘Боже, благодаря Ти, че не съм като другите хора – грабители, неправедници, прелюбодейци, или като този митар, 12 (B)постя два пъти в седмицата, давам десятък от всичко, което придобивам.’ 13 А митарят стоеше назад. Той не смееше дори да повдигне очи към небето, а се удряше в гърдите и казваше: ‘Боже, бъди милостив към мене, грешника!’ 14 (C)Казвам ви, че този си отиде у дома оправдан повече, отколкото онзи. Защото всеки, който превъзнася себе си, ще бъде унизен, а който се смирява, ще бъди въздигнат.“

Иисус Христос благославя децата

15 (D)Донасяха при Него и деца, за да положи ръка върху тях. Но учениците, като видяха това, ги възпираха. 16 Тогава Иисус повика децата и рече: „Оставете децата да идват при Мене и не им пречете. Защото на такива е Божието царство. 17 Истината ви казвам: който не приеме Божието царство като дете, няма да влезе в него.“

За опасностите от богатството

18 (E)(F)Някакъв началник Го попита: „Учителю благ, какво да извърша, за да наследя вечен живот?“ 19 Иисус му рече: „Защо ме наричаш благ? Никой не е благ освен един Бог. 20 (G)Знаеш заповедите: не прелюбодействай, не убивай, не кради, не свидетелствай лъжливо, почитай баща си и майка си.“ 21 А той отговори: „Всичко това съм спазвал от младини.“ 22 (H)Като чу това, Иисус му каза: „Още едно не ти достига. Всичко, което имаш, продай и раздай на сиромаси, и ще имаш съкровище на небето. Тогава ела и върви след Мене.“ 23 А той, като чу това, натъжи се, защото беше твърде богат.

24 Като видя, че той се натъжи, Иисус рече: „Колко мъчно ще влязат в Божието царство онези, които имат богатство! 25 Защото по-лесно е камила да мине през иглени уши, отколкото богат да влезе в Божието царство.“ 26 Като чуха това, рекоха: „А кой може да се спаси?“ 27 Иисус отговори: „Невъзможното за хората е възможно за Бога.“

28 Тогава Петър каза: „Ето ние оставихме всичко и Те последвахме.“ 29 (I)А Той им рече: „Истината ви казвам: няма никой, който е оставил къща, родители, братя, сестри, жена или деца заради Божието царство 30 и да не получи много повече в днешно време, а в идващия век – вечен живот.“

Трето предсказание за страданията и възкресението

31 (J)(K)И като повика при Себе Си дванадесетте ученици, Иисус им рече: „Ето отиваме в Йерусалим и ще се изпълни всичко, писано чрез пророците за Сина човешки. 32 (L)Защото ще Го предадат на езичниците, ще Го поругаят, ще Го оскърбят и оплюят, 33 ще Го бичуват и убият. И на третия ден ще възкръсне.“ 34 Но от това те нищо не разбраха. Тези думи бяха неясни за тях и те не знаеха за какво им говори.

Излекуване на слепия в Йерихон

35 (M)Когато Иисус се приближаваше към Йерихон, един слепец седеше край пътя и просеше. 36 И като чу да минава край него народ, той попита какво е това. 37 Казаха му, че Иисус от Назарет минава. 38 Тогава той извика: „Иисусе, Сине Давидов, смили се над мене!“ 39 Тези, които вървяха напред, го смъмриха да мълчи, но той още по-силно завика: „Сине Давидов, смили се над мене!“ 40 Иисус се спря и заповяда да го доведат при Него. А когато онзи се приближи до Него, го попита: 41 „Какво искаш да сторя за тебе?“ Той отвърна: „Господи, да прогледна.“ 42 (N)Иисус му рече: „Прогледни! Твоята вяра те спаси.“ 43 И той веднага прогледна и тръгна след Него, славейки Бога. И целият народ, като видя това, отдаде възхвала на Бога.

The Story of the Persistent Widow

18 1-3 Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit. He said, “There was once a judge in some city who never gave God a thought and cared nothing for people. A widow in that city kept after him: ‘My rights are being violated. Protect me!’

4-5 “He never gave her the time of day. But after this went on and on he said to himself, ‘I care nothing what God thinks, even less what people think. But because this widow won’t quit badgering me, I’d better do something and see that she gets justice—otherwise I’m going to end up beaten black-and-blue by her pounding.’”

6-8 Then the Master said, “Do you hear what that judge, corrupt as he is, is saying? So what makes you think God won’t step in and work justice for his chosen people, who continue to cry out for help? Won’t he stick up for them? I assure you, he will. He will not drag his feet. But how much of that kind of persistent faith will the Son of Man find on the earth when he returns?”

The Story of the Tax Man and the Pharisee

9-12 He told his next story to some who were complacently pleased with themselves over their moral performance and looked down their noses at the common people: “Two men went up to the Temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax man. The Pharisee posed and prayed like this: ‘Oh, God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, crooks, adulterers, or, heaven forbid, like this tax man. I fast twice a week and tithe on all my income.’

13 “Meanwhile the tax man, slumped in the shadows, his face in his hands, not daring to look up, said, ‘God, give mercy. Forgive me, a sinner.’”

14 Jesus commented, “This tax man, not the other, went home made right with God. If you walk around with your nose in the air, you’re going to end up flat on your face, but if you’re content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself.”

* * *

15-17 People brought babies to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. When the disciples saw it, they shooed them off. Jesus called them back. “Let these children alone. Don’t get between them and me. These children are the kingdom’s pride and joy. Mark this: Unless you accept God’s kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.”

The Rich Official

18 One day one of the local officials asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to deserve eternal life?”

19-20 Jesus said, “Why are you calling me good? No one is good—only God. You know the commandments, don’t you? No illicit sex, no killing, no stealing, no lying, honor your father and mother.”

21 He said, “I’ve kept them all for as long as I can remember.”

22 When Jesus heard that, he said, “Then there’s only one thing left to do: Sell everything you own and give it away to the poor. You will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

23 This was the last thing the official expected to hear. He was very rich and became terribly sad. He was holding on tight to a lot of things and not about to let them go.

24-25 Seeing his reaction, Jesus said, “Do you have any idea how difficult it is for people who have it all to enter God’s kingdom? I’d say it’s easier to thread a camel through a needle’s eye than get a rich person into God’s kingdom.”

26 “Then who has any chance at all?” the others asked.

27 “No chance at all,” Jesus said, “if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it.”

28 Peter tried to regain some initiative: “We left everything we owned and followed you, didn’t we?”

29-30 “Yes,” said Jesus, “and you won’t regret it. No one who has sacrificed home, spouse, brothers and sisters, parents, children—whatever—will lose out. It will all come back multiplied many times over in your lifetime. And then the bonus of eternal life!”

I Want to See Again

31-34 Then Jesus took the Twelve off to the side and said, “Listen carefully. We’re on our way up to Jerusalem. Everything written in the Prophets about the Son of Man will take place. He will be handed over to the Romans, jeered at, ridiculed, and spit on. Then, after giving him the third degree, they will kill him. In three days he will rise, alive.” But they didn’t get it, could make neither heads nor tails of what he was talking about.

35-37 He came to the outskirts of Jericho. A blind man was sitting beside the road asking for handouts. When he heard the rustle of the crowd, he asked what was going on. They told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is going by.”

38 He yelled, “Jesus! Son of David! Mercy, have mercy on me!”

39 Those ahead of Jesus told the man to shut up, but he only yelled all the louder, “Son of David! Mercy, have mercy on me!”

40 Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought over. When he had come near, Jesus asked, “What do you want from me?”

41 He said, “Master, I want to see again.”

42-43 Jesus said, “Go ahead—see again! Your faith has saved and healed you!” The healing was instant: He looked up, seeing—and then followed Jesus, glorifying God. Everyone in the street joined in, shouting praise to God.
