路加福音 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
恆心禱告
18 耶穌講了一個比喻來教導門徒要常常禱告，不要灰心。
2 祂說：「某城有一位既不敬畏上帝也不尊重人的審判官。 3 那城裡有一位寡婦常常來哀求這位審判官，說，『求你為我伸冤，懲辦我的對頭。』 4 審判官總是充耳不聞，但後來心裡想，『雖然我不怕上帝，也不在乎人， 5 可是這寡婦一直來煩我，還是替她伸冤好了，免得她再來煩我！』」
6 主接著說：「你們聽，這不義的審判官尚且這麼說， 7 難道上帝聽到祂揀選的人晝夜呼求，不替他們伸冤嗎？難道祂會一直耽延不理嗎？ 8 我告訴你們，祂必很快為他們伸冤。不過當人子來的時候，在世上找得到有信心的人嗎？」
兩種禱告
9 耶穌對那些自以為義、藐視別人的人講了一個比喻： 10 「有兩個人到聖殿裡禱告，一個是法利賽人，一個是稅吏。 11 法利賽人站在那裡自言自語地禱告說，『上帝啊！我感謝你，因為我不像別人那樣勒索、不義、通姦，也不像這稅吏。 12 我每週禁食兩次，奉獻全部收入的十分之一。』
13 「但那稅吏卻遠遠地站著，連頭也不敢抬起來，捶著胸說，『上帝啊，求你憐憫我這個罪人！』
14 「我告訴你們，二人回家後，被上帝算為義的是稅吏而不是法利賽人，因為自高的人必遭貶抑，謙卑的人必得尊榮。」
祝福孩子
15 有許多人把嬰孩帶來要讓耶穌摸一摸他們，為他們祝福，門徒看見，就責備這些人。 16 耶穌卻招呼他們過來，並對門徒說：「讓小孩子到我這裡來，不要阻止他們，因為上帝的國屬於這樣的人。 17 我實在告訴你們，人若不像小孩子一樣接受上帝的國，絕不能進去。」
富豪求問永生
18 一位官長問耶穌：「良善的老師，我該做什麼才能承受永生？」
19 耶穌說：「你為什麼稱呼我『良善的老師』呢？只有上帝是良善的。 20 你知道『不可通姦，不可殺人，不可偷盜，不可作偽證，要孝敬父母』這些誡命」。
21 那人說：「我從小就遵行這些誡命。」
22 耶穌聽了就對他說：「你還有一件事沒有做，就是變賣你所有的產業，分給窮人，你必有財寶存在天上，然後你還要來跟從我。」 23 那人聽了，極其憂愁，因為他非常富有。
24 耶穌見狀，就說；「有錢人進上帝的國真難啊！ 25 駱駝穿過針眼比有錢人進上帝的國還容易呢！」
26 聽見的人就問：「這樣，誰能得救呢？」
27 耶穌回答說：「對人而言，這不可能，但對上帝而言，凡事都可能。」
28 彼得說：「你看！我們已經撇下一切來跟從你了。」
29 耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，任何人為了上帝的國而撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或兒女， 30 今世必得百倍的獎賞，來世必得永生。」
再次預言受害和復活
31 耶穌把十二使徒帶到一邊，對他們說：「你們要留意，我們現在前往耶路撒冷，先知書上有關人子的記載都要應驗， 32 人子將被交在外族人的手裡，被他們嘲弄、虐待、吐唾沫、 33 鞭打和殺害，但第三天祂必復活。」 34 使徒卻一點也不明白，因為這番話的含意是隱藏的，他們聽不明白。
治癒耶利哥的瞎子
35 耶穌快到耶利哥城的時候，有一個瞎子坐在路旁討飯。 36 他聽見許多人經過，就詢問是怎麼回事。 37 有人告訴他是拿撒勒人耶穌經過此地， 38 他就高聲呼喊：「大衛的後裔耶穌啊，可憐我吧！」
39 走在前面的人責備他，讓他安靜，但他反而叫得更大聲：「大衛的後裔啊，可憐我吧！」
40 耶穌停下腳步，命人把他帶過來，然後問他： 41 「你要我為你做什麼？」
他說：「主啊！我想能夠看見。」
42 耶穌對他說：「你看見吧！你的信心救了你。」 43 他立刻得見光明，並跟隨耶穌，一路讚美上帝。目睹這事的人也都讚美上帝。

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
切求的寡妇和不义的官
18 耶稣设一个比喻，是要人常常祷告，不可灰心。 2 说：“某城里有一个官，不惧怕神，也不尊重世人。 3 那城里有个寡妇，常到他那里，说：‘我有一个对头，求你给我申冤。’ 4 他多日不准，后来心里说：‘我虽不惧怕神，也不尊重世人， 5 只因这寡妇烦扰我，我就给她申冤吧，免得她常来缠磨我。’” 6 主说：“你们听这不义之官所说的话。 7 神的选民昼夜呼吁他，他纵然为他们忍了多时，岂不终久给他们申冤吗？ 8 我告诉你们：要快快地给他们申冤了。然而，人子来的时候，遇得见世上有信德吗？”
法利赛人和税吏的祷告
9 耶稣向那些仗着自己是义人藐视别人的，设一个比喻， 10 说：“有两个人上殿里去祷告，一个是法利赛人，一个是税吏。 11 法利赛人站着，自言自语地祷告说：‘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，凡我所得的都捐上十分之一。’ 13 那税吏远远地站着，连举目望天也不敢，只捶着胸说：‘神啊，开恩可怜我这个罪人！’ 14 我告诉你们，这人回家去比那人倒算为义了。因为凡自高的，必降为卑；自卑的，必升为高。”
主接待小孩
15 有人抱着自己的婴孩来见耶稣，要他摸他们，门徒看见就责备那些人。 16 耶稣却叫他们来，说：“让小孩子到我这里来，不要禁止他们，因为在神国的正是这样的人。 17 我实在告诉你们：凡要承受神国的，若不像小孩子，断不能进去。”
当积财宝在天上
18 有一个官问耶稣说：“良善的夫子，我该做什么事才可以承受永生？” 19 耶稣对他说：“你为什么称我是良善的？除了神一位之外，再没有良善的。 20 诫命你是晓得的：不可奸淫，不可杀人，不可偷盗，不可作假见证，当孝敬父母。” 21 那人说：“这一切我从小都遵守了。” 22 耶稣听见了，就说：“你还缺少一件：要变卖你一切所有的，分给穷人，就必有财宝在天上；你还要来跟从我。” 23 他听见这话，就甚忧愁，因为他很富足。
贪财的难进天国
24 耶稣看见他，就说：“有钱财的人进神的国是何等地难哪！ 25 骆驼穿过针的眼，比财主进神的国还容易呢！” 26 听见的人说：“这样谁能得救呢？” 27 耶稣说：“在人所不能的事，在神却能。” 28 彼得说：“看哪，我们已经撇下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或是妻子、弟兄、父母、儿女， 30 没有在今世不得百倍，在来世不得永生的。”
主预言受难
31 耶稣带着十二个门徒，对他们说：“看哪，我们上耶路撒冷去，先知所写的一切事都要成就在人子身上。 32 他将要被交给外邦人，他们要戏弄他，凌辱他，吐唾沫在他脸上， 33 并要鞭打他，杀害他，第三日他要复活。” 34 这些事门徒一样也不懂得，意思乃是隐藏的，他们不晓得所说的是什么。
使耶利哥的瞎子看见
35 耶稣将近耶利哥的时候，有一个瞎子坐在路旁讨饭。 36 听见许多人经过，就问是什么事。 37 他们告诉他，是拿撒勒人耶稣经过。 38 他就呼叫说：“大卫的子孙耶稣啊，可怜我吧！” 39 在前头走的人就责备他，不许他作声，他却越发喊叫说：“大卫的子孙，可怜我吧！” 40 耶稣站住，吩咐把他领过来。到了跟前，就问他说： 41 “你要我为你做什么？”他说：“主啊，我要能看见！” 42 耶稣说：“你可以看见！你的信救了你了。” 43 瞎子立刻看见了，就跟随耶稣，一路归荣耀于神。众人看见这事，也赞美神。
Luke 18
New Century Version
God Will Answer His People
18 Then Jesus used this story to teach his followers that they should always pray and never lose hope. 2 “In a certain town there was a judge who did not respect God or care about people. 3 In that same town there was a widow who kept coming to this judge, saying, ‘Give me my rights against my enemy.’ 4 For a while the judge refused to help her. But afterwards, he thought to himself, ‘Even though I don’t respect God or care about people, 5 I will see that she gets her rights. Otherwise she will continue to bother me until I am worn out.’”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unfair judge said. 7 God will always give what is right to his people who cry to him night and day, and he will not be slow to answer them. 8 I tell you, God will help his people quickly. But when the Son of Man comes again, will he find those on earth who believe in him?”
Being Right with God
9 Jesus told this story to some people who thought they were very good and looked down on everyone else: 10 “A Pharisee and a tax collector both went to the Temple to pray. 11 The Pharisee stood alone and prayed, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people who steal, cheat, or take part in adultery, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast[a] twice a week, and I give one-tenth of everything I get!’
13 “The tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even look up to heaven. But he beat on his chest because he was so sad. He said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, when this man went home, he was right with God, but the Pharisee was not. All who make themselves great will be made humble, but all who make themselves humble will be made great.”
Who Will Enter God’s Kingdom?
15 Some people brought even their babies to Jesus so he could touch them. When the followers saw this, they told them to stop. 16 But Jesus called for the children, saying, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to people who are like these children. 17 I tell you the truth, you must accept the kingdom of God as if you were a child, or you will never enter it.”
A Rich Man’s Question
18 A certain leader asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what must I do to have life forever?”
19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good. 20 You know the commands: ‘You must not be guilty of adultery. You must not murder anyone. You must not steal. You must not tell lies about your neighbor. Honor your father and mother.’”[b]
21 But the leader said, “I have obeyed all these commands since I was a boy.”
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “There is still one more thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.” 23 But when the man heard this, he became very sad, because he was very rich.
24 Jesus looked at him and said, “It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God. 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Who Can Be Saved?
26 When the people heard this, they asked, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Jesus answered, “The things impossible for people are possible for God.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, all those who have left houses, wives, brothers, parents, or children for the kingdom of God 30 will get much more in this life. And in the age that is coming, they will have life forever.”
Jesus Will Rise from the Dead
31 Then Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said to them, “We are going to Jerusalem. Everything the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will happen. 32 He will be turned over to those who are evil. They will laugh at him, insult him, spit on him, 33 beat him with whips, and kill him. But on the third day, he will rise to life again.” 34 The apostles did not understand this; the meaning was hidden from them, and they did not realize what was said.
Jesus Heals a Blind Man
35 As Jesus came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging. 36 When he heard the people coming down the road, he asked, “What is happening?”
37 They told him, “Jesus, from Nazareth, is going by.”
38 The blind man cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 The people leading the group warned the blind man to be quiet. But the blind man shouted even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Jesus stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
He said, “Lord, I want to see.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Then see. You are healed because you believed.”
43 At once the man was able to see, and he followed Jesus, thanking God. All the people who saw this praised God.
