路加福音 18
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
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。 2 他说:“某城里有一个法官,不惧怕 神,也不尊敬人。 3 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!’ 4 他多次不肯,后来心里说:‘我虽然不惧怕 神,也不尊敬人, 5 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。’” 6 主说:“你们听听这不义的法官所说的话吧。 7 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? 8 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
9 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。

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
New Life Version
The Picture-Story of the Woman Whose Husband Had Died
18 Jesus told them a picture-story to show that men should always pray and not give up. 2 He said, “There was a man in one of the cities who was head of the court. His work was to say if a person was guilty or not. This man was not afraid of God. He did not respect any man. 3 In that city there was a woman whose husband had died. She kept coming to him and saying, ‘Help me! There is someone who is working against me.’ 4 For awhile he would not help her. Then he began to think, ‘I am not afraid of God and I do not respect any man. 5 But I will see that this woman whose husband has died gets her rights because I get tired of her coming all the time.’” 6 Then the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the sinful man who is head of the court. 7 Will not God make the things that are right come to His chosen people who cry day and night to Him? Will He wait a long time to help them? 8 I tell you, He will be quick to help them. But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
The Picture-Story of the Proud Religious Law-Keepers and the Tax-Gatherers
9 Jesus told another picture-story to some people who trusted in themselves and thought they were right with God. These people did not think well of other men. 10 Jesus said, “Two men went up to the house of God to pray. One of them was a proud religious law-keeper. The other was a man who gathered taxes. 11 The proud religious law-keeper stood and prayed to himself like this, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men. I am not like those who steal. I am not like those who do things that are wrong. I am not like those who do sex sins. I am not even like this tax-gatherer. 12 I go without food two times a week so I can pray better. I give one-tenth part of the money I earn.’ 13 But the man who gathered taxes stood a long way off. He would not even lift his eyes to heaven. But he hit himself on his chest and said, ‘God, have pity on me! I am a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went back to his house forgiven, and not the other man. For whoever makes himself look more important than he is will find out how little he is worth. Whoever does not try to honor himself will be made important.”
Jesus Gives Thanks for Little Children (A)
15 People took their little children to Jesus so He could put His hand on them. When His followers saw it, they spoke sharp words to the people. 16 Jesus called the followers to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me. Do not try to stop them. The holy nation of God is made up of ones like these. 17 For sure, I tell you, whoever does not receive the holy nation of God as a child will not go into the holy nation.”
Jesus Teaches about Keeping the Law (B)
18 A leader of the people asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what must I do to have life that lasts forever?” 19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? There is only One Who is good. That is God. 20 You know the Laws. You must not do any sex sins. You must not kill another person. You must not steal. You must not tell a lie about someone else. Respect your father and your mother.” 21 The leader said, “I have obeyed all these Laws since I was a boy.”
22 When Jesus heard this, He said to the leader of the people, “There is still one thing you need to do. Sell everything you have. Give the money to poor people. Then you will have riches in heaven. Come and follow Me.” 23 When the leader heard this, he was very sad because he had many riches. 24 When Jesus saw that he was very sad, He said, “It is hard for those with riches to go into the holy nation of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the holy nation of God.”
26 Those who heard this, said, “Then who can be saved from the punishment of sin?” 27 Jesus said, “God can do things men cannot do.” 28 Then Peter said, “See, we have left everything and have followed You.” 29 Jesus said to them, “For sure, I tell you, anyone who has left his house or parents or brothers or wife or children because of the holy nation of God 30 will receive much more now. In the time to come he will have life that lasts forever.”
Jesus Tells of His Death the Third Time (C)
31 Then Jesus took the twelve followers to one side and said, “See! We are going up to Jerusalem. All the things the early preachers wrote about the Son of Man are going to happen. 32 He will be given over to the people who are not Jews. He will be made fun of. He will be hurt. He will be spit on. 33 They will beat Him and kill Him. After three days He will be raised again.”
34 The followers did not understand these words. The meaning of these words was hidden from them. They did not know what He said.
Healing of the Blind Man (D)
35 Jesus was coming near Jericho. A blind man was sitting by the side of the road, begging. 36 He heard many people going by and asked what was happening. 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was going by. 38 Then he cried out and said, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me.” 39 The people spoke sharp words to him and told him not to call out. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me.”
40 Jesus stopped and told the people to bring the blind man to Him. When the man was near, Jesus asked, 41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” He answered, “Lord, I want to see.” 42 Jesus said to him, “Then see! Your faith has healed you.” 43 At once he could see. He followed Jesus and gave thanks to God. All the people gave thanks to God when they saw it.
