撒該悔改

19 耶穌進了耶利哥,正從城裡經過。 有個人名叫撒該,是稅吏長,家財豐厚。 他想看看耶穌,可是因為周圍人多,他身材矮小,無法看見。 他便跑到前面,爬上一棵桑樹觀看,因為耶穌會從那裡經過。

耶穌走到那裡,抬頭招呼他說:「撒該,快下來!今天我要住在你家。」

撒該連忙爬下來,興高采烈地帶耶穌回家。 百姓見狀,都埋怨說:「祂怎麼到一個罪人家裡作客?」

撒該站起來對主說:「主啊,我要把我一半的財產分給窮人。我欺騙過誰,就還誰四倍。」

耶穌說:「今天救恩臨到這家了,因為他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。 10 人子來是要尋找和拯救迷失的人。」

十個奴僕的比喻

11 眾人在聽的時候,耶穌又為他們講了一個比喻,因為祂快到耶路撒冷了,人們以為上帝的國馬上就要降臨了。

12 耶穌說:「有一位貴族要到遠方去受封為王,然後返回。 13 臨行前,他召集了十個奴僕,發給每人一千個銀幣,吩咐他們,『你們在我出門期間要用這些錢做生意。』

14 「可是他的人民卻憎恨他,他們隨後派一個代表團去請願說,『我們不要這人作我們的王。』

15 「那貴族受封為王回來後,召齊十個奴僕,想知道他們做生意賺了多少。 16 第一個奴僕上前稟告說,『主啊,我用你給我的一千個銀幣賺了一萬個銀幣。』

17 「主人說,『好,你真是個好奴僕!你既然在小事上忠心,就派你管理十座城。』

18 「第二個奴僕上前說,『主啊,我用你給我的一千個銀幣賺了五千個銀幣。』

19 「主人說,『我派你管理五座城。』

20 「另一個奴僕上前說,『主啊,這是你先前給我的一千個銀幣,我一直把它包在手帕裡。 21 因為你很嚴厲,沒有存還要取,沒有種還要收,所以我怕你。』

22 「主人聽了,對那奴僕說,『你這個惡奴僕!我要按你自己的話定你的罪。你既然知道我很嚴厲,沒有存還要取,沒有種還要收, 23 為什麼不把我的銀幣存進錢莊,到我回來時可以連本帶利收回來?』

24 「接著,他吩咐站在旁邊的奴僕,『收回他那一千個銀幣,賞給那個賺了一萬銀幣的。』

25 「他們說,『主啊,那個人已經有一萬銀幣了。』

26 「主人答道,『我告訴你們,凡有的,還要給他更多;凡沒有的,連他僅有的也要奪走。 27 至於那些反對我作王的仇敵,把他們捉回來,在我面前處決。』」

騎驢進耶路撒冷

28 耶穌說完這個比喻,就走在眾人前面上耶路撒冷去。

29 快到橄欖山附近的伯法其和伯大尼時,耶穌派了兩個門徒,說: 30 「你們去前面的村莊,進村的時候,必看見一頭從來沒有人騎過的驢駒拴在那裡,你們把牠解開牽來。 31 若有人問你們為什麼把牠解開,就說,『主要用牠。』」

32 兩個門徒出去後,所遇見的情形正如耶穌所說的。 33 當他們解開驢駒時,主人果然問他們:「你們為什麼解開驢駒?」

34 他們說:「主要用牠。」

35 他們牽著驢駒回去見耶穌,又把自己的外衣搭在驢背上,扶耶穌上驢。

36 耶穌騎著驢前行,眾人用外衣為祂鋪路。 37 祂正走下橄欖山,將近耶路撒冷的時候,眾門徒因為以往所見的神蹟奇事,就歡騰起來,高聲讚美上帝:

38 「奉主名來的王當受稱頌!
天上有平安,至高處有榮耀!」

39 百姓中有幾個法利賽人對耶穌說:「老師,你要責備你的門徒。」

40 耶穌說:「我告訴你們,如果他們閉口不言,這些石頭都要呼喊了!」

為耶路撒冷哀哭

41 耶穌快到耶路撒冷時,看見那城就哀哭, 42 說:「今天你若知道那能帶給你平安的事就好了!可惜這事現在是隱藏的,你看不見! 43 因為有一天敵人要在你周圍築起壁壘把你團團圍住,四面攻擊你。 44 他們要把你夷為平地,毀滅你城牆裡的兒女,不會留下兩塊疊在一起的石頭,因為你沒有認識到上帝眷顧你的時刻。」

耶穌潔淨聖殿

45 耶穌進入聖殿趕走裡面做買賣的人, 46 並對他們說:「聖經上說,『我的殿要成為禱告的殿』,你們竟把它變成了賊窩。」

47 祂天天在聖殿教導人,祭司長、律法教師和百姓的官長都想殺祂, 48 只是無從下手,因為百姓都十分喜愛聽祂講道。

19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

撒该悔改

19 耶稣进了耶利哥,要从那里经过。 有一个人名叫撒该,作税吏长,是个财主。 他要看看耶稣是怎样的人,只因人多,他的身材又矮,所以看不见。 于是他跑到前头,爬上桑树,要看耶稣,因为耶稣要从那里经过。 耶稣到了那里,抬头一看,对他说:“撒该,快下来!今天我必须住在你家里。” 他就急忙下来,欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣。 众人看见,都私下议论说:“他竟然到罪人家里去住宿。” 撒该站着对主说:“主啊,我把所有的一半给穷人;我若勒索了谁,就还他四倍。” 耶稣对他说:“今天救恩到了这家,因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。 10 人子来是要寻找和拯救失丧的人。”

十锭银子的比喻(A)

11 众人正听见这些话的时候,耶稣因为将近耶路撒冷,又因他们以为 神的国快要显现,就接着讲了一个比喻, 12 说:“有一个贵族往远方去,为要取得王位,然后回来。 13 他叫了自己的十个仆人来,交给他们十锭银子,说:‘你们去做生意,直到我回来。’ 14 他本国的百姓却恨他,打发使者随后去,说:‘我们不愿意这个人作我们的王。’ 15 他得了王位回来,就吩咐叫那领了银子的仆人来,要知道他们做生意赚了多少。 16 头一个上来,说:‘主啊,你的一锭银子已经赚了十锭。’ 17 主人对他说:‘好,我善良的仆人,你既在最小的事上忠心,你有权柄管十座城。’ 18 第二个来,说:‘主啊,你的一锭银子已经赚了五锭。’ 19 主人也对这个说:‘你管五座城。’ 20 又有一个来说:‘主啊!看哪,你的一锭银子在这里,我把它包在手巾里存着。 21 我向来怕你,因为你是严厉的人:没有放的,也要去拿;没有种的,也要去收。’ 22 主人对他说:‘你这恶仆,我要凭你的话定你的罪。你既知道我是严厉的人,没有放的也去拿,没有种的也去收, 23 为什么不把我的银子存在银行,等我来的时候,连本带利都取回来呢?’ 24 于是他对那些站在旁边的人说:‘把他这一锭夺过来,给那有十锭的。’ 25 他们对他说:‘主啊,他已经有十锭了。’ 26 主人说:‘我告诉你们,凡有的,还要给他;没有的,连他所有的也要夺过来。 27 至于我那些仇敌,不要我作他们王的,把他们拉来,在我面前杀了!’”

荣入圣城(B)

28 耶稣说完了这些话,就走在前面,上耶路撒冷去。 29 快到伯法其伯大尼,在名叫橄榄山的地方,他打发两个门徒, 30 说:“你们往对面村子里去,进去的时候会看见一匹驴驹拴在那里,是从来没有人骑过的,把它解开,牵来。 31 若有人问为什么解开它,你们就这样说:‘主要用它。’” 32 被打发的人去了,所遇见的正如耶稣对他们所说的。 33 他们解开驴驹的时候,主人问他们:“为什么解开驴驹?” 34 他们说:“主要用它。” 35 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,扶耶稣骑上。 36 他前进的时候,众人把衣服铺在路上。

37 他将近耶路撒冷,正下橄榄山的时候,一大群门徒因所见过的一切异能,都欢呼起来,大声赞美 神, 38 说:

“奉主名来的王[a]是应当称颂的!
在天上有和平;
在至高之处有荣光。”

39 人群中有几个法利赛人对耶稣说:“老师,责备你的门徒吧!” 40 耶稣回答:“我告诉你们,若是这些人闭口不说,石头也要呼叫起来。”

41 耶稣快到耶路撒冷,看见那城,就为它哀哭, 42 说:“但愿你在这日子知道有关你平安的事,不过这事现在是隐藏的,你的眼睛看不出来。 43 因为日子将到,你的仇敌要筑起土垒包围你,四面困住你, 44 并要消灭你和你里头的儿女,连一块石头也不留在另一块石头上,因为你不知道你蒙眷顾的时候。”

洁净圣殿(C)

45 耶稣一进圣殿就赶出在里面做买卖的人, 46 对他们说:“经上说:

‘我的殿是祷告的殿,
你们倒使它成为贼窝了。’”

47 耶稣天天在圣殿里教导人。祭司长、文士和百姓的领袖都想杀他, 48 但找不出方法来,因为百姓都侧耳听他。

  1. 19.38 有古卷没有“王”。

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

19 Jesus entered Jericho(A) and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.(C)

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”(D)

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,(E) “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything,(F) I will pay back four times the amount.”(G)

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.(H) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”(I)

The Parable of the Ten Minas(J)

11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God(K) was going to appear at once.(L) 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants(M) and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.

16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’

17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’(N) his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’(O)

18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’

19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’

20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’(P)

22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words,(Q) you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?(R) 23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’

24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.(S) 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(T)(U)

28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(V) 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany(W) at the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.(Y) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”

35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks(Z) on the road.

37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(AA) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b](AB)

“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(AC)

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(AD)

40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(AE)

41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(AF) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(AG) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(AH) They will not leave one stone on another,(AI) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(AJ) to you.”

Jesus at the Temple(AK)

45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’[c];(AL) but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d](AM)

47 Every day he was teaching at the temple.(AN) But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.(AO) 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
