路 加 福 音 19
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
撒该
19 耶稣进了耶利哥,从城里经过。 2 那里有一个叫撒该的税吏长,非常有钱。 3 他很想看看耶稣是怎样的一个人。可是,因为他身材矮小,所以人群总是挡着他的视线。 4 无奈,他只好跑到人们前头,在耶稣将要经过的那条路上,爬上了路边的一棵桑树,以便能够看到耶稣。耶稣走到那棵树下时,抬起头对撒该说: 5 “撒该,赶快下来吧,我今天要住在你家里。”
6 于是撒该赶紧从树上下来,满心欢喜地迎接耶稣的到来。 7 人们看到这个情景,就开始抱怨道∶“耶稣竟然到罪人家做客!”
8 撒该垂手直立在耶稣的面前,对主说∶“主啊,您看,我将把我财产的一半分给穷人,如果我骗取了谁的东西的话,我会多还给他四倍的东西。”
9 耶稣对他说∶“今天,拯救光顾了这所房子,因为这个人也是亚伯拉罕的儿子。 10 因为人子来到这里,是要寻找和挽救迷失的人们的。”
利用上帝赐给你的东西
11 人们正在听这些话时,耶稣继续给他们讲寓言,因为他已接近耶路撒冷了,而且也因为人们认为上帝王国马上就要来临了。 12 耶稣说∶“从前,一个贵族人要到很远的一个国家去领受封王的任命,然后回来统治他的子民。 13 临走之前,他叫来他仆人中的十个人,交给他们每个人一袋钱,说∶‘你们用这些钱去做买卖,直到我回来。’ 14 他的公民都非常恨他,他们便打发使者随后去说∶‘我们不要这个人做我们的王!’ 15 但是,他还是被封了王,并返回了家乡。他派人叫来了那几个拿着他的钱的仆人,想知道他们赚了多少利润。 16 第一个仆人走过来,说∶‘主人啊,我用您给我的那袋钱赚了十袋钱。’ 17 主人便对他说∶‘干得很好,我的好仆人,因为你在小事上能令人信赖,那么我要委派你掌管十座城。’ 18 第二个仆人过来说∶‘主人,我用你的钱赚了五袋的钱。’ 19 主人便对他说∶‘那么你来掌管五个城。’ 20 然后,第三个仆人过来说∶‘主人,这是你的钱,我用手帕把它包起来藏着。 21 我很害怕你,因为你是个苛刻的人。你掠夺别人挣来的钱,收获别人种好的庄稼。’ 22 主人对他说∶‘你这个恶仆,我要用你说的话来定你的罪。既然你说,你知道我是个苛刻的人,掠夺别人挣来的钱、收获别人种好的庄稼, 23 那么,你为什么不把我的钱存到银行里去呢?要是那样的话,我回来时还可以得到利息呢!’ 24 他对站在旁边的人说∶‘把他手里那袋钱拿过来,把它交给有十袋钱的那个仆人。’ 25 他们对他说∶‘主人,他已经有了十袋钱了!’ 26 主人回答道∶‘我告诉你们吧:那赢利的人将得到更多;没有赢利的人,甚至连他所有的一切也会被拿走。 27 但是,对我的敌人来说,既然他们不愿意让我做他们的王,就把他们都带来,在我面前把他们杀掉。’”
耶稣像王一样进入耶路撒冷
28 说完这些话后,耶稣继续向耶路撒冷走去。 29 当他们来到橄榄山附近的城镇伯法其和伯大尼时,耶稣派出两名门徒,对他们说: 30 “你们到前边的那个村子里去,一进村,你们就会看到一匹驴驹拴在那里,它从未被人骑过。你们解开缰绳,把它牵到我这里来。 31 如果有人问你们∶‘你们为什么要解开它的缰绳?’你们就说∶‘主需要它。’”
32 被派去的两个门徒去了,他们发现一切正如耶稣告诉他们的那样。 33 他们解驴驹时,它的主人们说∶“你们为什么解驴驹?”
34 他们答道∶“主需要它。” 35 然后他们把它牵到了耶稣面前,他们把自己的衣服铺在驴驹的背上,又把耶稣扶了上去。 36 耶稣骑驴朝耶路撒冷走时,人们把衣服铺在路上。
37 耶稣向耶路撒冷走近,他已到橄榄山下坡附近,门徒们都因为他们所看到的奇迹,兴高采烈地高声赞美着上帝。
38 他们说:
“愿奉主的名义而来的君王得到祝福!
愿天上和平,愿荣耀属于至高无上的上帝!”
39 人群中有一些法利赛人却对耶稣说∶“老师,吩咐你的门徒们不要说这些话吧!”
40 可耶稣却回答说∶“我告诉你们吧,如果他们不作声,这些石头都会喊叫起来!”
耶稣为耶路撒冷而落泪
41 耶稣他们走近了耶路撒冷城,他看到此城,就为它痛哭起来, 42 他说∶“但愿今天你们知道什么将给你们带来和平,但是现在,它却向你们隐藏着。 43 那些日子将要降临到你们身上,你的敌人会在你的周围筑起壁障,他们将把你包围起来,从四面八方围困你, 44 他们会消灭城里的你和你们所有的人,将你的城池夷为平地,这是因为你们不曾认出上帝的时代来到了你们的身边。”
耶稣去大殿。
45 耶稣走进大殿院里把在那里做买卖的人都赶了出来, 46 对他们说∶“《经》上记载着∶‘我的大殿将是祷告的大殿。’ [a]可是你们却把它变成贼窝了!” [b]
47 耶稣每天在大殿院里教导人们。祭司长、律法师和人们的首领都在设法要杀害他, 48 可是他们找不到杀害他的办法来,因为所有的百姓都听耶稣的话。

Luke 19
King James Version
19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 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.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 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.
9 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.
Luke 19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Jesus and Zacchaeus
19 He entered Jericho and was passing through it.(A) 2 A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way.(B) 5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. 7 All who saw it began to grumble and said, “He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.”(C) 8 Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.”(D) 9 Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.(E) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.”
The Parable of the Ten Pounds
11 As they were listening to this, he went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.(F) 12 So he said, “A nobleman went to a distant region to receive royal power for himself and then return.(G) 13 He summoned ten of his slaves and gave them ten pounds and said to them, ‘Do business with these until I come back.’ 14 But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’ 15 When he returned, having received royal power, he ordered these slaves to whom he had given the money to be summoned so that he might find out what they had gained by doing business. 16 The first came forward and said, ‘Lord, your pound has made ten more pounds.’ 17 He said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.’(H) 18 Then the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your pound has made five pounds.’ 19 He said to him, ‘And you, rule over five cities.’ 20 Then the other came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your pound. I wrapped it up in a piece of cloth, 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’(I) 22 He said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! You knew, did you, that I was a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?(J) 23 Why, then, did you not put my money into the bank? Then when I returned, I could have collected it with interest.’ 24 He said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound from him and give it to the one who has ten pounds.’ 25 (And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds!’) 26 ‘I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given, but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.(K) 27 But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.’ ”
Jesus’s Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
28 After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(L)
29 When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’ ” 32 So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them.(M) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They said, “The Lord needs it.” 35 Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road.(N) 37 Now as he was approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, 38 saying,
“Blessed is the king
who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven,
and glory in the highest heaven!”(O)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.”(P) 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”(Q)
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it,(R) 42 saying, “If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 Indeed, the days will come upon you when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you and hem you in on every side.(S) 44 They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”[a](T)
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45 Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things[b] there, 46 and he said, “It is written,
‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’
but you have made it a den of robbers.”(U)
47 Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him,(V) 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.
