路加福音 19
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稅吏長撒該
19 耶穌進了耶利哥,正經過的時候, 2 有一個人名叫撒該,是稅吏長,又很富有。 3 他想看看耶穌是怎麼樣的,因為人多,他又身材矮小,就看不見。 4 於是他跑到前頭,爬上一棵桑樹,要看看耶穌,因為耶穌就要從那裡經過。 5 耶穌到了那裡,往上一看,對他說:“撒該,快下來,今天我要住在你家裡。” 6 他就趕快下來,歡歡喜喜地接待耶穌。 7 眾人看見就紛紛議論說:“他竟到罪人家裡去住宿!” 8 撒該站著對主說:“主啊,請看,我要把家財的一半分給窮人,我若敲詐了誰,就還他四倍。” 9 耶穌說:“今天救恩到了這家,他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。 10 因為人子來,是要尋找拯救失喪的人。”
十個僕人的比喻(參(A)
11 眾人聽這些話的時候,因為耶穌已經接近耶路撒冷,又因他們以為 神的國快要出現,他就講了一個比喻, 12 說:“有一個貴族往遠方去要接受王位,然後回來。 13 他叫了自己的十個僕人來,給他們一千銀幣,說:‘你們拿去作生意,等到我回來。’ 14 他本國的人卻恨他,就派使者跟著去說:‘我們不願意這個人作王統治我們。’ 15 他得了王位回來,就吩咐把那些領了錢的僕人召來,要知道他們作生意賺了多少。 16 第一個走過來說:‘主啊,你的一百銀幣,已經賺了一千。’ 17 主人說:‘好,良善的僕人,你既然在最小的事上忠心,可以有權管理十座城。’ 18 第二個來說:‘主啊,你的一百銀幣,已經賺了五百。’ 19 主人說:‘你可以管理五座城。’ 20 另一個來說:‘主啊,你看,你的一百銀幣,我一直保存在手巾裡, 21 因為我怕你,你一向是嚴厲的人,沒有存的要提取,沒有種的要收割。’ 22 主人說:‘可惡的僕人!我要憑你的口定你的罪。你知道我是嚴厲的人,沒有存的要提取,沒有種的要收割嗎? 23 那你為甚麼不把我的錢存入銀行,等我回來的時候,把它連本帶利取回來呢?’ 24 他就對侍衛說:‘奪過他的一百銀幣,給那有一千的。’ 25 他們說:‘主啊,他已經有一千銀幣了。’ 26 主人說:‘我告訴你們,凡是有的,還要給他;沒有的,就算他有甚麼也要拿去。 27 至於我那些仇敵,就是不願意我作王統治他們的,把他們拉到這裡來,在我面前殺掉!’”
騎驢進耶路撒冷(B)
28 耶穌講完這些話,就往前走,上耶路撒冷去。 29 將到伯法其和伯大尼,就在橄欖山那裡,他差派兩個門徒, 30 說:“你們往對面的村子裡去,走進去的時候,就會看見一頭從來沒有人騎過的小驢,拴在那裡,把牠解開牽來。 31 如果有人問為甚麼解開牠,你們要這樣說:‘主需要牠。’” 32 被差的人去了,發現和主所說的一樣。 33 他們解開小驢的時候,主人問他們:“你們為甚麼解開牠?” 34 他們說:“主需要牠。” 35 他們把小驢牽到耶穌那裡,把自己的衣服搭在上面,扶著耶穌上去。 36 耶穌前行的時候,眾人把自己的衣服鋪在路上。
37 他走近耶路撒冷,快要下橄欖山的時候,全體門徒因為所看見的一切神蹟,就歡樂起來,大聲讚美 神, 38 說:
“奉主名來的王,
是應當稱頌的!
在天上有和平,
在至高之處有榮耀!”
39 群眾中有幾個法利賽人對他說:“先生,責備你的門徒吧!” 40 耶穌說:“我告訴你們,他們若不出聲,石頭都要呼叫了。”
為耶路撒冷哀哭
41 耶穌走近耶路撒冷的時候,看見了城,就為城哀哭, 42 說:“巴不得你在這日子,知道關於你平安的事,但現在這事在你眼前是隱藏的。 43 日子將到,你的仇敵必築壘攻擊你,周圍環繞你,四面困住你, 44 要摧毀你和你裡面的兒女,沒有一塊石頭留在另一塊石頭上面,因為你不知道那眷顧你的時期。”
潔淨聖殿(C)
45 耶穌進了聖殿,就趕走作買賣的人, 46 對他們說:“經上記著:
‘我的殿是禱告的殿’,
你們竟把它弄成賊窩了。”
47 他天天在聖殿裡教導人,祭司長、經學家和民間的首領,都想殺害他; 48 但他們不知道要怎樣下手,因為眾人都圍著他,聽他的教訓。

撒該悔改
19 耶穌進了耶利哥,正從城裡經過。 2 有個人名叫撒該,是稅吏長,家財豐厚。 3 他想看看耶穌,可是因為周圍人多,他身材矮小,無法看見。 4 他便跑到前面,爬上一棵桑樹觀看,因為耶穌會從那裡經過。
5 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。」
6 撒該連忙爬下來,興高采烈地帶耶穌回家。 7 百姓見狀,都埋怨說:「祂怎麼到一個罪人家裡作客?」
8 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。」
9 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。
Luke 19
The Message
Zacchaeus
19 1-4 Then Jesus entered and walked through Jericho. There was a man there, his name Zacchaeus, the head tax man and quite rich. He wanted desperately to see Jesus, but the crowd was in his way—he was a short man and couldn’t see over the crowd. So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus when he came by.
5-7 When Jesus got to the tree, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down. Today is my day to be a guest in your home.” Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree, hardly believing his good luck, delighted to take Jesus home with him. Everyone who saw the incident was indignant and grumped, “What business does he have getting cozy with this crook?”
8 Zacchaeus just stood there, a little stunned. He stammered apologetically, “Master, I give away half my income to the poor—and if I’m caught cheating, I pay four times the damages.”
9-10 Jesus said, “Today is salvation day in this home! Here he is: Zacchaeus, son of Abraham! For the Son of Man came to find and restore the lost.”
The Story About Investment
11 While he had their attention, and because they were getting close to Jerusalem by this time and expectation was building that God’s kingdom would appear any minute, he told this story:
12-13 “There was once a man descended from a royal house who needed to make a long trip back to headquarters to get authorization for his rule and then return. But first he called ten servants together, gave them each a sum of money, and instructed them, ‘Operate with this until I return.’
14 “But the citizens there hated him. So they sent a commission with a signed petition to oppose his rule: ‘We don’t want this man to rule us.’
15 “When he came back bringing the authorization of his rule, he called those ten servants to whom he had given the money to find out how they had done.
16 “The first said, ‘Master, I doubled your money.’
17 “He said, ‘Good servant! Great work! Because you’ve been trustworthy in this small job, I’m making you governor of ten towns.’
18 “The second said, ‘Master, I made a fifty percent profit on your money.’
19 “He said, ‘I’m putting you in charge of five towns.’
20-21 “The next servant said, ‘Master, here’s your money safe and sound. I kept it hidden in the cellar. To tell you the truth, I was a little afraid. I know you have high standards and hate sloppiness, and don’t suffer fools gladly.’
22-23 “He said, ‘You’re right that I don’t suffer fools gladly—and you’ve acted the fool! Why didn’t you at least invest the money in securities so I would have gotten a little interest on it?’
24 “Then he said to those standing there, ‘Take the money from him and give it to the servant who doubled my stake.’
25 “They said, ‘But Master, he already has double . . .’
26 “He said, ‘That’s what I mean: Risk your life and get more than you ever dreamed of. Play it safe and end up holding the bag.
27 “‘As for these enemies of mine who petitioned against my rule, clear them out of here. I don’t want to see their faces around here again.’”
God’s Personal Visit
28-31 After saying these things, Jesus headed straight up to Jerusalem. When he got near Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called Olives, he sent off two of the disciples with instructions: “Go to the village across from you. As soon as you enter, you’ll find a colt tethered, one that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it. If anyone says anything, asks, ‘What are you doing?’ say, ‘His Master needs him.’”
32-33 The two left and found it just as he said. As they were untying the colt, its owners said, “What are you doing untying the colt?”
34 They said, “His Master needs him.”
35-36 They brought the colt to Jesus. Then, throwing their coats on its back, they helped Jesus get on. As he rode, the people gave him a grand welcome, throwing their coats on the street.
37-38 Right at the crest, where Mount Olives begins its descent, the whole crowd of disciples burst into enthusiastic praise over all the mighty works they had witnessed:
Blessed is he who comes,
the king in God’s name!
All’s well in heaven!
Glory in the high places!
39 Some Pharisees from the crowd told him, “Teacher, get your disciples under control!”
40 But he said, “If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise.”
41-44 When the city came into view, he wept over it. “If you had only recognized this day, and everything that was good for you! But now it’s too late. In the days ahead your enemies are going to bring up their heavy artillery and surround you, pressing in from every side. They’ll smash you and your babies on the pavement. Not one stone will be left intact. All this because you didn’t recognize and welcome God’s personal visit.”
45-46 Going into the Temple he began to throw out everyone who had set up shop, selling everything and anything. He said, “It’s written in Scripture,
My house is a house of prayer;
You have turned it into a religious bazaar.”
47-48 From then on he taught each day in the Temple. The high priests, religion scholars, and the leaders of the people were trying their best to find a way to get rid of him. But with the people hanging on every word he spoke, they couldn’t come up with anything.
