路加福音 7
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
治好百夫長的僕人(A)
7 耶穌向群眾講完這一切話，就進了迦百農。 2 有百夫長所重用的一個奴僕，病得快要死了。 3 百夫長聽見耶穌的事，就打發猶太人中幾個長老到他那裡，求他去醫治他的奴僕。 4 長老們就來見耶穌，懇切地求他說：“你給他行這事，是他配得的， 5 因為他愛我們的人民，給我們建造會堂。” 6 耶穌就和他們同去。離那家不遠的時候，百夫長派幾個朋友來說：“主啊，不必勞駕，因為你到舍下來，我實在不敢當， 7 我也覺得沒有資格去見你；只要你說一句話，我的僕人就必好了。 8 因為我自己是在別人的權下，也有兵在我以下；我對這個說：‘去！’他就去；對另一個說：‘來！’他就來；對我的僕人說：‘作這個！’他就作。” 9 耶穌聽見這些話，就很驚奇，轉身對跟隨的眾人說：“我告訴你們，這樣的信心，我在以色列中從來沒有見過。” 10 奉派的人回到家裡，見那奴僕已經好了。
使拿因城寡婦的兒子復活
11 後來耶穌往拿因城去，與他同去的有門徒和一大群人。 12 他走近城門的時候，有人把一個死人抬出來，是個獨生子，他母親又是個寡婦。城裡有一大群人陪著她。 13 主看見了，就憐憫她，對她說：“不要哭！” 14 於是上前按著槓子，抬的人就站住。他說：“青年人，我吩咐你起來！” 15 那死人就坐起來，開口說話，耶穌就把他交給他母親。 16 眾人都驚懼，頌讚 神說：“有偉大的先知在我們中間興起來了！”又說：“ 神眷顧他的子民了！” 17 於是這話傳遍了猶太和周圍各地。
約翰派門徒去見耶穌(B)
18 約翰的門徒把這一切事告訴約翰。他就叫了兩個門徒， 19 差他們往主那裡去，說：“你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？” 20 兩人來到耶穌跟前，說：“施洗的約翰差我們來問你：‘你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？’” 21 就在那時候，耶穌治好許多患疾病的、遭災難的、身上有污鬼附著的，並且施恩給瞎眼的，使他們看見。 22 耶穌回答他們：“你們回去，把看見和聽見的都告訴約翰，就是瞎的可以看見，跛的可以走路，患痲風的得到潔淨，聾的可以聽見，死人復活，窮人有福音聽。 23 那不被我絆倒的，就有福了。”
耶穌論約翰(C)
24 約翰差來的人走了以後，耶穌對群眾講起約翰來，說：“你們到曠野去，是要看甚麼？被風吹動的蘆葦嗎？ 25 你們出去到底要看甚麼？身穿華麗衣服的人嗎？這些衣服華麗，生活奢侈的人，是在王宮裡的。 26 那麼，你們出去要看甚麼？先知嗎？我告訴你們，是的。他比先知重要得多了。 27 聖經所記：
‘看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
他必在你前頭預備你的道路’，
這句話是指著他說的。 28 我告訴你們，婦人所生的，沒有一個比約翰更大，然而在 神的國裡最小的比他還大。” 29 眾人和稅吏受過約翰的洗禮，聽見這話，就稱 神為義。 30 但法利賽人和律法師，未受過約翰的洗禮，就拒絕 神對他們的美意。 31 耶穌又說：“我要把這世代的人比作甚麼呢？他們好像甚麼呢？ 32 他們好像小孩子坐在巿中心，彼此呼叫，說：
‘我們給你們吹笛子，你們卻不跳舞；
我們唱哀歌，你們也不啼哭。’
33 因為施洗的約翰來了，不吃飯，不喝酒，你們說他是鬼附的。 34 人子來了，又吃又喝，你們說：‘你看，這人貪食好酒，與稅吏和罪人為友。’ 35 但 神的智慧，藉著他的兒女就證實是公義的了。”
赦免犯了罪的女人（參(D)
36 有一個法利賽人，請耶穌同他吃飯，他就到法利賽人家去赴席。 37 那城裡有一個女人，是個罪人，知道他在法利賽人家裡吃飯，就拿著一瓶香膏， 38 站在耶穌背後，挨近他的腳哭，眼淚滴濕他的腳，又用自己的頭髮擦乾，不住地吻他的腳，並且抹上香膏。 39 請他的法利賽人看見了，心裡說：“這人若是先知，必定知道摸他的是誰，是怎樣的女人，因為她是個罪人！” 40 耶穌對他說：“西門，我有句話要對你說。”他說：“老師，請說。” 41 耶穌說：“一個債主有兩個債戶，一個欠五百銀幣，一個欠五十。 42 他們都無力償還，債主就把兩人豁免了。他們之中哪一個更愛他呢？” 43 西門回答：“我想是那個多得恩免的。”耶穌說：“你判斷對了。” 44 於是轉身向著那女人，對西門說：“你看見這女人嗎？我進了你的家，你沒有給我水洗腳，但這女人用眼淚濕了我的腳，用頭髮擦乾。 45 你沒有和我親吻；但這女人，自從我進來，就不住地親我的腳。 46 你沒有用油抹我的頭；但這女人用香膏抹我的腳。 47 所以我告訴你，她許多罪都蒙赦免了，因為她的愛多；那赦免少的，愛就少。” 48 耶穌就對她說：“你的罪赦免了。” 49 跟他一起吃飯的人心裡說：“這是誰，竟然赦罪呢？” 50 耶穌對那女人說：“你的信救了你，平安地去吧！”
Luke 7
Common English Bible
A servant is healed
7 After Jesus finished presenting all his words among the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 A centurion had a servant who was very important to him, but the servant was ill and about to die. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Jesus to ask him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly pleaded with Jesus. “He deserves to have you do this for him,” they said. 5 “He loves our people and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Jesus went with them. He had almost reached the house when the centurion sent friends to say to Jesus, “Lord, don’t be bothered. I don’t deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 In fact, I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to you. Just say the word and my servant will be healed. 8 I’m also a man appointed under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and the servant does it.”
9 When Jesus heard these words, he was impressed with the centurion. He turned to the crowd following him and said, “I tell you, even in Israel I haven’t found faith like this.” 10 When the centurion’s friends returned to his house, they found the servant restored to health.
Jesus raises a widow’s son
11 A little later Jesus went to a city called Nain. His disciples and a great crowd traveled with him. 12 As he approached the city gate, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When he saw her, the Lord had compassion for her and said, “Don’t cry.” 14 He stepped forward and touched the stretcher on which the dead man was being carried. Those carrying him stood still. Jesus said, “Young man, I say to you, get up.” 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16 Awestruck, everyone praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.” 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding region.
John the Baptist and Jesus
18 John’s disciples informed him about all these things. John called two of his disciples 19 and sent them to the Lord. They were to ask him, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?”
20 When they reached Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you. He asks, ‘Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?’”
21 Right then, Jesus healed many of their diseases, illnesses, and evil spirits, and he gave sight to a number of blind people. 22 Then he replied to John’s disciples, “Go, report to John what you have seen and heard. Those who were blind are able to see. Those who were crippled now walk. People with skin diseases are cleansed. Those who were deaf now hear. Those who were dead are raised up. And good news is preached to the poor.[a] 23 Happy is anyone who doesn’t stumble along the way because of me.”
24 After John’s messengers were gone, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A stalk blowing in the wind? 25 What did you go out to see? A man dressed up in refined clothes? Look, those who dress in fashionable clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces. 26 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 He is the one of whom it’s written: Look, I’m sending my messenger before you, who will prepare your way before you.[b] 28 I tell you that no greater human being has ever been born than John. Yet whoever is least in God’s kingdom is greater than he.” 29 Everyone who heard this, including the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice because they had been baptized by John. 30 But the Pharisees and legal experts rejected God’s will for themselves because they hadn’t been baptized by John.
31 “To what will I compare the people of this generation?” Jesus asked. “What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace calling out to each other, ‘We played the flute for you and you didn’t dance. We sang a funeral song and you didn’t cry.’ 33 John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 Yet the Human One[c] came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ 35 But wisdom is proved to be right by all her descendants.”
Forgiveness and gratitude
36 One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. After he entered the Pharisee’s home, he took his place at the table. 37 Meanwhile, a woman from the city, a sinner, discovered that Jesus was dining in the Pharisee’s house. She brought perfumed oil in a vase made of alabaster. 38 Standing behind him at his feet and crying, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured the oil on them. 39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw what was happening, he said to himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. He would know that she is a sinner.
40 Jesus replied, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
“Teacher, speak,” he said.
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. One owed enough money to pay five hundred people for a day’s work.[d] The other owed enough money for fifty. 42 When they couldn’t pay, the lender forgave the debts of them both. Which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the largest debt canceled.”
Jesus said, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Jesus turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your home, you didn’t give me water for my feet, but she wet my feet with tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet since I came in. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has poured perfumed oil on my feet. 47 This is why I tell you that her many sins have been forgiven; so she has shown great love. The one who is forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other table guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this person that even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
