路 加 福 音 8
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
与耶稣同行的人
8 第二天,耶稣走遍了各个城镇和村庄,一路上向人们传道,告诉人们上帝王国的福音。他的十二个使徒也和他一道同行, 2 此外,还有一些妇女,她们都曾被邪灵和疾病困惑过,现在已经被治好了。她们当中有马利亚,又被称为抹大拉,耶稣从她身上驱走了七个鬼, 3 另外,还有希律家的管家、苦撒的妻子约亚拿,还有苏撒拿以及很多其他人。这些女人都是用自己的钱来帮助耶稣和他的使徒们的。
农夫播种的寓言
4 很多人聚集在一起,人们不断从各个城镇来到耶稣那里,耶稣对他们讲了一个寓言故事,他说:
5 “从前有个农夫到田里去播种。当他撒种子的时候,有些落在路边,被过路的行人践踏,并被空中的鸟儿吃掉; 6 还有一些种子落到了石头地上,它们刚开始生长,就枯萎了,因为石头上没有水份; 7 也有一些种子落到了荆棘丛里,荆棘与种子一起生长,结果荆棘将种子窒息死了。 8 但是,那些落在肥沃土壤里的种子,它们茁壮地生长着,并且结出了比原来的种子多出几百倍的果实。”
当耶稣说到这里时,他大声对人们说∶“有耳能听的人, 都应该听着!”
9 耶稣的门徒们问他这个寓言的含义。
10 耶稣说∶“关于上帝天国的奥秘只让你们知道,但是,对于其他人来说,我用寓言故事来讲述,所以:
‘他们视而不见,
听而不懂。’ (A)
耶稣解释种子的故事
11 “这个寓言的含意是:种子是上帝的福音。 12 那些落在路边的种子代表这样的人,他们虽然听到了,然后,魔鬼来把福音从他们心中夺走了,所以他们不但不能相信,而且也得不到得救; 13 落在石头地上的种子代表那些听到了、并乐意接受福音的人,可是,它们没扎根,他们一时相信,但是,经受不住考验; 14 落在荆棘丛里的种子代表这样的人,他们听到了福音,但是各行其事,结果让生活中的烦恼和对财富和享乐的追求窒息了,所以,他们永远结不出成熟的果实; 15 而那些落进肥沃土壤里的种子 ,代表心地美好和诚实的人,他们听到了福音,牢记在心里,持之以恒,结出了良果 [a]。
运用你们的理解能力
16 “没有人会点上灯,又用碗把灯扣上,或者把灯放在床下,相反,他会把它放在灯台上,让进来的人能够看到光亮。 17 没有不被披露的隐情,也没有不会被知的秘密,所有的秘密都会暴露在光天化日之下的。 18 所以,你们要慎重考虑如何去听,因为,拥有的人将会得到更多;那几乎没有的人,就连他仅有的一点点也会被拿走。”
门徒是耶稣真正的家人
19 耶稣的母亲和他的兄弟们来了,但是因为人太多,他们无法接近耶稣。 20 有人告诉耶稣说∶“你的母亲和兄弟们正站在外边,想见你。”
21 耶稣却答道∶“我真正的母亲和兄弟,是那些听到了上帝的话、并执行的人。”
门徒看到耶稣的力量
22 一天,耶稣登上了一条船,他的门徒们也与他一起进了船。耶稣对他们说∶“咱们到湖对岸去吧!”门徒们出发过河。 23 船行驶中,耶稣睡着了。此刻,湖面上忽然刮起了一阵风暴,船仓开始灌进了水,他们处在危险之中。 24 于是,门徒们过去叫醒他,说∶“主人,主人,我们快被淹死了!”
耶稣起身,斥责风浪,风浪便停止了,湖面上一片平静。 25 然后,耶稣对门徒们说∶“你们的信仰都在哪里呢?”
可是,门徒们又惊又怕,彼此说道∶“他到底是什么人?他竟然命令风与水,而且它们也听命服从他。”
耶稣解救被鬼附身的人
26 耶稣和门徒们乘船渡湖,到了格拉森地区,这个地区位于加利利湖对岸。 27 耶稣一下船,当地的一个人就来见他。这个人被鬼附体,已有很长时间没穿衣服,也没住在房屋里,而是住在墓穴里。
30 耶稣问他∶“你叫什么名字?”
那人回答道 ∶“我叫军团 [b]。”(他回答他叫“军团”,是因为很多鬼钻进了他的身体。) 31 鬼乞求耶稣,不要把他们驱逐到深渊里去。 32 此时,山坡上正好有一群猪在吃食,鬼便乞求耶稣,让他们钻到猪身上去,耶稣准许了他们。群鬼便离开了那人,钻进猪身上去了。 33 于是,猪群狂奔下山崖,掉进湖里淹死了。
34 放猪的人看见这个情景,都跑了,在城镇和乡村向人们讲述了所发生的事情。 35 人们都出来,想看究竟发生了什么事情。他们来到耶稣那里,看到了那个人,鬼已经离开了他。此时,他正坐在耶稣的脚边,穿着衣裳,神智已恢复了正常,这情景把他们都吓坏了。 36 目睹了这一切的人,告诉他们被鬼附身的那个人是如何治愈的。 37 于是,格拉森地区的全体居民都要求耶稣离开他们,因为他们都被所发生的事情吓坏了,所以,耶稣上船离开那里, 回加利利去了。 38 那个被治愈的人却央求着要与耶稣一同走,但是,耶稣打发他回去,并对他说: 39 “你回家去吧,告诉人们上帝为你所做的事情。”
于是,那人走遍了全城,把耶稣为他做的事情告诉给人们。
耶稣救活已死的女孩,并治愈一位女人
40 当耶稣返回加利利时,人们都来迎接他,因为他们都在等侯着他。 41 正在这时,一个名叫睚鲁的犹太会堂管事来到那里。他跪在耶稣的脚边,恳求他到他家里去一趟, 42 因为他的年约十二岁的独生女儿快要死了。
当耶稣动身前往他家时,众人簇拥着他。 43 有个患血漏病十二年的女子,虽然她把所有的钱都花在了请医生看病上,可是没有一个人能治好她的病。 44 她来到耶稣身后,摸了摸他的袍边,立刻,她的血漏止住了。 45 耶稣问道∶“谁摸了我?”
所有的人都不承认。彼得说∶“主人,大概是人多拥挤碰到你了!”
46 但是耶稣却说∶“有人摸了我,因为我感觉到有能量从我身上散发了。” 47 这个女人知道瞒不住耶稣,便战战兢兢地走上前来,俯伏在耶稣的面前,当着所有的人的面,告诉耶稣她为什么摸了他,还告诉人们,她的病立刻便被治好了。 48 然后耶稣对她说∶“女儿,你的信仰治愈了你。平平安安地走吧!”
49 正当耶稣说话时,有人从会堂管事家里赶来,说道∶“你女儿已经死了,别再麻烦老师了。”
50 耶稣听见这话,便对那个会堂管事睚鲁说道∶“不要害怕,尽管相信就是了,她会被治好的!”
51 耶稣来到他家时,他让人们都站在门外等着,只让彼得、约翰、雅各和孩子的父母和他一同进屋。 52 这时,所有的人都为小女孩的死痛哭悲哀着,耶稣对他们说∶“别哭了,她没死,她只不过是睡着了!”
53 人们都嘲笑他,因为他们知道她已经死了。 54 但是,耶稣握住小姑娘的手,说道∶“孩子,站起来!” 55 女孩的灵回到了她的身上,立刻站了起来。然后,耶稣又吩咐人们拿东西给这个小姑娘吃。 56 孩子的父母惊讶得目瞪口呆。但是,耶稣又嘱咐他们,不让他们把所发生的事情告诉给任何人。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
撒種的比喻
8 此後,耶穌到各城鎮去傳揚上帝國的福音。同行的有十二使徒, 2 還有幾個曾被邪靈和疾病纏身、現在已被醫治的婦女。其中有抹大拉的瑪麗亞,耶穌曾經從她身上趕出七個鬼, 3 還有希律的管家苦撒的妻子約亞娜,此外還有蘇珊娜等其他婦女。她們用自己的錢財資助耶穌和門徒。
4 那時,人群絡繹不絕地從各地聚集到耶穌面前,耶穌用比喻教導他們,說: 5 「有一個農夫到田裡撒種,有些種子落在路旁,被人踐踏,又被飛鳥吃掉了; 6 有些落在蓋著淺土的石頭地上,因水分不足,幼苗剛長出來就枯萎了; 7 有些落在荊棘叢中,荊棘長起來便把幼苗擠住了; 8 有些落在沃土裡,發芽生長,結出百倍的果實。」耶穌講完這番話後,高聲說:「有耳可聽的,就要留心聽。」
9 門徒請耶穌解釋這比喻的意思, 10 耶穌便說:「上帝國的奧祕只讓你們知道,對其他人,我就用比喻,使他們看卻看不見,聽卻聽不明白。 11 這個比喻的意思是這樣,種子代表上帝的道, 12 種子落在路旁是指人聽了道,隨後魔鬼來把道從他們心裡奪走了,不讓他們相信並得救; 13 種子落在蓋著淺土的石頭地上是指人聽了道,欣然接受了,但是沒有根基,只是暫時相信,一遇到試煉就放棄了; 14 種子落在荊棘叢中是指人聽了道,後來被生活的憂慮、錢財和享樂纏住了,以致結不出成熟的果實來; 15 種子落在沃土裡則是指人聽了道,用誠實良善的心堅忍持守,至終結出果實。
點燈的比喻
16 「沒有人點了燈,卻用器皿把它蓋起來或放到床底下,而是放在燈臺上,使進來的人能見到光。 17 掩蓋的事終會暴露出來,隱藏的秘密終會被人知道。 18 因此,你們要留心聽,因為凡有的,還要給他更多;凡沒有的,連他自以為已經擁有的也要被奪去。」
耶穌的親屬
19 這時,耶穌的母親和兄弟來找祂,由於人太多,他們無法靠近耶穌, 20 有人就對祂說:「你的母親和兄弟在外面想見你。」 21 耶穌卻說:「聽見上帝的話語並遵行的人就是我的母親、我的弟兄。」
平靜風浪
22 有一天,耶穌對門徒說:「我們到湖的對岸去吧。」於是他們坐船前往對岸。 23 途中耶穌睡著了。不料湖上忽然狂風大作,船灌滿了水,非常危險。 24 門徒過來喚醒耶穌,說:「主啊,主啊!我們快淹死了!」
耶穌醒來,就斥責風浪,頓時風平浪靜了。
25 耶穌對他們說:「你們的信心在哪裡呢?」
門徒又驚又怕,彼此議論說:「祂究竟是誰?一發命令,連風浪都聽祂的!」
格拉森趕鬼
26 他們渡過加利利湖,到了格拉森地區。 27 耶穌上岸後,迎面遇見當地一個被鬼附身的人。那人長期赤身露體,不住在房屋裡,只住在墓穴中。 28 他一見到耶穌,就仆倒在祂面前,高聲喊叫:「至高上帝的兒子耶穌,我和你有什麼關係?求求你,不要折磨我!」 29 這是因為耶穌已命令污鬼離開那人。那人多次被污鬼操縱,人們用鐵鏈腳鐐把他鎖起來看管,他竟把鎖鏈也扯斷,被鬼催逼到荒野。
30 耶穌問他:「你叫什麼名字?」
他說:「我叫『群』。」因為有一大群鬼附在那人身上。 31 鬼不斷央求耶穌不要叫牠們到無底坑去。
32 當時有一大群豬在附近山坡上覓食,污鬼就央求耶穌准許牠們進入豬群,耶穌答應了。 33 於是那群鬼便離開那人,進入豬群。那群豬就一路奔下陡坡,衝進湖裡淹死了。 34 放豬的人見此情形拔腿就跑,把這事告訴了城裡和鄉下的人。 35 人們出來看個究竟,到了耶穌那裡,發現那曾被鬼附身的人衣著整齊、神智清醒地坐在耶穌腳前,他們都很害怕。 36 目擊者把事情的始末告訴了他們。 37 格拉森地區的居民都十分害怕,請求耶穌離開那裡,耶穌便乘船回去了。
38 那從前被鬼附身的人懇求跟耶穌同行,耶穌卻對他說: 39 「你回家吧,把上帝為你所行的奇事告訴別人。」他就回去,走遍全城,四處傳揚耶穌為他所行的奇事。
雅魯求救
40 耶穌回到對岸,受到等候在那裡的百姓的歡迎。 41 一個名叫雅魯的會堂主管走過來俯伏在耶穌腳前,求耶穌到他家去,因為他有一個大約十二歲的獨生女快要死了。
42 耶穌前去雅魯家的時候,人群擁擠著祂。
患血漏病婦人的信心
43 有一個患了十二年血漏病的婦人耗盡了積蓄,到處求醫,但沒有人能醫治她。 44 婦人擠到耶穌的背後,摸了一下祂衣服的穗邊,她的血漏立刻止住了。
45 耶穌問:「誰摸我?」沒有人說摸過祂。
彼得說:「老師,眾人都在擁擠你。」
46 耶穌卻說:「一定有人摸了我,因為我感覺有能力從我身上出去。」
47 那婦人知道無法隱瞞,就戰戰兢兢地走過來,俯伏在耶穌腳前,把她摸了耶穌的衣裳後頑疾馬上痊癒的始末當眾說了出來。
48 耶穌對她說:「女兒,你的信心救了你!安心回去吧。」
雅魯女兒死而復活
49 耶穌還在說話的時候,有人從雅魯家趕來,對雅魯說:「你的女兒已經死了,不用麻煩老師了。」
50 耶穌聽見,就對雅魯說:「不要怕,只要信。你的女兒一定會好的!」
51 到了雅魯家,耶穌只准彼得、雅各、約翰和雅魯夫婦跟祂進去。 52 屋內的人都在為那女孩哀傷哭泣,耶穌說:「不要哭,她沒有死,只是睡著了。」 53 眾人就譏笑祂,因為他們明明知道那女孩死了。 54 耶穌拉著那女孩的手,說:「孩子,起來!」 55 她的靈魂就回來了,她立刻站了起來。耶穌吩咐人給她東西吃。 56 她的父母非常驚訝,耶穌卻囑咐他們不要把這事傳開。
Luke 8
Legacy Standard Bible
Many Women Contribute to Jesus’ Ministry
8 And it happened that soon afterward He was going around from one city and village to another, (A)preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him, 2 and also (B)some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: (C)Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, (D)Herod’s (E)manager, and Susanna, and many others who were ministering to them from their possessions.
The Parable of the Sower
4 (F)Now when a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable: 5 “The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the [a]air ate it up. 6 And other seed fell on rock and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And other seed fell among the thorns, and when the thorns grew up with it, they choked it out. 8 And other seed fell into the good soil; and growing up, it produced a crop one hundred times as great.” As He said these things, He would call out, “(G)He who has ears to hear, [b]let him hear.”
The Parable of the Sower Explained
9 (H)And His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant. 10 And He said, “(I)To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that (J)seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 “Now the parable is this: (K)the seed is the word of God. 12 And those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved. 13 And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root; [c]they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And the seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of life, and do not bear ripe fruit. 15 But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with [d]perseverance.
A Lampstand and the Light
16 “Now (L)no one after lighting a lamp covers it with a container or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. 17 (M)For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 So beware how you listen, (N)for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [e]thinks he has shall be taken away from him.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
19 (O)And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” 21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these (P)who hear the word of God and do it.”
Jesus Calms a Storm
22 (Q)Now it happened that on one of those days He and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of (R)the lake.” So they set sail. 23 But as they were sailing along, He fell asleep, and a windstorm descended on (S)the lake, and they began to be swamped and in danger. 24 And they came to Him and woke Him up, saying, “(T)Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He woke up and (U)rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and [f]it became calm. 25 And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
Jesus Saves a Man from Many Demons
26 (V)Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He came out onto the land, a man from the city met Him, one who was possessed with demons and had not put on any garment for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs. 28 Now seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, “[g](W)What do I have to do with You, Jesus, Son of (X)the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me.” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times, and he was bound with chains and shackles, being kept under guard. And yet breaking his bonds, he was driven by the demon into the desolate regions. 30 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “(Y)Legion,” for many demons had entered him. 31 And they were pleading with Him not to command them to go away into (Z)the abyss.
32 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain, and the demons pleaded with Him to permit them to enter [h]the swine. And He gave them permission. 33 And when the demons came out of the man, they entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into (AA)the lake and was drowned.
34 And when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside. 35 And the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down (AB)at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 36 And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was (AC)demon-possessed had been [i]saved. 37 And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear. And He got into a boat and returned. 38 (AD)But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might [j]accompany Him. But He sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your house and recount what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’ Daughter
40 (AE)And as Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him. 41 (AF)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was [k](AG)an official of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he began to plead with Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an [l]only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.
43 And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, 44 came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “(AH)Master, the crowds are surrounding and pressing in on You.” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I knew that (AI)power had gone out of Me.” 47 And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling. And falling down before Him, she declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And He said to her, “Daughter, (AJ)your faith has [m]saved you; (AK)go in peace.”
49 While He was still speaking, someone *came from the house of (AL)the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” 50 But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, “(AM)Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be [n]saved.” 51 So when He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother. 52 Now they were all crying and (AN)lamenting for her, but He said, “Stop crying, for she has not died, but (AO)is asleep.” 53 And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died. 54 He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Child, arise!” 55 And her spirit returned, and she stood up immediately. And He gave orders for something to be given her to eat. 56 And her parents were astounded, but He (AP)directed them to tell no one what had happened.
