Lukas 18
Alkitab Mudah Dibaca
Allah akan menjawab umat-Nya
18 Lalu Yesus mengajar pengikut-Nya bahwa mereka harus selalu berdoa dan tidak putus harapan. Ia menggunakan perumpamaan ini untuk mengajar mereka: 2 “Di sebuah kota, ada seorang hakim. Ia tidak takut kepada Allah. Ia juga tidak peduli apa yang dipikirkan orang. 3 Di kota itu juga tinggal seorang janda. Janda itu terus-menerus mendatangi hakim itu dan bilang, ‘Ada orang yang berbuat jahat kepadaku. Belalah hak aku terhadap lawanku!’ 4 Pada awalnya hakim itu tidak mau menolong perempuan itu. Tetapi setelah beberapa waktu, ia berpikir, ‘Aku memang tidak peduli kepada Allah, dan tidak peduli apa kata orang tentang diriku. 5 Tetapi perempuan ini menggangguku. Aku akan memberikan apa yang benar kepadanya sehingga ia tidak akan menggangguku lagi. Jika aku tidak menolongnya, ia mungkin akan datang dan menyerang aku.’”
6 Tuhan berkata, “Perhatikanlah, ada pelajaran dari perkataan hakim yang jahat itu. 7 Umat Allah berseru kepada-Nya siang dan malam, dan Ia akan memberi mereka apa yang benar. Ia tidak akan menunda-nunda untuk menolong mereka. 8 Ketahuilah, Allah akan segera menolong umat-Nya. Tetapi ketika Anak Manusia datang kembali, apakah Ia akan menemukan orang di dunia ini yang percaya kepada-Nya?”
Orang Farisi dan pemungut pajak
9 Ada orang yang merasa dirinya sangat baik dan menganggap rendah orang lain. Yesus memakai perumpamaan ini untuk mengajar mereka: 10 “Suatu hari ada seorang Farisi dan seorang pemungut pajak pergi ke Bait Allah untuk berdoa. 11 Orang Farisi itu berdiri sendirian, jauh dari pemungut pajak itu. Ketika orang Farisi itu berdoa, ia berkata, ‘Ya, Allah, aku berterima kasih kepada-Mu karena aku tidak jahat seperti orang lain. Aku tidak seperti orang yang mencuri, berbuat curang atau berzinah. Aku bersyukur karena aku lebih baik dari pemungut pajak ini. 12 Ya, aku berpuasa dua kali dalam seminggu, dan aku memberikan sepersepuluh dari seluruh penghasilanku!’
13 Pemungut pajak itu juga berdiri sendirian. Tetapi ketika berdoa, ia tidak berani memandang ke langit. Ia benar-benar menyesal sehingga ia memukuli dadanya sambil berkata, ‘Ya, Allah, kasihanilah aku, seorang yang berdosa!’ 14 Aku berkata kepadamu, pemungut pajak ini, bukan orang Farisi itu, telah dibenarkan Allah ketika ia selesai berdoa dan pulang ke rumahnya. Orang yang merasa dirinya lebih baik daripada orang lain akan direndahkan. Tetapi mereka yang merendahkan dirinya akan ditinggikan.”
Yesus menyambut anak-anak
(Mat 19:13-15; Mrk 10:13-16)
15 Beberapa orang bahkan membawa bayi-bayi mereka kepada Yesus, supaya Ia meletakkan tangan-Nya ke atas mereka untuk memberkati mereka. Tetapi ketika para pengikut melihatnya, mereka berkata kepada orang-orang itu agar tidak melakukannya. 16 Tetapi Yesus memanggil anak-anak kecil datang kepada-Nya dan berkata kepada pengikut-Nya, “Biarkan anak-anak kecil itu datang kepada-Ku. Janganlah melarang mereka, sebab Kerajaan Allah adalah milik orang yang seperti anak-anak. 17 Sesungguhnya kalian harus menerima Kerajaan Allah seperti anak kecil menerima pemberian, atau kalian tidak akan pernah bisa masuk ke dalamnya.”
Seorang kaya menolak untuk mengikuti Yesus
(Mat 19:16-30; Mrk 10:17-31)
18 Seorang pemimpin agama bertanya kepada Yesus, “Guru yang baik, apa yang harus aku lakukan untuk mendapat hidup yang kekal?”
19 Jawab Yesus kepadanya, “Mengapa kamu menyebut Aku baik? Hanya Allah saja yang baik. 20 Tentu kamu tahu perintah ini: ‘Jangan kamu berzinah, jangan kamu membunuh orang, jangan kamu mencuri, jangan kamu memberi kesaksian palsu tentang orang lain, serta hormati ayah dan ibumu.’”(A)
21 Tetapi pemimpin itu berkata, “Aku sudah mematuhi semua perintah itu sejak kecil.”
22 Ketika Yesus mendengar ini, Ia bilang kepada pemimpin itu, “Tetapi masih ada satu hal yang harus kamu lakukan. Juallah semua milikmu dan bagikanlah uangmu kepada orang miskin. Kamu akan mendapat harta di surga. Kemudian datanglah dan ikutlah Aku.” 23 Tetapi ketika orang itu mendengar perkataan Yesus untuk memberikan uangnya, ia menjadi sangat sedih. Ia tidak mau melakukan hal itu, karena ia sangat kaya.
24 Ketika Yesus melihat orang itu sedih, Ia berkata, “Memang sangat sulit bagi orang kaya untuk masuk ke dalam Kerajaan Allah. 25 Lebih mudah bagi seekor unta melewati lubang jarum daripada orang kaya masuk ke dalam Kerajaan Allah.”
26 Ketika orang-orang mendengar perkataan Yesus itu, mereka bertanya, “Kalau begitu, siapa yang dapat diselamatkan?”
27 Yesus menjawab, “Allah sanggup melakukan hal-hal yang tidak mungkin dilakukan manusia.”
28 Petrus berkata, “Lihat, kami sudah meninggalkan semua yang kami miliki dan mengikut Engkau.”
29 Yesus menjawab, “Aku berjanji bahwa setiap orang yang meninggalkan rumah, istri, saudara-saudara, orang tua atau anak-anaknya demi Kerajaan Allah, 30 akan menerima berlipat ganda dari yang telah mereka tinggalkan. Mereka akan menerima lebih banyak lagi dalam kehidupan ini. Dan pada masa yang akan datang mereka akan mendapat pahala hidup yang kekal.”
Yesus berbicara lagi tentang kematian-Nya
(Mat 20:17-19; Mrk 10:32-34)
31 Kemudian Yesus hanya berbicara dengan kedua belas rasul-Nya. Ia bilang kepada mereka, “Dengarlah, kita akan pergi ke Yerusalem. Semua yang Allah katakan kepada para nabi untuk dituliskan tentang Anak Manusia akan terjadi. 32 Ia akan diserahkan kepada orang-orang asing, yang akan mengejek-Nya, menghina-Nya dan meludahi-Nya. 33 Mereka akan menghajar dan kemudian membunuh-Nya. Tetapi pada hari ketiga setelah kematian-Nya, Ia akan bangkit kembali.” 34 Para rasul berusaha mengerti maksud perkataan ini, tapi mereka tidak dapat; arti perkataan itu tersembunyi bagi mereka.
Yesus menyembuhkan seorang buta
(Mat 20:29-34; Mrk 10:46-52)
35 Yesus mendekati kota Yerikho. Ada seorang buta sedang duduk di pinggir jalan sambil mengemis. 36 Ketika mendengar orang banyak melewati jalan itu, orang buta itu bertanya, “Apa yang sedang terjadi?”
37 Mereka memberitahunya, “Yesus, yang dari Nazaret datang ke sini.”
38 Orang buta itu sangat gembira dan berteriak, “Yesus, Anak Daud, tolonglah aku!”
39 Orang-orang yang berjalan di depan rombongan, menegur orang buta itu dan menyuruhnya diam. Tetapi ia malah berteriak lebih keras lagi, “Anak Daud, tolonglah aku!”
40 Yesus berhenti di situ dan berkata, “Bawa orang itu kepada-Ku!” Ketika orang itu mendekat, Yesus bertanya kepadanya, 41 “Apa yang kamu ingin Aku lakukan untukmu?”
Ia menjawab, “Tuhan, aku ingin dapat melihat kembali.”
42 Yesus bilang kepadanya, “Kamu bisa melihat sekarang juga. Kamu disembuhkan karena kamu percaya.”
43 Segera orang itu dapat melihat. Ia mengikuti Yesus sambil memuji Allah. Semua orang yang melihat kejadian itu memuji Allah karena apa yang terjadi.
Lucas 18
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Persistência na oração
18 Jesus lhes contou uma parábola para lhes ensinar que deveriam orar sempre, sem desanimar. 2 Ele disse:
—Em certa cidade havia um juiz que não temia a Deus e nem respeitava a ninguém. 3 Nessa mesma vila vivia também uma viúva que sempre o procurava, pedindo: “Ajude-me a obter justiça contra o meu adversário”. 4 Por muito tempo ele se negou a ajudar a viúva, mas um dia disse para si mesmo: “É certo que eu não temo a Deus e que também não respeito a ninguém. 5 Porém, tenho que ajudar esta viúva a obter justiça, pois ela não para de me aborrecer e, se eu não a ajudar, ela nunca me deixará em paz”.
6 Então o Senhor disse:
—Considerem o que o juiz desonesto disse. 7 Não fará Deus justiça a favor do seu povo que grita por socorro dia e noite? Será que ele vai demorar para ajudá-lo? 8 Eu lhes digo que ele fará justiça ao seu povo e depressa. Porém, será que o Filho do Homem encontrará fé na terra quando voltar?
O fariseu e o cobrador de impostos
9 Para aqueles que tinham certeza de que eram justos e que desprezavam os outros, ele contou esta parábola:
10 —Dois homens subiram ao templo para orar; um era fariseu e o outro cobrador de impostos. 11 O fariseu se levantou e orou consigo mesmo: “Meu Deus! Eu lhe agradeço por não ser como as outras pessoas: ladrões, desonestos, adúlteros, ou até mesmo como este cobrador de impostos. 12 Jejuo duas vezes por semana e dou dez por cento de tudo o que ganho”. 13 O cobrador de impostos, porém, de longe, nem sequer olhava para o céu e, batendo no peito, dizia: “Meu Deus! Tenha compaixão de mim, pois sou pecador!” 14 Eu lhes digo que este homem, e não o outro, foi para casa em paz com Deus. Pois Deus fará com que todo aquele que se exalte seja humilhado, e aquele que se humilhe seja exaltado.
Jesus acolhe as crianças
(Mt 19.13-15; Mc 10.13-16)
15 E levavam até mesmo crianças a Jesus, para que ele pudesse abençoá-las[a]. Quando, porém, os discípulos viram isto, repreenderam aqueles que as levavam. 16 Mas Jesus, chamando as crianças para perto de si, disse:
—Deixem que as criancinhas venham a mim; não as proíbam! Pois o reino de Deus pertence aos que são como estas crianças. 17 Digo a verdade a vocês: Quem não receber o reino de Deus assim como uma criança o faz, nunca entrará nele.
Um jovem rico recusa seguir Jesus
(Mt 19.16-30; Mc 10.17-31)
18 Certo líder judeu perguntou-lhe:
—Bom Mestre, o que devo fazer para herdar a vida eterna?
19 Jesus lhe respondeu:
—Por que você me chama de bom? Só Deus é bom, e mais ninguém. 20 Você conhece os mandamentos: “Não cometa adultério, não mate, não roube, não acuse ninguém falsamente, respeite o seu pai e a sua mãe”(A).
21 E o homem, então, disse:
—Desde pequeno tenho obedecido a todos esses mandamentos.
22 Quando Jesus ouviu isto, disse:
—Ainda está faltando uma coisa: Venda tudo o que você tem e distribua o dinheiro entre os pobres; então você terá um tesouro no céu. Depois venha e siga-me.
23 Quando o homem ouviu isto, ficou muito triste, pois era riquíssimo. 24 Jesus viu que ele estava triste e disse:
—Como é difícil para os ricos entrarem no reino de Deus! 25 É mais fácil um camelo passar pelo buraco de uma agulha, do que um rico entrar no reino de Deus.
26 Os que o ouviam, disseram:
—Então, quem é que pode ser salvo?
27 Ele disse:
—O que é impossível para as pessoas, é possível para Deus.
28 Então Pedro disse:
—Olhe, nós deixamos tudo o que tínhamos para seguir o senhor.
29 Jesus, então, lhes disse:
—Digo a verdade a vocês: Não há ninguém que tenha deixado casa, mulher, irmãos, pais ou filhos por causa do reino de Deus, 30 e que não receba no presente muitas vezes mais e, no futuro, a vida eterna.
Jesus fala de sua morte pela terceira vez
(Mt 20.17-19; Mc 10.32-34)
31 Jesus chamou os doze discípulos de lado e lhes disse:
—Escutem! Nós estamos indo para Jerusalém e todas as coisas que os profetas escreveram a respeito do Filho do Homem acontecerão. 32 Ele será entregue aos que não são judeus e estes vão zombar dele, insultá-lo, cuspir nele. 33 E, depois de baterem nele, o matarão. Mas no terceiro dia ele ressuscitará.
34 Os discípulos, porém, não entenderam nada do que Jesus falou. O sentido daquelas palavras estava escondido deles e eles não sabiam do que Jesus falava.
Jesus cura um cego
(Mt 20.29-34; Mc 10.46-52)
35 Jesus estava chegando perto da cidade de Jericó. Um homem cego, sentado à beira da estrada, pedia esmolas 36 e, quando ouviu a multidão passando, perguntou o que estava acontecendo. 37 E lhe disseram que Jesus de Nazaré estava passando. 38 Ao ouvir isto, ele começou a gritar:
—Jesus, Filho da família de Davi, por favor, me ajude!
39 Aqueles que estavam indo na frente diziam para ele ficar quieto, mas ele gritava ainda mais:
—Filho da família de Davi, por favor, me ajude!
40 Jesus, então, parou e mandou que lhe trouxessem o cego. Quando o cego já estava perto dele, Jesus lhe perguntou:
41 —O que quer que eu faça por você?
E ele respondeu:
—Quero voltar a ver, Senhor!
42 Então Jesus lhe disse:
—Receba a sua visão. A sua fé o curou.
43 E, no mesmo instante, o cego recuperou a vista e seguia Jesus e dava glórias a Deus. Todas as pessoas que viram isto louvavam a Deus.

Luke 18
New International Version
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.(A) 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice(B) against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”(C)
6 And the Lord(D) said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out(E) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man(F) comes,(G) will he find faith on the earth?”
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness(H) and looked down on everyone else,(I) Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray,(J) one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself(K) and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast(L) twice a week and give a tenth(M) of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast(N) and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’(O)
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(P)
The Little Children and Jesus(Q)
15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child(R) will never enter it.”
The Rich and the Kingdom of God(S)
18 A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(T)
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[a]”(U)
21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.”
23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!(X) 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”(Y)
28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”(Z)
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come(AA) eternal life.”(AB)
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(AC)
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem,(AD) and everything that is written by the prophets(AE) about the Son of Man(AF) will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles.(AG) They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him(AH) and kill him.(AI) On the third day(AJ) he will rise again.”(AK)
34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.(AL)
A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight(AM)
35 As Jesus approached Jericho,(AN) a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”(AO)
38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David,(AP) have mercy(AQ) on me!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”(AR)
40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”(AS) 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.(AT)
