路加福音 7-9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
治好百夫长的仆人(A)
7 耶稣向群众讲完这一切话，就进了迦百农。 2 有百夫长所重用的一个奴仆，病得快要死了。 3 百夫长听见耶稣的事，就打发犹太人中几个长老到他那里，求他去医治他的奴仆。 4 长老们就来见耶稣，恳切地求他说：“你给他行这事，是他配得的， 5 因为他爱我们的人民，给我们建造会堂。” 6 耶稣就和他们同去。离那家不远的时候，百夫长派几个朋友来说：“主啊，不必劳驾，因为你到舍下来，我实在不敢当， 7 我也觉得没有资格去见你；只要你说一句话，我的仆人就必好了。 8 因为我自己是在别人的权下，也有兵在我以下；我对这个说：‘去！’他就去；对另一个说：‘来！’他就来；对我的仆人说：‘作这个！’他就作。” 9 耶稣听见这些话，就很惊奇，转身对跟随的众人说：“我告诉你们，这样的信心，我在以色列中从来没有见过。” 10 奉派的人回到家里，见那奴仆已经好了。
使拿因城寡妇的儿子复活
11 后来耶稣往拿因城去，与他同去的有门徒和一大群人。 12 他走近城门的时候，有人把一个死人抬出来，是个独生子，他母亲又是个寡妇。城里有一大群人陪着她。 13 主看见了，就怜悯她，对她说：“不要哭！” 14 于是上前按着杠子，抬的人就站住。他说：“青年人，我吩咐你起来！” 15 那死人就坐起来，开口说话，耶稣就把他交给他母亲。 16 众人都惊惧，颂赞 神说：“有伟大的先知在我们中间兴起来了！”又说：“ 神眷顾他的子民了！” 17 于是这话传遍了犹太和周围各地。
约翰派门徒去见耶稣(B)
18 约翰的门徒把这一切事告诉约翰。他就叫了两个门徒， 19 差他们往主那里去，说：“你就是那位要来的，还是我们要等别人呢？” 20 两人来到耶稣跟前，说：“施洗的约翰差我们来问你：‘你就是那位要来的，还是我们要等别人呢？’” 21 就在那时候，耶稣治好许多患疾病的、遭灾难的、身上有污鬼附着的，并且施恩给瞎眼的，使他们看见。 22 耶稣回答他们：“你们回去，把看见和听见的都告诉约翰，就是瞎的可以看见，跛的可以走路，患痲风的得到洁净，聋的可以听见，死人复活，穷人有福音听。 23 那不被我绊倒的，就有福了。”
耶稣论约翰(C)
24 约翰差来的人走了以后，耶稣对群众讲起约翰来，说：“你们到旷野去，是要看甚么？被风吹动的芦苇吗？ 25 你们出去到底要看甚么？身穿华丽衣服的人吗？这些衣服华丽，生活奢侈的人，是在王宫里的。 26 那么，你们出去要看甚么？先知吗？我告诉你们，是的。他比先知重要得多了。 27 圣经所记：
‘看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
他必在你前头预备你的道路’，
这句话是指着他说的。 28 我告诉你们，妇人所生的，没有一个比约翰更大，然而在 神的国里最小的比他还大。” 29 众人和税吏受过约翰的洗礼，听见这话，就称 神为义。 30 但法利赛人和律法师，未受过约翰的洗礼，就拒绝 神对他们的美意。 31 耶稣又说：“我要把这世代的人比作甚么呢？他们好象甚么呢？ 32 他们好象小孩子坐在巿中心，彼此呼叫，说：
‘我们给你们吹笛子，你们却不跳舞；
我们唱哀歌，你们也不啼哭。’
33 因为施洗的约翰来了，不吃饭，不喝酒，你们说他是鬼附的。 34 人子来了，又吃又喝，你们说：‘你看，这人贪食好酒，与税吏和罪人为友。’ 35 但 神的智慧，借着他的儿女就证实是公义的了。”
赦免犯了罪的女人（参(D)
36 有一个法利赛人，请耶稣同他吃饭，他就到法利赛人家去赴席。 37 那城里有一个女人，是个罪人，知道他在法利赛人家里吃饭，就拿着一瓶香膏， 38 站在耶稣背后，挨近他的脚哭，眼泪滴湿他的脚，又用自己的头发擦干，不住地吻他的脚，并且抹上香膏。 39 请他的法利赛人看见了，心里说：“这人若是先知，必定知道摸他的是谁，是怎样的女人，因为她是个罪人！” 40 耶稣对他说：“西门，我有句话要对你说。”他说：“老师，请说。” 41 耶稣说：“一个债主有两个债户，一个欠五百银币，一个欠五十。 42 他们都无力偿还，债主就把两人豁免了。他们之中哪一个更爱他呢？” 43 西门回答：“我想是那个多得恩免的。”耶稣说：“你判断对了。” 44 于是转身向着那女人，对西门说：“你看见这女人吗？我进了你的家，你没有给我水洗脚，但这女人用眼泪湿了我的脚，用头发擦干。 45 你没有和我亲吻；但这女人，自从我进来，就不住地亲我的脚。 46 你没有用油抹我的头；但这女人用香膏抹我的脚。 47 所以我告诉你，她许多罪都蒙赦免了，因为她的爱多；那赦免少的，爱就少。” 48 耶稣就对她说：“你的罪赦免了。” 49 跟他一起吃饭的人心里说：“这是谁，竟然赦罪呢？” 50 耶稣对那女人说：“你的信救了你，平安地去吧！”
跟从耶稣的妇女
8 不久，耶稣周游各城各村讲道，宣扬 神的国的福音，和他在一起的有十二个门徒， 2 还有几个蒙了医治、脱离污鬼与疾病的妇女，其中有称为抹大拉的马利亚，曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来； 3 有希律的管家古撒的妻子约亚拿，又有苏珊娜，和许多别的妇女，她们都用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒。
撒种的比喻(E)
4 当时有许多人聚在一起，还有人从各城来到耶稣那里，他就用比喻说： 5 “有一个撒种的出去撒种，撒的时候，有的落在路旁，被人践踏，或给空中的小鸟吃掉。 6 有的落在石头地上，一长出来就枯萎了，因为得不着滋润。 7 有的落在荆棘丛中，荆棘也一齐生长，把它挤住了。 8 有的落在好土里，就生长起来，结出百倍的果实。”他说了这些话，就大声说：“有耳可听的，就应当听！”
用比喻的目的(F)
9 门徒问他这比喻是甚么意思。 10 他说：“ 神的国的奥秘，只给你们知道，对别人就用比喻，叫他们看却看不见，听却听不明白。
解释撒种的比喻(G)
11 “这比喻是说，种子是 神的道， 12 那落在路旁的，就是人听了，魔鬼随即来到，从他们心里把道夺去，恐怕他们相信就得救了。 13 那落在石头地上的，就是人听了，欢欢喜喜地接受，但是没有根，不过是暂时相信，一旦遭遇试炼，就倒退了。 14 那落在荆棘里的，就是人听了，走开以后，被今世的忧虑、财富和宴乐挤住了，结不出成熟的子粒来。 15 但那落在好土里的，就是人用诚实良善的心来听，把道持守住，忍耐着结出果实。
隐藏的事终必显露(H)
16 “没有人点灯用器皿盖上，或放在床底下，而是放在灯台上，叫进来的人都看得见光。 17 因为没有甚么隐藏的事不被显明，也没有甚么掩盖的事不被人知道而暴露出来。 18 所以你们应当留心怎样听，因为凡是有的，还要给他；凡是没有的，连他自以为有的，也要拿去。”
谁是耶稣的母亲和弟兄(I)
19 耶稣的母亲和弟弟来到他那里，因为人多，不能到他跟前。 20 有人转告耶稣：“你母亲和弟弟站在外面要见你。” 21 他回答他们：“听了 神的道而遵行的人，才是我的母亲，我的弟兄。”
平静风浪(J)
22 有一天，耶稣和门徒上了船，他对他们说：“我们渡到海那边去吧。”他们就开了船。 23 船行的时候，他睡着了。海上忽然起了狂风，他们全身湿透，非常危险。 24 门徒来叫醒耶稣，说：“主啊！主啊！我们没命了！”他醒过来，斥责风浪，风浪就止息、平静了。 25 耶稣对他们说：“你们的信心在哪里？”他们又惧怕、又希奇，彼此说：“这到底是谁？他吩咐风浪，连风浪也听从他。”
治好鬼附的格拉森人(K)
26 船到了格拉森人的地区，正在加利利对面， 27 耶稣一上岸，就有城里一个被鬼附着的人，迎面而来。这人已经很久不穿衣服，不住在家里，只住在坟墓里。 28 他一见耶稣，就俯伏喊叫，大声说：“至高 神的儿子耶稣，我跟你有甚么关系呢？求你不要使我受苦。” 29 因为耶稣已经吩咐这污灵从那人身上出来。原来这污灵屡次抓住那人；那人被铁链和脚炼捆锁，而且有人看管，他竟挣断锁炼，被鬼赶入旷野。 30 耶稣问他：“你叫甚么名字？”他说：“群。”因为进到那人里面的鬼很多。 31 他们求耶稣，不要赶他们进入无底坑。
32 那里有一大群猪正在山上吃东西。他们求耶稣准他们进入猪群。耶稣准许了， 33 鬼就从那人身上出来，进入猪群，猪群闯下山崖，掉在海里淹死了。 34 放猪的看见所发生的事就逃跑，到城里和各乡村把这事传开。 35 众人就出来看发生了甚么事。来到耶稣那里，看见鬼已经离开的那人，穿著衣服，神志清醒，坐在耶稣脚前，他们就害怕。 36 当时看见的人，把被鬼附过的人怎样得到医治，说给他们听。 37 格拉森一带的人，都要求耶稣离开他们，因为他们大大惧怕。他就上船回去了。 38 鬼已经离开的那人求耶稣，要跟他在一起；但耶稣打发他回去，说： 39 “你回家去，述说 神为你作了怎样的事。”他就走遍全城，传讲耶稣为他作了怎样的事。
治好血漏病的女人(L)
40 耶稣回来的时候，众人欢迎他，因为大家都在等着他。 41 那时，有一个人来了，名叫叶鲁，他是一位会堂主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前，求他往他家里去， 42 因为他的独生女，约十二岁，快要死了。耶稣去的时候，群众拥挤着他。
43 有一个女人，患了十二年的血漏病，在医生手里花尽了全部养生的（有些抄本无“在医生手里花尽了全部养生的”一句），没有一个能医好她。 44 她从后面挤来，一摸耶稣的衣裳繸子，血就立刻止住。 45 耶稣说：“摸我的是谁？”众人都不承认。彼得说：“主啊，众人都拥挤着你。” 46 耶稣说：“必定有人摸我，因为我觉得有能力从我身上出去。” 47 那女人见不能隐瞒，就战战兢兢地过来，向他俯伏，把摸他的缘故，和怎样立刻得到医治，在众人面前说出来。 48 耶稣对她说：“女儿，你的信使你痊愈了，平安地去吧！”
使女孩复活(M)
49 耶稣还在说话的时候，有人从会堂主管家里来，说：“你的女儿死了，不必再劳动老师了。” 50 耶稣听见就对他说：“不要怕，只要信，她必得痊愈。” 51 到了那家，除了彼得、约翰、雅各和女孩的父母以外，他不准任何人同他进屋里去。 52 众人都在为女孩痛哭哀号，他说：“不要哭！她不是死了，而是睡着了。” 53 他们明知女孩已经死了，就嘲笑他。 54 他进去拉着女孩的手，叫她说：“孩子，起来！” 55 她的灵魂回来了，她就立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她东西吃。 56 她父母非常惊奇。耶稣嘱咐他们不要把他所作的事告诉人。
差遣十二使徒(N)
9 耶稣召齐十二门徒，给他们能力、权柄，制伏一切鬼魔，医治各样的疾病， 2 差遣他们去宣讲 神的国和医治病人， 3 对他们说：“不要带着甚么上路，不要带手杖，不要带口袋，不要带食物，不要带银钱，也不要带两件衣服。 4 无论进哪一家，就住在那里，直到离开。 5 凡不接待你们的，你们离开那城的时候，当把脚上的灰尘跺下去，作为反对他们的表示。” 6 于是他们就出去，走遍各乡，传讲福音，到处医治病人。
希律的困惑(O)
7 分封王希律听见所发生的一切事，犹豫不定，因为有人说：“约翰从死人中复活了。” 8 又有人说：“以利亚显现了。”还有人说：“古时的一位先知复活了。” 9 希律说：“约翰已经斩头了，但这是谁，我怎么会听到他这些事呢？”就设法要见他。
给五千人吃饱的神迹(P)
10 使徒们回来，把所作的事报告耶稣。他带着他们，悄悄地退往伯赛大城去。 11 群众知道了，也跟了去。他接待他们，向他们讲论 神的国，医好需要医治的人。 12 天将晚的时候，十二门徒来到他跟前，说：“请解散众人，好让他们往周围的田舍村庄，去找地方住，找东西吃，因为我们这里是旷野。” 13 他说：“你们给他们吃吧！”他们说：“我们所有的，不过是五个饼两条鱼，除非去为这些人另买食物。” 14 原来男人就约有五千。他对门徒说：“叫他们一组一组地坐下，每组约五十人。” 15 门徒就照他的话，叫众人坐下。 16 耶稣拿起这五个饼，两条鱼，望着天，祝谢了，擘开递给门徒，摆在众人面前。 17 他们都吃饱了，把剩下的零碎拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。
彼得承认耶稣是基督(Q)
18 有一次耶稣独自祈祷的时候，只有门徒和他在一起。他问他们：“人说我是谁？” 19 他们回答：“有人说是施洗的约翰，有人说是以利亚，还有人说是古时的一位先知复活了。” 20 他又问他们：“你们说我是谁？”彼得回答：“是 神的基督！”
耶稣预言受难及复活(R)
21 耶稣警告他们，嘱咐他们，不要把这事告诉人。 22 又说：“人子必须受许多苦，被长老、祭司长，和经学家弃绝、杀害，第三日复活。”
23 耶稣又对众人说：“如果有人愿意跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。 24 凡是想救自己生命的，必丧掉生命；但为我牺牲自己生命的，必救了生命。 25 人若赚得全世界，却丧失自己，或赔上自己，有甚么好处呢？ 26 凡是把我和我的道当作可耻的，人子在自己与父并圣天使的荣耀里降临的时候，也必把他当作可耻的。 27 我实在告诉你们，站在这里的，有人在没有尝过死味以前必定要看见 神的国。”
在山上改变形象(S)
28 说了这些话以后约有八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰和雅各，上山去祷告。 29 正祷告的时候，他的面貌就改变了，衣服洁白发光。 30 忽然有两个人和他谈话，就是摩西和以利亚。 31 他们在荣光里显现，谈论他去世的事，就是他在耶路撒冷将要完成的。 32 彼得和同伴都在打盹。醒过来之后，就看见他的荣光，并与他站在一起的那两个人。 33 二人正要离开他的时候，彼得对耶稣说：“主啊，我们在这里真好！我们可以搭三个帐棚，一个为你，一个为摩西，一个为以利亚。”他根本不知道自己在说甚么。 34 他说这话的时候，有一片云彩笼罩他们，他们入了云彩，门徒就害怕起来。 35 有声音从云彩里出来，说：“这是我的儿子，我所拣选的（“这是我的儿子，我所拣选的”有些抄本作“这是我的爱子”），你们要听从他！” 36 声音过了，只见耶稣独自在那里。在那些日子，门徒保持缄默，不把所看见的告诉任何人。
治好癫痫病的小孩(T)
37 第二天，他们下了山，有一大群人迎面而来。 38 在人群中有一个人喊叫说：“老师，求你怜悯我的儿子，因为他是我的独生子。 39 你看，污灵一抓住他，他就忽然喊叫，并且抽疯，口吐白沫；污灵又折磨糟践他，不肯放过他。 40 我求过你的门徒，把他赶出去，他们却办不到。” 41 耶稣说：“唉！这不信又乖谬的世代啊！我跟你们在一起，忍受你们，要到几时呢？把你儿子带到这里来吧！” 42 那孩子正走过来的时候，污鬼把他摔倒，使他重重地抽疯。耶稣斥责那污灵，把孩子医好，交给他父亲。 43 众人都惊奇 神的大能。
第二次预言受难及复活(U)
众人还在希奇耶稣所作的这一切时，他对门徒说： 44 “你们要把这些话存在心里：人子将要被交在人的手里。” 45 门徒不明白这话，因为这话的意思是隐藏的，不让他们明白，他们也不敢问。
门徒争论谁最大(V)
46 后来，门徒起了意见，争论谁是最大的。 47 耶稣看出他们的心意，就领了一个小孩子来，叫他站在自己旁边， 48 对他们说：“凡因我的名接待这小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，就是接待那差我来的。谁是你们中间最小的，那人就是最大的。” 49 约翰说：“主，我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼，就禁止他，因为他不和我们一起跟从你。” 50 耶稣说：“不要禁止他，因为不反对你们的，就是赞成你们的。”
撒玛利亚人不接待主
51 耶稣被接上升的日子快到了，他就决意向耶路撒冷去， 52 并且差遣使者走在前头；他们去了，进入撒玛利亚的一个村庄，要为他预备。 53 那里的人不接待他，因为他面向着耶路撒冷走。 54 他的门徒雅各、约翰看见了，就说：“主啊，你要我们吩咐火从天降下来，烧灭他们吗？” 55 耶稣就转过身来，责备他们， 56 然后他们就往别的村庄去了。
要求跟从耶稣(W)
57 他们走路的时候，有一个人对他说：“你无论往哪里去，我都要跟从你！” 58 耶稣说：“狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，人子却没有栖身的地方。” 59 他对另一个人说：“你跟从我吧！”那人说：“主啊，请准我先回去安葬我的父亲吧。” 60 耶稣说：“让死人去埋葬他们的死人，你应该去传扬 神的国。” 61 又有一个人说：“主，我要跟从你，但容我先回去，向家人道别。” 62 耶稣说：“手扶着犁向后看的，不适合进 神的国。”
Luke 7-9
New International Version
Luke 7-9
New International Version
The Faith of the Centurion(A)
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this(B) to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(D)
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(E) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(F) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 They were all filled with awe(G) and praised God.(H) “A great prophet(I) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(J) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(K)
Jesus and John the Baptist(L)
18 John’s(M) disciples(N) told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(O) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(P) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?(Q) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God(S) is greater than he.”
29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.(T) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(U) rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine,(V) and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(W) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(X)(Y)
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,(Z) he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet,(AA) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(AB) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(AC) but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AD)
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;(AE) go in peace.”(AF)
The Parable of the Sower(AG)
8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(AH) The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(AI) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(AJ) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(AK)
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(AL) but to others I speak in parables, so that,
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(AN) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(AO) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(AP) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(AQ) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(AR) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(AS)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(AT)
19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(AU) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(AV)
Jesus Calms the Storm(AW)(AX)
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(AY) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(AZ) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(BA) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(BB)(BC)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[e] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(BD) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(BE) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(BF)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(BG) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(BH) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(BI) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(BJ) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(BK)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(BL) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(BM) for twelve years,[f] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(BN) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(BO) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(BP) I know that power has gone out from me.”(BQ)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(BR) Go in peace.”(BS)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(BT) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(BU) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(BV) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(BW)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(BX) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(BY)
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(BZ)(CA)
9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(CB) and to cure diseases,(CC) 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(CD) and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(CE) 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(CF) 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Now Herod(CG) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(CH) had been raised from the dead,(CI) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(CJ) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(CK) 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(CL)
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(CM)(CN)
10 When the apostles(CO) returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,(CP) 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God,(CQ) and healed those who needed healing.
12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.(CR) Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(CS)(CT)
18 Once when Jesus was praying(CU) in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(CV) others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”(CW)
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”(CX)
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(CY) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(CZ) must suffer many things(DA) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(DB) and he must be killed(DC) and on the third day(DD) be raised to life.”(DE)
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(DF) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(DG) 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them(DH) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(DI)
27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
The Transfiguration(DJ)
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James(DK) with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.(DL) 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[g](DM) which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy,(DN) but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master,(DO) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen;(DP) listen to him.”(DQ) 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.(DR)
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(DS)
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”
41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,”(DT) Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”(DU) 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it,(DV) and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.(DW) 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts,(DX) took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(DY) For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”(DZ)
49 “Master,”(EA) said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”(EB)
Samaritan Opposition
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(EC) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(ED) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(EE) village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John(EF) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[h]?”(EG) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
The Cost of Following Jesus(EH)
57 As they were walking along the road,(EI) a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(EJ) has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”(EK)
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”(EL)
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(EM)
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
