路加福音 10
主差遣七十二人
1 这些事以后,主另外指定七十二个人t,差遣他们两个两个地在他前面,往自己所要到的各城各地去。 2 他对他们说:“要收的庄稼多,做工的人少。所以,你们要求庄稼的主差遣做工的人出去收他的庄稼。 3 你们去吧!看!我差你们出去,如同羔羊进入狼群。 4 不要带钱囊,不要带行囊,不要带鞋子;在路上也不要向人问安。 5 无论进哪一家,先要说:‘愿这一家平安。’ 6 那里若有当得平安的人,你们所求的平安就必临到那家,不然,将归还你们。 7 你们要住在那家,吃喝他们所供给的,因为工人得工钱是应当的;不要从这家搬到那家。 8 无论进哪一城,人若接待你们,给你们摆上什么食物,你们就吃什么。 9 要医治那城里的病人,对他们说:‘上帝的国临近你们了。’ 10 无论进哪一城,人若不接待你们,你们就到大街上去,说: 11 ‘就是你们城里的尘土粘在我们的脚上,我们也当着你们擦去。但是,你们该知道上帝的国临近了。’ 12 我告诉你们,在那日子,所多玛所受的,比那城还容易受呢!”
耶稣责备不悔改的城
(太11.20-24)
13 “哥拉汛哪,你有祸了!伯赛大啊,你有祸了!因为在你们中间所行的异能,若行在推罗、西顿,他们早已披麻蒙灰,坐在地上悔改了。 14 在审判的时候,推罗和西顿所受的,比你们还容易受呢! 15 迦百农啊, 你以为要被举到天上吗? 你要被推下阴间!”
16 耶稣又对门徒说:“听从你们的就是听从我;弃绝你们的就是弃绝我;弃绝我的就是弃绝差遣我来的那位。”
七十二人回来
17 那七十二个人欢欢喜喜地回来,说:“主啊,因你的名,就是鬼也服了我们。” 18 耶稣对他们说:“我看见撒但从天上坠落,像闪电一样。 19 我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和蝎子,又胜过仇敌一切的能力,绝没有什么能害你们。 20 然而,不要因灵服了你们就欢喜,而要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜。”
耶稣的欢乐
(太11.25-27;13.16-17)
21 正当那时,耶稣被圣灵感动而欢喜快乐,说:“父啊,天地的主,我感谢你!因为你把这些事向聪明智慧的人隐藏起来,而向婴孩启示出来。父啊,是的,因为你的美意本是如此。 22 一切都是我父交给我的。除了父,没有人知道子是谁;除了子和子所愿意启示的人,没有人知道父是谁。”
23 耶稣转身私下对门徒说:“看见你们所看见的,那眼睛有福了。 24 我告诉你们,从前有许多先知和君王要看你们所看的,却没有看见,要听你们所听的,却没有听见。”
好撒玛利亚人
25 有一个律法师起来试探耶稣,说:“老师!我该做什么才可以承受永生?” 26 耶稣对他说:“律法上写的是什么?你是怎样念的呢?” 27 他回答说:“你要尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱主—你的上帝,又要爱邻t如己。” 28 耶稣对他说:“你回答得正确,你这样做就会得永生。” 29 那人要证明自己有理,就对耶稣说:“谁是我的邻舍呢?”
30 耶稣回答:“有一个人从耶路撒冷下耶利哥去,落在强盗手中。他们剥去他的衣裳,把他打个半死,丢下他走了。 31 偶然有一个祭司从那条路下来,看见他就从另一边过去了。 32 又有一个利未人来到那里,看见他,也照样从另一边过去了。 33 可是,有一个撒玛利亚人路过那里,看见他就动了慈心, 34 上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处,包裹好了,扶他骑上自己的牲口,带他到旅店里去,照应他。 35 第二天,他拿出两个银币来,交给店主,说:‘请你照应他,额外的费用,我回来时会还你。’ 36 你想,这三个人哪一个是落在强盗手中那人的邻舍呢?” 37 他说:“是怜悯他的。”耶稣对他说:“你去,照样做吧!”
耶稣探望马大和马利亚
38 他们继续前行,耶稣进了一个村庄。有一个女人,名叫马大,接他到自己家里。 39 她有一个妹妹,名叫马利亚,在主的脚前坐着听他的道。 40 马大伺候的事多,心里忙乱,进前来,说:“主啊,我的妹妹留下我一个人伺候,你不在意吗?请吩咐她来帮助我。” 41 主回答说:“马大,马大,你为许多的事操心烦恼, 42 但是不可少的只有一件t。马利亚已经选择了那上好的福分,是没有人能从她夺去的。”
LUKE 10
The Work //of the Seventy-Two Followers
1 Later the Lord chose 72 t other followers and sent them out two by two to every town and village where he was about to go.
2 t He said to them:
A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in. 3 t Now go, but remember, I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves. 4 t Don't take along a moneybag or a traveling bag or sandals. And don't waste time greeting people on the road.t 5 As soon as you enter a home, say, “God bless this home with peace.” 6 If the people living there are peace-loving, your prayer for peace will bless them. But if they are not peace-loving, your prayer will return to you.
7 t Stay with the same family, eating and drinking whatever they give you, because workers are worth what they earn. Don't move around from house to house.
8 If the people of a town welcome you, eat whatever they offer.
9 Heal their sick and say, “God's kingdom will soon be here!”t
10 t But if the people of a town refuse to welcome you, go out into the street and say, 11 “We are shaking the dust from our feett as a warning to you. And you can be sure that God's kingdom will soon be here!”t
12 t I tell you that on the day of judgment the people of Sodom will get off easier than the people of that town!The Unbelieving Towns
(Matthew 11.20-24)
13 t You people of Chorazin are in for trouble! You people of Bethsaida are also in for trouble! If the miracles that took place in your towns had happened in Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have turned to God long ago. They would have dressed in sackcloth and put ashes on their heads.t 14 On the day of judgment the people of Tyre and Sidon will get off easier than you will.
15 t People of Capernaum, do you think you will be honored in heaven? Well, you will go down to hell!
16 t My followers, whoever listens to you is listening to me. Anyone who says “No” to you is saying “No” to me. And anyone who says “No” to me is really saying “No” to the one who sent me.The Return of the Seventy-Two
17 When the 72t followers returned, they were excited and said, “Lord, even the demons obeyed when we spoke in your name!”
18 Jesus told them:
I saw Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. 19 t I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions and to defeat the power of your enemy Satan. Nothing can harm you.
20 But don't be happy because evil spirits obey you. Be happy that your names are written in heaven!Jesus Thanks His Father
(Matthew 11.25-27; 13.16,17)
21 At that same time, Jesus felt the joy that comes from the Holy Spirit, t and he said:
My Father, Lord of heaven and earth, I am grateful that you hid all this from wise and educated people and showed it to ordinary people. Yes, Father, this is what pleased you.
22 t My Father has given me everything, and he is the only one who knows the Son. The only one who really knows the Father is the Son. But the Son wants to tell others about the Father, so they can know him too.
23 Jesus then turned to his disciples and said to them in private, “You are really blessed to see what you see!
24 Many prophets and kings were eager to see what you see and to hear what you hear. But I tell you they did not see or hear.”The Good Samaritan
25 t An expert in the Law of Moses stood up and asked Jesus a question to see what he would say. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to have eternal life?”
26 Jesus answered, “What is written in the Scriptures? How do you understand them?”
27 t The man replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind.’ They also say, ‘Love your neighbors as much as you love yourself.’ ”
28 t Jesus said, “You have given the right answer. If you do this, you will have eternal life.”
29 But the man wanted to show that he knew what he was talking about. So he asked Jesus, “Who are my neighbors?”
30 Jesus replied:
As a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, robbers attacked him and grabbed everything he had. They beat him up and ran off, leaving him half dead.
31 A priest happened to be going down the same road. But when he saw the man, he walked by on the other side.
32 Later a temple helpert came to the same place. But when he saw the man who had been beaten up, he also went by on the other side.
33 t A man from Samaria then came traveling along that road. When he saw the man, he felt sorry for him 34 and went over to him. He treated his wounds with olive oil and winet and bandaged them. Then he put him on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.
35 The next morning he gave the innkeeper two silver coins and said, “Please take care of the man. If you spend more than this on him, I will pay you when I return.”
36 Then Jesus asked, “Which one of these three people was a real neighbor to the man who was beaten up by robbers?”
37 The expert in the Law of Moses answered, “The one who showed pity.”
Jesus said, “Go and do the same!”Martha and Mary
38 t The Lord and his disciples were traveling along and came to a village. When they got there, a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat down in front of the Lord and was listening to what he said.
40 Martha was worried about all that had to be done. Finally, she went to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn't it bother you that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!”
41 The Lord answered, “Martha, Martha! You are worried and upset about so many things, 42 but only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen what is best, and it will not be taken away from her.”
