路加福音 11

祈求就必得著

1 有一天，耶穌在一個地方祈禱，祈禱完了，有一個門徒對他說：“主啊，求你教導我們禱告，像約翰教導他的門徒一樣。”

2 耶穌說：“你們禱告的時候，要說：
‘父啊，願你的名被尊為聖，
願你的國降臨；
3 我們需用的食物，求你每天賜給我們；
4 赦免我們的罪，因為我們也饒恕所有虧負我們的人；
不要讓我們陷入試探。’”
5 耶穌又對他們說：“你們當中，誰有朋友半夜去找他，說：‘請你借給我三個餅，6 因為我有一個朋友旅行來到我這裡，我沒有甚麼可以招待他。’7 而他卻在裡面回答：‘不要麻煩我，門已經關好了，孩子也跟我在床上了，我不能起來拿給你。’8 我告訴你們，即使不因為他是朋友而起來給他，也會因為他厚顏地直求，而起來照他所需要的給他。9 我又告訴你們，你們祈求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。10 因為所有祈求的就得著，尋找的就尋見，叩門的就給他開門。11 你們中間作父親的，哪有兒子求魚，反拿蛇當作魚給他呢？12 或求雞蛋，反給他蠍子呢？

13 你們雖然不好，尚且知道把好東西給自己的兒女，何況天父，豈不更把聖靈賜給求他的人嗎？”
耶穌靠　神的能力趕鬼

14 耶穌趕出一個啞巴鬼，鬼既出去，啞巴就說起話來，眾人都希奇。15 有人說：“他靠鬼王別西卜趕鬼。”16 又有人試探他，向他求一個從天上來的神蹟。17 耶穌知道他們的心意，就對他們說：“如果一個國家自相紛爭，就必定荒涼；如果一個家庭自相為敵，就必然敗落。18 如果撒但自相紛爭，他的國怎能站立得住呢？你們說我靠別西卜趕鬼，19 我若靠別西卜趕鬼，你們的子孫趕鬼又靠誰呢？因此，他們必要作你們的審判官。20 我若靠　神的能力趕鬼，這就是　神的國臨到你們了。21 一個壯漢拿著武器，看守自己的家園，他的家財就平安無事。22 但是一個比他更強的人來了，勝過了他，奪去他所倚靠的武器，就把他的家財當作掠物分了。

23 不站在我這一邊的就是反對我的；不跟從一起收聚的就是分散的。
污靈去而復返的教訓
24 “一個污靈離開了一個人，走遍乾旱之地，尋找棲身的地方，卻沒有找到，就說：‘我要回到我從前離開了的那房子。’25 到了之後，看見裡面已經打掃乾淨，粉飾好了，

26 他就去帶了另外七個比自己更惡的污靈來，進去住在那裡；那人後來的情況，比以前更壞了。”
約拿的神蹟
27 耶穌正說這些話的時候，群眾中有一個女人高聲對他說：“懷你胎的和哺養你的有福了！”28 他說：“是的，卻還不如聽　神的道而遵守的人有福。”29 眾人聚集的時候，耶穌就說：“這世代是個邪惡的世代。這世代尋求神蹟，可是除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他們了。30 約拿怎樣成了尼尼微人的神蹟，人子也照樣成為這個世代的神蹟。31 審判的時候，南方的女王要和這世代的人一同起來，她要定他們的罪，因為她從地極來到，要聽所羅門智慧的話。你看，這裡有一位是比所羅門更大的。

32 審判的時候，尼尼微人要和這世代的人一同起來，他們要定這個世代的罪，因為尼尼微人聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。你看，這裡有一位是比約拿更大的。
裡面的光
33 “沒有人點了燈，把它放在地窖裡，或量器底下，卻放在燈臺上，叫進來的人看得見光。34 你的眼睛就是你身體的燈，你的眼睛健全，全身就明亮；如果不健全，全身就黑暗。35 所以要謹慎，免得你裡面的光黑暗了。

36 你若全身明亮，沒有一點黑暗，你就完全明亮，好像明亮的燈光照你一樣。”
法利賽人和律法師有禍了

37 耶穌說話的時候，有一個法利賽人請耶穌和他一起吃飯；他就進去坐席。38 這個法利賽人見耶穌吃飯之前不洗手，覺得奇怪。39 主對他說：“你們法利賽人把杯盤的外面洗淨，但你們裡面卻充滿了搶奪和邪惡。40 無知的人哪，那造外面的，不也造裡面嗎？41 只要把裡面的施捨出去，你們的一切就都潔淨了。42 然而你們法利賽人有禍了！因為你們把薄荷、茴香和各樣菜蔬獻上十分之一，卻把公義和愛　神的事疏忽了；這些是你們應當作的，但其他的也不可疏忽。43 你們法利賽人有禍了！因為你們喜愛會堂裡的高位和人在巿中心的問安。

44 你們有禍了！因為你們好像不顯露的墳墓，走在上面的人並不知道。”
45 律法師中有一個回答他：“老師，你這樣說，把我們也侮辱了！”46 耶穌說：“你們律法師也有禍了，因為你們把難擔的擔子叫人擔，自己連一個指頭也不動。47 你們有禍了！因為你們修造先知的墳墓，而那些先知正是你們祖先所殺的，48 這樣，你們就成了證人，對你們祖先的作為表示同意；他們殺害先知，你們修造先知的墳墓。49 所以，　神的智慧說：‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他們那裡去，有的他們要殺害，有的他們要迫害，50 -51 為要使創世以來眾先知所流的血，從亞伯的血起，直到在祭壇和聖所之間受害的撒迦利亞的血為止，都向這一代追討。’是的，我告訴你們，都要向這一代追討。52 你們律法師有禍了！因為你們拿去知識的鑰匙，自己不進去，又阻止要進去的人。”53 耶穌從那裡出來，經學家和法利賽人非常敵視他，質問他很多問題，

54 等機會從他的口中找把柄。

Luke 11

Instructions on Prayer

1 Nowt Jesust was praying in a certain place. Whent he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Johns taughts his disciples.”

2 So he said to them, “When you pray,s say:
Father,ss may your name be honored;t
may your kingdom come.ss

3 Give us each day our daily bread,t

4 and forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sinst against us.
And do not lead us into temptation.”sts
5 Thent he said to them, “Suppose one of yout has a friend, and you go to himt at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,t6 because a friend of mine has stopped here while on a journey,t and I have nothing to set befores him.’7 Thent he will replyt from inside, ‘Do not bother me. The door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed.t I cannot get up and give you anything.’t

8 I tell you, even though the man insidet will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of the first man’st sheer persistencet he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
9 “Sot I tell you: Ask,s and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the doort will be opened for you.10 For everyone who askss receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the doort will be opened.11 What father among you, if yourt son asks fors a fish, will give him a snakes instead of a fish?12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?s

13 If you then, although you aret evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirits to those who ask him!”

Jesus and Beelzebul

14 Nowt he was casting out a demon that was mute.t Whent the demon had gone out, the man who had been mute began to speak,s and the crowds were amazed.15 But some of them said, “By the power of Beelzebul,ts the rulert of demons, he casts out demons.”16 Others, to testt him,t began asking fort a signs from heaven.17 But Jesus,t realizing their thoughts, said to them,s “Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed,t and a divided household falls.t18 Sot ift Satan too is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? I ask you this becauset you claim that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.19 Now if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sonss cast themt out? Therefore they will be your judges.20 But if I cast out demons by the fingers of God, then the kingdom of Gods has already overtakent you.21 When a strong man,t fully armed, guards his own palace,t his possessions are safe.t22 Butt when a stronger mant attackst and conquers him, he takes away the first man’st armor on which the man reliedt and divides upt his plunder.s

23 Whoever is not with me is against me,s and whoever does not gather with me scatters.s

Response to Jesus’ Work

24 “When an unclean spirits goes out of a person,t it passes through waterless placess looking for rest butt not finding any. Thens it says, ‘I will return to the home I left.’t25 When it returns,t it finds the houset swept clean and put in order.s

26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, sot the last state of that persont is worse than the first.”s
27 Ast he said these things, a woman in the crowd spoke outt to him, “Blessed is the wombt that bore you and the breasts at which you nursed!”s

28 But he replied,t “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obeys it!”

The Sign of Jonah

29 Ast the crowds were increasing, Jesust began to say, “This generation is a wicked generation; it looks for a sign,s but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.s30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh,t so the Son of Man will be a signt to this generation.s31 The queen of the Souths will rise up at the judgments with the peoplet of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon – and now,t something greaters than Solomon is here!

32 The peoplet of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to themts – and now,t something greater than Jonah is here!

Internal Light

33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a hidden placet or under a basket,st but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy,t your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased,ts your body is full of darkness.35 Therefore see to itt that the light in yous is not darkness.

36 Ift thent your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark,t it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.”t

Rebuking the Pharisees and Experts in the Law

37 As he spoke,t a Pharisees invited Jesust to have a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at the table.t38 Thet Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesust did not first wash his handsts before the meal.39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleans the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.t40 You fools!s Didn’t the one who made the outside make the inside as well?t

41 But give from your heart to those in need,ts andt then everything will be clean for you.s
42 “But woe to you Pharisees!t You give a tentht of your mint,s rue,ts and every herb, yet you neglect justices and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others.t43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seatst in the synagoguess and elaborate greetingsts in the marketplaces!

44 Woe to you!s You are like unmarked graves, and peoplet walk over them without realizing it!”s
45 One of the experts in religious laws answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things you insultt us too.”46 But Jesust replied,t “Woe to you experts in religious law as well!t You load peoplet down with burdens difficult to bear, yet you yourselves refuse to toucht the burdens with even one of your fingers!47 Woe to you! You builds the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestorst killed.48 So you testify that you approve oft the deeds of your ancestors,t because they killed the prophetst and you build theirt tombs!s49 For this reason also the wisdoms of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’50 so that this generation may be held accountablet for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginningt of the world,t51 from the blood of Abels to the blood of Zechariah,s who was killedt between the altar and the sanctuary.t Yes, I tell you, it will be charged againstt this generation.

52 Woe to you experts in religious law! You have taken aways the key to knowledge! You did not go in yourselves, and you hinderedt those who were going in.”
53 When he went out from there, the experts in the lawt and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly,t and to ask him hostile questionst about many things,

54 plotting againstt him, to catcht him in something he might say.
