路加福音 11

祷告的典范

1 有一次，耶稣在一个地方祷告。祷告完了，他的一个门徒对他说：“主啊，求你教我们祷告，就像约翰教导他的门徒们那样。”

2 耶稣就对他们说：


“你们祷告的时候，要说：‘父t啊，愿你的名被尊为圣，愿你的国度来临t。

3 我们日用的食粮，愿你天天赐给我们。

4 愿你饶恕我们的罪，因为我们也饶恕所有亏欠我们的人。不要让我们陷入试探t。’”

不断祈求

5 耶稣又对他们说：“假如你们当中谁有一个朋友，就半夜到朋友那里去，对他说：‘朋友，请借给我三个饼，6 因为有一个朋友旅途中来到我这里，我没有什么可以招待他。’7 那个人从里面回答说：‘请不要烦扰我。门已经关上了，我与孩子们也已经上了床，不能起来拿给你。’8 我告诉你们：即使不因着是朋友而起来拿给他，还是会因着他毫无羞愧地求，就起来把他所要的拿给他。

9 “我还告诉你们：不断祈求吧，就会给你们；不断寻找吧，就会找到；不断敲门吧，就会为你们开门。10 因为凡祈求的，就得到；寻找的，就找到；敲门的，就为他开门。11 你们当中有哪个做父亲的，儿子要鱼t，反而拿蛇当做t鱼给他呢t？12 儿子要鸡蛋，却给他蝎子呢t？13 所以，如果你们做为恶人也知道把好的东西给自己的儿女，更何况天上的父要赐圣灵给求他的人呢！”

自相纷争

14 有一次，耶稣正在驱赶一个使人成为哑巴的鬼魔。鬼魔一出去，哑巴就说出话来，众人都感到惊奇。15 但其中有些人却说：“他是靠鬼魔的王别西卜驱赶鬼魔的。”16 另有些人试探耶稣，向他要求一个从天上来的神迹。

17 耶稣知道他们的想法，就对他们说：“任何一个国家，如果自相分裂就成为荒芜；一个家庭，如果自相分裂也会败落。18 同样，如果撒旦自相纷争t，它的国怎么能站立得住呢？尽管这样，你们竟然说我是靠别西卜驱赶鬼魔的。19 如果我是靠别西卜驱赶鬼魔，那么，你们的子弟是靠谁驱赶鬼魔呢？为此，你们的子弟就将要成为你们的审判者了。20 可是，如果我藉着神的能力t驱赶鬼魔，那么，神的国就已经临到你们了。21 当一个壮士全副武装地看守自己家园的时候，他所拥有的就平安无事。22 可是比他更强的人一旦来到，并且胜过了他，就会夺走他所依靠的盔甲兵器，又把掠夺物分给别人。23 不与我在一起的，就是在反对我；不与我一起收集的，就是在拆散。

污灵返回

24 “有个污灵从一个人身上出来以后，走遍无水之地，寻找安歇的地方，却找不到，就说：‘我要回到我离开的那屋里去。’25 于是它回去，发现那里已被打扫干净，摆设整齐，26 就去带了另外七个比自己更邪恶的灵，进去住在那里。那个人最后的情况就比先前更坏了。”

真正的福气

27 耶稣正说这些话的时候，人群中有一个妇人高声对他说：“那怀你胎又哺育你的是蒙福的！”

28 耶稣说：“那听了神的话语t又遵守的人，才真是蒙福的！”

约拿的神迹

29 那时，人群越聚越多，耶稣就开始说：“这世代是个邪恶的世代t，它在寻求神迹；可是除了约拿t的神迹以外，不会有神迹赐给它了。30 就是说，约拿怎样成了对尼尼微人的一个神迹t，人子也将照样成为对这世代的一个神迹。31 在审判的时候，南方的女王t将要与这世代的人一起复活t，并且要定他们的罪，因为她从极远的地方来，要听所罗门智慧的话语。看，比所罗门更大的就在这里！32 在审判的时候，尼尼微人将要与这世代一起复活t，并且要定这世代的罪，因为尼尼微人因着约拿的传道就悔改了。看，比约拿更大的就在这里！

身体的灯

33 “没有人点上油灯，放在隐藏的地方t或斗t底下t，而是放在灯台上，好让进来的人能看见光。34 你的眼睛是身体的灯。当你的眼睛纯净t的时候，你的全身就光明；你的眼睛一旦污浊，你的全身就黑暗。35 所以你要留心，免得你里面的光成为黑暗。36 因此，如果你全身光明，没有任何黑暗的部分，你就全然光明，好像明灯照亮着你。”

谴责宗教的伪善

37 耶稣说话的时候，有一个法利赛人请耶稣到他家里吃饭，于是耶稣进去坐席。38 那个法利赛人看见耶稣午餐之前不行洗净礼，感到惊奇。39 主就对他说：“如今你们法利赛人洗净杯子、盘子的外面，但你们里面却充满着贪心和恶意。40 你们这些愚妄的人！那位造了外面的，不也造了里面吗？41 不过你们当把里面的施舍给人，看哪，对你们来说一切就都洁净了。

42 “你们法利赛人有祸了！因为你们奉献薄荷、芸香和各种蔬菜的十分之一，却废弃了公义和属神的爱。这些事是你们应该做的，至于前者也不可忽略。

43 “你们法利赛人有祸了！因为你们喜爱会堂里的首位，喜爱街市上的致敬问候。

44 “你们有祸了t！因为你们好像没有标志的坟墓，人走在上面也不知道。”

45 有一个律法师对耶稣说：“老师，你说这些话，把我们也侮辱了。”

46 耶稣说：“你们这些律法师也有祸了！因为你们使人背负难挑的重担t，但自己却连一根指头也不肯碰它们一下。

47 “你们有祸了！因为你们建造先知的坟墓t，而你们的祖先是杀害他们的。48 因此对你们祖先的行为，你们是见证人，你们也赞同，因为他们杀害了先知们，你们就建造先知的坟墓t。49 为此，神的智慧也曾说：‘我将要差派先知和使徒到他们那里去。有些他们要杀害，有些他们要逼迫。’50 这是为要向这世代追讨那从创世以来所流的众先知的血，

51 就是从亚伯的血起，直到在祭坛和圣所t之间被杀的撒迦利亚的血为止。“是的，我告诉你们：这世代将要为此被追讨。

52 “你们这些律法师有祸了！因为你们拿去了知识的钥匙，你们自己不进去，还阻止正要进去的人。”

53 耶稣从那里出来t，法利赛人和经文士们就开始激烈地敌视他，还盘问他许多问题，54 暗中等机会，要从他的口中抓住把柄t。

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.
