路加福音 11
論禱告
（太6．9－15；7．7－11）
1 耶穌在一個地方禱告。禱告完了，有個門徒對他說：「主啊，求你教導我們禱告，像約翰教導他的門徒一樣。」 2 耶穌對他們說：「你們禱告的時候，要說： 『父啊，t 願人都尊你的名為聖； 願你的國降臨；t
3 我們日用的飲食，天天賜給我們。
4 赦免我們的罪， 因為我們也赦免凡虧欠我們的人。 不叫我們陷入試探。t』」
5 耶穌又對他們說：「你們中間誰有一個朋友半夜到他那裏去，對他說：『朋友！請借給我三個餅； 6 因為我有一個朋友旅途中來到我這裏，我沒有東西招待他。』 7 那人在裏面回答：『不要打擾我，門已經關了，孩子們也同我在床上了，我不能起來給你。』 8 我告訴你們，雖不因他是朋友起來給他，也會因他不顧面子地直求，起來照他所需要的給他。 9 我又告訴你們，祈求，就給你們；尋找，就找到；叩門，就給你們開門。 10 因為凡祈求的，就得著；尋找的，就找到；叩門的，就給他開門。 11 你們中間作父親的，誰有兒子t求魚，反拿蛇當魚給他呢？ 12 求雞蛋，反給他蠍子呢？ 13 你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女，何況t天父，他豈不更要把聖靈賜給求他的人嗎？」
誣蔑耶穌為別西卜
（太12．22－30；可3．20－27）
14 耶穌趕出一個使人成為啞巴的鬼t，鬼出去了，啞巴就說出話來；眾人都很驚訝。 15 其中卻有人說：「他是靠著鬼王別西卜趕鬼。」 16 又有人試探耶穌，要他顯個來自天上的神蹟。 17 他知道他們的意念，就對他們說：「一國自相紛爭，必定荒蕪；一家自相紛爭，就必敗落。 18 撒但若自相紛爭，他的國怎能立得住呢？因為你們說我是靠著別西卜趕鬼。 19 我若靠著別西卜趕鬼，你們的子弟趕鬼又靠著誰呢？這樣，他們要作你們的判官。 20 我若靠著上帝的能力趕鬼，那麼，上帝的國就已臨到你們了。 21 壯士全副武裝，看守自己的住宅，他所有的都很安全； 22 但有一個比他更強的來攻擊他，並且戰勝了他，就奪去他所倚靠的盔甲兵器，又分了他的掠物。 23 不跟我一起的，就是反對我；不與我一起收聚的，就是在拆散。」
污靈回來
（太12．43－45）
24 「污靈離了人身，走遍無水之地尋找安歇之處，卻找不到。就說：『我要回到我原來的屋裏去。』 25 他到了，看見裏面打掃乾淨，修飾好了， 26 就去另帶了七個比自己更惡的靈來，都進去住在那裏。那人後來的景況比先前更壞了。」
真正的福
27 耶穌正說這些話的時候，眾人中間有一個女人高聲對他說：「懷你胎乳養你的有福了！」 28 耶穌卻說：「更有福的是聽上帝的道而遵守的人！」
求神蹟
（太12．38－42）
29 當眾人越來越擁擠的時候，耶穌說：「這世代是一個邪惡的世代。他們求看神蹟，除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他們看了。 30 約拿怎樣為尼尼微人成了神蹟，人子也要照樣為這世代的人成為神蹟。 31 在審判的時候，南方的女王要起來定這世代的人的罪，因為她從地極而來，要聽所羅門智慧的話。看哪，比所羅門更大的在這裏！ 32 在審判的時候，尼尼微人要起來定這世代的罪，因為尼尼微人聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。看哪，比約拿更大的在這裏！」
眼睛是身體的燈
（太5．15；6．22－23）
33 「沒有人點燈放在地窖裏，或是斗底下t，總是放在燈臺上，讓進來的人看見亮光。 34 你的眼睛就是身體的燈。當你的眼睛明亮，全身就光明，當眼睛昏花，全身就黑暗。 35 所以，你要注意，免得你裏面的光暗了。 36 若是你全身光明，毫無黑暗，就必全然光明，如同燈的明光照亮你。」
譴責法利賽人和文士
（太23．1－36；可12．38－40）
37 耶穌正說話的時候，有一個法利賽人請他吃飯，耶穌就進去坐席。 38 這法利賽人看見耶穌飯前不先洗手就很詫異。 39 主對他說：「如今你們法利賽人洗淨杯盤的外面，你們裏面卻滿了貪婪和邪惡。 40 無知的人哪！造外面的，不也造了裏面嗎？ 41 只要把杯盤裏面的施捨給人，對你們來說一切就都潔淨了。
42 「但是你們法利賽人有禍了！因為你們將薄荷、芸香，和各樣蔬菜獻上十分之一，疏忽了公義和愛上帝的事；這原是你們該做的—至於其他也不可忽略。 43 你們法利賽人有禍了！因為你們喜愛會堂裏的高位，又喜歡人們在街市上向你們問安。 44 你們有禍了！因為你們如同不顯露的墳墓，走在上面的人並不知道。」
45 律法師中有一個回答耶穌，說：「老師，你這樣說也把我們侮辱了。」 46 耶穌說：「你們律法師也有禍了！因為你們把難挑的擔子放在別人身上，自己卻不肯動一個指頭去減輕這些擔子。 47 你們有禍了！因為你們建造先知的墳墓，那些先知正是你們的祖宗所殺的。 48 可見你們祖宗所做的事，你們是證人，你們也贊同，因為他們殺了先知，你們建造先知的墳墓。 49 所以，上帝的智慧也曾說：『我要差遣先知和使徒到他們那裏去，有的他們要殘殺，有的他們要迫害』， 50 為使創世以來所流眾先知的血的罪都歸在這世代的人身上， 51 就是從亞伯的血起，直到被殺在祭壇和聖所中間的撒迦利亞的血為止。是的，我告訴你們，這都要向這世代的人追討。 52 你們律法師有禍了！因為你們把知識的鑰匙奪了去，自己不進去，要進去的人，你們也阻擋他們。」
53 耶穌從那裏出來，文士和法利賽人就開始極力地催逼他，盤問他許多事， 54 伺機要抓他的話柄。
LUKE 11
Prayer
(Matthew 6.9-13; 7.7-11)
1 When Jesus had finished praying, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his followers to pray.”
2 So Jesus told them, “Pray in this way:
‘Father, help us
to honor your name.
Come and set up
your kingdom.
3 Give us each day
the food we need.t
4 Forgive our sins,
as we forgive everyone
who has done wrong to us.
And keep us
from being tempted.’ ”
5 Then Jesus went on to say:
Suppose one of you goes to a friend in the middle of the night and says, “Let me borrow three loaves of bread. 6 A friend of mine has dropped in, and I don't have a thing for him to eat.”
7 And suppose your friend answers, “Don't bother me! The door is bolted, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you something.”
8 He may not get up and give you the bread, just because you are his friend. But he will get up and give you as much as you need, simply because you are not ashamed to keep on asking.
9 So I tell you to ask and you will receive, search and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you. 10 Everyone who asks will receive, everyone who searches will find, and the door will be opened for everyone who knocks. 11 Which one of you fathers would give your hungry child a snake if the child asked for a fish? 12 Which one of you would give your child a scorpion if the child asked for an egg?
13 As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks.Jesus and the Ruler //of Demons
(Matthew 12.22-30; Mark 3.20-27)
14 Jesus forced a demon out of a man who could not talk. And after the demon had gone out, the man started speaking, and the crowds were amazed.
15 t But some people said, “He forces out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons!”
16 t Others wanted to put Jesus to the test. So they asked him to show them a sign from God.
17 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said:
A kingdom where people fight each other will end up in ruin. And a family that fights will break up. 18 If Satan fights against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I force out demons by the power of Beelzebul. 19 If I use his power to force out demons, whose power do your own followers use to force them out? They are the ones who will judge you.
20 But if I use God's power to force out demons, it proves that God's kingdom has already come to you.
21 When a strong man arms himself and guards his home, everything he owns is safe. 22 But if a stronger man comes and defeats him, he will carry off the weapons in which the strong man trusted. Then he will divide with others what he has taken.
23 t If you are not on my side, you are against me. If you don't gather in the crop with me, you scatter it.Return of an Evil Spirit
(Matthew 12.43-45)
24 When an evil spirit leaves a person, it travels through the desert, looking for a place to rest. But when it doesn't find a place, it says, “I will go back to the home I left.” 25 When it gets there and finds the place clean and fixed up,
26 it goes off and finds seven other evil spirits even worse than itself. They all come and make their home there, and that person ends up in worse shape than before.Being Really Blessed
27 While Jesus was still talking, a woman in the crowd spoke up, “The woman who gave birth to you and nursed you is blessed!”
28 Jesus replied, “That's true, but the people who are really blessed are the ones who hear and obey God's message!”tA Sign from God
(Matthew 12.38-42; Mark 8.12)
29 t As crowds were gathering around Jesus, he said:
You people of today are evil! You keep looking for a sign from God. But what happened to Jonaht is the only sign you will be given. 30 t Just as Jonah was a sign to the people of Nineveh, the Son of Man will be a sign to the people of today. 31 t When the judgment comes, the Queen of the Southt will stand there with you and condemn you. She traveled a long way to hear Solomon's wisdom, and yet here is something far greater than Solomon.
32 t The people of Nineveh will also stand there with you and condemn you. They turned to God when Jonah preached, and yet here is something far greater than Jonah.Light
(Matthew 5.15; 6.22,23)
33 t No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a clay pot. A lamp is put on a lampstand, so everyone who comes into the house can see the light. 34 Your eyes are the lamp for your body. When your eyes are good, you have all the light you need. But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark. 35 So be sure your light isn't darkness.
36 If you have light, and nothing is dark, then light will be everywhere, as when a lamp shines brightly on you.Jesus Condemns the Pharisees //and Teachers of the Law of Moses
(Matthew 23.1-36; Mark 12.38-40; Luke 20.45-47)
37 When Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him home for a meal. Jesus went and sat down to eat.t 38 The Pharisee was surprised that he did not wash his handst before eating.
39 So the Lord said to him:
You Pharisees clean the outside of cups and dishes, but on the inside you are greedy and evil. 40 You fools! Didn't God make both the outside and the inside?t
41 If you would only give what you have to the poor, everything you do would please God.
42 t You Pharisees are in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your gardens, such as mint and rue. But you cheat people, and you don't love God. You should be fair and kind to others and still give a tenth to God.
43 You Pharisees are in for trouble! You love the front seats in the synagogues, and you like to be greeted with honor in the market.
44 But you are in for trouble! You are like unmarked gravest that people walk on without even knowing it.
45 A teacher of the Law of Moses spoke up, “Teacher, you said cruel things about us.”
46 Jesus replied:
You teachers are also in for trouble! You load people down with heavy burdens, but you won't lift a finger to help them carry the loads. 47 Yes, you are really in for trouble. You build monuments to honor the prophets your own people murdered long ago.
48 You must think that was the right thing for your people to do, or else you would not have built monuments for the prophets they murdered.
49 Because of your evil deeds, the Wisdom of God said, “I will send prophets and apostles to you. But you will murder some and mistreat others.” 50 You people living today will be punished for all the prophets who have been murdered since the beginning of the world.
51 t This includes every prophet from the time of Abel to the time of Zechariah, t who was murdered between the altar and the temple. You people will certainly be punished for all of this.
52 You teachers of the Law of Moses are really in for trouble! You carry the keys to the door of knowledge about God. But you never go in, and you keep others from going in.
53 Jesus was about to leave, but the teachers and the Pharisees wanted to get even with him. They tried to make him say what he thought about other things, 54 so they could catch him saying something wrong.
