路加福音 18

寡婦和法官的比喻

1 耶穌設一個比喻，是要人常常禱告，不可灰心。 2 說：「某城裏有一個官，不懼怕上帝，也不尊重世人。 3 那城裏有個寡婦，常到他那裏，說：『我有一個對頭，求你給我伸冤。』 4 他多日不准， 後來心裏說：『我雖不懼怕上帝，也不尊重世人， 5 只因這寡婦煩擾我，我就給她伸冤吧，免得她常來纏磨我！』」 6 主說：「你們聽這不義之官所說的話。 7 上帝的選民晝夜呼籲他，他縱然為他們忍了多時，豈不終久給他們伸冤嗎？ 8 我告訴你們，要快快地給他們伸冤了。然而，人子來的時候，遇得見世上有信德嗎？」

法利賽人和稅吏的禱告

9 耶穌向那些仗著自己是義人，藐視別人的，設一個比喻， 10 說：「有兩個人上殿裏去禱告：一個是法利賽人，一個是稅吏。 11 法利賽人站著，自言自語地禱告說：『上帝啊，我感謝你，我不像別人勒索、不義、姦淫，也不像這個稅吏。 12 我一個禮拜禁食兩次，凡我所得的都捐上十分之一。』 13 那稅吏遠遠地站著，連舉目望天也不敢，只捶著胸說：『上帝啊，開恩可憐我這個罪人！』 14 我告訴你們，這人回家去比那人倒算為義了；因為，凡自高的，必降為卑；自卑的，必升為高。」

耶穌為小孩祝福

（太19‧13－15；可10‧13－16）

15 有人抱著自己的嬰孩來見耶穌，要他摸他們；門徒看見就責備那些人。 16 耶穌卻叫他們來，說：「讓小孩子到我這裏來，不要禁止他們，因為在上帝國的正是這樣的人。 17 我實在告訴你們，凡要承受上帝國的，若不像小孩子，斷不能進去。」

富足的官尋求永生之道

（太19‧16－30；可10‧17－31）

18 有一個官問耶穌說：「良善的夫子，我該做甚麼事才可以承受永生？」 19 耶穌對他說：「你為甚麼稱我是良善的？除了上帝一位之外，再沒有良善的。 20 誡命你是曉得的：『不可姦淫；不可殺人；不可偷盜；不可作假見證；當孝敬父母。』」 21 那人說：「這一切我從小都遵守了。」 22 耶穌聽見了，就說：「你還缺少一件：要變賣你一切所有的，分給窮人，就必有財寶在天上；你還要來跟從我。」 23 他聽見這話，就甚憂愁，因為他很富足。 24 耶穌看見他，就說：「有錢財的人進上帝的國是何等的難哪！ 25 駱駝穿過針的眼比財主進上帝的國還容易呢！」 26 聽見的人說：「這樣，誰能得救呢？」 27 耶穌說：「在人所不能的事，在上帝卻能。」 28 彼得說：「看哪，我們已經撇下自己所有的跟從你了。」 29 耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，人為上帝的國撇下房屋，或是妻子、弟兄、父母、兒女， 30 沒有在今世不得百倍，在來世不得永生的。」

耶穌第三次預言受難和復活

（太20‧17－19；可10‧32－34）

31 耶穌帶著十二個門徒，對他們說：「看哪，我們上耶路撒冷去，先知所寫的一切事都要成就在人子身上。 32 他將要被交給外邦人；他們要戲弄他，凌辱他，吐唾沫在他臉上， 33 並要鞭打他，殺害他；第三日他要復活。」 34 這些事門徒一樣也不懂得，意思乃是隱藏的；他們不曉得所說的是甚麼。

治好耶利哥的瞎子

（太20‧29－34；可10‧46－52）

35 耶穌將近耶利哥的時候，有一個瞎子坐在路旁討飯。 36 聽見許多人經過，就問是甚麼事。 37 他們告訴他，是拿撒勒人耶穌經過。 38 他就呼叫說：「大衛的子孫耶穌啊，可憐我吧！」 39 在前頭走的人就責備他，不許他作聲；他卻越發喊叫說：「大衛的子孫，可憐我吧！」 40 耶穌站住，吩咐把他領過來，到了跟前，就問他說： 41 「你要我為你做甚麼？」他說：「主啊，我要能看見。」 42 耶穌說：「你可以看見！你的信救了你了。」 43 瞎子立刻看見了，就跟隨耶穌，一路歸榮耀與上帝。眾人看見這事，也讚美上帝。

Luke 18

Prayer and the Parable of the Persistent Widow

1 Thent Jesust told them a parable to show them they should alwayst pray and not lose heart.s2 He said,t “In a certain cityt there was a judges who neither feared God nor respected people.t3 There was also a widows in that cityt who kept comingt to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’4 Fort a while he refused, but later ont he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people,t5 yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me outt by her unending pleas.’”t6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says!s7 Won’tt God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry outs to him day and night?t Will he delays long to help them?

8 I tell you, he will give them justice speedily.t Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faiths on earth?”

The Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector

9 Jesust also told this parable to some who were confident that they were righteous and looked downt on everyone else.10 “Two men went ups to the temple to pray, one a Pharisees and the other a tax collector.s11 The Pharisee stood and prayed about himself like this:t ‘God, I thanks you that I am not like other people:t extortionists,t unrighteous people,s adulterers – or even like this tax collector.s12 I fast twices a week; I give a tentht of everything I get.’13 The tax collector, however, stoodt far off and would not even look upt to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, be mercifult to me, sinner that I am!’t

14 I tell you that this man went down to his home justifieds rather than the Pharisee.t For everyone who exaltss himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Jesus and Little Children

15 Now peoplet were even bringing their babiest to him for him to touch.t But when the disciples saw it, they began to scold those who brought them.t16 But Jesus called for the children,t saying, “Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of Gods belongs to such as these.s

17 I tell you the truth,t whoever does not receives the kingdom of God like a childs will nevert enter it.”

The Wealthy Ruler

18 Nowt a certain rulers asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”s19 Jesust said to him, “Why do you call me good?s No one is good except God alone.20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’”s21 The mant replied, “I have wholeheartedly obeyedt all these lawsts since my youth.”s22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you haves and give the moneyt to the poor,s and you will have treasures in heaven. Thent come, follow me.”23 But when the mant heard this he became very sad,t for he was extremely wealthy.24 When Jesus noticed this,st he said, “How hards it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!s25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needles than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”26 Those who heard this said, “Thent who can be saved?”s27 He replied, “What is impossibles for mere humanst is possible for God.”28 And Peter said, “Look, we have left everything we ownt to follow you!”t29 Thent Jesust said to them, “I tell you the truth,t there is no one who has left home or wife or brotherst or parents or children for the sake of God’s kingdom

30 who will not receive many times mores in this aget – and in the age to come, eternal life.”s

Another Prediction of Jesus’ Passion

31 Thent Jesust took the twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem,s and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.t32 For he will be handed overs to the Gentiles; he will be mocked,s mistreated,t and spat on.s33 They will flog him severelyt and kill him. Yett on the third day he will rise again.”

34 Butt the twelvet understood none of these things. Thist saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasps what Jesus meant.t

Healing a Blind Man

35 Ast Jesust approachedt Jericho,s a blind man was sitting by the road begging.36 When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was going on.37 Theyt told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.”38 Sot he called out,t “Jesus, Son of David,s have mercys on me!”39 And those who were in fronts scoldedt him to get him to be quiet, but he shouteds even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”40 Sot Jesus stopped and ordered the beggart to be brought to him. When the mant came near, Jesust asked him,41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied,t “Lord, let me see again.”t42 Jesust said to him, “Receivet your sight; your faith has healed you.”t

43 And immediately he regainedt his sight and followed Jesus,t praisings God. Whent all the people saw it, they toot gave praise to God.
