路加福音 19

稅吏長撒該

1 耶穌進了耶利哥，正經過的時候，2 有一個人名叫撒該，是稅吏長，又很富有。3 他想看看耶穌是怎麼樣的，因為人多，他又身材矮小，就看不見。4 於是他跑到前頭，爬上一棵桑樹，要看看耶穌，因為耶穌就要從那裡經過。5 耶穌到了那裡，往上一看，對他說：“撒該，快下來，今天我要住在你家裡。”6 他就趕快下來，歡歡喜喜地接待耶穌。7 眾人看見就紛紛議論說：“他竟到罪人家裡去住宿！”8 撒該站著對主說：“主啊，請看，我要把家財的一半分給窮人，我若敲詐了誰，就還他四倍。”9 耶穌說：“今天救恩到了這家，他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。

10 因為人子來，是要尋找拯救失喪的人。”

十個僕人的比喻

11 眾人聽這些話的時候，因為耶穌已經接近耶路撒冷，又因他們以為　神的國快要出現，他就講了一個比喻，12 說：“有一個貴族往遠方去要接受王位，然後回來。13 他叫了自己的十個僕人來，給他們一千銀幣，說：‘你們拿去作生意，等到我回來。’14 他本國的人卻恨他，就派使者跟著去說：‘我們不願意這個人作王統治我們。’15 他得了王位回來，就吩咐把那些領了錢的僕人召來，要知道他們作生意賺了多少。16 第一個走過來說：‘主啊，你的一百銀幣，已經賺了一千。’17 主人說：‘好，良善的僕人，你既然在最小的事上忠心，可以有權管理十座城。’18 第二個來說：‘主啊，你的一百銀幣，已經賺了五百。’19 主人說：‘你可以管理五座城。’20 另一個來說：‘主啊，你看，你的一百銀幣，我一直保存在手巾裡，21 因為我怕你，你一向是嚴厲的人，沒有存的要提取，沒有種的要收割。’22 主人說：‘可惡的僕人！我要憑你的口定你的罪。你知道我是嚴厲的人，沒有存的要提取，沒有種的要收割嗎？23 那你為甚麼不把我的錢存入銀行，等我回來的時候，把它連本帶利取回來呢？’24 他就對侍衛說：‘奪過他的一百銀幣，給那有一千的。’25 他們說：‘主啊，他已經有一千銀幣了。’26 主人說：‘我告訴你們，凡是有的，還要給他；沒有的，就算他有甚麼也要拿去。

27 至於我那些仇敵，就是不願意我作王統治他們的，把他們拉到這裡來，在我面前殺掉！’”
28 耶穌講完這些話，就往前走，上耶路撒冷去。29 將到伯法其和伯大尼，就在橄欖山那裡，他差派兩個門徒，30 說：“你們往對面的村子裡去，走進去的時候，就會看見一頭從來沒有人騎過的小驢，拴在那裡，把牠解開牽來。31 如果有人問為甚麼解開牠，你們要這樣說：‘主需要牠。’”32 被差的人去了，發現和主所說的一樣。33 他們解開小驢的時候，主人問他們：“你們為甚麼解開牠？”34 他們說：“主需要牠。”35 他們把小驢牽到耶穌那裡，把自己的衣服搭在上面，扶著耶穌上去。

36 耶穌前行的時候，眾人把自己的衣服鋪在路上。
37 他走近耶路撒冷，快要下橄欖山的時候，全體門徒因為所看見的一切神蹟，就歡樂起來，大聲讚美　神，

38 說：
“奉主名來的王，
是應當稱頌的！
在天上有和平，
在至高之處有榮耀！”
39 群眾中有幾個法利賽人對他說：“先生，責備你的門徒吧！”

40 耶穌說：“我告訴你們，他們若不出聲，石頭都要呼叫了。”
為耶路撒冷哀哭
41 耶穌走近耶路撒冷的時候，看見了城，就為城哀哭，42 說：“巴不得你在這日子，知道關於你平安的事，但現在這事在你眼前是隱藏的。43 日子將到，你的仇敵必築壘攻擊你，周圍環繞你，四面困住你，

44 要摧毀你和你裡面的兒女，沒有一塊石頭留在另一塊石頭上面，因為你不知道那眷顧你的時期。”
潔淨聖殿

45 耶穌進了聖殿，就趕走作買賣的人，

46 對他們說：“經上記著：
‘我的殿是禱告的殿’，
你們竟把它弄成賊窩了。”
47 他天天在聖殿裡教導人，祭司長、經學家和民間的首領，都想殺害他；

48 但他們不知道要怎樣下手，因為眾人都圍著他，聽他的教訓。
質問耶穌憑甚麼權柄作事

Luke 19

Jesus and Zacchaeus

1 Jesust entered Jerichos and was passing through it.2 Nowt a man named Zacchaeus was there; he was a chief tax collectors and was rich.3 Het was trying to get a look at Jesus,t but being a short man he could not see over the crowd.t4 Sot he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore trees to see him, because Jesust was going to pass that way.5 And when Jesus came to that place, he looked ups and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly,t because I musts stay at your house today.”s6 So he came down quicklyt and welcomed Jesust joyfully.ts7 And when the peoplet saw it, they all complained,t “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”s8 But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now gives to the poor, and ift I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”9 Thent Jesus said to him, “Today salvations has come to this household,s because he too is a son of Abraham!s

10 For the Son of Man cames to seek and to save the lost.”

The Parable of the Ten Minas

11 While the people were listening to these things, Jesust proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem,s and because they thoughtt that the kingdom of Gods was going tot appear immediately.12 Therefore he said, “A noblemant went to a distant country to receives for himself a kingdom and then return.s13 And he summoned ten of his slaves,t gave them ten minas,s and said to them, ‘Do business with these until I come back.’14 But his citizenst hatedt him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this mant to be kingt over us!’15 Whent he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summonedt these slaves to whom he had given the money. He wantedt to know how much they had earneds by trading.16 Sot the first one came before him and said, ‘Sir,t your minat has made ten minas more.’17 And the kingt said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithfult in a very small matter, you will have authoritys over ten cities.’18 Thent the second one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has made five minas.’19 Sot the kingt said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’20 Then anothers slavet came and said, ‘Sir, here ist your mina that I put away for safekeepingt in a piece of cloth.t21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severet man. You withdrawt what you did not depositt and reap what you did not sow.’22 The kingt said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words,t you wicked slave!t So you knew, did you, that I was a severet man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow?23 Why then didn’t you putt my money in the bank,t so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?’24 And he said to his attendants,t ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has ten.’t25 Butt they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas already!’s26 ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more,ts but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.s

27 But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king,t bring them here and slaughtert thems in front of me!’”

The Triumphal Entry

28 After Jesust had said this, he continued on ahead,t going up to Jerusalem.ss29 Nowt when he approached Bethphages and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives,ts he sent two of the disciples,30 telling them,t “Go to the village ahead of you.t Whent you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden.t Untie it and bring it here.31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needss it.’”32 So those who were sent ahead foundt it exactlys as he had told them.33 Ast they were untying the colt, its owners asked them,t “Why are you untying that colt?”34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”35 Thent they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloakst on the colt,s and had Jesus get ont it.36 Ast he rode along, theyt spread their cloaks on the road.37 As he approached the road leading down fromt the Mount of Olives,s the whole crowd of hist disciples began to rejoicet and praises God with a loud voice for all the mighty workst they had seen:t38 “Blessed is the kingswho comes in the name of the Lord!s Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”39 Butt some of the Phariseess in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”s

40 He answered,t “I tell you, if theyt keep silent, the very stoness will cry out!”

Jesus Weeps for Jerusalem under Judgment

41 Nowt when Jesust approacheds and saw the city, he wept over it,42 saying, “If you had only known on this day,s even you, the things that make for peace!t But now they are hiddens from your eyes.43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will builds an embankments against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.

44 They will demolish youts – you and your children within your wallst – and they will not leave within you one stones on top of another,t because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”ts

Cleansing the Temple

45 Thent Jesust entered the temple courtsts and began to drive out those who were selling things there,s

46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be a house of prayer,’s but you have turned it into a dentof robbers!”s
47 Jesust was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the lawt and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinatets him,

48 butt they could not find a way to do it,t for all the people hung on his words.s
