路加福音 19

税吏长撒该

1 耶稣进了耶利哥，正经过的时候，2 有一个人名叫撒该，是税吏长，又很富有。3 他想看看耶稣是怎么样的，因为人多，他又身材矮小，就看不见。4 于是他跑到前头，爬上一棵桑树，要看看耶稣，因为耶稣就要从那里经过。5 耶稣到了那里，往上一看，对他说：“撒该，快下来，今天我要住在你家里。”6 他就赶快下来，欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣。7 众人看见就纷纷议论说：“他竟到罪人家里去住宿！”8 撒该站着对主说：“主啊，请看，我要把家财的一半分给穷人，我若敲诈了谁，就还他四倍。”9 耶稣说：“今天救恩到了这家，他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。10 因为人子来，是要寻找拯救失丧的人。”
十个仆人的比喻11 众人听这些话的时候，因为耶稣已经接近耶路撒冷，又因他们以为 神的国快要出现，他就讲了一个比喻，12 说：“有一个贵族往远方去要接受王位，然后回来。13 他叫了自己的十个仆人来，给他们一千银币，说：‘你们拿去作生意，等到我回来。’14 他本国的人却恨他，就派使者跟着去说：‘我们不愿意这个人作王统治我们。’15 他得了王位回来，就吩咐把那些领了钱的仆人召来，要知道他们作生意赚了多少。16 第一个走过来说：‘主啊，你的一百银币，已经赚了一千。’17 主人说：‘好，良善的仆人，你既然在最小的事上忠心，可以有权管理十座城。’18 第二个来说：‘主啊，你的一百银币，已经赚了五百。’19 主人说：‘你可以管理五座城。’20 另一个来说：‘主啊，你看，你的一百银币，我一直保存在手巾里，21 因为我怕你，你一向是严厉的人，没有存的要提取，没有种的要收割。’22 主人说：‘可恶的仆人！我要凭你的口定你的罪。你知道我是严厉的人，没有存的要提取，没有种的要收割吗？23 那你为甚么不把我的钱存入银行，等我回来的时候，把它连本带利取回来呢？’24 他就对侍卫说：‘夺过他的一百银币，给那有一千的。’25 他们说：‘主啊，他已经有一千银币了。’26 主人说：‘我告诉你们，凡是有的，还要给他；没有的，就算他有甚么也要拿去。27 至于我那些仇敌，就是不愿意我作王统治他们的，把他们拉到这里来，在我面前杀掉！’”
骑驴进耶路撒冷28 耶稣讲完这些话，就往前走，上耶路撒冷去。29 将到伯法其和伯大尼，就在橄榄山那里，他差派两个门徒，30 说：“你们往对面的村子里去，走进去的时候，就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的小驴，拴在那里，把牠解开牵来。31 如果有人问为甚么解开牠，你们要这样说：‘主需要牠。’”32 被差的人去了，发现和主所说的一样。33 他们解开小驴的时候，主人问他们：“你们为甚么解开牠？”34 他们说：“主需要牠。”35 他们把小驴牵到耶稣那里，把自己的衣服搭在上面，扶着耶稣上去。36 耶稣前行的时候，众人把自己的衣服铺在路上。37 他走近耶路撒冷，快要下橄榄山的时候，全体门徒因为所看见的一切神蹟，就欢乐起来，大声讚美 神，38 说：
“奉主名来的王，
是应当称颂的！
在天上有和平，
在至高之处有荣耀！”39 群众中有几个法利赛人对他说：“先生，责备你的门徒吧！”40 耶稣说：“我告诉你们，他们若不出声，石头都要呼叫了。”
为耶路撒冷哀哭41 耶稣走近耶路撒冷的时候，看见了城，就为城哀哭，42 说：“巴不得你在这日子，知道关于你平安的事，但现在这事在你眼前是隐藏的。43 日子将到，你的仇敌必筑垒攻击你，周围环绕你，四面困住你，44 要摧毁你和你里面的儿女，没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面，因为你不知道那眷顾你的时期。”
洁净圣殿45 耶稣进了圣殿，就赶走作买卖的人，46 对他们说：“经上记着：
‘我的殿是祷告的殿’，
你们竟把它弄成贼窝了。”47 他天天在圣殿里教导人，祭司长、经学家和民间的首领，都想杀害他；48 但他们不知道要怎样下手，因为众人都围着他，听他的教训。

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
