路加福音 19

撒該悔改

1 耶穌進了耶利哥,要從那裏經過。 2 有一個人名叫撒該,作稅吏長,是個財主。 3 他要看看耶穌是怎樣的人,只因人多,他的身材又矮,所以看不見。 4 於是他跑到前頭,爬上桑樹,要看耶穌,因為耶穌要從那裏經過。 5 耶穌到了那裏,抬頭一看,對他說:「撒該,快下來!今天我必須住在你家裏。」 6 他就急忙下來,歡歡喜喜地接待耶穌。 7 眾人看見,都私下議論說:「他竟然到罪人家裏去住宿。」 8 撒該站著對主說:「主啊,我把所有的一半給窮人;我若勒索了誰,就還他四倍。」 9 耶穌對他說:「今天救恩到了這家,因為他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。 10 人子來是要尋找和拯救失喪的人。」

十錠銀子的比喻

(太25.14-30)

11 眾人正聽見這些話的時候,耶穌因為將近耶路撒冷,又因他們以為上帝的國快要顯現,就接著講了一個比喻, 12 說:「有一個貴族往遠方去,為要取得王位,然後回來。 13 他叫了自己的十個僕人來,交給他們十錠銀子,說:『你們去做生意,直到我回來。』 14 他本國的百姓卻恨他,打發使者隨後去,說:『我們不願意這個人作我們的王。』 15 他得了王位回來,就吩咐叫那領了銀子的僕人來,要知道他們做生意賺了多少。 16 頭一個上來,說:『主啊,你的一錠銀子已經賺了十錠。』 17 主人對他說:『好,我善良的僕人,你既在最小的事上忠心,你有權柄管十座城。』 18 第二個來,說:『主啊,你的一錠銀子已經賺了五錠。』 19 主人也對這個說:『你管五座城。』 20 又有一個來說:『主啊!看哪,你的一錠銀子在這裏,我把它包在手巾裏存著。 21 我向來怕你,因為你是嚴厲的人:沒有放的,也要去拿;沒有種的,也要去收。』 22 主人對他說:『你這惡僕,我要憑你的話定你的罪。你既知道我是嚴厲的人,沒有放的也去拿,沒有種的也去收, 23 為甚麼不把我的銀子存在銀行,等我來的時候,連本帶利都取回來呢?』 24 於是他對那些站在旁邊的人說:『把他這一錠奪過來,給那有十錠的。』 25 他們對他說:『主啊,他已經有十錠了。』 26 主人說:『我告訴你們,凡有的,還要給他;沒有的,連他所有的也要奪過來。 27 至於我那些仇敵,不要我作他們王的,把他們拉來,在我面前殺了!』」

榮入聖城

(太21.1-11;可11.1-11;約12.12-19)

28 耶穌說完了這些話,就走在前面,上耶路撒冷去。 29 快到伯法其伯大尼,在名叫橄欖山的地方,他打發兩個門徒, 30 說:「你們往對面村子裏去,進去的時候會看見一匹驢駒拴在那裏,是從來沒有人騎過的,把牠解開,牽來。 31 若有人問為甚麼解開牠,你們就這樣說:『主要用牠。』」 32 被打發的人去了,所遇見的正如耶穌對他們所說的。 33 他們解開驢駒的時候,主人問他們:「為甚麼解開驢駒?」 34 他們說:「主要用牠。」 35 他們把驢駒牽到耶穌那裏,把自己的衣服搭在上面,扶耶穌騎上。 36 他前進的時候,眾人把衣服鋪在路上。

37 他將近耶路撒冷,正下橄欖山的時候,一大群門徒因所見過的一切異能,都歡呼起來,大聲讚美上帝, 38 說: 「奉主名來的王t是應當稱頌的! 在天上有和平; 在至高之處有榮光。」

39 人群中有幾個法利賽人對耶穌說:「老師,責備你的門徒吧!」 40 耶穌回答:「我告訴你們,若是這些人閉口不說,石頭也要呼叫起來。」 41 耶穌快到耶路撒冷,看見那城,就為它哀哭, 42 說:「但願你在這日子知道有關你平安的事,不過這事現在是隱藏的,你的眼睛看不出來。 43 因為日子將到,你的仇敵要築起土壘包圍你,四面困住你, 44 並要消滅你和你裏頭的兒女,連一塊石頭也不留在另一塊石頭上,因為你不知道你蒙眷顧的時候。」

潔淨聖殿

(太21.12-17;可11.15-19;約2.13-22)

45 耶穌一進聖殿就趕出在裏面做買賣的人, 46 對他們說:「經上說: 『我的殿是禱告的殿, 你們倒使它成為賊窩了。』」

47 耶穌天天在聖殿裏教導人。祭司長、文士和百姓的領袖都想殺他, 48 但找不出方法來,因為百姓都側耳聽他。

LUKE 19

Zacchaeus

1 Jesus was going through Jericho, 2 where a man named Zacchaeus lived. He was in charge of collecting taxest and was very rich.

3-4 Jesus was heading his way, and Zacchaeus wanted to see what he was like. But Zacchaeus was a short man and could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree.
5 When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down! I want to stay with you today.”

6 Zacchaeus hurried down and gladly welcomed Jesus.

7 Everyone who saw this started grumbling, “This man Zacchaeus is a sinner! And Jesus is going home to eat with him.”

8 Later that day Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “I will give half of my property to the poor. And I will now pay back four times as mucht to everyone I have ever cheated.”
9 Jesus said to Zacchaeus, “Today you and your family have been saved, t because you are a true son of Abraham.t

10 t The Son of Man came to look for and to save people who are lost.”

A Story about Ten Servants

(Matthew 25.14-30)


11  t The crowd was still listening to Jesus as he was getting close to Jerusalem. Many of them thought that God's kingdom would soon appear,

12 and Jesus told them this story:
A prince once went to a foreign country to be crowned king and then to return.

13 But before leaving, he called in ten servants and gave each of them some money. He told them, “Use this to earn more money until I get back.”

14 But the people of his country hated him, and they sent messengers to the foreign country to say, “We don't want this man to be our king.”

15 After the prince had been made king, he returned and called in his servants. He asked them how much they had earned with the money they had been given.

16 The first servant came and said, “Sir, with the money you gave me I have earned ten times as much.”

17 “That's fine, my good servant!” the king said. “Since you have shown that you can be trusted with a small amount, you will be given ten cities to rule.”

18 The second one came and said, “Sir, with the money you gave me, I have earned five times as much.”

19 The king said, “You will be given five cities.”
20 Another servant came and said, “Sir, here is your money. I kept it safe in a handkerchief.

21 You are a hard man, and I was afraid of you. You take what isn't yours, and you harvest crops you didn't plant.”
22 “You worthless servant!” the king told him. “You have condemned yourself by what you have just said. You knew I am a hard man, taking what isn't mine and harvesting what I've not planted.

23 Why didn't you put my money in the bank? On my return, I could have had the money together with interest.”

24 Then he said to some other servants standing there, “Take the money away from him and give it to the servant who earned ten times as much.”

25 But they said, “Sir, he already has ten times as much!”
26  t The king replied, “Those who have something will be given more. But everything will be taken away from those who don't have anything.

27 Now bring me the enemies who didn't want me to be their king. Kill them while I watch!”

Jesus Enters Jerusalem

(Matthew 21.1-11; Mark 11.1-11; John 12.12-19)


28 When Jesus had finished saying all this, he went on toward Jerusalem. 29 As he was getting near Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples on ahead. 30 He told them, “Go into the next village, where you will find a young donkey that has never been ridden. Untie the donkey and bring it here.

31 If anyone asks why you are doing this, just say, ‘The Lordt needs it.’ ”
32 They went off and found everything just as Jesus had said.

33 While they were untying the donkey, its owners asked, “Why are you doing that?”

34 They answered, “The Lordt needs it.”
35 Then they led the donkey to Jesus. They put some of their clothes on its back and helped Jesus get on. 36 And as he rode along, the people spread clothes on the roadt in front of him. 37 When Jesus started down the Mount of Olives, his large crowd of disciples were happy and praised God because of all the miracles they had seen.

38 t They shouted,
“Blessed is the king who comes
in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven
and glory to God.”

39 Some Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, make your disciples stop shouting!”

40 But Jesus answered, “If they keep quiet, these stones will start shouting.”
41 When Jesus came closer and could see Jerusalem, he cried

42 and said:
It is too bad that today your people don't know what will bring them peace! Now it is hidden from them.
43 Jerusalem, the time will come when your enemies will build walls around you to attack you. Armies will surround you and close in on you from every side.

44 They will level you to the ground and kill your people. Not one stone in your buildings will be left on top of another. This will happen because you did not see that God had come to save you.t

Jesus in the Temple

(Matthew 21.12-17; Mark 11.15-19; John 2.13-22)


45 When Jesus entered the temple, he started chasing out the people who were selling things.

46 t He told them, “The Scriptures say, ‘My house should be a place of worship.’ But you have made it a place where robbers hide!”
47  t Each day, Jesus kept on teaching in the temple. So the chief priests, the teachers of the Law of Moses, and some other important people tried to have him killed. 48 But they could not find a way to do it, because everyone else was eager to listen to him.
