路加福音 6

在安息日摘麥穗

（太12．1－8；可2．23－28）

1 有一個安息日t，耶穌從麥田經過。他的門徒摘了麥穗，用手搓著吃。 2 有幾個法利賽人說：「你們為甚麼做安息日不合法的事呢？」 3 耶穌回答他們：「大衛和跟從他的人飢餓時所做的事，你們沒有念過嗎？ 4 他怎麼進了上帝的居所，拿供餅吃，又給跟從的人吃呢？這餅惟獨祭司可以吃，別人都不可以吃。」 5 他又對他們說：「人子是安息日的主。」

治好萎縮的手

（太12．9－14；可3．1－6）

6 又有一個安息日，耶穌進了會堂教導人，在那裏有一個人，他的右手萎縮了。 7 文士和法利賽人窺探耶穌會不會在安息日治病，為要找把柄告他。 8 耶穌卻知道他們的意念，就對那萎縮了手的人說：「起來，站在當中！」那人就起來，站著。 9 耶穌對他們說：「我問你們，在安息日行善行惡，救命害命，哪樣是合法的呢？」 10 他就環視眾人，對那人說：「伸出手來！」他照著做，他的手就復原了。 11 他們怒氣填胸，彼此商議怎樣對付耶穌。

揀選十二使徒

（太10．1－4；可3．13－19）

12 在那些日子，耶穌出去，上山祈禱，整夜向上帝禱告。 13 到了天亮，他叫門徒來，就從他們中間挑選十二個人，稱他們為使徒。 14 這十二個人有西門（耶穌又給他起名叫彼得），還有他弟弟安得烈，又有雅各和約翰，腓力和巴多羅買， 15 馬太和多馬，亞勒腓的兒子雅各和激進黨的西門， 16 雅各的兒子猶大和後來成為出賣者的加略人猶大。

向大眾傳道

（太4．23－25）

17 耶穌和他們下了山，站在一塊平地上；在一起的有許多門徒，又有許多百姓從全猶太和耶路撒冷，並推羅、西頓的海邊來， 18 都要聽他講道，又希望耶穌醫治他們的病；還有被污靈纏磨的，也得了醫治。 19 眾人都想要摸他，因為有能力從他身上發出來，治好了他們。

論福與禍

（太5．1－12）

20 耶穌舉目看著門徒，說： 「貧窮的人有福了！ 因為上帝的國是你們的。

21 現在飢餓的人有福了！ 因為你們將得飽足。 現在哭泣的人有福了！ 因為你們將要歡笑。

22 人為人子的緣故憎恨你們，拒絕你們，辱罵你們，把你們當惡人除掉你們的名，你們就有福了！ 23 在那日，你們要歡欣雀躍，因為你們在天上的賞賜是很多的；他們的祖宗也是這樣待先知的。 24 但你們富足的人有禍了！ 因為你們已經受過安慰。

25 你們現在飽足的人有禍了！ 因為你們將要飢餓。 你們現在歡笑的人有禍了！ 因為你們將要哀慟哭泣。

26 人都說你們好的時候，你們有禍了！因為他們的祖宗也是這樣待假先知的。」

論愛仇敵

（太5．38－48；7．12）

27 「可是我告訴你們這些聽的人，要愛你們的仇敵！要善待恨你們的人！ 28 要祝福詛咒你們的人！要為凌辱你們的人禱告！ 29 有人打你的臉，連另一邊也由他打。有人拿你的外衣，連內衣也由他拿去。 30 凡求你的，就給他；有人拿走你的東西，不要討回來。

31 「你們想要人怎樣待你們，你們也要怎樣待人。 32 你們若只愛那愛你們的人，有甚麼可感謝的呢？就是罪人也愛那愛他們的人。 33 你們若善待那善待你們的人，有甚麼可感謝的呢？就是罪人也是這樣做。 34 你們若借給人，希望從他收回，有甚麼可感謝的呢？就是罪人也借給罪人，再如數收回。 35 你們倒要愛仇敵，要善待他們，並要借給人不指望償還，你們的賞賜就很多了，你們必作至高者的兒子，因為他恩待那忘恩的和作惡的。 36 你們要仁慈，像你們的父是仁慈的。」

不要評斷人

（太7．1－5）

37 「你們不要評斷別人，就不被審判；你們不要定人的罪，就不被定罪；你們要饒恕人，就必蒙饒恕。 38 你們要給人，就必有給你們的，並且用十足的升斗，連搖帶按，上尖下流地倒在你們懷裏；因為你們用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你們。」

39 耶穌又用比喻對他們說：「瞎子豈能領瞎子，兩個人不是都要掉在坑裏嗎？ 40 學生不高過老師，凡學成了的會和老師一樣。 41 為甚麼看見你弟兄眼中有刺，卻不想自己眼中有梁木呢？ 42 你不見自己眼中有梁木，怎能對你弟兄說：『讓我去掉你眼中的刺』呢？你這假冒為善的人！先去掉自己眼中的梁木，然後才能看得清楚，好去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。」

樹和果子

（太7．16－20；12．33－35）

43 「沒有好樹結壞果子，也沒有壞樹結好果子。 44 每一種樹木可以從其果子看出來。人不是從荊棘上摘無花果的，也不是從蒺藜裏摘葡萄的。 45 善人從他心裏所存的善發出善來，惡人從他所存的惡發出惡來；因為心裏所充滿的，口裏就說出來。」

兩種根基

（太7．24－27）

46 「你們為甚麼稱呼我『主啊，主啊』，卻不照我的話做呢？ 47 凡到我這裏來，聽了我的話又去做的，我要告訴你們他像甚麼人： 48 他像一個人蓋房子，把地挖深，將根基立在磐石上，到發大水的時候，水沖那房子，房子總不動搖，因為蓋造得好。 49 但聽了不去做的，就像一個人在土地上蓋房子，沒有根基，水一沖，立刻倒塌了，並且那房子損壞得很厲害。」

LUKE 6

A Question about the Sabbath

(Matthew 12.1-8; Mark 2.23-28)

1  t One Sabbath when Jesus and his disciples were walking through some wheat fields, t the disciples picked some wheat. They rubbed the husks off with their hands and started eating the grain.

2 Some Pharisees said, “Why are you picking grain on the Sabbath? You're not supposed to do that!”
3  t Jesus answered, “You surely have read what David did when he and his followers were hungry.

4 t He went into the house of God and took the sacred loaves of bread that only priests were supposed to eat. He not only ate some himself, but even gave some to his followers.”

5 Jesus finished by saying, “The Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath.”

A Man with a Paralyzed Hand

(Matthew 12.9-14; Mark 3.1-6)

6 On another Sabbatht Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, and a man with a paralyzed right hand was there.

7 Some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses kept watching Jesus to see if he would heal the man. They did this because they wanted to accuse Jesus of doing something wrong.
8 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he told the man to stand up where everyone could see him. And the man stood up.

9 Then Jesus asked, “On the Sabbath should we do good deeds or evil deeds? Should we save someone's life or destroy it?”

10 After he had looked around at everyone, he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his bad hand became completely well.

11 The teachers and the Pharisees were furious and started saying to one another, “What can we do about Jesus?”

Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10.1-4; Mark 3.13-19)

12 About that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night there. 13 The next morning he called his disciples together and chose twelve of them to be his apostles. 14 One was Simon, and Jesus named him Peter. Another was Andrew, Peter's brother. There were also James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew, Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus. The rest of the apostles were Simon, known as the Eager One, t

16 Jude, who was the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, t who later betrayed Jesus.

Jesus Teaches, Preaches, //and Heals

(Matthew 4.23-25)

17 Jesus and his apostles went down from the mountain and came to some flat, level ground. Many other disciples were there to meet him. Large crowds of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the coastal towns of Tyre and Sidon were there too. 18 These people had come to listen to Jesus and to be healed of their diseases. All who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.

19 Everyone was trying to touch Jesus, because power was going out from him and healing them all.

Blessings and Troubles

(Matthew 5.1-12)

20 Jesus looked at his disciples and said:
God will bless you people
who are poor.
His kingdom belongs to you!

21 God will bless
you hungry people.
You will have plenty
to eat!
God will bless you people
who are now crying.
You will laugh!
22  t God will bless you when others hate you and won't have anything to do with you. God will bless you when people insult you and say cruel things about you, all because you are a follower of the Son of Man.

23 t Long ago your own people did these same things to the prophets. So when this happens to you, be happy and jump for joy! You will have a great reward in heaven.

24 But you rich people
are in for trouble.
You have already had
an easy life!

25 You well-fed people
are in for trouble.
You will go hungry!
You people
who are laughing now
are in for trouble.
You are going to cry
and weep!

26 You are in for trouble when everyone says good things about you. That is what your own people said about those prophets who told lies.

Love for Enemies

(Matthew 5.38-48; 7.12a)

27 This is what I say to all who will listen to me:
Love your enemies, and be good to everyone who hates you. 28 Ask God to bless anyone who curses you, and pray for everyone who is cruel to you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, don't stop that person from slapping you on the other cheek. If someone wants to take your coat, don't try to keep back your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who asks and don't ask people to return what they have taken from you.

31 t Treat others just as you want to be treated.
32 If you love only someone who loves you, will God praise you for that? Even sinners love people who love them. 33 If you are kind only to someone who is kind to you, will God be pleased with you for that? Even sinners are kind to people who are kind to them.

34 If you lend money only to someone you think will pay you back, will God be pleased with you for that? Even sinners lend to sinners because they think they will get it all back.
35  t But love your enemies and be good to them. Lend without expecting to be paid back.t Then you will get a great reward, and you will be the true children of God in heaven. He is good even to people who are unthankful and cruel.

36 Have pity on others, just as your Father has pity on you.

Judging Others

(Matthew 7.1-5)

37 Jesus said:
Don't judge others, and God won't judge you. Don't be hard on others, and God won't be hard on you. Forgive others, and God will forgive you.

38 If you give to others, you will be given a full amount in return. It will be packed down, shaken together, and spilling over into your lap. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated.

39  t Jesus also used some sayings as he spoke to the people. He said:
Can one blind person lead another blind person? Won't they both fall into a ditch?

40 t Are students better than their teacher? But when they are fully trained, they will be like their teacher.
41 You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye.

42 How can you say, “My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye,” when you don't see the log in your own eye? You show-offs! First, get the log out of your own eye; then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye.

A Tree and Its Fruit

(Matthew 7.17-20; 12.34b,35)

43 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. 44 t You can tell what a tree is like by the fruit it produces. You cannot pick figs or grapes from thornbushes.

45 t Good people do good things because of the good in their hearts, but bad people do bad things because of the evil in their hearts. Your words show what is in your heart.

Two Builders

(Matthew 7.24-27)

46 Why do you keep on saying that I am your Lord, when you refuse to do what I say? 47 Anyone who comes and listens to me and obeys me 48 is like someone who dug down deep and built a house on solid rock. When a flood came and the river rushed against the house, it was built so well that it didn't even shake. 49 But anyone who hears what I say and doesn't obey me is like someone whose house wasn't built on solid rock. As soon as the river rushed against that house, it was smashed to pieces!
