路加福音 7

治好百夫長的僕人

1 耶穌向群眾講完這一切話，就進了迦百農。2 有百夫長所重用的一個奴僕，病得快要死了。3 百夫長聽見耶穌的事，就打發猶太人中幾個長老到他那裡，求他去醫治他的奴僕。4 長老們就來見耶穌，懇切地求他說：“你給他行這事，是他配得的，5 因為他愛我們的人民，給我們建造會堂。”6 耶穌就和他們同去。離那家不遠的時候，百夫長派幾個朋友來說：“主啊，不必勞駕，因為你到舍下來，我實在不敢當，7 我也覺得沒有資格去見你；只要你說一句話，我的僕人就必好了。8 因為我自己是在別人的權下，也有兵在我以下；我對這個說：‘去！’他就去；對另一個說：‘來！’他就來；對我的僕人說：‘作這個！’他就作。”9 耶穌聽見這些話，就很驚奇，轉身對跟隨的眾人說：“我告訴你們，這樣的信心，我在以色列中從來沒有見過。”

10 奉派的人回到家裡，見那奴僕已經好了。

使拿因城寡婦的兒子復活

11 後來耶穌往拿因城去，與他同去的有門徒和一大群人。12 他走近城門的時候，有人把一個死人抬出來，是個獨生子，他母親又是個寡婦。城裡有一大群人陪著她。13 主看見了，就憐憫她，對她說：“不要哭！”14 於是上前按著槓子，抬的人就站住。他說：“青年人，我吩咐你起來！”15 那死人就坐起來，開口說話，耶穌就把他交給他母親。16 眾人都驚懼，頌讚　神說：“有偉大的先知在我們中間興起來了！”又說：“　神眷顧他的子民了！”

17 於是這話傳遍了猶太和周圍各地。

約翰派門徒去見耶穌

18 約翰的門徒把這一切事告訴約翰。他就叫了兩個門徒，19 差他們往主那裡去，說：“你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？”20 兩人來到耶穌跟前，說：“施洗的約翰差我們來問你：‘你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？’”21 就在那時候，耶穌治好許多患疾病的、遭災難的、身上有污鬼附著的，並且施恩給瞎眼的，使他們看見。22 耶穌回答他們：“你們回去，把看見和聽見的都告訴約翰，就是瞎的可以看見，跛的可以走路，患痲風的得到潔淨，聾的可以聽見，死人復活，窮人有福音聽。

23 那不被我絆倒的，就有福了。”
耶穌論約翰
24 約翰差來的人走了以後，耶穌對群眾講起約翰來，說：“你們到曠野去，是要看甚麼？被風吹動的蘆葦嗎？25 你們出去到底要看甚麼？身穿華麗衣服的人嗎？這些衣服華麗，生活奢侈的人，是在王宮裡的。26 那麼，你們出去要看甚麼？先知嗎？我告訴你們，是的。他比先知重要得多了。

27 聖經所記：
‘看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
他必在你前頭預備你的道路’，
這句話是指著他說的。28 我告訴你們，婦人所生的，沒有一個比約翰更大，然而在　神的國裡最小的比他還大。”29 眾人和稅吏受過約翰的洗禮，聽見這話，就稱　神為義。30 但法利賽人和律法師，未受過約翰的洗禮，就拒絕　神對他們的美意。31 耶穌又說：“我要把這世代的人比作甚麼呢？他們好像甚麼呢？

32 他們好像小孩子坐在巿中心，彼此呼叫，說：
‘我們給你們吹笛子，你們卻不跳舞；
我們唱哀歌，你們也不啼哭。’
33 因為施洗的約翰來了，不吃飯，不喝酒，你們說他是鬼附的。34 人子來了，又吃又喝，你們說：‘你看，這人貪食好酒，與稅吏和罪人為友。’

35 但　神的智慧，藉著他的兒女就證實是公義的了。”
赦免犯了罪的女人

36 有一個法利賽人，請耶穌同他吃飯，他就到法利賽人家去赴席。37 那城裡有一個女人，是個罪人，知道他在法利賽人家裡吃飯，就拿著一瓶香膏，38 站在耶穌背後，挨近他的腳哭，眼淚滴濕他的腳，又用自己的頭髮擦乾，不住地吻他的腳，並且抹上香膏。39 請他的法利賽人看見了，心裡說：“這人若是先知，必定知道摸他的是誰，是怎樣的女人，因為她是個罪人！”40 耶穌對他說：“西門，我有句話要對你說。”他說：“老師，請說。”41 耶穌說：“一個債主有兩個債戶，一個欠五百銀幣，一個欠五十。42 他們都無力償還，債主就把兩人豁免了。他們之中哪一個更愛他呢？”43 西門回答：“我想是那個多得恩免的。”耶穌說：“你判斷對了。”44 於是轉身向著那女人，對西門說：“你看見這女人嗎？我進了你的家，你沒有給我水洗腳，但這女人用眼淚濕了我的腳，用頭髮擦乾。45 你沒有和我親吻；但這女人，自從我進來，就不住地親我的腳。46 你沒有用油抹我的頭；但這女人用香膏抹我的腳。47 所以我告訴你，她許多罪都蒙赦免了，因為她的愛多；那赦免少的，愛就少。”48 耶穌就對她說：“你的罪赦免了。”49 跟他一起吃飯的人心裡說：“這是誰，竟然赦罪呢？”

50 耶穌對那女人說：“你的信救了你，平安地去吧！”

Luke 7

Healing the Centurion’s Slave

1 After Jesust had finished teaching all this to the people,t he entered Capernaum.ss2 A centurions theret had a slavet who was highly regarded,t but who was sick and at the point of death.3 When the centuriont heardt about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elderss to him, asking him to comet and heal his slave.4 Whent they camet to Jesus, they urgedt him earnestly,t “He is worthyt to have you do this for him,5 because he loves our nation,t and event built our synagogue.”s6 Sot Jesus went with them. Whent he was not far from the house, the centurions sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself,t for I am not worthys to have you come under my roof.7 That is whyt I did not presumet to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed.st8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me.t I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes,s and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”t9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazedt at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!”s

10 Sot when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slaves well.

Raising a Widow’s Son

11 Soont afterwards Jesust went to a townt called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.12 As he approached the town gate, a mant who had died was being carried out,t the only son of his mother (whot was a widows), and a large crowd from the townt was with her.13 Whent the Lord saw her, he had compassions for her and said to her, “Do not weep.”t14 Thent he came upt and toucheds the bier,s and those who carried it stood still. Het said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”15 Sot the dead mant sat up and began to speak, and Jesust gave him backt to his mother.16 Feart seized them all, and they began to glorifyt God, saying, “A great prophets has appearedt among us!” and “God has come to helpt his people!”

17 Thist reports about Jesust circulatedt throughoutt Judea and all the surrounding country.

Jesus and John the Baptist

18 John’st disciples informed him about all these things. Sot John calledt two of his disciples19 and sent them to Jesuss to ask,t “Are you the one who is to come,s or should we look for another?”20 Whent the men came to Jesus,t they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,t ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”t21 At that very timet Jesust cured many people of diseases, sicknesses,t and evil spirits, and grantedt sight to many who were blind.22 Sot he answered them,t “Go tells John what you have seen and heard:s The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, thet deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

23 Blessed is anyonet who takes no offense at me.”
24 Whent John’s messengers had gone, Jesust began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wildernesst to see? A reed shaken by the wind?t25 Whatt did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancyt clothes?s Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxuryt are in kings’ courts!t26 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and moret than a prophet.27 This is the one about whom it is written, ‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,twho will prepare your way before you.’s28 I tell you, among those born of women no one is greaters than John.s Yet the one who is leasts in the kingdom of Gods is greater than he is.”29 (Nowt all the people who heard this, even the tax collectors,s acknowledgedt God’s justice, because they had been baptizedt with John’s baptism.

30 However, the Phariseess and the experts in religious lawt rejected God’s purposet for themselves, because they had not been baptizedt by John.t)s
31 “To what then should I compare the peoplet of this generation, and what are they like?

32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another,t
‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance;s
we wailed in mourning,t yet you did not weep.’
33 For John the Baptist has comet eating no bread and drinking no wine,t and you say, ‘He has a demon!’s34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him,t a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’s

35 But wisdom is vindicatedt by all her children.”t

Jesus’ Anointing

36 Now one of the Phariseess asked Jesust to have dinner with him, sot he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table.t37 Thent when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesust was diningt at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jars of perfumed oil.ts38 Ast she stoodt behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Shet wiped them with her hair,t kissedt them,t and anointeds them with the perfumed oil.39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this,t he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,t he would know who and what kind of womans this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.”40 Sot Jesus answered him,ts “Simon, I have something to say to you.” He replied,t “Say it, Teacher.”41 “A certain creditors had two debtors; one owed himt five hundred silver coins,ts and the other fifty.42 When they could not pay, he canceledt the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”43 Simon answered,t “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.”t Jesust said to him, “You have judged rightly.”44 Then,t turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet,s but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.45 You gave me no kiss of greeting,t but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet.46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feets with perfumed oil.47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much;ts but the one who is forgiven little loves little.”48 Thent Jesust said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”s49 Butt those who were at the tablet with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”

50 Het said to the woman, “Your faiths has saved you;s go in peace.”
