路加福音 7

百夫长的信心

1 当耶稣向民众t说完了这一切话t，就进了迦百农。2 有个百夫长所重视的奴仆病得快要死了。3 百夫长听说了耶稣的事，就托几个犹太人的长老到耶稣那里，求耶稣来救他的奴仆。4 他们来到耶稣那里，殷切地求他说：“这人配得你的帮助，5 因为他爱我们的同胞，还为我们建了会堂。”6 于是耶稣与他们一起去了。当耶稣离他家不远的时候，百夫长又托了几个朋友来对耶稣说：“主啊，不用麻烦了，我实在不配请你进我家，7 我自己也觉得不配到你那里去。只要你说一句话，我的仆人就会痊愈的。8 事实上，我也被放在人的权下，也有士兵在我之下。我对这个说‘去’，他就去；对那个说‘来’，他就来；对我的奴仆说‘做这事’，他就去做。”

9 耶稣听了这些话，十分感慨，转过身来对跟随他的那群人说：“我告诉你们：在以色列我没有见过这么大的信心t。”10 那些受托的人回到家里时，发现那t奴仆已经痊愈了。

寡妇之子复活

11 第二天，耶稣往一个叫做拿因的城去，他的t门徒们和一大群人也与他同行。12 当他接近城门口的时候，看哪，有一个死人被抬出来了。这人是独生儿子，他的母亲又是寡妇。一大群城里的人陪着她。13 主看见那寡妇，就对她动了怜悯之心，向她说：“不要哭了！”14 于是耶稣上前去，按着棺架，抬棺架的人就停住了。耶稣说：“年轻人，我吩咐你起来！”

15 那死人就坐了起来，开始说话。耶稣把他交给他的母亲。16 每个人敬畏不已，就不住地荣耀神，说：“我们中间兴起了一位伟大的先知！”又说：“神临到t他的子民了！”17 于是有关耶稣的这消息传遍了整个犹太和周围所有的地区。

论施洗约翰

18 约翰的门徒们把这一切事都告诉了约翰。他就叫来他的两个门徒，19 派他们到主t那里去问：“将要来的那一位就是你吗？还是我们应该等候另一位呢？”

20 那两个人来到耶稣那里，说：“施洗者t约翰派我们来问你：‘将要来的那一位就是你吗？还是我们应该等候另一位呢？’”

21 就在那t时候，耶稣治愈了许多有疾病的、有苦痛的、被邪灵附着的人，又施恩给许多瞎眼的使他们能看见。22 于是耶稣t回答那两个人，说：“你们去把所看见、所听见的告诉约翰，就是：瞎眼的得以看见，瘸腿的行走，麻风病人被洁净，耳聋的听见，死人得以复活，穷人得以听到福音。23 凡不因我被绊倒t的人，就蒙福了。”24 约翰的使者离开了，耶稣就开始对众人谈起约翰，说：“你们曾经到旷野去，是要观看什么呢？一根被风吹动的芦苇吗？25 你们出去，究竟是要看什么呢？一个身穿细软衣服的人吗？看哪，那些穿华丽衣服、生活放荡的人在王宫里。26 你们出去，究竟是要看什么呢？一位先知吗？是的，我告诉你们：他比先知还大。

27 他就是经上记载的那个人：‘看哪，我要差派我的使者在你前头，他要在你之前预备你的道t。’t

28 “我告诉你们：在女人所生的人中，没有一个t比约翰t更大的；然而在神的国里，再小的也比约翰更大。”

29 所有已经受过约翰洗礼的民众和税吏，听了这话，都承认神是义的；30 而没有受过他洗礼的法利赛人和律法师们，就弃绝了神对他们的计划。

麻木的世代

31 主又说：t“我要把这世代的人比做什么呢？他们好比什么呢？

32 他们就好比：孩子们坐在街市上，彼此呼叫，说：‘我们为你们吹笛，你们却不跳舞；我们唱哀歌，你们也不哭泣。’

33 “因为施洗者t约翰来了，不吃饼，也不喝酒，你们就说：‘他有鬼魔附身！’34 人子来了，也吃也喝，你们就说：‘看，这个贪食好酒的人！税吏和罪人的朋友！’35 然而，智慧是凭着智慧的众儿女被证明为义的。”

赦免多爱就多

36 有一个法利赛人请耶稣与他一起吃饭，耶稣就进到那法利赛人的家里坐席。37 当时，城里有一个女人，是个罪人，她知道耶稣在那法利赛人家里坐席，就拿着一个盛了香液的玉瓶来。38 她站在耶稣后面，在他的脚边哭泣，开始用泪水沾湿耶稣的脚，再用自己的头发擦干，又亲吻他的脚，用香液膏抹。

39 那邀请耶稣的法利赛人看见了，心里说：“这个人如果是先知，就会知道摸他的是谁，是个什么样的女人，因为她是个罪人。”

40 耶稣对他说：
“西门，我有话要对你说。”说：“老师，请说。”

41 “有一个债主有两个欠债人。一个欠五百个银币t，另一个欠五十个银币。42 他们无力偿还，债主就免了他们两个人的债。那么，你说t他们哪一个会更爱那债主呢？”

43 西门回答说：“我想是债主免债更多的那一个。”
耶稣说：“你判断得对。”44 于是，他转向那女人，对西门说：“你看见这个女人吗？我进了你的家，你没有给我水洗脚，但她却用泪水沾湿我的脚，又用她的头发擦干。45 你没有向我行亲吻礼，而她从我进来的时候起，就不停地亲我的脚。46 你没有用油来膏抹我的头，她却用香液膏抹我的脚。47 故此，我告诉你：她的罪孽被赦免得多，所以t她爱得多；而那被赦免少的，就爱得少。”48 接着，耶稣对那女人说：“你的罪孽已经被赦免了。”

49 那些与他一同坐席的人就心里想：“这个人是谁，竟然赦免罪？”

50 但耶稣对那女人说：“你的信救了你，平平安安地去吧。”

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.”
