1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. 11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
1 那时有成千上万的人聚在一起， 甚至彼此践踏。耶稣就先对门徒说： "你们要提防法利赛人的酵， 就是虚伪。
2 没有什么掩盖的事不被揭露， 也没有什么隐藏的事不被人知道。
3 所以， 你们在暗处所说的， 必在明处被人听见； 在内室附耳所谈的， 必在房顶上宣扬出来。
4 "我的朋友， 我告诉你们， 那杀身体以后不能再作什么的， 不要怕他们。
5 我要指示你们当怕的是谁： 当怕那杀身体以后， 有权把人投入地狱里的； 我告诉你们， 应当怕他。
6 五只麻雀， 不是卖两个大钱吗？但在 神面前， 一只也不被忘记。
7 甚至你们的头发都一一数过了。不要怕， 你们比许多麻雀贵重得多呢。
8 "我告诉你们， 凡在人面前承认我的， 人子在 神的使者面前也承认他；
9 在人面前不认我的， 我在 神的使者面前也不认他。
10 凡说话得罪人子的， 还可以赦免； 但亵渎圣灵的， 必不得赦免。
11 人把你们拉到会堂、官长和当权者的面前， 你们不要思虑怎样申辩或说什么话。
12 到了时候， 圣灵必把当说的话教导你们。"
13 群众中有一个人对耶稣说： "老师， 请吩咐我的兄弟和我分家业。"
14 耶稣说： "你这个人， 谁立我作你们的审判官和分家业的人呢？"
15 于是他对众人说： "你们要谨慎， 远离一切贪心， 因为人的生命并不在于家道丰富。"
16 就对他们讲了一个比喻， 说： "有一个富翁的田地丰收。
17 他自己心里说： ‘怎么办呢？因为我没有足够的地方收藏出产了！ ’
18 又说： ‘我要这样办： 我要拆掉这些仓房， 建造更大的， 好在那里收藏我的一切粮食和货物。
19 然后， 我要对我的灵魂说： 灵魂啊， 你拥有许多好东西， 足够多年享用， 只管安安逸逸地吃喝快乐吧！ ’
20 神却对他说： ‘无知的人哪， 今天晚上， 你拥有的就要取去你的灵魂， 你所预备的要归给谁呢？’
21 凡为自己积财， 在 神面前却不富足的， 也是这样。"
22 耶稣又对门徒说： "所以我告诉你们， 不要为生命忧虑吃什么， 也不要为身体忧虑穿什么。
23 因为生命比饮食重要， 身体比衣服重要。
24 你们想想乌鸦： 它们不种也不收， 无仓又无库， 神尚且养活它们； 你们比飞鸟贵重得多了。
25 你们中间谁能用忧虑使自己的寿命延长一刻呢？
26 既然连这极小的事都不能作， 为什么还忧虑其他的事呢？
27 你们想想百合花， 怎样不劳苦， 也不纺织。但我告诉你们， 就是所罗门最荣华的时候所穿的， 也比不上这花中的一朵呢。
28 小信的人哪， 田野的草， 今天还在， 明天就投进炉里， 神尚且这样给它装饰， 何况你们呢？
29 你们不要求吃什么， 喝什么， 也不要忧虑，
30 因为这一切都是世上不信的人所寻求的。你们的父原知道你们需要这一切。
31 你们只管求他的国， 这些东西都必加给你们。
32 你们这小群， 不要怕， 因为你们的父乐意把国赐给你们。
33 当变卖你们所有的施舍给人， 为自己制造不朽坏的钱囊， 积蓄用不尽的财宝在天上， 就是贼不能近、虫不能蛀的地方。
34 因为你们的财宝在哪里， 你们的心也在哪里。
35 "你们的腰当束起来， 灯也该点着，
36 像等候自己的主人从婚筵回来一样， 好叫你们在主人回来敲门时， 立刻给他开门。
37 主人来到了， 看见仆人警醒， 这些仆人就有福了。我实在告诉你们， 主人必亲自束腰， 招待他们吃饭， 进前来侍候他们。
38 主人也许半夜之前， 或天亮之前回来， 看见他们这样， 这些仆人就有福了。
39 你们都知道， 家主若晓得窃贼什么时候来， 就不会让他摸进屋里。
40 你们也要准备妥当， 因为在想不到的时候， 人子就来了。"
41 彼得说： "主啊， 你说这比喻， 是为我们还是为众人呢？"
42 主说： "谁是那忠心精明的管家， 被主人指派管理家里的仆人， 按时分粮呢？
43 主人来到的时候， 看见他这样作， 那仆人就有福了。
44 我实在告诉你们， 主人要指派他管理主人的一切财产。
45 如果那仆人心里说： ‘我的主人不会那么快回来’， 就动手打其他的仆人使女， 并且吃喝醉酒；
46 在他想不到的日子、不知道的时间， 那仆人的主人要来， 严厉地处罚他， 使他和不信的人同在一起。
47 那仆人知道主人的意思， 却不预备， 也不照他的意思行， 必多受责打；
48 但那不知道的， 虽然作了该受责打的事， 也必少受责打。多给谁就向谁多取， 多托谁就向谁多要。
49 "我来要把火投在地上， 如果烧了起来， 那是我所愿意的。
50 我有应当受的洗， 我是多么迫切地期待这事完成。
51 你们以为我来是要地上有和平吗？不是的， 我告诉你们， 是要有纷争。
52 从今以后， 一家五口将起纷争， 三个反对两个， 两个反对三个。
53 他们将起纷争： 父亲反对儿子， 儿子反对父亲， 母亲反对女儿， 女儿反对母亲， 婆婆反对媳妇， 媳妇反对婆婆。"
54 耶稣又对众人说： "你们一看见西边有云彩升起来， 就说： ‘要下大雨’， 果然这样；
55 起了南风， 就说： ‘天要热了’， 也果然这样。
56 伪君子啊！ 你们知道分辨天地的气象， 怎么不知道分辨这个时代呢？
57 "你们为什么自己不能判断什么是对的呢？
58 你和你的对头去见官长， 还在路上的时候， 应当尽力向他求和， 免得他把你拉到法官面前， 法官把你交给差役， 差役把你关在监里。
59 我告诉你， 除非你还清最后的一个小钱， 否则决不能从那里出来。"
