1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples."
2 He said to them, "When you pray, say,
‘Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come.
May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
Bring us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’"
5 He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’ 7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’? 8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons." 16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 "When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 "He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’ 25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first."
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!"
28 But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. 30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness. 36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table. 38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner. 39 The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. 40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you. 42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it."
45 One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."
46 He said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens. 47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute, 50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. 52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."
53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him, 54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
1 有一天， 耶稣在一个地方祈祷， 祈祷完了， 有一个门徒对他说： "主啊， 求你教导我们祷告， 像约翰教导他的门徒一样。"
2 耶稣说： "你们祷告的时候， 要说： ‘父啊， 愿你的名被尊为圣， 愿你的国降临（有些抄本在此有"愿你的旨意行在地上， 如同行在天上"一句）；
3 我们需用的食物， 求你每天赐给我们；
4 赦免我们的罪， 因为我们也饶恕所有亏负我们的人； 不要让我们陷入试探（有些抄本在此有"救我们脱离那恶者"一句）。’"
5 耶稣又对他们说： "你们当中， 谁有朋友半夜去找他， 说： ‘请你借给我三个饼，
6 因为我有一个朋友旅行来到我这里， 我没有什么可以招待他。’
7 而他却在里面回答： ‘不要麻烦我， 门已经关好了， 孩子也跟我在床上了， 我不能起来拿给你。’
8 我告诉你们， 即使不因为他是朋友而起来给他， 也会因为他厚颜地直求， 而起来照他所需要的给他。
9 我又告诉你们， 你们祈求， 就给你们； 寻找， 就寻见； 叩门， 就给你们开门。
10 因为所有祈求的就得着， 寻找的就寻见， 叩门的就给他开门。
11 你们中间作父亲的， 哪有儿子求鱼， 反拿蛇给他呢？
12 或求鸡蛋， 反给他蝎子呢？
13 你们虽然不好， 尚且知道把好东西给自己的儿女， 何况天父， 岂不更把圣灵赐给求他的人吗？"
14 耶稣赶出一个哑巴鬼， 鬼既出去， 哑巴就说起话来， 众人都希奇。
15 有人说： "他靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼。"
16 又有人试探他， 向他求一个从天上来的神迹。
17 耶稣知道他们的心意， 就对他们说： "如果一个国家自相纷争， 就必定荒凉； 如果一个家庭自相为敌， 就必然败落。
18 如果撒但自相纷争， 他的国怎能站立得住呢？你们说我靠别西卜赶鬼，
19 我若靠别西卜赶鬼， 你们的子孙赶鬼又靠谁呢？因此， 他们必要作你们的审判官。
20 我若靠 神的能力赶鬼， 这就是 神的国临到你们了。
21 一个壮汉拿着武器， 看守自己的家园， 他的家财就平安无事。
22 但是一个比他更强的人来了， 胜过了他， 夺去他所倚靠的武器， 就把他的家财当作掠物分了。
23 不站在我这一边的就是反对我的； 不跟从一起收聚的就是分散的。
24 "一个污灵离开了一个人， 走遍干旱之地， 寻找栖身的地方， 却没有找到， 就说： ‘我要回到我从前离开了的那房子。’
25 到了之后， 看见里面已经打扫干净， 粉饰好了，
26 他就去带了另外七个比自己更恶的污灵来， 进去住在那里； 那人后来的情况， 比以前更坏了。"
27 耶稣正说这些话的时候， 群众中有一个女人高声对他说： "怀你胎的和哺养你的有福了！ "
28 他说： "是的， 却还不如听 神的道而遵守的人有福。"
29 众人聚集的时候， 耶稣就说： "这世代是个邪恶的世代。这世代寻求神迹， 可是除了约拿的神迹以外， 再没有神迹给他们了。
30 约拿怎样成了尼尼微人的神迹， 人子也照样成为这个世代的神迹。
31 审判的时候， 南方的女王要和这世代的人一同起来， 她要定他们的罪， 因为她从地极来到， 要听所罗门智慧的话。你看， 这里有一位是比所罗门更大的。
32 审判的时候， 尼尼微人要和这世代的人一同起来， 他们要定这个世代的罪， 因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了。你看， 这里有一位是比约拿更大的。
33 "没有人点了灯， 把它放在地窖里， 或量器底下， 却放在灯台上， 叫进来的人看得见光。
34 你的眼睛就是你身体的灯， 你的眼睛健全， 全身就明亮； 如果不健全， 全身就黑暗。
35 所以要谨慎， 免得你里面的光黑暗了。
36 你若全身明亮， 没有一点黑暗， 你就完全明亮， 好像明亮的灯光照你一样。"
37 耶稣说话的时候， 有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他一起吃饭； 他就进去坐席。
38 这个法利赛人见耶稣吃饭之前不洗手， 觉得奇怪。
39 主对他说： "你们法利赛人把杯盘的外面洗净， 但你们里面却充满了抢夺和邪恶。
40 无知的人哪， 那造外面的， 不也造里面吗？
41 只要把里面的施舍出去， 你们的一切就都洁净了。
42 然而你们法利赛人有祸了！ 因为你们把薄荷、茴香和各样菜蔬献上十分之一， 却把公义和爱 神的事疏忽了； 这些是你们应当作的， 但其他的也不可疏忽。
43 你们法利赛人有祸了！ 因为你们喜爱会堂里的高位和人在巿中心的问安。
44 你们有祸了！ 因为你们好像不显露的坟墓， 走在上面的人并不知道。"
45 律法师中有一个回答他： "老师， 你这样说， 把我们也侮辱了！ "
46 耶稣说： "你们律法师也有祸了， 因为你们把难担的担子叫人担， 自己连一个指头也不动。
47 你们有祸了！ 因为你们修造先知的坟墓， 而那些先知正是你们祖先所杀的，
48 这样， 你们就成了证人， 对你们祖先的作为表示同意； 他们杀害先知， 你们修造先知的坟墓。
49 所以， 神的智慧说： ‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去， 有的他们要杀害， 有的他们要迫害，
50 为要使创世以来众先知所流的血， 从亚伯的血起， 直到在祭坛和圣所之间受害的撒迦利亚的血为止， 都向这一代追讨。’是的， 我告诉你们， 都要向这一代追讨。
52 你们律法师有祸了！ 因为你们拿去知识的钥匙， 自己不进去， 又阻止要进去的人。"
53 耶稣从那里出来， 经学家和法利赛人非常敌视他， 质问他很多问题，
54 等机会从他的口中找把柄。
