Luke 6 – NIV & CCBT

New International Version

Luke 6:1-49

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

1One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. 2Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” 5Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 7The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. 8But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.

9Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. 11But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Twelve Apostles

12One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. 13When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: 14Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Blessings and Woes

17He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon, 18who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, 19and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.

20Looking at his disciples, he said:

“Blessed are you who are poor,

for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Blessed are you who hunger now,

for you will be satisfied.

Blessed are you who weep now,

for you will laugh.

22Blessed are you when people hate you,

when they exclude you and insult you

and reject your name as evil,

because of the Son of Man.

23“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

24“But woe to you who are rich,

for you have already received your comfort.

25Woe to you who are well fed now,

for you will go hungry.

Woe to you who laugh now,

for you will mourn and weep.

26Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,

for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.

Love for Enemies

27“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Judging Others

37“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

39He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.

41“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

A Tree and Its Fruit

43“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

The Wise and Foolish Builders

46“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

路加福音 6:1-49

安息日的主

1有一個安息日,耶穌和門徒走過一片麥田,門徒隨手摘下一些麥穗搓了吃。 2有些法利賽人說:「你們為什麼做在安息日不准做的事?」

3耶穌答道:「你們沒有讀過大衛的事嗎?有一天,大衛和他的部下餓了, 4他進入上帝的殿,拿了獻給上帝的供餅。這餅只有祭司才可以吃,大衛不但自己吃了,還分給他的部下吃。」 5耶穌又對他們說:「人子是安息日的主。」

6又有一個安息日,耶穌進入會堂教導人,座中有一個右手萎縮的人。 7律法教師和法利賽人密切地監視耶穌,看祂會不會在安息日醫治病人,好找個藉口控告祂。 8耶穌知道他們的心思,就對那個右手萎縮的人說:「起來,站在大家面前!」那人就起來站在那裡。

9耶穌問眾人:「我問你們,在安息日應該行善呢,還是作惡呢?救人呢,還是害人呢?」 10祂環視眾人,然後對那人說:「把手伸出來!」那人的手一伸就復原了。

11但法利賽人和律法教師卻怒火中燒,開始商議對付耶穌的辦法。

揀選十二使徒

12一天,耶穌到山上整夜向上帝禱告。 13天明時分,祂召集門徒,從中選出十二人立為使徒。 14他們是:西門——耶穌給他取名叫彼得西門的兄弟安得烈雅各約翰腓力巴多羅買15馬太多馬亞勒腓的兒子雅各、激進黨人6·15 當時激進的民族主義者,常以行動反抗統治他們的羅馬政府。西門16雅各的兒子猶大和出賣耶穌的加略猶大

17耶穌和他們下了山,站在一處平地上,身邊有一大群門徒,還有大批從猶太耶路撒冷以及泰爾西頓沿海地區來的人,要聽祂講道,盼望祂醫治他們的疾病。 18那些被污鬼纏身的人也得到了祂的醫治。 19大家都想去摸祂,因為有能力從祂身上發出來,可以治好人們的疾病。

論四福

20耶穌抬頭望著門徒,對他們說:

「貧窮的人有福了,

因為上帝的國屬於你們!

21現在饑餓的人有福了,

因為你們將得飽足!

現在哀哭的人有福了,

因為你們將要歡笑!

22你們為人子的緣故而遭人憎恨、棄絕、侮辱、毀謗,就有福了! 23那時你們要歡喜雀躍,因為你們在天上有大賞賜!他們的祖先也曾這樣惡待以前的先知。

論四禍

24「富有的人有禍了,

因為你們已經享盡了人世間的安逸!

25現在飽足的人有禍了,

因為你們將要挨餓!

現在歡笑的人有禍了,

因為你們將要哀哭!

26人人都誇讚你們的時候,

你們就有禍了,

因為他們的祖先也是這樣誇讚假先知!

論愛仇敵

27「但是,我告訴你們這些聽道的人,要愛你們的仇敵,要善待恨你們的人, 28要為咒詛你們的人祝福,要替惡待你們的人禱告。 29如果有人打你一邊的臉,連另一邊也轉過來讓他打。如果有人奪你的外衣,連內衣也由他拿去。 30有人向你求什麼,就給他;有人拿了你的東西,不要追討。 31你們想要別人怎樣對待你們,你們就要怎樣對待別人。 32如果你們只愛那些愛你們的人,有什麼功勞呢?就是罪人也會這樣做。 33如果你們只善待那些善待你們的人,有什麼功勞呢?就是罪人也會這樣做。 34如果你們借錢給人,指望收回,有什麼功勞呢?即使罪人也會借貸給罪人,日後再如數收回。

35「然而,要愛你們的仇敵,善待他們;無論借出什麼,都不要指望歸還。這樣,你們將有大賞賜,並且將成為至高者的兒子,因為祂以恩慈待那些忘恩負義和作惡的人。 36你們要憐憫人,像你們的天父憐憫人一樣。

責人先責己

37「不要論斷人,免得你們被人論斷;不要定人的罪,免得自己也被定罪。要饒恕人,這樣你們也必蒙饒恕。 38你們要給他人,這樣上帝必給你們,並且會用大號升斗搖勻壓實,滿滿地倒給你們,因為你們用什麼樣的量器量給別人,上帝也會用什麼樣的量器量給你們。」

39耶穌又給他們講了個比喻,說:「瞎子豈能給瞎子帶路?二人豈不是要雙雙掉進坑裡嗎? 40學生不會高過老師,學成之後不過像老師一樣。 41為什麼你只看見你弟兄眼中的小刺,卻看不見自己眼中的大樑呢? 42你既看不見自己眼中的大樑,又怎能對弟兄說『讓我除去你眼中的小刺』呢?你這偽君子啊!要先除掉自己眼中的大樑,才能看得清楚,以便清除弟兄眼中的小刺。

樹和果子

43「好樹不結壞果子,壞樹也結不出好果子。 44樹的好壞從果子就可以分辨出來。人不會從荊棘中採集無花果,也不會在蒺藜上摘取葡萄。 45善人心存良善,就從他裡面發出良善;惡人心存邪惡,就從他裡面發出邪惡。因為心裡充滿的,口裡自然會說出來。

兩種蓋房子的人

46「你們為什麼『主啊,主啊』地稱呼我,卻不遵行我的話呢? 47我要告訴你們那到我這裡來,聽了我的話又去遵行的人是什麼樣。 48他好比一個人蓋房子,把地挖深,根基立在磐石上。當河流氾濫,洪水沖擊房子時,房子卻屹立不搖,因為它的根基穩固。 49但聽了我的話卻不遵行的人,好比一個人沒有打根基,便將房子蓋在地面上,洪水一沖,房子立刻倒塌,完全毀壞了。」
