Lukas 14 | 聖經當代譯本修訂版

論安息日治病

1 有個安息日，耶穌到一位法利賽人的首領家裡作客，人們密切地監視祂。 2 當時有一個患水腫病的人在耶穌面前， 3 耶穌問法利賽人和律法教師：「在安息日可以醫病嗎？」 4 他們都閉口不言。耶穌便扶著那人把他醫好，叫他走了， 5 然後又問他們：「如果你們有驢*或牛在安息日掉進井裡，難道你們不會立刻把牠拉上來嗎？」 6 他們都啞口無言。

論謙卑

7 耶穌在宴席中看見賓客們都爭著坐首位，就用比喻對他們說： 8 「參加婚宴的時候，不要坐在首位，因為或許有更尊貴的賓客來赴宴， 9 主人會把他帶到你面前，說，『請你把首位讓給他吧！』你就要滿面羞愧地退到末位去了。 10 你去赴宴時，應該先坐在末位，這樣主人會對你說，『朋友，請上坐！』那時，你在賓客面前就有光彩了。 11 因為自高的人必遭貶抑，謙卑的人必得尊榮。」

論待客之道

12 耶穌又對主人說：「擺設午宴、晚宴時，不要邀請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或有錢的鄰居，免得他們回請你，你便得到報答了。 13 相反，你設宴時，要邀請貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 這樣你就有福了，因為他們都沒有能力回報你，到了義人復活那天，上帝一定會賞賜你。」

大宴席的比喻

15 同席的一個客人聽了這番話，就對耶穌說：「能夠在上帝的國坐席的人多麼有福啊！」 16 於是，耶穌對他說：「有一個人大擺宴席，邀請了許多客人。 17 要開席的時候，主人就派奴僕去對客人說，『一切都準備好了，來赴宴吧！』 18 可是，他們都找藉口推辭。頭一個說，『我剛買了一塊田，必須去看一看，請恕我不能參加。』 19 另一個說，『我新買了五對牛，要去試一試，請恕我不能參加。』 20 還有一個說，『我剛結了婚，所以不能去。』 21 奴僕回來將這些話告訴主人，主人非常生氣，於是對奴僕說，『快出去到城裡的大街小巷把貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的都請來。』 22 奴僕說，『主人啊，我照你的吩咐辦了，可是還有空位。』 23 主人又說，『出去到大路上、籬笆旁硬把人拉來，讓我家裡座無虛席。 24 我告訴你們，原來邀請的那些人沒有一個能嚐到我的宴席！』」

做門徒的代價

25 有一大群人跟著耶穌，祂轉身對他們說： 26 「若有人要跟從我，就要愛我勝過愛他的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至自己的生命，否則就不能作我的門徒。 27 若不背起自己的十字架跟從我，就不能作我的門徒。 28 「哪有人建樓房不事先坐下來計算成本，看能否建成？ 29 否則，打好了地基卻不能完工，徒惹別人嘲笑， 30 『這個人開了工，卻不能完工！』 31 「哪有王要跟另一個王打仗時，不先坐下來酌量一下自己的一萬人是否敵得過對方的兩萬人？ 32 如果自知不敵，一定趁敵人還遠的時候，就差使者去求和。 33 「同樣，你們若不撇下一切，就不能作我的門徒。 34 鹽本來是好的，但如果鹽失去了鹹味，怎能使它再變鹹呢？ 35 沒有味的鹽，既不利於土壤，也不適宜作肥料，只好丟掉。有耳可聽的，就應當聽。」

Healing of a Man on the Sabbath

1 One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully. 2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. 3 And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” 4 But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. 5 And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son* or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?” 6 And they could not reply to these things.

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

The Parable of the Great Banquet

12 He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers* or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” 15 When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” 16 But he said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. 17 And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant* to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ 18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’ 20 And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23 And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I tell you,* none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’”

The Cost of Discipleship

25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Salt Without Taste Is Worthless

34 “Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? 35 It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
