¹約翰派門徒去見耶穌（路7:18~23）耶穌吩咐完了十二門徒，就離開那裡，在各城裡施教傳道。

¹It happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

²約翰在監獄裡聽見基督所作的，就派門徒去問他：

²Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

³“你就是那位要來的，還是我們要等別人呢？”

³and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

⁴耶穌回答他們：“你們回去，把聽見和看見的都告訴約翰，

⁴Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

⁵就是瞎的可以看見，瘸的可以走路，患痲風的得到潔淨，聾的可以聽見，死人復活，窮人有福音聽。

⁵ the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, Isaiah 35:5 the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. Isaiah 61:1-4

⁶那不被我絆倒的，就有福了。”

⁶ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

⁷耶穌論到約翰（路7:24~35）他們走了之後，耶穌對群眾講起約翰來，說：“你們到曠野去，是要看甚麼？被風吹動的蘆葦嗎？

⁷As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

⁸你們出去到底要看甚麼？身穿華麗衣裳的人嗎？那些穿著華麗衣裳的人，是在王宮裡的。

⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king’s houses.

⁹那麼，你們出去要看甚麼？先知嗎？我告訴你們，是的。他比先知重要得多了。

⁹ But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

¹⁰經上所記：‘看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，他必在你前頭預備你的道路。’這句話是指著他說的。

¹⁰ For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Malachi 3:1

¹¹我實在告訴你們，婦人所生的，沒有一個比施洗的約翰更大；然而天國裡最小的比他還大。

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

¹²從施洗的約翰的時候直到現在，天國不斷遭受猛烈的攻擊，強暴的人企圖把它奪去。

¹² From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. or, plunder it.

¹³所有的先知和律法，直到約翰為止，都說了預言。

¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

¹⁴如果你們肯接受，約翰就是那要來的以利亞。

¹⁴ If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

¹⁵有耳的，就應當聽。

¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶“我要把這世代比作甚麼呢？它好像一些小孩子坐在市中心，呼叫別的小孩子，

¹⁶ “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions

¹⁷說：‘我們給你們吹笛子，你們卻不跳舞；我們唱哀歌，你們也不捶胸。’

¹⁷ and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’

¹⁸約翰來了，不吃也不喝，人說他是鬼附的；

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

¹⁹人子來了，又吃又喝，人卻說：‘你看，這人貪食好酒，與稅吏和罪人為友。’但智慧藉著它所作的，就證實是公義的了。”

¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children. NU reads “actions” instead of “children” ”

²⁰責備不肯悔改的城（路10:13~15）那時，耶穌責備那些他曾在那裡行過許多神蹟的城，因為它們不肯悔改：

²⁰Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.

²¹“哥拉遜啊，你有禍了！伯賽大啊，你有禍了！在你們那裡行過的神蹟，如果行在推羅和西頓，它們早已披麻蒙灰悔改了。

²¹ “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

²²但我告訴你們，在審判的日子，推羅和西頓所受的，比你們還輕呢。

²² But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

²³迦百農啊！你會被高舉到天上嗎？你必降到陰間。在你那裡行過的神蹟，如果行在所多瑪，那城還會存留到今天。

²³ You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. or, Hell For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day.

²⁴但我告訴你們，在審判的日子，所多瑪那地方所受的，比你還輕呢。”

²⁴ But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you.”

²⁵勞苦者可得安息（路10:21~22）就在那時候，耶穌說：“父啊，天地的主，我讚美你，因為你把這些事向智慧和聰明的人隱藏起來，卻向嬰孩顯明。

²⁵At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.

²⁶父啊，是的，這就是你的美意。

²⁶ Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.

²⁷我父已經把一切交給我；除了父沒有人認識子，除了子和子所願意啟示的人，沒有人認識父。

²⁷ All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

²⁸你們所有勞苦擔重擔的人哪，到我這裡來吧！我必使你們得安息。

²⁸ “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

²⁹我心裡柔和謙卑，你們應當負我的軛，向我學習，你們就必得著心靈的安息；

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

³⁰我的軛是容易負的，我的擔子是輕省的。”

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
