¹寡妇与法官的比喻

¹And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,

²他说：“某城里有一个法官，不惧怕　神，也不尊敬人。

²saying, `A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —

³那城里有一个寡妇，常常来到他那里，说：‘求你给我伸冤，使我脱离我的对头！’

³and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

⁴他多次不肯，后来心里说：‘我虽然不惧怕　神，也不尊敬人，

⁴and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

⁵只是因为这寡妇常常来麻烦我，就给她伸冤吧，免得她不断地来缠扰我。’”

⁵yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.`

⁶主说：“你们听听这不义的法官所说的话吧。

⁶And the Lord said, `Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:

⁷难道　神不会为昼夜呼吁他的选民伸冤吗？难道　神会耽误他们吗？

⁷and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to them?

⁸我告诉你们，他要快快地给他们伸冤。然而人子来的时候，在世上找得到这种信心吗？”

⁸I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?`

⁹税吏和法利赛人的祷告耶稣向那些自恃为义、轻视别人的人，讲了这个比喻：

⁹And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:

¹⁰“有两个人上圣殿去祈祷，一个是法利赛人，一个是税吏。

¹⁰`Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;

¹¹法利赛人站着，祷告给自己听，这样说：‘　神啊，我感谢你，我不像别人，勒索、不义、奸淫，也不像这个税吏。

¹¹the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

¹²我一个礼拜禁食两次，我的一切收入都奉献十分之一。’

¹²I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.

¹³税吏却远远站着，连举目望天也不敢，只捶着胸说：‘　神啊，可怜我这个罪人！’

¹³`And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the sinner!

¹⁴我告诉你们，这个人回去，比那个倒算为义了。因为高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己谦卑的，必要升高。”

¹⁴I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.`

¹⁵让小孩子到我这里来（太19:13-15；可10:13-16）有人抱着婴孩到耶稣面前，要他抚摩他们。门徒看见了，就责备那些人。

¹⁵And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,

¹⁶耶稣却叫他们过来，说：“让小孩子到我这里来，不要禁止他们，因为　神的国正属于这样的人。

¹⁶and Jesus having called them near, said, `Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

¹⁷我实在告诉你们，凡不像小孩子一样接受　神的国的，决不能进去。”

¹⁷verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.`

¹⁸有钱的人难进　神的国（太19:16-29；可10:17-30）有一个官长问耶稣：“良善的老师，我当作什么，才可以承受永生？”

¹⁸And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, `Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?`

¹⁹耶稣对他说：“你为什么称我是良善的呢？除了　神一位以外，没有良善的。

¹⁹And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;

²⁰诫命你是知道的：不可奸淫，不可杀人，不可偷盗，不可作假证供，当孝敬父母。”

²⁰the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.`

²¹他说：“这一切我从小都遵守了。”

²¹And he said, `All these I did keep from my youth;`

²²耶稣听了，就告诉他：“你还缺少一件，应当变卖你一切所有的，分给穷人，你就必定有财宝在天上，而且你还要来跟从我。”

²²and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, `Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;`

²³他听见这话，非常忧愁，因为他十分富有。

²³and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.

²⁴耶稣见他这样，就说：“富有的人要进　神的国，是多么难哪！

²⁴And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!

²⁵骆驼穿过针眼，比有钱的人进　神的国还容易呢。”

²⁵for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.`

²⁶听见的人说：“这样，谁可以得救呢？”

²⁶And those who heard, said, `And who is able to be saved?`

²⁷耶稣说：“人所不能的，在　神却是可能的。”

²⁷and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.`

²⁸彼得说：“你看，我们已舍弃自己所有的，跟从你了！”

²⁸And Peter said, `Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;`

²⁹耶稣说：“我实在告诉你们，人为　神的国撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或儿女，

²⁹and he said to them, `Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,

³⁰没有不在今世得许多倍，来世得永生的。”

³⁰who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.`

³¹第三次预言受难及复活（太20:17-19；可10:32-34）耶稣把十二门徒带到一边，对他们说：“我们现在上耶路撒冷去，先知所写的一切，都要成就在人子身上。

³¹And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,

³²他要被交给外族人，受戏弄，被凌辱，他们要向他吐唾沫，

³²for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,

³³鞭打他，杀害他；第三日他要复活。”

³³and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.`

³⁴这些话的含义对门徒是隐藏的。他们听了，一点也不明白，不知道他说的是什么。

³⁴And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.

³⁵治好瞎眼的人（太20:29-34；可10:46-52）耶稣走近耶利哥的时候，有一个瞎眼的人坐在路旁讨饭，

³⁵And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,

³⁶他听见人群经过，就问是什么事。

³⁶and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,

³⁷别人告诉他，是拿撒勒人耶稣经过。

³⁷and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,

³⁸他就喊叫说：“大卫的子孙耶稣啊，可怜我吧！”

³⁸and he cried out, saying, `Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;`

³⁹在前头走的人责备他，叫他不要出声；但他越发喊叫：“大卫的子孙，可怜我吧！”

³⁹and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.`

⁴⁰耶稣站住，吩咐领他过来。等他走近，就问他：

⁴⁰And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,

⁴¹“你要我为你作什么？”他说：“主啊，叫我能看见！”

⁴¹saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?` and he said, `Sir, that I may receive sight.`

⁴²耶稣说：“你就看见吧！你的信使你痊愈了。”

⁴²And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;`

⁴³他立刻看见了，就跟随耶稣，颂赞　神。众人看见这事，也赞美　神。

⁴³and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
