1 And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Father, thy name be hallowed; thy kingdom come;
3 give us our needed bread for each day;
4 and remit us our sins, for we also remit to every one indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.
5 And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,
6 since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;
7 and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give {it} thee?
8 -I say to you, Although he will not get up and give {them} to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.
9 And *I* say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.
11 But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and {the father} shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?
12 or if also he shall ask an egg, shall give him a scorpion?
13 If therefore *ye*, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give {the} Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb {man} spoke. And the crowds wondered.
15 But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons.
16 And others tempting {him} sought from him a sign out of heaven.
17 But *he*, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;
18 and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
19 But if *I* by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons-by whom do they cast {them} out? For this reason *they* shall be your judges.
20 But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When the strong {man} armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;
22 but when the stronger than he coming upon {him} overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil {he has taken} from him.
23 He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.
24 When the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places seeking rest; and not finding {any} he says, I will return to my house whence I came out.
25 And having come, he finds it swept and adorned.
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But *he* said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep {it}.
29 But as the crowds thronged together, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it but the sign of Jonas.
30 For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, thus shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.
32 Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.
33 But no one having lit a lamp sets it in secret, nor under the corn-measure, but on the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.
34 The lamp of the body is thine eye: when thine eye is simple, thy whole body also is light; but when it is wicked, thy body also is dark.
35 See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If therefore thy whole body {is} light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness.
37 But as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him; and entering in he placed himself at table.
38 But the Pharisee seeing {it} wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward {parts} are full of plunder and wickedness.
40 Fools, has not he who has made the outside made the inside also?
41 But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love of God: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places.
44 Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know {it}.
45 And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.
46 And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48 Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for *they* killed them, and *ye* build {their sepulchres}.
49 For this reason also the wisdom of God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,
50 that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered.
53 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things;
54 watching him, {and seeking} to catch something out of his mouth, {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。
