Luke 9

1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

1 耶稣叫齐了十二个门徒，给他们能力、权柄，制伏一切的鬼，医治各样的病，

2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

2 又差遣他们去宣传 神国的道，医治病人，

3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.

3 对他们说：「行路的时候，不要带拐杖和口袋，不要带食物和银子，也不要带两件褂子。

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.

4 无论进哪一家，就住在那里，也从那里起行。

5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

5 凡不接待你们的，你们离开那城的时候，要把脚上的尘土跺下去，见证他们的不是。」

6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.

6 门徒就出去，走遍各乡宣传福音，到处治病。

7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

7 分封的王希律听见耶稣所做的一切事，就游移不定；因为有人说：「是约翰从死里复活」；

8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

8 又有人说：「是以利亚显现」；还有人说：「是古时的一个先知又活了。」

9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.

9 希律说：「约翰我已经斩了，这却是什么人？我竟听见他这样的事呢？」就想要见他。

10 Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.

10 使徒回来，将所做的事告诉耶稣，耶稣就带他们暗暗地离开那里，往一座城去；那城名叫伯赛大。

11 But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.

11 但众人知道了，就跟着他去；耶稣便接待他们，对他们讲论 神国的道，医治那些需医的人。

12 As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”

12 日头快要平西，十二个门徒来对他说：「请叫众人散开，他们好往四面乡村里去借宿找吃的，因为我们这里是野地。」

13 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

13 耶稣说：「你们给他们吃吧！」门徒说：「我们不过有五个饼，两条鱼，若不去为这许多人买食物就不够。」

14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

14 那时，人数约有五千。耶稣对门徒说：「叫他们一排一排地坐下，每排大约五十个人。」

15 They did so, and everyone was seated.

15 门徒就如此行，叫众人都坐下。

16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.

16 耶稣拿着这五个饼，两条鱼，望着天祝福，擘开，递给门徒，摆在众人面前。

17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

17 他们就吃，并且都吃饱了；把剩下的零碎收拾起来，装满了十二篮子。

18 One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

18 耶稣自己祷告的时候，门徒也同他在那里。耶稣问他们说：「众人说我是谁？」

19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”

19 他们说：「有人说是施洗的约翰；有人说是以利亚；还有人说是古时的一个先知又活了。」

20 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

20 耶稣说：「你们说我是谁？」彼得回答说：「是 神所立的基督。」

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

21 耶稣切切地嘱咐他们，不可将这事告诉人，

22 “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

22 又说：「人子必须受许多的苦，被长老、祭司长，和文士弃绝，并且被杀，第三日复活。」

23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

23 耶稣又对众人说：「若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。

24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

24 因为，凡要救自己生命 的，必丧掉生命；凡为我丧掉生命的，必救了生命。

25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

25 人若赚得全世界，却丧了自己，赔上自己，有什么益处呢？

26 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

26 凡把我和我的道当作可耻的，人子在自己的荣耀里，并天父与圣天使的荣耀里降临的时候，也要把那人当作可耻的。

27 But I tell you truly, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

27 我实在告诉你们，站在这里的，有人在没尝死味以前，必看见 神的国。」

28 About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

28 说了这话以后约有八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰、雅各上山去祷告。

29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

29 正祷告的时候，他的面貌就改变了，衣服洁白放光。

30 Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.

30 忽然有摩西、以利亚两个人同耶稣说话；

31 They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

31 他们在荣光里显现，谈论耶稣去世的事，就是他在耶路撒冷将要成的事。

32 Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.

32 彼得和他的同伴都打盹，既清醒了，就看见耶稣的荣光，并同他站着的那两个人。

33 As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

33 二人正要和耶稣分离的时候，彼得对耶稣说：「夫子，我们在这里真好！可以搭三座棚，一座为你，一座为摩西，一座为以利亚。」他却不知道所说的是什么。

34 While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

34 说这话的时候，有一朵云彩来遮盖他们；他们进入云彩里就惧怕。

35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

35 有声音从云彩里出来，说：「这是我的儿子，我所拣选的 ，你们要听他。」

36 After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

36 声音住了，只见耶稣一人在那里。当那些日子，门徒不提所看见的事，一样也不告诉人。

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

37 第二天，他们下了山，就有许多人迎见耶稣。

38 Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.

38 其中有一人喊叫说：「夫子！求你看顾我的儿子，因为他是我的独生子。

39 A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.

39 他被鬼抓住就忽然喊叫；鬼又叫他抽风，口中流沫，并且重重地伤害他，难以离开他。

40 I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

40 我求过你的门徒，把鬼赶出去，他们却是不能。」

41 “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

41 耶稣说：「嗳！这又不信又悖谬的世代啊，我在你们这里，忍耐你们要到几时呢？将你的儿子带到这里来吧！」

42 Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

42 正来的时候，鬼把他摔倒，叫他重重地抽风。耶稣就斥责那污鬼，把孩子治好了，交给他父亲。

43 And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

43 众人都诧异 神的大能 。 耶稣所做的一切事，众人正希奇的时候，耶稣对门徒说：

44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

44 「你们要把这些话存在耳中，因为人子将要被交在人手里。」

45 But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

45 他们不明白这话，意思乃是隐藏的，叫他们不能明白，他们也不敢问这话的意思。

46 Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

46 门徒中间起了议论，谁将为大。

47 But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.

47 耶稣看出他们心中的议论，就领一个小孩子来，叫他站在自己旁边，

48 And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

48 对他们说：「凡为我名接待这小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，就是接待那差我来的。你们中间最小的，他便为大。」

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

49 约翰说：「夫子，我们看见一个人奉你的名赶鬼，我们就禁止他，因为他不与我们一同跟从你。」

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

50 耶稣说：「不要禁止他；因为不敌挡你们的，就是帮助你们的。」

51 As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

51 耶稣被接上升的日子将到，他就定意向耶路撒冷去，

52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

52 便打发使者在他前头走。他们到了撒马利亚的一个村庄，要为他预备。

53 But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.

53 那里的人不接待他，因他面向耶路撒冷去。

54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

54 他的门徒雅各、约翰看见了，就说：「主啊，你要我们吩咐火从天上降下来烧灭他们，像以利亚所做的 吗？」

55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

55 耶稣转身责备两个门徒，说：「你们的心如何，你们并不知道。

56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.

56 人子来不是要灭人的性命 ，是要救人的性命。」说着就往别的村庄去了 。

57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

57 他们走路的时候，有一人对耶稣说：「你无论往哪里去，我要跟从你。」

58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

58 耶稣说：「狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，只是人子没有枕头的地方。」

59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

59 又对一个人说：「跟从我来！」那人说：「主，容我先回去埋葬我的父亲。」

60 But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

60 耶稣说：「任凭死人埋葬他们的死人，你只管去传扬 神国的道。」

61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”

61 又有一人说：「主，我要跟从你，但容我先去辞别我家里的人。」

62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

62 耶稣说：「手扶着犁向后看的，不配进 神的国。」
