Lucas 11-19
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
11 Et factum est: cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis ejus ad eum: Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Joannes discipulos suos.
2 Et ait illis: Cum oratis, dicite: Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum.
3 Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.
4 Et dimitte nobis peccata nostra, siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.
5 Et ait ad illos: Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi: Amice, commoda mihi tres panes,
6 quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum,
7 et ille de intus respondens dicat: Noli mihi molestus esse, jam ostium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili: non possum surgere, et dare tibi.
8 Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans: dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus ejus sit, propter improbitatem tamen ejus surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios.
9 Et ego dico vobis: Petite, et dabitur vobis; quaerite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
10 Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
11 Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi? aut piscem, numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi?
12 aut si petierit ovum, numquid porriget illi scorpionem?
13 Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se?
14 Et erat ejiciens daemonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum ejecisset daemonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratae sunt turbae.
15 Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: In Beelzebub principe daemoniorum ejicit daemonia.
16 Et alii tentantes, signum de caelo quaerebant ab eo.
17 Ipse autem ut vidit cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet.
18 Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum ejus? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me ejicere daemonia.
19 Si autem ego in Beelzebub ejicio daemonia: filii vestri in quo ejiciunt? ideo ipsi judices vestri erunt.
20 Porro si in digito Dei ejicio daemonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
21 Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt ea quae possidet.
22 Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma ejus auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia ejus distribuet.
23 Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non colligit mecum, dispergit.
24 Cum immundus spiritus exierit de homine, ambulat per loca inaquosa, quaerens requiem: et non inveniens dicit: Revertar in domum meam unde exivi.
25 Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
26 Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum, nequiores se, et ingressi habitant ibi. Et fiunt novissima hominis illius pejora prioribus.
27 Factum est autem, cum haec diceret: extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi: Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti.
28 At ille dixit: Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.
29 Turbis autem concurrentibus coepit dicere: Generatio haec, generatio nequam est: signum quaerit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonae prophetae.
30 Nam sicut fuit Jonas signum Ninivitis, ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti.
31 Regina austri surget in judicio cum viris generationis hujus, et condemnabit illos: quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis: et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
32 Viri Ninivitae surgent in judicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam: quia poenitentiam egerunt ad praedicationem Jonae, et ecce plus quam Jonas hic.
33 Nemo lucernam accendit, et in abscondito ponit, neque sub modio: sed supra candelabrum, ut qui ingrediuntur, lumen videant.
34 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit: si autem nequam fuerit, etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit.
35 Vide ergo ne lumen quod in te est, tenebrae sint.
36 Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum, et sicut lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te.
37 Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam pharisaeus ut pranderet apud se. Et ingressus recubuit.
38 Pharisaeus autem coepit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
39 Et ait Dominus ad illum: Nunc vos pharisaei, quod deforis est calicis et catini, mundatis: quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina et iniquitate.
40 Stulti! nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id quod deintus est fecit?
41 Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam: et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
42 Sed vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et praeteritis judicium et caritatem Dei: haec autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
43 Vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
44 Vae vobis, quia estis ut monumenta, quae non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
45 Respondens autem quidam ex legisperitis, ait illi: Magister, haec dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
46 At ille ait: Et vobis legisperitis vae: quia oneratis homines oneribus, quae portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
47 Vae vobis, qui aedificatis monumenta prophetarum: patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
48 Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum: quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra.
49 Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos prophetas, et apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur:
50 ut inquiratur sanguis omnium prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista,
51 a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariae, qui periit inter altare et aedem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione.
52 Vae vobis, legisperitis, quia tulistis clavem scientiae: ipsi non introistis, et eos qui introibant, prohibuistis.
53 Cum autem haec ad illos diceret, coeperunt pharisaei et legisperiti graviter insistere, et os ejus opprimere de multis,
54 insidiantes ei, et quaerentes aliquid capere de ore ejus, ut accusarent eum.
12 Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos: Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis.
2 Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur: neque absconditum, quod non sciatur.
3 Quoniam quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur: et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis.
4 Dico autem vobis amicis meis: Ne terreamini ab his qui occidunt corpus, et post haec non habent amplius quid faciant.
5 Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis: timete eum qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam: ita dico vobis, hunc timete.
6 Nonne quinque passeres veneunt dipondio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo?
7 sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere: multis passeribus pluris estis vos.
8 Dico autem vobis: Omnis quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram angelis Dei:
9 qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabitur coram angelis Dei.
10 Et omnis qui dicit verbum in Filium hominis, remittetur illi: ei autem qui in Spiritum Sanctum blasphemaverit, non remittetur.
11 Cum autem inducent vos in synagogas, et ad magistratus, et potestates, nolite solliciti esse qualiter, aut quid respondeatis, aut quid dicatis.
12 Spiritus enim Sanctus docebit vos in ipsa hora quid oporteat vos dicere.
13 Ait autem ei quidam de turba: Magister, dic fratri meo ut dividat mecum haereditatem.
14 At ille dixit illi: Homo, quis me constituit judicem, aut divisorem super vos?
15 Dixitque ad illos: Videte, et cavete ab omni avaritia: quia non in abundantia cujusquam vita ejus est ex his quae possidet.
16 Dixit autem similitudinem ad illos, dicens: Hominis cujusdam divitis uberes fructus ager attulit:
17 et cogitabat intra se dicens: Quid faciam, quia non habeo quo congregem fructus meos?
18 Et dixit: Hoc faciam: destruam horrea mea, et majora faciam: et illuc congregabo omnia quae nata sunt mihi, et bona mea,
19 et dicam animae meae: Anima, habes multa bona posita in annos plurimos: requiesce, comede, bibe, epulare.
20 Dixit autem illi Deus: Stulte, hac nocte animam tuam repetunt a te: quae autem parasti, cujus erunt?
21 Sic est qui sibi thesaurizat, et non est in Deum dives.
22 Dixitque ad discipulos suos: Ideo dico vobis, nolite solliciti esse animae vestrae quid manducetis, neque corpori quid induamini.
23 Anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum.
24 Considerate corvos, quia non seminant, neque metunt, quibus non est cellarium, neque horreum, et Deus pascit illos. Quanto magis vos pluris estis illis?
25 Quis autem vestrum cogitando potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
26 Si ergo neque quod minimum est potestis, quid de ceteris solliciti estis?
27 Considerate lilia quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent: dico autem vobis, nec Salomon in omni gloria sua vestiebatur sicut unum ex istis.
28 Si autem foenum, quod hodie est in agro, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos pusillae fidei?
29 Et vos nolite quaerere quid manducetis, aut quid bibatis: et nolite in sublime tolli:
30 haec enim omnia gentes mundi quaerunt. Pater autem vester scit quoniam his indigetis.
31 Verumtamen quaerite primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus: et haec omnia adjicientur vobis.
32 Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum.
33 Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis: quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit.
34 Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.
35 Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris,
36 et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis: ut, cum venerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei.
37 Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes: amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis.
38 Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi.
39 Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam.
40 Et vos estote parati: quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.
41 Ait autem ei Petrus: Domine, ad nos dicis hanc parabolam, an et ad omnes?
42 Dixit autem Dominus: Quis, putas, est fidelis dispensator, et prudens, quem constituit dominus supra familiam suam, ut det illis in tempore tritici mensuram?
43 Beatus ille servus quem, cum venerit dominus, invenerit ita facientem.
44 Vere dico vobis, quoniam supra omnia quae possidet, constituet illum.
45 Quod si dixerit servus ille in corde suo: Moram facit dominus meus venire: et coeperit percutere servos, et ancillas, et edere, et bibere, et inebriari:
46 veniet dominus servi illius in die qua non sperat, et hora qua nescit, et dividet eum, partemque ejus cum infidelibus ponet.
47 Ille autem servus qui cognovit voluntatem domini sui, et non praeparavit, et non facit secundum voluntatem ejus, vapulabit multis:
48 qui autem non cognovit, et fecit digna plagis, vapulabit paucis. Omni autem cui multum datum est, multum quaeretur ab eo: et cui commendaverunt multum, plus petent ab eo.
49 Ignem veni mittere in terram, et quid volo nisi ut accendatur?
50 Baptismo autem habeo baptizari: et quomodo coarctor usque dum perficiatur?
51 Putatis quia pacem veni dare in terram? non, dico vobis, sed separationem:
52 erunt enim ex hoc quinque in domo una divisi, tres in duos, et duo in tres
53 dividentur: pater in filium, et filius in patrem suum, mater in filiam, et filia in matrem, socrus in nurum suam, et nurus in socrum suam.
54 Dicebat autem et ad turbas: Cum videritis nubem orientem ab occasu, statim dicitis: Nimbus venit: et ita fit.
55 Et cum austrum flantem, dicitis: Quia aestus erit: et fit.
56 Hypocritae! faciem caeli et terrae nostis probare: hoc autem tempus quomodo non probatis?
57 quid autem et a vobis ipsis non judicatis quod justum est?
58 Cum autem vadis cum adversario tuo ad principem, in via da operam liberari ab illo, ne forte trahat te ad judicem, et judex tradat te exactori, et exactor mittat te in carcerem.
59 Dico tibi, non exies inde, donec etiam novissimum minutum reddas.
13 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nuntiantes illi de Galilaeis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.
2 Et respondens dixit illis: Putatis quod hi Galilaei prae omnibus Galilaeis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt?
3 Non, dico vobis: sed nisi poenitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
4 Sicut illi decem et octo, supra quos cecidit turris in Siloe, et occidit eos: putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerint praeter omnes homines habitantes in Jerusalem?
5 Non, dico vobis: sed si poenitentiam non egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
6 Dicebat autem et hanc similitudinem: Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit quaerens fructum in illa, et non invenit.
7 Dixit autem ad cultorem vineae: Ecce anni tres sunt ex quo venio quaerens fructum in ficulnea hac, et non invenio: succide ergo illam: ut quid etiam terram occupat?
8 At ille respondens, dicit illi: Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora,
9 et siquidem fecerit fructum: sin autem, in futurum succides eam.
10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis.
11 Et ecce mulier, quae habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo: et erat inclinata, nec omnino poterat sursum respicere.
12 Quam cum videret Jesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi: Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua.
13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.
14 Respondens autem archisynagogus, indignans quia sabbato curasset Jesus, dicebat turbae: Sex dies sunt in quibus oportet operari: in his ergo venite, et curamini, et non in die sabbati.
15 Respondens autem ad illum Dominus, dixit: Hypocritae, unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum, aut asinum a praesepio, et ducit adaquare?
16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahae, quam alligavit Satanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati?
17 Et cum haec diceret, erubescebant omnes adversarii ejus: et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, quae gloriose fiebant ab eo.
18 Dicebat ergo: Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile aestimabo illud?
19 Simile est grano sinapis, quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum, et crevit, et factum est in arborem magnam: et volucres caeli requieverunt in ramis ejus.
20 Et iterum dixit: Cui simile aestimabo regnum Dei?
21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinae sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum.
22 Et ibat per civitates et castella, docens, et iter faciens in Jerusalem.
23 Ait autem illi quidam: Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur? Ipse autem dixit ad illos:
24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam: quia multi, dico vobis, quaerent intrare, et non poterunt.
25 Cum autem intraverit paterfamilias, et clauserit ostium, incipietis foris stare, et pulsare ostium, dicentes: Domine, aperi nobis: et respondens dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis:
26 tunc incipietis dicere: Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.
27 Et dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis: discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis.
28 Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium: cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et omnes prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras.
29 Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilone, et austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.
30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi, et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi.
31 In ipsa die accesserunt quidam pharisaeorum, dicentes illi: Exi, et vade hinc: quia Herodes vult te occidere.
32 Et ait illis: Ite, et dicite vulpi illi: Ecce ejicio daemonia, et sanitates perficio hodie, et cras, et tertia die consummor.
33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare: quia non capit prophetam perire extra Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quae occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos qui mittuntur ad te, quoties volui congregare filios tuos quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pennis, et noluisti?
35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis: Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
14 Et factum est cum intraret Jesus in domum cujusdam principis pharisaeorum sabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum.
2 Et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum.
3 Et respondens Jesus dixit ad legisperitos et pharisaeos, dicens: Si licet sabbato curare?
4 At illi tacuerunt. Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum, ac dimisit.
5 Et respondens ad illos dixit: Cujus vestrum asinus, aut bos in puteum cadet, et non continuo extrahet illum die sabbati?
6 Et non poterant ad haec respondere illi.
7 Dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent, dicens ad illos:
8 Cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias, non discumbas in primo loco, ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab illo.
9 Et veniens is, qui te et illum vocavit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere.
10 Sed cum vocatus fueris, vade, recumbe in novissimo loco: ut, cum venerit qui te invitavit, dicat tibi: Amice, ascende superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus:
11 quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
12 Dicebat autem et ei, qui invitaverat: Cum facis prandium, aut coenam, noli vocare amicos tuos, neque fratres tuos, neque cognatos, neque vicinos divites: ne forte te et ipsi reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio;
13 sed cum facis convivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, et caecos:
14 et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi: retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione justorum.
15 Haec cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi: Beatus qui manducabit panem in regno Dei.
16 At ipse dixit ei: Homo quidam fecit coenam magnam, et vocavit multos.
17 Et misit servum suum hora coenae dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia jam parata sunt omnia.
18 Et coeperunt simul omnes excusare. Primus dixit ei: Villam emi, et necesse habeo exire, et videre illam: rogo te, habe me excusatum.
19 Et alter dixit: Juga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa: rogo te, habe me excusatum.
20 Et alius dixit: Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire.
21 Et reversus servus nuntiavit haec domino suo. Tunc iratus paterfamilias, dixit servo suo: Exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis: et pauperes, ac debiles, et caecos, et claudos introduc huc.
22 Et ait servus: Domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est.
23 Et ait dominus servo: Exi in vias, et saepes: et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea.
24 Dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum qui vocati sunt, gustabit coenam meam.
25 Ibant autem turbae multae cum eo: et conversus dixit ad illos:
26 Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest meus esse discipulus.
27 Et qui non bajulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus.
28 Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim aedificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum,
29 ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes qui vident, incipiant illudere ei,
30 dicentes: Quia hic homo coepit aedificare, et non potuit consummare?
31 Aut quis rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cum decem millibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti millibus venit ad se?
32 Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea quae pacis sunt.
33 Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renuntiat omnibus quae possidet, non potest meus esse discipulus.
34 Bonum est sal: si autem sal evanuerit, in quo condietur?
35 Neque in terram, neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras mittetur. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
15 Erant autem appropinquantes ei publicani, et peccatores ut audirent illum.
2 Et murmurabant pharisaei, et scribae, dicentes: Quia hic peccatores recipit, et manducat cum illis.
3 Et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens:
4 Quis ex vobis homo, qui habet centum oves, et si perdiderit unam ex illis, nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto, et vadit ad illam quae perierat, donec inveniat eam?
5 Et cum invenerit eam, imponit in humeros suos gaudens:
6 et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos, dicens illis: Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni ovem meam, quae perierat.
7 Dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in caelo super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente, quam super nonaginta novem justis, qui non indigent poenitentia.
8 Aut quae mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quaerit diligenter, donec inveniat?
9 Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens: Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram.
10 Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente.
11 Ait autem: Homo quidam habuit duos filios:
12 et dixit adolescentior ex illis patri: Pater, da mihi portionem substantiae, quae me contingit. Et divisit illis substantiam.
13 Et non post multos dies, congregatis omnibus, adolescentior filius peregre profectus est in regionem longinquam, et ibi dissipavit substantiam suam vivendo luxuriose.
14 Et postquam omnia consummasset, facta est fames valida in regione illa, et ipse coepit egere.
15 Et abiit, et adhaesit uni civium regionis illius: et misit illum in villam suam ut pasceret porcos.
16 Et cupiebat implere ventrem suum de siliquis, quas porci manducabant: et nemo illi dabat.
17 In se autem reversus, dixit: Quanti mercenarii in domo patris mei abundant panibus, ego autem hic fame pereo!
18 surgam, et ibo ad patrem meum, et dicam ei: Pater, peccavi in caelum, et coram te:
19 jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus: fac me sicut unum de mercenariis tuis.
20 Et surgens venit ad patrem suum. Cum autem adhuc longe esset, vidit illum pater ipsius, et misericordia motus est, et accurrens cecidit super collum ejus, et osculatus est eum.
21 Dixitque ei filius: Pater, peccavi in caelum, et coram te: jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus.
22 Dixit autem pater ad servos suos: Cito proferte stolam primam, et induite illum, et date annulum in manum ejus, et calceamenta in pedes ejus:
23 et adducite vitulum saginatum, et occidite, et manducemus, et epulemur:
24 quia hic filius meus mortuus erat, et revixit: perierat, et inventus est. Et coeperunt epulari.
25 Erat autem filius ejus senior in agro: et cum veniret, et appropinquaret domui, audivit symphoniam et chorum:
26 et vocavit unum de servis, et interrogavit quid haec essent.
27 Isque dixit illi: Frater tuus venit, et occidit pater tuus vitulum saginatum, quia salvum illum recepit.
28 Indignatus est autem, et nolebat introire. Pater ergo illius egressus, coepit rogare illum.
29 At ille respondens, dixit patri suo: Ecce tot annis servio tibi, et numquam mandatum tuum praeterivi: et numquam dedisti mihi haedum ut cum amicis meis epularer.
30 Sed postquam filius tuus hic, qui devoravit substantiam suam cum meretricibus, venit, occidisti illi vitulum saginatum.
31 At ipse dixit illi: Fili, tu semper mecum es, et omnia mea tua sunt:
32 epulari autem, et gaudere oportebat, quia frater tuus hic mortuus erat, et revixit; perierat, et inventus est.
16 Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos: Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum: et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.
2 Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: Quid hoc audio de te? redde rationem villicationis tuae: jam enim non poteris villicare.
3 Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem? Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco.
4 Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
6 At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
7 Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
8 Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii hujus saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt.
9 Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula.
10 Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in majori fidelis est: et qui in modico iniquus est, et in majori iniquus est.
11 Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
13 Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget: aut uni adhaerebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonae.
14 Audiebant autem omnia haec pharisaei, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
15 Et ait illis: Vos estis qui justificatis vos coram hominibus: Deus autem novit corda vestra: quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.
16 Lex et prophetae usque ad Joannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
17 Facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire, quam de lege unum apicem cadere.
18 Omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et alteram ducit, moechatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, moechatur.
19 Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
20 Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui jacebat ad januam ejus, ulceribus plenus,
21 cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera ejus.
22 Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae. Mortuus est autem et dives, et sepultus est in inferno.
23 Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu ejus:
24 et ipse clamans dixit: Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.
25 Et dixit illi Abraham: Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala: nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris:
26 et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est: ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.
27 Et ait: Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei:
28 habeo enim quinque fratres: ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
29 Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen et prophetas: audiant illos.
30 At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, poenitentiam agent.
31 Ait autem illi: Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
17 Et ait ad discipulos suos: Impossibile est ut non veniant scandala: vae autem illi per quem veniunt.
2 Utilius est illi si lapis molaris imponatur circa collum ejus, et projiciatur in mare quam ut scandalizet unum de pusillis istis.
3 Attendite vobis: Si peccaverit in te frater tuus, increpa illum: et si poenitentiam egerit, dimitte illi.
4 Et si septies in die peccaverit in te, et septies in die conversus fuerit ad te, dicens: Poenitet me, dimitte illi.
5 Et dixerunt apostoli Domino: Adauge nobis fidem.
6 Dixit autem Dominus: Si habueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis huic arbori moro: Eradicare, et transplantare in mare, et obediet vobis.
7 Quis autem vestrum habens servum arantem aut pascentem, qui regresso de agro dicat illi: Statim transi, recumbe:
8 et non dicat ei: Para quod coenem, et praecinge te, et ministra mihi donec manducem, et bibam, et post haec tu manducabis, et bibes?
9 Numquid gratiam habet servo illi, quia fecit quae ei imperaverat?
10 non puto. Sic et vos cum feceritis omnia quae praecepta sunt vobis, dicite: Servi inutiles sumus: quod debuimus facere, fecimus.
11 Et factum est, dum iret in Jerusalem, transibat per mediam Samariam et Galilaeam.
12 Et cum ingrederetur quoddam castellum, occurrerunt ei decem viri leprosi, qui steterunt a longe:
13 et levaverunt vocem, dicentes: Jesu praeceptor, miserere nostri.
14 Quos ut vidit, dixit: Ite, ostendite vos sacerdotibus. Et factum est, dum irent, mundati sunt.
15 Unus autem ex illis, ut vidit quia mundatus est, regressus est, cum magna voce magnificans Deum,
16 et cecidit in faciem ante pedes ejus, gratias agens: et hic erat Samaritanus.
17 Respondens autem Jesus, dixit: Nonne decem mundati sunt? et novem ubi sunt?
18 Non est inventus qui rediret, et daret gloriam Deo, nisi hic alienigena.
19 Et ait illi: Surge, vade: quia fides tua te salvum fecit.
20 Interrogatus autem a pharisaeis: Quando venit regnum Dei? respondens eis, dixit: Non venit regnum Dei cum observatione:
21 neque dicent: Ecce hic, aut ecce illic. Ecce enim regnum Dei intra vos est.
22 Et ait ad discipulos suos: Venient dies quando desideretis videre unum diem Filii hominis, et non videbitis.
23 Et dicent vobis: Ecce hic, et ecce illic. Nolite ire, neque sectemini:
24 nam, sicut fulgur coruscans de sub caelo in ea quae sub caelo sunt, fulget: ita erit Filius hominis in die sua.
25 Primum autem oportet illum multa pati, et reprobari a generatione hac.
26 Et sicut factum est in diebus Noe, ita erit et in diebus Filii hominis:
27 edebant et bibebant: uxores ducebant et dabantur ad nuptias, usque in diem, qua intravit Noe in arcam: et venit diluvium, et perdidit omnes.
28 Similiter sicut factum est in diebus Lot: edebant et bibebant, emebant et vendebant, plantabant et aedificabant:
29 qua die autem exiit Lot a Sodomis, pluit ignem et sulphur de caelo, et omnes perdidit:
30 secundum haec erit qua die Filius hominis revelabitur.
31 In illa hora, qui fuerit in tecto, et vasa ejus in domo, ne descendat tollere illa: et qui in agro, similiter non redeat retro.
32 Memores estote uxoris Lot.
33 Quicumque quaesierit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam: et quicumque perdiderit illam, vivificabit eam.
34 Dico vobis: In illa nocte erunt duo in lecto uno: unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur:
35 duae erunt molentes in unum: una assumetur, et altera relinquetur: duo in agro: unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur.
36 Respondentes dicunt illi: Ubi Domine?
37 Qui dixit illis: Ubicumque fuerit corpus, illuc congregabuntur et aquilae.
18 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,
2 dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.
3 Vidua autem quaedam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo.
4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post haec autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:
5 tamen quia molesta est mihi haec vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me.
6 Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit:
7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?
8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?
9 Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam:
10 Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent: unus pharisaeus et alter publicanus.
11 Pharisaeus stans, haec apud se orabat: Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus:
12 jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quae possideo.
13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.
14 Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
15 Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.
16 Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos: talium est enim regnum Dei.
17 Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.
18 Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam aeternam possidebo?
19 Dixit autem ei Jesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.
20 Mandata nosti: non occides; non moechaberis; non furtum facies; non falsum testimonium dices; honora patrem tuum et matrem.
21 Qui ait: Haec omnia custodivi a juventute mea.
22 Quo audito, Jesus ait ei: Adhuc unum tibi deest: omnia quaecumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo: et veni, sequere me.
23 His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde.
24 Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!
25 facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.
26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?
27 Ait illis: Quae impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.
28 Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.
29 Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,
30 et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in saeculo venturo vitam aeternam.
31 Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quae scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:
32 tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:
33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.
34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quae dicebantur.
35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, caecus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.
36 Et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.
37 Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.
38 Et clamavit, dicens: Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.
39 Et qui praeibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David, miserere mei.
40 Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,
41 dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine, ut videam.
42 Et Jesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.
43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
19 Et ingressus perambulabat Jericho.
2 Et ecce vir nomine Zachaeus: et hic princeps erat publicanorum, et ipse dives:
3 et quaerebat videre Jesum, quis esset: et non poterat prae turba, quia statura pusillus erat.
4 Et praecurrens ascendit in arborem sycomorum ut videret eum: quia inde erat transiturus.
5 Et cum venisset ad locum, suspiciens Jesus vidit illum, et dixit ad eum: Zachaee, festinans descende: quia hodie in domo tua oportet me manere.
6 Et festinans descendit, et excepit illum gaudens.
7 Et cum viderent omnes, murmurabant, dicentes quod ad hominem peccatorem divertisset.
8 Stans autem Zachaeus, dixit ad Dominum: Ecce dimidium bonorum meorum, Domine, do pauperibus: et si quid aliquem defraudavi, reddo quadruplum.
9 Ait Jesus ad eum: Quia hodie salus domui huic facta est: eo quod et ipse filius sit Abrahae.
10 Venit enim Filius hominis quaerere, et salvum facere quod perierat.
11 Haec illis audientibus adjiciens, dixit parabolam, eo quod esset prope Jerusalem: et quia existimarent quod confestim regnum Dei manifestaretur.
12 Dixit ergo: Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum, et reverti.
13 Vocatis autem decem servis suis, dedit eis decem mnas, et ait ad illos: Negotiamini dum venio.
14 Cives autem ejus oderant eum: et miserunt legationem post illum, dicentes: Nolumus hunc regnare super nos.
15 Et factum est ut rediret accepto regno: et jussit vocari servos, quibus dedit pecuniam, ut sciret quantum quisque negotiatus esset.
16 Venit autem primus dicens: Domine, mna tua decem mnas acquisivit.
17 Et ait illi: Euge bone serve, quia in modico fuisti fidelis, eris potestatem habens super decem civitates.
18 Et alter venit, dicens: Domine, mna tua fecit quinque mnas.
19 Et huic ait: Et tu esto super quinque civitates.
20 Et alter venit, dicens: Domine, ecce mna tua, quam habui repositam in sudario:
21 timui enim te, quia homo austerus es: tollis quod non posuisti, et metis quod non seminasti.
22 Dicit ei: De ore tuo te judico, serve nequam. Sciebas quod ego homo austerus sum, tollens quod non posui, et metens quod non seminavi:
23 et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam, ut ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illam?
24 Et astantibus dixit: Auferte ab illo mnam, et date illi qui decem mnas habet.
25 Et dixerunt ei: Domine, habet decem mnas.
26 Dico autem vobis, quia omni habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ab eo autem qui non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
27 Verumtamen inimicos meos illos, qui noluerunt me regnare super se, adducite huc: et interficite ante me.
28 Et his dictis, praecedebat ascendens Jerosolymam.
29 Et factum est, cum appropinquasset ad Bethphage et Bethaniam, ad montem qui vocatur Oliveti, misit duos discipulos suos,
30 dicens: Ite in castellum quod contra est: in quod introeuntes, invenietis pullum asinae alligatum, cui nemo umquam hominum sedit: solvite illum, et adducite.
31 Et si quis vos interrogaverit: Quare solvitis? sic dicetis ei: Quia Dominus operam ejus desiderat.
32 Abierunt autem qui missi erant: et invenerunt, sicut dixit illis, stantem pullum.
33 Solventibus autem illis pullum, dixerunt domini ejus ad illos: Quid solvitis pullum?
34 At illi dixerunt: Quia Dominus eum necessarium habet.
35 Et duxerunt illum ad Jesum. Et jactantes vestimenta sua supra pullum, imposuerunt Jesum.
36 Eunte autem illo, substernebant vestimenta sua in via:
37 et cum appropinquaret jam ad descensum montis Oliveti, coeperunt omnes turbae discipulorum gaudentes laudare Deum voce magna super omnibus, quas viderant, virtutibus,
38 dicentes: Benedictus, qui venit rex in nomine Domini: pax in caelo, et gloria in excelsis.
39 Et quidam pharisaeorum de turbis dixerunt ad illum: Magister, increpa discipulos tuos.
40 Quibus ipse ait: Dico vobis, quia si hi tacuerint, lapides clamabunt.
41 Et ut appropinquavit, videns civitatem flevit super illam, dicens:
42 Quia si cognovisses et tu, et quidem in hac die tua, quae ad pacem tibi: nunc autem abscondita sunt ab oculis tuis.
43 Quia venient dies in te: et circumdabunt te inimici tui vallo, et circumdabunt te: et coangustabunt te undique:
44 et ad terram prosternent te, et filios tuos, qui in te sunt, et non relinquent in te lapidem super lapidem: eo quod non cognoveris tempus visitationis tuae.
45 Et ingressus in templum, coepit ejicere vendentes in illo, et ementes,
46 dicens illis: Scriptum est: Quia domus mea domus orationis est: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
47 Et erat docens quotidie in templo. Principes autem sacerdotum, et scribae, et princeps plebis quaerebant illum perdere:
48 et non inveniebant quid facerent illi. Omnis enim populus suspensus erat, audiens illum.
Luke 11-17
New International Version
Luke 11-17
New International Version
Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer(A)(B)
11 One day Jesus was praying(C) in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord,(D) teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom(E) come.[b]
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c](F)
And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”(G)
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.(H)
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you;(I) seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Jesus and Beelzebul(J)(K)
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.(L) 15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul,(M) the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.”(N) 16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.(O)
17 Jesus knew their thoughts(P) and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan(Q) is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God,(R) then the kingdom of God(S) has come upon you.
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.
23 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(T)
24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”(U)
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”(V)
28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God(W) and obey it.”(X)
The Sign of Jonah(Y)
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign,(Z) but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.(AA) 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom;(AB) and now something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah;(AC) and now something greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body(AD)
33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.(AE) 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[g] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[h] your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”
Woes on the Pharisees and the Experts in the Law
37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table.(AF) 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.(AG)
39 Then the Lord(AH) said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.(AI) 40 You foolish people!(AJ) Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor,(AK) and everything will be clean for you.(AL)
42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth(AM) of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.(AN) You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.(AO)
43 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.(AP)
44 “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves,(AQ) which people walk over without knowing it.”
45 One of the experts in the law(AR) answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”
46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.(AS)
47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.(AT) 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom(AU) said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’(AV) 50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel(AW) to the blood of Zechariah,(AX) who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.(AY)
52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”(AZ)
53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say.(BA)
Warnings and Encouragements(BB)
12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[i] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.(BC) 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(BD) 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I tell you, my friends,(BE) do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.(BF) 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(BG) Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(BH)
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.(BI) 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned(BJ) before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man(BK) will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.(BL)
11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,(BM) 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”(BN)
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”(BO)
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool!(BP) This very night your life will be demanded from you.(BQ) Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’(BR)
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”(BS)
Do Not Worry(BT)
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.(BU) And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[j]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor(BV) was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!(BW) 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father(BX) knows that you need them.(BY) 31 But seek his kingdom,(BZ) and these things will be given to you as well.(CA)
32 “Do not be afraid,(CB) little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.(CC) 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor.(CD) Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven(CE) that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.(CF) 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(CG)
Watchfulness(CH)(CI)
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.(CJ) Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.(CK) 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief(CL) was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,(CM) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord(CN) answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(CO) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(CP) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(CQ) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Not Peace but Division(CR)
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism(CS) to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!(CT) 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”(CU)
Interpreting the Times
54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.(CV) 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?(CW)
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.(CX) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(CY)
Repent or Perish
13 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate(CZ) had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?(DA) 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam(DB) fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent,(DC) you too will all perish.”
6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.(DD) 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down!(DE) Why should it use up the soil?’
8 “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”
Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath
10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,(DF) 11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.(DG) She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 13 Then he put his hands on her,(DH) and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath,(DI) the synagogue leader(DJ) said to the people, “There are six days for work.(DK) So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
15 The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?(DL) 16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham,(DM) whom Satan(DN) has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”
17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated,(DO) but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast(DP)(DQ)
18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God(DR) like?(DS) What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree,(DT) and the birds perched in its branches.”(DU)
20 Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[k] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”(DV)
The Narrow Door
22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.(DW) 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door,(DX) because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’(DY)
26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’(DZ)
28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth,(EA) when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west(EB) and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”(EC)
Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem(ED)(EE)
31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod(EF) wants to kill you.”
32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’(EG) 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet(EH) can die outside Jerusalem!
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(EI) and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(EJ) I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[l]”(EK)
Jesus at a Pharisee’s House(EL)
14 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,(EM) he was being carefully watched.(EN) 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(EO) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(EP) 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[m] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”(EQ) 6 And they had nothing to say.
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(ER) he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(ES)
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,(ET) 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(EU)
The Parable of the Great Banquet(EV)
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast(EW) in the kingdom of God.”(EX)
16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’(EY)
22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”(EZ)
The Cost of Being a Disciple
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.(FA) 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.(FB)
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(FC)
34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(FD) 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.(FE)
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(FF)
The Parable of the Lost Sheep(FG)
15 Now the tax collectors(FH) and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”(FI)
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:(FJ) 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?(FK) 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’(FL) 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.(FM)
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[n] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’(FN) 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”(FO)
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.(FP) 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’(FQ) So he divided his property(FR) between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth(FS) in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.(FT) 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned(FU) against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.(FV)
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.(FW) I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe(FX) and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger(FY) and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;(FZ) he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.(GA)
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry(GB) and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property(GC) with prostitutes(GD) comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”(GE)
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
16 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.(GF) 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’
3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “‘Nine hundred gallons[o] of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’
7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’
“‘A thousand bushels[p] of wheat,’ he replied.
“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’
8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world(GG) are more shrewd(GH) in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.(GI) 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth(GJ) to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.(GK)
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,(GL) and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth,(GM) who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?
13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”(GN)
14 The Pharisees, who loved money,(GO) heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.(GP) 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves(GQ) in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts.(GR) What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
Additional Teachings
16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.(GS) Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached,(GT) and everyone is forcing their way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.(GU)
18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(GV)
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.(GW) 20 At his gate was laid a beggar(GX) named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.(GY) Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham,(GZ) have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’(HA)
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(HB) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(HC) 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,(HD) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses(HE) and the Prophets;(HF) let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’(HG) he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Sin, Faith, Duty
17 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble(HH) are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.(HI) 2 It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones(HJ) to stumble.(HK) 3 So watch yourselves.
“If your brother or sister[q] sins against you, rebuke them;(HL) and if they repent, forgive them.(HM) 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”(HN)
