新约 -- 路加福音(Luke) -- 第 18 章
18:9耶稣向那些仗着自己是义人,藐视别人的,设一个比喻,
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
18:10 说:“有两个人上殿里去祷告:一个是法利赛人,一个是税吏。
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
18:11 法利赛人站着,自言自语地祷告说:‘神啊,我感谢你,我不像别人勒索、不义、奸淫,也不像这个税吏。
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
18:12 我一个礼拜禁食两次,凡我所得的,都捐上十分之一。’
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
18:13 那税吏远远地站着,连举目望天也不敢,只捶着胸说:‘神啊,开恩可怜我这个罪人!’
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
18:14 我告诉你们:这人回家去比那人倒算为义了。因为,凡自高的,必降为卑;自卑的,必升为高。”
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. |
