Stories of Jesus --- Part 9

Luke 15:1-10 ( NRSV ) Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “ This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable: “ Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it ? When he has found it , he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.” Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. “ Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it ? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.” Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

 

Luke 19: 7-10 ( NLT ) But the crowds were displeased. “ He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “ I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have overcharged people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” Jesus responded, “ Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a son of Abraham. And I, the Son of Man, have come to seek and save those like him who are lost.”

路加福音15:1--10 众税吏和坏人都来挨近耶稣，要听他讲道。法利赛人和经学教师们埋怨说：“这个人竟接待坏人，并且跟他们一起吃饭！”因此，耶稣给他们讲一个比喻：“你们当中，谁有一百只羊而失去了一只，不把这九十九只撇在旷野，去找那只迷失的，直到找着了为止呢？一旦找着了，他就高兴的把羊儿搁在肩膀上，带回家去，然后邀请朋友邻居来，对他们说：‘来跟我一起庆祝吧，我那只迷失的羊儿已经找着了！’同样，我告诉你们，一个罪人悔改，在天上也要这样为他欢喜，比起为九十九个不用悔改的正义的人欢喜更大。

“或是一个女人有十个银币，若失掉了一个，岂不点起灯来，打扫房子，到处仔细寻找，直到找着为止。一旦找着了，她就邀请朋友和邻居来，对她们说：‘来跟我一起庆祝吧，我那遗失的银币已经找着了！’ 同样，我告诉你们，上帝的天使也要为了一个罪人的悔改而高兴。”

 

路加福音19:7--10 大家看见都埋怨说：“这个人居然到罪人家里作客！” 撒该站起来对主说：“主啊，我要把我财产的一半分给穷人；如果我欺诈过谁，我就还他四倍。”耶稣对他说：“今天救恩来到这一家了，因为这个人同样是亚伯拉罕的子孙。而我，人子来，是要寻找和拯救迷失的人。”
