Jesus, help me understand your Good News

He will prepare the way of the Lord"

Mary said to the angel, "How can this happen since I am a virgin?"

The angel replied "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will specially bless you. Know this too: your cousin Elizabeth has, in her old age, conceived a son, and is now in her sixth  month"

天使回答：「聖神會臨於你，至高者的能力會
特別降福你。 也知道這：你的表親依撒伯爾，
在她晚年，已懷一子，現已六個月。」

Joseph and Mary moved back to their own town of Nazareth.
The child Jesus was filled with wisdom as he grew older

Each year  Joseph and Mary would take Jesus to Jerusalem for the celebration of the  Passover. When Jesus was 12 years old, they went to Jerusalem as usual

But when their traveling group left Jerusalem, Jesus stayed behind without his parents knowing it.  They presumed he was somewhere with the group. When they couldn't find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him

After 2 days, they found him, in the Temple, listening to the religion teachers and asking them questions. People who heard him were astounded at his intelligence

His mother said to him "My child, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been really worried about you"

Jesus replied "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I must be concerned with my Father's work?"  But they didn't understand what he meant

He went with them to Nazareth and lived under their authority.
His mother stored all these things in her heart

Jesus, please help all "lost children" to be found!

他們以為他與同行者一起在某處。
當他們找不到他時，他們返回耶路撒冷去找他。

兩日後，他們找到他，在聖殿，
正留心傾聽宗教領袖和向他們發問。
聽過他發言的人對他的智慧感到驚訝。

他的母親對他說：「孩子，你為什麼這樣待我們？
你父親和我一直很擔心你。」

耶穌回答：「你們為什麼找我？
你們不知道我要做我父的工作？」

他跟他們回到納匝肋和順從他們。
他母親把這所有事保存在心中。

He got into one boat, it belonged to Simon Peter, and taught people from the boat, away from the shore a little distance

When he'd finished speaking he said to Simon "Go out further to deep water and use your nets for a catch of fish"

Simon replied "Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but if you say so I'll lower the nets"

They soon caught so many fish that the nets began to tear. They called to their friends in the second boat to come and help. Both boats were soon filled with fish

Peter fell at Jesus' knees and said "Leave me, Lord, I am a sinful man", for he was overcome by the catch they had made, as were James and John who were his partners

But Jesus said to Simon "Don't be afraid. From now on, you will be fishers of men".  Simon and his friends then left everything to follow Jesus

People came from far and near to hear him teach, and to ask for healing

One day some people carried  a paralyzed man through a crowd to Jesus. The man was on a stretcher

Jesus knew that these people believed he could help them,
so he said to the paralyzed man "My friend, your sins are forgiven"

Some religious leaders in the crowd were thinking to themselves
that Jesus was wrong to say he could forgive sins

So Jesus said to the leaders "Which is easier:
to say 'Your sins are forgiven', or to say 'Get up and walk'?"

Then to prove that he had authority to forgive sins, he said to the paralyzed man "Get up, pick up your bed and go home"

The man got up, picked up his stretcher and went home.
The crowd praised God for what they had seen

Jesus, please give me more faith
in your power to forgive, your power to heal

耶穌知道這些人相信他可以幫助他們，
所以他對癱子說：「我的朋友，你的罪赦了。」

在人群中的宗教領袖暗自在想
耶穌說他可以赦免罪過是錯的。

所以耶穌對領袖說：「哪個更容易：
說『你的罪赦了』，或說『起來行走』？」

然後證明他有赦罪的權柄，他對癱子說：
「起來，拿起你的床並回家去。」

The religious leaders complained "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and outcasts?" 

Jesus replied "It is not those who are well who need the doctor, but the sick. I have come to call sinners, not the virtuous, to repentance"

Jesus, thank you for befriending people who were looked down on.

Jesus replied "Don't you remember what King David and his followers once did when they were hungry? They ate the Temple bread which only the priests were allowed to eat

I am Master of the Sabbath"

Jesus,  please help me understand
 that love is more important than law

第 6 ( 1 - 5 ) 章

在安息日，耶穌和他的門徒行經一片麥田。
門徒餓了。 他們撿了一些麥穗來吃。

在安息日撿麥被法利賽人視為犯法的。
所以法利賽人對耶穌說：
「你的門徒犯了安息日的法律。」

耶穌回答：
「你不記得達味和他的隨從饑餓時，
他們曾經做了什麼？ 
他們吃了只准司祭進食的供餅。

人子是安息日的主。」

耶穌，人子，請幫助我明白愛比法律更重要

Chapter 6 (6 - 11)

On another Sabbath Jesus  visited a prayer hall.
A man with a withered hand was in the prayer hall

Some religious leaders were watching to see if Jesus would heal the man (since no work was allowed on the Sabbath, and they regarded healing as work)

Jesus knew what they were thinking,  so he said to the man with the withered hand "Stand up! Come out into the middle of the hall".
He came out and stood there

Jesus then asked the leaders "Is it against the law on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil; to save life or to destroy it?"

Then he said to the man with the withered hand
"Stretch out your hand". He stretched it out. It was healed.

The leaders were very angry. They left the prayer hall
and began plotting how to get rid of Jesus

Jesus, please stop bad religious leaders from misleading people

第 6 ( 6 - 11 ) 章

在另一個安息日，耶穌到會堂去。
一手枯萎的男子在會堂。

一些宗教領袖觀察著耶穌，看他會否醫治該男子。
(因為在安息日不准工作，他們視醫治為工作。)

耶穌知道他們正在想什麼，
所以他對一手枯萎的男子說：
「站起！ 來到會堂中央。」 他出來並站在那裡。

然後耶穌問領袖：「是否違法在安息日行善或
作惡；拯救生命或摧毀它？」

那時他對一手枯萎的男子說：
「伸出你的手？」 他伸出手。 手痊癒了。

領袖非常憤怒。
他們離開會堂並開始密謀如何摌除耶穌。

耶穌，請阻止壞的宗教領袖誤導民眾

Chapter 6 (12 - 16)

Jesus went to the hills to pray. He spent a whole night praying.
In the morning he called all his disciples together. He chose 12 of them and called them "apostles":

Peter and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon, Judas son of James - and Judas Iscariot who became a traitor

Jesus and the 12 came down from the hill to a place of level ground.
Gathered there were his many disciples and a large crowd of people from all over the country who had come to hear him and to be healed of diseases

People in the crowd tried to touch Jesus because power came out of him that cured everyone

Jesus, please bless modern day apostles who pray for the sick to be healed

第 6 ( 12 - 16 ) 章

斐理伯和巴爾多祿茂、瑪竇和多默、
阿耳斐的兒子雅各伯、西滿、雅各伯的兒子猶達，
和成了叛徒的猶達斯依斯加略。

耶穌和十二人下山去到一塊平地上。

那裡聚集了他眾多的門徒和
各地的群眾來聽他講道和給治病。

群眾設法觸摸耶穌因他發出為各人治病的能力。

Chapter 6 (20 - 26)

Jesus said to his disciples
"Blessed are you who are poor: yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who are hungry: you shall be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now: you shall be happy

Blessed are you when people hate you because of me:
your reward will be great in heaven

But alas for you who are rich: your consolation is only in this world.
Alas for you who have plenty to eat: you shall go hungry.
Alas for you who laugh now: you shall mourn and weep"

Jesus, please help me to give more time and importance to the things that really matter

第 6 ( 20 - 26 ) 章

耶穌對他的門徒說：
「貧窮的人有福：神的國是你們的。
饑餓的人有福：你們會得飽足。
現在哭泣的人有福：你們將會快樂。

為了我而受人們憎惡的人有福：
你們在天上的獎賞會是豐厚的。

但富有的人有禍：你們的安慰只在這世界。
飽足的人有禍：你們將要挨餓。
現在歡笑的人有禍：你們會悲哀和哭泣。」

耶穌，請幫助我給真正緊要的事情更多時間和重視

Chapter 6 (27 - 38)

Jesus said to the people

"Love your enemies. Do good to people who hate you. Pray for people who are unkind to you. Treat others as you would like them to treat you

Be compassionate as your heavenly Father is compassionate. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned

Grant pardon, and you will be pardoned. Give, and there will be gifts for you. The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given back"

Jesus, bless ....(name)....who was unkind to me

第 6 ( 27 - 38 ) 章

耶穌對民眾說：

「愛你們的敵人。 善待憎恨你們的人。
為對你們不友善的人祈禱。
以對待自己的態度去對待別人。

富同情心如同你們的天父富同情心。
不審判人，你們就不會受審判。
不定人罪，你們就不會被定罪。

寬恕人，你們就會被寬恕。
施予，那裡有贈予給你們。
你們用什麼升斗量，也用什麼升斗量給你們。」

耶穌，請降福給對我不友善的(..名字..)

Chapter 6 (41 - 45)

In his teaching, Jesus said "Why do you notice the splinter in someone else's eye, but don't notice the plank in your own eye?  Deal with your own faults before you start correcting other people

A good tree does not produce bad fruit. A bad tree does not produce good fruit. The fruit tells you what sort of tree it came from

So with people: their words and actions tell you what their heart is like - good or bad

Jesus, please help me be a good person, producing good fruit

第 6 ( 39 - 45 ) 章

在他的教導，耶穌說：
「為什麼你們看見別人眼中的木屑，
但看不見自己眼中的大樑？
處理好自己的過失，然後動手糾正他人。

一棵好樹不會結壞果實。
一棵壞樹不會結好果實。
果實告訴你它生長於那種樹。

至於人：他們的言行告訴你們
他們的心是怎麼樣 - 好或壞。」

耶穌，請幫我做一個好人，結好果子

Chapter 6 (46 - 49)

In his teaching, Jesus said "Why do you call me 'Lord', yet do not do what I ask you to do?

Anyone who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them into practice is like a man who built his house on a solid foundation. That house was so well built that even floods could not damage it

But anyone who listens and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built his house without a foundation. As soon as floods came, the house collapsed"

Jesus, please help me put your words into practice; help me apply them in my daily life

第 6 ( 46 - 49 ) 章

在他的教導，耶穌說：「為什麼你們稱呼我『主』，
但不按照我吩咐你的去做？

誰到我這裡來，聽我的道理，並實踐它們，
就如一個人將他的屋建築在一個堅實的地基上。
那屋建築如此堅穩，甚至洪水也不能摧毀它。

但誰聽了我的道理而不實行
就如一個人建築一所沒有地基的屋，
洪水一來，那屋就倒塌。」

耶穌，請幫我付諸實踐你的話；
幫我應用它們於我日常生活中

Chapter 7 (1 - 10)

The Jewish friends said to Jesus "He deserves this of you. He is friendly to our people. He is the one who built our prayer hall"

Jesus went with them,  but before they reached the house the centurion sent some servants with the message "Sir, I am not worthy to receive you into my house. This is why I didn't come to you personally.  Just say a word, and my servant will be healed"

When Jesus heard these words, he said to the crowd following him
"I have not found faith as great as this man's"

When the messengers got back to the house,
they saw that the servant was healed and in perfect health

"Jesus,  I am not worthy to receive you.  Say but the word and I shall be healed" (prayer from Communion service)

他對我們的民族友好。 他為我們建造會堂。」

耶穌和他們同去，但他們到達大宅前
百夫長派僕人帶來口信：
「先生，我不配在我家接待你，
這是我沒親自到來的原因。 
只要說句話，我的僕人就治癒。」

當耶穌聽到這些話，他對跟隨他的群眾說：

A religious leader invited Jesus for a meal. A woman who had a bad name heard that Jesus was at the leader's home

She entered the house and knelt behind Jesus, crying. Her tears fell on Jesus' feet and she wiped them away with her hair. She covered his feet with kisses, and put  ointment on them

The leader was thinking "If Jesus is a prophet, he would know what sort of woman is now touching him"

So Jesus said to the leader "I came into your house and you did not follow the custom of pouring water on my feet. But this woman has poured out her tears on my feet

You gave me no welcoming kiss, but she has been covering my feet with kisses. You gave me no welcoming oil on my head, but she has anointed my feet

And I tell you that her sins must have been forgiven, or she would not have shown such great love. People who are forgiven little, show  little love"

Jesus, please forgive my sins. Help me show great love

第 7 ( 36 - 50 ) 章

一位宗教領袖請耶穌吃飯，
有一位聲名狼藉的婦人聞知耶穌在領袖的家。

她進入屋並跪在耶穌的背後哭泣。
她的眼淚滴在耶穌雙腳，
她就用她的頭髮把它們抹掉。
她連連親吻他雙腳，並給它們塗上香油。

領袖在想：「如果耶穌是先知，
他該知道觸摸他的是一個怎樣的女人。」

因此耶穌對領袖說：「我來到你家，
而你沒有遵照習俗給我倒水洗腳。
但這婦人剛以她的眼淚洗我雙腳。

你沒給我歡迎的親吻，但她不斷親吻我雙腳。
你沒給我的頭塗上歡迎的香油，但她給我雙腳塗油。

我告訴你她的罪已被赦免，要不然她不會表示
如此深厚的愛。 那赦免少的，表示的愛也少。」

耶穌，寬恕我的罪過。 幫我表示深厚的愛

Jesus went to many towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News

The 12 apostles went with him, as did a group of women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna and several others

Chapter 8 (4 - 15)

One day Jesus told the people this story:

A farmer was planting seeds in his field.
Some seeds fell on the path. Birds ate them

Some seeds fell on rocky ground.
They became sickly plants, without roots, and died

Some seeds fell among thorns.
When they became plants, they were choked by the thorns

Some seeds fell on good soil
and produced a rich harvest

People who hear God's word without good will
are like the seeds on the path.
They are easy prey for Satan

People who hear God's word only superficially
are like the seeds on rocky ground.
As soon as difficulties come, such people easily give up

People who hear God's word with one ear
but with the other are listening to the call of greed and pleasure
are like the seeds among thorns. Greed kills the word

People who hear God's word with good will and put it into practice
are like the good seeds which produced a rich harvest

Jesus, please help me be good seed!

第 8 ( 4 - 15 ) 章

有一天，耶穌給人們講這個故事：

一個農夫正在他的田裏播種。
有些種子落在路上。 鳥兒吃掉它們。

有些種子落在岩石地上。
它們成為體弱的植物，無根，就枯萎了。

有些種子落在荊棘裏。
當它們成為植物，荊棘阻止它們生長。

有些種子落在肥沃的土地，結出大量果實。

那些不懷善意聽神信息的人，
就像種子落在路上。
他們成為撒旦易取的獵物。

那些只是表面聽神信息的人，
就像落在岩石地上的種子。
一旦遇到困難，這些人輕易放棄。

那些只用一隻耳聽神信息的人，
而另一隻耳聽取貪婪和享樂的召喚，
就像種子落在荊棘裏。 貪婪扼殺了信息。

那些懷善意聽神信息和把它付諸實踐的人，
就像結出大量果實的好種子。

耶穌，請幫助我成為好種子！

Chapter 8 (19 -21)

Jesus' mother and his brothers came looking for him.

到了屋，耶穌只准伯多祿、雅各伯、若望和
女孩的父母跟他進去。

The 72 came back rejoicing. "Lord", they said, "even the devils submit to us when we use your name"

Jesus replied "Yes, I have given you  power to tread underfoot the whole strength of the enemy

Yet do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you. Rejoice rather that your names are written in heaven

Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it"

Jesus, thank you for the gift of faith

但不要為魔鬼屈服於你們而高興，
要為你們的名字登記在天上而高興。

想聽你們所聽到的，從沒聽到。」

他回答：「你應全心全意愛主你的神。
及你關心他人如你關心自己一樣。」

「你答得對，」耶穌說，「這樣做就得生命。」

耶穌，幫助我全心全意愛你.....
及關心他人如我關心自己一樣

Chapter 10 (29 - 37)

The religious leader then asked another question: "Who is my neighbor?"

Jesus replied "A man on a journey was attacked by robbers. They beat him, took all he had, and left him seriously injured

A priest came by and saw the man, but did not help him. A temple worker also saw him, but did not help.  But a lowly foreigner who saw him was moved with pity

The foreigner bandaged his wounds, and used his own donkey to take the man to an inn. He paid the innkeeper to look after the man

Which of the three was a neighbor to the injured man?"

The leader replied "The one who helped him". Jesus then said "Go, and do the same"

Jesus, please don't let me ignore people who need help 

第 10 ( 29 - 37 ) 章

然後宗教領袖問另一問題：「誰是我的鄰舍？」

耶穌回答：「一男子在旅途中遭強盜搶劫。
他們打他，奪取他的所有，並留下他身受重傷。

一位教士經過，看見這男子，但沒有幫他。
一個會堂工人也看見他，但沒有幫他。
但一個卑微的外邦人看見他，他動了憐憫心。

外邦人替他包紮傷口，
用自己的驢把他送到旅館。
他付錢給旅館主人照顧他。

這三個人誰是傷者的鄰舍？」

宗教領袖回答：「那個幫他的人。」
耶穌然後說：「去，就照樣做。」

耶穌，請不要讓我不理需要幫助的人

Chapter 10 (38-42)
Jesus and his disciples visited the home of Martha and Mary. Mary sat at Jesus' feet and listened to him speaking. Martha complained "Lord, do you not care that my sister is not helping me with the serving?" But the Lord answered "Martha, Martha, you worry and fret about so many things. Mary has chosen has made a better choice"
Jesus, please bless my serving and my listening!

----------------------------------------------

Chapter 11 (1 - 4)

Once when Jesus had finished praying in private, one of his disciples asked him "Lord, teach us to pray". Jesus replied "Pray like this:

Father, may everyone love and honor you.
Your kingdom come.
Thank you for enough food for today.
Forgive us as we forgive others.
Save us in time of trial"

Jesus, please teach me how to pray 

 ----------------------------------------------------------------

第 11 ( 1 - 4 ) 章

有一次當耶穌完成個人祈禱後，
其中一個門徒請求他：「主，教我們祈禱。」
耶穌回答：「像這樣祈禱：

父，願各人都愛和尊敬你。
願你的國來臨。 多謝每天充足的食糧。
寬恕我們如同我們寬恕別人一樣。
免我們陷於誘惑。」

耶穌，請教我怎樣祈禱

Chapter 11 (9 - 13)

Jesus said to his disciples "Ask, and it will be given to you. 
Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open

If children ask their parents for something good, their parents will always give it to them

Even more so  will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him

Heavenly Father, please give me your Holy Spirit!

第 11 ( 9 - 13 ) 章

耶穌對他的門徒說：「祈求就會給你們。
尋求你們就會找到。 敲而門就會開。

如果孩子要求他們的父母好東西，
他們的父母總是給他們。

天父甚至更加會這樣做，
把聖神給那些向他祈求的人。」

天父，請賜你的聖神給我！

Chapter 11 (27 - 32)

While Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out
"Blessed the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you"

Jesus replied "Even more blessed are those who hear the word of God and put it into practice!"

Jesus also said "On Judgement day, the Queen of the South will rise up with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from a distant country to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here"

Jesus, greater than Solomon, please help me put your teaching into practice

第 11 ( 27 - 32 ) 章

當耶穌在說話，有一婦人在人群中大叫：
「孕育你和給你喂奶的人是有福的。」

耶穌回答：
「聽神的話和把它實踐的人更有福！」

耶穌也說：
「在審判日，南方女王會起來定這一代人的罪，
因為她從遙遠的國家來聽撒羅滿的智慧，
這裡有些比撒羅滿更偉大的東西。」

耶穌，比撒羅滿更偉大，
請幫助我付諸實踐你的教導

Chapter 11 (37 - 54)

Jesus said to the religious leaders "You worry so much about cleaning dirty dishes,  but don't care about having a dirty heart full of extortion and wickedness

At meetings and in the market, you like being treated as people of importance. But in fact you are like unmarked tombs that people walk on without knowing it

You expect ordinary people to observe unreasonable laws, while you excuse yourselves from such laws

You don't care about obtaining real wisdom, and you prevent others from obtaining wisdom"

The leaders were stung by Jesus' words, and they intensified their efforts to trap him in his speech

Jesus, help religious leaders be sincere people   

第 11 ( 37 - 54 ) 章

耶穌對宗教領袖說：
「你們為清潔不潔的碟子而非常操心，
但不介意一顆充滿敲詐勒索和邪惡的不潔心。

在會議和在市集，你們喜歡被看待為重要人物。
但事實上，你們就像沒標記的墳墓，
人在上面行走也不知。

你們要求一般人遵守不合理的法律，
然而你們不受法律約束。

你們對獲得真正的智慧不感興趣，
你們就阻止他人獲得智慧。」

領袖被耶穌的話剌痛，
他們更加努力以他的言論陷害他。

耶穌，幫助宗教領袖成為真誠的人

Chapter 12 (15 - 21)

Jesus told the people this story: There was a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself "What am I to do? I don't have enough room to store my crops". 

Then he said to himself "This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, and have a good time"

But God said to him "Fool! This very night your earthly life will come to an end. And all your possessions, who will get them?"

So it is when people store up treasure for themselves, 
instead of making themselves rich in the sight of God

Jesus, please help me to be satisfied with what I have, 
and not to be greedy

第 12 ( 15 - 21 ) 章

耶穌給民眾講這故事：
有一個富人，剛收獲豐富的田產，
心想：「我該怎麼做？ 
我沒有足夠地方收藏我的田產。」

接著他對自己說：
「我會這樣做：我會拆毀我的糧倉，建造更大的，
貯存我所有的糧食，那時我會對我的靈魂說：
靈魂，你為未來幾年貯存了大量好東西；
先休息，吃，喝，玩樂。」

但神對他說：「傻瓜！ 這夜你的生命會結束。
而你所有的財產，誰會獲得？」

當人們為自己貯存財富，
而不是使自己在神眼中是富有的也是如此。

耶穌，請幫我滿足於我所擁有，不要貪婪

Chapter 12 (22 - 34)

Jesus said to his disciples "Do not worry about food and clothing

As regards food, think of the birds. They don't sow or reap, and they have no homes to store things. Yet God feeds them

As regards clothing, think how the flowers grow with a beauty greater than that of Solomon's clothes. God will look after you more than he looks after the flowers

So, don't set your hearts on food and clothing. Don't go in for worry. Just set your hearts on God's kingdom, then food and clothing will not be a problem

Where your treasure is, that is where your heart will be too

Jesus, please help me to put your friendship as number one in my life

第 12 ( 22 - 34 ) 章

耶穌對門徒說：「不必擔憂食物和衣服。

至於食物，想想雀鳥，牠們不播種也不收割，
牠們沒有居所存放東西。 然而神養活牠們。

至於衣服，
想想花朵比撒羅滿王的衣服長得更漂亮。 
神會比照顧花兒更照顧你們。

所以，別操心食物和飲料。 不要去擔心。
只把心放在神的國，
那時食物和飲料和衣服會不成問題。

你的財富在那裡，即你的心也會在那裡。」

耶穌，請幫我把你的友誼放在我生命的首位

Chapter 12 (35 - 38)

Jesus said to his disciples "Be like people waiting for their master to return, ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks. Be ready, for I will come at an hour you do not expect

"When someone is given a great deal, of that person more will be expected"

Jesus, you have given me so much. Please help me use my gifts and my situation to do more  to help other people

第 12 ( 35 - 48 ) 章

耶穌對門徒說：「像人們等候他們的主人回來，
準備打開門當他一回來敲門。
準備好，因人子在你們意想不到的時候回來。

交托給誰的多，向誰索取的更多。」

耶穌，你給我這麼多。
請幫助我用我的才能和情況做更多幫助別人

Chapter 13 (10 - 17)

One Sabbath day Jesus was teaching in a prayer hall. There was a woman there who for 18 years had been possessed by a spirit which left her bent over and unable to stand up straight

When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said "Woman, you are rid of your infirmity" and he laid his hands on her. At once she was healed and could stand up straight, and she glorified God

Jesus, please heal the people I know who are bent over and can't stand up straight

第 13 ( 10 - 17 ) 章

一個安息日耶穌在會堂施教。 
有一婦人已被惡魔附身十八年，
它令她彎腰弓背和不能站直。

當耶穌看見她，他叫她過來，說：
「婦人，你擺脫了你的疾病，」 他給她覆手。
立刻她治癒並能站直，她讚揚神。

耶穌，請醫治我認識的人
他們彎腰弓背及不能挺身直立

Chapter 13 (18 - 35)

Jesus said to the people "The kingdom of God is like a tiny seed
planted in the ground. It grows and becomes a big tree, and the birds
live in its branches

The kingdom of heaven is like yeast mixed with flour until the flour
is leavened all through

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill the prophets who are sent to you. How often have I longed to gather your children, as a hen gathers her
chickens under her wings, and you refused"

Jesus, may your kingdom grow in the hearts of more and more people

第 13 ( 18 - 35 ) 章

耶穌對民眾說：
「神的國像一顆種在地上的小種子。 
它長成一棵大樹，雀鳥在它的枝上棲息。

天國像酵母與麵粉混合直到麵粉全部發酵。

耶路撒冷，耶路撒冷，你殺害派來的先知。
我經常渴望聚集你的孩子，
如母雞聚集牠的小雞在牠的翅膀下，而你拒絕。」

耶穌，願你的國長在越來越多的人心中

Chapter 14 (1 - 6)

One Sabbath day Jesus went for a meal to the house of a religious leader. In the house Jesus saw a man with dropsy

Jesus asked the leaders present there "Is it against the Law to cure a man on the Sabbath?" But they remained silent

Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away.
Then Jesus said to the leaders "Which of you here, if his son falls into a well, will not pull him out on a Sabbath day?"
Again  the leaders remained silent

Jesus, help me understand that "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath"

第 14 ( 1 - 6 ) 章

一個安息日，耶穌去一個宗教領袖的家吃飯。
在屋裏耶穌看見一個患水腫的人。

耶穌問出席的領袖：「在安息日醫人是否違法？」
但他們保持沉默。

耶穌握著那人，治好他，並打發他走。 
然後耶穌對領袖說：
「在座當中，誰有兒子在安息日掉進井裏，
而不拉他上來？」 他們再次保持沉默。

耶穌，幫助我明白
「安息日是為人而設，人不是為安息日而設」

Chapter 14 (7 - 11)

At the leader's house, Jesus noticed how the guests picked the places of honor

He said to them "When someone invites you to a meal, do not choose a seat of honor. Rather, when you are a guest, make your way to the lowest place and sit there. Maybe your host will ask you to move to a seat of honor

Everyone who exalts himself, will be humbled. Whoever humbles himself, will be exalted"

Jesus, please help me  choose the lowest place

第 14 ( 7 - 11 ) 章

在領袖家中，耶穌注意到客人挑選首席。

他對他們說：
「當有人邀請你們吃飯，勿選首位。
反之，當你們是客人，走到末席並坐在那裡。
或者主人會邀請你們搬到首位。

誰高抬自己的，必降為卑。
誰謙卑自己的，必升為高。」

耶穌，請幫助我選擇最末的位置

Chapter 14 (12 - 14)

Jesus said to the meal guests "When you give a lunch or a dinner, 
do not ask your friends, family, or rich neighbors

Rather, when you have a party, invite the poor, the crippled,
the lame, the blind

That they cannot repay you means you are fortunate, 
because repayment will be made to you when the virtuous rise again"

Jesus, help me do more to help poor people

第 14 ( 12 - 14 ) 章

耶穌對宴會的客人說：「當你們設午宴或晚宴，
不要請你們的朋友，家人或富有的鄰居。 反之，
當你們設宴，邀請窮人、殘廢者、跛子、失明人。

他們不能償還你們即是你們有福，
因你們會得到賞報，當義人復活的時候。」

耶穌，請幫助我做更多幫助窮人

Chapter 15 (11 -24)

Jesus told this story: a man had two sons. The younger said
to his father "Father, give me the share of the estate that would
come to me"

So the father divided his property between them.
A few days later, the younger son left for a distant land where he wasted his money in wild living

When he had used all his money, that country had a severe famine, and he began to feel the pinch, so he got a job on a farm  feeding  pigs. He would willingly have eaten the pigs' food, but no one offered him anything

Then he came to his senses and said "How many of my father's paid
servants have more food than they want, and I am dying of hunger
I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have
sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be
called your son. Treat me as one of your paid servants."
So he left the place and went back to his father

While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved
with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him
tenderly. Then the son said "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son"

But the father said to his servants "Quick! Bring out the best robe
and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Bring the calf we have been fattening, and kill it. We are going to
have a feast, a celebration, because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and is found."

Jesus, please help me understand how much you love me,
no matter what  mistakes I make

第 15 ( 11 - 24 ) 章

耶穌講這個故事：
一男子有兩個兒子。 幼子對父親說：
「父親，把歸我的一份財產給我。」

於是父親把他的財產分配給他們。
幾天後，幼子前往一個遙遠的地方
他在那裡以放蕩生活揮霍錢財。

當他用盡他所有金錢，
該區發生嚴重飢荒，他開始經濟拮据，
因此他在農場找了一份餵豬工作。
他甘願吃豬的食物，但沒人給他任何東西。

那時他醒悟過來說：「我父親眾多的傭工
得到的食物多過他們所需，而我快餓死。
我會離開這地，回到我父親那裡，說：
父親，我得罪了天，也得罪了你。
我再不配稱作你的兒子，
把我當作你的一個傭工。」
所以他離開這地，回到他父親那裡。

當他還在遠處，他父親看見他，動了憐憫之心。
他跑向孩子，把他抱在懷裏和溫柔地親吻他。
然後兒子說：「父親，我得罪了天，
也得罪了你，我再不配稱作你的兒子。」

但父親對他的僕人說：
「快！ 拿最好的衣服給他穿。 
給他戴上指環和穿上鞋。
把那一直育肥的小牛牽來並宰掉。
我們要設盛宴，一個慶祝會，
因為我這個兒子是死而復生，失而復得。」

耶穌，請幫助我明白你多麼愛我，不管我做錯什麼

Chapter 16 (19 - 26)

Jesus told this story to the people: There was a rich man who used to
dress in expensive clothes and feast magnificently every day

At his gate there was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
who longed to eat scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs
even came and licked his sores

The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. In his torment in Hell, the rich man looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus at his side

So the rich man cried out "Father Abraham, pity me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in these flames"

"My son", replied Abraham, "remember that during your life, good
things came your way, just as bad things came the way of Lazarus. Now he is being comforted here, while you are in agony"

Jesus, please help me understand how I should do more to help poor people

第 16 ( 19 - 26 ) 章

耶穌給民眾講這個故事：有一個財主
他慣常身穿華貴衣服及天天奢華地宴樂。

在他的大門，有一個窮人名叫拉匝祿，
全身生瘡，他渴望吃財主桌上掉下的碎屑。
狗還來舔他的瘡。

窮人死了而天使把他帶走與亞巴郎一起。
財主也死了和被埋葬。
在地獄受折磨，財主抬頭看見亞巴郎在遠處，
有拉匝祿坐在他身邊。

於是財主大聲叫喊：「父親亞巴郎，憐憫我，
打發拉匝祿用他的手指尖點些水來涼涼
我的舌頭，因為我在這火燄中極度痛苦。」

「我的兒子，」 亞巴郎回答：「記得你活著時，
享盡你的福，正如拉匝祿受盡了苦。
現在他在這裡受安慰而你受苦。」

耶穌，請幫助我明白我該做更多幫助窮人

Chapter 17 (11 - 19)

On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus entered a village where 10 lepers came to meet him. They stood at a distance and called out "Jesus, Master, take pity on us!"

Jesus said to them "Go and show yourselves to the priests".
As they went away, their leprosy disappeared.

Seeing that he was healed, one of them turned back praising God at the top of his voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him.
This made Jesus say "Were not all 10 healed? Where are the 9 others?"

Jesus, please don't let me forget to say "thank you" when someone helps me

第 17 ( 11 - 19 ) 章

往耶路撒冷的途中，耶穌進入一村莊，
那裡有十個痲瘋病人來見他。
他們遠遠地站着，並大聲叫：
「耶穌，師傅，可憐我們！」

耶穌對他們說：「去叫司祭檢驗你們。」
當他們離去，他們的痲瘋病消失。

看見得到治癒，其中一個折回高聲讚美神。
他跪拜在耶穌跟前感謝他。 這促使耶穌說：
「不是醫好全部十個嗎？ 其餘九人在哪裡？」

耶穌，請不要讓我忘記對幫助我的人說「多謝」

Chapter 18 (1 - 7)

Jesus told his disciples a story about the need to pray continually and never lose heart:

There was a judge who had neither fear of God nor respect for people. In the same town there was a widow who kept asking the judge for justice against someone who had wronged her

For a long time the judge refused to help her, but at last he said to himself "I must give this widow her rights or she will pester me to death"

Even more so God will  see that justice is done for those who cry out to him for help day and night, even if he delays to help them

Jesus, please give me the perseverance to pray each day

第 18 ( 1 - 7 ) 章

耶穌給門徒講一個故事關於需要不斷祈禱
和絶不失去信心：

有一個法官，他既不敬畏神，也不尊重人。
在同一鎮上，有個寡婦不斷要求法官，
法律制裁一個對她做壞事的人。

法官長久拒絕幫助她，但最後他對自己說：
「我必須給予這個寡婦她的權利，
否則她會死纏著我。」

神更想看見日夜哀求他幫助的人給討回公道，
縱使他延誤幫助他們。

耶穌，請給我每天祈禱的毅力

Chapter 18 (9 - 14)

Some people prided themselves on being virtuous, and despised others. Jesus told them this story:

Two men went to the Temple to pray, one a religious leader, the other a social outcast

The leader stood there and said "I thank you, God, that I am not greedy, unjust and adulterous like other people such as this outcast here"

The outcast did not even raise his eyes, but beat his breast and said "God, be merciful to me, a sinner"

The outcast, I tell you, went home a friend of God. The leader did not. People who exalt themselves will be humbled. People who humble themselves will be exalted

Jesus, be merciful to me, a sinner

第 18 ( 9 - 14 ) 章

有些人自傲貞潔，而輕視他人。
耶穌給他們講這故事：

有兩個人到聖殿祈禱，一個是宗教領袖，
另一個是社會敗類。

領袖站在那裡說：「我感謝你，神，我不像
其他人一樣貪心、不義、淫亂、如這個敗類。」

敗類甚至沒抬起他雙眼，只捶自己的胸膛說：
「神，憐憫我這個罪人。」

我告訴你們，敗類回家時是神的朋友。
領袖不是。 誰高舉自己的，必降為卑。
誰謙卑自己的，必升為高。

耶穌，憐憫我這個罪人

Chapter 18 (15 - 17)

People brought little children to Jesus, for him to bless them. The disciples told the people to go away and not bother Jesus

But Jesus called the children to him and said "Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs

I tell you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child, will never enter it"

Jesus, please give all children the chance to know and love you

第 18 ( 15 - 17 ) 章

民眾帶小孩來見耶穌，讓他祝福他們。
門徒叫民眾離開，不要打擾耶穌。

耶穌卻叫小孩來並說：
「讓小孩到我這裡，不要阻止他們，
因為神的國是屬於這樣的人。

我告訴你們，誰若不像小孩一樣歡迎神的國，
永遠不會進入它。」

耶穌，請給所有孩子機會認識和愛你

Chapter 18 (18 - 23)

A young man from a prominent family asked Jesus "What must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Jesus replied "You know the commandments: you must not commit adultery, you must not kill, you must not steal, you must honor your father and mother"

The man answered "I have kept all these commandments all my life"

Jesus then said "There is still one higher goal: sell all  you own,
give the money to the poor, then come follow me"

But when the man heard this he was very sad, because he was very rich

Jesus, please help me follow you the way you want me to follow you

第 18 ( 18 - 23 ) 章

一個來自顯要家族的年青人問耶穌：
「我要做什麼才能得永生？」

耶穌回答：「你知道誡命：你不可姦淫、
你不可殺人、你不可偷盜、你要孝敬你的父母。」

那人回答：「我一輩子一直遵守所有這些誡命。」

耶穌然後說：「還有一個更高的目標：
把你擁有的一切變賣，把錢施捨給窮人，
然後來跟隨我。」

但當那人聽了這話，他非常悲傷，因他很富有。

耶穌，請幫助我跟隨你想我跟隨你的路

Chapter 18 (31 -34)

Once again Jesus explained to the 12 apostles what would happen to him:

"Now we are going to Jerusalem. Everything written about me by the prophets will happen:  I will be handed over to the pagans. I will be mocked and spat on. I will be scourged and put to death. On the third day I will rise from the dead"

But the apostles had no idea what his words meant

Jesus, especially each Friday, please help me to remember you on the Cross

第 18 ( 31 – 34 ) 章

耶穌再次給十二宗徒解釋他會發生什麼事：

「現在我們正前往耶路撒冷。
先知所寫關於人子的一切將會發生：
他會被交到外邦人的手上。
他會被嘲笑和吐口水。 他會被鞭打和處死。
在第三天他死而復生。」

但宗徒不知道他說話裏的意思

耶穌，特別是每個星期五，
請幫助我記得你被釘在十字架

Chapter 18 (35 - 43)

As Jesus entered Jericho, there was a blind beggar sitting by the road. People in the crowd told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by

So he called out "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me". Some people told him to be quiet, but he just shouted all the louder "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me"

Jesus stopped and asked him "What do you want me to do for you?"
He replied "Sir, let me see again"

Jesus said to him "Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you".
Instantly his sight returned, and he followed Jesus, praising God

Jesus, please heal my blind friend ......(name)...

第 18 ( 35 - 43 ) 章

當耶穌進入耶里哥，有一個失明乞丐坐在路旁。
人群裏的人告訴他是納匝肋人耶穌正路過。

他便大叫：「耶穌，達味之子，憐憫我。」
有些人叫他安靜，但他只是叫得更大聲：
「耶穌，達味之子，憐憫我。」

耶穌站住並問他：「你想我為你做什麼？」
他回答：「先生，讓我再看見。」

耶穌對他說：「取回你的視力。 你的信德救了你。」
立刻他恢復視力，他就跟著耶穌，讚美神。

耶穌，請醫治我失明的朋友(..名字..)

Chapter 19 (1 - 9)

In Jericho there was a wealthy man named Zacchaeus, a senior tax collector. He wanted to see what kind of person Jesus was

But because of his short stature he couldn't see over the crowd.
So he climbed a tree

Jesus saw him up the tree and said "Zacchaeus, come down, because I will stay at your house today"

Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Jesus warmly. People complained "He's gone to stay at the house of an outcast"

Zacchaeus replied "Sir, I am going to give half of my property to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone, I'll pay them back fourfold"

Jesus said to him "Today salvation has come to this house"

Jesus, please help more people to want to know and love you

第 19 ( 1 - 9 ) 章

在耶里哥有一個富人名叫匝凱，是高級稅吏。
他想看看耶穌是什樣的人。 

但因他身材矮小，在人群中他看不見。 
所以他爬上一棵樹。

耶穌見他在樹上，說：
「匝凱，下來，因為我今天會在你家留宿。」

匝凱趕快下來，並熱烈地歡迎耶穌。
民眾抱怨：「他去敗類的家留宿。」

匝凱回答：
「先生，我打算把我一半的財產捐給窮人。
如果我曾欺騙任何人，我會四倍奉還給他們。」

耶穌對他說：「今天救恩到了這家。」

耶穌，請幫助更多人想要認識和愛你

Chapter 19 (28 - 40)

When Jesus came near to Jerusalem, he sent two disciples to a nearby village to get a donkey colt which no one had ever ridden

Jesus sat on the colt and began the descent from the Mount of Olives down the hill to Jerusalem

The disciples  spread their clothes on the road,
and joyfully praised God for all the miracles they had seen. They cried out "Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!"

Some religious leaders told Jesus to stop the disciples from calling out. Jesus replied "If these keep silence, the stones will cry out"

Jesus, you who came in the name of the Lord, we praise and love you

第 19 ( 28 - 40 ) 章

當耶穌來到耶路撒冷附近，
他派遣兩個門徒去鄰近的村莊，
牽來一頭從沒有人騎過的小驢。

耶穌騎上小驢，
從橄欖山開始下山到耶路撒冷。

門徒把他們的衣服舖在路上，
為他們所見的所有奇蹟歡欣地讚頌神。
他們叫喊：「奉主之名而來的君王應受讚頌！」

一些宗教領袖叫耶穌阻止門徒叫喊。
耶穌回答：「若這些人不作聲，石頭會喊叫。」

耶穌，你奉主之名而來，我們讚美和愛你

Chapter 19 (41 - 48)

As Jesus caught sight of Jerusalem, he shed tears over it and said "How I wish you had accepted my message of peace. You will be totally destroyed, because you rejected God's offer of grace"

Jesus then went into the Temple and drove out the sellers. According to the Scripture", he said, "my house will be a house of prayer. But you have turned it into a robbers' den"

Each day Jesus taught in the Temple. The leaders wanted to do away with him, but they didn't know how to, since most of the ordinary  people had great respect for Jesus

Jesus, please don't let me ever reject your friendship

第 19 ( 41 - 48 ) 章

當耶穌看見耶路撒冷，他為它流淚並說：
「我多麼希望你巳接受我和平的信息。
你將會完全被摧毀，因為你拒絕了神的恩寵。」

然後耶穌進入聖殿，驅趕賣主。
「根據聖經，」他說，「我的殿宇會是祈禱殿。
但你們已把它變成賊窩。」

每天耶穌在聖殿內施教。
宗教領袖想置他於死地，但他們不知道怎麼做，因大多數的平民都很尊重耶穌。

耶穌，請永不讓我拒絕你的友誼

Chapter 20 (45 - 47)

After some  leaders had asked him some trick questions,
Jesus said to his disciples

"Beware of the religious leaders who like to walk about in special clothes and love to be greeted obsequiously in the market places

They like the front seats in prayer halls and the places of honor at banquets. They like making a show of lengthy prayers.

But at the same time they steal the property of widows. They will receive a severe sentence from God at the end of their lives

Jesus, please help religious leaders be good people

第 20 ( 45 - 47 ) 章

有些領袖問完他一些欺詐的問題後，
耶穌對他的門徒說：

「提防宗教領袖，他們喜歡穿獨特衣服到處走
和喜愛在市集受人奉承的問候。

他們喜歡會堂的主要座位和宴會的首席。
他們喜歡裝作冗長的祈禱。

但同時他們偷寡婦的財產。
他們的生命結束时，他們會受神嚴厲的處罰。」

耶穌，請幫助宗教領袖成為善良的人

Chapter 21 (3 - 38)

Jesus said to his disciples that Jerusalem would be destroyed and its people scattered throughout the world

He also spoke of how his followers would be persecuted,  and of the end of the world: "The planets will be shaken, nations will be in agony,  bewildered by the force of the oceans. Then they will see me coming in a cloud with great power and glory

To prepare for your own end of earthly life, stay faithful to prayer and goodness. Don't let your heart be coarsened by debauchery, drunkenness and material cares"

In this his final week on earth, Jesus spent the daytime in the Temple, teaching. From early morning the people would gather round him to listen to him. Then he would spend the night on the Mount of Olives

Jesus, help me be faithful to prayer and goodness

第 21 ( 3 - 38 ) 章

耶穌告知他的門徒，耶路撒冷會被摧毀和
它的人民會分散到世界各地。

他也談及他的追隨者會受迫害，和世界末日：
「地球會被震動，列國會痛苦不堪，
給海洋的洶湧弄至驚惶失措。
那時他們會見人子帶著大能和榮耀乘雲而來。

為你自己結束世上的生命作準備，信守祈禱及美德。 
不要讓你的心充斥著放蕩、酗酒和物質的憂慮。」

在世的最後一星期，耶穌白天在聖殿施教。
從清晨民眾圍著他，聽他的。
然後，他會在橄欖山上過夜。

耶穌，請幫助我信守祈禱及美德

Chapter 22 (1 - 6)

Big crowds were in Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover which was only a few days away. The religious  leaders were afraid that the crowds would prevent them from killing Jesus

Then he went apart by himself, about 40 meters away, knelt down and prayed "Father, save me from this time of trial. But let your will, not mine, be done"

An angel from heaven appeared to him to give him strength. His agony was so great that his sweat became drops of blood falling to the ground

但按你的旨意，不是我的，行事。」

About an hour later, a man said "He was certainly with them. He is from Galilee". Peter replied "I do not know what you are talking about"

While he was still speaking, a rooster crowed, and the Lord looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered what the Lord had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times"

But the leaders and people screamed out "Away with him. Crucify him!" Pilate asked "Why? What harm has he done?"
They kept shouting "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

Pilate then gave in to them and handed Jesus over for crucifixion

Jesus, how great your mental suffering must have been as the crowd shouted for your death

「你們把這人當作政治煽動者帶到我面前。

我會命人鞭打他，然後釋放他。」

但領袖和民眾尖叫：「殺他。 把他釘十字架！」
比拉多問：「為什麼？ 他犯了什麼惡行？」
他們繼續叫喊：「把他釘十字架！ 把他釘十字架！」

As Jesus was being led to the place of crucifixion, a man named Simon was coming into Jerusalem from the country.
He was made to carry the cross behind Jesus

Two criminals were led out with Jesus to be crucified with him

Jesus, please help me to carry my cross each day

倒不如為自己及你們的子女哭泣。 因為如果
無辜者受這樣的對待，犯罪者會有甚麼遭遇？」

Jesus prayed "Father, forgive them. They do not know what they are doing"

The leaders made fun of him "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God"

我寬恕任何對我不友善的人

One of the criminals hanging on a cross mockingly said to Jesus
"Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well"

Jesus replied "I promise you, this day you will be with me in Paradise"

Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom

Joseph from the town of Arimathaea was a member of the religious leaders' council. He was a good and just man, and had not agreed to the killing of Jesus

Late Friday afternoon, he went to Governor Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. He took it down from the cross, wrapped it in a burial cloth, and put it in a rock tomb that had not yet been used

They entered the tomb and found that the body of Jesus was not there. Suddenly two men in brilliant clothes appeared at their side

The men said to them "Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here. He has risen, just as he said he would"

The women told all this to the eleven apostles. But the apostles did not believe them

Jesus,  increase my faith in your resurrection

出現在她們身邊。

兩人對她們說：「為什麼在死人裏找活人？

但宗徒不相信她們。

耶穌，請增加我對你復活的信德

Chapter 24 (13 - 35)

That same day, two of Jesus' disciples were on their way from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, about 7 km from Jerusalem

As they talked about all that had happened, Jesus himself joined them as they walked along. But they did not recognize him

When Jesus asked them what they were talking about, they said "About Jesus of Nazareth,  and how our leaders had him crucified. And how some women in our group went to Jesus' tomb and were told by angels that he was alive"

Jesus then explained the Scripture passages which predicted his suffering and resurrection

Jesus joined the two men for an evening meal. During the meal,
he blessed  some bread and gave it to them. They then recognized him. But he immediately vanished from their sight

They said to each other "Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?"

Straight away they returned to Jerusalem where the eleven apostles said to them "Yes, it is true. The Lord has risen"

Then they told their story of what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus at the breaking of bread

Jesus, please make my heart burn within me as I read the Bible

厄瑪烏村的路途上，距耶路撒冷約 七公里 。

當他們談論所發生的一切事，
耶穌本人加入他們，當他們沿路走。
但他們不認得他。

當耶穌問他們在談論什麼，
他們說：「關於納匝肋人耶穌，
領袖如何命人把他釘在十字架。
以及我們一些婦女成員如何去到耶穌的墓穴，
被天使告知他活著。」

耶穌那時講解經文，它預言他的苦難和復活。

耶穌與兩人共進晚餐。
用餐時，他祝福一些餅，便分給他們。
他們那時認出他。 但他立刻從他們眼前消失。
