Chapter 1 (18 - 25)    Listen to Chapter 1 (18 -25)

This is how Jesus came to be born.
His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph.

But before they lived together,
Mary became pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.

An angel  appeared to Joseph in a dream
and said

"Joseph, descendant of David,
do not be afraid to live with Mary as your wife".

Her baby has been conceived by the  power of the Holy Spirit.
She will give birth to a son.

You must name him 'Jesus' ('God saves')
because he will save his people from their sins."

Joseph  took Mary to his home as his wife.
She gave birth to a son, Jesus.

第 1 ( 18 - 25 ) 章

耶穌是如何誕生的。
他的母親瑪利亞許配給若瑟。

但他們一起生活前，
瑪利亞因聖神的能力而懷孕。

一名天使在若瑟的夢中顯現
並說：

「若瑟，達味的子孫，
不要害怕與瑪利亞共同生活，做你的妻子。

她的孩子是出於聖神的能力而受孕。
她將會誕下一子。

你必須命名他「耶穌」（「神拯救」）。
因為他將會把他的百姓從他們的罪惡中拯救。」

若瑟帶瑪利亞回家作其妻。 
她誕下一子，耶穌。

Dear Jesus, Son of God, son of Mary, step-son of Joseph,
please help me understand how you are the Saviour of the world

親愛的耶穌，神子，瑪利亞的兒子，若瑟的繼子，
請幫我了解你如何是世人的救主

Chapter 2 (1 -12)    Listen to Chapter 2 (1 - 12)

Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem,
during the reign of King Herod.

Some months after Jesus' birth,
several  wise men from the East came to Jerusalem.

They said "Where is the infant king of the Jews? 
We saw his star as it rose and we have come to offer him honor."

King Herod felt threatened by this news.
He knew from the Scriptures that the promised Saviour would be born in Bethlehem.

So Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem,
pretending that he too would like to offer honor to the child.

The wise men headed for Bethlehem, guided by the star.
The star filled them with joy.
The star stopped over the place where the child was.

The wise men fell to their knees and honored the child.
They offered him gifts of gold, incense and myrrh.

Then they returned to their own country by a different way,
having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod.

第 2 ( 1 - 12 ) 章

黑落德王統治時，
耶穌在白冷城出生。

耶穌誕生後幾個月，
幾位智者從東方來到耶路撒冷。

他們說：「那初生的猶太人君王在哪裡？
我們看見他的星升起，我們是來朝拜他的。」

黑落德王對這消息感到威脅。
他從聖經知道那應許的救世主
在白冷出生。

因此，黑落德派遣智者到白冷，
假裝他也想朝拜這嬰孩。

智者由星的引領下前往白冷。
這星使他們充滿喜悅。
這星停在那孩子所在地的上方。

智者下跪並朝拜這孩子。
他們送他黃金，乳香和沒藥。

他們在夢中獲警告，不要回到黑落德那裡去，
然後他們以不同途徑回到他們自己的國家。

Jesus, help me to honor you like the wise men

耶穌，請幫助我如智者般朝拜你

Chapter 2  (13 - 23)       Listen 

After the wise men left Bethlehem,
an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said

"Go quickly to Egypt,
because Herod wants to kill the child".

That same night, Joseph got up
and set out for Egypt with Mary and Jesus.

Herod was angry after being tricked by the wise men.
He got his soldiers to kill all baby boys two years old or younger in Bethlehem.

After Herod died some months later,
an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream
and told him to return to Israel.

Joseph, Mary and Jesus moved to the town of Nazareth,
thus fulfilling the prophecy about the Saviour:
"He will be called a Nazarene".

第 2 ( 13 - 23 ) 章

智者離開白冷後，
一名天使在若瑟的夢中顯現並說：

「快去埃及，
因為黑落德想殺害這孩子。」

當天晚上，若瑟起來，
帶瑪利亞和耶穌前往埃及。

黑落德被智者欺騙後很生氣。
他差遣他的士兵到白冷
殺死所有兩歲或以下的男嬰。

黑落德死後數月，
一名天使在若瑟的夢中顯現
並告訴他返回以色列。

若瑟，瑪利亞和耶穌搬到納匝肋城，
從而應驗了救世主的預言
「他將被稱為納匝肋人。」

Jesus, you were once a refugee.
  Please bless all refugees in the world today

耶穌，你曾經是難民。
請保佑今天世上所有難民

Chapter 3 (1 - 17)      Listen 

About 30 years after Jesus was born,
a man began preaching repentance,
and baptizing people in the river Jordan.

This man was John the Baptist.
His message was
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand".

John fulfilled the prophecy:
"A voice cries in the wilderness: prepare a way for the Lord".

John said "I baptize you with water,
but one is coming who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit".

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
After Jesus was baptized, the heavens opened,
and Jesus saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove.

And a voice from heaven said
"This is my Son, the Beloved.
My favor rests on him".

第 3 ( 1 - 17 ) 章

耶穌誕生後約三十年，
一名男子開始對人們宣講悔改
和在約旦河給人們施洗。

這男子是施洗者若翰。
他的福音是
「悔改吧，因為天國臨近了」。

若翰應驗了這預言：
「一把聲音在曠野呼喊：為主預備道路。」

若翰說：「我用水為你們施洗，
但正前來的人會用聖神為你們施洗。」

當時耶穌從加里肋亞到約旦河接受若翰的洗禮。
耶穌受洗後，天打開，
耶穌看見天主聖神彷如鴿子降在他身上。

然後一把聲音從天上說：
「這是我的愛子。 我喜愛他。」

Jesus, please help me to prepare your way, like John the Baptist

耶穌，請幫我像施洗者若翰般準備你的道路

Chapter 4 (1 - 11)     Listen 

After he was baptized,
Jesus spent about 40 days praying and fasting in the desert.
During this time, he was tempted by Satan.

"If you are the Son of God,
change some stones into bread" said Satan.

Jesus replied "Human life needs more than bread.
Life needs God's message".

Satan then took Jesus to a high place and said
"Throw yourself down, since the angels will protect you".

Jesus replied
"Presumption is a sin".

Then Satan  took Jesus to a high mountain
and showed him all the nations of the world.

"Worship me and I will give you all these nations" said Satan.

Jesus replied
"Go away, Satan! Only God is to be worshipped".

The devil then went away.

第 4 ( 1 - 11 ) 章

受洗後，
耶穌在曠野禁食和祈禱約四十天。
在此期間，他被撒旦試探。

「如果你是神子，
把一些石頭變成餅，」撒旦說。

耶穌回答：
「人生活不僅需要餅。 生活需要神的說話。」

然後撒旦把耶穌帶到高處，並說：
「跳下去，因為天使會保護你。」

耶穌回答說：
「妄望是罪過。」

其後撒旦帶耶穌到高山，
把世界各國展示給他。

「朝拜我，我就把這些國家全給你，」撒旦說。

耶穌回答：
「走開，撒旦！ 只有神是該被朝拜的。」

魔鬼於是走了。

Jesus, please protect us from Satan and from evil

耶穌，請保護我們免受撒旦和魔鬼的誘惑  

Chapter 4 (12 - 25)      Listen 

After his time in the desert,
Jesus began preaching the same message as John the Baptist:
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand".

Jesus called four fishermen to become "fishers of men":
Peter and his brother Andrew, James and his brother John.
They left their boats and went with Jesus.

Jesus went all round the area of Galilee,
preaching in local prayer halls
and healing all kinds of sick people

News spread about the sick being healed,
and soon even people from distant places came to Jesus to be healed.

第 4 ( 12 - 25 ) 章

離開曠野後，
耶穌開始宣講施洗者若翰相同的福音：
「悔改，因為天國臨近了。」

耶穌召喚四名漁夫成為「捕人的漁夫」：
伯多祿和他的兄弟安德肋，雅各伯和他的兄弟若望。
他們棄船，追隨耶穌。

耶穌走遍全加里肋亞，
在當地會堂說教
和醫好各類病人。

病人被治愈的消息傳遍開去，
不久，人們甚至從遙遠的地方來給耶穌醫治。

Jesus, please heal the people I know who are sick: (...names...)

耶穌，請你醫治我認識的病人(..姓名..)  

Chapter 5 ( 1 - 12 )        Listen 

Jesus said to the crowds:

Blessed are poor and simple of heart  people.
They belong to the kingdom of heaven .

Blessed are people who are going through great sorrow.
Their hearts will be filled with peace.

Blessed are people who lead just and honest lives.
They will see the victory of goodness.

Blessed are people who show mercy to others.
God will be merciful to them.

Blessed are people who have a clean heart.
They will see God.

Blessed are people who are peacemakers.
They are God's children.

Blessed are people who are persecuted for the cause of right.
They will receive a great reward in heaven.

第 5 ( 1 - 12 ) 章

耶穌對群眾說：

貧窮和心地純樸的人是幸福的。
他們屬於天國。

經歷巨大苦難的人是幸福的。
他們的心會充滿平安。

過公正和誠實生活的人是幸福的
他們會看到美德的勝利。

憐憫別人的人是幸福的。
神會憐憫他們。

心靈潔淨的人是幸福的。 
他們會得見神。

締造和平的人是幸福的。 
他們是神的兒女。

為正義而被迫害的人是幸福的。
他們會在天國得到豐厚的獎賞。

Jesus, please help me be merciful and kind and just

耶穌，請幫助我成為仁慈、善良和正義

Chapter 5 (13 - 48)      Listen 

Jesus said to the crowds:

You are the salt of the earth.
But if salt loses its taste, it's no use for anything.

You are the light of the world.
Let the world see your light, your good deeds.

When people see you doing good deeds,
people will praise God.

I have not come to abolish the Jewish religion.
I have come to raise it to a higher level of goodness.

Your goodness must not just be something superficial.
Your goodness must be something from the heart.

You must avoid anger and insult, just like you avoid murder.
If you have offended someone, say "Sorry".

You must avoid lustful looks and thoughts.
Looking at someone lustfully is immorality of the heart.

Love and pray for people who are unkind to you.
This is the way to practise the highest level of goodness.

第 5 ( 13 - 48 ) 章

耶穌對群眾說：

你們是地上的鹽。
但若鹽失去了味道，它毫無用處。

你們是世上的光。
讓世界看見你們的光、你們的善行。

當人們看見你們行善，
人們會讚美神。

我不是來廢除猶太教。
我來是要提升它至較高水平的美德。

你們的善行不僅僅是表面的行為。
你們的善行必須發自內心。

你們必須戒避發怒和辱駡，如同你們戒避謀殺。
如果你們冒犯了人，說「對不起」。

你們必須戒避淫蕩的注目和思想。
邪淫的看著別人，心巳犯姦淫。

愛和為那些對你們不友善的人祈禱。
這就是實踐最高水平的美德。

Jesus,  please help me practise a higher level of goodness

耶穌，請幫助我實踐最高水平的美德

Chapter 6 (1 - 15 )       Listen 

Jesus said to the crowds:

When you do a good deed,
do it for its own sake, not just to get people to praise you.

When you pray, love to pray in private in your heart.
Don't be looking for people to notice and praise you.

When you pray, there's no need to rave on and on.
God is not deaf. Prayer is not a lawyer arguing a case.
Prayer is a child speaking with simple trust like this:

Our Father in heaven,
may everyone love and honor you.

Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as in heaven.

Thank you for enough food for today.
Forgive us as we forgive others.

Save us in time of trial.
Protect us from evil

第 6 ( 1 - 15 ) 章

耶穌對群眾說：

當你們行善，為善行而行善，
不是為了讓人們稱讚你們。

當你們祈禱，喜愛私下在你們心裏祈禱。
不要指望人們注意和讚美你們。

當你們祈禱，無需不斷起勁地說
神不是聾的。 祈禱不是律師在爭論案件。
祈禱是小孩以簡單的信任說話，像這樣：

我們的天父，
願你的名受顯揚。

願你的國來臨。
願你的旨意奉行在人間，如同在天上。

求你今天賞給我們日用的食糧。
求你寬恕我們的罪過，如同我們寬恕別人一樣。

不要讓我們陷於誘惑。
但救我們免於凶惡。

Jesus, help me remember that each time I pray "The Our Father",
you are praying with me. "Your Father = my Father = our Father"

耶穌，幫助我記住，每次我禱告：
「我們的天父」，你與我一起祈禱.....
「你的天父＝我的天父＝我們的天父」

Chapter 6 (16 - 24)       Listen

Jesus said to the crowds:

When you do a bit of fasting,
don't run round telling the world what you are doing.
Secret fasting is spiritually powerful.

Your most important account is with the Bank of Heaven.
Build up your deposit with lots of good deeds and prayers.

Physical blindness is a great tragedy.
Greater still is spiritual blindness.

God must be number one in your life.
Don't let money or anything else replace God.

第 6 ( 16 - 24 ) 章

耶穌對群眾說：

當你們禁食，
不要到處去告訴世人你們在做什麼。
暗中進行的禁食有靈性的影響。

你們最重要的帳戶是與天上的銀行。
多行善和祈禱累積你的存款。

身體上的失明是一大悲劇。
更可悲仍是心靈的盲目。

神在你們生命中必佔首位。
不要讓金錢或別的東西取代神。

Jesus, please be Number One in my life

耶穌，請在我的生命中佔首位

Chapter 6 (25 - 34)    Listen

Jesus said to the crowds 
that life is about more than food and clothing.

Pointing to some birds flying around, Jesus said:

Look at the birds. They don't sow or reap,
yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
And you are more precious than the birds.

Pointing to flowers in the field Jesus said:
How beautiful are the flowers.
They are more beautiful than King Solomon's clothing.

If God cares so much about the life of flowers
won't he care even more about human life?

So, don't spend your day worrying about
what you are going to eat and drink and wear.

Put God first in your life, God and a right way of life,
then  God will look after your physical needs.

Don't waste your energy worrying about tomorrow.
Live life one day at a time.

第 6 ( 25 - 34 ) 章

耶穌對群眾說
人生不只為食物和衣服。

耶穌指著一些四處飛的鳥說：

看這些鳥，他們不播種也不收割，
但你的天父為牠們提供食物。 
何況你們比鳥更珍貴。

耶穌指著在田間的鮮花說：
花朵多麼美麗。
它們比撒羅滿王的衣服更漂亮。

如果神這麼關心鮮花的生命，
他怎會不更關心人的生命呢？

所以，不用花你們的日子來擔心
你們會吃甚麼、喝甚麼及穿甚麼。

把神放在你們生活首位，神及正確的生活方式，
那時神會照顧你們身體所需。

勿浪費你們的精力擔心明天。 
一天一天地過活。

Heavenly Father, thank you for caring for
the birds and flowers....and me!

天父，感謝你照顧花、鳥.....和我！

Chapter 7 (1 - 27)      Listen

Jesus said to the people:

Do not judge other people,
and God will not judge you.

It's so easy to be aware of other people's faults
yet be blind to your own faults.

Persevere in prayer. Ask and you will receive.
Search and you will find.
Knock and the door will be opened.

You like to give good things to your children.
God likes to give good things to you.

Treat other people
the way you would like them to treat you.

Beware of bad leaders.
A sure way to know if someone is good or bad:
are their actions good or bad?

If you put my words into practice,
you are like someone who builds his house on rock.

If you ignore my words,
you are like someone who builds his house on sand.

第 7 ( 1 - 27 ) 章

耶穌對民眾說：

不審判他人，
神就不會審判你們。

察覺到別人的過失是如此容易，
卻看不見自己的過失。

堅持不懈地祈禱。 祈求你們就會得到。
尋求你們就會找到。 
敲而門就會開。

你們喜歡把好東西給你們的孩子。
神喜歡把好東西給你們。

以對待自己的態度去對待別人。

當心壞領袖。
一個可靠的方式知道他們是好或是壞：
他們的品行是好還是壞？

如果你們付諸實踐我的話，
你們就像在岩石上建築房子的人們。

如果你們忽視我的話，
你們就像在沙地上建築房子的人們。

Jesus, please help me put your words into practice

耶穌，請幫助我付諸實踐你的話

Chapter 8 (1 - 3)    Listen

In Jesus' time, it was illegal for anyone to touch a leper,
and it was illegal for lepers to go near other people.

But one day a leper broke the law.
He came right up to Jesus and said
"If you want to, you can heal me."

Jesus also broke the law.
He stretched out his hand, touched the leper,
and said "Of course I want to heal you. Be healed!"

The man was healed immediately.

第 8 ( 1 - 3 ) 章

在耶穌的年代，任何人接觸痲瘋病人是違法的，
而痲瘋病人走近其他人是違法的。

但有一天，一個痲瘋病人犯法。
他來到耶穌跟前說：
「如果你願意，你能治好我。」

耶穌也犯法。 
他伸手觸摸那痲瘋病人，
並說：「當然，我願意治好你。 治癒！」

該男子立即痊癒了。  

Jesus, I didn't know you were a law-breaker.  I guess this means that sometimes, in special cases, it's ok to break the law

耶穌，我不知你是違法者。 我想這意味著
有時候，在特殊情況下，可以觸犯法律

Chapter 8 (5 - 13 )     Listen

In the town of Capernaum, a Roman army captain said to Jesus
"Sir, my servant is paralyzed and in great pain."
Jesus replied "I will go and heal him".

But the captain said
"Sir, I am not worthy that you should enter my house.
Just say the word and my servant will be healed.

For I understand orders. I give an order, and people act.
I know that you also just need to give an order,
and my servant will be healed".

Jesus said
"This foreigner's faith is greater than that of the local people.
And I  tell you that in the future
people from all parts of the world will be in the kingdom of heaven".

Then Jesus said to the captain
"Go home. Your request made in faith is granted".

And the servant was healed at that moment.

第 8 ( 5 - 13 ) 章

在葛法翁城，一個羅馬軍官對耶穌說：
「先生，我的僕人癱瘓了，甚是痛苦。」
耶穌回答：「我去醫治他。」

但軍官說：
「先生，我不配你到我家裏來。
只要說一句話，我的僕人就會治癒。

因我了解指令。 我下令，隨員便執行。
我知道你也只需下令，
我的僕人就會治癒。」

耶穌說：
「這外邦人的信德比本地人還要強。
我告訴你們，將來世界各地的人會在天國。」

接著耶穌對軍官說：
「回家。 你以信德作出請求，給你成全。」

而僕人在那一刻被治好。  

Jesus, please give more people,
 from all parts of the world, the faith of the captain

耶穌，請把軍官的信德給世界各地更多的人

That evening,
many sick people were brought to Peter's home.
Jesus healed them all.

第 8 ( 14 - 17 ) 章

Jesus and his "fisher of men" friends got into a boat
to cross the lake near Capernaum.

Jesus was so tired that he went to sleep in the boat.
Then a sudden storm caused big waves to lash the boat.

Jesus' friends woke him up  and said
"Save us, Lord, we are sinking".

Jesus stood up, and ordered the wind and sea to be calm.
Straight away the wind and sea were calm.

Jesus' friends said to each other
"Who is this? Even the wind and sea obey him."

橫渡葛法翁附近的湖。

耶穌太疲倦，他在船上睡著了。
其後突如其來的暴風雨牽起大浪衝擊船。

耶穌的朋友叫醒他，說：
「救我們，主，我們正下沉。」

耶穌站起，並命令風和海平靜下來。
風和海立刻平靜了。

耶穌的朋友彼此說：
「這是誰？ 連風和海都聽從他。」

Jesus, please calm the storms in my life, my family, our world

耶穌，請平靜在我生活、我家庭及我們世界的風暴

Chapter 9 (1 - 8)      Listen

Some people carried  a paralyzed man through a crowd to Jesus.
The man was on a bed.

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

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 and went home.
The crowd praised God for what they had seen.

第 9  (1 - 8 ) 章

有人帶來一名癱子，穿過人群到耶穌前。
男子躺在床上。

耶穌知道，這些人相信他能幫助他們，
所以他對癱子說：「不要怕，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。

所以耶穌對那些領袖說：「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，回家去。」

男子站起，回家去。 
群眾為他們看到的稱讚神。

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

One day when Jesus was walking past a customs house
he said to a tax collector  named Matthew "Follow me".
Matthew got up and followed Jesus.

Matthew invited Jesus and Jesus' friends to a dinner in his house.
Some tax collectors and  "bad" people sat at Jesus' table.

Religious leaders saw this and complained to Jesus' friends
"Why does your master eat with tax collectors and bad people?"

Jesus' answer was
"It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.

Go and think about the Bible words
'What I want is mercy, not sacrifice'.
I have a special concern for rejects and down-and-outs."

第 9 ( 9 - 13 ) 章

有一天，當耶穌經過海關大樓，
他對一名稅吏瑪竇說：「跟隨我。」
瑪竇起來，跟隨耶穌。

瑪竇邀請耶穌和耶穌的朋友來他家吃晚飯。
有些稅吏和「壞」人跟耶穌同席。

宗教領袖看見，便對耶穌的朋友訴說：
「你師傅為什麼與稅吏和壞人一同吃飯？」

耶穌的答覆是：
「不是健康的人需要醫生，而是有病的人。

去想一想聖經的話，
『我要的是憐憫，不是犧牲』。
我對被摒棄的人與貧窮潦倒者特別關心。」

Jesus, please help religious leaders in today's world
to care more about people who are rejected by society

耶穌，請幫助今日世界的宗教領袖
給那些被社會摒棄的人更多關心

Chapter 9 (14 - 17)      Listen

One day John the Baptist's friends asked Jesus
"How come we and the religious leaders fast, but your friends don't?"

Jesus replied
"Fasting is a good thing, and after I have left this world
my friends will fast.

But remember that multiplying external prayers and fasts
without a change of heart  is useless.

Out of date religious structures need a drastic overhaul,
not just external plastic surgery."

第 9 ( 14 - 17 ) 章

有一天，施洗者若翰的朋友問耶穌：
「為何我們和宗教領袖禁食，但你的朋友不禁食？」

耶穌回答說：
「禁食是好事，在我離開
這個世界後，我的朋友便會禁食。

但記住，增加表面的祈禱和齋戒，
心沒改是無用。

過時的宗教結構需要徹底改革，
不僅僅是整頓外在。」

Jesus, please help me practise a bit of fasting,
especially  each Friday, the day you died

耶穌，請幫助我實行禁食，
尤其是每個星期五，你死去的那一天

Chapter 9 (18 - 26)      Listen

A prayer hall official came to Jesus and said
"My daughter has just died. Please come and lay your hand on her
and she will come back to life".

a woman who had a hemorrhage for 12 years
came up behind Jesus and touched his clothing.

The woman had said to herself
"If I can even touch his clothing, I will be healed".

Jesus knew what she was doing and said to her
"My daughter, your faith has healed you".
Instantly she was healed.

When Jesus arrived at the official's house
he saw a crowd of people crying loudly.

Jesus said to them "Get out of the house. The little girl is asleep, not dead".  The crowd laughed at Jesus.

After the crowd had gone outside, Jesus went inside.
He took the little girl by the hand, and she stood up.

News of what had happened spread all round the district.

觸摸他的衣服。

女人心想：
「我只要能觸摸他的衣服，我便會痊癒。」

耶穌知道她在做什麼，對她說：
「我的女兒，你的信德治癒你。」 她立刻痊癒。

當耶穌來到官員的住宅，
他見一群人在大聲哭。

耶穌對他們說：「到屋外去。 小女孩睡著了，沒有死。」 
群眾都嘲笑耶穌。

As Jesus walked along, two men who had become blind
followed after him calling out  "Son of David, please help us".

Jesus asked them "Do you believe I can help you?"
They said "Yes we do".

Then Jesus touched their eyes and said
"Your request made in faith is granted".

Immediately they were able to see again.
They told everyone they met  what Jesus had done for them.

當耶穌沿路走，兩個失明人跟著他，
喊叫：「達味之子，請幫助我們。」

耶穌問他們：「你相信我可以幫你嗎？」
他們說：「是的，我們相信。」

那時耶穌觸摸他們的眼睛並說：
「你們以信德作請求，給你們成全。」

立刻他們能再看見。
他們告訴他們遇見的人，耶穌為他們所做的事。

Jesus, heal my friend (..name..) who is blind

Jesus went to many towns and villages.
In the local prayer halls he taught people
the Good News of God's kingdom.
He healed all sorts of diseases and sicknesses.

He said to his friends:
"So many people don't have good leaders.
Pray to God to send good leaders".

因為他們如同沒有牧人的羊
 - 無人領導、被剝削、和感到絕望。

Peter and his brother Andrew; 
Zebedees' sons James and John;
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew;
James son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus, Simon and Judas.

Raise the dead. Cleanse lepers. Cast out devils.

Jesus said to his apostles
"Because you follow me and speak my message,
therefore you will be arrested and put in prison.

But don't worry about what to say for your defence.
What to say will be given you by the Holy Spirit.

Boldly proclaim my message
and do not be afraid of persecution.

Take up your cross and follow me.
Anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me
is not worthy of me."

第 10 ( 17 - 42 ) 章

耶穌對他的宗徒說：
「由於你跟隨我和宣揚我的福音，
結果你會被拘捕及入獄。

但不用擔心說什麼來作辨護。
聖神會給你要說的話。

大膽地宣講我的福音
和不要害怕受迫害。

背起你的十字架並跟從我。
誰不背起他的十字架和跟從我
不配作我的門徒。」

John the Baptist sent some of his friends to ask Jesus
"Are you the promised Anointed One?"

Jesus replied
"Tell John what you hear and see:
blind people see, lame people walk, lepers are healed".

Jesus also said to the people around him
how neither John nor himself could please the religious leaders.

"For John always fasted and never drank wine,
and people said he was possessed.

I eat well and I drink wine
and people call me a glutton and a drunkard."

第 11 ( 1 - 19 ) 章

施洗者若翰差遣他的一些朋友去問耶穌：
「你是否那應許的救世主?」

耶穌回答：
「告訴若翰你所聽到的和看到的：
失明看見、跛子行走、痲瘋病人給治癒。」

耶穌也對他身邊的人說，
若翰和他怎也不能取悅宗教領袖。

「因若翰常常禁食，從不喝酒，
而人們說他附了魔。

我吃得好和我喝酒，
人們就稱我貪吃者和酒鬼。」

Jesus, please help me be someone who is easy to live with,
someone who is not hard to please

One day Jesus prayed:

Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
I am joyfully amazed at the way simple people
understand and accept what I'm saying,
while proud and clever people miss the plot.

And he said to the ordinary people:

Come to me,
all you who are treated unfairly by unjust religious laws.
I will give you peace and justice.

Learn from me, and you will know peace,
for I am gentle and humble of heart.

第 11 ( 25 - 30 ) 章

有一天耶穌祈禱：

父，天地的主，

Chapter 12 (1 - 8)    Listen

One Sabbath day Jesus and his disciples were walking through a cornfield.  The disciples were hungry.
They picked some ears of corn and ate them.

Picking corn on the Sabbath was regarded as unlawful by the Pharisees.  So the Pharisees said to Jesus
"Your disciples are breaking the Sabbath law".

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

Go and learn the meaning of these words
'What I want is mercy, not superficial external offerings'.

I am Master of the Sabbath."

第 12 ( 1 - 8 ) 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：
「你不記得逹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。

去學習這些說話的含義
『我要的是憐憫，而不是膚淺表面的祭品。』

人子是安息日的主。」

Jesus, Master of the Sabbath, please help me understand
 that love is more important than law.

耶穌，人子，請幫助我了解愛比法律更重要

Chapter 12 (9 - 14)     Listen

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

Some religious leaders asked Jesus, to trap him,
"Is it lawful to heal a man on the Sabbath day?"
(The leaders taught that no "work" could be done on the Sabbath).

Jesus replied:
"If one of your sheep fell down a hole on the Sabbath,
wouldn't you lift it out?

A man is more important than a sheep.
Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

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

The religious leaders left the prayer hall
and began plotting how to get rid of Jesus.

第 12 ( 9 - 14 ) 章

在另一個安息日，耶穌到會堂去。
一手枯萎的男子在會堂。

一些宗教領袖問耶穌，陷害他，
「在安息日醫治人是否合法？」
（領袖教導在安息日不能工作。）

耶穌回答：
「如果你其中一隻綿羊在安息日
跌進洞裡，你會否拉牠上來？

人比羊更重要。 
因此在安息日行善是合法的。」

那時耶穌對一手枯萎的男子說：
「伸出你的手。」
他伸出手。 手痊癒了。

宗教領袖離開會堂
並開始密謀如何摌除耶穌。

Jesus, please stop bad religious leaders from misleading people

they would like to speak with him.

When Jesus heard they were there, he said
"Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"

Then holding out his hand towards his disciples he said
"Here are my mother and brothers.
Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven,
that person is my brother and sister and mother."

第 12 ( 46 - 50 ) 章

有一天，當耶穌在屋內對群眾說話時，
他的母親和兄弟來到這屋。

他們在屋外傳口信說
他們想與他說話。

當耶穌聽說他們在那裏，他說：
「誰是我的母親？ 誰是我的兄弟？」

「我的母親和兄弟在這裡。
任何遵行我天父旨意的人
便是我的兄弟姊妹和母親。」

Brother Jesus,  please help me do the will of your Father in heaven

Chapter 13 (1 - 23)      Listen

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 listen 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.

第 13 ( 1 - 23 ) 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。

Jesus, please help me be good seed!

耶穌，請幫助我成為好種子！

Chapter 13 (24 - 30; 36 - 43)    Listen

Jesus told the people another story:

The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
An enemy came and sowed weeds in the same field.

When the good seed sprouted, so did the weeds.
The man's servants asked if they should get rid of the weeds.

"No", said the man, "you might damage the good seed if you do that.
Let them both grow till harvest time. Then burn the weeds."

Then Jesus explained his story:

"I am the sower. The field is the world.
The good seed stands for people of good will.
The weeds stand for people of bad will. The enemy is Satan.

At the end of the world, the Son of Man will send his angels
to sort out the good and the bad people.
Bad people will go to hell.  Good people will go to heaven".

第 13 ( 24 - 30、36 - 43 ) 章

耶穌給人們講另一個故事：

天國好比一個人在他的田撒下好種子。
一個敵人來了，在同一塊田裏種下野草。

當好種子發芽，野草也發芽。
那人的僕人問他們是否要清除野草。

「不要」，那人說，「如果你們那樣做，
你們可能會損害好種子。
讓他們兩成長到收割期。 然後燒去野草。」

接著耶穌解釋他的故事：

「我是播種者。 那塊田是世界。
好種子代表善意的人們。
壞種子代表惡意的人們。 敵人是撒旦。

世界終結，人子會派遣他的天使分出好的
和壞的人。 壞人會去地獄。 好人會去天堂。」

Jesus, please protect good people from bad people

耶穌，請保護好人遠離壞人

Chapter 13 (31 - 33; 44; 47 - 50)    Listen

Jesus said to the people:

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.
It's the smallest of all seeds.
But it becomes a big bush, then a big tree that the birds live in.

The kingdom of heaven is like yeast which leavens flour.

The kingdom of heaven is like  treasure in a field.
Someone finds it, then sells all they have to buy the field.

The kingdom of heaven is like a fishing net that catches all sorts of fish. Good fish are put in a basket. Useless fish are thrown away.
So at the end of time, bad people will be thrown into hell.

第 13 ( 31 - 33、44、47 - 50 ) 章

耶穌對民眾說：

天國好像一粒芥子。 
它是所有種子中最小的。
但它成為大灌木，然後是供雀鳥棲息的大樹。

天國像發酵麵粉的酵母。

天國像田地裏的寶物。 有人找到它，
然後賣掉他們所擁有的一切來購買這地。

天國像一個漁網，捕捉各種魚類。
好魚放進籃子裏。 無用的魚扔掉。
所以在末日，壞人會被扔進地獄。

Jesus, may your kingdom come, your will be done

耶穌，願你的國降臨，願你的旨意奉行

Chapter 13 (53 - 58)     Listen

One day Jesus went to Nazareth, his home town.
In the prayer hall there he taught the local people.

But the local people would not accept him.  They said
"Where did he get such wisdom and miraculous power?
He is just a carpenter's son. His mother is that woman called Mary.

His brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Jude.
His sisters are here, too. He's nobody special."

Jesus said to them "A prophet is despised only in his own country and his own house".

And he did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

第 13 ( 53 - 58 ) 章

有一天，耶穌來到納匝肋，他的家鄉。
在會堂，他教導當地民眾。

但當地民眾不接受他。 他們說：
「他從哪裡得到這樣的智慧和神奇的力量？ 
他只是一個木匠的兒子。 他母親是那個名叫瑪利亞的女人。

他的兄弟是雅各伯、若瑟、西滿和猶達。
他的姊妹也在這兒。 他不是甚麼大人物。」

耶穌對他們說：「先知只有在他自己的國家和
他自己的家鄉受鄙視。」

而他在那裏沒多行奇蹟，因為他們缺乏信德。

Jesus, please give me more faith in you
.... and don't let me reject people

耶穌，請給我更多信德
.....不要讓我拒絕別人

Chapter 14 (1 - 12)   Listen

Not long after Jesus began traveling and teaching,
King Herod arrested John the Baptist and put him in prison.

This was because John had told Herod he was breaking the Law
by living with Herodias,  his brother's wife.

During a birthday party for Herod,
the daughter of Herodias danced.

Her dancing so pleased Herod
that he said he would give her anything she wanted.

Herodias told her to ask for the head of John the Baptist on a dish.
Herod then had John beheaded.

John's disciples came and buried the body.

第 14  (1 - 12 ) 章

耶穌開始周遊和施教後不久，
黑落德王逮捕施洗者若翰和把他監禁。

這因若翰曾對黑落德說他與他兄弟的妻子
黑落狄亞同居是犯法的。

在黑落德的生日會，
黑落狄亞的女兒表演舞蹈。

她的舞蹈非常討黑落德喜歡，
他說他會給她任何她想要的。

黑落狄亞吩咐她要求施洗者若翰的頭顱
放在碟上。 黑落德於是命人將若翰斬首。

若翰的門徒到來，埋葬了屍體。

Jesus, please give the world good leaders,

保護人民免受像黑落德那樣的壞領袖傷害

Jesus got the people to sit on the grass.
There were about 20,000 of them.

After feeding the crowd with 5 loaves and 2 fish,
Jesus told his disciples to go by boat across the nearby lake.

Jesus stayed to send the crowds away.
Then he went up into the hills to pray.

When darkness came, the boat was far from land,
but it was battling large waves caused by a strong head-wind.

Jesus then walked on the water towards the boat.
He called out to his disciples "Courage. It is I. Don't be afraid."

Peter answered "Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you."  Jesus said "Come".

Peter then started walking on the water,
but he became afraid and began to sink.

"Lord, save me" he called out.
Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to keep walking on the water.

"Man of little faith, why did you doubt?" asked Jesus.
As they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

The men in the boat bowed to Jesus and said
"You really are the Son of God".

到晚上，船遠離岸邊，
但它正與強勁逆風造成的大浪搏鬥。

那時，耶穌在水面走向船。 他對門徒大聲說：
「勇敢。 是我。 不要害怕。」

伯多祿回答：「主，如果是你，叫我在水面
走向你。」 耶穌說：「來。」

伯多祿開始在水面行走，
但他感害怕並開始下沉。

「主，救我，」他大聲呼叫。
耶穌挽著他的手，幫他繼續在水面行走。

「信德小的人，你為何疑惑？」耶穌問。
當他們上了船，風停了。

船上的人向耶穌鞠躬，並說：「你真的是神子。」

Jesus answered, with the words of the prophet Isaiah:
"This people honors me with external lip-service,
while their hearts are far from me."

Jesus also said
"It's not certain foods or lack of washing  that makes a person unclean.
It's evil in the  heart that makes a person unclean.

Evil intentions like murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, slander. These are the things that make a person unclean."

Jesus, please  clean my heart

無視我們許多宗教形式上的禮儀？」

耶穌以先知依撒意亞的話來回答：
「這些人以膚淺的空話榮耀我，
與此同時他們的心卻遠離我。」

耶穌又說：
「這不是某些食物或缺乏清洗而使人不潔。
這是心裏的邪惡使人不潔。

邪念如謀殺、姦淫、通姦、偷竊、偽證、誹謗。
這些使人不潔。」

耶穌，請潔淨我的心

"Help her, because she keeps shouting after us."

Jesus replied "I was sent only to the people of Israel".

A man went down on his knees and pleaded with Jesus:

"Lord, please help my son. He is crazy and does crazy things
like falling into fire and into water.
I asked  your disciples to heal him but they were not able to."

There was an evil spirit oppressing the boy,
so Jesus ordered the spirit to leave the boy.
The boy was healed immediately.

Jesus' disciples asked him
"Why were we unable to expel that spirit?"

Jesus answered "Because your faith is not strong enough."

第 17 ( 14 - 20 ) 章

一名男子跪地懇求耶穌：

「主，請救我的兒子。
他瘋了，做些古怪事，如掉進火中和水裡。
我求你的門徒醫治他，但他們沒能力。」

一邪靈在折磨這男孩，
因此耶穌命令惡魔離開男孩。
男孩立刻痊癒。

耶穌的門徒問他：
「為什麼我們不能驅逐那惡魔？」

耶穌回答：「因為你們的信德不夠強。」

Jesus, please increase my faith,
so that my prayers can be of more help to other people

耶穌，請增加我的信德，
以便我的祈禱對其他人作出更多的幫助

Chapter 18 (1 - 10)     Listen

One day Jesus heard his disciples arguing 
about which one of them was the most important.

Jesus got a little child to sit in front of them, and said 
"If you want to be great in God's eyes, become child-like.
In fact, unless you become child-like, you won't get to heaven.

And make sure you never cause harm to children like this one.
Remember, the protecting angels of children
are in the presence of my Father in heaven."

第 18 ( 1 - 10 ) 章

有一天，耶穌聽到他的門徒在爭論
他們哪一個是最重要。

耶穌吩咐一位小孩坐在他們面前，說：
「如果你想在神眼中是最偉大的，變成小孩般。
其實，除非你變成小孩般，你不能進入天國。

並確保你永不對像這樣的小孩造成傷害。
記住，兒童的保護天使與我父同在天堂裡。」

Jesus, please help me to be more child-like,
and please don't let me ever cause harm to children

耶穌，請幫助我更像小孩一樣，
請永遠不要讓我對兒童造成傷害

Chapter 18 (21 - 35)      Listen

Peter asked Jesus "How many times must I forgive someone?
7 times?"  Jesus answered "Not 7, but 77 times.

For the kingdom of heaven is like a king who cancelled the huge debt of one of his servants.

But that same servant refused to cancel the tiny debt of one of his fellow servants.

So the king said to the servant:
'When you appealed to me, I had pity on you and cancelled your big debt.  But you refused to have pity on your fellow servant who asked you for mercy. Therefore you must now go to prison until your big debt is paid.'

If you refuse to forgive other people,
you are making yourself ineligible for God's forgiveness."

第 18 ( 21 - 35 ) 章

伯多祿問耶穌：
「我該原諒別人多少次？ 七次？」
耶穌回答：「不是七次，而是七十七次。

因天國如同一位君王免除他僕人的巨額欠債。

但那僕人拒絕免除他工友的小額欠債。

於是君王對那僕人說：
『當你懇求我時，我憐憫你，就免除你的欠債。
但你拒絕憐憫向你求情的工友。
因此，你現須入獄，直到你的巨額欠債還清。』

如果你不肯原諒別人，
你使自己喪失神的寬恕。」

Jesus, please help me to forgive other people,
just as you forgive me....many times each day

耶穌，請幫助我原諒別人，
就像你原諒我.....每天多次

Chapter 19 (1 - 9)     Listen

One day some religious leaders put Jesus to the test by asking him
"Is it against the Law of Moses for a man to divorce his wife?"

Jesus replied "God created male and female, for the two to become united as one body.  What God has united, no one should separate."

The leaders then asked
"But why did Moses allow divorce?"

Jesus replied "Moses allowed divorce because people were so hard of heart.  But divorce was not God's plan.

So I say to you, anyone who walks out on their partner and marries someone else, is guilty of adultery".

第 19 ( 1 - 9 ) 章

有一天，一些宗教領袖考驗耶穌，問他：
「一名男子與他的妻子離婚，
這是否違反梅瑟的法律？」

耶穌回答：「神創造男和女，為了兩人成為一體。
神所結合的，沒人應該分開。」

領袖接著問：
「但為什麼梅瑟准許離婚？」

耶穌回答：
「梅瑟准許離婚，因人們如此鐵石心腸。
但離婚不是神的本意。

因此，我對你說，誰拋棄他的配偶和別人結婚，
是犯通姦。」

Jesus, please help married people stay together

耶穌，請幫助已婚人仕永遠在一起

A young man asked Jesus
"Master, what do I have to do to get to Heaven?"

Jesus replied "Keep the commandments:
do not kill;  do not commit adultery; honor your father and mother;
care for others as much as you care about yourself".

The young man said "I have kept all these commandments.
What else do I need to do?"

Jesus said "If you want to do something really special with your life, go and sell all your possessions, give the money to the poor,
then come and follow me as one of my disciples".

When the young man heard these words he went away sad,
because he was very rich.

Jesus then said to his disciples
"It is hard for a rich person to get to Heaven".

第 19 ( 16 - 26 ) 章

一位年輕人問耶穌：
「師傅，我該做甚麼才可進入天堂？」

耶穌回答：「遵守誡命：
不殺人、不姦淫、孝敬你的父親和母親、
關心別人如關心自己。」

年輕人說：「我已遵守所有這些誡命。
我還需要做些甚麼？」

耶穌說：「如你想為你的人生做真正特別的事，
去變賣你所有的財產，把錢捐贈窮人，
然後來跟隨我，作我的門徒。」

當年輕人聽到這些話，他悲傷地走了，
因他非常富有。

Jesus,  don't let riches endanger my eternal life

耶穌，不要讓財富危害我的永生

and will also receive eternal life in Heaven."

第 19 ( 27 - 29 ) 章

伯多祿代表所有門徒問耶穌:
「我們呢？ 我們已經撇下一切來跟隨你。」

此外，任何人因我而離開家園、家庭或國家，
他此生會獲得百倍的祝福，也會在天堂享永生。」

Jesus, please bless all Gospel workers

耶穌，請保佑所有福音工作者

Chapter 20 (1 - 16)   Listen

Jesus said to his disciples
The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay them the normal daily wage.

Then about 9am he went again to the market place. He saw more men without a job.  He got them also to go to his vineyard. He promised to pay them a fair wage.

About noon and again about 3pm he once more went to the market place and employed two more groups of men.

About 5pm he went one final time and employed one last group of men.

At sunset when the men came to be paid, the owner paid everyone a normal day's wage.  This made the dawn group unhappy.

They grumbled and said "We have done a full day's work in the heat. Yet we got the same as those who did only one hour's work. This is not fair!"

The owner replied "I am paying you what we agreed to. Why do you begrudge my generosity?"

第 20 ( 1 - 16 ) 章

耶穌對他的門徒說：
天國好像一位地主，天亮時出去為他的葡萄園
聘請工人。 他同意支付他們標準日薪。

其後約上午九時，他又去市集。 他看到更多
沒工作的人。 他讓他們也到他的葡萄園。
他答應支付他們合理工資。

大約於中午和約下午三時，他再次去市集，
並僱用多兩批人。

約下午五時，
他去最後一次及僱用最後一批人。

日落時，當人們來支取薪金，地主支付每個
人標準日薪。 這使天亮時來的工人不滿。

他們抱怨說：「我們剛在烈日下工作一天。
然而，我們賺的跟只工作一小時的人一樣。
這是不公平！」

地主回答：「我支付我們所議定的給你們。
你們為什麼妒忌我的慷慨？」

Jesus, please help me not to be jealous of your gifts to others

耶穌，請幫助我不要妒忌你給其他人禮物

Chapter 20 (20 -28)     Listen

The brothers James and John were two of Jesus' disciples.
One day their mother said to Jesus
"When you become king, allow my sons to sit at your right and left".

Jesus said to James and John
"Only my Father in heaven can allocate seats on my right and left". 

The 10 other disciples were angry at James and John for seeking honor. 
So Jesus said to them all

"In most places, people in power like to dominate and control others.
But this is not to be your way of exercising authority.

You must exercise authority by serving others, not dominating them,
just as I came not to be served, but to serve,
and to give my life as a ransom for the world".

第 20 ( 20 - 28 ) 章

雅各伯及若望兩兄弟是耶穌的門徒。

「當你為王，准我的兒子坐在你左右。」

耶穌對雅各伯和若望說:
「只有我在天之父能分配在我左右的席位。」

其餘十個門徒憤怒雅各伯及若望追求榮譽。
因此，耶穌對眾人說：

「在多數地方，掌權者喜歡支配和控制他人。
但這不是你們行使權力的方式。

你們必須通過服務他人來行使你們的權力，
而非主宰他們，正如人子來不是受人服事，
乃是服事人，並奉獻他的生命為世人作救贖。」

Jesus, please help me want to help and serve other people, not dominate and control them

耶穌，請幫助我想幫助和服務他人，
不是支配和控制他們

As  Jesus was leaving Jericho on his way to Jerusalem,
many people followed him along the road.

they called out "Son of David, have pity on us."

Some people tried to stop them from calling out,
but they shouted even more loudly "Son of David, have pity on us."

Jesus stopped and said to them "What do you want me to do for you?" They replied "Lord, let us see again".

Stars will fall from the sky.

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky
and all peoples will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds
with power and glory.

Jesus said to his disciples:
When I come in glory at the end of the world,
all peoples of all times will be gathered in front of me.

I will separate them, like a shepherd separates sheep from goats.
I will place the sheep on my right, the goats on my left.

I will say to those on my right "Come and enter my kingdom.
For I was hungry, and you gave me food.
I was thirsty, and you gave me drink.
I was a stranger, and you made me welcome.
I was naked, and you clothed me.
I was sick, and you visited me.
I was in prison, and you came to see me".

Then those good people on my right will say
"Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you?
When did we see you thirsty and give you a drink?
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you,
naked and clothe you, sick or in prison, and visit you?"

I will answer
"Each time  you helped and cared for a poor person,
you helped and cared for me".

Then I will say to those on my left
"Go away from me and join Satan and his angels in hell.

For I was hungry, and you never gave me food.
I was thirsty, and you never gave me anything to drink.
I was a stranger, and you never made me welcome,
naked, and you never clothed me,
sick and in prison, and you never visited me".

Those on my left will then ask
"Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked,
sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?"

I will answer
"Each time you refused to help and care for a poor person,
you refused to help and care for me".

Those on the left will then go to eternal punishment.
Those on the right will go to eternal life.

各世代的民族都會聚集在我跟前。

我會放綿羊在我的右邊，山羊在我的左邊。

我會對我右邊的說：
「來，進入我的王國。
因我餓了，你們給我食物。
我渴了，你們給我飲料。
我作異鄉人，你們收留我。
我裸體，你們給我穿衣。
我病了，你們探望我。 我坐監，你們來看我。」

那時，那些在我右邊的義人會說：
「主，我們什麼時候見你餓，為你提供食物？
我們什麼時候見你口渴，給你一杯飲料？
我們什麼時候見你作異鄉人，收留你，
裸體就給你穿衣，生病或坐監，就探望你？」

我會回答說：
「每次你們幫助和照顧窮人，
你們是幫助和照顧我。」

然後我對左邊的說：
「遠離我，加入地獄的撒旦和他的使者。

因我餓了，你們從不給我食物。
我渴了，你們從不給我任何飲料。
我作異鄉人，你們從不收留我，
裸體，你們從不給我穿衣，
生病和坐監，你們從不探望我。」

那些在我左邊的那時會問：
「主，我們什麼時候見你餓或口渴、
作異鄉人或裸體、生病或坐監，
而不來幫助你？」

我會回答：
「每次你們拒絕幫助和照顧窮人，
你們是拒絕幫助和照顧我。」

那些在左邊的會受永罰。
那些在右邊的會得永生。

耶穌，請幫我為窮人多作貢獻。
讓我明白，當我幫助窮人，我是幫助你

Make me understand that when I help a poor person, I help you

請支持我，當我祈禱時。」

Peter said "I don't know what you're talking about".

Peter went to the gateway of the place, where another woman said to people around her "This man is a friend of the Galilean".
Peter replied strongly "I don't know the man".

Not long after this a group of people said to Peter
"You are his friend. We can tell by your Galilean accent".

Then Peter even more strongly replied "I do not know the man".

At that very moment, a rooster crowed.
Peter remembered Jesus' words "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times". Peter went outside and wept loudly.

第 26 ( 69 - 75 ) 章

伯多祿去到宗教領袖審判耶穌的地方。
一位少婦在那地方的庭院對他說：
「你是那個加里肋亞人的朋友。」

在那婦人和她周圍的人面前伯多祿說：
「我不知道你在說什麼。」

伯多祿走到那地方的大門口，
另一個女人對身邊的人說：
「這人是加里肋亞人的朋友。」
伯多祿堅決地回答：「我不認識那人。」

這之後不久，一群人對伯多祿說：
「你是他的朋友。 我們憑你的加里肋亞人口音知道。」

那時伯多祿更堅決地回答：「我不認識那人。」

在那一刻，雞啼。 伯多祿想起耶穌的話
「雞啼之前，你會三次不認我。」
伯多祿走到外面，大聲哭泣。

Jesus, please help me not to deny you.
 Give me courage to say "I am a Christian"

耶穌，請幫助我不否認你。
給我勇氣說：「我是一位基督徒。」

Chapter 27 (1 - 26)     Listen

Early in the morning, the religious leaders had Jesus bound with ropes.
They then took him to Pilate, the Roman governor.

The leaders accused Jesus of many crimes.
To the governor's amazement, Jesus remained silent.

The leaders persuaded the crowd to demand
the execution of Jesus. They called out to Pilate "Crucify him".

Pilate asked "Why? What has he done wrong?"
The crowd shouted all the louder "Crucify him. Crucify him".

Pilate then washed his hands in front of the crowd and said
"I am innocent of this man's blood".
The crowd shouted "His blood be on us and on our children".

Pilate then ordered Jesus to be scourged and crucified.

第 27 ( 1 - 26 ) 章

大清早，宗教領袖命人用繩綁着耶穌。
然後他們把他帶到羅馬總督比拉多。

領袖控告耶穌多項罪行。
讓總督感到驚訝的是，耶穌保持緘默。

領袖唆擺群眾要求處死耶穌。
他們向比拉多大叫：「把他釘十字架。」

比拉多問：「為什麼？ 他做錯了什麼？」
群眾喊得更大聲：
「把他釘十字架。 把他釘十字架。」

比拉多因此在群眾面前洗手，並說：
「流這人的血，罪不在我。」
群眾叫喊：「他的血歸到我們和我們的子孫。」

比拉多於是下令鞭打耶穌和把他釘十字架。

Jesus,  help people who are condemned to death

耶穌，幫助被判死刑的人

Chapter 27 (27 - 31)     Listen

After the Roman soldiers scourged Jesus, they made fun of him:
- they put a red cloak on him.
- they made a crown out of thorns.
- they put a reed in his right hand.

Then they knelt in front of him saying "Hail, king of the Jews".
They spat on him.
They took the reed and hit him with it.

When they had finished making fun of him,
they dressed him  in his own clothes and led him away to crucify him.

第 27 ( 27 - 31 ) 章

羅馬士兵鞭打耶穌後，他們取笑他：
- 他們把一件紅色斗篷披在他身上。
- 他們用荊棘做一頂王冠。
- 他們把一根蘆葦放在他的右手。

然後他們跪在他面前說：
「萬歲，猶太人君王。」
他們向他吐口水。 他們用蘆葦打他。

當他們取笑完他，
他們給他穿上他自己的衣服，帶他去釘十字架。

Jesus, please don't let me hurt other people by making fun of them

耶穌，請不要讓我以嘲笑他人來傷害他們

Chapter 27 (32 - 44)    Listen

As Jesus was taken to the place of crucifixion,
a man name Simon, from Cyrene, 
was made to carry Jesus' cross.

Jesus was then nailed to the cross and hung on the cross.
Two robbers were crucified with him,
one on his right and one on his left.

Above Jesus' head was a sign with the charge against him:
"This is Jesus, the King of the Jews".

People passing by that place made fun of Jesus.
So did the religious leaders. They mocked and taunted him.

第 27 ( 32 - 44 ) 章

當耶穌被帶到釘十字架的地方，
一名男子名西滿，從基勒乃來，
被強迫背負耶穌的十字架。

耶穌後來被釘掛在十字架。
兩名強盜與耶穌同被釘在十字架上，
一個在他右邊，一個在他左邊。

耶穌的頭上放了指控他罪狀的牌：
「這是耶穌，猶太人君王。」

途經此地的人取笑耶穌。
宗教領袖也如此。 他們嘲笑和辱罵他。

Jesus on the Cross,
thank you for suffering so much for the salvation of the world

十字架上的耶穌，
感謝你為救贖世人而忍受這麼多的苦難

Chapter 27 (45 - 54)    Listen

Jesus was put on the cross about 9am.
From about noon until 3pm there was darkness over all the land.

About 3pm Jesus cried out the words of Psalm 22:
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

A little while later he again cried out in a loud voice.
Then he died.

At that moment the holy curtain in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom,  and there was a violent earthquake.

The Roman soldiers were terrified.
Their leader called out "Truly this was a son of God".

第 27 ( 45 - 54 ) 章

早上約九時耶穌被釘在十字架。
大約從中午至下午三時，遍地黑暗。

下午約三時耶穌大聲喊出聖詠集二十二篇：
「我的神，我的神，你為什麼離棄我？」

過一會，他又大叫一聲。 
然後他死了。

在那一刻，殿裏的帳幔從上到下撕裂為二，
並有強烈地震。

羅馬士兵被嚇壞。
他們的軍長大叫：「這真的是神子。」

Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for the salvation of the world

耶穌，感謝你為拯救世人而被釘死在十字架

Chapter 27 (57 - 66)      Listen

Joseph from Arimathaea was a rich man who had become a disciple of Jesus. After Jesus died on Friday, he asked Governor Pilate for Jesus' body.

Joseph wrapped the body in a clean burial cloth and put it in his own new tomb in a rock cave. He then put a large stone at the cave's entrance.

The next day, Saturday, the religious leaders went to Pilate and said
"This imposter said he would rise from the dead after 3 days.
Therefore you should secure the tomb in case his disciples steal the body and say he has risen from the dead".

Pilate gave them a guard and told them to secure the tomb.
The guards took up their position at the tomb
and seals were put on the entrance stone.
