Luke 18
1 फिर उस ने इस के विषय में कि नित्य प्रार्थना करना और हियाव न छोड़ना चाहिए उन से यह दृष्टान्त कहा।
2 कि किसी नगर में एक न्यायी रहता था; जो न परमेश्वर से डरता था और न किसी मनुष्य की परवाह करता था।
3 और उसी नगर में एक विधवा भी रहती थी: जो उसके पास आ आकर कहा करती थी, कि मेरा न्याय चुकाकर मुझे मुद्दई से बचा।
4 उस ने कितने समय तक तो न माना परन्तु अन्त में मन में विचारकर कहा, यद्यपि मैं न परमेश्वर से डरता, और न मनुष्यों की कुछ परवाह करता हूं।
5 तौभी यह विधवा मुझे सताती रहती है, इसलिये मैं उसका न्याय चुकाऊंगा कहीं ऐसा न हो कि घड़ी घड़ी आकर अन्त को मेरा नाक में दम करे।
6 प्रभु ने कहा, सुनो, कि यह अधर्मी न्यायी क्या कहता है?
7 सो क्या परमेश्वर अपने चुने हुओं का न्याय न चुकाएगा, जो रात-दिन उस की दुहाई देते रहते; और क्या वह उन के विषय में देर करेगा?
8 मैं तुम से कहता हूं; वह तुरन्त उन का न्याय चुकाएगा; तौभी मनुष्य का पुत्र जब आएगा, तो क्या वह पृथ्वी पर विश्वास पाएगा?
9 और उस ने कितनो से जो अपने ऊपर भरोसा रखते थे, कि हम धर्मी हैं, और औरों को तुच्छ जानते थे, यह दृष्टान्त कहा।
10 कि दो मनुष्य मन्दिर में प्रार्थना करने के लिये गए; एक फरीसी था और दूसरा चुंगी लेने वाला।
11 फरीसी खड़ा होकर अपने मन में यों प्रार्थना करने लगा, कि हे परमेश्वर, मैं तेरा धन्यवाद करता हूं, कि मैं और मनुष्यों की नाईं अन्धेर करने वाला, अन्यायी और व्यभिचारी नहीं, और न इस चुंगी लेने वाले के समान हूं।
12 मैं सप्ताह में दो बार उपवास करता हूं; मैं अपनी सब कमाई का दसवां अंश भी देता हूं।
13 परन्तु चुंगी लेने वाले ने दूर खड़े होकर, स्वर्ग की ओर आंखें उठाना भी न चाहा, वरन अपनी छाती पीट-पीटकर कहा; हे परमेश्वर मुझ पापी पर दया कर।
14 मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि वह दूसरा नहीं; परन्तु यही मनुष्य धर्मी ठहराया जाकर अपने घर गया; क्योंकि जो कोई अपने आप को बड़ा बनाएगा, वह छोटा किया जाएगा; और जो अपने आप को छोटा बनाएगा, वह बड़ा किया जाएगा॥
15 फिर लोग अपने बच्चों को भी उसके पास लाने लगे, कि वह उन पर हाथ रखे; और चेलों ने देख कर उन्हें डांटा।
16 यीशु ने बच्चों को पास बुलाकर कहा, बालकों को मेरे पास आने दो, और उन्हें मना न करो: क्योंकि परमेश्वर का राज्य ऐसों ही का है।
17 मैं तुम से सच कहता हूं, कि जो कोई परमेश्वर के राज्य को बालक की नाईं ग्रहण न करेगा वह उस में कभी प्रवेश करने न पाएगा॥
18 किसी सरदार ने उस से पूछा, हे उत्तम गुरू, अनन्त जीवन का अधिकारी होने के लिये मैं क्या करूं?
19 यीशु ने उस से कहा; तू मुझे उत्तम क्यों कहता है? कोई उत्तम नहीं, केवल एक, अर्थात परमेश्वर।
20 तू आज्ञाओं को तो जानता है, कि व्यभिचार न करना, हत्या न करना, और चोरी न करना, झूठी गवाही न देना, अपने पिता और अपनी माता का आदर करना।
21 उस ने कहा, मैं तो इन सब को लड़कपन ही से मानता आया हूं।
22 यह सुन, यीशु ने उस से कहा, तुझ में अब भी एक बात की घटी है, अपना सब कुछ बेच कर कंगालों को बांट दे; और तुझे स्वर्ग में धन मिलेगा, और आकर मेरे पीछे हो ले।
23 वह यह सुनकर बहुत उदास हुआ, क्योंकि वह बड़ा धनी था।
24 यीशु ने उसे देख कर कहा; धनवानों का परमेश्वर के राज्य में प्रवेश करना कैसा कठिन है?
25 परमेश्वर के राज्य में धनवान के प्रवेश करने से ऊंट का सूई के नाके में से निकल जाना सहज है।
26 और सुनने वालों ने कहा, तो फिर किस का उद्धार हो सकता है?
27 उस ने कहा; जो मनुष्य से नहीं हो सकता, वह परमेश्वर से हो सकता है।
28 पतरस ने कहा; देख, हम तो घर बार छोड़कर तेरे पीछे हो लिये हैं।
29 उस ने उन से कहा; मैं तुम से सच कहता हूं, कि ऐसा कोई नहीं जिस ने परमेश्वर के राज्य के लिये घर या पत्नी या भाइयों या माता पिता या लड़के-बालों को छोड़ दिया हो।
30 और इस समय कई गुणा अधिक न पाए; और परलोक में अनन्त जीवन॥
31 फिर उस ने बारहों को साथ लेकर उन से कहा; देखो, हम यरूशलेम को जाते हैं, और जितनी बातें मनुष्य के पुत्र के लिये भविष्यद्वक्ताओं के द्वारा लिखी गई हैं वे सब पूरी होंगी।
32 क्योंकि वह अन्यजातियों के हाथ में सौंपा जाएगा, और वे उसे ठट्ठों में उड़ाएंगे; और उसका अपमान करेंगे, और उस पर थूकेंगे।
33 और उसे कोड़े मारेंगे, और घात करेंगे, और वह तीसरे दिन जी उठेगा।
34 और उन्होंने इन बातों में से कोई बात न समझी: और यह बात उन में छिपी रही, और जो कहा गया था वह उन की समझ में न आया॥
35 जब वह यरीहो के निकट पहुंचा, तो एक अन्धा सड़क के किनारे बैठा हुआ भीख मांग रहा था।
36 और वह भीड़ के चलने की आहट सुनकर पूछने लगा, यह क्या हो रहा है?
37 उन्होंने उस को बताया, कि यीशु नासरी जा रहा है।
38 तब उस ने पुकार के कहा, हे यीशु दाऊद की सन्तान, मुझ पर दया कर।
39 जो आगे जाते थे, वे उसे डांटने लगे कि चुप रहे: परन्तु वह और भी चिल्लाने लगा, कि हे दाऊद की सन्तान, मुझ पर दया कर।
40 तब यीशु ने खड़े होकर आज्ञा दी कि उसे मेरे पास लाओ, और जब वह निकट आया, तो उस ने उस से यह पूछा।
41 तू क्या चाहता है, कि मैं तेरे लिये करूं? उस ने कहा; हे प्रभु यह कि मैं देखने लगूं।
42 यीशु ने उससे कहा; देखने लग, तेरे विश्वास ने तुझे अच्छा कर दिया है।
43 और वह तुरन्त देखने लगा; और परमेश्वर की बड़ाई करता हुआ उसके पीछे हो लिया, और सब लोगों ने देख कर परमेश्वर की स्तुति की॥
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 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.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 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.
14 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.
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
