ThePharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 15 耶稣对他们说,你们是在人面前自称为义的。你们的心,神却知道。因为人所尊贵的是神看为可憎恶的。Hesaid to them, 'You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, butGod knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God'ssight. 16 律法和先知,到约翰为止。从此神国的福音传开了,人人努力要进去。'TheLaw and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good newsof the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way intoit. 17 天地废去,较比律法的一点一画落空还容易。Itis easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pento drop out of the Law. 18 凡休妻另娶的,就是犯奸淫。娶被休之妻的,也是犯奸淫。'Anyonewho divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the manwho marries a divorced woman commits adultery. 19 有一个财主,穿着紫色袍和细麻布衣服,天天奢华宴乐。'Therewas a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxuryevery day. 20 又有一个讨饭的,名叫拉撒路,浑身生疮,被人放在财主门口,Athis gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 要得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥。并且狗来舔他的疮。andlonging to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came andlicked his sores. 22 后来那讨饭的死了,被天使带去放在亚伯拉罕的怀里。财主也死了,并且埋葬了。'Thetime came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side.The rich man also died and was buried. 23 他在阴间受痛苦,举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕,又望见拉撒路在他怀里。Inhell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, withLazarus by his side. 24 就喊着说,我祖亚伯拉罕哪,可怜我吧,打发拉撒路来,用指头尖蘸点水,凉凉我的舌头。因为我在这火焰里,极其痛苦。Sohe called to him, `Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip thetip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in thisfire.' 25 亚伯拉罕说,儿阿,你该回想你生前享过福,拉撒路也受过苦。如今他在这里得安慰,你倒受痛苦。'ButAbraham replied, `Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your goodthings, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and youare in agony. 26 不但这样,并且在你我之间,有深渊限定,以致人要从这边过到你们那边,是不能的,要从那边过到我们这边,也是不能的。Andbesides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so thatthose who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over fromthere to us.' 27 财主说,我祖阿,既是这样,求你打发拉撒路到我父家去。'Heanswered, `Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28 因为我还有五个弟兄。他可以对他们作见证,免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方。forI have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come tothis place of torment.' 29 亚伯拉罕说,他们有摩西和先知的话,可以听从。'Abrahamreplied, `They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' 30 他说,我祖亚伯拉罕哪,不是的。若有一个从死里复活的,到他们那里去的,他们必要悔改。'`No,father Abraham,' he said, `but if someone from the dead goes to them, they willrepent.' 31 亚伯拉罕说,若不听从摩西和先知的话,就是有一个从死里复活的,他们也是不听劝。'Hesaid to him, `If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not beconvinced even if someone rises from the dead.''温馨提醒:慢慢阅读经文2-3遍,找出每节中心动词和中心语,依据每节经文内容提问,再自己按照经文回答!
