39 耶稣又用比喻对他们说,瞎子岂能领瞎子,两个人不是都要掉在坑里吗?
He also told them this parable: 'Can a blind manlead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 学生不能高过先生。凡学成了的不过和先生一样。
A student is not above his teacher, but everyonewho is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 为什么看见你弟兄眼中有刺,却不想自己眼中有梁木呢?'Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in yourbrother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
42 你不见自己眼中有梁木。怎能对你弟兄说,容我去掉你眼中的刺呢?你这假冒为善的人,先去掉自己眼中的梁木,然后才能看得清楚,去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。How can you say to your brother, `Brother, letme take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank inyour own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then youwill see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
'No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a badtree bear good fruit.
44 凡树木看果子,就可以认出他来。人不是从荆棘上摘无花果,也不是从蒺??里摘葡萄。Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. Peopledo not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
45 善人从他心里所存的善,就发出善来。恶人从他心里所存的恶,就发出恶来。因为心里所充满的,口里就说出来。The good man brings good things out of the goodstored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evilstored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
46 你们为什么称呼我主阿,主阿,却不遵我的话行呢?'Why do you call me, `Lord, Lord,' and do not dowhat I say?
47 凡到我这里来,听见我的话就去行的,我要告诉你们他像什么人。I will show you what he is like who comes to meand hears my words and puts them into practice.
48 他像一个人盖房子,深深的挖地,把根基安在磐石上。到发大水的时候,水冲那房子,房子总不能摇动。因为根基立在磐石上。有古卷作因为盖造得好He is like a man building a house, who dug downdeep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struckthat house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49 惟有听见不去行的,就像一个人在土地上盖房子,没有根基。水一冲,随即倒塌了,并且那房子坏得很大。But the one who hears my words and does not putthem into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without afoundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and itsdestruction was complete.'
