聖經 (和合本) 新約：路加福音(Luke)

The Gospel of Luke stands apart among the four Gospels for its lyrical prose and its obsessive attention to the marginalized: the poor, the sick, women, sinners, and outcasts. Written by Luke, the physician and companion of Paul, this Gospel reads like a carefully researched historical narrative, opening with the birth announcements of John the Baptist and Jesus before unfolding into the most comprehensive account of Jesus' ministry, parables, and passion. Here you'll find the unforgettable stories that have shaped Western consciousness for two millennia: the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, the encounter with Zacchaeus in the sycamore tree, the road to Emmaus. Luke emphasizes the Holy Spirit's work and Jesus' prayer life more than the other evangelists, and his portrait of Christ is suffused with gentleness and tears. The Chinese Union Version, first published in 1919, remains the most widely used Protestant Bible translation in Chinese, its language having shaped generations of Chinese-speaking believers.
