耶稣的故事
很久以前，有一个男人叫耶稣。他住在很远的地方。耶稣是上帝的儿子。他爱每一个人。
有一天，耶稣去一个山下。很多人来找他。他们有生病的，有不开心的。耶稣看见他们，心里很爱他们。耶稣对他们说话，告诉他们：“你们不要怕。上帝爱你们。”
耶稣用很少的食物给很多人吃。他只用了五个饼和两条鱼。很多人坐在地上。耶稣谢谢上帝，然后把饼和鱼分给大家。很多人都吃了，也饱了。他们很高兴。耶稣说：“我们爱别人，也要帮助别人。”
耶稣也帮助生病的人。有一次，一个生病的人来找耶稣。他不能走路。耶稣看见他，就说：“你的病好了，你可以回家了。”那个人马上能走路了。他非常高兴，谢谢耶稣。耶稣说：“你的信救了你。”
耶稣爱小孩子。有一天，有人带小孩子来找耶稣。耶稣的门徒说：“不要带小孩子来。”耶稣听见了，说：“让小孩子来我这里。不要不让他们来。因为上帝爱小孩子。”然后耶稣抱着小孩子，为他们祷告。
很多人喜欢耶稣。但是也有一些人不喜欢他。他们说耶稣说的不对。他们抓了耶稣，把他钉在十字架上。耶稣很难过，但他不恨他们。他说：“上帝，请你原谅他们，因为他们不知道自己在做什么。”
三天以后，上帝让耶稣从死里复活。耶稣又活了。他的门徒看见他，非常高兴。耶稣说：“你们要去告诉每一个人：上帝爱他们。你们要爱彼此，像我爱你们一样。”
后来耶稣回到天上，和上帝在一起。但是他的爱还在我们心里。耶稣的故事告诉我们要爱别人，也爱上帝。爱是最大的事情。

The Story of Jesus
A long time ago, there was a man called Jesus. He lived in a place very far away. Jesus was the son of God. He loved every person.
One day, Jesus went to the bottom of a mountain. Many people came to find him. Some of them were sick, some were unhappy. Jesus saw them and loved them in his heart. Jesus spoke to them and told them: “Do not be afraid. God loves you.”
Jesus used very little food to feed many people. He only used five loaves of bread and two fish. Many people sat on the ground. Jesus thanked God, then gave the bread and fish to everyone. Many people ate and became full. They were very happy. Jesus said: “We love others, and we should also help others.”
Jesus also helped sick people. One time, a sick person came to find Jesus. He could not walk. Jesus saw him and said: “Your sickness is gone, you can go home now.” That person could walk immediately. He was very happy and thanked Jesus. Jesus said: “Your faith has saved you.”
Jesus loved children. One day, some people brought children to find Jesus. Jesus’ disciples said: “Do not bring children here.” Jesus heard this and said: “Let the children come to me. Do not stop them from coming. Because God loves children.” Then Jesus held the children and prayed for them.
Many people liked Jesus. But there were also some people who did not like him. They said that what Jesus said was not right. They arrested Jesus and nailed him to a cross. Jesus was very sad, but he did not hate them. He said: “God, please forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.”
Three days later, God made Jesus rise from death. Jesus was alive again. His disciples saw him and were very happy. Jesus said: “You must go and tell every person: God loves them. You must love each other, just as I have loved you.”
Later, Jesus went back to heaven, to be together with God. But his love is still in our hearts. The story of Jesus tells us to love others and also love God. Love is the greatest thing.
