呼召門徒

一天,耶穌站在革尼撒勒湖邊,眾人團團圍著祂,要聽上帝的道。 祂看見湖邊停著兩條船,漁夫離了船正在洗網, 就上了西門的那條船,請西門把船稍微划離岸邊,然後坐在船上教導眾人。 耶穌講完之後對西門說:「把船划到水深的地方去撒網捕魚。」

西門說:「老師,我們勞碌了一整夜,一無所獲,但既然你這樣吩咐,我就照你的話做。」 他們把網撒下去,果然捕獲很多魚,差點把網撐破了, 於是招呼另一條船上的同伴來幫忙。他們一起把兩條船都裝滿了魚,船幾乎要沉下去了。

西門·彼得見狀,便跪倒在耶穌膝前說:「主啊,離開我,我是個罪人!」 他和所有同伴們對捕到這麼多魚感到非常驚訝, 10 包括西庇太的兩個兒子雅各和約翰。耶穌對西門說:「不要怕,從今以後,你將成為得人的漁夫。」 11 於是他們把船靠岸後,撇下一切跟從了耶穌。

潔淨痲瘋病人

12 有一次,耶穌在一個小鎮遇見一個渾身患痲瘋病的人,那人一看見耶穌,就俯伏在地上懇求說:「主啊,如果你肯,一定能使我潔淨。」

13 耶穌伸手摸他,說:「我肯,你潔淨了吧!」他身上的痲瘋病立刻消失了。

14 耶穌又囑咐他:「不要把這事告訴別人,要去讓祭司察看你的身體,照摩西的規定獻上祭物,向眾人證明你已經潔淨了。」

15 結果耶穌的名聲傳得更廣了,成群的人聚集到祂那裡聽祂講道、求祂醫病。 16 不過,祂還是常常退到曠野去禱告。

叫癱子行走

17 有一天,耶穌在教導人,旁邊坐著來自加利利、猶太和耶路撒冷各地的法利賽人和律法教師,主的能力伴隨著耶穌,使祂能醫治病人。

18 有人用擔架抬著一個癱瘓的人想進到屋裡,把他放在耶穌面前。 19 可是人太擠了,無法進去,他們就爬上屋頂,掀開瓦片,把那病人連人帶擔架縋到耶穌面前。 20 耶穌看見他們那麼有信心,就對癱子說:「朋友,你的罪得到赦免了!」

21 那些法利賽人和律法教師開始議論起來:「這個說話褻瀆上帝的人是誰啊?除了上帝以外,誰能夠赦罪?」

22 耶穌知道他們的想法,就問:「你們為什麼心裡議論呢? 23 說『你的罪得到赦免了』容易呢,還是說『你起來行走』容易呢? 24 如今我要讓你們知道人子在世上有赦罪的權柄。」於是對癱子說:「我吩咐你起來!收拾你的擔架回家去吧。」

25 那人立刻當眾站了起來,拿起他躺臥的擔架回家去了,不住地讚美上帝。 26 眾人都十分驚奇,一同讚美上帝,心裡充滿了敬畏,說:「今天我們看到神蹟了!」

呼召利未

27 後來耶穌外出時,看見一個名叫利未的稅吏坐在收稅站裡,就對他說:「跟從我!」 28 利未就起來,撇下一切跟從了耶穌。

29 隨後,他在家設宴款待耶穌,赴宴的人中有許多稅吏和其他人。 30 法利賽人和律法教師就向耶穌的門徒抱怨說:「你們為什麼跟稅吏和罪人一起吃喝呢?」

31 耶穌答道:「健康的人不需要醫生,有病的人才需要。 32 我來不是要召義人悔改,乃是召罪人悔改。」

論禁食

33 他們說:「約翰的門徒常常禁食禱告,法利賽人的門徒也是一樣,可是你的門徒卻又吃又喝。」

34 耶穌說:「新郎還跟賓客在一起的時候,豈能讓賓客禁食? 35 但有一天新郎將被帶走,那時他們就要禁食了。」 36 耶穌又給他們講了一個比喻,說:「沒有人會從新衣服上撕下一塊布來,補在舊衣服上。否則,不但新衣服撕破了,舊衣服和新補丁也不相稱。 37 同樣,沒有人把新酒裝進舊皮囊裡,否則新酒會把舊皮囊漲破,酒也漏了,皮囊也毀了。 38 所以新酒一定要裝在新皮囊裡。 39 但是,沒有人喝過陳年老酒後,還願意喝新酒,因為他會說,『還是陳年老酒好。』」

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples(A)

So (B)it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to (C)hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He (D)sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, (E)“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught (F)nothing; nevertheless (G)at Your word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, (H)“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

For he and all who were with him were (I)astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. (J)From now on you will catch men.” 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, (K)they [a]forsook all and followed Him.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper(L)

12 (M)And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of (N)leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and [b]implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13 Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” (O)Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 (P)And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, (Q)just as Moses commanded.”

15 However, (R)the report went around concerning Him all the more; and (S)great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. 16 (T)So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and (U)prayed.

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic(V)

17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present [c]to heal them. 18 (W)Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. 19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst (X)before Jesus.

20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

21 (Y)And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? (Z)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22 But when Jesus (AA)perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, (AB)“I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”

25 Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, (AC)glorifying God. 26 And they were all amazed, and they (AD)glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”

Matthew the Tax Collector(AE)

27 (AF)After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, (AG)“Follow Me.” 28 So he left all, rose up, and (AH)followed Him.

29 (AI)Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And (AJ)there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. 30 [d]And their scribes and the Pharisees [e]complained against His disciples, saying, (AK)“Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31 Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 (AL)I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting(AM)

33 Then they said to Him, (AN)“Why[f] do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”

34 And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the (AO)bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”

36 (AP)Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one [g]puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, [h]and both are preserved. 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, [i]immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is [j]better.’ ”
