跟从耶稣的妇女

不久,耶稣周游各城各村讲道,宣扬 神的国的福音,和他在一起的有十二个门徒, 还有几个蒙了医治、脱离污鬼与疾病的妇女,其中有称为抹大拉的马利亚,曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来; 有希律的管家古撒的妻子约亚拿,又有苏珊娜,和许多别的妇女,她们都用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒。

撒种的比喻(A)

当时有许多人聚在一起,还有人从各城来到耶稣那里,他就用比喻说: “有一个撒种的出去撒种,撒的时候,有的落在路旁,被人践踏,或给空中的小鸟吃掉。 有的落在石头地上,一长出来就枯萎了,因为得不着滋润。 有的落在荆棘丛中,荆棘也一齐生长,把它挤住了。 有的落在好土里,就生长起来,结出百倍的果实。”他说了这些话,就大声说:“有耳可听的,就应当听!”

用比喻的目的(B)

门徒问他这比喻是甚么意思。 10 他说:“ 神的国的奥秘,只给你们知道,对别人就用比喻,叫他们看却看不见,听却听不明白。

解释撒种的比喻(C)

11 “这比喻是说,种子是 神的道, 12 那落在路旁的,就是人听了,魔鬼随即来到,从他们心里把道夺去,恐怕他们相信就得救了。 13 那落在石头地上的,就是人听了,欢欢喜喜地接受,但是没有根,不过是暂时相信,一旦遭遇试炼,就倒退了。 14 那落在荆棘里的,就是人听了,走开以后,被今世的忧虑、财富和宴乐挤住了,结不出成熟的子粒来。 15 但那落在好土里的,就是人用诚实良善的心来听,把道持守住,忍耐着结出果实。

隐藏的事终必显露(D)

16 “没有人点灯用器皿盖上,或放在床底下,而是放在灯台上,叫进来的人都看得见光。 17 因为没有甚么隐藏的事不被显明,也没有甚么掩盖的事不被人知道而暴露出来。 18 所以你们应当留心怎样听,因为凡是有的,还要给他;凡是没有的,连他自以为有的,也要拿去。”

谁是耶稣的母亲和弟兄(E)

19 耶稣的母亲和弟弟来到他那里,因为人多,不能到他跟前。 20 有人转告耶稣:“你母亲和弟弟站在外面要见你。” 21 他回答他们:“听了 神的道而遵行的人,才是我的母亲,我的弟兄。”

平静风浪(F)

22 有一天,耶稣和门徒上了船,他对他们说:“我们渡到海那边去吧。”他们就开了船。 23 船行的时候,他睡着了。海上忽然起了狂风,他们全身湿透,非常危险。 24 门徒来叫醒耶稣,说:“主啊!主啊!我们没命了!”他醒过来,斥责风浪,风浪就止息、平静了。 25 耶稣对他们说:“你们的信心在哪里?”他们又惧怕、又希奇,彼此说:“这到底是谁?他吩咐风浪,连风浪也听从他。”

治好鬼附的格拉森人(G)

26 船到了格拉森人的地区,正在加利利对面, 27 耶稣一上岸,就有城里一个被鬼附着的人,迎面而来。这人已经很久不穿衣服,不住在家里,只住在坟墓里。 28 他一见耶稣,就俯伏喊叫,大声说:“至高 神的儿子耶稣,我跟你有甚么关系呢?求你不要使我受苦。” 29 因为耶稣已经吩咐这污灵从那人身上出来。原来这污灵屡次抓住那人;那人被铁链和脚炼捆锁,而且有人看管,他竟挣断锁炼,被鬼赶入旷野。 30 耶稣问他:“你叫甚么名字?”他说:“群。”因为进到那人里面的鬼很多。 31 他们求耶稣,不要赶他们进入无底坑。

32 那里有一大群猪正在山上吃东西。他们求耶稣准他们进入猪群。耶稣准许了, 33 鬼就从那人身上出来,进入猪群,猪群闯下山崖,掉在海里淹死了。 34 放猪的看见所发生的事就逃跑,到城里和各乡村把这事传开。 35 众人就出来看发生了甚么事。来到耶稣那里,看见鬼已经离开的那人,穿著衣服,神志清醒,坐在耶稣脚前,他们就害怕。 36 当时看见的人,把被鬼附过的人怎样得到医治,说给他们听。 37 格拉森一带的人,都要求耶稣离开他们,因为他们大大惧怕。他就上船回去了。 38 鬼已经离开的那人求耶稣,要跟他在一起;但耶稣打发他回去,说: 39 “你回家去,述说 神为你作了怎样的事。”他就走遍全城,传讲耶稣为他作了怎样的事。

治好血漏病的女人(H)

40 耶稣回来的时候,众人欢迎他,因为大家都在等着他。 41 那时,有一个人来了,名叫叶鲁,他是一位会堂主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前,求他往他家里去, 42 因为他的独生女,约十二岁,快要死了。耶稣去的时候,群众拥挤着他。

43 有一个女人,患了十二年的血漏病,在医生手里花尽了全部养生的(有些抄本无“在医生手里花尽了全部养生的”一句),没有一个能医好她。 44 她从后面挤来,一摸耶稣的衣裳繸子,血就立刻止住。 45 耶稣说:“摸我的是谁?”众人都不承认。彼得说:“主啊,众人都拥挤着你。” 46 耶稣说:“必定有人摸我,因为我觉得有能力从我身上出去。” 47 那女人见不能隐瞒,就战战兢兢地过来,向他俯伏,把摸他的缘故,和怎样立刻得到医治,在众人面前说出来。 48 耶稣对她说:“女儿,你的信使你痊愈了,平安地去吧!”

使女孩复活(I)

49 耶稣还在说话的时候,有人从会堂主管家里来,说:“你的女儿死了,不必再劳动老师了。” 50 耶稣听见就对他说:“不要怕,只要信,她必得痊愈。” 51 到了那家,除了彼得、约翰、雅各和女孩的父母以外,他不准任何人同他进屋里去。 52 众人都在为女孩痛哭哀号,他说:“不要哭!她不是死了,而是睡着了。” 53 他们明知女孩已经死了,就嘲笑他。 54 他进去拉着女孩的手,叫她说:“孩子,起来!” 55 她的灵魂回来了,她就立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她东西吃。 56 她父母非常惊奇。耶稣嘱咐他们不要把他所作的事告诉人。

Many Women Minister to Jesus

Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and [a]bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, and (A)certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and [b]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, (B)out of whom had come seven demons, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for [c]Him from their [d]substance.

The Parable of the Sower(C)

(D)And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded [e]a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, (E)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

The Purpose of Parables(F)

(G)Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”

10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the [f]mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that

(H)‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’

The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)

11 (J)“Now the parable is this: The seed is the (K)word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of [g]temptation fall away. 14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, (L)riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with (M)patience.[h]

The Parable of the Revealed Light(N)

16 (O)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the (P)light. 17 (Q)For nothing is secret that will not be (R)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [i]seems to (T)have will be taken from him.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Come to Him(U)

19 (V)Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”

21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(W)

22 (X)Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”

Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, (Y)“Where is your faith?”

And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, (Z)“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”

A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(AA)

26 (AB)Then they sailed to the country of the [k]Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons [l]for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he (AC)cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, (AD)“What have I to do with (AE)You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”

And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out (AF)into the abyss.

32 Now a herd of many (AG)swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.

34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, (AH)sitting at the (AI)feet of Jesus, clothed and in his (AJ)right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was [m]healed. 37 (AK)Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the [n]Gadarenes (AL)asked Him to (AM)depart from them, for they were seized with great (AN)fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

38 Now (AO)the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 (AP)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she (AQ)was dying.

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 (AR)Now a woman, having a (AS)flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and (AT)touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter [o]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [p]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived (AU)power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [q]be of good cheer; (AV)your faith has made you well. (AW)Go in peace.”

49 (AX)While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the [r]Teacher.”

50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; (AY)only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go [s]in except [t]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, (AZ)“Do not weep; she is not dead, (BA)but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But He [u]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, (BB)arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but (BC)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

The Parable of the Sower(A)

After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(B) The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(C) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(D) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”

When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(E)

His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(F) but to others I speak in parables, so that,

“‘though seeing, they may not see;
    though hearing, they may not understand.’[a](G)

11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(H) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(I) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(J) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

A Lamp on a Stand

16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(K) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(L) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(M)

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(N)

19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(O) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”

21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(P)

Jesus Calms the Storm(Q)(R)

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(S) we’re going to drown!”

He got up and rebuked(T) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(U) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.

In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(V)(W)

26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[b] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(X) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(Y) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(Z)

32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(AA) and was drowned.

34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(AB) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(AC) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(AD) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.

38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(AE)

40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(AF) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(AG) for twelve years,[c] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(AH) and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(AI) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(AJ) I know that power has gone out from me.”(AK)

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(AL) Go in peace.”(AM)

49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(AN) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(AO) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(AP) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(AQ)

53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(AR) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(AS)
