治好手枯的人

耶穌又進了會堂,那裡有個人一隻手是萎縮的。 當時有好些人密切地監視耶穌,看祂是否會在安息日醫治這個人,好找藉口控告祂。

耶穌對那一隻手萎縮的人說:「起來,站在中間。」 然後問眾人:「在安息日應該行善還是作惡?救人還是害人?」他們都不吭聲。

耶穌生氣地看著四周這些人,為他們的心剛硬而感到極其難過。祂對那人說:「把手伸出來!」那人一伸手,手就立刻復原了。 法利賽人離開後,立刻和希律黨的人策劃怎樣除掉耶穌。

群眾跟隨耶穌

耶穌和門徒退到湖邊,有一大群人從加利利來跟隨祂。 還有很多人聽見耶穌所做的一切,就從猶太、耶路撒冷、以土買、約旦河東,甚至泰爾和西頓一帶來找祂。 耶穌見人多,就吩咐門徒為祂預備一條小船,以免人群擁擠祂。 10 因為祂醫好了很多人,凡有疾病的人都想擠過來摸祂。 11 每當污鬼看見祂,就俯伏在祂面前,大喊:「你是上帝的兒子!」 12 耶穌卻嚴厲地吩咐牠們不要洩露祂的身分。

選立十二使徒

13 耶穌上了山,把合自己心意的人召集到跟前, 14 從中選出十二個人,設立他們為使徒,讓他們跟隨自己,並且差遣他們出去傳道, 15 賜他們趕鬼的權柄。

16 這十二位使徒是:西門——耶穌給他取名叫彼得、 17 西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰——耶穌給他們取名叫「半尼其」,就是「雷霆之子」的意思、 18 安得烈、腓力、巴多羅買、馬太、多馬、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、達太、激進黨人西門、 19 及後來出賣耶穌的加略人猶大。

耶穌和別西卜

20 耶穌剛進家門,人群又聚集起來,以致祂和門徒連吃飯的時間也沒有。 21 祂的親屬聽見這個消息,就出來要拉住祂,因為人們說祂瘋了。

22 從耶路撒冷下來的律法教師說:「祂被別西卜附體。」又說:「祂是靠鬼王趕鬼。」

23 耶穌叫他們來,用比喻對他們說:「撒旦怎能驅逐撒旦呢? 24 一個國內部自相紛爭,必然崩潰。 25 一個家內部自相紛爭,必然破裂。 26 同樣,撒旦如果與自己為敵,自相紛爭,就站立不住,必然滅亡。 27 沒有人能進入壯漢家裡搶奪他的財物,除非先把那壯漢捆綁起來,才有可能搶劫他的家。

28 「我實在告訴你們,世人一切的罪和褻瀆的話都可以得到赦免, 29 唯有褻瀆聖靈的人永遠得不到赦免,他們要永遠擔罪。」 30 耶穌這樣說是因為他們誣衊祂被污鬼附身。

誰是耶穌的親人

31 這時候,耶穌的母親和兄弟來了,他們站在外面,託人叫耶穌。 32 有許多人圍坐在耶穌身邊,他們告訴祂說:「看啊!你的母親和兄弟在外面找你。」

33 耶穌說:「誰是我的母親?誰是我的弟兄?」 34 然後祂望著周圍坐著的人說:「看啊!我的母親、我的弟兄在這裡。 35 凡遵行上帝旨意的人就是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親。」

A Man with a Withered Hand Healed

And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there. And they were watching him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come into the middle.” And he said to them, “Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your[a] hand.” And he stretched it[b] out, and his hand was restored. And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians and began to conspire[c] against him with regard to how they could destroy him.

Jesus Heals Crowds by the Sea

And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea,[d] and a great crowd from Galilee followed him.[e] And from Judea and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon a great crowd came to him because they[f] heard all that he was doing. And he told his disciples that a small boat should stand ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not press upon him. 10 For he had healed many, so that all those who were suffering from diseases[g] pressed about him in order that they could touch him. 11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, were falling down before him and crying out, saying, “You are the Son of God!” 12 And he warned them strictly that they should not make him known.

The Selection of the Twelve Apostles

13 And he went up on the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted, and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve,[h] so that they would be with him and so that he could send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to expel demons. 16 And he appointed the twelve.[i] And to Simon he gave the name Peter, 17 and James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (and he gave to them the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”), 18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,[j] 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

A House Divided Cannot Stand

20 And he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they were not even able to eat a meal. 21 And when[k] his family[l] heard this,[m] they went out to restrain him, for they were saying, “He has lost his mind!”

22 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!” and “By the ruler of the demons he expels the demons!” 23 And he called them to himself and[n] was speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan expel Satan? 24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he is not able to stand, but is at an end! 27 But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong man and[o] plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man, and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

28 “Truly I say to you that all the sins and the blasphemies will be forgiven the sons of men, however much they blaspheme. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness forever,[p] but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

31 And his mother and his brothers arrived, and standing outside, they sent word to him to summon him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers[q] are outside looking for you.” 33 And he answered them and[r] said, “Who is my mother or[s] my brothers?” 34 And looking around at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, this person is my brother and sister and mother.”

Jezi geri yon nonm yon jou repo

(Mat 12:9-14; Lik 6:6-11)

Yon lòt fwa ankò, Jezi antre nan sinagòg la. Te gen yon nonm ki te gen yon men l paralize ki te la nan sinagòg la. Kèk moun ki te la t ap veye Jezi byen pou wè si Jezi ta geri nonm nan jou repo a, pou yo ta jwenn yon bagay pou akize l. Jezi di nonm ki te gen men paralize a: “Kanpe nan mitan pou tout moun ka wè w.”

Jezi mande moun yo: “Èske lalwa pèmèt nou fè bon bagay oubyen move bagay jou saba? Èske lalwa pèmèt sove lavi oubyen touye yon moun.” Yo pa reponn Jezi yon mo.

Lè sa a, Jezi gade yo ak yon kòlè melanje ak yon tristès, tèlman tèt yo te rèd. Jezi di nonm lan: “Lonje men w.” Nonm nan lonje men l, epi men l geri. Apre sa, Farizyen yo pati al jwenn Ewodyen yo, pou yo fè plan pou wè kijan ki pi fasil pou yo touye Jezi.

Anpil moun ap swiv Jezi

Jezi ak disip li yo al bò lak Galile a, epi yon foul moun ki te sòti nan Galile ak nan Jide t ap swiv yo. Te gen moun ki sòti nan Jerizalèm, nan Idime, lòt bò rivyè Jouden an ak nan zòn Tir ak Sidon ki t ap swiv li tou. Se te you gwo foul moun. Yo te vin wè Jezi paske yo te tande sa li t ap fè.

Alò Jezi di disip li yo pou yo pare yon ti bato pou li pou foul la pa ta antoure l twòp. 10 Kòm Jezi t ap fè anpil gerizon, tout moun ki te malad t ap pouse youn lòt pou yo ta kapab touche l. 11 Epi chak fwa yon move lespri wè Jezi, yo tonbe devan l epi yo tonbe rele byen fò: “Ou se Pitit Bondye a.” 12 Jezi pale avèk yo byen sevè pou yo pa di ki moun Jezi ye.

Jezi chwazi douz apot li yo

(Mat 10:1-4; Lik 6:12-16)

13 Apre sa, Jezi monte sou mòn lan, li rele moun li te vle epi yo te vin jwenn li. 14 Li chwazi douz, li rele yo apot.[a] Li chwazi yo pou yo te avèk li epi pou l te voye yo preche. 15 Jezi te chwazi yo tou pou yo te ka gen otorite pou chase demon. 16 Men non douz moun li rele apot yo.

Li bay Simon non Pyè,

17 Apre sa Jak ak Jan frè l, pitit Zebede yo li rele yo Bowanègès, ki vle di “Nonm ki mete l ankòlè kòm yon loray”,

18 Apre sa Andre,

Filip,

Batèlmi,

Matye,

Toma,

Jak pitit Alfe a,

Tade epi

Simon yo bay non Patryòt,

19 epi Jida Iskaryòt ki te trayi l la.

Puisans Jezi soti nan Bondye

(Mat 12:22-32; Lik 11:14-23; 12:10)

20 Apre sa, Jezi retounen lakay la, menm jan an ankò, you foul vin rasanble. Sa fè li menm ak disip yo pa t menm gen tan pou manje. 21 Lè fanmi Jezi yo te tande sa, yo te vin chache l, paske te gen moun ki t ap di Jezi pèdi tèt li.

22 Doktè lalwa yo ki te soti Jerizalèm t ap di: “Se Satan[b] ki nan tèt li. Se ak chèf demon an l ap chase demon.”

23 Jezi rele yo epi li pale ak yo an parabòl: “Ki jan Satan ka fè chase Satan? 24 Yon wayòm ki divize p ap rete kanpe. 25 Yon kay ki divize p ap kanpe non plis. 26 Si Satan ta leve kont pwòp tèt li, li divize, li pa ka kanpe, pouvwa l t ap fin i.

27 Pèsòn pa ka antre nan kay yon nèg vanyan pou l vòlè afè l, si li pa mare l anvan. 28 An verite, m ap di nou sa byen, Bondye ap padone tout kalite peche, menm tout kalite move bagay mal yo di sou li. 29 Men kanta pou moun ki pale Sentespri a mal, peche sa a p ap jan jwenn padon.”

30 Jezi te di sa paske doktè Lalwa yo te akize l, lè yo di se yon move zespri ki te nan li.

Se disip Jezi ki vrè fanmi li

(Mat 12:46-50; Lik 8:19-21)

31 Pandan tan sa a, manman Jezi ak frè l yo te vin parèt. Yo rete deyò epi yo voye yon moun al rele l. 32 Yon foul moun te chita devan Jezi epi yo vin di l: “Men manman w, ak frè w yo ak sè[c] w yo deyò a ap chache w.”

33 Jezi reponn yo: “Ki moun ki manman m? Ki moun ki frè m ak sè m?” 34 Apre sa, Jezi gade moun ki te chita devan l yo epi li di: “Men moun ki manman m, frè m ak sè m. 35 Se moun ki fè volonte Bondye ki frè m, sè m ak manman m.”

The Man with a Withered Hand

Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come here.” And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out, and immediately held counsel with the Hero′di-ans against him, how to destroy him.

A Multitude at the Seaside

Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea and Jerusalem and Idume′a and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude, hearing all that he did, came to him. And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him; 10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. 11 And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

Jesus Appoints the Twelve

13 And he went up on the mountain, and called to him those whom he desired; and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve,[a] to be with him, and to be sent out to preach 15 and have authority to cast out demons: 16 Simon[b] whom he surnamed Peter; 17 James the son of Zeb′edee and John the brother of James, whom he surnamed Bo-aner′ges, that is, sons of thunder; 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Jesus and Beelzebul

Then he went home; 20 and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat. 21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, “He is beside himself.” 22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Be-el′zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23 And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.

28 “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

The True Kindred of Jesus

31 And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers[c] are outside, asking for you.” 33 And he replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
