马可福音 11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
主骑驴进耶路撒冷
11 耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其和伯大尼,在橄榄山那里,耶稣就打发两个门徒, 2 对他们说:“你们往对面村子里去,一进去的时候,必看见一匹驴驹拴在那里,是从来没有人骑过的,可以解开牵来。 3 若有人对你们说:‘为什么做这事?’你们就说:‘主要用它。’那人必立时让你们牵来。” 4 他们去了,便看见一匹驴驹拴在门外街道上,就把它解开。 5 在那里站着的人有几个说:“你们解驴驹做什么?” 6 门徒照着耶稣所说的回答,那些人就任凭他们牵去了。 7 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,耶稣就骑上。 8 有许多人把衣服铺在路上,也有人把田间的树枝砍下来铺在路上。 9 前行后随的人都喊着说:“和散那[a]!奉主名来的是应当称颂的! 10 那将要来的我祖大卫之国是应当称颂的!高高在上和散那!” 11 耶稣进了耶路撒冷,入了圣殿,周围看了各样物件。天色已晚,就和十二个门徒出城,往伯大尼去了。
无花果树被咒诅
12 第二天,他们从伯大尼出来,耶稣饿了。远远地看见一棵无花果树,树上有叶子,就往那里去,或者在树上可以找着什么。 13 到了树下,竟找不着什么,不过有叶子,因为不是收无花果的时候。 14 耶稣就对树说:“从今以后,永没有人吃你的果子!”他的门徒也听见了。
洁净圣殿
15 他们来到耶路撒冷。耶稣进入圣殿,赶出殿里做买卖的人,推倒兑换银钱之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子, 16 也不许人拿着器具从殿里经过。 17 便教训他们,说:“经上不是记着说‘我的殿必称为万国祷告的殿’吗?你们倒使它成为贼窝了!” 18 祭司长和文士听见这话,就想法子要除灭耶稣,却又怕他,因为众人都稀奇他的教训。
19 每天晚上,耶稣出城去。
信心的能力
20 早晨,他们从那里经过,看见无花果树连根都枯干了。 21 彼得想起耶稣的话来,就对他说:“拉比,请看,你所咒诅的无花果树已经枯干了!” 22 耶稣回答说:“你们当信服神。 23 我实在告诉你们:无论何人对这座山说:‘你挪开此地,投在海里!’,他若心里不疑惑,只信他所说的必成,就必给他成了。 24 所以我告诉你们,凡你们祷告祈求的,无论是什么,只要信是得着的,就必得着。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪你们,就当饶恕他,好叫你们在天上的父也饶恕你们的过犯。 26 你们若不饶恕人,你们在天上的父也不饶恕你们的过犯。[b]”
辩驳耶稣的权柄
27 他们又来到耶路撒冷。耶稣在殿里行走的时候,祭司长和文士并长老进前来, 28 问他说:“你仗着什么权柄做这些事?给你这权柄的是谁呢?” 29 耶稣对他们说:“我要问你们一句话,你们回答我,我就告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。 30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的,是从人间来的呢?你们可以回答我。” 31 他们彼此商议说:“我们若说从天上来,他必说:‘这样,你们为什么不信他呢?’ 32 若说从人间来,却又怕百姓,因为众人真以约翰为先知。” 33 于是回答耶稣说:“我们不知道。”耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。”

Mark 11
New International Version
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany(C) at the Mount of Olives,(D) Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.(E) Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna![a]”
10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”(H)
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.(I)
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts(J)(K)(L)
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.(M) 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]?(N) But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]”(O)
18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him,(P) because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.(Q)
19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples[e] went out of the city.(R)
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(S) look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[f] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.(T) 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.(U) 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”(V) [26] [g]
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(W)
27 They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him. 28 “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”
29 Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”
31 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …” (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)(X)
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
施洗约翰传道
1 神的儿子,耶稣基督福音的起头。 2 正如先知以赛亚[a]书上记着说:“看哪!我要差遣我的使者在你前面,预备道路。 3 在旷野有人声喊着说:‘预备主的道,修直他的路!’” 4 照这话,约翰来了,在旷野施洗,传悔改的洗礼,使罪得赦。 5 犹太全地和耶路撒冷的人都出去到约翰那里,承认他们的罪,在约旦河里受他的洗。 6 约翰穿骆驼毛的衣服,腰束皮带,吃的是蝗虫、野蜜。 7 他传道说:“有一位在我以后来的,能力比我更大,我就是弯腰给他解鞋带也是不配的。 8 我是用水给你们施洗,他却要用圣灵给你们施洗。”
耶稣受洗
9 那时,耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来,在约旦河里受了约翰的洗。 10 他从水里一上来,就看见天裂开了,圣灵仿佛鸽子降在他身上; 11 又有声音从天上来说:“你是我的爱子,我喜悦你。”
耶稣受试探
12 圣灵就把耶稣催到旷野里去。 13 他在旷野四十天,受撒旦的试探,并与野兽同在一处,且有天使来伺候他。
14 约翰下监以后,耶稣来到加利利,宣传神的福音, 15 说:“日期满了,神的国近了!你们当悔改,信福音!”
16 耶稣顺着加利利的海边走,看见西门和西门的兄弟安得烈在海里撒网,他们本是打鱼的。 17 耶稣对他们说:“来跟从我,我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样。” 18 他们就立刻舍了网,跟从了他。 19 耶稣稍往前走,又见西庇太的儿子雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰在船上补网, 20 耶稣随即招呼他们。他们就把父亲西庇太和雇工人留在船上,跟从耶稣去了。
在迦百农赶逐污鬼
21 到了迦百农,耶稣就在安息日进了会堂教训人。 22 众人很稀奇他的教训,因为他教训他们正像有权柄的人,不像文士。 23 在会堂里有一个人被污鬼附着,他喊叫说: 24 “拿撒勒人耶稣,我们与你有什么相干?你来灭我们吗?我知道你是谁,乃是神的圣者!” 25 耶稣责备他说:“不要作声!从这人身上出来吧!” 26 污鬼叫那人抽了一阵风,大声喊叫,就出来了。 27 众人都惊讶,以致彼此对问说:“这是什么事?是个新道理啊!他用权柄吩咐污鬼,连污鬼也听从了他。” 28 耶稣的名声就传遍了加利利的四方。
医西门岳母
29 他们一出会堂,就同着雅各、约翰进了西门和安得烈的家。 30 西门的岳母正害热病躺着,就有人告诉耶稣。 31 耶稣进前拉着她的手,扶她起来,热就退了,她就服侍他们。
32 天晚日落的时候,有人带着一切害病的和被鬼附的来到耶稣跟前。 33 合城的人都聚集在门前。 34 耶稣治好了许多害各样病的人,又赶出许多鬼,不许鬼说话,因为鬼认识他。
到旷野祷告
35 次日早晨,天未亮的时候,耶稣起来到旷野地方去,在那里祷告。 36 西门和同伴追了他去, 37 遇见了就对他说:“众人都找你。” 38 耶稣对他们说:“我们可以往别处去,到邻近的乡村,我也好在那里传道,因为我是为这事出来的。” 39 于是在加利利全地,进了会堂,传道、赶鬼。
洁净长大麻风的
40 有一个长大麻风的来求耶稣,向他跪下,说:“你若肯,必能叫我洁净了。” 41 耶稣动了慈心,就伸手摸他,说:“我肯,你洁净了吧!” 42 大麻风即时离开他,他就洁净了。 43 耶稣严严地嘱咐他,就打发他走, 44 对他说:“你要谨慎,什么话都不可告诉人,只要去把身体给祭司察看,又因为你洁净了,献上摩西所吩咐的礼物,对众人做证据。” 45 那人出去,倒说许多的话,把这件事传扬开了,叫耶稣以后不得再明明地进城,只好在外边旷野地方。人从各处都就了他来。
医治瘫子
2 过了些日子,耶稣又进了迦百农。人听见他在房子里, 2 就有许多人聚集,甚至连门前都没有空地。耶稣就对他们讲道。 3 有人带着一个瘫子来见耶稣,是用四个人抬来的。 4 因为人多,不得近前,就把耶稣所在的房子拆了房顶。既拆通了,就把瘫子连所躺卧的褥子都缒下来。 5 耶稣见他们的信心,就对瘫子说:“小子,你的罪赦了!” 6 有几个文士坐在那里,心里议论说: 7 “这个人为什么这样说呢?他说僭妄的话了!除了神以外,谁能赦罪呢?” 8 耶稣心中知道他们心里这样议论,就说:“你们心里为什么这样议论呢? 9 或对瘫子说‘你的罪赦了’,或说‘起来,拿你的褥子行走’,哪一样容易呢? 10 但要叫你们知道,人子在地上有赦罪的权柄。”就对瘫子说: 11 “我吩咐你,起来,拿你的褥子回家去吧!” 12 那人就起来,立刻拿着褥子,当众人面前出去了。以致众人都惊奇,归荣耀于神,说:“我们从来没有见过这样的事!”
耶稣召利未
13 耶稣又出到海边去,众人都就了他来,他便教训他们。 14 耶稣经过的时候,看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在税关上,就对他说:“你跟从我来!”他就起来跟从了耶稣。 15 耶稣在利未家里坐席的时候,有好些税吏和罪人与耶稣并门徒一同坐席,因为这样的人多,他们也跟随耶稣。 16 法利赛人中的文士[b]看见耶稣和罪人并税吏一同吃饭,就对他门徒说:“他和税吏并罪人一同吃喝吗?” 17 耶稣听见,就对他们说:“康健的人用不着医生,有病的人才用得着。我来本不是召义人,乃是召罪人。”
论禁食
18 当下,约翰的门徒和法利赛人禁食。他们来问耶稣说:“约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒禁食,你的门徒倒不禁食,这是为什么呢?” 19 耶稣对他们说:“新郎和陪伴之人同在的时候,陪伴之人岂能禁食呢?新郎还同在,他们不能禁食。 20 但日子将到,新郎要离开他们,那日他们就要禁食。
新旧难合的比喻
21 “没有人把新布缝在旧衣服上,恐怕所补上的新布带坏了旧衣服,破的就更大了。 22 也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里,恐怕酒把皮袋裂开,酒和皮袋就都坏了。唯把新酒装在新皮袋里。”
人子是安息日的主
23 耶稣当安息日从麦地经过,他门徒行路的时候掐了麦穗。 24 法利赛人对耶稣说:“看哪,他们在安息日为什么做不可做的事呢?” 25 耶稣对他们说:“经上记着大卫和跟从他的人缺乏、饥饿之时所做的事,你们没有念过吗? 26 他当亚比亚他做大祭司的时候,怎么进了神的殿,吃了陈设饼,又给跟从他的人吃?这饼除了祭司以外,人都不可吃。” 27 又对他们说:“安息日是为人设立的,人不是为安息日设立的。 28 所以,人子也是安息日的主。”
在安息日治病
3 耶稣又进了会堂。在那里有一个人枯干了一只手。 2 众人窥探耶稣在安息日医治不医治,意思是要控告耶稣。 3 耶稣对那枯干一只手的人说:“起来,站在当中!” 4 又问众人说:“在安息日行善、行恶,救命、害命,哪样是可以的呢?”他们都不作声。 5 耶稣怒目周围看他们,忧愁他们的心刚硬,就对那人说:“伸出手来!”他把手一伸,手就复了原。 6 法利赛人出去,同希律一党的人商议怎样可以除灭耶稣。
7 耶稣和门徒退到海边去,有许多人从加利利跟随他。 8 还有许多人听见他所做的大事,就从犹太、耶路撒冷、以土买、约旦河外,并推罗、西顿的四方来到他那里。 9 他因为人多,就吩咐门徒叫一只小船伺候着,免得众人拥挤他。 10 他治好了许多人,所以凡有灾病的都挤进来要摸他。 11 污鬼无论何时看见他,就俯伏在他面前,喊着说:“你是神的儿子!” 12 耶稣再三地嘱咐他们,不要把他显露出来。
耶稣设立十二门徒
13 耶稣上了山,随自己的意思叫人来,他们便来到他那里。 14 他就设立十二个人,要他们常和自己同在,也要差他们去传道, 15 并给他们权柄赶鬼。 16 这十二个人有西门,耶稣又给他起名叫彼得; 17 还有西庇太的儿子雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰,又给这两个人起名叫半尼其,就是雷子的意思; 18 又有安得烈,腓力,巴多罗买,马太,多马,亚勒腓的儿子雅各,和达太,并奋锐党的西门; 19 还有卖耶稣的加略人犹大。
驳倒文士的谗言
20 耶稣进了一个屋子,众人又聚集,甚至他连饭也顾不得吃。 21 耶稣的亲属听见,就出来要拉住他,因为他们说他癫狂了。 22 从耶路撒冷下来的文士说:“他是被别西卜附着。”又说:“他是靠着鬼王赶鬼。” 23 耶稣叫他们来,用比喻对他们说:“撒旦怎能赶出撒旦呢? 24 若一国自相纷争,那国就站立不住; 25 若一家自相纷争,那家就站立不住。 26 若撒旦自相攻打纷争,他就站立不住,必要灭亡。 27 没有人能进壮士家里抢夺他的家具,必先捆住那壮士,才可以抢夺他的家。
亵渎圣灵永不赦免
28 “我实在告诉你们:世人一切的罪和一切亵渎的话都可得赦免, 29 凡亵渎圣灵的,却永不得赦免,乃要担当永远的罪。” 30 这话是因为他们说他是被污鬼附着的。
信者皆为亲属
31 当下,耶稣的母亲和弟兄来,站在外边,打发人去叫他。 32 有许多人在耶稣周围坐着,他们就告诉他说:“看哪,你母亲和你弟兄在外边找你。” 33 耶稣回答说:“谁是我的母亲?谁是我的弟兄?” 34 就四面观看那周围坐着的人,说:“看哪,我的母亲,我的弟兄! 35 凡遵行神旨意的人,就是我的弟兄、姐妹和母亲了。”
撒种的比喻
4 耶稣又在海边教训人。有许多人到他那里聚集,他只得上船坐下。船在海里,众人都靠近海,站在岸上。 2 耶稣就用比喻教训他们许多道理。在教训之间,对他们说: 3 “你们听啊!有一个撒种的出去撒种。 4 撒的时候,有落在路旁的,飞鸟来吃尽了。 5 有落在土浅石头地上的,土既不深,发苗最快, 6 日头出来一晒,因为没有根,就枯干了。 7 有落在荆棘里的,荆棘长起来,把它挤住了,就不结实。 8 又有落在好土里的,就发生长大,结实有三十倍的,有六十倍的,有一百倍的。” 9 又说:“有耳可听的,就应当听!”
用比喻的因由
10 无人的时候,跟随耶稣的人和十二个门徒问他这比喻的意思。 11 耶稣对他们说:“神国的奥秘只叫你们知道,若是对外人讲,凡事就用比喻, 12 叫‘他们看是看见,却不晓得,听是听见,却不明白;恐怕他们回转过来,就得赦免’。”
解明撒种的比喻
13 又对他们说:“你们不明白这比喻吗?这样怎能明白一切的比喻呢? 14 撒种之人所撒的就是道。 15 那撒在路旁的,就是人听了道,撒旦立刻来,把撒在他心里的道夺了去。 16 那撒在石头地上的,就是人听了道,立刻欢喜领受, 17 但他心里没有根,不过是暂时的,及至为道遭了患难,或是受了逼迫,立刻就跌倒了。 18 还有那撒在荆棘里的,就是人听了道, 19 后来有世上的思虑、钱财的迷惑和别样的私欲进来,把道挤住了,就不能结实。 20 那撒在好地上的,就是人听道又领受,并且结实,有三十倍的,有六十倍的,有一百倍的。”
21 耶稣又对他们说:“人拿灯来,岂是要放在斗底下、床底下,不放在灯台上吗? 22 因为掩藏的事没有不显出来的,隐瞒的事没有不露出来的。 23 有耳可听的,就应当听!” 24 又说:“你们所听的要留心。你们用什么量器量给人,也必用什么量器量给你们,并且要多给你们。 25 因为有的,还要给他;没有的,连他所有的也要夺去。”
26 又说:“神的国如同人把种撒在地上, 27 黑夜睡觉,白日起来,这种就发芽渐长,那人却不晓得如何这样。 28 地生五谷是出于自然的,先发苗,后长穗,再后穗上结成饱满的子粒。 29 谷既熟了,就用镰刀去割,因为收成的时候到了。”
芥菜种的比喻
30 又说:“神的国,我们可用什么比较呢?可用什么比喻表明呢? 31 好像一粒芥菜种,种在地里的时候,虽比地上的百种都小, 32 但种上以后,就长起来,比各样的菜都大,又长出大枝来,甚至天上的飞鸟可以宿在它的荫下。”
33 耶稣用许多这样的比喻,照他们所能听的,对他们讲道。 34 若不用比喻,就不对他们讲;没有人的时候,就把一切的道讲给门徒听。
平静风和海
35 当那天晚上,耶稣对门徒说:“我们渡到那边去吧。” 36 门徒离开众人,耶稣仍在船上,他们就把他一同带去;也有别的船和他同行。 37 忽然起了暴风,波浪打入船内,甚至船要满了水。 38 耶稣在船尾上枕着枕头睡觉。门徒叫醒了他,说:“夫子!我们丧命,你不顾吗?” 39 耶稣醒了,斥责风,向海说:“住了吧!静了吧!”风就止住,大大地平静了。 40 耶稣对他们说:“为什么胆怯?你们还没有信心吗?” 41 他们就大大地惧怕,彼此说:“这到底是谁?连风和海也听从他了!”
鬼入猪群
5 他们来到海那边格拉森人的地方。 2 耶稣一下船,就有一个被污鬼附着的人从坟茔里出来迎着他。 3 那人常住在坟茔里,没有人能捆住他,就是用铁链也不能。 4 因为人屡次用脚镣和铁链捆锁他,铁链竟被他挣断了,脚镣也被他弄碎了。总没有人能制伏他。 5 他昼夜常在坟茔里和山中喊叫,又用石头砍自己。 6 他远远地看见耶稣,就跑过去拜他, 7 大声呼叫说:“至高神的儿子耶稣,我与你有什么相干?我指着神恳求你,不要叫我受苦!” 8 是因耶稣曾吩咐他说:“污鬼啊,从这人身上出来吧!” 9 耶稣问他说:“你名叫什么?”回答说:“我名叫‘群’,因为我们多的缘故。” 10 就再三地求耶稣,不要叫他们离开那地方。 11 在那里山坡上,有一大群猪吃食。 12 鬼就央求耶稣,说:“求你打发我们往猪群里,附着猪去。” 13 耶稣准了他们,污鬼就出来,进入猪里去。于是那群猪闯下山崖,投在海里淹死了。猪的数目约有二千。 14 放猪的就逃跑了,去告诉城里和乡下的人。众人就来,要看是什么事。 15 他们来到耶稣那里,看见那被鬼附着的人,就是从前被群鬼所附的,坐着,穿上衣服,心里明白过来,他们就害怕。 16 看见这事的,便将鬼附之人所遇见的和那群猪的事都告诉了众人。 17 众人就央求耶稣离开他们的境界。 18 耶稣上船的时候,那从前被鬼附着的人恳求和耶稣同在。 19 耶稣不许,却对他说:“你回家去到你的亲属那里,将主为你所做的是何等大的事,是怎样怜悯你,都告诉他们。” 20 那人就走了,在低加波利传扬耶稣为他做了何等大的事,众人就都稀奇。
21 耶稣坐船又渡到那边去,就有许多人到他那里聚集,他正在海边上。 22 有一个管会堂的人,名叫睚鲁,来见耶稣,就俯伏在他脚前, 23 再三地求他,说:“我的小女儿快要死了,求你去按手在她身上,使她痊愈,得以活了。” 24 耶稣就和他同去。有许多人跟随,拥挤他。
医患血漏的女人
25 有一个女人患了十二年的血漏, 26 在好些医生手里受了许多的苦,又花尽了她所有的,一点也不见好,病势反倒更重了。 27 她听见耶稣的事,就从后头来,杂在众人中间,摸耶稣的衣裳, 28 意思说:“我只摸他的衣裳,就必痊愈。” 29 于是她血漏的源头立刻干了,她便觉得身上的灾病好了。 30 耶稣顿时心里觉得有能力从自己身上出去,就在众人中间转过来,说:“谁摸我的衣裳?” 31 门徒对他说:“你看众人拥挤你,还说‘谁摸我’吗?” 32 耶稣周围观看,要见做这事的女人。 33 那女人知道在自己身上所成的事,就恐惧战兢,来俯伏在耶稣跟前,将实情全告诉他。 34 耶稣对她说:“女儿,你的信救了你,平平安安地回去吧!你的灾病痊愈了。”
耶稣叫睚鲁的女儿复活
35 还说话的时候,有人从管会堂的家里来,说:“你的女儿死了,何必还劳动先生呢?” 36 耶稣听见所说的话,就对管会堂的说:“不要怕,只要信!” 37 于是带着彼得、雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰同去,不许别人跟随他。 38 他们来到管会堂的家里,耶稣看见那里乱嚷,并有人大大地哭泣哀号, 39 进到里面就对他们说:“为什么乱嚷哭泣呢?孩子不是死了,是睡着了。” 40 他们就嗤笑耶稣。耶稣把他们都撵出去,就带着孩子的父母和跟随的人进了孩子所在的地方, 41 就拉着孩子的手,对她说:“大利大,古米!”(翻出来就是说:“闺女,我吩咐你起来!”) 42 那闺女立时起来走,他们就大大地惊奇;闺女已经十二岁了。 43 耶稣切切地嘱咐他们,不要叫人知道这事,又吩咐给她东西吃。
拿撒勒人厌弃耶稣
6 耶稣离开那里,来到自己的家乡,门徒也跟从他。 2 到了安息日,他在会堂里教训人。众人听见就甚稀奇,说:“这人从哪里有这些事呢?所赐给他的是什么智慧?他手所做的是何等的异能呢? 3 这不是那木匠吗?不是马利亚的儿子雅各、约西、犹大、西门的长兄吗?他妹妹们不也是在我们这里吗?”他们就厌弃他[c]。 4 耶稣对他们说:“大凡先知,除了本地、亲属、本家之外,没有不被人尊敬的。” 5 耶稣就在那里不得行什么异能,不过按手在几个病人身上,治好他们。 6 他也诧异他们不信,就往周围乡村教训人去了。
耶稣差遣十二门徒
7 耶稣叫了十二个门徒来,差遣他们两个两个地出去,也赐给他们权柄制伏污鬼, 8 并且嘱咐他们:“行路的时候不要带食物和口袋,腰袋里也不要带钱,除了拐杖以外,什么都不要带; 9 只要穿鞋,也不要穿两件褂子。” 10 又对他们说:“你们无论到何处,进了人的家,就住在那里,直到离开那地方。 11 何处的人不接待你们,不听你们,你们离开那里的时候,就把脚上的尘土跺下去,对他们作见证。” 12 门徒就出去,传道叫人悔改, 13 又赶出许多的鬼,用油抹了许多病人,治好他们。
约翰责备希律被斩
14 耶稣的名声传扬出来。希律王听见了,就说:“施洗的约翰从死里复活了,所以这些异能由他里面发出来。” 15 但别人说是以利亚,又有人说是先知,正像先知中的一位。 16 希律听见却说:“是我所斩的约翰,他复活了。” 17 先是希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故,差人去拿住约翰,锁在监里,因为希律已经娶了那妇人。 18 约翰曾对希律说:“你娶你兄弟的妻子是不合理的。” 19 于是希罗底怀恨他,想要杀他,只是不能。 20 因为希律知道约翰是义人,是圣人,所以敬畏他,保护他,听他讲论就多照着行[d],并且乐意听他。 21 有一天,恰巧是希律的生日,希律摆设筵席,请了大臣和千夫长并加利利做首领的。 22 希罗底的女儿进来跳舞,使希律和同席的人都欢喜。王就对女子说:“你随意向我求什么,我必给你。” 23 又对她起誓说:“随你向我求什么,就是我国的一半,我也必给你!” 24 她就出去对她母亲说:“我可以求什么呢?”她母亲说:“施洗约翰的头!” 25 她就急忙进去见王,求他说:“我愿王立时把施洗约翰的头放在盘子里给我。” 26 王就甚忧愁,但因他所起的誓,又因同席的人,就不肯推辞, 27 随即差一个护卫兵,吩咐拿约翰的头来。护卫兵就去,在监里斩了约翰, 28 把头放在盘子里,拿来给女子,女子就给她母亲。 29 约翰的门徒听见了,就来把他的尸首领去,葬在坟墓里。
无牧的羊
30 使徒聚集到耶稣那里,将一切所做的事、所传的道全告诉他。 31 他就说:“你们来,同我暗暗地到旷野地方去歇一歇。”这是因为来往的人多,他们连吃饭也没有工夫。 32 他们就坐船,暗暗地往旷野地方去。 33 众人看见他们去,有许多认识他们的,就从各城步行,一同跑到那里,比他们先赶到了。 34 耶稣出来,见有许多的人,就怜悯他们,因为他们如同羊没有牧人一般,于是开口教训他们许多道理。 35 天已经晚了,门徒进前来说:“这是野地,天已经晚了, 36 请叫众人散开,他们好往四面乡村里去自己买什么吃。”
给五千人吃饱
37 耶稣回答说:“你们给他们吃吧!”门徒说:“我们可以去买二十两银子的饼给他们吃吗?” 38 耶稣说:“你们有多少饼,可以去看看。”他们知道了,就说:“五个饼,两条鱼。” 39 耶稣吩咐他们,叫众人一帮一帮地坐在青草地上。 40 众人就一排一排地坐下,有一百一排的,有五十一排的。 41 耶稣拿着这五个饼、两条鱼,望着天祝福,掰开饼,递给门徒,摆在众人面前,也把那两条鱼分给众人。 42 他们都吃,并且吃饱了。 43 门徒就把碎饼碎鱼收拾起来,装满了十二个篮子。 44 吃饼的男人共有五千。
耶稣履海
45 耶稣随即催门徒上船,先渡到那边伯赛大去,等他叫众人散开。 46 他既辞别了他们,就往山上去祷告。 47 到了晚上,船在海中,耶稣独自在岸上, 48 看见门徒因风不顺摇橹甚苦。夜里约有四更天,就在海面上走,往他们那里去,意思要走过他们去。 49 但门徒看见他在海面上走,以为是鬼怪,就喊叫起来, 50 因为他们都看见了他,且甚惊慌。耶稣连忙对他们说:“你们放心!是我,不要怕!” 51 于是到他们那里,上了船,风就住了。他们心里十分惊奇, 52 这是因为他们不明白那分饼的事,心里还是愚顽。
53 既渡过去,来到革尼撒勒地方,就靠了岸。 54 一下船,众人认得是耶稣, 55 就跑遍那一带地方,听见他在何处,便将有病的人用褥子抬到那里。 56 凡耶稣所到的地方,或村中、或城里、或乡间,他们都将病人放在街市上,求耶稣只容他们摸他的衣裳穗子。凡摸着的人就都好了。
礼上的污秽
7 有法利赛人和几个文士从耶路撒冷来,到耶稣那里聚集。 2 他们曾看见他的门徒中有人用俗手,就是没有洗的手吃饭。 3 (原来法利赛人和犹太人都拘守古人的遗传,若不仔细洗手就不吃饭; 4 从市上来,若不洗浴也不吃饭;还有好些别的规矩,他们历代拘守,就是洗杯、罐、铜器等物。) 5 法利赛人和文士问他说:“你的门徒为什么不照古人的遗传,用俗手吃饭呢?” 6 耶稣说:“以赛亚指着你们假冒为善之人所说的预言是不错的,如经上说:‘这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我,心却远离我。 7 他们将人的吩咐当做道理教导人,所以拜我也是枉然。’ 8 你们是离弃神的诫命,拘守人的遗传。” 9 又说:“你们诚然是废弃神的诫命,要守自己的遗传。 10 摩西说:‘当孝敬父母’,又说:‘咒骂父母的,必治死他。’ 11 你们倒说,人若对父母说:‘我所当奉给你的,已经做了各耳板’(“各耳板”就是“供献”的意思), 12 以后你们就不容他再奉养父母。 13 这就是你们承接遗传,废了神的道!你们还做许多这样的事。”
心里的污秽
14 耶稣又叫众人来,对他们说:“你们都要听我的话,也要明白。 15 从外面进去的不能污秽人,唯有从里面出来的乃能污秽人。[e]” 17 耶稣离开众人,进了屋子,门徒就问他这比喻的意思。 18 耶稣对他们说:“你们也是这样不明白吗?岂不晓得凡从外面进入的,不能污秽人? 19 因为不是入他的心,乃是入他的肚腹,又落到茅厕里。”这是说,各样的食物都是洁净的。 20 又说:“从人里面出来的,那才能污秽人。 21 因为从里面,就是从人心里发出恶念、苟合、 22 偷盗、凶杀、奸淫、贪婪、邪恶、诡诈、淫荡、嫉妒、谤讟、骄傲、狂妄, 23 这一切的恶都是从里面出来,且能污秽人。”
妇人信心的赏赐
24 耶稣从那里起身,往推罗、西顿的境内去。进了一家,不愿意人知道,却隐藏不住。 25 当下有一个妇人,她的小女儿被污鬼附着,听见耶稣的事,就来俯伏在他脚前。 26 这妇人是希腊人,属叙利非尼基族。她求耶稣赶出那鬼离开她的女儿。 27 耶稣对她说:“让儿女们先吃饱,不好拿儿女的饼丢给狗吃。” 28 妇人回答说:“主啊,不错,但是狗在桌子底下也吃孩子们的碎渣儿!” 29 耶稣对她说:“因这句话,你回去吧!鬼已经离开你的女儿了。” 30 她就回家去,见小孩子躺在床上,鬼已经出去了。
医治耳聋舌结的人
31 耶稣又离了推罗的境界,经过西顿,就从低加波利境内来到加利利海。 32 有人带着一个耳聋舌结的人来见耶稣,求他按手在他身上。 33 耶稣领他离开众人到一边去,就用指头探他的耳朵,吐唾沫抹他的舌头, 34 望天叹息,对他说:“以法大!”就是说:“开了吧!” 35 他的耳朵就开了,舌结也解了,说话也清楚了。 36 耶稣嘱咐他们不要告诉人,但他越发嘱咐,他们越发传扬开了。 37 众人分外稀奇,说:“他所做的事都好,他连聋子也叫他们听见,哑巴也叫他们说话!”
给四千人吃饱
8 那时,又有许多人聚集,并没有什么吃的。耶稣叫门徒来,说: 2 “我怜悯这众人,因为他们同我在这里已经三天,也没有吃的了。 3 我若打发他们饿着回家,就必在路上困乏,因为其中有从远处来的。” 4 门徒回答说:“在这野地,从哪里能得饼叫这些人吃饱呢?” 5 耶稣问他们说:“你们有多少饼?”他们说:“七个。” 6 他吩咐众人坐在地上,就拿着这七个饼祝谢了,掰开,递给门徒,叫他们摆开,门徒就摆在众人面前。 7 又有几条小鱼,耶稣祝了福,就吩咐也摆在众人面前。 8 众人都吃,并且吃饱了,收拾剩下的零碎,有七筐子。 9 人数约有四千。耶稣打发他们走了, 10 随即同门徒上船,来到大玛努他境内。
求主显神迹
11 法利赛人出来盘问耶稣,求他从天上显个神迹给他们看,想要试探他。 12 耶稣心里深深地叹息说:“这世代为什么求神迹呢?我实在告诉你们:没有神迹给这世代看!” 13 他就离开他们,又上船往海那边去了。
防备法利赛人和希律的酵
14 门徒忘了带饼,在船上除了一个饼,没有别的食物。 15 耶稣嘱咐他们说:“你们要谨慎,防备法利赛人的酵和希律的酵。” 16 他们彼此议论说:“这是因为我们没有饼吧?” 17 耶稣看出来,就说:“你们为什么因为没有饼就议论呢?你们还不醒悟,还不明白吗?你们的心还是愚顽吗? 18 你们有眼睛看不见吗?有耳朵听不见吗?也不记得吗? 19 我掰开那五个饼分给五千人,你们收拾的零碎装满了多少篮子呢?”他们说:“十二个。” 20 “又掰开那七个饼分给四千人,你们收拾的零碎装满了多少筐子呢?”他们说:“七个。” 21 耶稣说:“你们还是不明白吗?”
吐唾沫治好瞎子
22 他们来到伯赛大,有人带一个瞎子来,求耶稣摸他。 23 耶稣拉着瞎子的手,领他到村外,就吐唾沫在他眼睛上,按手在他身上,问他说:“你看见什么了?” 24 他就抬头一看,说:“我看见人了,他们好像树木,并且行走。” 25 随后又按手在他眼睛上,他定睛一看,就复了原,样样都看得清楚了。 26 耶稣打发他回家,说:“连这村子你也不要进去。”
认耶稣为基督
27 耶稣和门徒出去,往恺撒利亚-腓立比的村庄去。在路上问门徒说:“人说我是谁?” 28 他们说:“有人说是施洗的约翰,有人说是以利亚,又有人说是先知里的一位。” 29 又问他们说:“你们说我是谁?”彼得回答说:“你是基督。”
预言受难复活降临
30 耶稣就禁戒他们,不要告诉人。 31 从此,他教训他们说:“人子必须受许多的苦,被长老、祭司长和文士弃绝,并且被杀,过三天复活。” 32 耶稣明明地说这话,彼得就拉着他,劝他。 33 耶稣转过来,看着门徒,就责备彼得,说:“撒旦,退我后边去吧!因为你不体贴神的意思,只体贴人的意思。”
当背十架跟从主
34 于是叫众人和门徒来,对他们说:“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,背起他的十字架来跟从我。 35 因为凡要救自己生命[f]的,必丧掉生命;凡为我和福音丧掉生命的,必救了生命。 36 人就是赚得全世界,赔上自己的生命,有什么益处呢? 37 人还能拿什么换生命呢? 38 凡在这淫乱罪恶的世代,把我和我的道当做可耻的,人子在他父的荣耀里同圣天使降临的时候,也要把那人当做可耻的。”
9 耶稣又对他们说:“我实在告诉你们:站在这里的,有人在没尝死味以前,必要看见神的国大有能力临到。”
改变形象
2 过了六天,耶稣带着彼得、雅各、约翰暗暗地上了高山,就在他们面前变了形象, 3 衣服放光,极其洁白,地上漂布的没有一个能漂得那样白。 4 忽然,有以利亚同摩西向他们显现,并且和耶稣说话。 5 彼得对耶稣说:“拉比[g],我们在这里真好!可以搭三座棚:一座为你,一座为摩西,一座为以利亚。” 6 彼得不知道说什么才好,因为他们甚是惧怕。 7 有一朵云彩来遮盖他们,也有声音从云彩里出来说:“这是我的爱子,你们要听他!” 8 门徒忽然周围一看,不再见一人,只见耶稣同他们在那里。
以约翰譬以利亚
9 下山的时候,耶稣嘱咐他们说:“人子还没有从死里复活,你们不要将所看见的告诉人。” 10 门徒将这话存记在心,彼此议论从死里复活是什么意思。 11 他们就问耶稣说:“文士为什么说以利亚必须先来?” 12 耶稣说:“以利亚固然先来复兴万事。经上不是指着人子说,他要受许多的苦、被人轻慢呢? 13 我告诉你们:以利亚已经来了,他们也任意待他,正如经上所指着他的话。”
害癫痫病的孩子
14 耶稣到了门徒那里,看见有许多人围着他们,又有文士和他们辩论。 15 众人一见耶稣,都甚稀奇,就跑上去问他的安。 16 耶稣问他们说:“你们和他们辩论的是什么?” 17 众人中间有一个人回答说:“夫子,我带了我的儿子到你这里来,他被哑巴鬼附着。 18 无论在哪里,鬼捉弄他,把他摔倒,他就口中流沫,咬牙切齿,身体枯干。我请过你的门徒把鬼赶出去,他们却是不能。” 19 耶稣说:“唉!不信的世代啊,我在你们这里要到几时呢?我忍耐你们要到几时呢?把他带到我这里来吧!” 20 他们就带了他来。他一见耶稣,鬼便叫他重重地抽风,倒在地上翻来覆去,口中流沫。 21 耶稣问他父亲说:“他得这病有多少日子呢?”回答说:“从小的时候。 22 鬼屡次把他扔在火里、水里,要灭他。你若能做什么,求你怜悯我们,帮助我们!”
在信的人凡事都能
23 耶稣对他说:“你若能信,在信的人,凡事都能。” 24 孩子的父亲立时喊着说[h]:“我信!但我信不足,求主帮助!” 25 耶稣看见众人都跑上来,就斥责那污鬼,说:“你这聋哑的鬼,我吩咐你从他里头出来,再不要进去!” 26 那鬼喊叫,使孩子大大地抽了一阵风,就出来了。孩子好像死了一般,以致众人多半说:“他是死了。” 27 但耶稣拉着他的手,扶他起来,他就站起来了。 28 耶稣进了屋子,门徒就暗暗地问他说:“我们为什么不能赶出他去呢?” 29 耶稣说:“非用祷告[i],这一类的鬼总不能出来[j]。”
预言受难
30 他们离开那地方,经过加利利,耶稣不愿意人知道。 31 于是教训门徒,说:“人子将要被交在人手里,他们要杀害他,被杀以后过三天他要复活。” 32 门徒却不明白这话,又不敢问他。
争论谁为大
33 他们来到迦百农,耶稣在屋里问门徒说:“你们在路上议论的是什么?” 34 门徒不作声,因为他们在路上彼此争论谁为大。 35 耶稣坐下,叫十二个门徒来,说:“若有人愿意做首先的,他必做众人末后的,做众人的用人。” 36 于是领过一个小孩子来,叫他站在门徒中间,又抱起他来,对他们说: 37 “凡为我名接待一个像这小孩子的,就是接待我;凡接待我的,不是接待我,乃是接待那差我来的。”
奉主名的不易谤主
38 约翰对耶稣说:“夫子,我们看见一个人奉你的名赶鬼,我们就禁止他,因为他不跟从我们。” 39 耶稣说:“不要禁止他,因为没有人奉我名行异能,反倒轻易毁谤我。 40 不敌挡我们的,就是帮助我们的。 41 凡因你们是属基督,给你们一杯水喝的,我实在告诉你们:他不能不得赏赐。 42 凡使这信我的一个小子跌倒的,倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上,扔在海里。 43 倘若你一只手叫你跌倒,就把它砍下来! 44 你缺了肢体进入永生,强如有两只手落到地狱,入那不灭的火里去。 45 倘若你一只脚叫你跌倒,就把它砍下来! 46 你瘸腿进入永生,强如有两只脚被丢在地狱里。 47 倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒,就去掉它!你只有一只眼进入神的国,强如有两只眼被丢在地狱里。 48 在那里,虫是不死的,火是不灭的。 49 因为必用火当盐腌各人[k]。 50 盐本是好的,若失了味,可用什么叫它再咸呢?你们里头应当有盐,彼此和睦。”
辩论休妻
10 耶稣从那里起身,来到犹太的境界并约旦河外。众人又聚集到他那里,他又照常教训他们。 2 有法利赛人来问他说:“人休妻可以不可以?”意思要试探他。 3 耶稣回答说:“摩西吩咐你们的是什么?” 4 他们说:“摩西许人写了休书便可以休妻。” 5 耶稣说:“摩西因为你们的心硬,所以写这条例给你们。 6 但从起初创造的时候,神造人是‘造男造女’, 7 ‘因此,人要离开父母,与妻子联合,二人成为一体。’ 8 既然如此,夫妻不再是两个人,乃是一体的了。 9 所以,神配合的,人不可分开。” 10 到了屋里,门徒就问他这事。 11 耶稣对他们说:“凡休妻另娶的,就是犯奸淫,辜负他的妻子; 12 妻子若离弃丈夫另嫁,也是犯奸淫了。”
耶稣为小孩祝福
13 有人带着小孩子来见耶稣,要耶稣摸他们,门徒便责备那些人。 14 耶稣看见就恼怒,对门徒说:“让小孩子到我这里来,不要禁止他们,因为在神国的正是这样的人。 15 我实在告诉你们:凡要承受神国的,若不像小孩子,断不能进去。” 16 于是抱着小孩子,给他们按手,为他们祝福。
当积财宝在天上
17 耶稣出来行路的时候,有一个人跑来跪在他面前,问他说:“良善的夫子,我当做什么事才可以承受永生?” 18 耶稣对他说:“你为什么称我是良善的?除了神一位之外,再没有良善的。 19 诫命你是晓得的:不可杀人,不可奸淫,不可偷盗,不可作假见证,不可亏负人,当孝敬父母。” 20 他对耶稣说:“夫子,这一切我从小都遵守了。” 21 耶稣看着他,就爱他,对他说:“你还缺少一件:去变卖你所有的,分给穷人,就必有财宝在天上;你还要来跟从我。” 22 他听见这话,脸上就变了色,忧忧愁愁地走了,因为他的产业很多。
靠钱财的难进天国
23 耶稣周围一看,对门徒说:“有钱财的人进神的国是何等地难哪!” 24 门徒稀奇他的话。耶稣又对他们说:“小子,倚靠钱财的人进神的国是何等地难哪! 25 骆驼穿过针的眼,比财主进神的国还容易呢!” 26 门徒就分外稀奇,对他说:“这样谁能得救呢?” 27 耶稣看着他们说:“在人是不能,在神却不然,因为神凡事都能。”
跟从主的赏赐
28 彼得就对他说:“看哪,我们已经撇下所有的跟从你了!” 29 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们:人为我和福音撇下房屋或是弟兄、姐妹、父母、儿女、田地, 30 没有不在今世得百倍的,就是房屋、弟兄、姐妹、母亲、儿女、田地,并且要受逼迫;在来世必得永生。 31 然而,有许多在前的将要在后,在后的将要在前。”
32 他们行路上耶路撒冷去。耶稣在前头走,门徒就稀奇,跟从的人也害怕。耶稣又叫过十二个门徒来,把自己将要遭遇的事告诉他们说: 33 “看哪,我们上耶路撒冷去,人子将要被交给祭司长和文士,他们要定他死罪,交给外邦人; 34 他们要戏弄他,吐唾沫在他脸上,鞭打他,杀害他;过了三天,他要复活。”
35 西庇太的儿子雅各、约翰进前来,对耶稣说:“夫子,我们无论求你什么,愿你给我们做。” 36 耶稣说:“要我给你们做什么?” 37 他们说:“赐我们在你的荣耀里,一个坐在你右边,一个坐在你左边。” 38 耶稣说:“你们不知道所求的是什么。我所喝的杯,你们能喝吗?我所受的洗,你们能受吗?” 39 他们说:“我们能。”耶稣说:“我所喝的杯,你们也要喝;我所受的洗,你们也要受; 40 只是坐在我的左右,不是我可以赐的,乃是为谁预备的,就赐给谁。” 41 那十个门徒听见,就恼怒雅各、约翰。
谁愿为首必做仆人
42 耶稣叫他们来,对他们说:“你们知道,外邦人有尊为君王的治理他们,有大臣操权管束他们。 43 只是在你们中间不是这样,你们中间谁愿为大,就必做你们的用人; 44 在你们中间谁愿为首,就必做众人的仆人。 45 因为人子来并不是要受人的服侍,乃是要服侍人,并且要舍命做多人的赎价。”
瞎子巴底买得医治
46 到了耶利哥,耶稣同门徒并许多人出耶利哥的时候,有一个讨饭的瞎子,是底买的儿子巴底买,坐在路旁。 47 他听见是拿撒勒的耶稣,就喊着说:“大卫的子孙耶稣啊,可怜我吧!” 48 有许多人责备他,不许他作声,他却越发大声喊着说:“大卫的子孙哪,可怜我吧!” 49 耶稣就站住说:“叫过他来。”他们就叫那瞎子,对他说:“放心,起来,他叫你啦!” 50 瞎子就丢下衣服,跳起来,走到耶稣那里。 51 耶稣说:“要我为你做什么?”瞎子说:“拉波尼[l],我要能看见!” 52 耶稣说:“你去吧!你的信救了你了。”瞎子立刻看见了,就在路上跟随耶稣。
主骑驴进耶路撒冷
11 耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其和伯大尼,在橄榄山那里,耶稣就打发两个门徒, 2 对他们说:“你们往对面村子里去,一进去的时候,必看见一匹驴驹拴在那里,是从来没有人骑过的,可以解开牵来。 3 若有人对你们说:‘为什么做这事?’你们就说:‘主要用它。’那人必立时让你们牵来。” 4 他们去了,便看见一匹驴驹拴在门外街道上,就把它解开。 5 在那里站着的人有几个说:“你们解驴驹做什么?” 6 门徒照着耶稣所说的回答,那些人就任凭他们牵去了。 7 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,耶稣就骑上。 8 有许多人把衣服铺在路上,也有人把田间的树枝砍下来铺在路上。 9 前行后随的人都喊着说:“和散那[m]!奉主名来的是应当称颂的! 10 那将要来的我祖大卫之国是应当称颂的!高高在上和散那!” 11 耶稣进了耶路撒冷,入了圣殿,周围看了各样物件。天色已晚,就和十二个门徒出城,往伯大尼去了。
无花果树被咒诅
12 第二天,他们从伯大尼出来,耶稣饿了。远远地看见一棵无花果树,树上有叶子,就往那里去,或者在树上可以找着什么。 13 到了树下,竟找不着什么,不过有叶子,因为不是收无花果的时候。 14 耶稣就对树说:“从今以后,永没有人吃你的果子!”他的门徒也听见了。
洁净圣殿
15 他们来到耶路撒冷。耶稣进入圣殿,赶出殿里做买卖的人,推倒兑换银钱之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子, 16 也不许人拿着器具从殿里经过。 17 便教训他们,说:“经上不是记着说‘我的殿必称为万国祷告的殿’吗?你们倒使它成为贼窝了!” 18 祭司长和文士听见这话,就想法子要除灭耶稣,却又怕他,因为众人都稀奇他的教训。
19 每天晚上,耶稣出城去。
信心的能力
20 早晨,他们从那里经过,看见无花果树连根都枯干了。 21 彼得想起耶稣的话来,就对他说:“拉比,请看,你所咒诅的无花果树已经枯干了!” 22 耶稣回答说:“你们当信服神。 23 我实在告诉你们:无论何人对这座山说:‘你挪开此地,投在海里!’,他若心里不疑惑,只信他所说的必成,就必给他成了。 24 所以我告诉你们,凡你们祷告祈求的,无论是什么,只要信是得着的,就必得着。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪你们,就当饶恕他,好叫你们在天上的父也饶恕你们的过犯。 26 你们若不饶恕人,你们在天上的父也不饶恕你们的过犯。[n]”
辩驳耶稣的权柄
27 他们又来到耶路撒冷。耶稣在殿里行走的时候,祭司长和文士并长老进前来, 28 问他说:“你仗着什么权柄做这些事?给你这权柄的是谁呢?” 29 耶稣对他们说:“我要问你们一句话,你们回答我,我就告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。 30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的,是从人间来的呢?你们可以回答我。” 31 他们彼此商议说:“我们若说从天上来,他必说:‘这样,你们为什么不信他呢?’ 32 若说从人间来,却又怕百姓,因为众人真以约翰为先知。” 33 于是回答耶稣说:“我们不知道。”耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。”

Mark 1-6
New International Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah,[a] the Son of God,[b](B) 2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”[c](C)—
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[d](D)
4 And so John the Baptist(E) appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance(F) for the forgiveness of sins.(G) 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist,(H) and he ate locusts(I) and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.(J) 8 I baptize you with[e] water, but he will baptize you with[f] the Holy Spirit.”(K)
The Baptism and Testing of Jesus(L)(M)
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth(N) in Galilee and was baptized by John(O) in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.(P) 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,(Q) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”(R)
12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, 13 and he was in the wilderness forty days,(S) being tempted[g] by Satan.(T) He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
Jesus Announces the Good News(U)
14 After John(V) was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee,(W) proclaiming the good news of God.(X) 15 “The time has come,”(Y) he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe(Z) the good news!”(AA)
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 18 At once they left their nets and followed him.(AB)
19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(AC)
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.(AD) 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.(AE) 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us,(AF) Jesus of Nazareth?(AG) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”(AH)
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”(AI) 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.(AJ)
27 The people were all so amazed(AK) that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region(AL) of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many(AM)(AN)
29 As soon as they left the synagogue,(AO) they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up.(AP) The fever left her and she began to wait on them.
32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.(AQ) 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.(AR) He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.(AS)
Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place(AT)
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.(AU) 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”(AV) 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues(AW) and driving out demons.(AX)
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(AY)
40 A man with leprosy[h] came to him and begged him on his knees,(AZ) “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 Jesus was indignant.[i] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
43 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44 “See that you don’t tell this to anyone.(BA) But go, show yourself to the priest(BB) and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing,(BC) as a testimony to them.” 45 Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places.(BD) Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.(BE)
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(BF)
2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers(BG) that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man,(BH) carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”(BI)
6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(BJ)
8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(BK) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God,(BL) saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”(BM)
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(BN)
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him,(BO) and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(BP) Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees(BQ) saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(BR)
17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(BS)
Jesus Questioned About Fasting(BT)
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.(BU) Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”
19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them,(BV) and on that day they will fast.
21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(BW)(BX)
23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.(BY) 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(BZ)
25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest,(CA) he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat.(CB) And he also gave some to his companions.”(CC)
27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man,(CD) not man for the Sabbath.(CE) 28 So the Son of Man(CF) is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
3 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue,(CG) and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(CH) to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.(CI) 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”
4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians(CJ) how they might kill Jesus.(CK)
Crowds Follow Jesus(CL)
7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.(CM) 8 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.(CN) 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many,(CO) so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.(CP) 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”(CQ) 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.(CR)
Jesus Appoints the Twelve(CS)
13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.(CT) 14 He appointed twelve[j](CU) that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons.(CV) 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter),(CW) 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Jesus Accused by His Family and by Teachers of the Law(CX)(CY)
20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered,(CZ) so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.(DA) 21 When his family[k] heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”(DB)
22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem(DC) said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!(DD) By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”(DE)
23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables:(DF) “How can Satan(DG) drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.(DH) 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”(DI)
30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived.(DJ) Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
The Parable of the Sower(DK)(DL)
4 Again Jesus began to teach by the lake.(DM) The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. 2 He taught them many things by parables,(DN) and in his teaching said: 3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.(DO) 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”(DP)
9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(DQ)
10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God(DR) has been given to you. But to those on the outside(DS) everything is said in parables 12 so that,
“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’[l]”(DT)
13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? 14 The farmer sows the word.(DU) 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan(DV) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth(DW) and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
A Lamp on a Stand
21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?(DX) 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.(DY) 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”(DZ)
24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.(EA) 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”(EB)
The Parable of the Growing Seed
26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like.(EC) A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”(ED)
The Parable of the Mustard Seed(EE)
30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,(EF) or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.(EG) 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable.(EH) But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
Jesus Calms the Storm(EI)
35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.(EJ) There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”(EK)
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(EL)(EM)
5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[m] 2 When Jesus got out of the boat,(EN) a man with an impure spirit(EO) came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(EP) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(EQ) In God’s name don’t torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,”(ER) he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion(ES) of demons,(ET) sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them(EU) how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[n](EV) how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(EW)
21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake,(EX) a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.(EY) 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders,(EZ) named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on(FA) her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.
A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(FB) for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes,(FC) I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.(FD)
30 At once Jesus realized that power(FE) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(FF) Go in peace(FG) and be freed from your suffering.”
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(FH) “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 Overhearing[o] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.(FI) 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader,(FJ) Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”(FK) 40 But they laughed at him.
After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand(FL) and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).(FM) 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this,(FN) and told them to give her something to eat.
A Prophet Without Honor(FO)
6 Jesus left there and went to his hometown,(FP) accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came,(FQ) he began to teach in the synagogue,(FR) and many who heard him were amazed.(FS)
“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,[p] Judas and Simon?(FT) Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.(FU)
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”(FV) 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on(FW) a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(FX)
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.(FY) 7 Calling the Twelve to him,(FZ) he began to send them out two by two(GA) and gave them authority over impure spirits.(GB)
8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet(GC) as a testimony against them.”
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.(GD) 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil(GE) and healed them.
John the Baptist Beheaded(GF)(GG)
14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,[q] “John the Baptist(GH) has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 Others said, “He is Elijah.”(GI)
And still others claimed, “He is a prophet,(GJ) like one of the prophets of long ago.”(GK)
16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”
17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison.(GL) He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”(GM) 19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man.(GN) When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled[r]; yet he liked to listen to him.
21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet(GO) for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.(GP) 22 When the daughter of[s] Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.
The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.” 23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”(GQ)
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”
“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.
25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
