马太福音 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
安息日的主(A)
12 安息日那天,耶穌從麥田經過;他的門徒餓了,就摘了些麥穗來吃。 2 法利賽人看見了,就對他說:“你看,你的門徒作了安息日不可作的事。” 3 耶穌對他們說:“大衛和跟他在一起的人,在飢餓的時候所作的,你們沒有念過嗎? 4 他不是進了 神的殿,吃了他和跟他在一起的人不可以吃,只有祭司才可以吃的陳設餅嗎? 5 律法書上記著:安息日,祭司在殿裡供職,觸犯了安息日,也不算有罪;你們也沒有念過嗎? 6 我告訴你們,這裡有一位是比聖殿更大的。 7 如果你們明白‘我喜愛憐憫,不喜愛祭祀’這句話的意思,就不會把無罪的定罪了。 8 因為人子是安息日的主。”
治好手枯的人(B)
9 耶穌離開那裡,來到他們的會堂。 10 會堂裡有一個人,他的一隻手枯乾了。有人問耶穌:“在安息日治病,可以嗎?”目的是要控告耶穌。 11 耶穌回答:“你們當中有哪一個,他僅有的一隻羊在安息日跌進坑裡,會不把羊抓住拉上來呢? 12 人比羊貴重得多了!所以,在安息日行善是可以的。” 13 於是對那人說:“伸出手來!”他把手一伸,就復原了,好像另一隻手一樣。 14 法利賽人出去,商議怎樣對付耶穌,好殺掉他。
神揀選的僕人
15 耶穌知道了,就離開那裡。有很多人跟隨他,他醫好他們所有的病人, 16 又囑咐他們不可替他張揚。 17 這就應驗了以賽亞先知所說的:
18 “看哪!我所揀選的僕人,
我所愛,心裡所喜悅的;
我要把我的靈賜給他,
他必向萬國宣揚公理。
19 他不爭吵,也不喧嚷,
人在街上聽不見他的聲音。
20 壓傷的蘆葦,他不折斷,
將殘的燈火,他不吹滅;
直到他施行公理,使公理得勝。
21 萬民都要寄望於他的名。”
耶穌靠 神的靈趕鬼(C)
22 有人帶了一個被鬼附著、又瞎又啞的人到耶穌那裡。耶穌醫好了他,那啞巴就能說話,也能看見了。 23 群眾都很驚奇,說:“難道他就是大衛的子孫?” 24 法利賽人聽見了,說:“這個人趕鬼,只不過是靠鬼王別西卜罷了。” 25 耶穌知道他們的心思,就對他們說:“如果一個國家自相紛爭,就必定荒涼;一城一家自相紛爭,必站立不住。 26 如果撒但趕逐撒但,就會自相紛爭。那麼,他的國怎能站立得住呢? 27 我若靠別西卜趕鬼,你們的子孫又靠誰趕鬼呢?這樣,他們就要斷定你們的不是。 28 我若靠 神的靈趕鬼, 神的國就已經臨到你們了。 29 如果不先把壯漢綁起來,怎能進到他的家裡,搶奪財物呢?如果綁起來了,就可以搶劫他的家了。 30 不站在我這一邊的就是反對我的,不跟我一起收聚的,就是分散的。 31 因此,我告訴你們,人的一切罪和褻瀆的話,都可以赦免;可是,褻瀆聖靈就得不著赦免。 32 無論誰說話得罪了人子,還可以赦免;但說話得罪了聖靈的,今生來世都得不著赦免。
種好樹結好果子(D)
33 “你們種好樹就結好果子,種壞樹就結壞果子;憑著果子就能認出樹來。 34 毒蛇所生的啊,你們既然是邪惡的,怎能說出良善的話?因為心中所充滿的,口裡就說出來。 35 良善的人從他良善的心(“心”原文作“庫房”)發出良善,邪惡的人從他邪惡的心(“心”原文作“庫房”)發出邪惡。 36 我告訴你們,人所說的閒話,在審判的日子,句句都要供出來, 37 因為你要照你的話被稱為義,或定為有罪。”
約拿的神蹟(E)
38 當時,有一些經學家和法利賽人對耶穌說:“老師,我們想請你顯個神蹟看看。” 39 但耶穌說:“邪惡和淫亂的世代尋求神蹟,除了約拿先知的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給你們了。 40 約拿怎樣三日三夜在大魚的腹中,人子也要照樣三日三夜在地裡。 41 審判的時候,尼尼微人要和這個世代一同起來,定這個世代的罪,因為他們聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。你看,這裡有一位是比約拿更大的。 42 審判的時候,南方的女王要和這個世代一同起來,定這個世代的罪,因為她從地極來到,要聽所羅門智慧的話。你看,這裡有一位是比所羅門更大的。
污靈去而復返的教訓(F)
43 “有一個污靈離開了一個人,走遍乾旱之地,尋找棲身的地方,卻沒有找到。 44 他就說:‘我要回到我從前離開了的那房子。’到了之後,看見裡面空著,已經打掃乾淨,粉飾好了, 45 他就去帶了另外七個比自己更惡的污靈來,一齊進去住在那裡;那人後來的情況,比以前更壞了。這邪惡的世代也會這樣。”
誰是耶穌的母親和弟兄(G)
46 耶穌還在對群眾講話的時候,他的母親和弟弟站在外面,要找他講話。 47 有人告訴耶穌:“你的母親和弟弟站在外面,有話要跟你說。” 48 他回答那人:“誰是我的母親?誰是我的弟兄?” 49 他伸手指著門徒說:“你看,我的母親,我的弟兄! 50 凡是遵行我天父旨意的,就是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親了。”
馬太福音 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
安息日的問題
12 那時,耶穌在安息日經過一片麥田。祂的門徒餓了,便隨手搓麥穗吃。 2 法利賽人看見後,對耶穌說:「你看,你的門徒做了在安息日不准做的事!」
3 耶穌回答說:「你們沒有讀過大衛的事蹟嗎?當時他和部下餓了, 4 進入上帝的殿,吃了獻給上帝的供餅。這餅只有祭司才可以吃,大衛和部下是不准吃的。 5 此外律法書又記載,安息日,祭司在聖殿裡觸犯了守安息日的規條也不算有罪。你們沒有讀過嗎? 6 我告訴你們,這裡有一人比聖殿更偉大, 7 如果你們明白『我喜愛憐憫之心,而非祭物』這句經文的意義,就不會冤枉無辜了。 8 因為人子是安息日的主。」
9 耶穌離開那裡,走進會堂, 10 裡面有個人,一隻手是萎縮的。法利賽人企圖找藉口控告耶穌,就問祂:「安息日可不可以醫病呢?」
11 耶穌回答說:「如果你們有一隻羊在安息日掉進坑裡,難道你們不把牠拉上來嗎? 12 人比羊要貴重多了!所以在安息日行善合情合理。」
13 於是,耶穌轉過身來對那人說:「把手伸出來!」那人一伸手,手就復原了,跟另一隻手一樣健康。 14 法利賽人卻走了出去,策劃怎樣除掉耶穌。
上帝的僕人
15 耶穌知道了,就離開那個地方。很多人跟隨祂,耶穌醫好了其中所有患病的人, 16 吩咐他們不要洩露祂的身分。 17 這是要應驗以賽亞先知的話:
18 「看啊!我所揀選、
所眷愛、所喜悅的僕人,
我要將我的靈賜給祂,
祂要向萬邦宣揚正義。
19 祂不爭競,不喧嚷,
街上也聽不見祂的聲音。
20 壓傷的蘆葦,祂不折斷;
將殘的燈火,祂不吹滅;
祂終必使正義得勝。
21 普世都要仰望祂的聖名。」
22 有人帶一個被鬼附身、又瞎又啞的人來見耶穌,耶穌便醫好他,使他能說能看。 23 眾人都很驚奇,就說:「這人會不會是大衛的那個後裔?」 24 法利賽人聽見後卻說:「祂不過是靠鬼王別西卜趕鬼罷了。」
25 耶穌知道他們的心思,就說:「一個國內部自相紛爭,必然滅亡;一座城、一個家內部自相紛爭,必然崩潰。 26 若撒旦驅逐撒旦,就是自相紛爭,牠的國怎能維持呢? 27 若我是靠別西卜趕鬼,你們的子弟又是靠誰趕鬼呢?為此,他們要審判你們。 28 若我是靠上帝的靈趕鬼,就是上帝的國已降臨在你們中間了。
29 「人如何進入壯漢家中搶奪他的財物呢?除非先把那壯漢捆綁起來,才有可能搶劫他的家。
30 「不與我為友就是與我為敵;不助我召集就是故意拆散。 31 所以我告訴你們,一切的罪和褻瀆的話都可以得到赦免,但褻瀆聖靈的罪必得不到赦免。 32 說話得罪人子的,還可以得到赦免;但那些說話冒犯聖靈的,今生永世都得不到赦免。
樹與果
33 「好樹結好果子,壞樹結壞果子,看果子就能知道樹的好壞。 34 你們這些毒蛇的後代!你們心裡邪惡,又怎能講出好話呢?因為心裡充滿的,口裡自然會說出來。 35 善人心存良善,就從他裡面發出良善;惡人心存邪惡,就從他裡面發出邪惡。 36 我告訴你們,在審判之日,人將為自己所說的每一句閒話負責, 37 因為將來要憑你口中的話來判斷你是否有罪。」
求神蹟
38 當時,有幾個律法教師和法利賽人對耶穌說:「老師,我們想要看你行個神蹟。」 39 耶穌回答說:「一個邪惡淫亂的世代想看神蹟,可是除了約拿先知的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給他們看。 40 約拿在大魚腹中三日三夜,人子也要在地裡三日三夜。 41 在審判的日子,尼尼微人和這世代的人都要起來[a],尼尼微人要定這個世代的罪,因為他們聽到約拿的宣告,就悔改了。看啊!這裡有一人比約拿更偉大。 42 在審判的日子,南方的女王和這世代的人都要起來,她要定這個世代的罪,因為她曾不遠千里來聽所羅門王的智言慧語。看啊!這裡有一人比所羅門王更偉大。
乘虛而入
43 「有一個污鬼離開了牠以前所附的人,在乾旱無水之地四處遊蕩,尋找安歇之處,卻沒有找到。 44 於是牠說,『我要回到老地方。』牠回去後,看見裡面空著,打掃得又乾淨又整齊, 45 就去帶來了七個比自己更邪惡的鬼一起住在那裡。那人的下場比從前更慘了。這個邪惡的世代也會這樣。」
真正的親屬
46 耶穌還在和眾人說話的時候,祂的母親和兄弟站在外面,想要跟祂說話。 47 有人告訴祂:「你的母親和兄弟在外面有話要跟你說。」
48 耶穌說:「誰是我的母親?誰是我的兄弟?」 49 祂伸出手來指著門徒說:「你們看!這些人就是我的母親和我的兄弟。 50 凡遵行我天父旨意的人都是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親。」

Good News Translation
The Question about the Sabbath(A)
12 (B)Not long afterward Jesus was walking through some wheat fields on a Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, so they began to pick heads of wheat and eat the grain. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Jesus, “Look, it is against our Law for your disciples to do this on the Sabbath!”
3 (C)Jesus answered, “Have you never read what David did that time when he and his men were hungry? 4 (D)He went into the house of God, and he and his men ate the bread offered to God, even though it was against the Law for them to eat it—only the priests were allowed to eat that bread. 5 (E)Or have you not read in the Law of Moses that every Sabbath the priests in the Temple actually break the Sabbath law, yet they are not guilty? 6 I tell you that there is something here greater than the Temple. 7 (F)The scripture says, ‘It is kindness that I want, not animal sacrifices.’ If you really knew what this means, you would not condemn people who are not guilty; 8 for the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
The Man with a Paralyzed Hand(G)
9 Jesus left that place and went to a synagogue, 10 where there was a man who had a paralyzed hand. Some people were there who wanted to accuse Jesus of doing wrong, so they asked him, “Is it against our Law to heal on the Sabbath?”
11 (H)Jesus answered, “What if one of you has a sheep and it falls into a deep hole on the Sabbath? Will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 And a human being is worth much more than a sheep! So then, our Law does allow us to help someone on the Sabbath.” 13 Then he said to the man with the paralyzed hand, “Stretch out your hand.”
He stretched it out, and it became well again, just like the other one. 14 Then the Pharisees left and made plans to kill Jesus.
God's Chosen Servant
15 When Jesus heard about the plot against him, he went away from that place; and large crowds followed him. He healed all the sick 16 and gave them orders not to tell others about him. 17 He did this so as to make come true what God had said through the prophet Isaiah:
18 (I)“Here is my servant, whom I have chosen,
the one I love, and with whom I am pleased.
I will send my Spirit upon him,
and he will announce my judgment to the nations.
19 He will not argue or shout,
or make loud speeches in the streets.
20 He will not break off a bent reed,
nor put out a flickering lamp.
He will persist until he causes justice to triumph,
21 and on him all peoples will put their hope.”
Jesus and Beelzebul(J)
22 Then some people brought to Jesus a man who was blind and could not talk because he had a demon. Jesus healed the man, so that he was able to talk and see. 23 The crowds were all amazed at what Jesus had done. “Could he be the Son of David?” they asked.
24 (K)When the Pharisees heard this, they replied, “He drives out demons only because their ruler Beelzebul gives him power to do so.”
25 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and so he said to them, “Any country that divides itself into groups which fight each other will not last very long. And any town or family that divides itself into groups which fight each other will fall apart. 26 So if one group is fighting another in Satan's kingdom, this means that it is already divided into groups and will soon fall apart! 27 You say that I drive out demons because Beelzebul gives me the power to do so. Well, then, who gives your followers the power to drive them out? What your own followers do proves that you are wrong! 28 No, it is not Beelzebul, but God's Spirit, who gives me the power to drive out demons, which proves that the Kingdom of God has already come upon you.
29 (L)“No one can break into a strong man's house and take away his belongings unless he first ties up the strong man; then he can plunder his house.
30 (M)“Anyone who is not for me is really against me; anyone who does not help me gather is really scattering. 31 For this reason I tell you: people can be forgiven any sin and any evil thing they say;[a] but whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 (N)Anyone who says something against the Son of Man can be forgiven; but whoever says something against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven—now or ever.
A Tree and Its Fruit(O)
33 (P)“To have good fruit you must have a healthy tree; if you have a poor tree, you will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it bears. 34 (Q)You snakes—how can you say good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good person brings good things out of a treasure of good things; a bad person brings bad things out of a treasure of bad things.
36 “You can be sure that on the Judgment Day you will have to give account of every useless word you have ever spoken. 37 Your words will be used to judge you—to declare you either innocent or guilty.”
The Demand for a Miracle(R)
38 (S)Then some teachers of the Law and some Pharisees spoke up. “Teacher,” they said, “we want to see you perform a miracle.”
39 (T)“How evil and godless are the people of this day!” Jesus exclaimed. “You ask me for a miracle? No! The only miracle you will be given is the miracle of the prophet Jonah. 40 (U)In the same way that Jonah spent three days and nights in the big fish, so will the Son of Man spend three days and nights in the depths of the earth. 41 (V)On the Judgment Day the people of Nineveh will stand up and accuse you, because they turned from their sins when they heard Jonah preach; and I tell you that there is something here greater than Jonah! 42 (W)On the Judgment Day the Queen of Sheba will stand up and accuse you, because she traveled all the way from her country to listen to King Solomon's wise teaching; and I assure you that there is something here greater than Solomon!
The Return of the Evil Spirit(X)
43 “When an evil spirit goes out of a person, it travels over dry country looking for a place to rest. If it can't find one, 44 it says to itself, ‘I will go back to my house.’ So it goes back and finds the house empty, clean, and all fixed up. 45 Then it goes out and brings along seven other spirits even worse than itself, and they come and live there. So when it is all over, that person is in worse shape than at the beginning. This is what will happen to the evil people of this day.”
Jesus' Mother and Brothers(Y)
46 Jesus was still talking to the people when his mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside, asking to speak with him. 47 So one of the people there said to him, “Look, your mother and brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak with you.”[b]
48 Jesus answered, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 49 Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “Look! Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 Whoever does what my Father in heaven wants is my brother, my sister, and my mother.”

New International Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)(B)
12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain(C) and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”(D)
3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(E) 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.(F) 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath(G) and yet are innocent? 6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.(H) 7 If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a](I) you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man(J) is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus,(K) they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”(L)
11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?(M) 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!(N) Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.(O)
God’s Chosen Servant
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill.(P) 16 He warned them not to tell others about him.(Q) 17 This was to fulfill(R) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;(S)
I will put my Spirit on him,(T)
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
21 In his name the nations will put their hope.”[b](U)
Jesus and Beelzebul(V)
22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.(W) 23 All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”(X)
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul,(Y) the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”(Z)
25 Jesus knew their thoughts(AA) and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan(AB) drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul,(AC) by whom do your people(AD) drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God(AE) has come upon you.
29 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(AF) 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.(AG) 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age(AH) or in the age to come.(AI)
33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.(AJ) 34 You brood of vipers,(AK) how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks(AL) what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”(AM)
The Sign of Jonah(AN)(AO)
38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign(AP) from you.”(AQ)
39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.(AR) 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,(AS) so the Son of Man(AT) will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.(AU) 41 The men of Nineveh(AV) will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,(AW) and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came(AX) from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.(AY) That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(AZ)
46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother(BA) and brothers(BB) stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”
48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven(BC) is my brother and sister and mother.”
