马太福音 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
麻风病痊愈
8 耶稣下山的时候,有许多人跟着。 2 有一个患麻风病的人跑来跪在祂跟前,说:“主啊,如果你肯,一定能使我洁净。”
3 耶稣伸手摸他,说:“我肯,你洁净了吧!”那人的麻风病就立刻洁净了。
4 耶稣对他说:“不要把这事告诉别人,要去让祭司察看你的身体,并且照摩西的规定献祭,向众人证明你已经洁净了。”
百夫长的信心
5 耶稣到了迦百农,一个百夫长前来向祂求助,说: 6 “主啊,我的仆人瘫痪,躺在家里,非常痛苦。”
7 耶稣说:“我这就去医治他。”
8 百夫长说:“主啊,我不配让你亲自来我家。你只要说一句话,我仆人就会痊愈。 9 因为我有上司,也有部下。我命令我的部下去,他就去;要他来,他就来。我吩咐仆人做什么事,他一定照办。”
10 耶稣听了,感到惊奇,便对跟随祂的人说:“我实在告诉你们,我在以色列从未见过信心这么大的人。 11 我告诉你们,将来有许多从东从西来的人会在天国与亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一同欢宴。 12 但那些本应承受天国的人反会被赶出去,在黑暗里哀哭切齿。”
13 耶稣对百夫长说:“你回去吧!就照你所信的给你成就。”就在那时候,他的仆人便痊愈了。
治病赶鬼
14 耶稣来到彼得家,看见彼得的岳母正在发烧,躺在床上。 15 耶稣一摸她的手,烧就退了。她便起来服侍耶稣。
16 当天晚上,有人带着许多被鬼附身的人来见耶稣。耶稣一句话就把鬼赶出去了,并医好了所有的病人。 17 这是要应验以赛亚先知的话:“祂担当了我们的软弱,背负了我们的疾病。”
跟从耶稣的代价
18 耶稣看到人群围着祂,就吩咐门徒渡到湖对岸。 19 这时,有一位律法教师上前对耶稣说:“老师,无论你往哪里去,我都要跟从你。”
20 耶稣说:“狐狸有洞,飞鸟有窝,人子却没有安枕之处。”
21 另一个门徒对耶稣说:“主啊,请让我先回去安葬我的父亲。” 22 耶稣对他说:“跟从我,让死人去埋葬他们的死人吧!”
平静风浪
23 耶稣上了船,门徒也跟着祂上了船。 24 忽然,湖面上狂风大作,波涛汹涌,船快要被巨浪吞没,耶稣却在睡觉。
25 门徒连忙叫醒耶稣,说:“主啊,救命!我们快淹死了!”
26 耶稣答道:“你们的信心太小了,为什么害怕呢?”于是祂起来斥责风和浪,风浪就完全平静了。
27 门徒很惊奇,说:“祂究竟是什么人?连风浪都听祂的!”
治好两个被鬼附身的人
28 耶稣到了对岸加大拉[a]人的地方,有两个被鬼附身的人从坟地里出来见祂。他们非常凶恶,没有人敢从那里经过。 29 他们喊着说:“上帝的儿子啊!我们和你有什么关系?时候还没有到,你就来叫我们受苦吗?”
30 当时,有一大群猪在附近吃食。 31 鬼就哀求耶稣:“如果你要赶我们出去,就让我们进入猪群吧!”
32 耶稣说:“去吧!”
于是,鬼从那二人身上出来,进入猪群,整群猪就一路奔下陡坡,冲进湖里淹死了。 33 放猪的人逃进城,把事情的经过以及被鬼附身者的遭遇告诉了城里的人。 34 于是,全城的人都出来见耶稣,见到后,便请求祂离开那地方。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
痲瘋病痊癒
8 耶穌下山的時候,有許多人跟著。 2 有一個患痲瘋病的人跑來跪在祂跟前,說:「主啊,如果你肯,一定能使我潔淨。」
3 耶穌伸手摸他,說:「我肯,你潔淨了吧!」那人的痲瘋病就立刻潔淨了。
4 耶穌對他說:「不要把這事告訴別人,要去讓祭司查看你的身體,並且照摩西的規定獻祭,向眾人證明你已經潔淨了。」
百夫長的信心
5 耶穌到了迦百農,一個百夫長前來向祂求助,說: 6 「主啊,我的僕人癱瘓,躺在家裡,非常痛苦。」
7 耶穌說:「我這就去醫治他。」
8 百夫長說:「主啊,我不配讓你親自來我家。你只要說一句話,我僕人就會痊癒。 9 因為我有上司,也有部下。我命令我的部下去,他就去;要他來,他就來。我吩咐僕人做什麼事,他一定照辦。」
10 耶穌聽了,感到驚奇,便對跟隨祂的人說:「我實在告訴你們,我在以色列從未見過信心這麼大的人。 11 我告訴你們,將來有許多從東從西來的人會在天國與亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一同歡宴。 12 但那些本應承受天國的人反會被趕出去,在黑暗裡哀哭切齒。」
13 耶穌對百夫長說:「你回去吧!就照你所信的給你成就。」就在那時候,他的僕人便痊癒了。
治病趕鬼
14 耶穌來到彼得家,看見彼得的岳母正在發燒,躺在床上。 15 耶穌一摸她的手,燒就退了。她便起來服侍耶穌。
16 當天晚上,有人帶著許多被鬼附身的人來見耶穌。耶穌一句話就把鬼趕出去了,並醫好了所有的病人。 17 這是要應驗以賽亞先知的話:「祂擔當了我們的軟弱,背負了我們的疾病。」
跟從耶穌的代價
18 耶穌看到人群圍著祂,就吩咐門徒渡到湖對岸。 19 這時,有一位律法教師上前對耶穌說:「老師,無論你往哪裡去,我都要跟從你。」
20 耶穌說:「狐狸有洞,飛鳥有窩,人子卻沒有安枕之處。」
21 另一個門徒對耶穌說:「主啊,請讓我先回去安葬我的父親。」 22 耶穌對他說:「跟從我,讓死人去埋葬他們的死人吧!」
平靜風浪
23 耶穌上了船,門徒也跟著祂上了船。 24 忽然,湖面上狂風大作,波濤洶湧,船快要被巨浪吞沒,耶穌卻在睡覺。
25 門徒連忙叫醒耶穌,說:「主啊,救命!我們快淹死了!」
26 耶穌答道:「你們的信心太小了,為什麼害怕呢?」於是祂起來斥責風和浪,風浪就完全平靜了。
27 門徒很驚奇,說:「祂究竟是什麼人?連風浪都聽祂的!」
治好兩個被鬼附身的人
28 耶穌到了對岸加大拉[a]人的地方,有兩個被鬼附身的人從墳地裡出來見祂。他們非常凶惡,沒有人敢從那裡經過。 29 他們喊著說:「上帝的兒子啊!我們和你有什麼關係?時候還沒有到,你就來叫我們受苦嗎?」
30 當時,有一大群豬在附近吃食。 31 鬼就哀求耶穌:「如果你要趕我們出去,就讓我們進入豬群吧!」
32 耶穌說:「去吧!」
於是,鬼從那二人身上出來,進入豬群,整群豬就一路奔下陡坡,衝進湖裡淹死了。 33 放豬的人逃進城,把事情的經過以及被鬼附身者的遭遇告訴了城裡的人。 34 於是,全城的人都出來見耶穌,見到後,便請求祂離開那地方。

Matthew 8
GOD’S WORD Translation
Jesus Cures a Man with a Skin Disease(A)
8 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
2 A man with a serious skin disease came and bowed down in front of him. The man said to Jesus, “Sir, if you’re willing, you can make me clean.” [a]
3 Jesus reached out, touched him, and said, “I’m willing. So be clean!” Immediately, his skin disease went away, and he was clean.
4 Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this! Instead, show yourself to the priest. Then offer the sacrifice Moses commanded as proof to people that you are clean.”
A Believing Army Officer(B)
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to beg him for help. 6 The officer said, “Sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain.”
7 Jesus said to him, “I’ll come to heal him.”
8 The officer responded, “Sir, I don’t deserve to have you come into my house. But just give a command, and my servant will be healed. 9 As you know, I’m in a chain of command and have soldiers at my command. I tell one of them, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 Jesus was amazed when he heard this. He said to those who were following him, “I can guarantee this truth: I haven’t found faith as great as this in anyone in Israel. 11 I can guarantee that many will come from all over the world. They will eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 The citizens of that kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.”
13 Jesus told the officer, “Go! What you believed will be done for you.” And at that moment the servant was healed.
Jesus Cures Peter’s Mother-in-Law and Many Others(C)
14 When Jesus went to Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law in bed with a fever. 15 Jesus touched her hand, and the fever went away. So she got up and prepared a meal for him.
16 In the evening the people brought him many who were possessed by demons. He forced the ⌞evil⌟ spirits out of people with a command and cured everyone who was sick. 17 So what the prophet Isaiah had said came true: “He took away our weaknesses and removed our diseases.”
18 Now, when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he ordered ⌞his disciples⌟ to cross to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.
What It Takes to Be a Disciple(D)
19 An expert in Moses’ Teachings came to him and said, “Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”
20 Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to sleep.”
21 Another disciple said to him, “Sir, first let me go to bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Sea(E)
23 Jesus’ disciples went with him as he left in a boat. 24 Suddenly, a severe storm came across the sea. The waves were covering the boat. Yet, Jesus was sleeping.
25 So they woke him up, saying, “Lord! Save us! We’re going to die!”
26 Jesus said to them, “Why do you cowards have so little faith?” Then he got up, gave an order to the wind and the sea, and the sea became very calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”
Jesus Cures Two Demon-Possessed Men(F)
28 When he arrived in the territory of the Gadarenes on the other side ⌞of the Sea of Galilee⌟, two men met him. They were possessed by demons and had come out of the tombs. No one could travel along that road because the men were so dangerous.
29 They shouted, “Why are you bothering us now, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before it is time?”
30 A large herd of pigs was feeding in the distance. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you’re going to force us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”
32 Jesus said to them, “Go!” The demons came out and went into the pigs. Suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water. 33 Those who took care of the pigs ran into the city. There they reported everything, especially about the men possessed by demons.
34 Everyone from the city went to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their territory.
