耶稣治愈瘫痪病人

耶稣登船过湖,回到自己的城里。 一些人抬着一个躺在垫子上的瘫痪病人来见他。耶稣看到他们有如此强的信仰,便对瘫痪病人说∶“鼓起勇气,年轻人,你的罪孽被宽恕了。”

一些律法师听到这些话后,窃窃私语道∶“这个人在说冒犯上帝的话。”

耶稣看出他们的心思,便对他们说∶“为什么你们要心怀邪念呢? 两者相比,哪个更容易呢? 是对这人说‘你的罪被宽恕了,’容易,还是说‘站起来,迈步走,’容易呢? 我要向你们证明,人子在世间有宽恕罪孽的权力。”然后他对瘫痪病人说∶“起来,拿上你的铺盖,走回家去吧。”

病人果真站了起来,走回家去了。 众人看到这一切,都很惊讶。他们都赞美上帝赋予了人如此的权力。

马太跟随耶稣

耶稣离开那里时,看见一个名叫马太的人坐在收税的地方,便对他说∶“跟随我。”马太便起身跟随了耶稣。

10 耶稣在马太家里吃饭时,有许多税吏和名声不好的人都来与他和门徒们一起吃饭。 11 法利赛人看见了,就问耶稣的门徒∶“为什么你们的老师与税吏和罪人一起吃饭呢?”

12 耶稣听见了,便对他们说∶“健康人不需要医生,需要医生的是那些有病的人。 13 你们去好好领会一下这段《经》文的含义吧∶‘我需要的是人与人之间的仁慈,而不是祭物。我不是来召唤正直人的,而是来召唤罪人的。’” [a]

耶稣与其宗教领导人不同

14 约翰的门徒来问耶稣∶“我们和法利赛人经常禁食,为什么您的门徒却不禁食?”

15 耶稣回答说∶“在婚礼上,当新郎和朋友在一起时,他的朋友们不悲伤,此时,他们也不可能禁食。但是,新郎迟早要离开他们的,那时他们会感到悲伤而禁食。

16 “没有人会用一块没有缩过水的新布去补旧衣服,因为补钉一缩水,会把破洞扯得更大了, 17 也没有人会把新酒装进旧酒囊里,否则,酒囊就会被撑破,结果酒也漏掉了,酒囊也毁了。相反,如果把新酒装进新酒囊,这两样东西都能保全。”

  1. 馬 太 福 音 9:13 引自旧约《何西阿书》6:6。

治好瘫子(A)

耶稣上了船,过到自己的城来。 有人把一个躺在床上的瘫子带到他那里。耶稣看见他们的信心,就对瘫子说:“孩子,放心!你的罪赦了。” 有几位经学家彼此说:“这个人在说僭妄的话。” 耶稣看出他们所想的,就说:“你们心里为甚么存着恶念呢? 说‘你的罪赦了’,或说‘起来行走’,哪一样容易呢? 然而为了要使你们知道人子在地上有赦罪的权柄,(他就对瘫子说:)起来,拿起你的床,回家去吧。” 他就起来回家去了。 群众看见,就起了敬畏的心,颂赞那把这样的权柄赐给人的 神。

呼召马太(B)

耶稣从那里往前走,看见一个人,名叫马太,坐在税关那里,就对他说:“来跟从我!”他就起来跟从了耶稣。 10 耶稣在屋里吃饭的时候,有很多税吏和罪人来与他和门徒一起吃饭。 11 法利赛人看见了,就对他的门徒说:“你们的老师为甚么跟税吏和罪人一起吃饭呢?” 12 耶稣听见了,就说:“健康的人不需要医生,有病的人才需要, 13 ‘我喜爱怜悯,不喜爱祭祀’,你们去想一想这话的意思吧。我来不是要召义人,而是要召罪人。”

新旧的比喻(C)

14 那时,约翰的门徒前来问耶稣:“为甚么我们和法利赛人常常禁食,你的门徒却不禁食呢?” 15 耶稣回答:“新郎跟宾客在一起的时候,宾客怎能哀痛呢?但到了时候,新郎就要从他们中间被取去,那时他们就要禁食了。 16 没有人会拿一块新布补在旧衣服上,因为补上的会把衣服扯破,裂的地方就更大了。 17 也没有人会把新酒装在旧皮袋里,如果这样,皮袋就会胀破,酒就漏出来,皮袋也损坏了。人总是把新酒装在新皮袋里,这样,两样都可以保全。”

醫治癱子

耶穌坐船回到湖對岸自己住的城鎮。

有人用擔架把一個癱子抬到耶穌面前。耶穌看見他們的信心,就對癱子說:「孩子,放心吧!你的罪得到赦免了。」

幾個律法教師聽了,心裡想:「這個人是在褻瀆上帝。」

耶穌知道他們的心思,就說:「你們為什麼心懷惡念呢? 說『你的罪得到赦免了』容易呢?還是說『你起來行走』容易呢? 如今我要讓你們知道人子在世上有赦罪的權柄。」於是祂對癱子說:「起來!收拾你的擔架回家去吧。」

那人立刻站起來,回家去了。 看見的人都充滿了敬畏,就讚美把這樣的權柄賜給人的上帝。

呼召馬太

耶穌離開那裡往前走,看見一個名叫馬太的人坐在收稅站裡,便對他說:「跟從我!」馬太就站起來跟從了耶穌。

10 耶穌在馬太家裡坐席的時候,很多稅吏和罪人前來跟耶穌和祂的門徒一起坐席。 11 法利賽人看見了,就質問耶穌的門徒:「你們的老師為何跟稅吏和罪人一起吃飯?」 12 耶穌聽見後,答道:「健康的人不需要醫生,有病的人才需要。 13 聖經上說,『我喜愛憐憫之心,而非祭物』,你們去揣摩這句話的意思吧。我來不是要召義人,乃是要召罪人。」

禁食的問題

14 那時,約翰的門徒來問耶穌:「我們和法利賽人常常禁食,為什麼你的門徒不禁食呢?」

15 耶穌對他們說:「新郎和賓客還在一起的時候,賓客怎能悲傷呢?但有一天新郎將被帶走,那時他們就要禁食了。

16 「沒有人用新布縫補舊衣,恐怕新布會把舊衣扯破,破洞會更大。 17 也沒有人用舊皮囊來盛新酒,否則皮囊會漲破,酒也漏了,皮囊也毀了。人們總是把新酒裝在新皮囊裡,以便兩樣都能保住。」

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)

Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.(B) Some men brought to him a paralyzed man,(C) lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith,(D) he said to the man, “Take heart,(E) son; your sins are forgiven.”(F)

At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”(G)

Knowing their thoughts,(H) Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man(I) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” Then the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God,(J) who had given such authority to man.

The Calling of Matthew(K)

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(L) he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.

10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(M)

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a](N) For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(O)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(P)

14 Then John’s(Q) disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often,(R) but your disciples do not fast?”

15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?(S) The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.(T)

16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

  1. Matthew 9:13 Hosea 6:6

And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

And he arose, and departed to his house.

But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
