创世记 25-26
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
亚伯拉罕娶基土拉(A)
25 亚伯拉罕又娶了一个妻子，名叫基土拉。 2 基土拉给他生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和书亚。 3 约珊生了示巴和底但，而底但的子孙是亚书利人、利都示人和利乌米人。 4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大和以勒大。这些人都是基土拉的子孙。 5 亚伯拉罕把自己一切所有的都给了以撒。 6 亚伯拉罕把礼物分给他庶出的众子，在自己还活着的时候，就打发他们离开他的儿子以撒，向东面行，往东方的地去。
亚伯拉罕逝世
7 亚伯拉罕一生的年日是一百七十五岁。 8 亚伯拉罕寿高年老，享尽天年，气绝而死，归到他的先人那里去了。 9 他的儿子以撒和以实玛利把他埋葬在麦比拉洞里。这洞是在幔利前面，赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的田间， 10 就是亚伯拉罕从赫人那里买来的那块田。亚伯拉罕和他的妻子撒拉都埋葬在那里。 11 亚伯拉罕死后， 神赐福给他的儿子以撒；那时，以撒住在庇耳．拉海．莱附近。
以实玛利的后代(B)
12 以下是撒拉的婢女埃及人夏甲，给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子以实玛利的后代。 13 以实玛利的众子，按着他们的家谱，名字如下：以实玛利的长子是尼拜约，其次是基达、押德别、米比衫、 14 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、 15 哈达、提玛、伊突、拿非施和基底玛。 16 这些都是以实玛利的儿子。他们的村庄和营地都按着他们的名字命名；他们作了十二族的族长。 17 以实玛利一生的岁数，是一百三十七岁；他气绝而死，归到他的先人那里去了。 18 他的子孙住在哈腓拉直到埃及东面的书珥，通往亚述的道上。以实玛利却住在自己众兄弟的东面。
以撒的后代
19 以下是亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的后代。亚伯拉罕生以撒。 20 以撒娶利百加为妻的时候，正四十岁。利百加是巴旦．亚兰地、亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹妹。 21 以撒因为自己的妻子不生育，就为她恳求耶和华。耶和华应允了他，他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。 22 双胎在她腹中彼此碰撞，她就说：“若是这样，我为甚么活着呢？”她就去求问耶和华。 23 耶和华回答她：
“两国在你肚里，
两族从你腹中要分出来；
将来这族必强过那族，
大的要服事小的。”
24 到了生产的时候，她肚腹中果然是一对双生子。 25 先出来的，全身赤红有毛，像毛衣一样，他们就给他起名叫以扫。 26 随后，他的弟弟也出来了，他的手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此就给他起名叫雅各。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。
以扫出卖长子名分
27 两个孩子渐渐长大；以扫善于打猎，喜欢生活在田野；雅各为人安静，常常住在帐棚里。 28 以撒爱以扫，因为他常吃以扫的野味；利百加却爱雅各。 29 有一次，雅各正在煮豆汤的时候，以扫从田野回来，疲乏得很。 30 以扫对雅各说：“求你把这红豆汤给我喝吧，因为我疲乏得很。”因此，以扫的名字又叫以东。 31 雅各说：“你要先把你的长子名分卖给我。” 32 以扫说：“我快要死了，这长子名分对我有甚么益处呢？” 33 雅各说：“你先向我起誓吧。”以扫就向他起了誓，把自己的长子名分卖给雅各。 34 于是，雅各把饼和红豆汤给了以扫；以扫吃了，喝了，就起来走了。以扫就这样轻看了他的长子名分。
以撒与亚比米勒
26 从前在亚伯拉罕的时候，曾经有过一次饥荒，现在那地又有饥荒，以撒就到基拉耳去，到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里。 2 耶和华向以撒显现，说：“你不要下到埃及去，要住在我所指示你的地方。 3 你要寄居在这地，我必与你同在，必赐福给你，因为我要把这全地都赐给你和你的后裔，履行我向你父亲亚伯拉罕所起的誓。 4 我必使你的后裔增多，好象天上的星那样多；我必把这全地都赐给你的后裔；地上的万国都必因你的后裔得福。 5 这是因为亚伯拉罕听从了我的话，遵守了我的吩咐、我的命令、我的条例和我的律法。” 6 于是，以撒就住在基拉耳。 7 那地方的人问起他的妻子，他就回答：“她是我的妹妹。”因为他不敢说：“她是我的妻子。”他心里想：“恐怕这地方的人，因利百加的缘故把我杀了，因为她容貌美丽。” 8 以撒在那里住了很久。有一天，非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里向外观望，看见以撒正在爱抚他的妻子利百加。 9 亚比米勒于是把以撒召了来，对他说：“你看，她实在是你的妻子，你怎么说是你的妹妹呢？”以撒回答他：“因为我心里想：‘恐怕我因她的缘故丧命。’” 10 亚比米勒说：“你向我们作的是甚么事呢？人民中间险些有人与你的妻子同睡，那你就把我们陷在罪恶里了。” 11 于是，亚比米勒吩咐全国人民，说：“凡是触犯这人或是他的妻子的，必被处死。”
12 以撒在那里耕种，那一年丰收百倍，耶和华实在赐福给他。 13 他就日渐昌大，越来越富有，成了个大富翁。 14 他拥有羊群、牛群和很多仆人，非利士人就嫉妒他。 15 他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候，所有由他父亲仆人挖的井，非利士人都塞住了，填满了土。 16 亚比米勒对以撒说：“你离开我们去吧，因为你比我们强大得多了。” 17 以撒于是离开那里，在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚，住在那里。
18 他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候，仆人所挖的水井，在亚伯拉罕死后都被非利士人塞住了。以撒重新挖掘这些井，仍然照着他父亲所起的名字叫它们。 19 以撒的仆人在山谷里挖井，在那里挖得一口活水井。 20 基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争闹起来，说：“这水是我们的。”以撒就给那井起名叫埃色，因为他们与他相争。 21 以撒的仆人又挖了另一口井，他们又为这井争闹起来，因此以撒给这井起名叫西提拿。 22 以撒离开那里，又挖了另一口井；他们不再为这井争闹了，他就给那井起名利河伯，因为他说：“现在耶和华给我们宽阔的地方，我们必在这里繁盛起来了。”
23 以撒从那里上到别是巴去。 24 那天晚上，耶和华向他显现，说：
“我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的 神；
你不要怕，因为我与你同在；
我必为了我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故，
赐福给你，使你的后裔增多。”
25 以撒就在那里筑了一座祭坛，呼求耶和华的名；又在那里支搭帐棚；以撒的仆人也在那里挖了一口井。
以撒与亚比米勒立约
26 亚比米勒和他的朋友亚户撒，以及他的军长非各，从基拉耳来到以撒那里。 27 以撒问他们：“你们既然恨我，把我从你们中间赶出来，为甚么又到我这里来呢？” 28 他们回答：“我们实在看见耶和华与你同在，因此我们想：‘不如我们双方起誓。’让我们与你立约吧； 29 你不要伤害我们，正如我们从来没有触犯你，只有善待你，让你平平安安地离开。现在你是蒙耶和华赐福的了。” 30 以撒就为他们摆设筵席，他们就一起吃喝。 31 第二天，他们清早起来，彼此起誓；以撒就送他们走，他们平平安安地离开他走了。 32 那一天，以撒的仆人来把他们挖井的事告诉他，说：“我们找到水了。” 33 以撒就给那井起名叫示巴，因此那城名叫别是巴，直到今日。
以扫娶二妻
34 以扫四十岁的时候，娶了赫人比利的女儿犹滴，和赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹为妻。 35 她们二人常使以撒和利百加伤心难过。
创世记 25-26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚伯拉罕的其他后代
25 亚伯拉罕又娶了基土拉。 2 基土拉为亚伯拉罕生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和书亚。 3 约珊生了示巴和底但，底但的子孙是亚书利族、利都示族和利乌米族。 4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大和以勒大。这些都是基土拉的子孙。 5 亚伯拉罕把所有的财产都给了以撒。 6 他趁自己还在世的时候，把一些礼物送给他的妾所生的儿子们，让他们离开他的儿子以撒到东方去。
7 亚伯拉罕活了一百七十五岁， 8 享尽天年，寿终正寝，归到他祖先那里。 9 他的两个儿子以撒和以实玛利把他安葬在麦比拉洞，那山洞在幔利附近、赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的地里。 10 那块地是亚伯拉罕向赫人买的，他和妻子撒拉葬在一起。 11 亚伯拉罕去世以后，上帝赐福给他的儿子以撒。以撒住在庇耳·拉海·莱附近。
12 以实玛利是亚伯拉罕和撒拉的婢女埃及人夏甲所生的儿子。 13 以下是以实玛利的儿子，按出生的次序是：尼拜约、基达、亚德别、米比衫、 14 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、 15 哈大、提玛、伊突、拿非施、基底玛。 16 他这十二个儿子后来分别成了十二个族的族长，各有自己的村庄和营寨。 17 以实玛利活了一百三十七岁，寿终正寝，归到他祖先那里。 18 他子孙居住的地方从哈腓拉一直延伸到埃及东面、通往亚述方向的书珥，他们与其他亲属作对[a]。
利百加生以扫和雅各
19 以下是关于亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的记载。
亚伯拉罕生以撒。 20 以撒四十岁娶利百加，利百加是巴旦·亚兰的亚兰人彼土利的女儿、拉班的妹妹。 21 以撒因为利百加没有生育，就为她祈求耶和华。耶和华应允了他的祈求，利百加就怀了孕。 22 两个胎儿在她腹中彼此相争，她说：“怎么会这样？”于是，她去求问耶和华。 23 耶和华对她说：
“你腹中有两个国家，
你要生出两个敌对的民族，
一族要比另一族强大，
将来大的要服侍小的。”
24 到了生产的时候，利百加果然生下双胞胎。 25 先出生的婴儿遍体通红，浑身长毛，好像穿了皮衣，因此给他取名叫以扫[b]。 26 随后出生的弟弟紧紧抓着以扫的脚跟，因此给他取名叫雅各[c]。那时以撒六十岁。
以扫出卖长子名分
27 孩子们渐渐长大，以扫擅长狩猎，常在田野活动；雅各生来安静，喜欢待在家里。 28 以撒疼爱以扫，因为他喜欢吃以扫带回来的猎物，利百加却疼爱雅各。
29 一天，雅各正在熬汤，以扫筋疲力尽地从田野回来。 30 以扫对雅各说：“我要饿死了，给我一些红豆汤喝吧！”因此，以扫又叫以东[d]。 31 雅各回答说：“好，你今天把长子的名分卖给我吧！” 32 以扫说：“我都快饿死了，长子的名分对我有什么用呢？” 33 雅各说：“好，你现在向我起誓保证吧！”于是，以扫就起誓把长子的名分卖给了雅各。 34 雅各把饼和红豆汤给以扫，以扫吃完喝完便走了。以扫轻看自己长子的名分。
以撒寄居基拉耳
26 亚伯拉罕在世的时候，那地方闹过一次饥荒，这时又闹饥荒。以撒就迁到基拉耳的非利士王亚比米勒那里。 2 耶和华向以撒显现说：“不要下埃及去，要住在我指示你住的地方。 3 你寄居在这里，我必与你同在，赐福给你，因为我必把这些土地赐给你和你的后代，坚立我对你父亲亚伯拉罕的誓约。 4 我必使你的后代多如繁星，将这些土地都赐给他们，天下万国必因你的后裔而蒙福。 5 因为亚伯拉罕听从我的话，遵守我的吩咐、命令、典章和律法。”
亚比米勒斥责以撒
6 于是，以撒就在基拉耳住下来。 7 那里的人问起他的妻子时，他便说：“她是我妹妹。”他不敢说：“她是我妻子。”他担心当地的人会因为利百加而害他，因为利百加长得非常美丽。 8 以撒在那里住了许久。一天，非利士王亚比米勒从窗口看见以撒和利百加亲热的情形， 9 便召见以撒，问他：“她明明是你妻子，为什么你说她是你妹妹呢？”以撒回答说：“我担心别人为了她而杀害我！” 10 亚比米勒说：“你怎么可以这样对我们呢？万一百姓中有人想占有她，你就使我们陷入罪中了。” 11 于是，亚比米勒下令全国：凡伤害他们二人的，必被处死。
12 以撒在那里耕种，耶和华赐福给他，那一年他得了百倍的收成。 13 他的财富越来越多，成了大富户。 14 他拥有很多的牛羊和仆婢，非利士人嫉妒他。 15 他父亲亚伯拉罕生前派人挖的那些水井，全被非利士人用土塞住了。 16 亚比米勒对以撒说：“请你离开我们吧，因为你太强盛了。” 17 以撒就离开那里，把帐篷迁往基拉耳谷居住。 18 他的父亲亚伯拉罕生前挖的水井都被非利士人塞住了，以撒便重新挖开，并沿用父亲生前给那些水井起的名字。 19 以撒的牧人在谷中挖得一口活水井， 20 基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争吵起来，都说：“这口井是我们的。”于是，以撒便称那口井为埃色[e]。 21 后来，以撒的仆人又挖了一口井，他们双方又为那口井发生争执，以撒便称那口井为西提拿[f]。 22 以撒离开那里，又挖了一口水井。这次，他们没有为那口井争吵。所以，以撒称那口井为利河伯[g]。以撒说：“如今耶和华给了我们一个宽阔的地方，我们可以在这里繁荣兴旺。”
23 以撒从那里上别示巴去。 24 当天晚上，耶和华向他显现说：“我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的上帝。你不用惧怕，因为我与你同在。为了我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故，我必赐福给你，使你子孙众多。” 25 以撒在那里筑了一座坛求告耶和华，并且在那里搭起帐篷住下来。他的仆人又在那里挖了一口井。
以撒和亚比米勒起誓立约
26 一天，亚比米勒带着他的参谋亚户撒、将领非各从基拉耳来见以撒。 27 以撒见到他们就说：“你们既然憎恨我，把我赶走，为什么又来找我？” 28 他们回答说：“我们清楚知道耶和华与你同在，我们双方应该订立誓约。 29 请你起誓保证不会伤害我们，就像我们没有侵犯你，总是善待你，让你平安地离开一样。你是蒙耶和华赐福的人。” 30 于是，以撒为他们摆设宴席，一同吃喝。 31 第二天早晨，以撒和他们互相起誓之后，送他们平安地离去。 32 在同一天，以撒的仆人将挖井的事告诉他，说：“我们找到水了。” 33 以撒便称那口井为示巴[h]，因此那城叫别示巴，沿用至今。
以扫娶妻
34 以扫四十岁时，娶了赫人比利的女儿犹蒂与赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹。 35 她们二人常使以撒和利百加伤心。
Genesis 25-26
King James Version
25 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
26 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 And they said, We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the Lord.
30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
马太福音 9:1-17
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
治好瘫子(A)
9 耶稣上了船，过到自己的城来。 2 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。” 3 有几位经学家彼此说：“这个人在说僭妄的话。” 4 耶稣看出他们所想的，就说：“你们心里为甚么存着恶念呢？ 5 说‘你的罪赦了’，或说‘起来行走’，哪一样容易呢？ 6 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。” 7 他就起来回家去了。 8 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)
9 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。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
医治瘫子
9 耶稣坐船回到湖对岸自己住的城镇。
2 有人用担架把一个瘫子抬到耶稣面前。耶稣看见他们的信心，就对瘫子说：“孩子，放心吧！你的罪得到赦免了。”
3 几个律法教师听了，心里想：“这个人是在亵渎上帝。”
4 耶稣知道他们的心思，就说：“你们为什么心怀恶念呢？ 5 说‘你的罪得到赦免了’容易呢？还是说‘你起来行走’容易呢？ 6 如今我要让你们知道人子在世上有赦罪的权柄。”于是祂对瘫子说：“起来！收拾你的担架回家去吧。”
7 那人立刻站起来，回家去了。 8 看见的人都充满了敬畏，就赞美把这样的权柄赐给人的上帝。
呼召马太
9 耶稣离开那里往前走，看见一个名叫马太的人坐在收税站里，便对他说：“跟从我！”马太就站起来跟从了耶稣。
10 耶稣在马太家里坐席的时候，很多税吏和罪人前来跟耶稣和祂的门徒一起坐席。 11 法利赛人看见了，就质问耶稣的门徒：“你们的老师为何跟税吏和罪人一起吃饭？” 12 耶稣听见后，答道：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要。 13 圣经上说，‘我喜爱怜悯之心，而非祭物’，你们去揣摩这句话的意思吧。我来不是要召义人，乃是要召罪人。”
禁食的问题
14 那时，约翰的门徒来问耶稣：“我们和法利赛人常常禁食，为什么你的门徒不禁食呢？”
15 耶稣对他们说：“新郎和宾客还在一起的时候，宾客怎能悲伤呢？但有一天新郎将被带走，那时他们就要禁食了。
16 “没有人用新布缝补旧衣，恐怕新布会把旧衣扯破，破洞会更大。 17 也没有人用旧皮囊来盛新酒，否则皮囊会胀破，酒也漏了，皮囊也毁了。人们总是把新酒装在新皮囊里，以便两样都能保住。”

Matthew 9:1-17
King James Version
9 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 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.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
