呼召四個門徒(A)

耶穌站在革尼撒勒湖邊,眾人擁擠他,要聽 神的道。 他看見兩隻船停在湖邊,漁夫離開船洗網去了。 他上了西門的那一隻船,請他撐開,離岸不遠,就坐下,從船上教導眾人。 講完了,就對西門說:“把船開到水深的地方,下網打魚!” 西門說:“主啊,我們整夜勞苦,毫無所得,不過,我願照你的話下網。” 他們下了網,就圈住很多魚,網幾乎裂開, 就招呼另外那隻船上的同伴來幫助,他們就來把兩隻船裝滿,甚至船要下沉。 西門.彼得看見這種情景,就俯伏在耶穌膝前,說:“主啊,離開我,因為我是個罪人。” 他和跟他在一起的人,因這網所打的魚,都十分驚駭。 10 西門的夥伴,西庇太的兒子雅各、約翰也是這樣。耶穌對西門說:“不要怕!從今以後,你要作得人的漁夫了。” 11 他們把兩隻船攏了岸,撇下一切,跟從了耶穌。

治好痲風病人(B)

12 有一次,耶穌在一個城裡,突然有一個滿身痲風的人看見他,就把臉伏在地上,求他說:“主啊!如果你肯,必能使我潔淨。” 13 耶穌伸手摸他,說:“我肯,你潔淨了吧!”痲風立刻離開了他。 14 耶穌囑咐他不可告訴任何人,“你只要去給祭司檢查,並且照著摩西所規定的,為你得潔淨獻祭,好向大家作證。” 15 但他的名聲卻越發傳揚出去,成群的人來聚集,要聽道,並且要使他們的疾病痊愈。 16 耶穌卻退到曠野去禱告。

治好癱子(C)

17 有一天,耶穌正在教導人,法利賽人和律法教師也坐在那裡,他們是從加利利和猶太各鄉村,並耶路撒冷來的;主的能力與他同在,叫他能醫病。 18 有人用床抬著一個癱子,想送進去,放在耶穌跟前。 19 因為人多,沒有辦法進去,就上了房頂,從瓦間把癱子和床往當中縋下去,正在耶穌跟前。 20 他看見他們的信心,就說:“朋友(“朋友”原文作“人”),你的罪赦了。” 21 經學家和法利賽人就議論起來,說:“這人是誰,竟然說僭妄的話?除 神一位以外,誰能赦罪呢?” 22 耶穌知道他們的議論,就對他們說:“你們心裡為甚麼議論呢? 23 說:‘你的罪赦了’,或說:‘起來行走’,哪一樣容易呢? 24 然而為了要你們知道,人子在地上有赦罪的權柄,(他就對癱子說:)我吩咐你,起來,拿起你的床,回家去吧。” 25 那人立刻當眾起來,拿著他躺過的床,頌讚 神,回家去了。 26 眾人都驚奇,頌讚 神,並且十分懼怕,說:“我們今天看見了不平常的事。”

呼召利未(D)

27 事後,耶穌出去,看見一個稅吏,名叫利未,坐在稅關那裡,就對他說:“來跟從我!” 28 他就撇下一切,起來跟從了耶穌。 29 利未在自己家裡,為他大擺筵席,有許多稅吏和別的人一起吃飯。 30 法利賽人和經學家埋怨他的門徒,說:“你們為甚麼跟稅吏和罪人一起吃喝呢?” 31 耶穌回答:“健康的人不需要醫生,有病的人才需要。 32 我來不是要召義人,而是要召罪人悔改。”

新舊的比喻(E)

33 他們說:“約翰的門徒常常禁食、祈禱,法利賽人的門徒也是這樣,而你的門徒卻又吃又喝。” 34 耶穌說:“新郎跟賓客在一起的時候,你們怎麼可以叫賓客禁食呢? 35 但日子到了,新郎要被取去,離開他們,那一天他們就要禁食了。” 36 他又對他們設個比喻說:“沒有人會從新衣服撕下一塊布,補在舊衣服上,如果這樣,不但新衣服撕破了,而且新撕下的布,也和舊的不調和。 37 也沒有人會把新酒裝在舊皮袋裡;如果這樣,新酒就會把皮袋脹破,不但酒漏掉,皮袋也損壞了; 38 人總是把新酒裝在新皮袋裡。 39 喝慣陳酒的人,就不想喝新酒,他總說陳的好。”

I primi discepoli

Un giorno, mentre Gesù predicava sulla riva del lago di Genesaret, la folla gli si stringeva attorno per ascoltare la Parola di Dio. Gesù allora vide due barche vuote ferme a riva: i pescatori erano scesi e lavavano le reti. Montato su una delle barche, Gesù disse a Simone, il proprietario, di scostarsi un poʼ dalla riva, così si sarebbe potuto sedere nella barca e da lì parlare alla folla.

Quando ebbe finito di parlare, egli disse a Simone: «Ora vai al largo e getta le reti; vedrai quanto pesce prenderai!» Ma Simone rispose: «Signore, abbiamo lavorato sodo tutta la notte e non abbiamo preso niente! Ma se lo dici tu, proviamo ancora…» E stavolta le reti furono così piene, che cominciarono a strapparsi! Allora fecero cenno ai compagni dellʼaltra barca, perché venissero ad aiutarli; e ben presto tutte e due le barche furono talmente piene di pesce, che rischiavano di affondare!

Quando Simon Pietro si rese conto dellʼaccaduto, cadde in ginocchio davanti a Gesù, dicendo: «O, Signore, per piacere allontanati da me, perché io sono troppo peccatore per starti vicino!» 9-10 Pietro era rimasto sconvolto da quella pesca straordinaria e, come lui, lo erano gli altri, ed anche i suoi soci, Giacomo e Giovanni, figli di Zebedeo. Ma Gesù disse a Simone: «Non aver paura! Dʼora in avanti pescherai anime di uomini!»

11 E non appena sbarcarono, essi lasciarono tutto per andare con Gesù.

Gesù guarisce molti malati

12 Un giorno, in un certo villaggio che Gesù stava visitando cʼera un uomo lebbroso da molti anni. Quando il poveretto vide Gesù, si gettò ai suoi piedi, supplicandolo perché lo guarisse.

«Signore», disse, «se soltanto lo vuoi, tu puoi guarirmi del tutto!»

13 Gesù lo toccò, dicendo: «Certo che lo voglio. Sii guarito!» E la lebbra sparì. 14 Allora Gesù gli ordinò di allontanarsi subito, senza dir niente a nessuno e di andare a farsi vedere dal sacerdote giudeo. Poi aggiunse: «Offri il sacrificio richiesto dalla legge di Mosè per i lebbrosi che sono guariti. Ciò proverà a tutti che ora stai bene». 15 A questo punto, la notizia della sua potenza si sparse a grande velocità e moltissime persone venivano per sentirlo predicare e per essere guariti dalle malattie. 16 E Gesù spesso si ritirava in luoghi deserti per pregare.

17 Un giorno, mentre insegnava, si erano seduti vicino a lui alcuni capi religiosi giudei e dottori della legge, venuti da molti villaggi della Galilea, della Giudea ed anche da Gerusalemme. E la potenza del Signore era con lui per compiere guarigioni.

18-19 Ed ecco che alcuni uomini vennero portando un paralitico in barella. Cercarono di farsi largo fra la folla per raggiungere Gesù, ma non ci riuscirono. Allora salirono sul tetto sopra di lui, tolsero alcune tegole e piano piano calarono la barella con lʼinvalido giù fra la folla, proprio davanti a Gesù.

20 Vedendo la loro fede, Gesù disse a quellʼuomo: «Amico, i tuoi peccati ti sono perdonati!»

21 «Ma chi pensa di essere questo qui?» cominciarono a domandarsi i Farisei e i dottori della legge. «Questa è una bestemmia! Chi può perdonare i peccati allʼinfuori di Dio?»

22 Ma Gesù che conosceva i loro pensieri disse loro: «Perché fate questi ragionamenti? 23-24 Io, il Messia, ho lʼautorità qui sulla terra di perdonare i peccati. Ma parlare è facile, chiunque potrebbe dire, ciò che ho detto. Vi proverò quindi la verità delle mie parole, guarendo questʼuomo». Poi, rivolto al paralitico, comandò: «Raccogli la tua barella e vattene a casa, perché sei guarito!»

25 Immediatamente, sotto gli occhi allibiti dei presenti, lʼuomo si alzò, raccolse la barella e se ne andò a casa, lodando Dio. 26 Tutti quanti furono presi da spavento e timore; e lodavano Dio, ripetendo: «Oggi abbiamo visto cose davvero straordinarie!»

27 Più tardi, mentre Gesù passava per la strada, vide un esattore delle tasse, con la solita reputazione di truffatore, che sedeva dietro il suo banco. Lʼuomo si chiamava Levi. Gesù gli disse: «Vieni e diventa mio discepolo!» 28 Levi balzò in piedi, lasciò tutto e andò con lui.

29 Poco dopo Levi diede un pranzo a casa sua. Gesù era lʼospite dʼonore. Cʼerano anche molti colleghi di Levi, agenti delle tasse, ed altri ospiti.

Gli esperti contestano

30 I Farisei e i dottori della legge protestarono vivamente con i discepoli, perché Gesù partecipava a quel banchetto, spalla a spalla con i più noti peccatori.

31 Gesù rispose loro: «Sono i malati che hanno bisogno del medico, non quelli in buona salute! 32 Io sono venuto a chiamare quelli che si sentono peccatori, perché cambino vita, non quelli che si reputano già abbastanza buoni!»

33 I Farisei e i dottori della legge protestarono anche perché i discepoli di Gesù mangiavano e bevevano, anziché digiunare. Dicevano: «I discepoli di Giovanni Battista digiunano spesso e pregano, così fanno anche i nostri discepoli. Perché i tuoi discepoli, invece, mangiano e bevono?»

34 Gesù rispose: «Possibile che si metta a digiunare chi è felice? O pensate, forse, che gli invitati ad un banchetto di nozze se ne stiano a soffrir la fame, mentre festeggiano lo sposo? 35 Ma verrà il momento in cui lo sposo sarà portato via da loro; allora sì che non vorranno più mangiare!»

36 Poi Gesù portò questo paragone: «Nessuno taglia un pezzo di stoffa da un vestito nuovo per rattoppare un vestito vecchio. Non solo sarebbe rovinato lʼindumento nuovo, ma anche il vecchio sarebbe più brutto con una toppa nuova! 37 Così pure, nessuno mette del vino nuovo in otri vecchi, perché il vino nuovo li fa scoppiare, e così si rovinerebbero gli otri ed anche il vino andrebbe perso. 38 Il vino nuovo deve essere messo in otri nuovi. 39 E nessuno, dopo aver bevuto del vino dʼannata, ne vuol bere del nuovo. Infatti si suol dire: “Quello vecchio è migliore”».

And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,

and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets,

and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon's, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.

And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, `Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;'

and Simon answering said to him, `Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.'

And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,

and they beckoned to the partners, who [are] in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.

And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,

10 and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, `Fear not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;'

11 and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.

12 And it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities, that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on [his] face, he besought him, saying, `Sir, if thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me;'

13 and having stretched forth [his] hand, he touched him, having said, `I will; be thou cleansed;' and immediately the leprosy went away from him.

14 And he charged him to tell no one, `But, having gone away, shew thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;'

15 but the more was the report going abroad concerning him, and great multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities,

16 and he was withdrawing himself in the desert places and was praying.

17 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was -- to heal them.

18 And lo, men bearing upon a couch a man, who hath been struck with palsy, and they were seeking to bring him in, and to place before him,

19 and not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus,

20 and he having seen their faith, said to him, `Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, `Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'

22 And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, `What reason ye in your hearts?

23 which is easier -- to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?

24 `And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority upon the earth to forgive sins -- (he said to the one struck with palsy) -- I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy little couch, be going on to thy house.'

25 And presently having risen before them, having taken up [that] on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,

26 and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying -- `We saw strange things to-day.'

27 And after these things he went forth, and beheld a tax-gatherer, by name Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, `Be following me;'

28 and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him.

29 And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat),

30 and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, `Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?'

31 And Jesus answering said unto them, `They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:

32 I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

33 And they said unto him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications -- in like manner also those of the Pharisees -- but thine do eat and drink?'

34 And he said unto them, `Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber -- in the bridegroom being with them -- to fast?

35 but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.'

36 And he spake also a simile unto them -- `No one a patch of new clothing doth put on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also doth make a rent, and with the old the patch doth not agree, that [is] from the new.

37 `And no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;

38 but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together;

39 and no one having drunk old [wine], doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.'

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(A)

One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God.(B) He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.(C)

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”(D)

Simon answered, “Master,(E) we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.(F) But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.(G) So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”(H) For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid;(I) from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.(J)

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(K)

12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[b](L) When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone,(M) but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded(N) for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

15 Yet the news about him spread all the more,(O) so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.(P)

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(Q)

17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law(R) were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.(S) 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”(T)

21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(U)

22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(V) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God.(W) They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(X)

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,”(Y) Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.(Z)

29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors(AA) and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect(AB) complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”(AC)

31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”(AD)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(AE)

33 They said to him, “John’s disciples(AF) often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”

34 Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom(AG) fast while he is with them? 35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them;(AH) in those days they will fast.”

36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”
