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。”

呼召門徒

一天,耶穌站在革尼撒勒湖邊,眾人團團圍著祂,要聽上帝的道。 祂看見湖邊停著兩條船,漁夫離了船正在洗網, 就上了西門的那條船,請西門把船稍微划離岸邊,然後坐在船上教導眾人。 耶穌講完之後對西門說:「把船划到水深的地方去撒網捕魚。」

西門說:「老師,我們勞碌了一整夜,一無所獲,但既然你這樣吩咐,我就照你的話做。」 他們把網撒下去,果然捕獲很多魚,差點把網撐破了, 於是招呼另一條船上的同伴來幫忙。他們一起把兩條船都裝滿了魚,船幾乎要沉下去了。

西門·彼得見狀,便跪倒在耶穌膝前說:「主啊,離開我,我是個罪人!」 他和所有同伴們對捕到這麼多魚感到非常驚訝, 10 包括西庇太的兩個兒子雅各和約翰。耶穌對西門說:「不要怕,從今以後,你將成為得人的漁夫。」 11 於是他們把船靠岸後,撇下一切跟從了耶穌。

潔淨痲瘋病人

12 有一次,耶穌在一個小鎮遇見一個渾身患痲瘋病的人,那人一看見耶穌,就俯伏在地上懇求說:「主啊,如果你肯,一定能使我潔淨。」

13 耶穌伸手摸他,說:「我肯,你潔淨了吧!」他身上的痲瘋病立刻消失了。

14 耶穌又囑咐他:「不要把這事告訴別人,要去讓祭司察看你的身體,照摩西的規定獻上祭物,向眾人證明你已經潔淨了。」

15 結果耶穌的名聲傳得更廣了,成群的人聚集到祂那裡聽祂講道、求祂醫病。 16 不過,祂還是常常退到曠野去禱告。

叫癱子行走

17 有一天,耶穌在教導人,旁邊坐著來自加利利、猶太和耶路撒冷各地的法利賽人和律法教師,主的能力伴隨著耶穌,使祂能醫治病人。

18 有人用擔架抬著一個癱瘓的人想進到屋裡,把他放在耶穌面前。 19 可是人太擠了,無法進去,他們就爬上屋頂,掀開瓦片,把那病人連人帶擔架縋到耶穌面前。 20 耶穌看見他們那麼有信心,就對癱子說:「朋友,你的罪得到赦免了!」

21 那些法利賽人和律法教師開始議論起來:「這個說話褻瀆上帝的人是誰啊?除了上帝以外,誰能夠赦罪?」

22 耶穌知道他們的想法,就問:「你們為什麼心裡議論呢? 23 說『你的罪得到赦免了』容易呢,還是說『你起來行走』容易呢? 24 如今我要讓你們知道人子在世上有赦罪的權柄。」於是對癱子說:「我吩咐你起來!收拾你的擔架回家去吧。」

25 那人立刻當眾站了起來,拿起他躺臥的擔架回家去了,不住地讚美上帝。 26 眾人都十分驚奇,一同讚美上帝,心裡充滿了敬畏,說:「今天我們看到神蹟了!」

呼召利未

27 後來耶穌外出時,看見一個名叫利未的稅吏坐在收稅站裡,就對他說:「跟從我!」 28 利未就起來,撇下一切跟從了耶穌。

29 隨後,他在家設宴款待耶穌,赴宴的人中有許多稅吏和其他人。 30 法利賽人和律法教師就向耶穌的門徒抱怨說:「你們為什麼跟稅吏和罪人一起吃喝呢?」

31 耶穌答道:「健康的人不需要醫生,有病的人才需要。 32 我來不是要召義人悔改,乃是召罪人悔改。」

論禁食

33 他們說:「約翰的門徒常常禁食禱告,法利賽人的門徒也是一樣,可是你的門徒卻又吃又喝。」

34 耶穌說:「新郎還跟賓客在一起的時候,豈能讓賓客禁食? 35 但有一天新郎將被帶走,那時他們就要禁食了。」 36 耶穌又給他們講了一個比喻,說:「沒有人會從新衣服上撕下一塊布來,補在舊衣服上。否則,不但新衣服撕破了,舊衣服和新補丁也不相稱。 37 同樣,沒有人把新酒裝進舊皮囊裡,否則新酒會把舊皮囊漲破,酒也漏了,皮囊也毀了。 38 所以新酒一定要裝在新皮囊裡。 39 但是,沒有人喝過陳年老酒後,還願意喝新酒,因為他會說,『還是陳年老酒好。』」

Chapter 5

The Call of Simon the Fisherman.[a](A) (B)While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. (C)After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, 10 and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”(D) 11 When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything[b] and followed him.(E)

The Cleansing of a Leper.(F) 12 Now there was a man full of leprosy[c] in one of the towns where he was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” 13 Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately. 14 Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but “Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed;[d] that will be proof for them.”(G) 15 The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, 16 but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.(H)

The Healing of a Paralytic.(I) 17 [e]One day as Jesus was teaching, Pharisees[f] and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was with him for healing. 18 And some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; they were trying to bring him in and set [him] in his presence. 19 But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles[g] into the middle in front of Jesus. 20 When he saw their faith, he said, “As for you, your sins are forgiven.”[h] 21 Then the scribes[i] and Pharisees began to ask themselves, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?”(J) 22 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in reply, “What are you thinking in your hearts?(K) 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 24 [j](L)But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.” 25 He stood up immediately before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God. 26 Then astonishment seized them all and they glorified God, and, struck with awe, they said, “We have seen incredible things today.”

The Call of Levi.(M) 27 After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” 28 And leaving everything behind,[k] he got up and followed him. 29 (N)Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them. 30 The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31 Jesus said to them in reply, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. 32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.”

The Question About Fasting.(O) 33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same; but yours eat and drink.” 34 [l]Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests[m] fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” 36 [n]And he also told them a parable. “No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one. Otherwise, he will tear the new and the piece from it will not match the old cloak. 37 Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. 38 Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. 39 [And] no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’”[o]

Footnotes

  1. 5:1–11 This incident has been transposed from his source, Mk 1:16–20, which places it immediately after Jesus makes his appearance in Galilee. By this transposition Luke uses this example of Simon’s acceptance of Jesus to counter the earlier rejection of him by his hometown people, and since several incidents dealing with Jesus’ power and authority have already been narrated, Luke creates a plausible context for the acceptance of Jesus by Simon and his partners. Many commentators have noted the similarity between the wondrous catch of fish reported here (Lk 4:4–9) and the post-resurrectional appearance of Jesus in Jn 21:1–11. There are traces in Luke’s story that the post-resurrectional context is the original one: in Lk 4:8 Simon addresses Jesus as Lord (a post-resurrectional title for Jesus—see Lk 24:34; Acts 2:36—that has been read back into the historical ministry of Jesus) and recognizes himself as a sinner (an appropriate recognition for one who has denied knowing Jesus—Lk 22:54–62). As used by Luke, the incident looks forward to Peter’s leadership in Luke-Acts (Lk 6:14; 9:20; 22:31–32; 24:34; Acts 1:15; 2:14–40; 10:11–18; 15:7–12) and symbolizes the future success of Peter as fisherman (Acts 2:41).
  2. 5:11 They left everything: in Mk 1:16–20 and Mt 4:18–22 the fishermen who follow Jesus leave their nets and their father; in Luke, they leave everything (see also Lk 5:28; 12:33; 14:33; 18:22), an indication of Luke’s theme of complete detachment from material possessions.
  3. 5:12 Full of leprosy: see note on Mk 1:40.
  4. 5:14 Show yourself to the priest…what Moses prescribed: this is a reference to Lv 14:2–9 that gives detailed instructions for the purification of one who had been a victim of leprosy and thereby excluded from contact with others (see Lv 13:45–46, 49; Nm 5:2–3). That will be proof for them: see note on Mt 8:4.
  5. 5:17–6:11 From his Marcan source, Luke now introduces a series of controversies with Pharisees: controversy over Jesus’ power to forgive sins (Lk 5:17–26); controversy over his eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners (Lk 5:27–32); controversy over not fasting (Lk 5:33–36); and finally two episodes narrating controversies over observance of the sabbath (Lk 5:1–11).
  6. 5:17 Pharisees: see note on Mt 3:7.
  7. 5:19 Through the tiles: Luke has adapted the story found in Mark to his non-Palestinian audience by changing “opened up the roof” (Mk 2:4, a reference to Palestinian straw and clay roofs) to through the tiles, a detail that reflects the Hellenistic Greco-Roman house with tiled roof.
  8. 5:20 As for you, your sins are forgiven: literally, “O man, your sins are forgiven you.” The connection between the forgiveness of sins and the cure of the paralytic reflects the belief of first-century Palestine (based on the Old Testament: Ex 20:5; Dt 5:9) that sickness and infirmity are the result of sin, one’s own or that of one’s ancestors (see also Lk 13:2; Jn 5:14; 9:2).
  9. 5:21 The scribes: see note on Mk 2:6.
  10. 5:24 See notes on Mt 9:6 and Mk 2:10.
  11. 5:28 Leaving everything behind: see note on Lk 5:11.
  12. 5:34–35 See notes on Mt 9:15 and Mk 2:19.
  13. 5:34 Wedding guests: literally, “sons of the bridal chamber.”
  14. 5:36–39 See notes on Mt 9:16–17 and Mk 2:19.
  15. 5:39 The old is good: this saying is meant to be ironic and offers an explanation for the rejection by some of the new wine that Jesus offers: satisfaction with old forms will prevent one from sampling the new.
