安息日的主

有一个安息日,耶稣和门徒走过一片麦田,门徒随手摘下一些麦穗搓了吃。 有些法利赛人说:“你们为什么做在安息日不准做的事?”

耶稣答道:“你们没有读过大卫的事吗?有一天,大卫和他的部下饿了, 他进入上帝的殿,拿了献给上帝的供饼。这饼只有祭司才可以吃,大卫不但自己吃了,还分给他的部下吃。” 耶稣又对他们说:“人子是安息日的主。”

又有一个安息日,耶稣进入会堂教导人,座中有一个右手萎缩的人。 律法教师和法利赛人密切地监视耶稣,看祂会不会在安息日医治病人,好找个借口控告祂。 耶稣知道他们的心思,就对那个右手萎缩的人说:“起来,站在大家面前!”那人就起来站在那里。

耶稣问众人:“我问你们,在安息日应该行善呢,还是作恶呢?救人呢,还是害人呢?” 10 祂环视众人,然后对那人说:“把手伸出来!”那人的手一伸就复原了。

11 但法利赛人和律法教师却怒火中烧,开始商议对付耶稣的办法。

拣选十二使徒

12 一天,耶稣到山上整夜向上帝祷告。 13 天明时分,祂召集门徒,从中选出十二人立为使徒。 14 他们是:西门——耶稣给他取名叫彼得、西门的兄弟安得烈、雅各、约翰、腓力、巴多罗买、 15 马太、多马、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、激进党人[a]西门、 16 雅各的儿子犹大和出卖耶稣的加略人犹大。

17 耶稣和他们下了山,站在一处平地上,身边有一大群门徒,还有大批从犹太、耶路撒冷以及泰尔和西顿沿海地区来的人,要听祂讲道,盼望祂医治他们的疾病。 18 那些被污鬼缠身的人也得到了祂的医治。 19 大家都想去摸祂,因为有能力从祂身上发出来,可以治好人们的疾病。

论四福

20 耶稣抬头望着门徒,对他们说:

“贫穷的人有福了,
因为上帝的国属于你们!
21 现在饥饿的人有福了,
因为你们将得饱足!
现在哀哭的人有福了,
因为你们将要欢笑!

22 你们为人子的缘故而遭人憎恨、弃绝、侮辱、毁谤,就有福了! 23 那时你们要欢喜雀跃,因为你们在天上有大赏赐!他们的祖先也曾这样恶待以前的先知。

论四祸

24 “富有的人有祸了,
因为你们已经享尽了人世间的安逸!
25 现在饱足的人有祸了,
因为你们将要挨饿!
现在欢笑的人有祸了,
因为你们将要哀哭!
26 人人都夸赞你们的时候,
你们就有祸了,
因为他们的祖先也是这样夸赞假先知!

论爱仇敌

27 “但是,我告诉你们这些听道的人,要爱你们的仇敌,要善待恨你们的人, 28 要为咒诅你们的人祝福,要替恶待你们的人祷告。 29 如果有人打你一边的脸,连另一边也转过来让他打。如果有人夺你的外衣,连内衣也由他拿去。 30 有人向你求什么,就给他;有人拿了你的东西,不要追讨。 31 你们想要别人怎样对待你们,你们就要怎样对待别人。 32 如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人,有什么功劳呢?就是罪人也会这样做。 33 如果你们只善待那些善待你们的人,有什么功劳呢?就是罪人也会这样做。 34 如果你们借钱给人,指望收回,有什么功劳呢?即使罪人也会借贷给罪人,日后再如数收回。

35 “然而,要爱你们的仇敌,善待他们;无论借出什么,都不要指望归还。这样,你们将有大赏赐,并且将成为至高者的儿子,因为祂以恩慈待那些忘恩负义和作恶的人。 36 你们要怜悯人,像你们的天父怜悯人一样。

责人先责己

37 “不要论断人,免得你们被人论断;不要定人的罪,免得自己也被定罪。要饶恕人,这样你们也必蒙饶恕。 38 你们要给他人,这样上帝必给你们,并且会用大号升斗摇匀压实,满满地倒给你们,因为你们用什么样的量器量给别人,上帝也会用什么样的量器量给你们。”

39 耶稣又给他们讲了个比喻,说:“瞎子岂能给瞎子带路?二人岂不是要双双掉进坑里吗? 40 学生不会高过老师,学成之后不过像老师一样。 41 为什么你只看见你弟兄眼中的小刺,却看不见自己眼中的大梁呢? 42 你既看不见自己眼中的大梁,又怎能对弟兄说‘让我除去你眼中的小刺’呢?你这伪君子啊!要先除掉自己眼中的大梁,才能看得清楚,以便清除弟兄眼中的小刺。

树和果子

43 “好树不结坏果子,坏树也结不出好果子。 44 树的好坏从果子就可以分辨出来。人不会从荆棘中采集无花果,也不会在蒺藜上摘取葡萄。 45 善人心存良善,就从他里面发出良善;恶人心存邪恶,就从他里面发出邪恶。因为心里充满的,口里自然会说出来。

两种盖房子的人

46 “你们为什么‘主啊,主啊’地称呼我,却不遵行我的话呢? 47 我要告诉你们那到我这里来,听了我的话又去遵行的人是什么样。 48 他好比一个人盖房子,把地挖深,根基立在磐石上。当河流泛滥,洪水冲击房子时,房子却屹立不摇,因为它的根基稳固。 49 但听了我的话却不遵行的人,好比一个人没有打根基,便将房子盖在地面上,洪水一冲,房子立刻倒塌,完全毁坏了。”

  1. 6:15 当时激进的民族主义者,常以行动反抗统治他们的罗马政府。

Och det hände sig på en sabbat att han tog vägen genom ett sädesfält; och hans lärjungar ryckte av axen och gnuggade sönder dem med händerna och åto.

Då sade några av fariséerna; »Huru kunnen I göra vad som icke är lovligt att göra på sabbaten?

Jesus svarade och sade till dem: »Haven I icke läst om det som David gjorde, när han själv och de som följde honom blevo hungriga:

huru han då gick in i Guds hus och tog skådebröden och åt, och jämväl gav åt dem som följde honom, fastän det ju icke är lovligt för andra än allenast för prästerna att äta sådant bröd?»

Därefter sade han till dem: »Människosonen är herre över sabbaten.»

På en annan sabbat hände sig att han gick in i synagogan och undervisade. Där var då en man vilkens högra hand var förvissnad.

Och de skriftlärde och fariséerna vaktade på honom, för att se om han botade någon på sabbaten; de ville nämligen finna något att anklaga honom för.

Men han förstod deras tankar och sade till mannen som hade den förvissnade handen: »Stå upp, och träd fram.» Då stod han upp och trädde fram.

Sedan sade Jesus till dem: »Jag vill göra eder en fråga. Vilketdera är lovligt på sabbaten: att göra vad gott är, eller att göra vad ont är, att rädda någons liv, eller att förgöra det?»

10 Och han såg sig omkring på dem alla och sade till mannen: »Räck ut din hand.» Och han gjorde så; och hans hand blev frisk igen.

11 Men de blevo såsom ursinniga och talade med varandra om vad de skulle kunna företaga sig mot Jesus.

12 Så hände sig på den tiden att han gick åstad upp på berget för att bedja; och han blev kvar där över natten i bön till Gud.

13 Men när det blev dag, kallade han till sig sina lärjungar och utvalde bland dem tolv, som han ock benämnde apostlar:

14 Simon, vilken han ock gav namnet Petrus, och Andreas, hans broder; vidare Jakob och Johannes och Filippus och Bartolomeus

15 och Matteus och Tomas och Jakob, Alfeus' son, och Simon, som kallades ivraren;

16 vidare Judas, Jakobs son, och Judas Iskariot, den som blev en förrädare.

17 Dessa tog han nu med sig och steg åter ned och stannade på en jämn plats; och en stor skara av hans lärjungar var där församlad, så ock en stor hop folk ifrån hela Judeen och Jerusalem, och från kuststräckan vid Tyrus och Sidon.

18 Dessa hade kommit för att höra honom och för att bliva botade från sina sjukdomar. Och jämväl de som voro kvalda av orena andar blevo botade.

19 Och allt folket sökte att få röra vid honom, ty kraft gick ut ifrån honom och botade alla.

20 Och han lyfte upp sina ögon och säg på sina lärjungar och sade: »Saliga ären I, som ären fattiga, ty eder hör Guds rike till.

21 Saliga ären I, som nu hungren, ty I skolen bliva mättade. Saliga ären I, som nu gråten, ty I skolen le.

22 Saliga ären I, när människorna för Människosonens skull hata eder och förskjuta och smäda eder och kasta bort edert namn såsom något ont.

23 Glädjens på den dagen, ja, springen upp av fröjd, ty se, eder lön är stor i himmelen. På samma satt gjorde ju deras fäder med profeterna.

24 Men ve eder, I som ären rika, ty I haven fått ut eder hugnad!

25 Ve eder, som nu ären mätta, ty I skolen hungra! Ve eder, som nu len, ty I skolen sörja och gråta!

26 Ve eder, när alla människor tala väl om eder! På samma sätt gjorde ju deras fader i fråga om de falska profeterna.

27 Men till eder, som hören mig, säger jag: Älsken edra ovänner, gören gott mot dem som hata eder,

28 välsignen dem som förbanna eder, bedjen för dem som förorätta eder.

29 Om någon slår dig på den ena kinden, så håll ock fram den andra åt honom; och om någon tager manteln ifrån dig, så förvägra honom icke heller livklädnaden.

30 Giv åt var och en som beder dig; och om någon tager ifrån dig vad som är ditt, så kräv det icke igen.

31 Såsom I viljen att människorna skola göra mot eder, så skolen I ock göra mot dem.

32 Om I älsken dem som älska eder, vad tack kunnen I få därför? Också syndare älska ju dem av vilka de bliva älskade.

33 Och om I gören gott mot dem som göra eder gott, vad tack kunnen I få därför? Också syndare göra ju detsamma.

34 Och om I lånen åt dem av vilka I kunnen hoppas att själva få något, vad tack kunnen I få därför? Också syndare låna ju åt syndare för att få lika igen.

35 Nej, älsken edra ovänner, och gören gott och given lån utan att hoppas på någon gengäld. Då skall eder lön bliva stor, och då skolen I vara den Högstes barn; ty han är mild mot de otacksamma och onda.

36 Varen barmhärtiga, såsom eder Fader är barmhärtig.

37 Dömen icke, så skolen I icke bliva dömda; fördömen icke, så skolen I icke bliva fördömda. Förlåten, och eder skall bliva förlåtet.

38 Given, och eder skall bliva givet. Ett gott mått, väl packat, skakat och överflödande, skall man giva eder i skötet; ty med det mått som I mäten med skall ock mätas åt eder igen.»

39 Han framställde ock för dem denna liknelse: »Kan väl en blind leda en blind? Falla de icke då båda i gropen?

40 Lärjungen är icke förmer än sin mästare; när någon bliver fullärd, så bliver han allenast sin mästare lik.

41 Huru kommer det till, att du ser grandet i din broders öga, men icke bliver varse bjälken i ditt eget öga?

42 Huru kan du säga till din broder: 'Broder, låt mig taga ut grandet i ditt öga', du som icke ser bjälken i ditt eget öga? Du skrymtare, tag först ut bjälken ur ditt eget öga; därefter må du se till, att du kan tala ut grandet i din broders öga.

43 Ty intet gott träd finnes, som bär dålig frukt, och lika litet finnes något dåligt träd som bär god frukt;

44 vart och ett träd kännes ju igen på sin frukt. Icke hämtar man väl fikon ifrån törnen, ej heller skördar man vindruvor av törnbuskar.

45 En god människa bär ur sitt hjärtas goda förråd fram vad gott är, och en ond människa bär ur sitt onda förråd fram vad ont är; ty vad hennes hjärta är fullt av, det talar hennes mun. --

46 Men varför ropen I till mig: 'Herre, Herre', och gören dock icke vad jag säger?

47 Var och en som kommer till mig och hör mina ord och gör efter dem, vem han är lik, det skall jag visa eder.

48 Han är lik en man som ville bygga ett hus och som då grävde djupt och lade dess grund på hälleberget. När sedan översvämning kom, störtade sig vattenströmmen mot det huset, men den förmådde dock icke skaka det, eftersom det var så byggt.

49 Men den som hör och icke gör, han är lik en man som byggde ett hus på blotta jorden, utan att lägga någon grund. Och vattenströmmen störtade sig emot det, och strax föll det samman, och det husets fall blev stort.»

Lord of the Sabbath

(A)Now it happened that on a Sabbath He was passing through some grainfields, and His disciples (B)were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you do what (C)is not lawful on the Sabbath?” And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you never read (D)what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him, how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the [a]consecrated bread which (E)is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?” And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath

(F)Now it happened that on another Sabbath He entered (G)the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there [b]whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees (H)were watching Him closely to see if He heals on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him. But He (I)knew [c]what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and [d]come forward!” And he stood up and [e]came forward. And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” 10 And after (J)looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they themselves were filled with [f]rage, and were discussing together what they might do to Jesus.

Jesus Appoints the Twelve

12 Now it happened that [g]at this time He went off to (K)the mountain to (L)pray, and He was spending the whole night in prayer to God. 13 And when day came, (M)He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as (N)apostles: 14 Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew; 15 and (O)Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot; 16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 And Jesus (P)came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was (Q)a large crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of (R)Tyre and Sidon, 18 who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. 19 And all the crowd was trying to (S)touch Him, for (T)power was coming from Him and healing them all.

The Beatitudes

20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say,

(U)Blessed are the poor, for (V)yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are those who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied.
Blessed are those who cry now, for you shall laugh.
22 (W)Blessed are you when men hate you, and (X)exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

23 Be glad in that day and (Y)leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For (Z)their fathers were doing the same things to the prophets.

Jesus Pronounces Woes

24 But woe to (AA)you who are rich, for (AB)you are receiving your comfort in full.
25 Woe to you who [h]are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and cry.
26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers were doing the same things to the (AC)false prophets.

Love Your Enemies

27 “But I say to you who hear, (AD)love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, (AE)pray for those who disparage you. 29 (AF)Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your garment, do not withhold your [i]tunic from him either. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 31 And [j](AG)treat others the same way you want [k]them to treat you. 32 (AH)And if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 (AI)And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. 35 But (AJ)love your enemies, and do good, and lend, [l]expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be (AK)sons of (AL)the Most High; for He Himself is kind to the ungrateful and evil. 36 [m]Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Do Not Judge

37 (AM)And do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; [n](AN)pardon, and you will be [o]pardoned. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will [p]pour (AO)into your lap a (AP)good measure—pressed down, shaken together, running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

39 And He also spoke a parable to them: (AQ)Can a blind man guide a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 (AR)A [q]student is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will [r]be like his teacher. 41 And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye. 43 (AS)For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, [s]on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. 44 (AT)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush. 45 (AU)The good man out of the good [t]treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil. (AV)For his mouth speaks from the abundance of his heart.

Build Your House on the Rock

46 (AW)Now why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 (AX)Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the river burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who heard and did not do accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the river burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.(B) Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(C)

Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(D) He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat.(E) And he also gave some to his companions.” Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man(F) is Lord of the Sabbath.”

On another Sabbath(G) he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(H) to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.(I) But Jesus knew what they were thinking(J) and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.

Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10 He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. 11 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious(K) and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Twelve Apostles(L)

12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.(M) 13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:(N) 14 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew,(O) Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Blessings and Woes(P)

17 He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon,(Q) 18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, 19 and the people all tried to touch him,(R) because power was coming from him and healing them all.(S)

20 Looking at his disciples, he said:

“Blessed are you who are poor,
    for yours is the kingdom of God.(T)
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
    for you will be satisfied.(U)
Blessed are you who weep now,
    for you will laugh.(V)
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
    when they exclude you(W) and insult you(X)
    and reject your name as evil,
        because of the Son of Man.(Y)

23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy,(Z) because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.(AA)

24 “But woe to you who are rich,(AB)
    for you have already received your comfort.(AC)
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
    for you will go hungry.(AD)
Woe to you who laugh now,
    for you will mourn and weep.(AE)
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
    for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.(AF)

Love for Enemies(AG)

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,(AH) 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.(AI) 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.(AJ) 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.(AK)

32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?(AL) Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?(AM) Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them,(AN) and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children(AO) of the Most High,(AP) because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful,(AQ) just as your Father(AR) is merciful.

Judging Others(AS)

37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.(AT) Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.(AU) 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.(AV) For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”(AW)

39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?(AX) 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.(AY)

41 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

A Tree and Its Fruit(AZ)

43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.(BA) People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.(BB)

The Wise and Foolish Builders(BC)

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’(BD) and do not do what I say?(BE) 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice,(BF) I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
