馬可福音 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
施洗者約翰預備道路
1 有關上帝的兒子耶穌基督的福音是這樣開始的。
2 以賽亞先知書上說：
「看啊，
我要差遣我的使者在你前面為你預備道路。
3 他在曠野大聲呼喊，
『預備主的道，
修直祂的路。』」
4 果然，約翰出現了，他在曠野勸人悔改，接受洗禮，使罪得到赦免。 5 猶太全境和耶路撒冷的居民都到約翰那裡承認他們的罪，在約旦河裡接受他的洗禮。
6 約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服，腰束皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲和野蜜。 7 他傳道說：「在我之後，有一位能力比我更大的要來，我連彎腰替祂解鞋帶也不配。 8 我是用水給你們施洗，但祂要用聖靈給你們施洗。」
耶穌受洗
9 那時，耶穌從加利利的拿撒勒來約旦河接受約翰的洗禮。 10 耶穌從水中一上來，就看見天開了，聖靈好像鴿子一樣降在祂身上， 11 從天上有聲音說：「你是我的愛子，我甚喜悅你。」
耶穌受試探
12 聖靈隨即催促祂到曠野。 13 祂在曠野受撒旦的試探四十天。祂與野獸在一起，有天使服侍祂。
呼召四漁夫
14 約翰被捕後，耶穌來到加利利宣講上帝的福音，說： 15 「時候到了，上帝的國臨近了，你們要悔改，相信福音。」
16 耶穌沿著加利利湖邊走，看見兩個漁夫——西門和他的弟弟安得烈正在湖上撒網捕魚。 17 耶穌對他們說：「來跟從我！我要使你們成為得人的漁夫。」 18 他們立刻拋下漁網，跟從了耶穌。
19 耶穌往前走了不遠，又看見西庇太的兩個兒子雅各和約翰正在船上補網， 20 便立刻呼召他們。他們就辭別父親和船上的工人，跟從了耶穌。
傳道趕鬼
21 他們到了迦百農，耶穌在安息日去會堂裡講道。 22 那裡的人都很吃驚，因為祂教導他們時像個有權柄的人，不像律法教師。 23 當時會堂裡有一個被污鬼附身的人喊道： 24 「拿撒勒的耶穌啊，我們和你有什麼關係？你是來毀滅我們嗎？我知道你是誰，你是上帝的聖者！」
25 耶穌責備牠說：「住口，從他身上出來！」
26 污鬼使那人抽搐了一陣，大叫一聲，就出來了。 27 在場的人十分驚訝，彼此議論說：「這是怎麼回事？真是充滿權柄的新教導啊！竟然連污鬼都服從祂的命令。」 28 於是，耶穌的名聲立刻傳遍了整個加利利。
醫病趕鬼
29 耶穌同雅各和約翰離開會堂，來到西門和安得烈家。 30 當時西門的岳母正發燒，躺在床上，他們立刻把這事告訴耶穌。 31 耶穌走到她的床邊，拉著她的手扶她起來，她的燒立刻退了，便起來服侍他們。
32 日落之後，有人把病人和被鬼附身的人都帶來見耶穌。 33 全城的人都聚在門前。 34 耶穌醫好了許多患各種疾病的人，又趕出很多鬼。祂不准鬼說話，因為鬼認識祂。
在加利利傳道
35 第二天清早，天還沒亮，耶穌就起來獨自走到曠野去禱告。 36 西門和同伴們四處尋找耶穌， 37 找到了，便對祂說：「大家都在找你呢！」
38 耶穌卻回答說：「我們到附近的鄉鎮去吧，我也好在那裡傳道，因為我就是為這事來的。」
39 於是，耶穌走遍加利利，在各會堂傳道，趕鬼。
治好痲瘋病人
40 有一次，一個患痲瘋病的人來到耶穌面前，跪下央求：「只要你肯，一定能使我潔淨。」
41 耶穌動了慈心，就伸手摸他，說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」 42 那人的痲瘋病立即消失了，他就潔淨了。 43 耶穌讓他回去並鄭重地叮囑： 44 「不要把這事告訴別人，要去讓祭司察看你的身體，並照摩西的規定獻祭，向眾人證明你已經潔淨了。」
45 但那人離開之後，卻到處傳揚這件事，以致耶穌無法再公開進城。祂只能待在城外的曠野，可是人們仍從各處來找祂。

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
施洗約翰(A)
1 神的兒子（有些抄本無“ 神的兒子”一句）耶穌基督福音的開始。
2 正如以賽亞先知的書上寫著：
“看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
預備你的道路；
3 在曠野有呼喊者的聲音：
‘預備主的道，
修直他的路！’”
4 照這話，施洗的約翰在曠野出現了，傳講悔改的洗禮，使罪得赦。 5 猶太全地和全耶路撒冷的人，都出來到他那裡去，承認自己的罪，在約旦河裡受了他的洗。 6 約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服，腰束皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲和野蜜。 7 他傳講說：“有一位在我以後來的，能力比我大，我就是彎腰給他解鞋帶都沒有資格。 8 我用水給你們施洗，他卻要用聖靈給你們施洗。”
耶穌受洗(B)
9 那時候耶穌從加利利的拿撒勒來，在約旦河裡受了約翰的洗。 10 他從水裡一上來，就看見天裂開了，聖靈仿佛鴿子降在他身上。 11 又有聲音從天上來說：“你是我的愛子，我喜悅你。”
耶穌受試探(C)
12 聖靈隨即催促耶穌到曠野去。 13 他在那裡四十天，受撒但的試探，和野獸在一起，有天使來服事他。
在加利利傳道(D)
14 約翰被捕以後，耶穌來到加利利，宣講 神的福音， 15 說：“時候到了， 神的國近了，你們應當悔改，相信福音。”
呼召四個門徒(E)
16 耶穌沿著加利利海邊行走，看見西門和他弟弟安得烈在海上撒網；他們是漁夫。 17 耶穌就對他們說：“來跟從我，我要使你們成為得人的漁夫。” 18 他們立刻撇下網，跟從了他。 19 耶穌稍往前走，看見西庇太的兒子雅各，和雅各的弟弟約翰，正在船上整理魚網， 20 他立即呼召他們。他們撇下父親西庇太和雇工在船上，就跟從他去了。
在迦百農趕出污靈(F)
21 他們到了迦百農，耶穌隨即在安息日進入會堂教導人。 22 大家對他的教訓都很驚奇，因為他教導他們，像一個有權柄的人，不像經學家。 23 就在那時，會堂裡有一個被污靈附著的人，喊叫起來， 24 說：“拿撒勒人耶穌，我們跟你有甚麼關係呢？你來毀滅我們嗎？我知道你是誰，你是 神的聖者。” 25 耶穌斥責他說：“住口！從他身上出來！” 26 污靈使那人抽瘋，大聲喊叫，就從他身上出來了。 27 眾人都很驚訝，於是彼此對問說：“這是怎麼一回事？是個有權能的新道理啊！他吩咐污靈，污靈竟服從了他！” 28 耶穌的名聲立刻傳遍了加利利一帶。
治病趕鬼(G)
29 他們一出會堂，就和雅各、約翰到西門和安得烈的家裡去。 30 西門的岳母正在發燒躺著，他們立刻告訴耶穌。 31 耶穌走到她面前，拉著她的手，扶她起來，熱就退了，她就服事他們。 32 到了黃昏，有人不斷把生病的和被鬼附的，都帶到耶穌面前。 33 全城的人都聚集在門口。 34 耶穌醫好了各樣的病，也趕出許多的鬼，並且不許鬼說話，因為鬼認識他。
在加利利傳道趕鬼(H)
35 次日凌晨，天還沒有亮，耶穌起身出去，來到荒野的地方，在那裡禱告。 36 西門和那些跟他在一起的人就去尋找耶穌。 37 他們找到了，就對他說：“大家都在找你呢！” 38 耶穌對他們說：“我們到鄰近的鄉鎮去吧，我也好在那裡傳道，因為我就是為這事而來的。” 39 於是他走遍加利利全地，在他們的會堂裡傳道，並且趕鬼。
治好痲風病人(I)
40 有一個患痲風的人，來到耶穌跟前，跪下求他說：“如果你肯，必能使我潔淨。” 41 耶穌動了憐憫的心，就伸手摸他，說：“我肯，你潔淨了吧！” 42 痲風立刻離開了他，他就潔淨了。 43 耶穌打發那人離開以前，嚴厲地吩咐他， 44 說：“你千萬不可把這事告訴任何人，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。” 45 但那人出來，竟任意傳講，就把這事傳開了，以致耶穌不能再公開進城，只好留在外邊荒野的地方；然而還是有人從各處到他那裡去。
Mark 1
New Catholic Bible
Preparation for the Mission of Jesus[a]
Chapter 1
Beginning of the Good News.[b] 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 It is written in the prophet Isaiah:[c]
“Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you;
he will prepare your way.
3 The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’ ”
4 Hence, John the Baptist appeared in the desert, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 People from the entire Judean countryside and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him, and as they confessed their sins they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
6 John was clothed in a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and his food consisted of locusts and wild honey. 7 And this was the message he proclaimed: “One who is far more powerful than I am is coming after me. I am not worthy even to stoop down and loosen the straps of his sandals. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”[d]
Jesus Is Baptized by John.[e] 9 At that time,[f] Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 [g]And as he was coming up out of the water, he beheld the heavens break open and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.”
12 Jesus Is Tempted in the Desert.[h] The Spirit immediately drove him out into the desert. 13 He remained there for forty days, during which time he was tempted by Satan. He lived there among the wild beasts, while the angels ministered to him.
Is Jesus the Messiah?[i]
First Testimonies of the Messiah’s Mission
14 Jesus Inaugurates His Mission. After John had been arrested,[j] Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, 15 “The time of fulfillment has arrived, and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
16 The First Disciples.[k] As Jesus was walking along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 18 Immediately, they abandoned their nets and followed him.
19 As he proceeded farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They also were in a boat mending their nets. 20 Immediately, he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers and followed him.
21 Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon.[l] They journeyed to Capernaum, and on the Sabbath Jesus immediately entered the synagogue and began to instruct the people. 22 They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 In that synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit, and he shrieked, 24 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.”[m] 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
26 The unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and with a loud cry emerged from him. 27 The people were all amazed, and they began to ask one another, “What is this? It must be a new kind of teaching! With authority he gives commands even to unclean spirits, and they obey him!” 28 His reputation quickly began to spread everywhere throughout the entire region of Galilee.
29 Jesus Heals Peter’s Mother-in-Law. Immediately on leaving the synagogue, he went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law[n] was lying in bed, sick with a fever, and they informed Jesus at once about her. 31 Jesus approached her, grasped her by the hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 Other Healings. That evening, after sunset, they brought to him all those who were sick or possessed by demons.[o] 33 The whole town was present, crowded around the door. 34 He cured many who were afflicted with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, although he would not permit them to speak because they knew who he was.
35 Jesus Proclaims the Message and Heals the Sick. Early the next morning, long before dawn, he arose and went off to a secluded place, where he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions set forth in search of him, 37 and when they found him they said, “Everybody is looking for you.” 38 He replied, “Let us move on to the neighboring towns so that I may proclaim the message there as well. For this is the reason why I came.” 39 Then he traveled all throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy. A man with leprosy[p] approached and, kneeling before him, begged him, “If you choose to do so, you can make me clean.” 41 Moved with pity, “he stretched out his hand and touched him,[q] saying, “I do choose. Be made clean!” 42 Immediately, the leprosy left him and he was cured.
43 Jesus then sent him away at once, after first sternly warning him, 44 “See that you tell no one anything about this. Just go and show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed. That will be proof for them.”[r] 45 However, he went forth and began to proclaim the entire story, spreading the word far and wide. As a result, Jesus could no longer go openly into any town. Rather, he stayed outside in deserted places, and people continued to come to him from every quarter.
Footnotes
- Mark 1:1 Around the year 30, after centuries of silence, a prophet named John appears and unsettles his contemporaries. They are captivated by the force of his personality and the vehemence of his message. Then Jesus comes on the scene. Mark uses this story as a kind of prologue for his book, a kind of key for understanding the pages that follow: the Gospel, the “good news,” is here bursting out in the midst of humanity; the action of Jesus inaugurates the kingdom of God, the time of salvation.
- Mark 1:1 The Gospel is not primarily a book but rather God’s action for the salvation of humankind. The entire Book of Mark depicts Jesus as the promised and awaited one (the Messiah) and as the Son of God (see Mk 8:35; 10:29).
- Mark 1:2 The prophet Isaiah: the quotation that follows is a combination of Malachi (3:1) and Isaiah (40:3). See note on Mt 27:9.
- Mark 1:8 Baptize you with the Holy Spirit: see note on Mt 3:11.
- Mark 1:9 Mark retains only the essential elements of the divine manifestation, which here is given only to Jesus, whose mission is announced.
- Mark 1:9 At that time: Jesus probably began his public ministry about A.D. 27 at approximately 30 years of age (see Lk 3:23). Nazareth: see note on Mt 2:23. Baptized by John: see note on Mt 3:15 for the meaning of Jesus’ baptism.
- Mark 1:10 This passage has the involvement of all three persons of the Trinity: (1) the Father speaks; (2) the Son is baptized; and (3) the Holy Spirit descends on the Son.
- Mark 1:12 Jesus is already committed to his mission of combating Satan, the representative of all the forces of evil that batter humanity.
- Mark 1:14 People had a simple idea of the Messiah as a glorious figure: they were expecting a national hero, a political liberator, a restorer of their independence and their public worship, a leader who would bring Israel to world domination. But the reason why Jesus comes before the nation is quite different. This first part of Mark’s Gospel describes three periods. Three times the author gives a general summary of the activity of Jesus and describes a mission of the disciples; each period ends with a scene of hostility and lack of understanding. At the end of this first half of the book, the confession of Peter at Caesarea recognizes the Messiah without any misunderstanding. From that point on, the road will lead to the Passion; that development occupies the second half of the Gospel.
- Mark 1:14 After John had been arrested: the ministry of Jesus begins under the sign of his precursor’s martyrdom. This simple chronological marker is a veiled prefiguration of the suffering and death that await the Messiah. See note on Lk 3:20.
- Mark 1:16 See note on Mt 4:18-22.
- Mark 1:21 See note on Lk 4:31-41.
- Mark 1:24 The Holy One of God: this title is used only here and in Lk 4:34 and Jn 6:69. It refers more to Jesus’ divinity than to his Messiahship (see Lk 1:35).
- Mark 1:30 Simon’s mother-in-law: Paul (in 1 Cor 9:5) speaks of Peter being married.
- Mark 1:32 At sunset, the strictly enjoined Sabbath rest came to an end.
- Mark 1:40 Leprosy: see Lev 13–14.
- Mark 1:41 Touched him: an act that caused defilement according to the Law (see Lev 13:45-46). Jesus’ compassion superseded any consideration of defilement.
- Mark 1:44 For this ritual cleansing, see Lev 14:1-32.
