馬太福音 9
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
赦罪與治病
9 耶穌上了船,渡過去,來到自己的城裡。 2 這時候,有幾個人把一個躺在床榻上癱瘓的人抬到他面前。耶穌看見他們的信心,就對癱瘓的人說:「孩子,鼓起勇氣吧!你的罪孽被赦免了。」
3 但這時候,有些經文士心裡說:「這個人說褻瀆的話!」
4 耶穌知道他們的想法,就說:「你們心裡為什麼懷著惡念呢? 5 或說『你的罪孽被赦免了』,或說『你起來走路』,到底哪一樣更容易呢? 6 不過為要使你們知道人子在地上有赦免罪的權柄——」於是他對癱瘓的人說:「起來,拿起你的床榻,回家去吧!」 7 那個人就起來,回家去了。 8 眾人看見就起了敬畏之心[a],就榮耀神,因為他賜給人這樣的權柄。
呼召馬太
9 耶穌從那裡往前走,看見一個叫馬太的人在稅關坐著。耶穌對他說:「你跟從我!」馬太就站起來,跟從了耶穌。
10 耶穌在屋子裡坐席,這時候來了許多稅吏和罪人,與耶穌和他的門徒們一同坐席。 11 有些法利賽人看見了,就對耶穌的門徒們說:「你們的老師為什麼與那些稅吏和罪人一起吃飯呢?」
12 耶穌聽見了就說:「健康的人不需要醫生,有病的人才需要。 13 你們去學『我要的是憐憫,而不是祭祀』[b]這話是什麼意思吧!我來不是要召喚義人,而是要召喚罪人[c]。」
禁食的問題
14 隨後,約翰的門徒們前來問耶穌:「為什麼我們和法利賽人經常[d]禁食,而你的門徒們卻不禁食呢?」
15 耶穌對他們說:「新郎與賓客[e]在一起的時候,難道賓客能悲傷嗎?可是日子將要來到:當新郎從他們中間被帶走的時候,他們那時就要禁食了。 16 沒有人把沒縮過水的布塊補在舊衣服上,因為所補上的布塊會扯壞衣服,造成更大的裂口。 17 也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裡,否則皮袋會脹破,酒會流出來,皮袋也被糟蹋了;相反,他們是把新酒裝在新皮袋裡,這樣兩者都保全了。」
少女復活、婦人痊癒
18 耶穌正對他們講這些事的時候,忽然有一個會堂[f]主管來拜他,說:「我的女兒剛才死了,求你來按手在她身上,她就會活了。」 19 於是耶穌起身跟著他去,他的門徒們也跟著去了。
20 這時候,忽然有一個患血漏十二年的女人,從耶穌後面過來,摸了一下耶穌的衣服穗子, 21 原來她心裡想:「只要我摸到他的衣服,就會得救治。」
22 耶穌轉過身來看著她,說:「女兒,鼓起勇氣吧!你的信救了你。」從那一刻起,那個女人就得了救治。
23 耶穌來到那會堂[g]主管的家,看見吹笛的人和慌亂的人群, 24 就說:「你們退去吧!這女孩不是死了,而是睡了。」他們就譏笑他。 25 那群人被趕出去以後,耶穌進去,握著女孩的手,那女孩就起來了。 26 於是,這消息傳遍了那整個地區。
開盲人的眼睛
27 耶穌從那裡往前走,有兩個瞎眼的跟著他,呼叫說:「大衛的後裔,可憐我們吧!」
28 耶穌進了屋子,那兩個瞎眼的來到他面前。耶穌問他們:「你們相信我能做這件事嗎?」
他們回答說:「主啊,是的,我們信[h]。」
29 於是耶穌摸他們的眼睛,說:「照著你們所信的,給你們成全吧。」 30 他們的眼睛就開了。耶穌嚴厲地告誡他們:「你們要注意,不可讓任何人知道。」 31 但他們一出去,就把耶穌的消息傳遍了那整個地區。
驅趕鬼魔
32 兩個人離去了。這時候有幾個人把一個有鬼魔附身的啞巴帶到耶穌那裡。 33 鬼魔一被趕出去,啞巴就說出話來。眾人都感到驚奇,他們說:「這樣的事,在以色列從來沒有見過。」
34 但法利賽人卻說:「他是靠鬼魔的王驅趕鬼魔的。」[i]
工作多工人少
35 耶穌走遍各個城鎮鄉村,在他們的會堂裡教導人,傳天國的福音,並且使[j]各樣的疾病和各樣的症狀痊癒。 36 耶穌看見眾人,就對他們動了憐憫之心,因為他們困苦流離,像羊沒有牧人那樣。 37 於是他對自己的門徒們說:「收割的工作[k]多,而工人少。 38 所以你們要祈求收割[l]的主催促工人參與他的收割工作[m]。」

Matthew 9
New International Version
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)
9 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.(B) 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man,(C) lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith,(D) he said to the man, “Take heart,(E) son; your sins are forgiven.”(F)
3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”(G)
4 Knowing their thoughts,(H) Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(I) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God,(J) who had given such authority to man.
The Calling of Matthew(K)
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(L) he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(M)
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a](N) For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(O)
Jesus Questioned About Fasting(P)
14 Then John’s(Q) disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often,(R) but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?(S) The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.(T)
16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(U)
18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him(V) and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her,(W) and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.
20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.(X) 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart,(Y) daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.”(Z) And the woman was healed at that moment.(AA)
23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,(AB) 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead(AC) but asleep.”(AD) But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.(AE) 26 News of this spread through all that region.(AF)
Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”(AG)
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.(AH)
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”;(AI) 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.”(AJ) 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.(AK)
32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed(AL) and could not talk(AM) was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”(AN)
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”(AO)
The Workers Are Few
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.(AP) 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them,(AQ) because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.(AR) 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest(AS) is plentiful but the workers are few.(AT) 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Matthew 9
English Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
9 And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to (A)his own city. 2 (B)And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus (C)saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, (D)“Take heart, my son; (E)your sins are forgiven.” 3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, (F)“This man is blaspheming.” 4 But Jesus, (G)knowing[a] their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 7 And he rose and went home. 8 When the crowds saw it, (H)they were afraid, and (I)they glorified God, who had (J)given such authority to men.
Jesus Calls Matthew
9 (K)As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called (L)Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
10 And as Jesus[b] reclined at table in the house, behold, many (M)tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, (N)“Why does your teacher eat with (O)tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn (P)what this means: (Q)‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For (R)I came not to call the righteous, (S)but sinners.”
A Question About Fasting
14 Then (T)the disciples of John came to him, saying, (U)“Why do we and (V)the Pharisees fast,[c] but your disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus said to them, (W)“Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? (X)The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and (Y)then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. 17 Neither is new wine put into old (Z)wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
18 (AA)While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and (AB)knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman (AC)who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched (AD)the fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, (AE)“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” (AF)And instantly[d] the woman was made well. 23 And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw (AG)the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away, for (AH)the girl is not dead but (AI)sleeping.” And they laughed at him. 25 But (AJ)when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and (AK)took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went through all that district.
Jesus Heals Two Blind Men
27 (AL)And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, (AM)Son of David.” 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 (AN)Then he touched their eyes, saying, (AO)“According to your faith let it be done to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, (AP)“See that no one knows about it.” 31 (AQ)But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
Jesus Heals a Man Unable to Speak
32 As they were going away, behold, a (AR)demon-oppressed man who was mute (AS)was brought to him. 33 And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds (AT)marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”
The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few
35 (AU)And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 (AV)When he saw the crowds, (AW)he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, (AX)like sheep without a shepherd. 37 (AY)Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore (AZ)pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to (BA)send out laborers into his harvest.”
