馬 太 福 音 8
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣治愈麻风病人
8 耶稣下山时，身后跟着一大群人。 2 一个麻风病人来见耶稣，跪在他面前说∶“先生，如果您愿意，您就能治好我的麻疯病！” 3 耶稣伸出手摸着他说∶“我愿意，痊愈吧！”立刻，麻疯病人就痊愈了。 4 耶稣对他说∶“不要把这事告诉任何人，但是，你要到祭司那里去让他查看，还要献上礼物，即摩西命令被治愈人所献的礼物，向每个人表明你已痊愈了。” [a]
耶稣治愈军官的仆人
5 耶稣到迦百农去了，当他进城时，一个罗马军官来见他，请求他的帮助。 6 罗马军官说∶“主啊，我的仆人病重卧床不起。他瘫痪了，非常痛苦。” 7 耶稣对他说∶“我这就去给他治病。”
8 罗马军官说∶“主啊，我不配请您进我家。您只要吩咐一声，我的仆人就会得到治愈的。 9 我知道您做得到，因为我上有长官，下有士兵。如果我叫一个士兵∶‘走开！’他就乖乖地走开；如果我命令另一个∶‘过来！’他就会乖乖地过来。要是我对仆人说∶‘你去干这个’，他就得去干。”
10 耶稣听到这些话，非常惊讶，对他身边的人说∶“说实话，甚至在以色列 [b]，我还没有见到过比他更有信仰的人。 11 我告诉你们，还有很多这样的人会从东方和西方到这里来，他们会在天国的宴席上，与亚伯拉罕，以撒和雅各 [c]一起进餐。 12 而那些本来是天国的继承人，却反而要被驱逐到外边的黑暗里去，他们将在那里咬牙切齿地痛哭。”
13 耶稣对罗马军官说∶“你回家吧，你将如愿以偿。”与此同时，军官的仆人立刻被治愈了。
耶稣治愈许多病人
14 当耶稣来到彼得家里时，看到彼得的岳母发高烧，躺在床上。 15 耶稣一碰她的手，烧就退了，于是她便起来开始招待耶稣。
16 那天晚上，人们带着许多被鬼附体的人来见耶稣，耶稣只用一句话就赶走了所有的鬼。他还治好了所有的病人。 17 这就应验了先知以赛亚的预言：
“他解除了我们的疾病，
他承担了我们的病患。” (A)
跟随耶稣
18 耶稣看见身边围着许多人，就吩咐他们到湖对岸去。 19 一位律法师走过来，对耶稣说∶“老师，无论您走到哪里，我都跟随着您。” 20 耶稣对他说∶“狐狸有穴，飞鸟有巢，可 是人子连枕头的地方都没有。” [d] 21 有一个门徒对耶稣说∶“主，我会跟随你， 但是，请先让我回去埋葬我的父亲。” 22 但是，耶稣对他说∶“跟我走，让死人去埋葬他们自己的死人吧。”
门徒目睹耶稣的力量
23 耶稣登上一条船，门徒们与他同行。 24 船离开岸后，湖面上狂风大作，波浪淹没了甲板。这时耶稣却在睡觉 25 门徒们过去把他叫醒， 说∶“主，救救我们吧！我们就要被淹死了。”
26 耶稣对他们说∶“你们为什么害怕呢？你们的信仰不够强。”于是，耶稣站起身来喝斥狂风和湖水，风便停了，湖面也变得非常平静。
27 人们惊叹不已，说∶“他是什么人？连风和水浪都服从他。”
耶稣从两人身上驱鬼
28 耶稣到达湖对岸加大拉 [e]人居住的地区。他遇见两个从墓穴里出来的人，他们被鬼附体，非常凶恶，没人能从他们坟边的那条路上经过。 29 他们对耶稣喊叫∶“您要怎样处置我们呢，上帝之子？在约定的时刻到来之前，你就要惩罚我们吗？”
30 这时，远处有一大群猪在吃食。 31 鬼乞求耶稣说∶“如果你要把我们从这两个人身上赶走，就把我们派到猪群里去吧。”
32 耶稣对他们说∶“你们去吧。”鬼就离开那两个人，钻到猪身上去了。于是，整个猪群狂奔下山崖，掉进湖里淹死了。 33 放猪的人跑到了城里，把所发生的事情一五一十地告诉给人们，特别是关于被鬼附体的那些人遇到的事情。 34 人们倾城而出来见耶稣。他们见到耶稣后，就央求他离开此地。

Matthew 8
GOD’S WORD Translation
Jesus Cures a Man with a Skin Disease(A)
8 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
2 A man with a serious skin disease came and bowed down in front of him. The man said to Jesus, “Sir, if you’re willing, you can make me clean.” [a]
3 Jesus reached out, touched him, and said, “I’m willing. So be clean!” Immediately, his skin disease went away, and he was clean.
4 Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this! Instead, show yourself to the priest. Then offer the sacrifice Moses commanded as proof to people that you are clean.”
A Believing Army Officer(B)
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to beg him for help. 6 The officer said, “Sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain.”
7 Jesus said to him, “I’ll come to heal him.”
8 The officer responded, “Sir, I don’t deserve to have you come into my house. But just give a command, and my servant will be healed. 9 As you know, I’m in a chain of command and have soldiers at my command. I tell one of them, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 Jesus was amazed when he heard this. He said to those who were following him, “I can guarantee this truth: I haven’t found faith as great as this in anyone in Israel. 11 I can guarantee that many will come from all over the world. They will eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 The citizens of that kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.”
13 Jesus told the officer, “Go! What you believed will be done for you.” And at that moment the servant was healed.
Jesus Cures Peter’s Mother-in-Law and Many Others(C)
14 When Jesus went to Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law in bed with a fever. 15 Jesus touched her hand, and the fever went away. So she got up and prepared a meal for him.
16 In the evening the people brought him many who were possessed by demons. He forced the ⌞evil⌟ spirits out of people with a command and cured everyone who was sick. 17 So what the prophet Isaiah had said came true: “He took away our weaknesses and removed our diseases.”
18 Now, when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he ordered ⌞his disciples⌟ to cross to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.
What It Takes to Be a Disciple(D)
19 An expert in Moses’ Teachings came to him and said, “Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”
20 Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to sleep.”
21 Another disciple said to him, “Sir, first let me go to bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Sea(E)
23 Jesus’ disciples went with him as he left in a boat. 24 Suddenly, a severe storm came across the sea. The waves were covering the boat. Yet, Jesus was sleeping.
25 So they woke him up, saying, “Lord! Save us! We’re going to die!”
26 Jesus said to them, “Why do you cowards have so little faith?” Then he got up, gave an order to the wind and the sea, and the sea became very calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”
Jesus Cures Two Demon-Possessed Men(F)
28 When he arrived in the territory of the Gadarenes on the other side ⌞of the Sea of Galilee⌟, two men met him. They were possessed by demons and had come out of the tombs. No one could travel along that road because the men were so dangerous.
29 They shouted, “Why are you bothering us now, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before it is time?”
30 A large herd of pigs was feeding in the distance. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you’re going to force us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”
32 Jesus said to them, “Go!” The demons came out and went into the pigs. Suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water. 33 Those who took care of the pigs ran into the city. There they reported everything, especially about the men possessed by demons.
34 Everyone from the city went to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their territory.
