马可福音 1:14-3:12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
呼召四渔夫
14 约翰被捕后,耶稣来到加利利宣讲上帝的福音,说: 15 “时候到了,上帝的国临近了,你们要悔改,相信福音。”
16 耶稣沿着加利利湖边走,看见两个渔夫——西门和他的弟弟安得烈正在湖上撒网捕鱼。 17 耶稣对他们说:“来跟从我!我要使你们成为得人的渔夫。” 18 他们立刻抛下渔网,跟从了耶稣。
19 耶稣往前走了不远,又看见西庇太的两个儿子雅各和约翰正在船上补网, 20 便立刻呼召他们。他们就辞别父亲和船上的工人,跟从了耶稣。
传道赶鬼
21 他们到了迦百农,耶稣在安息日去会堂里讲道。 22 那里的人都很吃惊,因为祂教导他们时像个有权柄的人,不像律法教师。 23 当时会堂里有一个被污鬼附身的人喊道: 24 “拿撒勒的耶稣啊,我们和你有什么关系?你是来毁灭我们吗?我知道你是谁,你是上帝的圣者!”
25 耶稣责备它说:“住口,从他身上出来!”
26 污鬼使那人抽搐了一阵,大叫一声,就出来了。 27 在场的人十分惊讶,彼此议论说:“这是怎么回事?真是充满权柄的新教导啊!竟然连污鬼都服从祂的命令。” 28 于是,耶稣的名声立刻传遍了整个加利利。
医病赶鬼
29 耶稣同雅各和约翰离开会堂,来到西门和安得烈家。 30 当时西门的岳母正发烧,躺在床上,他们立刻把这事告诉耶稣。 31 耶稣走到她的床边,拉着她的手扶她起来,她的烧立刻退了,便起来服侍他们。
32 日落之后,有人把病人和被鬼附身的人都带来见耶稣。 33 全城的人都聚在门前。 34 耶稣医好了许多患各种疾病的人,又赶出很多鬼。祂不准鬼说话,因为鬼认识祂。
在加利利传道
35 第二天清早,天还没亮,耶稣就起来独自走到旷野去祷告。 36 西门和同伴们四处寻找耶稣, 37 找到了,便对祂说:“大家都在找你呢!”
38 耶稣却回答说:“我们到附近的乡镇去吧,我也好在那里传道,因为我就是为这事来的。”
39 于是,耶稣走遍加利利,在各会堂传道,赶鬼。
治好麻风病人
40 有一次,一个患麻风病的人来到耶稣面前,跪下央求:“只要你肯,一定能使我洁净。”
41 耶稣动了慈心,就伸手摸他,说:“我肯,你洁净了吧!” 42 那人的麻风病立即消失了,他就洁净了。 43 耶稣让他回去并郑重地叮嘱: 44 “不要把这事告诉别人,要去让祭司察看你的身体,并照摩西的规定献祭,向众人证明你已经洁净了。”
45 但那人离开之后,却到处传扬这件事,以致耶稣无法再公开进城。祂只能待在城外的旷野,可是人们仍从各处来找祂。
治好瘫子
2 几天后,耶稣回到迦百农。祂在家的消息一传开, 2 立刻有许多人蜂拥而来,连门外也挤满了人。耶稣正给他们讲道的时候, 3 有四个人抬着一个瘫痪的人来见祂。 4 但因为人太多,他们无法抬到耶稣跟前,就拆掉屋顶,对准耶稣所坐的地方,将瘫子连垫子一起缒下去。 5 耶稣看见他们的信心,就对瘫子说:“孩子,你的罪被赦免了!” 6 有几个律法教师坐在那里,心里议论说: 7 “这是什么话?简直是亵渎上帝!除了上帝之外,谁能赦罪呢?”
8 耶稣立刻看透了他们的心思,就说:“你们为什么这样心里议论呢? 9 对瘫子说‘你的罪得到赦免了’容易呢,还是说‘起来,收拾你的垫子走吧’容易呢? 10 但我要让你们知道人子在世上有赦罪的权柄。”于是祂对瘫子说: 11 “我吩咐你起来收拾你的垫子回家去吧。” 12 那人就站起来,马上收拾好垫子,当着众人的面走了出去。众人都十分惊奇,赞美上帝说:“我们从来没见过这样的事!”
呼召利未
13 耶稣又出去到了湖边。有一大群人围拢过来,祂就教导他们。 14 耶稣往前走的时候,看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在收税站里工作,就对他说:“跟从我!”利未就起来跟从了耶稣。
15 后来,利未请耶稣和祂的门徒到家里坐席,同席的还有很多已经跟随耶稣的税吏和罪人。 16 有几位法利赛人的律法教师看见耶稣跟税吏和罪人同席,就问耶稣的门徒:“祂怎么会跟这些税吏和罪人一起吃饭呢?”
17 耶稣听见了,就说:“健康的人不需要医生,有病的人才需要。我来不是要召义人,乃是要召罪人。”
论禁食
18 约翰的门徒和法利赛人都在禁食的时候,有人来问耶稣:“约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒禁食,为什么你的门徒不禁食呢?”
19 耶稣对他们说:“新郎还在的时候,宾客怎能在婚宴中禁食呢?新郎还跟他们在一起的时候,他们不该禁食。 20 但有一天新郎将被带走,那时他们就要禁食了。
21 “没有人会用新布来补旧衣服,因为新布会把旧衣服扯破,破洞会更大; 22 也没有人把新酒倒进旧皮囊里,否则新酒会胀破旧皮囊,酒和皮囊都毁了。所以,新酒一定要装在新皮囊里。”
安息日的主
23 一个安息日,耶稣和门徒走过一片麦田,门徒一边走一边搓麦穗吃。 24 法利赛人批评耶稣说:“看看你的门徒,他们为什么做安息日不准做的事?”
25 耶稣回答说:“大卫和他的部下在饥饿、缺粮时所做的事,你们没有读过吗? 26 在亚比亚他做大祭司时,他进入上帝的殿吃了献给上帝的供饼,还给他的部下吃。这饼只有祭司才可以吃。 27 安息日是为人设立的,人不是为安息日设立的。 28 所以,人子也是安息日的主。”
治好手枯的人
3 耶稣又进了会堂,那里有个人一只手是萎缩的。 2 当时有好些人密切地监视耶稣,看祂是否会在安息日医治这个人,好找借口控告祂。
3 耶稣对那一只手萎缩的人说:“起来,站在中间。” 4 然后问众人:“在安息日应该行善还是作恶?救人还是害人?”他们都不吭声。
5 耶稣生气地看着四周这些人,为他们的心刚硬而感到极其难过。祂对那人说:“把手伸出来!”那人一伸手,手就立刻复原了。 6 法利赛人离开后,立刻和希律党的人策划怎样除掉耶稣。
群众跟随耶稣
7 耶稣和门徒退到湖边,有一大群人从加利利来跟随祂。 8 还有很多人听见耶稣所做的一切,就从犹太、耶路撒冷、以土买、约旦河东,甚至泰尔和西顿一带来找祂。 9 耶稣见人多,就吩咐门徒为祂预备一条小船,以免人群拥挤祂。 10 因为祂医好了很多人,凡有疾病的人都想挤过来摸祂。 11 每当污鬼看见祂,就俯伏在祂面前,大喊:“你是上帝的儿子!” 12 耶稣却严厉地吩咐它们不要泄露祂的身份。
馬 可 福 音 1:14-3:12
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣传教在加利利开始
14 在这之后,约翰被捕入狱,耶稣来到加利利,传播上帝的福音, 15 他说∶“时刻到了。上帝的王国临近了。悔改吧,要相信上帝的福音!”
耶稣挑选门徒
16 耶稣沿着加利利湖行走时,看见西门 [a]和他兄弟安得烈,弟兄俩是渔夫,他们正在撒网捕鱼。 17 耶稣对他俩说∶“耶稣对他们说∶“来跟从我,我要使你们成为另一种渔夫,你们将得人而不是得鱼。” 18 他们立刻扔下鱼网,跟随了耶稣。
19 耶稣继续沿湖行走,他还看见另外俩兄弟,他们是西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰,他们正在船上准备鱼网。 20 耶稣立刻召呼他们,弟兄俩便离开父亲西庇太和船上的帮工,跟着耶稣走了。
耶稣解救一个邪灵附体的人
21 耶稣和他的门徒来到迦百农。安息日那天,耶稣来到犹太会堂教导人们。 22 人们都对他的教导非常惊讶,因为他与其他的律法师不同,他教导人时像一位有权威的人。 23 当时,会堂里有个人被邪灵附体,叫喊着: 24 “拿撒勒的耶稣!你要把我们怎么样?你是要来毁灭我们的吗?我知道你是谁,你是上帝的圣者!”
25 耶稣喝斥邪灵说∶“住口!离开这个人!” 26 邪灵趋使那人颤抖起来,然后大叫一声,离开了那人的身体。
27 众人都惊得目瞪口呆,彼此议论说∶“这是怎么回事?这是全新的教导,这人带着权威在教导!他居然能命令邪灵,让他们服服贴贴!” 28 从此,有关耶稣的事情就很快传遍了加利利地区。
耶稣治好了许多病人
29 耶稣和他的门徒离开了会堂。他们和雅各、约翰一齐来到西门和安得烈的家里去, 30 此时正赶上西门的岳母发烧躺在床上。耶稣一到,有人就把这事情告诉了他。 31 耶稣来到她的床边,握住她的手,扶她坐了起来,烧就退了,于是她开始招待他们。
32 当太阳落山,夜幕降临的时候,人们带着各种病人和被鬼附体的人来找耶稣。 33 全城的人都守在门外。 34 耶稣为很多人治好了各种各样的病,驱走了很多鬼。可是他不许鬼讲话,因为他们都知道他是谁。
耶稣去其它城镇
35 第二天一大早,天还没有亮,耶稣就出了门,到一个偏僻的地方做祈祷。 36 西门与和他在一起的人四处寻找他。 37 找到了耶稣后,他们说∶“大家都在找您呢。”
38 耶稣答道∶“我们该到附近其它城镇去了,这样我也能在那些地方传道。这就是我来到这里的原因。” 39 就这样,耶稣走遍了加利利地区,在会堂里传道、驱鬼。
耶稣治病
40 有个麻风病人来见耶稣,跪下来恳求他说∶“只要您愿意,您就能治好我的病。”
41 最后这句话让耶稣发怒了,但是他伸手摸了那人,说道∶“我愿意,痊愈吧!” 42 话到病除,那人的病立刻好了。
43 耶稣吩咐他离开,并且郑重地告诫他: 44 “记住,不要把我为你做的事告诉任何人,但是,你要到祭司那里去让他查看。因为你已被治愈,还要向上帝献上礼物,即摩西所命令 [b]的礼物,向每个人表明你已痊愈了。” 45 可是那人一离开耶稣,就把这事四处宣传,有关耶稣的消息传开了。这样一来,耶稣就不能在城里公开露面了。他只好呆在偏僻的地方,但是人们仍旧从四面八方来到他那里。
治好瘸腿的人
2 过了些日子,耶稣回到迦百农。耶稣回家的消息也随之传开了。 2 很多人来见耶稣,房子挤得满满的,甚至连门外都没空地,耶稣开始教导人们。 3 此时,有四个人抬着抬着一个瘫痪病人来到他那里。 4 因为屋子里挤满了人,他们无法把瘫痪病人抬到耶稣身边, 只好把耶稣上方的房顶拆开一个洞,把瘫痪病人躺着的垫子从洞口缒下来。 5 耶稣看到他们有如此的信仰,便对瘫痪病人说∶“年轻人,你的罪孽被宽恕了。”
6 一些律法师坐在那里,心想: 7 “这个人怎么竟然这样讲话呢?他在亵渎上帝!除了上帝,谁又能宽恕罪孽呢?”
8 耶稣立刻看出这些人的心思,便对他们说∶“你们为什么心怀这些疑问呢? 9 两者相比,哪个更容易呢?是对这个瘫痪病人说‘你的罪被宽恕了,’容易,还是说:‘站起来!拿着铺盖走吧,’容易呢? 10 我要向你们证实,人子在世间有宽恕罪孽的权力。”然后对瘫痪病人说: 11 “我吩咐你站起来!拿上你的铺盖,走回家去吧。” 12 瘫痪病人就站了起来,立即拿起铺盖,在众目睽睽之下走出了屋子。人们对此都惊讶极了,赞美上帝说∶“我们从来没有见过这样的稀罕事。”
利未(马太)跟随耶稣
13 耶稣又来到加利利湖边。许多人跟随他到了那里,耶稣便教导他们。 14 耶稣在湖边行走时,看见亚勒腓的儿子利未正坐在收税的地方,耶稣对利未说∶“跟随我!”利未便起身跟随了耶稣。
15 当天晚些时候,耶稣和门徒们到利未家吃饭。有许多税吏和名声不好的人也成为耶稣的门徒,所以他们当中的许多人也在那里与他们一起吃饭。 16 一些法利赛人的律法师看到耶稣和这些人一起吃饭,就问他的门徒∶“他为什么与税吏和罪人一起吃饭?”
17 耶稣听见了,就对律法师们说∶“健康人不需要医生,需要医生的是那些有病的人。我不是来召唤正直人的,而是来召唤罪人的。”
耶稣不像其他的宗教领袖
18 这时正赶上约翰的门徒和法利赛人在禁食,一些人来问耶稣说∶“为什么约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒禁食,而您的门徒却不禁食?”
19 耶稣回答说∶“在婚礼上,当新郎和朋友在一起时,他的朋友们不悲伤。当新郎在场时,他们也不可能禁食。 20 但是,新郎迟早要离开他们的,那时他们会感到悲伤而禁食。
21 “没有人会用没有缩过水的新布去补旧衣服,因为补钉一缩水,会把原来的破洞扯得更大了。 22 谁也不会把新酒装进旧酒囊里,否则,新酒会撑破旧酒囊,结果酒和酒囊两样东西都被毁了。你们总是把新酒装到新酒囊里。”
耶稣是安息日的主
23 在一个安息日里,耶稣和门徒经过一片庄稼地,他的门徒边走边摘麦穗吃。 24 法利赛人看见了,就对耶稣说∶“瞧,他们为什么在安息日里做违法的事情呢?”
25 耶稣说∶“难道你们不曾在书上读到过大卫 [c]和他的手下人在饥饿和缺乏的时候是怎样做的吗? 26 那还是在亚比亚他当大祭司的时候,大卫就到上帝的大殿里吃了献给上帝的贡饼。摩西律法说,除了祭司之外,别人吃这些东西是不合法的。大卫还是拿了一些分给了手下的人。”
27 然后,耶稣对法利赛人说∶“安息日是为人设立的,而人却不是为了安息日而造的。 28 所以,人子才是每一天的主,甚至也是安息日的主。”
耶稣在安息日里为人治病
3 耶稣又来到了犹太会堂。那里有个人的手残废了。 2 一些犹太人想抓住把柄来控告耶稣,就密切地注视着他,看他是否为这个人治病。 3 耶稣对那个手残的人说∶“你站到大家面前来!”
4 接着他对众人说∶“在安息日,人应该做好事呢,还是应该做坏事?应该救人呢,还是应该杀人?”但是没人作声。
5 耶稣气愤地看着这些人们。他很为他们的顽固而忧伤,耶稣对残手人说∶“把手伸出来。”那人一伸手,手便被治好了。 6 法利赛人离开了,他们去和希律党人定计,想法杀掉耶稣。
众人跟随耶稣
7 耶稣和门徒们离开当地到加利利湖去。很多人跟随着他们,这些人来自加利利、犹太地、 8 耶路撒冷、以土买、约旦河对岸和推罗、西顿等地。这些人都是听说了耶稣所作所为来跟随他的。 9 因为人多,耶稣让门徒为他准备一条小船,以免受到拥挤。 10 耶稣为很多人治好了病,结果,凡是有病的人都拼命朝他身边挤,想要触摸他。 11 邪灵只要一见到耶稣,就匍匐在他面前,大叫道∶“你是上帝之子!” 12 耶稣厉声警告他们,不许他们告诉人们他是谁。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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。
治好癱子
2 幾天後,耶穌回到迦百農。祂在家的消息一傳開, 2 立刻有許多人蜂擁而來,連門外也擠滿了人。耶穌正給他們講道的時候, 3 有四個人抬著一個癱瘓的人來見祂。 4 但因為人太多,他們無法抬到耶穌跟前,就拆掉屋頂,對準耶穌所坐的地方,將癱子連墊子一起縋下去。 5 耶穌看見他們的信心,就對癱子說:「孩子,你的罪被赦免了!」 6 有幾個律法教師坐在那裡,心裡議論說: 7 「這是什麼話?簡直是褻瀆上帝!除了上帝之外,誰能赦罪呢?」
8 耶穌立刻看透了他們的心思,就說:「你們為什麼這樣心裡議論呢? 9 對癱子說『你的罪得到赦免了』容易呢,還是說『起來,收拾你的墊子走吧』容易呢? 10 但我要讓你們知道人子在世上有赦罪的權柄。」於是祂對癱子說: 11 「我吩咐你起來收拾你的墊子回家去吧。」 12 那人就站起來,馬上收拾好墊子,當著眾人的面走了出去。眾人都十分驚奇,讚美上帝說:「我們從來沒見過這樣的事!」
呼召利未
13 耶穌又出去到了湖邊。有一大群人圍攏過來,祂就教導他們。 14 耶穌往前走的時候,看見亞勒腓的兒子利未坐在收稅站裡工作,就對他說:「跟從我!」利未就起來跟從了耶穌。
15 後來,利未請耶穌和祂的門徒到家裡坐席,同席的還有很多已經跟隨耶穌的稅吏和罪人。 16 有幾位法利賽人的律法教師看見耶穌跟稅吏和罪人同席,就問耶穌的門徒:「祂怎麼會跟這些稅吏和罪人一起吃飯呢?」
17 耶穌聽見了,就說:「健康的人不需要醫生,有病的人才需要。我來不是要召義人,乃是要召罪人。」
論禁食
18 約翰的門徒和法利賽人都在禁食的時候,有人來問耶穌:「約翰的門徒和法利賽人的門徒禁食,為什麼你的門徒不禁食呢?」
19 耶穌對他們說:「新郎還在的時候,賓客怎能在婚宴中禁食呢?新郎還跟他們在一起的時候,他們不該禁食。 20 但有一天新郎將被帶走,那時他們就要禁食了。
21 「沒有人會用新布來補舊衣服,因為新布會把舊衣服扯破,破洞會更大; 22 也沒有人把新酒倒進舊皮囊裡,否則新酒會漲破舊皮囊,酒和皮囊都毀了。所以,新酒一定要裝在新皮囊裡。」
安息日的主
23 一個安息日,耶穌和門徒走過一片麥田,門徒一邊走一邊搓麥穗吃。 24 法利賽人批評耶穌說:「看看你的門徒,他們為什麼做安息日不准做的事?」
25 耶穌回答說:「大衛和他的部下在饑餓、缺糧時所做的事,你們沒有讀過嗎? 26 在亞比亞他做大祭司時,他進入上帝的殿吃了獻給上帝的供餅,還給他的部下吃。這餅只有祭司才可以吃。 27 安息日是為人設立的,人不是為安息日設立的。 28 所以,人子也是安息日的主。」
治好手枯的人
3 耶穌又進了會堂,那裡有個人一隻手是萎縮的。 2 當時有好些人密切地監視耶穌,看祂是否會在安息日醫治這個人,好找藉口控告祂。
3 耶穌對那一隻手萎縮的人說:「起來,站在中間。」 4 然後問眾人:「在安息日應該行善還是作惡?救人還是害人?」他們都不吭聲。
5 耶穌生氣地看著四周這些人,為他們的心剛硬而感到極其難過。祂對那人說:「把手伸出來!」那人一伸手,手就立刻復原了。 6 法利賽人離開後,立刻和希律黨的人策劃怎樣除掉耶穌。
群眾跟隨耶穌
7 耶穌和門徒退到湖邊,有一大群人從加利利來跟隨祂。 8 還有很多人聽見耶穌所做的一切,就從猶太、耶路撒冷、以土買、約旦河東,甚至泰爾和西頓一帶來找祂。 9 耶穌見人多,就吩咐門徒為祂預備一條小船,以免人群擁擠祂。 10 因為祂醫好了很多人,凡有疾病的人都想擠過來摸祂。 11 每當污鬼看見祂,就俯伏在祂面前,大喊:「你是上帝的兒子!」 12 耶穌卻嚴厲地吩咐牠們不要洩露祂的身分。
Mark 1:14-3:12
New International Version
Jesus Announces the Good News(A)
14 After John(B) was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee,(C) proclaiming the good news of God.(D) 15 “The time has come,”(E) he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe(F) the good news!”(G)
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 18 At once they left their nets and followed him.(H)
19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(I)
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.(J) 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.(K) 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us,(L) Jesus of Nazareth?(M) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”(N)
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”(O) 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.(P)
27 The people were all so amazed(Q) that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region(R) of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many(S)(T)
29 As soon as they left the synagogue,(U) they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up.(V) The fever left her and she began to wait on them.
32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.(W) 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.(X) He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.(Y)
Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place(Z)
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.(AA) 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”(AB) 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues(AC) and driving out demons.(AD)
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(AE)
40 A man with leprosy[a] came to him and begged him on his knees,(AF) “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 Jesus was indignant.[b] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
43 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44 “See that you don’t tell this to anyone.(AG) But go, show yourself to the priest(AH) and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing,(AI) as a testimony to them.” 45 Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places.(AJ) Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.(AK)
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(AL)
2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers(AM) that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man,(AN) carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”(AO)
6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(AP)
8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(AQ) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God,(AR) saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”(AS)
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(AT)
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him,(AU) and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(AV) Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees(AW) saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(AX)
17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(AY)
Jesus Questioned About Fasting(AZ)
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.(BA) Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”
19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them,(BB) and on that day they will fast.
21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(BC)(BD)
23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.(BE) 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(BF)
25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest,(BG) he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat.(BH) And he also gave some to his companions.”(BI)
27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man,(BJ) not man for the Sabbath.(BK) 28 So the Son of Man(BL) is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
3 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue,(BM) and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(BN) to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.(BO) 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”
4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians(BP) how they might kill Jesus.(BQ)
Crowds Follow Jesus(BR)
7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.(BS) 8 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.(BT) 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many,(BU) so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.(BV) 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”(BW) 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.(BX)
