在拿撒勒被拒绝

耶稣离开那地方,来到自己的家乡,他的门徒们也跟着他。 到了安息日,他开始在会堂里教导人。许多人听了就惊叹不已,说:“这个人从哪里得来这些呢?赐给这个人的到底是什么样的智慧?藉着他的手所行出来的到底是怎么样的神迹? 这不就是那木匠吗?不就是玛丽亚的儿子,雅各约西犹大西门的哥哥[a]吗?他的妹妹们[b]不也和我们在这里吗?”这样,他们就对耶稣很反感[c]

耶稣对他们说:“先知除了在本乡、本族、本家以外,没有不受尊重的。” 所以,耶稣无法在那里行什么神迹,只是按手在几个病人身上,使他们痊愈。 因为他们的不信,耶稣十分感慨。

差派十二使徒

于是,他就走遍各村庄四处教导人。 耶稣召来十二使徒[d],开始差派他们两个两个地出去,赐给他们权柄胜过污灵, 并且吩咐他们说:“在路上除了手杖什么都不要带。不要带食物,不要带行囊,腰包里也不要带钱。 要穿上鞋子。不要穿两件衣服[e]。” 10 他又对他们说:“无论在哪里,你们进了一家,就要住在哪里,直到离开那地方。 11 如果有什么地方的人不接受你们,也不听你们,你们离开那里的时候,要把脚底的尘土跺掉,做为对他们的见证。[f]

12 使徒们就出去宣讲道:人人都当悔改。 13 他们驱赶了很多鬼魔,又用油来膏抹许多病人,使他们痊愈。

施洗约翰之死

14 耶稣的名声被传扬出去,希律王也听见了。有些人[g]说:“施洗者[h]约翰从死人中复活了,所以这些能力在他里面做工。” 15 也有些人说:“他是以利亚。”还有些人说:“他是个先知,像古代[i]先知中的一位。”

16 希律听了却说:“是被我砍了头的约翰!这个人[j]复活了!” 17 原来,希律为了他弟弟[k]菲利普的妻子希罗迪娅的缘故,曾经派人去拘捕约翰,把他捆锁在监狱里。希律娶了这个女人, 18 约翰一直对希律说:“你占有自己兄弟的妻子是不可以的。” 19 所以希罗迪娅约翰怀恨在心,想要杀他,只是不能。 20 这是因为希律敬畏约翰,知道他是义人,是圣人,所以保护着他。希律约翰讲说的时候,虽然心里十分困惑[l],还是乐意听他的。

21 可是时机来了。希律在自己生日那天预备宴席,招待他的大臣和军官们,以及加利利的首领们。 22 希罗迪娅的女儿[m]进来跳舞,使希律和一同坐席的人都非常喜悦。王就对女孩说:“你无论想要什么,向我求,我就会给你。” 23 并且对她郑重地起誓:“你无论向我求什么,即使是我国家的一半,我也会给你!”

24 于是女孩出去问她母亲说:“我应该要什么呢?”

她母亲说:“要施洗者[n]约翰的头!”

25 女孩随即赶快进到王那里,要求说:“我愿王立即把施洗者[o]约翰的头放在盘子里给我。”

26 王就变得很忧愁,但因所起的誓,又因坐席的人,就不好拒绝她。 27 于是王立刻派了刽子手,命令把约翰的头拿来。刽子手就去,在监狱里砍下了约翰的头, 28 把他的头放在盘子上,端给女孩,女孩就把它交给了母亲。 29 约翰的门徒们听到了,就来把他的遗体领去,安放在坟墓里。

五饼二鱼

30 使徒们聚集到耶稣那里,把他们所做的和教导的一切告诉了他。 31 耶稣对他们说:“来,你们自己单独到一个荒僻的地方休息一会儿吧。”这是因为来往的人多,他们连吃饭的时间也没有。 32 于是他们悄悄地坐船出发,往一个荒僻的地方去。 33 可是众人[p]看见他们离开了,并且有许多人认出他们[q],就从各城镇一起徒步赶往那里,而且比他们先到了[r] 34 耶稣下了船,看见一大群人,就对他们动了怜悯之心,因为他们像羊没有牧人那样。耶稣就开始教导他们很多事。

35 天已经晚了,他的门徒们来到耶稣面前,说:“这是个荒僻的地方,而且天已经晚了。 36 请遣散大家,好让他们到周围的田舍和村庄去,为自己买些东西吃[s]。”

37 但耶稣回答他们,说:“你们给他们吃的吧。”

门徒们说:“要我们去买两百个银币[t]的饼给他们吃吗?”

38 耶稣问他们:“你们有多少饼呢?去看看。”

他们察看后,就说:“有五个,还有两条鱼。”

39 耶稣吩咐他们,叫众人一组一组地坐在青草地上。 40 众人就一群一群地坐了下来,有的一百人,有的五十人。 41 耶稣拿起这五个饼和两条鱼,抬头望天,祝福了,然后把饼掰开,不断递给他的门徒们,让他们分给众人。他把两条鱼也分给大家。 42 大家都吃了,并且吃饱了。 43 他们把饼和鱼的碎块收拾起来,装满了十二个篮子。 44 吃饼的人,男人就有五千。

在水面上行走

45 耶稣随即催促他的门徒们上船,要他们先往对岸的伯赛达去;这期间,他自己遣散了人群。 46 他告别了他们,就上山去祷告。 47 到了晚上,船在湖[u]中,只有耶稣一个人在岸上。 48 他看见门徒们由于逆风,划船非常艰苦。天快亮的时候[v],耶稣在湖面上行走,向他们而去,想要从他们旁边走过去。 49 门徒们看见耶稣在湖面上行走,以为是幽灵,于是喊叫起来, 50 因为他们都看见了他,就惊慌不安。耶稣立刻与他们讲话,对他们说:“鼓起勇气吧!是我,不要怕。” 51 接着,耶稣上了船和他们在一起。这时候风就停了。门徒们心里感到极其惊讶[w] 52 因为他们不领悟分[x]饼的事,他们还是硬着心。

在革尼撒勒治病

53 他们渡过去,到革尼撒勒上岸,把船拴好。 54 一下船,众人就认出了耶稣。 55 人们跑遍那整个地区,听到耶稣在哪里,就把有病的人用垫子抬到哪里。 56 无论耶稣进到哪里,或村庄、或城镇、或乡下,人们就把病人放在街市上,恳求耶稣只要让他们摸一下他的衣服穗子。凡是摸着的人,都得了救治。

耶稣回到家乡

耶稣离开那里,回到家乡,门徒们跟随他去了。 安息日到了,耶稣开始在犹太会堂里讲道。许多人听了,非常惊讶,他们说∶“这个人是从哪知道这些事情的?谁赐给了他如此的智慧?他从哪里获得行奇迹 [a]的力量? 他不就是个木匠吗?难道他不是马利亚的儿子吗?难道他不是雅各、约瑟、犹大和西门的兄弟吗?他的姐妹不是和我们一起在这里吗?”他们都难以接受耶稣。

耶稣对他们说∶“先知 [b]无论在哪里都受到尊敬,唯独在自己的故乡,他的乡亲和在自己家里得不到尊敬。” 在家乡,耶稣除了把手放在一些病人身上治愈他们外,没能行其它奇迹。 乡亲们没有信仰,让耶稣很吃惊,然后耶稣便到当地的其它村庄去传教。

耶稣派遣使徒传教

耶稣召集起十二使徒,派他们每两人结伴出去,并赐给他们制服邪灵的权力。 耶稣嘱咐门徒们:“旅行时,除了一根手杖之外,不要带任何东西,不要带面包、背包和钱。 你们可以穿鞋,但不要带多余的衣服。 10 你们无论走进哪一家,就在那一家住下,一直住到你们离开那里为止。 11 如果有哪个城镇不欢迎你们,或不听你们的,就离开那里,并且抖掉你们脚上的尘土 [c],做为对他们的警告。”

12 门徒们出去了,向人们传道说他们应该悔改。 13 他们赶走了许多鬼,给许多病人涂橄榄油 [d],治好了他们的病。

希律认为耶稣是施洗者约翰

14 耶稣的名声传遍了四方,就连希律 [e]王也听说了。有些人说∶“他是施洗者约翰,他肯定是死而复活了,所以他才能行这些奇迹。”

15 也有些人说∶“他是以利亚。”

其他一些人则说∶“他是先知, 他就像很久以前的一位先知。”

16 希律王听说了有关耶稣的事,便说∶“被我砍头的那个人约翰如今从死里复活了。”

施洗者约翰之死

17 以前,希律王亲自下令逮捕约翰并把他投进了监狱。他这么做是为了取悦妻子希罗底。她曾是希律的兄弟腓力的妻子,可是希律娶了这个女子。 18 约翰一直就告诉希律∶“你娶兄弟的妻子是不对的。” 19 希罗底因此忌恨约翰,一直想杀害他,只是无法杀他。 20 希律害怕杀害约翰,他知道约翰是个正直的圣人,所以把约翰保护起来。希律喜欢听约翰传道,但是约翰的传道令希律感到困惑。

21 然后,希罗底导致约翰死亡的机会来了。希律过生日那天,宴请文武群臣和加利利的显贵人物。 22 席间希罗底的女儿进来献舞,希律和宾客们都很开心。

于是希律对女孩说∶“你想要什么,我都给你。” 23 他对女孩发誓说∶“你要什么我都给你,哪怕是半壁江山都行!”

24 女孩出去问她母亲∶“我该要什么呢?”

她妈妈说∶“你去要施洗礼者约翰的人头。”

25 女孩急忙跑回希律身边,说∶“我要您立刻就把施洗者约翰的人头盛在盘子里端给我。”

26 希律王很难过,但是因为他当着客人的面对她发过誓,所以他不打算拒绝她。 27 希律立刻命令警卫去取约翰的人头。警卫到监狱里砍下约翰的头, 28 放在盘子里端给了女孩,女孩又把盘子端给母亲。 29 约翰的门徒们闻讯而来,为约翰收尸下葬。

耶稣让五千多人吃饱饭

30 耶稣派出去传道的使徒们回来了。他们聚在耶稣身边,向他讲述了自己所做和所教的一切。 31 因为许多人来来往往,让他们连吃饭的时间都没有。耶稣便对他的门徒们说∶“你们单独跟我来,咱们到一个安静的地方休息一下。”

32 所以,他们就上船到一个荒无人烟的地方去了。 33 但是很多人看见他们离开,并认出了他们。于是人们便急忙从各个城镇步行赶到那里,并且比他们先到了那里。 34 耶稣下船上岸后,看到一大群人,心中充满了怜悯,因为他们就像没有牧羊人的羊群,于是,他开始教导给他们很多道理。

35 天色已晚,门徒们来到他身边,对他说∶“这个地方很偏僻,而且天色已晚。 36 打发这些人走吧,以便他们能到附近的村村寨寨去买些东西吃。”

37 但是耶稣对他们说∶“你们给他们一些吃的东西。”

他们对耶稣说∶“要我们花一个月的工钱去买面包好给他们吃吗?”

38 耶稣说∶“你们去看看还有多少面包。”

门徒们数过之后,回来说∶“我们有五块面包和两条鱼。”

39 然后耶稣吩咐他们把人们分成一组、一组地坐在草地上, 40 于是人们按五十人或一百人一组地坐下。 41 耶稣拿起五块面包和两条鱼,举目望天,感谢上帝赐给的食物,然后他掰开面包,交给门徒,让他们分给大家。耶稣又把两条鱼分给了人们。

42 所有的人都吃饱了。 43 然后,他们把剩下的零碎面包和鱼收拾起来足足装满了十二筐。 44 在那里吃饭的人大约有五千个男人。

在水面上行走

45 然后,耶稣立刻叫门徒们上船,先到湖对岸的伯赛大去,他随后会过去,同时他解散了众人。 46 辞别了他们后,耶稣来到山上祈祷。

47 那天晚上,船已经驶到湖心,耶稣仍然独自呆在岸上。 48 他看见门徒们逆风划船非常吃力。大约在凌晨三到六点钟之间,耶稣向门徒们走来。他在水面上走来,几乎都要超过他们了。 49 但是当他们看见耶稣在水面上行走时,以为是鬼魂,都大叫起来。 50 他们都看见了他,吓得毛骨悚然,但是,耶稣对他们说∶“别担心!是我!不要害怕。” 51 然后耶稣上了他们的船,这时风也停了。门徒们都惊呆了, 52 因为他们连面包的事还没弄明白呢。他们还没有开窍。

耶稣治愈很多病人

53 他们渡过了湖,在革尼撒勒上了岸,拴好船。 54 一下船,人们就认出了耶稣。 55 整个地区的人奔走相告,无论耶稣走到哪里,当人们得知后,便用垫子抬着病人闻讯而来。 56 凡耶稣去的地方,不论是乡村城镇还是农场,人们把病人带到集市上,请求耶稣允许病人只摸一摸他的衣服。凡是摸过他衣服的病人都痊愈了。

A Prophet Without Honor(A)

Jesus left there and went to his hometown,(B) accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came,(C) he began to teach in the synagogue,(D) and many who heard him were amazed.(E)

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,[a] Judas and Simon?(F) Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.(G)

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”(H) He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on(I) a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(J)

Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.(K) Calling the Twelve to him,(L) he began to send them out two by two(M) and gave them authority over impure spirits.(N)

These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet(O) as a testimony against them.”

12 They went out and preached that people should repent.(P) 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil(Q) and healed them.

John the Baptist Beheaded(R)(S)

14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,[b] “John the Baptist(T) has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

15 Others said, “He is Elijah.”(U)

And still others claimed, “He is a prophet,(V) like one of the prophets of long ago.”(W)

16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”

17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison.(X) He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”(Y) 19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man.(Z) When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled[c]; yet he liked to listen to him.

21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet(AA) for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.(AB) 22 When the daughter of[d] Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.

The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.” 23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”(AC)

24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”

“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.

25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, 28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. 29 On hearing of this, John’s disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(AD)(AE)

30 The apostles(AF) gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.(AG) 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat,(AH) he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

32 So they went away by themselves in a boat(AI) to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.(AJ) So he began teaching them many things.

35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”(AK)

They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages[e]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”

38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”

When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”(AL)

39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.(AM) Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

Jesus Walks on the Water(AN)(AO)

45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat(AP) and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida,(AQ) while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.(AR)

47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost.(AS) They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.

Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(AT) 51 Then he climbed into the boat(AU) with them, and the wind died down.(AV) They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.(AW)

53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.(AX) 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak,(AY) and all who touched it were healed.
