安息日的主(A)

12 安息日那天,耶穌從麥田經過;他的門徒餓了,就摘了些麥穗來吃。 法利賽人看見了,就對他說:“你看,你的門徒作了安息日不可作的事。” 耶穌對他們說:“大衛和跟他在一起的人,在飢餓的時候所作的,你們沒有念過嗎? 他不是進了 神的殿,吃了他和跟他在一起的人不可以吃,只有祭司才可以吃的陳設餅嗎? 律法書上記著:安息日,祭司在殿裡供職,觸犯了安息日,也不算有罪;你們也沒有念過嗎? 我告訴你們,這裡有一位是比聖殿更大的。 如果你們明白‘我喜愛憐憫,不喜愛祭祀’這句話的意思,就不會把無罪的定罪了。 因為人子是安息日的主。”

治好手枯的人(B)

耶穌離開那裡,來到他們的會堂。 10 會堂裡有一個人,他的一隻手枯乾了。有人問耶穌:“在安息日治病,可以嗎?”目的是要控告耶穌。 11 耶穌回答:“你們當中有哪一個,他僅有的一隻羊在安息日跌進坑裡,會不把羊抓住拉上來呢? 12 人比羊貴重得多了!所以,在安息日行善是可以的。” 13 於是對那人說:“伸出手來!”他把手一伸,就復原了,好像另一隻手一樣。 14 法利賽人出去,商議怎樣對付耶穌,好殺掉他。

 神揀選的僕人

15 耶穌知道了,就離開那裡。有很多人跟隨他,他醫好他們所有的病人, 16 又囑咐他們不可替他張揚。 17 這就應驗了以賽亞先知所說的:

18 “看哪!我所揀選的僕人,

我所愛,心裡所喜悅的;

我要把我的靈賜給他,

他必向萬國宣揚公理。

19 他不爭吵,也不喧嚷,

人在街上聽不見他的聲音。

20 壓傷的蘆葦,他不折斷,

將殘的燈火,他不吹滅;

直到他施行公理,使公理得勝。

21 萬民都要寄望於他的名。”

耶穌靠 神的靈趕鬼(C)

22 有人帶了一個被鬼附著、又瞎又啞的人到耶穌那裡。耶穌醫好了他,那啞巴就能說話,也能看見了。 23 群眾都很驚奇,說:“難道他就是大衛的子孫?” 24 法利賽人聽見了,說:“這個人趕鬼,只不過是靠鬼王別西卜罷了。” 25 耶穌知道他們的心思,就對他們說:“如果一個國家自相紛爭,就必定荒涼;一城一家自相紛爭,必站立不住。 26 如果撒但趕逐撒但,就會自相紛爭。那麼,他的國怎能站立得住呢? 27 我若靠別西卜趕鬼,你們的子孫又靠誰趕鬼呢?這樣,他們就要斷定你們的不是。 28 我若靠 神的靈趕鬼, 神的國就已經臨到你們了。 29 如果不先把壯漢綁起來,怎能進到他的家裡,搶奪財物呢?如果綁起來了,就可以搶劫他的家了。 30 不站在我這一邊的就是反對我的,不跟我一起收聚的,就是分散的。 31 因此,我告訴你們,人的一切罪和褻瀆的話,都可以赦免;可是,褻瀆聖靈就得不著赦免。 32 無論誰說話得罪了人子,還可以赦免;但說話得罪了聖靈的,今生來世都得不著赦免。

種好樹結好果子(D)

33 “你們種好樹就結好果子,種壞樹就結壞果子;憑著果子就能認出樹來。 34 毒蛇所生的啊,你們既然是邪惡的,怎能說出良善的話?因為心中所充滿的,口裡就說出來。 35 良善的人從他良善的心(“心”原文作“庫房”)發出良善,邪惡的人從他邪惡的心(“心”原文作“庫房”)發出邪惡。 36 我告訴你們,人所說的閒話,在審判的日子,句句都要供出來, 37 因為你要照你的話被稱為義,或定為有罪。”

約拿的神蹟(E)

38 當時,有一些經學家和法利賽人對耶穌說:“老師,我們想請你顯個神蹟看看。” 39 但耶穌說:“邪惡和淫亂的世代尋求神蹟,除了約拿先知的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給你們了。 40 約拿怎樣三日三夜在大魚的腹中,人子也要照樣三日三夜在地裡。 41 審判的時候,尼尼微人要和這個世代一同起來,定這個世代的罪,因為他們聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。你看,這裡有一位是比約拿更大的。 42 審判的時候,南方的女王要和這個世代一同起來,定這個世代的罪,因為她從地極來到,要聽所羅門智慧的話。你看,這裡有一位是比所羅門更大的。

污靈去而復返的教訓(F)

43 “有一個污靈離開了一個人,走遍乾旱之地,尋找棲身的地方,卻沒有找到。 44 他就說:‘我要回到我從前離開了的那房子。’到了之後,看見裡面空著,已經打掃乾淨,粉飾好了, 45 他就去帶了另外七個比自己更惡的污靈來,一齊進去住在那裡;那人後來的情況,比以前更壞了。這邪惡的世代也會這樣。”

誰是耶穌的母親和弟兄(G)

46 耶穌還在對群眾講話的時候,他的母親和弟弟站在外面,要找他講話。 47 有人告訴耶穌:“你的母親和弟弟站在外面,有話要跟你說。” 48 他回答那人:“誰是我的母親?誰是我的弟兄?” 49 他伸手指著門徒說:“你看,我的母親,我的弟兄! 50 凡是遵行我天父旨意的,就是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親了。”

12 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

16 And charged them that they should not make him known:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

12 About that time, Jesus was walking one day through some grainfields with his disciples. It was on the Sabbath, the Jewish day of worship, and his disciples were hungry; so they began breaking off heads of wheat and eating the grain.

But some Pharisees saw them do it and protested, “Your disciples are breaking the law. They are harvesting on the Sabbath.”

But Jesus said to them, “Haven’t you ever read what King David did when he and his friends were hungry? He went into the Temple and they ate the special bread permitted to the priests alone. That was breaking the law too. And haven’t you ever read in the law of Moses how the priests on duty in the Temple may work on the Sabbath? And truly, one is here who is greater than the Temple! But if you had known the meaning of this Scripture verse, ‘I want you to be merciful more than I want your offerings,’ you would not have condemned those who aren’t guilty! For I, the Messiah,[a] am master even of the Sabbath.”

Then he went over to the synagogue 10 and noticed there a man with a deformed hand. The Pharisees[b] asked Jesus, “Is it legal to work by healing on the Sabbath day?” (They were, of course, hoping he would say yes, so they could arrest him!) 11 This was his answer: “If you had just one sheep, and it fell into a well on the Sabbath, would you work to rescue it that day? Of course you would.[c] 12 And how much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Yes, it is right to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your arm.” And as he did, his hand became normal, just like the other one!

14 Then the Pharisees called a meeting to plot Jesus’ arrest and death. 15 But he knew what they were planning and left the synagogue, with many following him. He healed all the sick among them, 16 but he cautioned them against spreading the news about his miracles. 17 This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him:

18 “Look at my Servant.

See my Chosen One.

He is my Beloved, in whom my soul delights.

I will put my Spirit upon him,

And he will judge the nations.

19 He does not fight nor shout;

He does not raise his voice!

20 He does not crush the weak,

Or quench the smallest hope;

He will end all conflict with his final victory,

21 And his name shall be the hope

Of all the world.”[d]

22 Then a demon-possessed man—he was both blind and unable to talk—was brought to Jesus, and Jesus healed him so that he could both speak and see. 23 The crowd was amazed. “Maybe Jesus is the Messiah!”[e] they exclaimed.

24 But when the Pharisees heard about the miracle, they said, “He can cast out demons because he is Satan,[f] king of devils.”

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “A divided kingdom ends in ruin. A city or home divided against itself cannot stand. 26 And if Satan is casting out Satan, he is fighting himself and destroying his own kingdom. 27 And if, as you claim, I am casting out demons by invoking the powers of Satan, then what power do your own people use when they cast them out? Let them answer your accusation! 28 But if I am casting out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. 29 One cannot rob Satan’s kingdom without first binding Satan.[g] Only then can his demons be cast out! 30 Anyone who isn’t helping me is harming me.

31-32 “Even blasphemy against me[h] or any other sin can be forgiven—all except one: speaking against the Holy Spirit shall never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.

33 “A tree is identified by its fruit. A tree from a select variety produces good fruit; poor varieties don’t. 34 You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For a man’s heart determines his speech. 35 A good man’s speech reveals the rich treasures within him. An evil-hearted man is filled with venom, and his speech reveals it. 36 And I tell you this, that you must give account on Judgment Day for every idle word you speak. 37 Your words now reflect your fate then: either you will be justified by them or you will be condemned.”

38 One day some of the Jewish leaders, including some Pharisees, came to Jesus asking him to show them a miracle.

39-40 But Jesus replied, “Only an evil, faithless nation would ask for further proof; and none will be given except what happened to Jonah the prophet! For as Jonah was in the great fish for three days and three nights, so I, the Messiah,[i] shall be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. 41 The men of Nineveh shall arise against this nation at the judgment and condemn you. For when Jonah preached to them, they repented and turned to God from all their evil ways. And now one greater than Jonah is here—and you refuse to believe him.[j] 42 The queen of Sheba shall rise against this nation in the judgment and condemn it; for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and now one greater than Solomon is here—and you refuse to believe him.

43-45 “This evil nation is like a man possessed by a demon. For if the demon leaves, it goes into the deserts[k] for a while, seeking rest but finding none. Then it says, ‘I will return to the man I came from.’ So it returns and finds the man’s heart clean but empty! Then the demon finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and all enter the man and live in him. And so he is worse off than before.”

46-47 As Jesus was speaking in a crowded house,[l] his mother and brothers were outside, wanting to talk with him. When someone told him they were there, 48 he remarked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 49 He pointed to his disciples. “Look!” he said, “these are my mother and brothers.” 50 Then he added, “Anyone who obeys my Father in heaven is my brother, sister, and mother!”

人子是安息日的主

12 那时,耶稣在安息日从麦地经过。他的门徒饿了,就掐起麦穗来吃。 法利赛人看见,就对耶稣说:“看哪,你的门徒做安息日不可做的事了。” 耶稣对他们说:“经上记着大卫和跟从他的人饥饿之时所做的事,你们没有念过吗? 他怎么进了神的殿,吃了陈设饼?这饼不是他和跟从他的人可以吃的,唯独祭司才可以吃。 再者,律法上所记的,当安息日祭司在殿里犯了安息日还是没有罪,你们没有念过吗? 但我告诉你们:在这里有一人比殿更大。 ‘我喜爱怜恤不喜爱祭祀’,你们若明白这话的意思,就不将无罪的当做有罪的了。 因为人子是安息日的主。”

在安息日治病

耶稣离开那地方,进了一个会堂。 10 那里有一个人枯干了一只手。有人问耶稣说:“安息日治病可以不可以?”意思是要控告他。 11 耶稣说:“你们中间谁有一只羊当安息日掉在坑里,不把它抓住拉上来呢? 12 人比羊何等贵重呢!所以,在安息日做善事是可以的。” 13 于是对那人说:“伸出手来!”他把手一伸,手就复了原,和那只手一样。 14 法利赛人出去,商议怎样可以除灭耶稣。 15 耶稣知道了,就离开那里。有许多人跟着他,他把其中有病的人都治好了, 16 又嘱咐他们不要给他传名。 17 这是要应验先知以赛亚的话说: 18 “看哪,我的仆人,我所拣选、所亲爱、心里所喜悦的!我要将我的灵赐给他,他必将公理传给外邦。 19 他不争竞,不喧嚷,街上也没有人听见他的声音。 20 压伤的芦苇他不折断,将残的灯火他不吹灭,等他施行公理,叫公理得胜。 21 外邦人都要仰望他的名。”

驳倒法利赛人的谗言

22 当下,有人将一个被鬼附着、又瞎又哑的人带到耶稣那里。耶稣就医治他,甚至那哑巴又能说话,又能看见。 23 众人都惊奇,说:“这不是大卫的子孙吗?” 24 但法利赛人听见,就说:“这个人赶鬼,无非是靠着鬼王别西卜啊。” 25 耶稣知道他们的意念,就对他们说:“凡一国自相纷争,就成为荒场;一城一家自相纷争,必站立不住。 26 撒旦赶逐撒旦,就是自相纷争,他的国怎能站得住呢? 27 我若靠着别西卜赶鬼,你们的子弟赶鬼又靠着谁呢?这样,他们就要断定你们的是非。 28 我若靠着神的灵赶鬼,这就是神的国临到你们了。 29 人怎能进壮士家里抢夺他的家具呢?除非先捆住那壮士,才可以抢夺他的家财。 30 不与我相合的,就是敌我的;不同我收聚的,就是分散的。

亵渎圣灵的不得赦免

31 “所以我告诉你们,人一切的罪和亵渎的话都可得赦免,唯独亵渎圣灵总不得赦免。 32 凡说话干犯人子的,还可得赦免;唯独说话干犯圣灵的,今世来世总不得赦免。 33 你们或以为树好果子也好,树坏果子也坏,因为看果子就可以知道树。 34 毒蛇的种类!你们既是恶人,怎能说出好话来呢?因为心里所充满的,口里就说出来。 35 善人从他心里所存的善就发出善来,恶人从他心里所存的恶就发出恶来。 36 我又告诉你们,凡人所说的闲话,当审判的日子必要句句供出来。 37 因为要凭你的话定你为义,也要凭你的话定你有罪。”

求神迹的受责备

38 当时,有几个文士和法利赛人对耶稣说:“夫子,我们愿意你显个神迹给我们看。” 39 耶稣回答说:“一个邪恶淫乱的世代求看神迹,除了先知约拿的神迹以外,再没有神迹给他们看。 40 约拿三日三夜在大鱼肚腹中,人子也要这样三日三夜在地里头。 41 当审判的时候,尼尼微人要起来定这世代的罪,因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了。看哪,在这里有一人比约拿更大! 42 当审判的时候,南方的女王要起来定这世代的罪,因为她从地极而来,要听所罗门的智慧话。看哪,在这里有一人比所罗门更大! 43 污鬼离了人身,就在无水之地过来过去,寻求安歇之处,却寻不着。 44 于是说:‘我要回到我所出来的屋里去。’到了,就看见里面空闲,打扫干净,修饰好了, 45 便去另带了七个比自己更恶的鬼来,都进去住在那里。那人末后的景况比先前更不好了。这邪恶的世代也要如此。”

信者皆为亲属

46 耶稣还对众人说话的时候,不料他母亲和他弟兄站在外边,要与他说话。 47 有人告诉他说:“看哪,你母亲和你弟兄站在外边,要与你说话。” 48 他却回答那人说:“谁是我的母亲?谁是我的弟兄?” 49 就伸手指着门徒说:“看哪,我的母亲,我的弟兄! 50 凡遵行我天父旨意的人,就是我的弟兄、姐妹和母亲了。”
