安息日的主

12 在安息日那天,耶稣从麦田经过。他的门徒们饿了,就开始摘麦穗吃。 有些法利赛人看见了,就对耶稣说:“你看,你的门徒们做了在安息日不可以做的事。”

耶稣对他们说:大卫和那些与他在一起的人饥饿时所做的事,你们难道没有读过吗? 他不是进了神的殿[a],和他们吃了[b]陈设饼吗?这饼是他和那些与他在一起的人不可以吃的,唯有祭司才可以吃。 再者,你们难道没有在律法书上读过:当安息日,祭司们在圣殿里触犯了安息日,也是无罪的吗? 但是我告诉你们:比圣殿更大的就在这里! 你们如果明白‘我要的是怜悯,而不是祭祀’[c]这话是什么意思,就不会把无罪的定为有罪了。 因为人子是安息日的主。”

治愈手萎缩的人

耶稣离开那地方,进了他们的会堂。 10 看哪,有个一只手枯萎的人。有些人就问耶稣,说:“在安息日使人痊愈,是否可以呢?”这是为要控告耶稣。

11 耶稣对他们说:“你们当中有哪一个人,如果他有一只羊在安息日掉进坑里,他不会抓住羊,把它拉上来呢? 12 人比羊重要多了!所以,在安息日做好事是可以的。”

13 于是耶稣对那个人说:“伸出你的手!”他一伸出来,手就复原了,和另一只一样健全。 14 那些法利赛人就出去,商议怎样对付耶稣,好除灭他。

神的仆人

15 耶稣知道了,就离开那里。有一大群人跟随他,耶稣使他们都痊愈了, 16 并且告诫他们不要把他传扬出去。 17 这是为要应验那藉着先知以赛亚所说的话:

18 “看哪,我所拣选的仆人,
我所爱的,心所喜悦的。
我要把我的灵赐给他,
他要向外邦人宣扬审判的事。
19 他不争竞、不喧嚷,
大街[d]上也没有人听见他的声音。
20 压伤的芦苇,他不折断;
将熄的灯火,他不吹灭,
直到他使公义得胜,
21 外邦人将要仰望他的名。”[e]

自相纷争

22 那时,一个有鬼魔附身、又瞎又哑的人被带到耶稣那里。耶稣使他痊愈,那哑巴就能说话,也能看见了。 23 众人都十分惊讶,说:“难道这个人就是‘大卫的后裔’?”

24 法利赛人听见了却说:“这个人如果不是靠着鬼魔的王别西卜,就不能驱赶鬼魔!”

25 耶稣知道他们的想法,就对他们说:“任何一个国家,如果自相纷争就成为荒芜;任何一个城或家庭,如果自相纷争就站立不住。 26 如果撒旦驱赶撒旦,就是自相纷争,它的国怎么能站立得住呢? 27 如果我是靠别西卜驱赶鬼魔,那么,你们的子弟是靠谁驱赶鬼魔呢?为此,你们的子弟就将要成为你们的审判者了。 28 然而,如果我藉着神的灵驱赶鬼魔,那么,神的国就已经临到你们了。 29 人怎么能进入一个壮士的家抢夺他的东西呢?如果不先把那壮士捆住,就不能抢夺他的家。 30 不与我在一起的,就是在反对我;不与我一起收集的,就是在拆散。 31 为此,我告诉你们:人一切的罪和亵渎的话都能被赦免,但亵渎圣灵却不能被赦免。 32 凡是说话抵挡人子的,还能被赦免;但如果有人说话抵挡圣灵,无论在这世代,或在将要来的世代,都不能被赦免。

树与果

33 “你们让一棵树好,它的果子就好;你们让一棵树坏,它的果子就坏;这样,一棵树是凭着果子被认出来。 34 你们这些毒蛇的子孙!你们做为恶人,怎么能说出善的来呢?因为心里所充满的,口里就说出来。 35 好人从他心里[f]所存的善,发出善来;坏人从他心里所存的恶,发出恶来。 36 我告诉你们:人所说的每一句无益的话,在那审判的日子,句句都要做出交代, 37 因为凭你的话,你将被称为义;也凭你的话,你将被定有罪。”

约拿的神迹

38 当时,有一些经文士和法利赛人对耶稣说:“老师,我们希望你显个神迹给我们看。”

39 耶稣回答他们,说:“一个邪恶、淫乱的世代会寻求神迹;可是除了先知约拿的神迹以外,不会有神迹赐给它了。 40 就是说,正如约拿在大鱼的肚子里三天三夜,人子也照样将要在地心三天三夜。 41 在审判的时候,尼尼微人将要与这世代一起复活[g],并且要定这世代的罪,因为尼尼微人因着约拿的传道就悔改了。看,比约拿更大的就在这里! 42 在审判的时候,南方的女王[h]将要与这世代一起复活[i],并且要定这世代的罪,因为她从极远的地方来,要听所罗门智慧的话语。看,比所罗门更大的就在这里!

污灵返回

43 “有个污灵从一个人身上出来以后,走遍无水之地,寻找安歇的地方,却找不到, 44 就说:‘我要回到我离开的那屋里去。’于是它回去,发现那里空着,已被打扫干净,摆设整齐, 45 就去带了另外七个比自己更邪恶的灵,进去住在那里。那个人最后的情况就比先前更坏了。这邪恶的世代也将是这样。”

真正的亲属

46 耶稣正在向人群讲话,这时候他的母亲和弟弟们[j]站在外面,想要和他说话。 47 有人告诉他:“看,你母亲和弟弟们站在外面,想和你说话。”[k]

48 耶稣回答那对他说话的人,说:“我的母亲是谁呢?我的弟兄是谁呢?” 49 他就伸手指着他的门徒们,说:“看,我的母亲、我的弟兄! 50 因为凡是遵行我天父旨意的人,他才是我的弟兄、姐妹和母亲。”

Plucking Grain on the Sabbath

12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the sabbath; his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears of grain and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the sabbath.” He said to them, “Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the law how on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless? I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.”

The Man with a Withered Hand

And he went on from there, and entered their synagogue. 10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?” so that they might accuse him. 11 He said to them, “What man of you, if he has one sheep and it falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the sabbath.” 13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, whole like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, how to destroy him.[a]

God’s Chosen Servant

15 Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all, 16 and ordered them not to make him known. 17 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,
    my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.
I will put my Spirit upon him,
    and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not wrangle or cry aloud,
    nor will any one hear his voice in the streets;
20 he will not break a bruised reed
    or quench a smoldering wick,
till he brings justice to victory;
21     and in his name will the Gentiles hope.”

Jesus and Beelzebul

22 Then a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard it they said, “It is only by Be-el′zebul,[b] the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand; 26 and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Be-el′zebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.[c] 32 And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

A Tree and Its Fruit

33 “Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The Sign of Jonah

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nin′eveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

The Return of the Unclean Spirit

43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, but he finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation.”

The True Kindred of Jesus

46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren[d] stood outside, asking to speak to him.[e] 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?”[f] 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brethren! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

  2. 12.24 Beel-zebul: Name of a Canaanite god meaning “the Prince-god.” The Jews interpreted this name as “Prince of demons,” because for them all false gods were demons. The form “Beel-zebub” is a contemptuous adaptation meaning “Lord of the flies.”

安息日的问题

12 那时,耶稣在安息日经过一片麦田。祂的门徒饿了,便随手搓麦穗吃。 法利赛人看见后,对耶稣说:“你看,你的门徒做了在安息日不准做的事!”

耶稣回答说:“你们没有读过大卫的事迹吗?当时他和部下饿了, 进入上帝的殿,吃了献给上帝的供饼。这饼只有祭司才可以吃,大卫和部下是不准吃的。 此外律法书又记载,安息日,祭司在圣殿里触犯了守安息日的规条也不算有罪。你们没有读过吗? 我告诉你们,这里有一人比圣殿更伟大, 如果你们明白‘我喜爱怜悯之心,而非祭物’这句经文的意义,就不会冤枉无辜了。 因为人子是安息日的主。”

耶稣离开那里,走进会堂, 10 里面有个人,一只手是萎缩的。法利赛人企图找借口控告耶稣,就问祂:“安息日可不可以医病呢?”

11 耶稣回答说:“如果你们有一只羊在安息日掉进坑里,难道你们不把它拉上来吗? 12 人比羊要贵重多了!所以在安息日行善合情合理。”

13 于是,耶稣转过身来对那人说:“把手伸出来!”那人一伸手,手就复原了,跟另一只手一样健康。 14 法利赛人却走了出去,策划怎样除掉耶稣。

上帝的仆人

15 耶稣知道了,就离开那个地方。很多人跟随祂,耶稣医好了其中所有患病的人, 16 吩咐他们不要泄露祂的身份。 17 这是要应验以赛亚先知的话:

18 “看啊!我所拣选、
所眷爱、所喜悦的仆人,
我要将我的灵赐给祂,
祂要向万邦宣扬正义。
19 祂不争竞,不喧嚷,
街上也听不见祂的声音。
20 压伤的芦苇,祂不折断;
将残的灯火,祂不吹灭;
祂终必使正义得胜。
21 普世都要仰望祂的圣名。”

22 有人带一个被鬼附身、又瞎又哑的人来见耶稣,耶稣便医好他,使他能说能看。 23 众人都很惊奇,就说:“这人会不会是大卫的那个后裔?” 24 法利赛人听见后却说:“祂不过是靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼罢了。”

25 耶稣知道他们的心思,就说:“一个国内部自相纷争,必然灭亡;一座城、一个家内部自相纷争,必然崩溃。 26 若撒旦驱逐撒旦,就是自相纷争,它的国怎能维持呢? 27 若我是靠别西卜赶鬼,你们的子弟又是靠谁赶鬼呢?为此,他们要审判你们。 28 若我是靠上帝的灵赶鬼,就是上帝的国已降临在你们中间了。

29 “人如何进入壮汉家中抢夺他的财物呢?除非先把那壮汉捆绑起来,才有可能抢劫他的家。

30 “不与我为友就是与我为敌;不助我召集就是故意拆散。 31 所以我告诉你们,一切的罪和亵渎的话都可以得到赦免,但亵渎圣灵的罪必得不到赦免。 32 说话得罪人子的,还可以得到赦免;但那些说话冒犯圣灵的,今生永世都得不到赦免。

树与果

33 “好树结好果子,坏树结坏果子,看果子就能知道树的好坏。 34 你们这些毒蛇的后代!你们心里邪恶,又怎能讲出好话呢?因为心里充满的,口里自然会说出来。 35 善人心存良善,就从他里面发出良善;恶人心存邪恶,就从他里面发出邪恶。 36 我告诉你们,在审判之日,人将为自己所说的每一句闲话负责, 37 因为将来要凭你口中的话来判断你是否有罪。”

求神迹

38 当时,有几个律法教师和法利赛人对耶稣说:“老师,我们想要看你行个神迹。” 39 耶稣回答说:“一个邪恶淫乱的世代想看神迹,可是除了约拿先知的神迹以外,再没有神迹给他们看。 40 约拿在大鱼腹中三日三夜,人子也要在地里三日三夜。 41 在审判的日子,尼尼微人和这世代的人都要起来[a],尼尼微人要定这个世代的罪,因为他们听到约拿的宣告,就悔改了。看啊!这里有一人比约拿更伟大。 42 在审判的日子,南方的女王和这世代的人都要起来,她要定这个世代的罪,因为她曾不远千里来听所罗门王的智言慧语。看啊!这里有一人比所罗门王更伟大。

乘虚而入

43 “有一个污鬼离开了它以前所附的人,在干旱无水之地四处游荡,寻找安歇之处,却没有找到。 44 于是它说,‘我要回到老地方。’它回去后,看见里面空着,打扫得又干净又整齐, 45 就去带来了七个比自己更邪恶的鬼一起住在那里。那人的下场比从前更惨了。这个邪恶的世代也会这样。”

真正的亲属

46 耶稣还在和众人说话的时候,祂的母亲和兄弟站在外面,想要跟祂说话。 47 有人告诉祂:“你的母亲和兄弟在外面有话要跟你说。”

48 耶稣说:“谁是我的母亲?谁是我的兄弟?” 49 祂伸出手来指着门徒说:“你们看!这些人就是我的母亲和我的兄弟。 50 凡遵行我天父旨意的人都是我的弟兄、姊妹和母亲。”

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)(B)

12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain(C) and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”(D)

He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(E) He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.(F) Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath(G) and yet are innocent? I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.(H) If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a](I) you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man(J) is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus,(K) they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”(L)

11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?(M) 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!(N) Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.(O)

God’s Chosen Servant

15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill.(P) 16 He warned them not to tell others about him.(Q) 17 This was to fulfill(R) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
    the one I love, in whom I delight;(S)
I will put my Spirit on him,(T)
    and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
    no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
    and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
21     In his name the nations will put their hope.”[b](U)

Jesus and Beelzebul(V)

22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.(W) 23 All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”(X)

24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul,(Y) the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”(Z)

25 Jesus knew their thoughts(AA) and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan(AB) drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul,(AC) by whom do your people(AD) drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God(AE) has come upon you.

29 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(AF) 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.(AG) 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age(AH) or in the age to come.(AI)

33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.(AJ) 34 You brood of vipers,(AK) how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks(AL) what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”(AM)

The Sign of Jonah(AN)(AO)

38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign(AP) from you.”(AQ)

39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.(AR) 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,(AS) so the Son of Man(AT) will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.(AU) 41 The men of Nineveh(AV) will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,(AW) and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came(AX) from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.

43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.(AY) That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(AZ)

46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother(BA) and brothers(BB) stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”

48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven(BC) is my brother and sister and mother.”

Ang Pangutana bahin sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay

(Mar. 2:23-28; Luc. 6:1-5)

12 Usa niadto ka panahon sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay, nakaagi sila si Jesus sa kaumahan sa trigo. Gigutom kaayo ang iyang mga tinun-an, busa nangutlo[a] sila ug mga uhay sa trigo ug nangaon. Pagkakita niadto sa mga Pariseo miingon sila kang Jesus, “Tan-awa ang gihimo sa imong mga tinun-an! Adlaw nga Igpapahulay karon ug supak sa Kasugoan ang ilang gihimo.”

Gitubag sila ni Jesus, “Wala ba ninyo mabasa sa Kasulatan ang gihimo ni David sa dihang siya ug ang iyang mga kauban gipanggutom? Misulod siya sa balay sa Dios ug gikaon niya ug sa iyang mga kauban ang pan nga gihalad ngadto sa Dios. Wala sila makasala bisan supak sa Kasugoan nga mokaon niadto ang mga tawo gawas lang sa mga pari. Ug wala ba usab ninyo mabasa sa mga sinulat ni Moises nga ang mga pari sa templo nagasupak sa Kasugoan matag Adlaw nga Igpapahulay tungod kay wala silay pahulay? Apan wala sila makasala. Ang tinuod ania dinhi ang mas mahinungdanon pa kaysa templo. 7-8 Kay ako nga Anak sa Tawo may gahom sa pag-ingon kon unsa ang husto nga buhaton sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay. Kon nasabtan ninyo kining gi-ingon sa Dios sa Kasulatan, ‘Wala ko kahimut-i ang inyong mga halad, kondili gusto ko nga magmaluloy-on kamo sa inyong isigka-tawo,’[b] wala unta ninyo pakasad-a ang mga tawo nga walay sala.”

Ang Tawo nga Singkaw ug Kamot

(Mar. 3:1-6; Luc. 6:6-11)

Human niadto, mibiya si Jesus didto ug miadto sa usa sa mga sinagoga sa mga Judio. 10 May tawo didto nga singkaw ug kamot. Ug may mga Pariseo usab didto nga naniid ug nangitag pamaagi aron ikasumbong nila si Jesus. Busa nangutana sila kang Jesus, “Gitugot ba diay ang pag-ayo sa masakiton sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay?” 11 Mitubag si Jesus kanila, “Pananglit, may karnero kamo nga nahulog sa bangag sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay. Unsa man, pasagdan lang ba ninyo tungod kay Adlaw nga Igpapahulay? Dili gayod! 12 Apan ang tawo mas bililhon pa kaysa karnero. Busa dili kita makasupak sa Kasugoan kon motabang kita sa atong isigka-tawo bisan kon Adlaw nga Igpapahulay.” 13 Ug miingon si Jesus sa tawo nga singkaw ug kamot, “Ituy-od ang imong kamot.” Gituy-od niya ug naayo kini, ug nahisama na sa pikas niyang kamot. 14 Unya nanggawas ang mga Pariseo ug nagplano sila kon unsaon nila pagpatay si Jesus.

Ang Pinili nga Alagad sa Dios

15 Sa dihang nahibaloan ni Jesus ang plano sa mga Pariseo, mibiya siya niadto nga dapit. Daghan ang nagsunod kaniya ug giayo niya ang tanang mga masakiton. 16 Gipasidan-an niya sila nga dili mosulti ngadto sa uban bahin kaniya. 17 Katumanan kini sa giingon sa Dios pinaagi kang Propeta Isaias:

18 “Mao kini ang akong gipili nga alagad.
Gimahal ko siya ug nalipay gayod ako kaniya.
Gamhan ko siya pinaagi sa akong Espiritu.
Ug sultihan niya ang mga tawo sa tanan nga nasod bahin sa katarong.
19 Dili siya makiglalis sa mga tawo,
o mosinggit,
ni madungog diha sa kadalanan ang iyang tingog.
20 Dili niya pasagdan ang mga luya sa pagtuo,
kay tabangan niya ang tanan bisan ang gamay ra gayod ug pagtuo.
Dili siya moundang hangtod matuman ang mga sugo sa Dios.
21 Ug ang katawhan sa tanan nga nasod mosalig kaniya.”[c]

Si Jesus ug si Satanas

(Mar. 3:20-30; Luc. 11:14-23)

22 Unya may gidala kang Jesus nga usa ka tawo nga nabuta ug naamang tungod kay gigamhan siya sa daotang espiritu. Giayo ni Jesus ang tawo ug diha-diha nakasulti na kini ug nakakita. 23 Natingala ang tanan, ug miingon sila, “Siya kaha ang kaliwat ni Haring David nga makapanunod sa iyang gingharian?” 24 Sa pagkadungog sa mga Pariseo miingon sila, “Kanang tawhana nanghingilin sa mga daotang espiritu tungod kay gihatagan siya ug gahom ni Satanas[d] nga mao ang pangulo sa mga daotang espiritu.” 25 Nahibalo si Jesus sa ilang mga hunahuna, busa miingon siya kanila, “Kon ang mga lumulupyo sa usa ka gingharian magkabahin-bahin, kana nga gingharian mabungkag. Mao usab ang mahitabo sa bisan unsa nga lungsod o panimalay kon ang mga nagapuyo magkabahin-bahin. 26 Busa kon pinaagi sa gahom ni Satanas nanghingilin ako sa iyang mga sakop, ginabungkag lang niya ang iyang kaugalingon nga gingharian. 27 Ug kon ang gahom ni Satanas ang akong gigamit sa paghingilin sa mga daotang espiritu, kinsa man ang nagahatag ug gahom sa inyong mga tinun-an nga nagahingilin usab sa mga daotang espiritu? Ang inyong mga tinun-an mismo usa ka pamatuod nga sayop gayod kamo. 28 Karon, tungod kay nagahingilin ako sa mga daotang espiritu pinaagi sa Espiritu sa Dios, nagapaila kini nga ang paghari sa Dios miabot na kaninyo.

29 “Ang tinuod, walay tawo nga makasulod sa balay sa kusgan nga tawo aron pagkuha sa iyang mga kabtangan kon dili una niya gapuson kanang kusgan nga tawo. Kon magapos na niya, makakuha na siya sa mga kabtangan niana nga balay.[e]

30 “Ang dili modapig kanako, batok kanako. Ug ang dili motabang kanako sa pagtigom sa mga tawo sa Dios nagapatibulaag lang. 31 Busa sultihan ko kamo; ang bisan unsa nga sala, bisan pa ang pagsulti ug daotan batok sa Dios, mapasaylo. Apan ang pagsulti batok sa Espiritu Santo dili gayod mapasaylo. 32 Si bisan kinsa nga mosulti batok kanako nga Anak sa Tawo mapasaylo, apan ang mosulti batok sa Espiritu Santo dili gayod mapasaylo hangtod sa hangtod.”

Ang Kahoy Maila Pinaagi sa Iyang Bunga

(Luc. 6:43-45)

33 “Kon maayo ang kahoy maayo usab ang iyang bunga; kon daot ang kahoy daot usab ang iyang bunga. Ang kahoy maila pinaagi sa iyang bunga. 34 Mga kaliwat kamo sa bitin! Ug tungod kay kamo daotan, unsaon ninyo pagsulti ug maayo? Kay kon unsa ang anaa sa kasingkasing mao usab ang mogawas sa baba. 35 Ang maayo nga tawo mosulti ug maayo, kay maayo man ang iyang gihunahuna. Apan ang tawo nga daotan mosulti ug daotan, kay daotan man ang iyang gihunahuna. 36 Sa pagkatinuod, sa adlaw sa paghukom, ang matag usa manubag sa Dios sa iyang mga gipanulti nga walay kapuslanan. 37 Kay ibasi sa imong mga gipanulti kon silotan ka o dili.”

Gipangayoan si Jesus ug Milagro

(Mar. 8:11-12; Luc. 11:29-32)

38 May mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan ug mga Pariseo nga miingon kang Jesus, “Magtutudlo, pakit-a kami ug milagro gikan sa Dios.” 39 Mitubag si Jesus kanila, “Kamo nga mga tawo niini nga panahon labihan kadaotan ug dili matinud-anon sa Dios. Nangayo kamo ug milagro, apan walay milagro nga ipakita kaninyo gawas sa milagro nga nahitabo kang Propeta Jonas. 40 Sama nga si Jonas tulo ka adlaw ug tulo ka gabii didto sa sulod sa tiyan sa isda, mao usab ang mahitabo kanako nga Anak sa Tawo. Kay magpabilin ako sulod sa tulo ka adlaw ug tulo ka gabii sa ilalom sa yuta. 41 Sa adlaw sa paghukom ang mga taga-Nineve mabanhaw uban sa mga tawo niining panahona ug basulon nila kamo. Kay sa pagkadungog sa mga taga-Nineve kaniadto sa wali ni Jonas, naghinulsol sila. Karon, ania na dinhi ang labaw pa kang Jonas, apan wala kamo modawat sa iyang gitudlo. 42 Sa adlaw sa paghukom mabanhaw ang Rayna sa Habagatan uban kaninyo nga mga tawo niining panahona ug basulon niya kamo. Kay layo kaayo ang iyang gigikanan aron lang maminaw sa kaalam ni Haring Solomon. Karon, ania na dinhi ang labaw pa kang Solomon, apan wala kamo modawat sa iyang gitudlo.

Kon Mogawas ang Daotan nga Espiritu

(Luc. 11:24-26)

43 “Kon ang daotang espiritu mogawas gikan sa tawo nga iyang gisudlan, mosuroy-suroy kini sa mga dapit nga walay tubig tungod kay mangita kini ug dapit nga iyang mapahulayan. Kon wala kini makita 44 maghunahuna kini nga mobalik na lang sa iyang gigikanan. Ug kon sa iyang pagbalik makita niya nga ang iyang gigikanan walay nagapuyo, limpyo ug maayo nang pagkahimutang, 45 molakaw dayon siya ug mangagda ug laing pito ka espiritu nga labi pang daotan kay kaniya. Mosulod sila niadtong tawhana ug didto sila mopuyo. Ug ang kahimtang sa tawo mosamot pa kadaotan kaysa una. Mao usab kini ang mahitabo sa daota nga mga tawo karon, mosamot pa gayod ang ilang kadaotan.”

Ang Inahan ug ang mga Igsoon ni Jesus

(Mar. 3:31-35; Luc. 8:19-21)

46 Samtang nagsulti pa si Jesus, miabot ang iyang inahan ug ang iyang mga igsoon. Didto sila sa gawas nagahulat kay may isulti sila kaniya. 47 May usa ka tawo nga miingon kaniya, “Ang imong inahan ug mga igsoon naghulat sa gawas. Buot silang makigsulti kanimo.” 48 Mitubag si Jesus kaniya, “Nahibaloan mo ba kon kinsa ang akong inahan ug mga igsoon?” 49 Unya gitudlo niya ang iyang mga tinun-an ug miingon, “Mao kini sila ang akong inahan ug mga igsoon! 50 Kay si bisan kinsa nga nagabuhat sa kabubut-on sa akong Amahan sa langit mao ang akong inahan ug mga igsoon.”
