马太福音 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
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。 2 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。” 3 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？ 4 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。 5 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？ 6 但我告诉你们：在这里有一人比殿更大。 7 ‘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。 8 因为人子是安息日的主。”
在安息日治病
9 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 若撒旦赶逐撒旦，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。”
Matthew 12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Plucking Grain on the Sabbath
12 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath; his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.(A) 2 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”(B) 3 He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(C) 4 How he entered the house of God, and they[a] ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him or his companions to eat, but only for the priests?(D) 5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are guiltless?(E) 6 I tell you, something greater than the temple is here.(F) 7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.(G) 8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
The Man with a Withered Hand
9 He left that place and entered their synagogue; 10 a man was there with a withered hand, and they asked him, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?” so that they might accuse him.(H) 11 He said to them, “Suppose one of you has only one sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath; will you not lay hold of it and lift it out?(I) 12 How much more valuable is a human being than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”(J) 13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it was restored, as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.(K)
God’s Chosen Servant
15 When Jesus became aware of this, he departed. Many[b] followed him, and he cured all of them,(L) 16 and he ordered them not to make him known.(M) 17 This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Here is my servant, whom I have chosen,
my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased.
I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the gentiles.(N)
19 He will not wrangle or cry aloud,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a bruised reed
or quench a smoldering wick
until he brings justice to victory.
21 And in his name the gentiles will hope.”
Jesus and Beelzebul
22 Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and he cured him, so that the one who had been mute could speak and see.(O) 23 All the crowds were amazed and were saying, “Can this be the Son of David?”(P) 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that this man casts out the demons.”(Q) 25 He knew what they were thinking and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.(R) 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand? 27 If I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own exorcists[c] cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.(S) 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.(T) 29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man? Then indeed the house can be plundered. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(U) 31 Therefore I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.(V) 32 Whoever speaks 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.(W)
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.(X) 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.(Y) 35 The good person brings good things out of a good treasure, and the evil person brings evil things out of an evil treasure. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you 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.”(Z) 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.(AA) 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth.(AB) 41 The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and indeed something greater than Jonah is here!(AC) 42 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and indeed something greater than Solomon is here!(AD)
The Return of the Unclean Spirit
43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting place, but it finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ When it returns, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and live there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So will it be also with this evil generation.”(AE)
The True Kindred of Jesus
46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, wanting to speak to him.(AF) 47 Someone told him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”[d] 48 But to the one who had told him this, Jesus[e] replied, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”(AG)
Matthieu 12
La Bible du Semeur
Jésus maître du sabbat(A)
12 A cette époque, un jour de sabbat, Jésus traversait des champs de blé. Comme ses disciples avaient faim, ils se mirent à cueillir des épis pour en manger les grains[a].
2 Quand les pharisiens virent cela, ils dirent à Jésus : Regarde tes disciples : ils font ce qui est interdit le jour du sabbat !
3 Il leur répondit : N’avez-vous donc pas lu ce qu’a fait David lorsque lui et ses compagnons avaient faim ? 4 Il est entré dans le sanctuaire de Dieu et il a mangé avec eux les pains exposés devant Dieu. Or, ni lui ni ses hommes n’avaient le droit d’en manger, ils étaient réservés uniquement aux prêtres. 5 Ou bien, n’avez-vous pas lu dans la Loi que, le jour du sabbat, les prêtres qui travaillent dans le Temple violent la loi sur le sabbat, sans pour cela se rendre coupables d’aucune faute ?
6 Or, je vous le dis : il y a ici plus que le Temple. 7 Ah ! si vous aviez compris le sens de cette parole : Ce que je veux, c’est la compassion bien plus que les sacrifices[b], vous n’auriez pas condamné ces innocents. 8 Car le Fils de l’homme est maître du sabbat.
9 En partant de là, Jésus se rendit dans l’une de leurs synagogues. 10 Il y avait là un homme paralysé d’une main.
Les pharisiens demandèrent à Jésus : A-t-on le droit de guérir quelqu’un le jour du sabbat ?
Ils voulaient ainsi pouvoir l’accuser.
11 Mais il leur répondit : Supposez que l’un de vous n’ait qu’un seul mouton et qu’un jour de sabbat, il tombe dans un trou profond. Ne va-t-il pas le prendre et l’en sortir ? 12 Eh bien, un homme a beaucoup plus de valeur qu’un mouton ! Il est donc permis de faire du bien le jour du sabbat.
13 Alors il dit à l’homme : Etends la main !
Il la tendit et elle redevint saine, comme l’autre.
14 Les pharisiens sortirent de la synagogue et se concertèrent sur les moyens de faire mourir Jésus.
Jésus le Serviteur de l’Eternel
15 Quand Jésus sut qu’on voulait le tuer, il partit de là. Une grande foule le suivit et il guérit tous les malades. 16 Mais il leur défendit formellement de le faire connaître. 17 Ainsi devait s’accomplir cette parole du prophète Esaïe :
18 Voici mon serviteur, dit Dieu, celui que j’ai choisi,
celui que j’aime et qui fait toute ma joie.
Je ferai reposer mon Esprit sur lui
et il annoncera la justice à tous les peuples.
19 Il ne cherchera pas querelle,
il ne criera pas.
On n’entendra pas sa voix dans les rues.
20 Il ne brisera pas le roseau qui se ploie
et il n’éteindra pas la lampe
dont la mèche fume encore.
Il agira encore,
jusqu’à ce qu’il ait assuré le triomphe de la justice[c] .
21 Tous les peuples mettront leur espoir en lui[d] .
Dieu ou Satan ?(B)
22 On lui amena encore un homme qui était sous l’emprise d’un démon qui le rendait aveugle et muet. Jésus le guérit, et l’homme put de nouveau parler et voir.
23 La foule, stupéfaite, disait : Cet homme n’est-il pas le Fils de David ?
24 Les pharisiens, ayant appris ce qu’on disait de lui, déclarèrent : Si cet homme chasse les démons, c’est par le pouvoir de Béelzébul[e], le chef des démons.
25 Mais Jésus, connaissant leurs pensées, leur dit : Tout royaume déchiré par la guerre civile est dévasté. Aucune ville, aucune famille divisée ne peut subsister. 26 Si donc Satan se met à chasser Satan, il est en conflit avec lui-même. Comment alors son royaume subsistera-t-il ?
27 D’ailleurs, si moi je chasse les démons par Béelzébul, qui donc donne à vos disciples le pouvoir de les chasser ? C’est pourquoi ils seront eux-mêmes vos juges. 28 Mais si c’est par l’Esprit de Dieu que je chasse les démons, alors, de toute évidence, le royaume de Dieu est venu jusqu’à vous.
29 Ou encore : Comment quelqu’un peut-il pénétrer dans la maison d’un homme fort et s’emparer de ses biens s’il n’a pas, tout d’abord, ligoté cet homme fort ? C’est alors qu’il pillera sa maison.
30 Celui qui n’est pas avec moi est contre moi, et celui qui ne se joint pas à moi pour rassembler, disperse. 31 C’est pourquoi je vous avertis : tout péché, tout blasphème sera pardonné aux hommes mais pas le blasphème contre le Saint-Esprit. 32 Si quelqu’un dit une parole contre le Fils de l’homme, il lui sera pardonné ; mais si quelqu’un parle contre le Saint-Esprit, il ne recevra pas le pardon, ni dans la vie présente ni dans le monde à venir.
(Lc 6.43-45)
33 Considérez ou bien que l’arbre est bon et que son fruit est bon, ou bien que l’arbre est mauvais et que son fruit est mauvais[f], car c’est à son fruit que l’on reconnaît l’arbre. 34 Espèces de vipères ! Comment pouvez-vous tenir des propos qui soient bons alors que vous êtes mauvais ? Car ce qu’on dit vient de ce qui remplit le cœur. 35 L’homme qui est bon tire de bonnes choses du bon trésor qui est en lui ; mais l’homme qui est mauvais tire de mauvaises choses du mauvais trésor qui est en lui. 36 Or, je vous le déclare, au jour du jugement les hommes rendront compte de toute parole sans fondement[g] qu’ils auront prononcée. 37 En effet, c’est en fonction de tes propres paroles que tu seras déclaré juste, ou que tu seras condamné.
38 Quelques spécialistes de la Loi et des pharisiens intervinrent en disant : Maître, nous voudrions te voir faire un signe miraculeux.
39 Il leur répondit : Ces gens de notre temps qui sont mauvais et infidèles à Dieu réclament un signe miraculeux ! Un signe… il ne leur en sera pas accordé d’autre que celui du prophète Jonas. 40 En effet, comme Jonas resta trois jours et trois nuits dans le ventre du poisson[h], ainsi le Fils de l’homme passera trois jours et trois nuits dans le sein de la terre.
41 Au jour du jugement, les habitants de Ninive[i] se lèveront et condamneront les gens de notre temps, car ils ont changé en réponse à la prédication de Jonas. Or, il y a ici plus que Jonas. 42 Au jour du jugement, la reine du Midi se lèvera et condamnera les gens de notre temps, car elle est venue du bout du monde pour écouter l’enseignement plein de sagesse de Salomon. Or, il y a ici plus que Salomon !
(Lc 11.24-26)
43 Lorsqu’un esprit mauvais est sorti de quelqu’un, il erre çà et là dans des lieux déserts, à la recherche d’un lieu de repos, et il n’en trouve pas. 44 Il se dit alors : « Mieux vaut regagner la demeure que j’ai quittée. » Il y retourne donc et la trouve vide, balayée et mise en ordre. 45 Alors il va chercher sept autres esprits encore plus méchants que lui et les amène avec lui. Ils entrent dans la demeure et s’y installent. Finalement, la condition de cet homme est pire qu’avant. C’est exactement ce qui arrivera à ces gens de notre temps qui sont mauvais.
La vraie famille de Jésus(C)
46 Pendant que Jésus parlait encore à la foule, voici que sa mère et ses frères se tenaient dehors, cherchant à lui parler.
[47 Quelqu’un vint lui dire : Ta mère et tes frères sont là. Ils cherchent à te parler[j]].
48 Mais Jésus lui répondit : Qui est ma mère ? Qui sont mes frères ? 49 Puis, désignant ses disciples d’un geste de la main, il ajouta : Ma mère et mes frères, les voici. 50 Car celui qui fait la volonté de mon Père céleste, celui-là est pour moi un frère, une sœur, une mère.

Matthew 12
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 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?
5 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?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
9 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.
