马太福音 12
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
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。 2 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。”
3 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？ 4 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。 5 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？ 6 但是我告诉你们：比圣殿更大的就在这里！ 7 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。 8 因为人子是安息日的主。”
治愈手萎缩的人
9 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 但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。”

Matthew 12
New King James Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)
12 At that time (B)Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to (C)pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”
3 But He said to them, “Have you not read (D)what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and ate (E)the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, (F)but only for the priests? 5 Or have you not read in the (G)law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple [a]profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? 6 Yet I say to you that in this place there is (H)One greater than the temple. 7 But if you had known what this means, (I)‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord [b]even of the Sabbath.”
Healing on the Sabbath(J)
9 (K)Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, (L)“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.
11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. 14 Then (M)the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Behold, My Servant
15 But when Jesus knew it, (N)He withdrew from there. (O)And great [c]multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. 16 Yet He (P)warned them not to make Him known, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
18 “Behold!(Q) My Servant whom I have chosen,
My Beloved (R)in whom My soul is well pleased!
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel nor cry out,
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till He sends forth justice to victory;
21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”
A House Divided Cannot Stand(S)
22 (T)Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the [d]blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the (U)Son of David?”
24 (V)Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by [e]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
25 But Jesus (W)knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, (X)surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 (Y)Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
The Unpardonable Sin(Z)
31 “Therefore I say to you, (AA)every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, (AB)but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who (AC)speaks a word against the Son of Man, (AD)it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
A Tree Known by Its Fruit(AE)
33 “Either make the tree good and (AF)its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 (AG)Brood[f] of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? (AH)For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure [g]of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
The Scribes and Pharisees Ask for a Sign(AI)
38 (AJ)Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”
39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and (AK)adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 (AL)For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 (AM)The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and (AN)condemn it, (AO)because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. 42 (AP)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
An Unclean Spirit Returns(AQ)
43 (AR)“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, (AS)he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and 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 takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; (AT)and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Send for Him(AU)
46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, (AV)behold, His mother and (AW)brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, “Look, (AX)Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My (AY)brothers! 50 For (AZ)whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

Sabbath Questions
12 [a](A)At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to (B)pick the heads of grain and eat. 2 Now when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what (C)is not lawful to do on a Sabbath!” 3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions— 4 how he entered the house of God, and (D)they ate the [b]consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone? 5 Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple [c]violate the Sabbath, and yet are innocent? 6 But I say to you that something (E)greater than the temple is here. 7 But if you had known what this [d]means: ‘(F)I desire [e]compassion, [f]rather than sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned [g]the innocent.
Lord of the Sabbath
8 For (G)the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 (H)Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned [h]Jesus, asking, “(I)Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might bring charges against Him. 11 But He said to them, “(J)What man [i]is there among you who [j]has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 (K)How much more valuable then is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do [k]good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” (L)He stretched it out, and it was restored to [l]normal, like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and [m](M)conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
15 But Jesus, [n]aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and (N)He healed them all, 16 and (O)warned them not to [o]tell who He was. 17 This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:
18 “(P)Behold, My [p]Servant whom I [q]have chosen;
(Q)My Beloved in whom My soul [r]delights;
(R)I will put My Spirit upon Him,
(S)And He will proclaim [s]justice to the [t]Gentiles.
19 (T)He will not quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 (U)A bent reed He will not break off,
And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish,
Until He [u]leads [v]justice to victory.
21 (V)And in His name the [w]Gentiles will hope.”
The Pharisees Rebuked
22 (W)Then a (X)demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to speak was brought to [x]Jesus, and He healed him so that the man who was unable to speak talked and [y]could see. 23 And all the crowds were amazed and were saying, “This man cannot be the (Y)Son of David, can he?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man (Z)casts out demons only by [z]Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.”
25 (AA)And (AB)knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if (AC)Satan is casting out Satan, he [aa]has become divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if (AD)by [ab]Beelzebul I cast out the demons, (AE)by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. 28 But (AF)if I cast out the demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or, how can anyone enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first ties up the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
The Unpardonable Sin
30 (AG)The one who is not with Me is against Me; and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.
31 “(AH)Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 (AI)And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in (AJ)this age or in the age to come.
Words Reveal Character
33 “Either [ac]assume the tree to be good as well as its fruit good, or [ad]assume the tree to be bad as well as its fruit bad; for (AK)the tree is known by its fruit. 34 (AL)You [ae]offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? (AM)For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart. 35 (AN)The good person brings out of his good treasure good things; and the evil person brings out of his evil treasure evil things. 36 But I tell you that for every [af]careless word that people [ag]speak, they will give an account of it on the (AO)day of judgment. 37 For [ah]by your words you will be justified, and [ai]by your words you will be condemned.”
The Desire for Signs
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, (AP)we want to see a [aj]sign from You.” 39 But He answered and said to them, “(AQ)An evil and adulterous generation craves a [ak]sign; and so no [al]sign will be given to it except the [am]sign of Jonah the prophet; 40 for just as (AR)Jonah was in the stomach of the sea monster for three days and three nights, so will (AS)the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for (AT)three days and three nights. 41 (AU)The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because (AV)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something (AW)greater than Jonah is here. 42 (AX)The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something (AY)greater than Solomon is here.
43 “(AZ)Now when the unclean spirit comes out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they come in and live there; and (BA)the last condition of that person becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”
Changed Relationships
46 (BB)While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His (BC)mother and (BD)brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. 47 [[an]Someone said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to You.”] 48 But [ao]Jesus replied to the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” 49 And extending His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold: My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother, and sister, and mother.”
