马太福音 12
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
在安息日摘麦穗(A)
12 那时，耶稣在安息日从麦田经过。他的门徒饿了，就摘麦穗来吃。 2 法利赛人看见，对耶稣说：“看哪，你的门徒在安息日做不合法的事了。” 3 耶稣对他们说：“大卫和跟从他的人饥饿时所做的事，你们没有念过吗？ 4 他怎么进了 神的居所，吃了供饼呢？这饼是他和跟从他的人不可以吃的，惟独祭司才可以吃。 5 再者，律法上所记的，在安息日，祭司在圣殿里犯了安息日也不算有罪，你们没有念过吗？ 6 但我告诉你们，比圣殿更大的在这里。 7 ‘我喜爱怜悯，不喜爱祭祀。’你们若明白这话的意思，就不将无罪的当作有罪了。 8 因为人子是安息日的主。”
治好萎缩了的手(B)
9 耶稣离开那地方，进了犹太人的会堂； 10 那里有个一只手萎缩了的人。有人为了要控告耶稣，就问他：“安息日治病合不合法？” 11 耶稣对他们说：“你们中间谁有一只羊在安息日掉在坑里，不抓住它，把它拉上来呢？ 12 人比羊贵重得多了！所以，在安息日做善事是合法的。” 13 于是对那人说：“伸出手来！”他把手一伸，手就复原了，和另一只一样。 14 法利赛人出去，商议怎样除掉耶稣。
神所拣选的仆人
15 耶稣知道了，就离开那里，有一大群人跟着他。他把所有的病人都治好了， 16 又嘱咐他们不要把他宣扬出去。 17 这是要应验以赛亚先知所说的话：
18 “看哪，我所拣选的仆人，
我所亲爱，心所喜悦的；
我要将我的灵赐给他，
他必将公理传给外邦。
19 他不争吵，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，
直到他使公理得胜。
21 外邦人都要仰望他的名。”
诬蔑耶稣为别西卜(C)
22 当时，有人把一个被鬼附，又盲又哑的人带到耶稣那里，耶稣医治他，那哑巴就能说话，又能看见。 23 众人都惊奇，说：“这不是大卫之子吗？” 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罢了。” 25 耶稣知道他们的心思，就对他们说：“一国自相纷争，必定荒芜；一城一家自相纷争，必立不住。 26 若撒但赶出撒但，就是自相纷争，他的国怎能立得住呢？ 27 我若靠着别西卜赶鬼，你们的子弟赶鬼又靠着谁呢？这样，他们要作你们的判官。 28 我若靠着 神的灵赶鬼，那么， 神的国就已临到你们了。 29 人怎能进壮士家里抢夺他的东西呢？除非先绑住那壮士，否则无法抢夺他的家。 30 不跟我一起的，就是反对我；不与我一起收聚的，就是在拆散。 31 所以我告诉你们，人一切的罪和亵渎的话都可得赦免，但是亵渎圣灵，总不得赦免。 32 凡说话干犯人子的，还可得赦免；但是说话干犯圣灵的，今世来世总不得赦免。”
树和果子(D)
33 “你们知道树好，果子也好；又知道树坏，果子也坏；因为看果子就可以知道树。 34 毒蛇的孽种啊，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 善人从他所存的善发出善来；恶人从他所存的恶发出恶来。 36 我告诉你们，凡是人所说的闲话，在审判的日子，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(E)
38 当时，有几个文士和法利赛人对耶稣说：“老师，我们想请你显个神迹给我们看看。” 39 耶稣回答他们：“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了。 40 约拿三日三夜在大鱼肚腹中，同样，人子也要三日三夜在地里面。 41 在审判的时候，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，比约拿更大的在这里！ 42 在审判的时候，南方的女王要起来定这世代的罪，因为她从地极而来，要听所罗门智慧的话。看哪，比所罗门更大的在这里！”
污灵回来(F)
43 “污灵离了人身，走遍无水之地寻找安歇之处，却找不到。 44 于是他说：‘我要回到我原来的屋里去。’他到了，看见里面空着，打扫干净，修饰好了， 45 就去另带了七个比自己更恶的灵来，都进去住在那里。那人后来的景况比先前更坏了。这邪恶的世代也要如此。”
遵父旨意的人都是亲属(G)
46 耶稣还在对众人说话的时候，不料，他母亲和他兄弟站在外边想要跟他说话。 47 有人告诉他：“看哪！你母亲和你兄弟站在外边，想要跟你说话。”[a] 48 他却回答那对他说话的人，说：“谁是我的母亲？谁是我的兄弟？” 49 于是他伸手指着门徒，说：“看哪，我的母亲，我的兄弟！ 50 凡遵行我天父旨意的人就是我的兄弟、姊妹和母亲。”

Contemporary English Version
A Question about the Sabbath
(Mark 2.23-28; Luke 6.1-5)
12 (A) One Sabbath, Jesus and his disciples were walking through some wheat fields.[a] His disciples were hungry and began picking and eating grains of wheat. 2 Some Pharisees noticed this and said to Jesus, “Why are your disciples picking grain on the Sabbath? They are not supposed to do this!”
3 (B) Jesus answered:
You surely must have read what David did when he and his followers were hungry. 4 (C) He went into the house of God, and then they ate the sacred loaves of bread that only priests are supposed to eat. 5 (D) Haven't you read in the Law of Moses that the priests are allowed to work in the temple on the Sabbath? But no one says they are guilty of breaking the law of the Sabbath. 6 I tell you there is something here greater than the temple. 7 (E) Don't you know what the Scriptures mean when they say, “Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others?” If you knew what this means, you would not condemn these innocent disciples of mine. 8 So the Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath.
A Man with a Paralyzed Hand
(Mark 3.1-6; Luke 6.6-11)
9 Jesus left and went into one of their synagogues, 10 where there was a man whose hand was paralyzed. Some Pharisees wanted to accuse Jesus of doing something wrong, so they asked him, “Is it right to heal someone on the Sabbath?”
11 (F) Jesus answered, “If one of your sheep fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldn't you lift it out? 12 People are worth much more than sheep, and so it is right to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then Jesus told the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did, and it became as healthy as the other one.
14 The Pharisees left and started making plans to kill Jesus.
God's Chosen Servant
15 When Jesus found out what was happening, he left there and large crowds followed him. He healed all of their sick, 16 but warned them not to tell anyone about him. 17 So God's promise came true, just as Isaiah the prophet had said,
18 (G) “Here is my chosen servant!
I love him,
and he pleases me.
I will give him my Spirit,
and he will bring justice
to the nations.
19 He won't shout or yell
or call out in the streets.
20 He won't break off a bent reed
or put out a dying flame,
but he will make sure
that justice is done.
21 All nations will place
their hope in him.”
Jesus and the Ruler of the Demons
(Mark 3.20-30; Luke 11.14-23; 12.10)
22 Some people brought to Jesus a man who was blind and could not talk because he had a demon in him. Jesus healed the man, and then he was able to talk and see. 23 The crowds were so amazed they asked, “Could Jesus be the Son of David?”[b]
24 (H) When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “He forces out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons!”
25 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said to them:
Any kingdom where people fight each other will end up ruined. And a town or family that fights will soon destroy itself. 26 So if Satan fights against himself, how can his kingdom last? 27 If I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons, whose power do your own followers use to force them out? Your followers are the ones who will judge you. 28 But when I force out demons by the power of God's Spirit, it proves that God's kingdom has already come to you. 29 (I) How can anyone break into a strong man's house and steal his things, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can take everything.
30 (J) If you are not on my side, you are against me. If you don't gather in the harvest with me, you scatter it. 31-32 (K) I tell you any sinful thing you do or say can be forgiven. Even if you speak against the Son of Man, you can be forgiven. But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven, either in this life or in the life to come.
A Tree and Its Fruit
(Luke 6.43-45)
33 (L) A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. You can tell what a tree is like by the fruit it produces. 34 (M) You are a bunch of evil snakes, so how can you say anything good? Your words show what is in your hearts. 35 Good people bring good things out of their hearts, but evil people bring evil things out of their hearts. 36 I promise you on the day of judgment, everyone will have to account for every careless word they have spoken. 37 On that day they will be told they are either innocent or guilty because of the things they have said.
A Sign from Heaven
(Mark 8.11,12; Luke 11.29-32)
38 (N) Some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses said, “Teacher, we want you to show us a sign from heaven.”
39 (O) But Jesus replied:
You want a sign because you are evil and won't believe! But the only sign you will get is the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 (P) He was in the stomach of a big fish for three days and nights, just as the Son of Man will be deep in the earth for three days and nights. 41 (Q) On the day of judgment the people of Nineveh[c] will stand there with you and condemn you. They turned to God when Jonah preached, and yet here is something far greater than Jonah. 42 (R) The Queen of the South[d] will also stand there with you and condemn you. She traveled a long way to hear Solomon's wisdom, and yet here is something much greater than Solomon.
Return of an Evil Spirit
(Luke 11.24-26)
43 When an evil spirit leaves a person, it travels through the desert, looking for a place to rest. But when the demon doesn't find a place, 44 it says, “I will go back to the home I left.” When it gets there and finds the place empty, clean, and neat, 45 it goes off and finds seven other evil spirits even worse than itself. They all come and make their home there, and the person ends up in worse shape than before. That's how it will be with you evil people of today.
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
(Mark 3.31-35; Luke 8.19-21)
46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers came and stood outside because they wanted to talk with him. 47 Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside and want to talk with you.”[e]
48 Jesus answered, “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?” 49 Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “These are my mother and my brothers! 50 Anyone who obeys my Father in heaven is my brother or sister or mother.”

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.”
