Mark 2
Lexham English Bible
A Paralytic Healed
2 And when he[a] entered again into Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home. 2 And many had gathered, so that there was no longer room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them. 3 And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4 And when[b] they were not able to bring him[c] to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And after[d] digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying. 5 And when[e] Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?” 8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they were reasoning like this within themselves, said to them, “Why are you considering these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk’? 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—he said to the paralytic— 11 “I say to you, get up, pick up your stretcher, and go to your home.” 12 And he got up and immediately picked up his[f] stretcher and[g] went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything[h] like this!”
Levi Called to Follow Jesus
13 And he went out again beside the sea,[i] and all the crowd was coming to him, and he began to teach[j] them. 14 And as he[k] was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me!” And he stood up and[l] followed him.
15 And it happened that he was dining[m] in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with[n] Jesus and his disciples, for there were many and they were following him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they[o] saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, began to say[p] to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 And when[q] Jesus heard it[r], he said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.[s] I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
On Fasting
18 And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and said to him, “Why[t] do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, “The bridegroom’s attendants[u] are not able to fast while the bridegroom is with them, are they?[v] As long a time as they have the bridegroom with them, they are not able to fast. 20 But days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment. Otherwise[w] the patch pulls away from it—the new from the old—and the tear becomes worse. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise[x] the wine will burst the wineskins and the wine is destroyed and the wineskins too. But new wine is put into new wineskins.”
Plucking Grain on the Sabbath
23 And it happened that he was going through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to make their way while[y] plucking off the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees began to say[z] to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those who were with him were hungry— 26 how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests) and also gave it[aa] to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath. 28 So then, the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

马可福音 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
治好瘫子
2 几天后,耶稣回到迦百农。祂在家的消息一传开, 2 立刻有许多人蜂拥而来,连门外也挤满了人。耶稣正给他们讲道的时候, 3 有四个人抬着一个瘫痪的人来见祂。 4 但因为人太多,他们无法抬到耶稣跟前,就拆掉屋顶,对准耶稣所坐的地方,将瘫子连垫子一起缒下去。 5 耶稣看见他们的信心,就对瘫子说:“孩子,你的罪被赦免了!” 6 有几个律法教师坐在那里,心里议论说: 7 “这是什么话?简直是亵渎上帝!除了上帝之外,谁能赦罪呢?”
8 耶稣立刻看透了他们的心思,就说:“你们为什么这样心里议论呢? 9 对瘫子说‘你的罪得到赦免了’容易呢,还是说‘起来,收拾你的垫子走吧’容易呢? 10 但我要让你们知道人子在世上有赦罪的权柄。”于是祂对瘫子说: 11 “我吩咐你起来收拾你的垫子回家去吧。” 12 那人就站起来,马上收拾好垫子,当着众人的面走了出去。众人都十分惊奇,赞美上帝说:“我们从来没见过这样的事!”
呼召利未
13 耶稣又出去到了湖边。有一大群人围拢过来,祂就教导他们。 14 耶稣往前走的时候,看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在收税站里工作,就对他说:“跟从我!”利未就起来跟从了耶稣。
15 后来,利未请耶稣和祂的门徒到家里坐席,同席的还有很多已经跟随耶稣的税吏和罪人。 16 有几位法利赛人的律法教师看见耶稣跟税吏和罪人同席,就问耶稣的门徒:“祂怎么会跟这些税吏和罪人一起吃饭呢?”
17 耶稣听见了,就说:“健康的人不需要医生,有病的人才需要。我来不是要召义人,乃是要召罪人。”
论禁食
18 约翰的门徒和法利赛人都在禁食的时候,有人来问耶稣:“约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒禁食,为什么你的门徒不禁食呢?”
19 耶稣对他们说:“新郎还在的时候,宾客怎能在婚宴中禁食呢?新郎还跟他们在一起的时候,他们不该禁食。 20 但有一天新郎将被带走,那时他们就要禁食了。
21 “没有人会用新布来补旧衣服,因为新布会把旧衣服扯破,破洞会更大; 22 也没有人把新酒倒进旧皮囊里,否则新酒会胀破旧皮囊,酒和皮囊都毁了。所以,新酒一定要装在新皮囊里。”
安息日的主
23 一个安息日,耶稣和门徒走过一片麦田,门徒一边走一边搓麦穗吃。 24 法利赛人批评耶稣说:“看看你的门徒,他们为什么做安息日不准做的事?”
25 耶稣回答说:“大卫和他的部下在饥饿、缺粮时所做的事,你们没有读过吗? 26 在亚比亚他做大祭司时,他进入上帝的殿吃了献给上帝的供饼,还给他的部下吃。这饼只有祭司才可以吃。 27 安息日是为人设立的,人不是为安息日设立的。 28 所以,人子也是安息日的主。”
Marcos 2
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Jesús y el paralítico
2 Después de varios días, Jesús regresó al pueblo de Cafarnaúm. Apenas se supo que Jesús estaba en casa, 2 mucha gente fue a verlo. Era tanta la gente que ya no cabía nadie más frente a la entrada. Entonces Jesús comenzó a anunciarles las buenas noticias.
3 De pronto, llegaron a la casa cuatro personas. Llevaban en una camilla a un hombre que nunca había podido caminar. 4 Como había tanta gente, subieron al techo[a] y abrieron un agujero. Por allí bajaron al enfermo en la camilla donde estaba acostado.
5 Cuando Jesús vio la gran confianza que aquellos hombres tenían en él, le dijo al paralítico: «Amigo, te perdono tus pecados.»
6 Al oír lo que Jesús le dijo al paralítico, unos maestros de la Ley que allí estaban pensaron: 7 «¿Cómo se atreve éste a hablar así? ¡Lo que dice es una ofensa contra Dios! Sólo Dios puede perdonar pecados.»
8 Pero Jesús se dio cuenta de lo que estaban pensando, y les dijo: «¿Por qué piensan así? 9 Díganme, ¿qué es más fácil? ¿Perdonar a este enfermo, o sanarlo? 10 Pues voy a demostrarles que yo, el Hijo del hombre, tengo autoridad aquí en la tierra para perdonar pecados.»
Entonces le dijo al que no podía caminar: 11 «Levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa.»
12 En ese mismo instante, y ante la mirada de todos, aquel hombre se levantó, tomó la camilla y salió de allí. Al verlo, todos se quedaron admirados y comenzaron a alabar a Dios diciendo: «¡Nunca habíamos visto nada como esto!»
Jesús llama a Mateo
13 Después de esto, Jesús fue otra vez a la orilla del Lago de Galilea. Mucha gente se reunió a su alrededor, y él se puso a enseñarles.
14 Luego, mientras caminaban, Jesús vio a Mateo hijo de Alfeo, que estaba sentado en el lugar donde cobraba los impuestos para Roma. Jesús le dijo: «Sígueme.»
Mateo se levantó enseguida y lo siguió.
15 Más tarde, Jesús y sus discípulos estaban cenando en la casa de Mateo. Muchos de los que cobraban impuestos, y otras personas de mala fama que ahora seguían a Jesús, también fueron invitados a la cena.
16 Cuando algunos maestros de la Ley, que eran fariseos, vieron a Jesús comiendo con toda esa gente, les preguntaron a los discípulos:
—¿Por qué su maestro come con cobradores de impuestos y con gente de mala fama?
17 Jesús los oyó y les contestó:
—Los que necesitan al médico son los enfermos, no los sanos. Y yo vine a invitar a los pecadores para que regresen a Dios, no a los que se creen buenos.
Jesús enseña sobre el ayuno
18 Una vez, los discípulos de Juan el Bautista y los discípulos de los fariseos estaban ayunando. Algunas personas fueron a donde estaba Jesús y le preguntaron:
—¿Por qué tus discípulos no ayunan? Los discípulos de Juan y los discípulos de los fariseos sí lo hacen.
19 Jesús les respondió:
—Los invitados a una fiesta de bodas no ayunan mientras el novio está con ellos; 20 pero llegará el momento en que se lleven al novio, y entonces los invitados ayunarán.
21 »Si un vestido viejo se rompe, nadie le pone un parche de tela nueva; porque al lavarse el vestido, la tela nueva se encoge y el hueco se hace más grande.
22 »Tampoco se echa vino nuevo en recipientes de cuero viejo; porque al fermentar el vino nuevo hace que el cuero viejo se reviente. Así el vino nuevo se pierde, y los recipientes también. Por eso hay que echar vino nuevo en recipientes nuevos.
Los discípulos arrancan espigas de trigo
23 Un sábado, mientras Jesús y sus discípulos iban por un campo sembrado de trigo, los discípulos comenzaron a arrancar espigas.[b] 24 Cuando los fariseos vieron esto, le dijeron a Jesús:
—¡Mira lo que hacen tus discípulos! ¿Acaso no saben que está prohibido arrancar espigas en el día de descanso?
25-26 Jesús les respondió:
—¿No han leído ustedes en la Biblia lo que hizo el rey David, cuando Abiatar era el jefe de los sacerdotes? David y sus compañeros sufrían gran necesidad y tenían mucha hambre. Entonces David entró en la casa de Dios y comió del pan especial, que sólo a los sacerdotes les estaba permitido comer, y lo compartió con sus compañeros.
Además les dijo:
27 —El sábado se hizo para el bien de los seres humanos, y no los seres humanos para el bien del sábado. 28 Yo, el Hijo del hombre, soy quien decide qué puede hacerse y qué no puede hacerse en el día de descanso.
