Mark 2
Names of God Bible
Jesus Forgives Sins(A)
2 Several days later Yeshua came back to Capernaum. The report went out that he was home. 2 Many people had gathered. There was no room left, even in front of the door. Yeshua was speaking God’s word to them.
3 Four men came to him carrying a paralyzed man. 4 Since they could not bring him to Yeshua because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof over the place where Yeshua was. Then they lowered the cot on which the paralyzed man was lying.
5 When Yeshua saw their faith, he said to the man, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Some experts in Moses’ Teachings were sitting there. They thought, 7 “Why does he talk this way? He’s dishonoring God. Who besides God can forgive sins?”
8 At once, Yeshua knew inwardly what they were thinking. He asked them, “Why do you have these thoughts? 9 Is it easier to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your cot, and walk’? 10 I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” Then he said to the paralyzed man, 11 “I’m telling you to get up, pick up your cot, and go home!”
12 The man got up, immediately picked up his cot, and walked away while everyone watched. Everyone was amazed and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”
Jesus Chooses Levi [Matthew] to Be a Disciple(B)
13 Yeshua went to the seashore again. Large crowds came to him, and he taught them.
14 When Yeshua was leaving, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting in a tax office. Yeshua said to him, “Follow me!” So Levi got up and followed him.
15 Later Yeshua was having dinner at Levi’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners who were followers of Yeshua were eating with him and his disciples. 16 When the experts in Moses’ Teachings who were Pharisees saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 When Yeshua heard that, he said to them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor; those who are sick do. I’ve come to call sinners, not people who think they have God’s approval.”
Jesus Is Questioned about Fasting(C)
18 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came to Yeshua and said to him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but your disciples don’t?”
19 Yeshua replied, “Can wedding guests fast while the groom is still with them? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.
21 “No one patches an old coat with a new piece of cloth that will shrink. Otherwise, the new patch will shrink and rip away some of the old cloth, and the tear will become worse. 22 People don’t pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the wine will make the skins burst, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine is to be poured into fresh skins.”
Jesus Has Authority over the Day of Worship(D)
23 Once on a day of worship Yeshua was going through the grainfields. As the disciples walked along, they began to pick the heads of grain.
24 The Pharisees asked him, “Look! Why are your disciples doing something that is not permitted on the day of worship?”
25 Yeshua asked them, “Haven’t you ever read what David did when he and his men were in need and were hungry? 26 Haven’t you ever read how he went into the house of God when Abiathar was chief priest and ate the bread of the presence? He had no right to eat those loaves. Only the priests have that right. Haven’t you ever read how he also gave some of it to his men?”
27 Then he added, “The day of worship was made for people, not people for the day of worship. 28 For this reason the Son of Man has authority over the day of worship.”
Mark 2
New King James Version
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic(A)
2 And again (B)He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 [a]Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a (C)paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? (D)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 9 (E)Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has [b]power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and (F)glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Matthew the Tax Collector(G)
13 (H)Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them. 14 (I)As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, (J)“Follow Me.” So he arose and (K)followed Him.
15 (L)Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him. 16 And when the scribes [c]and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, (M)“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, [d]to repentance.”
Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting(N)
18 (O)The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the [e]friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. 20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be (P)taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(Q)
23 (R)Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began (S)to pluck the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is (T)not lawful on the Sabbath?”
25 But He said to them, “Have you never read (U)what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: 26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, (V)which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?”
27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the (W)Sabbath. 28 Therefore (X)the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
马可福音 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
治好癱子(A)
2 過了些日子，耶穌再回到迦百農。一聽說他在屋子裡， 2 許多人就都來聚集，甚至連門前都沒有地方了，耶穌就對他們講道。 3 那時有人把一個癱子帶到耶穌那裡，是由四個人抬來的。 4 因為人擠，不能帶到他面前，就對著耶穌所在的地方，拆去房頂；拆通了，就把癱子連人帶褥子縋了下去。 5 耶穌看見他們的信心，就對癱子說：“孩子，你的罪赦了。” 6 當時有幾個經學家也坐在那裡，心裡議論說： 7 “這個人為甚麼這樣說話？他說僭妄的話了。除了 神一位以外，誰能赦罪呢？” 8 耶穌心裡立刻知道他們這樣議論，就對他們說：“你們心裡為甚麼議論這事？ 9 對癱子說‘你的罪赦了’，或說‘起來，拿著你的褥子走’，哪一樣容易呢？ 10 然而為了要你們知道人子在地上有赦罪的權柄，（他就對癱子說：） 11 我吩咐你，起來，拿起你的褥子，回家去吧。” 12 那人就起來，立刻拿著褥子，當眾出去了。眾人都非常驚奇，頌讚 神，說：“我們從來沒有見過這樣的事。”
呼召利未(B)
13 耶穌又出去，到了加利利海邊；眾人都到他面前來，他就教導他們。 14 他往前走的時候，看見亞勒腓的兒子利未坐在稅關那裡，就對他說：“來跟從我！”他就起來跟從了耶穌。 15 後來耶穌在利未家裡吃飯，有很多稅吏和罪人也來與他和門徒一起吃飯；因為這樣的人很多，並且他們已經跟隨了耶穌。 16 法利賽派的經學家，看見耶穌與罪人和稅吏一起吃飯，就對耶穌的門徒說：“他跟稅吏和罪人一起吃飯嗎？” 17 耶穌聽見了，就對他們說：“健康的人不需要醫生，有病的人才需要；我來不是要召義人，而是要召罪人。”
新舊的比喻(C)
18 約翰的門徒和法利賽人正在禁食，有人來問耶穌說：“為甚麼約翰的門徒和法利賽人的門徒常常禁食，你的門徒卻不禁食呢？” 19 耶穌回答：“新郎跟賓客在一起的時候，賓客怎能禁食呢？只要新郎還在，就不能禁食。 20 但日子到了，新郎要被取去，離開他們，那一天他們就要禁食了。 21 沒有人會把一塊新布縫在舊衣服上，如果這樣，新的布就會把舊衣服扯破，裂開的地方就更大了。 22 也沒有人會把新酒裝在舊皮袋裡，如果這樣，酒就會把皮袋脹破，酒和皮袋都損壞了；新酒總該裝在新皮袋裡。”
安息日的主(D)
23 有一次，在安息日，耶穌從麥田經過，他的門徒一面走路，一面摘麥穗。 24 法利賽人對耶穌說：“你看，他們為甚麼作安息日不可作的事？” 25 耶穌對他們說：“大衛和跟他一起的人在飢餓缺食的時候所作的，你們沒有念過嗎？ 26 他不是在亞比亞他作大祭司的時候，進了 神的殿，吃了除祭司以外誰都不可以吃的陳設餅，而且還給跟他在一起的人吃嗎？” 27 耶穌又告訴他們：“安息日是為人設立的，人並不是為安息日設立的。 28 這樣，人子也是安息日的主。”
