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.”

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。”

馬 太 福 音 12
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣安息日的主
12 在一个安息日里，耶稣经过一片庄稼地。他的门徒们饿了，就摘了些麦穗来吃。 2 法利赛人看见了，就对耶稣说∶“瞧瞧，你的门徒干的事，在安息日这样做是犯法的（摩西律法）。”
3 耶稣反问他们∶“你们难道没有读到过大卫 [a]和他的随从在饥饿时是怎么做的吗？ 4 尽管吃献给上帝的贡品是犯法的，他们还是进了上帝的大殿，吃了献给上帝的贡品。实际上，只有祭司才可以吃这些供品，可是他和随从们还是吃了。 5 你们没有读过摩西律法吗？祭司在安息日进入大殿院，触犯了关于安息日的律法，但是，他们却是无罪的。 6 我告诉你们，比大殿更伟大的人现在就在此。 7 如果你们理解《经》上所说的∶‘我需要的是人与人之间的怜悯，而不是祭物，’ [b]那么，你们就不会责备那些无辜的人了。
8 人子是安息日的主。”
耶稣治愈残手
9 耶稣离开那地方到会堂去了。 10 那里有个人，他的一只手萎缩了。那里的一些犹太人正伺机找碴控告他。他们问耶稣∶“在安息日里治病 [c]合法吗？” 11 耶稣对他们说∶“假如你们当中某个人的一只羊在安息日掉进坑里，他会把羊从坑里拽出来。 12 何况人比羊重要得多，所以在安息日里做善事是合法的。”
13 耶稣对那个残手的人说∶“把手伸出来。”那个人一伸手，残废的手就康复了，和另一只手一模一样。 14 法利赛人离开会堂，密谋杀害耶稣的计划。
耶稣是上帝选中的仆人
15 耶稣察觉到他们的阴谋，就离开了那里。许多人跟着他。耶稣治好了他们当中所有患病的人， 16 但是耶稣告诉他们不要告诉别人他是谁。 17 这就应验了上帝通过先知以赛亚说的话：
18 “这是我（上帝）的奴仆，
是我所选择的人，
是我所爱的人，他令我非常喜悦，
我将把我的灵赋予他，
他将向普天众生宣布正义。
19 他不争辩，也不喧嚷，
街上没有人能听到他的声音。
20 他不会折断弯腰的芦苇，
也不会吹灭将熄的灯火，
他坚持不懈，
直到公正赢得胜利。
21 普天众生的希望都寄托在他的身上。” (A)
耶稣的力量来自上帝
22 这时，一些人把一个被鬼缠身变得又盲又哑的人带到耶稣面前。耶稣治好了他，他又能说话和看见东西了。 23 众人都吃惊地说∶“这人也许就是大卫的子孙吧！”
24 法利赛人听说了这件事，就说∶“他是依仗魔王别西卜的力量驱鬼的。”
25 耶稣看出他们的心思，说道∶“国家内讧，国家就要灭亡；城市或家庭自相分争就要毁灭； 26 如果撒旦驱赶自己的鬼 [d]，岂不是在和自己做对，他的王国还能够继续存在吗？ 27 再说，如果我是借助魔王之力驱鬼，那么你们的人是借助谁的力量来驱鬼呢？你们的人所作所为证明你们是错的。 28 而我借上帝之灵的力量驱驱鬼，这就证明天国已经降临到你们身上了。
29 谁能闯进大汉的家里偷东西呢？除非先把大汉绑起来，他才能抢劫大汉的家。
30 “不与我同在的人就是反对我，不帮助我聚拢羊群的人就是在驱散它们。 31 我告诉你们，一切罪过和诽谤的话都可以得到宽恕，唯独亵渎圣灵不能得到宽恕； 32 说话冒犯了人子的人会得到宽恕，但是，冒犯了圣灵的人，不论是现在还是将来，都得不到宽恕。
言行体现品格
33 “你们必须种好树，才能结好果。但是，如果你种的是坏树，必定结出恶果，因为树是由它结的果实来分好坏的。 34 你们这些毒蛇，你们这些邪恶的人，怎么可能说出好话来呢？一个人心里是怎么想的，嘴里就会怎么说出来。 35 那些善良的人内心蕴藏着美好，所以，他们的话也是美好的；但是，恶人的内心却盛满着邪恶，他们的话也就充满了邪恶。 36 我告诉你们，在审判之日，所有的人都必须解释清楚他们无心说出的每一句话。 37 根据你们的话，你们会被判无罪，同样根据你们的话，你们也会被判有罪。”
一些人怀疑耶稣的权威
38 一些律法师和法利赛人说“老师，我们想让您显示个神迹给我们看看。”
39 耶稣回答说∶“邪恶、没信仰的一代人寻求神迹，可是除了先知约拿的神迹以外，没有别的神迹会给他们看。 40 正如约拿在大鱼肚子里呆了三天三夜，人子将在墓穴里呆三天三夜。 41 在审判日那天，尼尼微 [e]人要站起来控告你们这一代人，因为他们听了约拿的传教就悔改了。然而比约拿更伟大的就在此地！ 42 在审判日那天，南方的女王 [f]要站起来控告你们这一代人，因为她从天涯海角来，聆听所罗门的智慧，而现在比所罗门更伟大的人就在此！
空虚的危险
43 “有个邪灵，离开了一个人的躯体，游荡在干燥的旷野，想找个地方休息，却找不到。 44 于是它自言自语地说∶‘我还是回到我原来的家吧。’于是它回到了那个人的身体里。它发现里边空空荡荡，并且被打扫得既干净又整齐， 45 于是它招来了七个比它还坏的邪灵，一起进去住了下来，结果这个人处境比以前更坏了。邪恶的现代人就像这个人一样。”
耶稣视信徒为家人
46 耶稣正对人们讲话时，他母亲和兄弟来了，站在外边想和他说话。 47 有人告诉耶稣∶“您的母亲和兄弟在外边，他们想跟您说话。”
48 耶稣回答道∶“谁是我的母亲？谁是我的兄弟？” 49 他指着门徒们说，“他们才是我的母亲和兄弟。 50 我真正的母亲和兄弟姐妹，是那些遵行我在天之父的旨意的人。”
