馬可福音 2
治好癱子
1 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，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
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
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
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。”
治好手枯的人
Mark 2
Healing and Forgiving a Paralytic
1 Nowt after some days, when he returned to Capernaum,ss the news spreadt that he was at home.2 So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even byt the door, and he preached the word to them.3 Some peoplet came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.t4 When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roofs above Jesus.t Then,t after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on.5 When Jesus saw theirs faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”s6 Now some of the experts in the lawt were sitting there, turning these things over in their minds:t7 “Why does this man speak this way? He is blaspheming!s Who can forgive sins but God alone?”8 Nowt immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts,t he said to them, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?t9 Which is easier,s to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up, take your stretcher, and walk’?10 But so that you may knows that the Son of Mans has authority on earth to forgive sins,” – he said to the paralytics –11 “I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.”t
12 And immediately the mant stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
The Call of Levi; Eating with Sinners
13 Jesust went out again by the sea. The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them.14 As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax booth.ts “Follow me,” he said to him. And he got up and followed him.15 As Jesust was having a mealts in Levi’st home, many tax collectorss and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.16 When the experts in the lawt and the Phariseess saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”s
17 When Jesus heard this he said to them, “Those who are healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do.s I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
The Superiority of the New
18 Nowt John’ss disciples and the Phariseess were fasting.s Sot they came to Jesust and said, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”19 Jesust said to them, “The wedding guestst cannot fast while the bridegrooms is with them, can they?t As long as they have the bridegroom with them they do not fast.20 But the days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them,s and at that timet they will fast.21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse.
22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins;s otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be destroyed. Instead new wine is poured into new wineskins.”s
Lord of the Sabbath
23 Jesust was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheatt as they made their way.24 Sot the Phariseess said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?”25 He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry –26 how he entered the house of God when Abiathar was high priestt and ate the sacred bread,ts which is against the laws for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?”s27 Thent he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for people,t not people for the Sabbath.
28 For this reason the Son of Man is lordts even of the Sabbath.”
