马可福音 2
赦罪与治病
1 过了些日子,耶稣又进了迦百农。人们听说他在房子t里,2 许多人就聚集,甚至连门前都没有空处了。于是耶稣就向他们讲道。3 这时候,一些人带了一个瘫痪的人来到耶稣那里,是被四个人抬来的;4 但由于人多,无法抬到耶稣面前t,他们就把耶稣上方的屋顶拆了。拆通之后,就把躺在垫子上那瘫痪的人缒了下去。
5 耶稣看见他们的信心,就对瘫痪的人说:“孩子,你的罪孽被赦免了。”
6 可是,有一些经文士坐在那里,心里想:7 “这个人怎么这样说话呢?他说亵渎的话!除了神一位之外,谁能赦免罪呢?”
8 耶稣灵里立刻知道他们心里这样想,就对他们说:“你们心里为什么想这些事呢?9 对这瘫痪的人说‘你的罪孽被赦免了’,或说‘你起来,拿起垫子走路’,哪一样更容易呢?10 不过为要使你们知道人子在地上有赦免罪的权柄——”就对瘫痪的人说:11 “我吩咐你:起来,拿起你的垫子,回家去吧!”
12 那个人就立刻起来,拿起垫子在大家面前出去了。结果大家都惊讶,就荣耀神,说:“我们从来没有见过这样的事。”
呼召马太
13 后来,耶稣又出去,到了加利利湖边t。众人都来到他那里,他就教导他们。14 耶稣往前走,看见亚勒腓的儿子利未t在税关坐着。耶稣对他说:“你跟从我!”就站起来,跟从了耶稣。
与罪人吃饭
15 耶稣在利未家里坐席的时候,许多税吏和罪人与耶稣及他的门徒们一同坐席,因为有许多这样的人也跟随了耶稣。16 有些法利赛派的经文士t见耶稣与罪人和税吏一起吃饭,就对耶稣的门徒们说:“他怎么与那些税吏和罪人一起吃饭t呢?”
17 耶稣听见了,就对他们说:“健康的人不需要医生,有病的人才需要。我来不是要召唤义人,而是要召唤罪人t。”
禁食的问题
18 约翰的门徒们和法利赛人t正禁食的时候,有些人来问耶稣:“为什么约翰的门徒们和法利赛人的门徒们都禁食,而你的门徒们却不禁食呢?”
19 耶稣对他们说:“新郎与宾客t在一起的时候,难道宾客能禁食吗?只要他们与新郎在一起,他们就不能禁食。20 可是日子将要来到:当新郎从他们中间被带走的时候,他们那时——在那一天就要禁食了。21 没有人把没缩过水的布块补在旧衣服上。否则所补上的新布会扯坏旧衣服,造成更大的裂口。22 同样,也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里,否则酒t会胀破皮袋,酒和皮袋都糟蹋了t。因此,新酒必须装t在新皮袋里。”
安息日的主
23 有一次在安息日,耶稣从麦田经过,他的门徒们开始边走边摘麦穗。24 有些法利赛人对耶稣说:“你看,他们为什么做安息日不可以做的事呢?”
25 耶稣对他们说:“大卫和那些与他在一起的人饥饿缺乏时所做的事,难道你们从来没有读过吗?26 在亚比亚达任大祭司的时候,他难道不是进了神的殿t,吃了陈设饼,还分给与他在一起的人吗?这饼除了祭司,谁都不可以吃。”27 接着,耶稣对他们说:“安息日是为人而存在的,人不是为安息日而存在的。28 所以,人子是主,也是安息日的主。”
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.”
