马可福音 2

治好瘫子

1 过了些日子，耶稣再回到迦百农。一听说他在屋子里，2 许多人就都来聚集，甚至连门前都没有地方了，耶稣就对他们讲道。3 那时有人把一个瘫子带到耶稣那里，是由四个人抬来的。4 因为人挤，不能带到他面前，就对着耶稣所在的地方，拆去房顶；拆通了，就把瘫子连人带褥子缒了下去。5 耶稣看见他们的信心，就对瘫子说：“孩子，你的罪赦了。”6 当时有几个经学家也坐在那里，心里议论说：7 “这个人为甚么这样说话？他说僭妄的话了。除了 神一位以外，谁能赦罪呢？”8 耶稣心里立刻知道他们这样议论，就对他们说：“你们心里为甚么议论这事？9 对瘫子说‘你的罪赦了’，或说‘起来，拿着你的褥子走’，哪一样容易呢？10 然而为了要你们知道人子在地上有赦罪的权柄，11 我吩咐你，起来，拿起你的褥子，回家去吧。”12 那人就起来，立刻拿着褥子，当众出去了。众人都非常惊奇，颂讚 神，说：“我们从来没有见过这样的事。”
呼召利未13 耶稣又出去，到了加利利海边；众人都到他面前来，他就教导他们。14 他往前走的时候，看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在税关那里，就对他说：“来跟从我！”他就起来跟从了耶稣。15 后来耶稣在利未家里吃饭，有很多税吏和罪人也来与他和门徒一起吃饭；因为这样的人很多，并且他们已经跟随了耶稣。16 法利赛派的经学家，看见耶稣与罪人和税吏一起吃饭，就对耶稣的门徒说：“他跟税吏和罪人一起吃饭吗？”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；我来不是要召义人，而是要召罪人。”
新旧的比喻18 约翰的门徒和法利赛人正在禁食，有人来问耶稣说：“为甚么约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒常常禁食，你的门徒却不禁食呢？”19 耶稣回答：“新郎跟宾客在一起的时候，宾客怎能禁食呢？只要新郎还在，就不能禁食。20 但日子到了，新郎要被取去，离开他们，那一天他们就要禁食了。21 没有人会把一块新布缝在旧衣服上，如果这样，新的布就会把旧衣服扯破，裂开的地方就更大了。22 也没有人会把新酒装在旧皮袋里，如果这样，酒就会把皮袋胀破，酒和皮袋都损坏了；新酒总该装在新皮袋里。”
安息日的主23 有一次，在安息日，耶稣从麦田经过，他的门徒一面走路，一面摘麦穗。24 法利赛人对耶稣说：“你看，他们为甚么作安息日不可作的事？”25 耶稣对他们说：“大卫和跟他一起的人在饥饿缺食的时候所作的，你们没有念过吗？26 他不是在亚比亚他作大祭司的时候，进了 神的殿，吃了除祭司以外谁都不可以吃的陈设饼，而且还给跟他在一起的人吃吗？”27 耶稣又告诉他们：“安息日是为人设立的，人并不是为安息日设立的。28 这样，人子也是安息日的主。”

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.”
