马太福音 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
安息日的主(A)
12 安息日那天，耶穌從麥田經過；他的門徒餓了，就摘了些麥穗來吃。 2 法利賽人看見了，就對他說：“你看，你的門徒作了安息日不可作的事。” 3 耶穌對他們說：“大衛和跟他在一起的人，在飢餓的時候所作的，你們沒有念過嗎？ 4 他不是進了 神的殿，吃了他和跟他在一起的人不可以吃，只有祭司才可以吃的陳設餅嗎？ 5 律法書上記著：安息日，祭司在殿裡供職，觸犯了安息日，也不算有罪；你們也沒有念過嗎？ 6 我告訴你們，這裡有一位是比聖殿更大的。 7 如果你們明白‘我喜愛憐憫，不喜愛祭祀’這句話的意思，就不會把無罪的定罪了。 8 因為人子是安息日的主。”
治好手枯的人(B)
9 耶穌離開那裡，來到他們的會堂。 10 會堂裡有一個人，他的一隻手枯乾了。有人問耶穌：“在安息日治病，可以嗎？”目的是要控告耶穌。 11 耶穌回答：“你們當中有哪一個，他僅有的一隻羊在安息日跌進坑裡，會不把羊抓住拉上來呢？ 12 人比羊貴重得多了！所以，在安息日行善是可以的。” 13 於是對那人說：“伸出手來！”他把手一伸，就復原了，好像另一隻手一樣。 14 法利賽人出去，商議怎樣對付耶穌，好殺掉他。
神揀選的僕人
15 耶穌知道了，就離開那裡。有很多人跟隨他，他醫好他們所有的病人， 16 又囑咐他們不可替他張揚。 17 這就應驗了以賽亞先知所說的：
18 “看哪！我所揀選的僕人，
我所愛，心裡所喜悅的；
我要把我的靈賜給他，
他必向萬國宣揚公理。
19 他不爭吵，也不喧嚷，
人在街上聽不見他的聲音。
20 壓傷的蘆葦，他不折斷，
將殘的燈火，他不吹滅；
直到他施行公理，使公理得勝。
21 萬民都要寄望於他的名。”
耶穌靠 神的靈趕鬼(C)
22 有人帶了一個被鬼附著、又瞎又啞的人到耶穌那裡。耶穌醫好了他，那啞巴就能說話，也能看見了。 23 群眾都很驚奇，說：“難道他就是大衛的子孫？” 24 法利賽人聽見了，說：“這個人趕鬼，只不過是靠鬼王別西卜罷了。” 25 耶穌知道他們的心思，就對他們說：“如果一個國家自相紛爭，就必定荒涼；一城一家自相紛爭，必站立不住。 26 如果撒但趕逐撒但，就會自相紛爭。那麼，他的國怎能站立得住呢？ 27 我若靠別西卜趕鬼，你們的子孫又靠誰趕鬼呢？這樣，他們就要斷定你們的不是。 28 我若靠 神的靈趕鬼， 神的國就已經臨到你們了。 29 如果不先把壯漢綁起來，怎能進到他的家裡，搶奪財物呢？如果綁起來了，就可以搶劫他的家了。 30 不站在我這一邊的就是反對我的，不跟我一起收聚的，就是分散的。 31 因此，我告訴你們，人的一切罪和褻瀆的話，都可以赦免；可是，褻瀆聖靈就得不著赦免。 32 無論誰說話得罪了人子，還可以赦免；但說話得罪了聖靈的，今生來世都得不著赦免。
種好樹結好果子(D)
33 “你們種好樹就結好果子，種壞樹就結壞果子；憑著果子就能認出樹來。 34 毒蛇所生的啊，你們既然是邪惡的，怎能說出良善的話？因為心中所充滿的，口裡就說出來。 35 良善的人從他良善的心（“心”原文作“庫房”）發出良善，邪惡的人從他邪惡的心（“心”原文作“庫房”）發出邪惡。 36 我告訴你們，人所說的閒話，在審判的日子，句句都要供出來， 37 因為你要照你的話被稱為義，或定為有罪。”
約拿的神蹟(E)
38 當時，有一些經學家和法利賽人對耶穌說：“老師，我們想請你顯個神蹟看看。” 39 但耶穌說：“邪惡和淫亂的世代尋求神蹟，除了約拿先知的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給你們了。 40 約拿怎樣三日三夜在大魚的腹中，人子也要照樣三日三夜在地裡。 41 審判的時候，尼尼微人要和這個世代一同起來，定這個世代的罪，因為他們聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。你看，這裡有一位是比約拿更大的。 42 審判的時候，南方的女王要和這個世代一同起來，定這個世代的罪，因為她從地極來到，要聽所羅門智慧的話。你看，這裡有一位是比所羅門更大的。
污靈去而復返的教訓(F)
43 “有一個污靈離開了一個人，走遍乾旱之地，尋找棲身的地方，卻沒有找到。 44 他就說：‘我要回到我從前離開了的那房子。’到了之後，看見裡面空著，已經打掃乾淨，粉飾好了， 45 他就去帶了另外七個比自己更惡的污靈來，一齊進去住在那裡；那人後來的情況，比以前更壞了。這邪惡的世代也會這樣。”
誰是耶穌的母親和弟兄(G)
46 耶穌還在對群眾講話的時候，他的母親和弟弟站在外面，要找他講話。 47 有人告訴耶穌：“你的母親和弟弟站在外面，有話要跟你說。” 48 他回答那人：“誰是我的母親？誰是我的弟兄？” 49 他伸手指著門徒說：“你看，我的母親，我的弟兄！ 50 凡是遵行我天父旨意的，就是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親了。”
Matthew 12
King James Version
12 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
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.”
