第一批門徒

有一次,當人群擁擠著耶穌,聽神的話語[a]的時候,他正站在革尼撒勒湖邊[b] 他看見湖邊停著兩條船,漁夫們下了船,正在洗網。 有一條船是西門的,耶穌上去,請他把船划出去,稍微離岸。耶穌就坐下來,從船上教導眾人。

講完了以後,他對西門說:「把船划到水深的地方,下網捕魚吧。」

西門回答說:「老師,我們勞碌了一整夜,什麼也沒有捕到。不過按照你的話,我就下網吧。」

他們這樣做了,網住了一大群魚,漁網幾乎要撐破。 他們就招呼另一條船上的夥伴來幫忙;他們過來,裝滿了兩條船,甚至兩條船都幾乎要沉下去了。

西門彼得看見,就俯伏在耶穌腳[c]前,說:「主啊,離開我吧,因為我是個罪人!」 那時,他和所有與他一起的人,都對這一網捕到的魚驚訝不已。 10 西門的夥伴,就是西庇太的兒子雅各約翰,也同樣驚訝。

耶穌對西門說:「不要怕!從今以後,你將得人了[d]。」 11 他們把兩條船靠了岸,捨棄一切跟從了耶穌。

潔淨痲瘋病人

12 有一次,耶穌在一個城裡,忽然有個渾身長滿痲瘋的人,看見耶穌就把臉伏在地上,央求他說:「主啊,如果你願意,你就能潔淨我。」

13 耶穌伸出手來摸他,說:「我願意,你潔淨了吧!」痲瘋病立刻離開了他。 14 耶穌吩咐他不要告訴任何人,說:「只要去把自己給祭司看,並且為了你的潔淨,照著摩西所吩咐的去獻上祭物,好對他們做見證。」

15 耶穌的消息反而越發傳開了。有一大群人聚集而來,聽他傳道[e],也要他們的病得痊癒。 16 耶穌卻常常退到曠野去禱告。

赦罪與治病

17 就在那些日子裡,有一天耶穌在教導人的時候,也有些法利賽人和律法教師坐在那裡,他們是從加利利猶太地區的各村莊,以及耶路撒冷來的。主的大能與耶穌同在,使他能醫病。 18 這時候,有幾個人用床榻抬來一個癱瘓的人,想把他帶進去放在耶穌面前。 19 但由於人多,他們沒有辦法[f]把他帶進去,就爬上屋頂,從屋瓦中間把他和床榻一起縋到眾人當中,正在耶穌面前。

20 耶穌看見他們的信心,就對癱瘓的人說:「朋友[g],你的罪孽已經被赦免了。」

21 那些經文士和法利賽人就開始想:「這個人是誰?竟說褻瀆的話。除了神一位之外,誰能赦免罪呢?」

22 耶穌知道他們的意念,就對他們說:「你們心裡為什麼這樣想呢? 23 或說『你的罪孽已經被赦免了』,或說『你起來走路』,哪一樣更容易呢? 24 不過為要使你們知道人子在地上有赦免罪的權柄——」耶穌就對癱瘓的人說:「我吩咐你:起來,拿起你的床榻,回家去吧!」

25 那個人立刻在大家面前站了起來,拿起他所躺的床榻回家去,一路上榮耀神。 26 於是大家都驚訝不已,就不住地榮耀神,並且滿懷敬畏之心說:「我們今天看到奇妙的事了!」

呼召利未

27 這些事以後,耶穌出去,看到一個名叫利未[h]的稅吏,在稅關坐著。耶穌對他說:「你跟從我!」 28 利未就撇下一切,站起來跟從了耶穌。

與罪人吃飯

29 利未在自己家裡為耶穌預備盛大的宴席,有一大群稅吏和其他人與他們一同坐席。 30 法利賽人和他們的經文士就向耶穌的門徒們抱怨,說:「你們為什麼與那些稅吏和罪人一起吃喝呢?」

31 耶穌對他們說:「健康的人不需要醫生,有病的人才需要。 32 我來不是要召喚義人,而是要召喚罪人來悔改。」

禁食的問題

33 他們對耶穌說:「約翰的門徒們經常禁食、祈禱,法利賽人的門徒們也是如此,而你的門徒們卻又吃又喝。[i]

34 耶穌對他們說:「新郎與賓客[j]在一起的時候,難道你們能叫賓客禁食嗎? 35 可是日子將要來到:當新郎從他們中間被帶走的時候,他們那時——在那些日子裡就要禁食了。」

36 耶穌又對他們講了一個比喻:「沒有人從新衣服上撕下一塊布來縫在舊衣服上,否則,他不但撕破了新衣服,而且來自新衣服的那塊布與舊衣服不相稱。 37 也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裡,否則新酒會脹破舊皮袋,酒會流出來,皮袋也會糟蹋了。 38 因此,新酒必須裝在新皮袋裡。[k] 39 沒有人喝了陳酒以後想喝新酒,因為他總說:『還是陳酒好[l]。』」

耶稣选门徒

有一次,耶稣站在革尼撒勒湖岸边,有很多人聚集在他周围,聆听他传播上帝的话语。 他看到有两条船停在岸边,渔夫们不在船上,他们正在洗鱼网。 有一条船是西门的,耶稣走了上去,让他把船撑得离开岸边,然后,耶稣坐下,教导岸上的人们。

耶稣讲完之后,对西门说∶“把船撑到水深的地方去,然后撒网捕鱼!”

西门回答说∶“我的主人,我们辛苦了一整夜,可什么都没捕到,不过,既然您这么说,我就撒网了。” 打鱼人把网撒下之后,竟然捕到很多的鱼,多得几乎都要把网撑破了。 他们就打手势,招呼另一条船上的同伴过来帮忙。另一条船上的人过来了,把鱼装了满满两船,船几乎都要被压沉了。

彼得西门看到这个情景,连忙在耶稣面前跪了下来,说∶“主,离开我吧,我是一个罪人!” 10 西门的同伴西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰看到捕了这么多鱼,也感到非常吃惊。

耶稣对西门说∶“不要害怕,从现在起,你们的工作是得人而不是得鱼。”

11 他们把船靠到岸边,丢下所有的东西,跟随了耶稣。

耶稣为人治病

12 一天耶稣在一座城镇里遇见一个浑身长满了大麻风的人。那人一见耶稣,就跪在他面前,乞求道∶“主啊,治愈我吧。如果您愿意,您就能治好我的病。”

13 耶稣伸出手,抚摸着他说∶“我愿意,痊愈吧!”话到病除,那人的麻风病便被治好了。 14 然后,耶稣说道∶“不要把这事告诉给任何人,但是,你要到祭司那里去让他查看,还要按照摩西的命令,为你的痊愈向上帝献上祭品,向大家表明你痊愈了。”

15 但是耶稣的名声反而被传开了。很多人聚集起来,听他讲道,同时其中一些人也期待他们的病得到治愈。 16 但是,耶稣经常走开,到荒野里去祈祷。

耶稣治愈残疾人

17 一次,耶稣正在教导人们,一些来自加利利、犹太城和耶路撒冷的法利赛人和律法师也坐在那里。主赋予了耶稣治愈病人的力量。 18 一些人用担架抬来一个瘫痪病人,他们想把他抬过来放到耶稣面前。 19 可是,人太多了,无法抬进去,所以他们就登上了房顶,把那个瘫痪的人用垫子从房顶拆开的洞口缒到人群中间,放在耶稣的面前。 20 耶稣看到这些人如此强的信仰,就对那个病人说∶“朋友,你的罪孽被宽恕了!”

21 那些律法师和法利赛人都禁不住想∶“这个人是谁呢?竟敢这样口出狂言。除了上帝,谁能宽恕罪孽呢?”

22 耶稣看出他们的心思,便说道∶“你们为什么心怀这些疑问呢? 23 两者相比,哪个更容易? 是对这人说∶‘你的罪被宽恕了,’容易,还是说‘站起来,迈步走,’容易呢? 24 但是,为了让你们知道,人子 [a]在世间有宽恕罪孽的权力。”耶稣对那个瘫痪病人说道∶“我吩咐你站起来!拿上你的铺盖,走回家去吧!”

25 在众目睽睽之下,那个瘫痪病人立即站了起来,他拿起铺盖,走回家去了,一路上不停地赞美上帝。 26 在场所有的人都被惊得目瞪口呆,他们都赞美着上帝,纷纷诚惶诚恐地说∶“今天,我们亲眼看到了奇迹!”

利未(马太)跟随耶稣

27 治好那个瘫痪病人后,耶稣出去了。他看见一个名叫利未的税吏正坐在收税的地方。耶稣对他说∶“跟随我!” 28 利未立即起身,撇下所有的东西,跟随了耶稣。

29 利未在自己家里为耶稣准备了丰盛的宴席,很多税吏和其他人也与他们坐在一起吃饭。 30 那些法利赛人和律法师得知这件事后,对耶稣的门徒埋怨道∶“你们为什么与税吏和罪人一起吃喝呢?”

31 耶稣答道∶“健康人不需要医生,需要医生的是那些有病的人。 32 我来这里不是召唤正直人的,而是召唤罪人悔改的。”

耶酥与其它宗教领袖不同

33 他们又对耶稣说∶“约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒经常禁食和祈祷,而你的门徒却总是又吃又喝。”

34 耶稣对他们说∶“在婚礼上,新郎和朋友在一起的时候,你不能叫他的朋友禁食。 35 但是,新郎迟早要离开他们的,那时他的朋友们会感到悲伤而禁食。”

36 耶稣又给他们讲了一个寓言∶“没有人会从新衣服上撕下一块布,补在旧衣服上,否则,他不但毁了新衣服,而且撕下来的新布也与旧衣服也不相称。 37 谁也不会把新酒装在旧酒囊里,否则,新酒会撑破旧酒囊,结果酒也漏掉了,酒囊也毁了。 38 你们总是把新酒装到新酒囊里。 39 也没人在喝过陈年老酒后,想喝新酒,他会说∶“陈酒更香。”

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(A)

One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God.(B) He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.(C)

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”(D)

Simon answered, “Master,(E) we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.(F) But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.(G) So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”(H) For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid;(I) from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.(J)

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(K)

12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[b](L) When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone,(M) but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded(N) for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

15 Yet the news about him spread all the more,(O) so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.(P)

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(Q)

17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law(R) were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.(S) 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”(T)

21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(U)

22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(V) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God.(W) They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(X)

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,”(Y) Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.(Z)

29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors(AA) and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect(AB) complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”(AC)

31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”(AD)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(AE)

33 They said to him, “John’s disciples(AF) often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”

34 Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom(AG) fast while he is with them? 35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them;(AH) in those days they will fast.”

36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”
