1治好癱子（太9:1~8；路5:18~26）過了些日子，耶穌再回到迦百農。一聽說他在屋子裡，
1When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
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。
2Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3那時有人把一個癱子帶到耶穌那裡，是由四個人抬來的。
3Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
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。
4When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5耶穌看見他們的信心，就對癱子說：“孩子，你的罪赦了。”
5Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6當時有幾個經學家也坐在那裡，心裡議論說：
6But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
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？”
7“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
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？
8Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
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？
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’
10然而為了要你們知道人子在地上有赦罪的權柄，（他就對癱子說：）
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” —he said to the paralytic—
11我吩咐你，起來，拿起你的褥子，回家去吧。”
11 “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
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。”
12He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13呼召利未（太9:9~13；路5:27~32）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。
13He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
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。
14As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
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。
15It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
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？”
16The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
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。”
17When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
18新舊的比喻（太9:14~17；路5:33~38）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？”
18John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
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。
19Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
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。
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
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。
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
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。”
22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23安息日的主（太12:1~8；路6:1~5）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。
23It happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
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？”
24The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
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？
25He said to them, “Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
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？”
26 How he entered into God’s house when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
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。
27He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28這樣，人子也是安息日的主。”
28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
