¹治好瘫子（太9:1-8；路5:18-26）

¹And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that he is in the house,

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。

²and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.

³那时有人把一个瘫子带到耶稣那里，是由四个人抬来的。

³And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,

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。

⁴and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken [it] up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,

⁵耶稣看见他们的信心，就对瘫子说：“孩子，你的罪赦了。”

⁵and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, `Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.`

⁶当时有几个经学家也坐在那里，心里议论说：

⁶And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷“这个人为什么这样说话？他说僭妄的话了。除了　神一位以外，谁能赦罪呢？”

⁷`Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one — God?`

⁸耶稣心里立刻知道他们这样议论，就对他们说：“你们心里为什么议论这事？

⁸And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, `Why these things reason ye in your hearts?

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？

⁹which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk?

¹⁰然而为了要你们知道人子在地上有赦罪的权柄，（他就对瘫子说：）

¹⁰`And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins — (he saith to the paralytic) —

¹¹我吩咐你，起来，拿起你的褥子，回家去吧。”

¹¹I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house;`

¹²那人就起来，立刻拿着褥子，当众出去了。众人都非常惊奇，颂赞　神，说：“我们从来没有见过这样的事。”

¹²and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying — `Never thus did we see.`

¹³呼召利未（太9:9-13；路5:27-32）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。

¹³And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he was teaching them,

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。

¹⁴and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, `Be following me,` and he, having risen, did follow him.

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。

¹⁵And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

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？”

¹⁶And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, `Why — that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?`

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。”

¹⁷And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, `They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.`

¹⁸新旧的比喻（太9:14-17；路5:33-38）约翰的门徒和法利赛人正在禁食，有人来问耶稣说：“为什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？”

¹⁸And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?`

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。

¹⁹And Jesus said to them, `Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;

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。

²⁰but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast — in those days.

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。

²¹`And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old garment, and if not — the new filling it up doth take from the old and the rent doth become worse;

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。”

²²and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not — the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.`

²³安息日的主（太12:1-8；路6:1-5）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。

²³And it came to pass — he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields — and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,

²⁴法利赛人对耶稣说：“你看，他们为什么作安息日不可作的事？”

²⁴and the Pharisees said to him, `Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?`

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？

²⁵And he said to them, `Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?

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？”

²⁶how he went into the house of God, (at `Abiathar the chief priest,`) and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?`

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。

²⁷And he said to them, `The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath,

²⁸这样，人子也是安息日的主。”

²⁸so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.`
