¹不可因传统废弃　神的诫命（可7:1-23）

¹Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

²“你的门徒为什么违背古人的传统，在饭前不洗手呢？”

²“Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”

³耶稣回答：“你们又为什么因你们的传统，违背　神的诫命呢？

³He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

⁴　神说：‘当孝敬父母’，又说：‘咒骂父母的必被处死’。

⁴ For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9

⁵你们却说：‘人若对父母说：“我应该给你们的，已经作了献给　神的礼物”，

⁵ But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”

⁶他就可以不孝敬父母了。’你们因为你们的传统，就废弃了　神的话。

⁶ he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

⁷伪君子啊，以赛亚指着你们说的预言说得好：

⁷ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

⁸‘这人民用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我；

⁸ ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

⁹他们把人的规条当作道理去教导人，所以拜我也是徒然。’”

⁹ And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’” Isaiah 29:13

¹⁰耶稣叫群众前来，对他们说：“你们要听，也要明白。

¹⁰He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.

¹¹进到口里的不能使人污秽，只有从口里出来的，才能使人污秽。”

¹¹ That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

¹²门徒前来告诉他：“法利赛人听了这话很生气，你知道吗？”

¹²Then the disciples came, and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?”

¹³耶稣说：“所有不是我天父栽种的植物，都要连根拔起来。

¹³But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.

¹⁴由得他们吧！他们是瞎眼的，却作了向导；如果瞎子领瞎子，二人都会跌进坑里。”

¹⁴ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

¹⁵彼得说：“请你给我们解释这个比喻吧。”

¹⁵Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”

¹⁶耶稣说：“你们还是不明白吗？

¹⁶So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

¹⁷难道不知道一切进到口里的，是进到肚腹，然后排泄到外面去吗？

¹⁷ Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

¹⁸但从口里出来的，是发自内心，才会使人污秽。

¹⁸ But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

¹⁹因为从心里出来的，有恶念、凶杀、奸淫、淫乱、偷盗、假见证和毁谤。

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

²⁰这些才会使人污秽，不洗手吃饭却不会这样。”

²⁰ These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”

²¹迦南妇人的信心（可7:24-30）耶稣离开那里，来到推罗、西顿境内。

²¹Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

²²有一个迦南的妇人从那地区出来，喊着说：“主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我吧！我的女儿被鬼附得很苦。”

²²Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely demonized!”

²³耶稣一句话也不回答她。门徒上前求他说：“请叫她走吧，她一直跟在我们后面喊叫。”

²³But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”

²⁴耶稣回答：“我被差遣，只是到以色列家的迷羊那里去。”

²⁴But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

²⁵她来跪在耶稣面前说：“主啊，求你帮助我！”

²⁵But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

²⁶耶稣回答：“拿儿女的饼丢给小狗吃是不好的。”

²⁶But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁷她说：“主啊，是的，不过小狗也吃主人桌子上掉下来的碎渣。”

²⁷But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

²⁸于是耶稣对她说：“妇人，你的信心真大，照你所想的给你成就吧！”从那时起，她的女儿就好了。

²⁸Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁹治好许多病人（可7:31-37）耶稣离开那里，来到加利利海边，就上山坐下。

²⁹Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

³⁰有许多人来到他那里，把瘸腿的、瞎眼的、残废的、哑的和许多别的病人，都带到耶稣跟前，他就医好他们。

³⁰Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

³¹群众看见哑巴说话，残废的复原，瘸腿的行走，瞎眼的看见，就十分惊奇，于是颂赞以色列的　神。

³¹so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.

³²给四千人吃饱的神迹（可8:1-10。参太14:13-21）耶稣叫门徒前来，说：“我怜悯这一群人，因为他们跟我在一起已经有三天，也没有什么吃的；我不想叫他们饿着肚子回去，恐怕他们在路上晕倒。”

³²Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”

³³门徒对他说：“我们在这旷野地方，哪里有足够的食物给这许多的人吃饱呢？”

³³The disciples said to him, “Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”

³⁴耶稣问他们：“你们有多少饼？”他们说：“七个饼和几条小鱼。”

³⁴Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

³⁵他就吩咐群众坐在地上，

³⁵He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

³⁶拿起那七个饼和那些鱼，祝谢了，擘开递给门徒，门徒又分给众人。

³⁶and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

³⁷大家都吃了，并且吃饱了。他们把剩下的零碎拾起来，装满了七个大篮子。

³⁷They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

³⁸吃的人，除了妇女和孩子，共有四千。

³⁸Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁹耶稣解散了群众，就上了船，来到马加丹地区。

³⁹Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
