Mark 2

1 A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

1 几天后，耶稣回到迦百农。祂在家的消息一传开，

2 they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

2 许多人便蜂拥而来，连门外也挤满了人。耶稣正给他们讲道的时候，

3 Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

3 有四个人抬着一个瘫痪的人来见祂。

4 Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.

4 可是人太多了，他们无法抬到耶稣跟前，就拆掉耶稣所在房间的屋顶，将那人连垫子一起缒下去。

5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

5 耶稣看见他们的信心，就对瘫痪的人说：“孩子，你的罪得到赦免了！”

6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

6 有几个律法教师坐在那里，心里议论说：

7 “Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

7 “这是什么话？祂是在亵渎上帝！除了上帝以外，谁能赦罪呢？”

8 At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

8 耶稣立刻看透了他们的心思，就说：“你们为什么这样心里议论呢？

9 “Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

9 对瘫痪的人说‘你的罪被赦免了’容易呢，还是说‘起来，收拾你的垫子走吧’容易呢？

10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

10 但我要让你们知道人子在世上有赦罪的权柄。”于是祂对那人说：

11 “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

11 “我吩咐你起来拿上你的垫子回家去吧。”

12 And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

12 那人就站起来，马上拿起垫子，当着众人的面走了出去。众人都十分惊奇，赞美上帝说：“我们从来没见过这样的事！”

13 Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

13 耶稣又出去到了湖边。有一大群人围拢过来，祂就教导他们。

14 As He was walking along, He saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Levi got up and followed Him.

14 耶稣往前走的时候，看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在收税站里，就对他说：“跟从我！”利未就起来跟从了耶稣。

15 While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.

15 后来，利未请耶稣和祂的门徒到家里坐席，同席的还有很多已经跟随耶稣的税吏和罪人。

16 When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

16 有几位法利赛人的律法教师看见耶稣跟税吏和罪人同席，就问耶稣的门徒：“祂为何跟税吏和罪人一起吃饭？”

17 On hearing this, Jesus told them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

17 耶稣听见后，就对他们说：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要。我来不是召义人，而是召罪人。”

18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”

18 约翰的门徒和法利赛人都在禁食的时候，有人来问耶稣：“约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒禁食，为什么你的门徒不禁食呢？”

19 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast.

19 耶稣对他们说：“新郎和宾客还在一起的时候，宾客岂能禁食？新郎还跟他们在一起的时候，他们不能禁食。

20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

20 但有一天新郎将被带走，那时他们就要禁食了。

21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result.

21 “没有人会用新布来补旧衣服，否则新布会把旧衣服扯破，破洞会更大；

22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”

22 也没有人把新酒装在旧皮囊里，否则新酒会把旧皮囊胀破，酒和皮囊都毁了。所以，新酒一定要装在新皮囊里。”

23 One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

23 有一个安息日，耶稣经过一片麦田，同行的门徒一边走一边掐麦穗。

24 So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

24 法利赛人对耶稣说：“看啊，他们为什么做安息日不准做的事？”

25 Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

25 耶稣回答说：“你们没有读过大卫的事迹吗？当时他和随从饥饿匮乏，

26 During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.”

26 他进入上帝的殿吃了献给上帝的供饼，还给他的随从吃，这饼只有祭司才可以吃。这事在发生在亚比亚他做大祭司的时候。”

27 Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

27 然后，耶稣对他们说：“安息日是为人设立的，人不是为安息日设立的。

28 Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

28 所以，人子也是安息日的主。”
