Matthew 12

1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

1 安息日的时候，耶稣经过一片麦田。祂的门徒饿了，便掐些麦穗吃。

2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

2 法利赛人看见后，对耶稣说：“你看，你的门徒做了安息日不准做的事！”

3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

3 耶稣回答说：“你们没有读过大卫的事迹吗？当时他和随从饿了，

4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

4 他进入上帝的殿，他们吃了献给上帝的供饼。这饼只有祭司才可以吃，大卫和随从是不准吃的。

5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

5 此外律法书又记载，在安息日，祭司在圣殿里干犯安息日的规条也不算有罪。你们没有读过吗？

6 But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

6 我告诉你们，这里有一位比圣殿更伟大，

7 If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

7 如果你们明白‘我要的是怜悯，而非祭物’ 这句经文的意义，就不会冤枉无辜了。

8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

8 因为人子是安息日的主。”

9 Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

9 耶稣离开那里，走进犹太人的会堂，

10 and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

10 里面有个人，一只手是萎缩的。法利赛人企图控告耶稣，就问祂：“在安息日可以医病吗？”

11 He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

11 耶稣回答说：“你们如果有一只羊在安息日掉进坑里，难道不把它拉上来吗？

12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

12 人比羊要贵重多了！所以在安息日行善合情合理。”

13 Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

13 然后，耶稣对那人说：“把手伸出来！”那人一伸手，手就复原了，跟另一只手一样健康。

14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

14 法利赛人却走了出去，策划怎样除掉耶稣。

15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

15 耶稣知道了，就离开那里。很多人跟随祂，耶稣治好了所有患病的人，

16 warning them not to make Him known.

16 叮嘱他们不要泄露祂的身份。

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

17 这是要应验以赛亚先知的话：

18 “Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

18 “看啊！我所拣选、 所眷爱、所喜悦的仆人， 我要将我的灵赐给祂， 祂要向万邦宣扬正义。

19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

19 祂不争竞，不喧嚷， 街上也听不见祂的声音。

20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

20 压伤的芦苇，祂不折断； 将残的灯火，祂不吹灭； 祂终必使正义得胜。

21 In His name the nations will put their hope.”

21 普世都要仰望祂的圣名。”

22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

22 有人带一个被鬼附身、又瞎又哑的人来见耶稣，耶稣便医治他，使他能说能看。

23 The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

23 众人都很惊奇，就说：“这人会不会是大卫的那个后裔？”

24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

24 法利赛人听见后却说：“祂不过是靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼罢了。”

25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

25 耶稣知道他们的心思，就说：“一个国内部自相纷争，必然灭亡；一座城、一个家内部自相纷争，必无法坚立。

26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

26 若撒旦驱逐撒旦，就是自相纷争，它的国怎能维持呢？

27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

27 我若是靠别西卜赶鬼，你们的子弟又是靠谁赶鬼呢？因此，他们要审判你们。

28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

28 但我若是靠上帝的灵赶鬼，就是上帝的国已降临在你们中间了。

29 Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

29 “人如何进入壮汉家里抢夺他的财物呢？除非先把那壮汉捆绑起来，才能抢劫他的家。

30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

30 “谁不与我为友，就是与我为敌；谁不和我一起收聚，就是在拆散。

31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

31 所以我告诉你们，一切罪和亵渎的话都可以得到赦免，但亵渎圣灵的罪必得不到赦免。

32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

32 说话得罪人子的，还可以得到赦免；但说话冒犯圣灵的，今生永世都得不到赦免。

33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.

33 “好树结好果子，坏树结坏果子，看果子就能知道树的好坏。

34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

34 你们这些毒蛇的后代！你们既然邪恶，又怎能讲出好话呢？因为心里充满的，口里自然会说出来。

35 The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

35 善人心存良善，就从他里面发出良善；恶人心存邪恶，就从他里面发出邪恶。

36 But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

36 我告诉你们，在审判之日，人将为自己所说的每一句闲话负责，

37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

37 因为将凭你口中的话来判断你是否有罪。”

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

38 当时，有几个律法教师和法利赛人对耶稣说：“老师，我们想要看你行个神迹。”

39 Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

39 耶稣回答说：“一个邪恶淫乱的世代想看神迹，但除了约拿先知的神迹以外，再没有神迹给他们看。

40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

40 约拿在大鱼腹中三日三夜，人子也要在地里三日三夜。

41 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

41 在审判的日子，尼尼微人要起来 定这个世代的罪，因为他们听到约拿的宣告，就悔改了。看啊！这里有一位比约拿更大。

42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

42 在审判的日子，南方的女王和这世代的人都要起来，她要定这个世代的罪，因为她曾不远千里来听所罗门王的智言慧语。看啊！这里有一位比所罗门王更大。

43 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

43 “有个污鬼离开了它所附的人，在干旱无水之地四处游荡，寻找安歇之处，却没有找到。

44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

44 于是它说，‘我要回到老地方。’它回去后，看见里面空着，打扫得又干净又整齐，

45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

45 就去带来七个比自己更邪恶的鬼一起住在那里。那人的下场比从前更惨了。这个邪恶的世代也会这样。”

46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

46 耶稣还在和众人说话的时候，祂的母亲和兄弟站在外面，想要跟祂说话。

47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

47 有人告诉祂：“你的母亲和兄弟站在外面有话要跟你说。”

48 But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

48 耶稣说：“谁是我的母亲？谁是我的兄弟？”

49 Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

49 祂伸出手来指着门徒说：“看啊，我的母亲和我的兄弟！

50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

50 凡遵行我天父旨意的人都是我的弟兄、姊妹和母亲。”
