Matthäus 12 | 聖經當代譯本修訂版

安息日的問題

1 那時,耶穌在安息日經過一片麥田。祂的門徒餓了,便隨手搓麥穗吃。 2 法利賽人看見後,對耶穌說:「你看,你的門徒做了在安息日不准做的事!」 3 耶穌回答說:「你們沒有讀過大衛的事蹟嗎?當時他和部下餓了, 4 進入上帝的殿,吃了獻給上帝的供餅。這餅只有祭司才可以吃,大衛和部下是不准吃的。 5 此外律法書又記載,安息日,祭司在聖殿裡觸犯了守安息日的規條也不算有罪。你們沒有讀過嗎? 6 我告訴你們,這裡有一人比聖殿更偉大, 7 如果你們明白『我喜愛憐憫之心,而非祭物』這句經文的意義,就不會冤枉無辜了。 8 因為人子是安息日的主。」 9 耶穌離開那裡,走進會堂, 10 裡面有個人,一隻手是萎縮的。法利賽人企圖找藉口控告耶穌,就問祂:「安息日可不可以醫病呢?」 11 耶穌回答說:「如果你們有一隻羊在安息日掉進坑裡,難道你們不把牠拉上來嗎? 12 人比羊要貴重多了!所以在安息日行善合情合理。」 13 於是,耶穌轉過身來對那人說:「把手伸出來!」那人一伸手,手就復原了,跟另一隻手一樣健康。 14 法利賽人卻走了出去,策劃怎樣除掉耶穌。

上帝的僕人

15 耶穌知道了,就離開那個地方。很多人跟隨祂,耶穌醫好了其中所有患病的人, 16 吩咐他們不要洩露祂的身分。 17 這是要應驗以賽亞先知的話: 18 「看啊!我所揀選、 所眷愛、所喜悅的僕人, 我要將我的靈賜給祂, 祂要向萬邦宣揚正義。 19 祂不爭競,不喧嚷, 街上也聽不見祂的聲音。 20 壓傷的蘆葦,祂不折斷; 將殘的燈火,祂不吹滅; 祂終必使正義得勝。 21 普世都要仰望祂的聖名。」 22 有人帶一個被鬼附身、又瞎又啞的人來見耶穌,耶穌便醫好他,使他能說能看。 23 眾人都很驚奇,就說:「這人會不會是大衛的那個後裔?」 24 法利賽人聽見後卻說:「祂不過是靠鬼王別西卜趕鬼罷了。」 25 耶穌知道他們的心思,就說:「一個國內部自相紛爭,必然滅亡;一座城、一個家內部自相紛爭,必然崩潰。 26 若撒旦驅逐撒旦,就是自相紛爭,牠的國怎能維持呢? 27 若我是靠別西卜趕鬼,你們的子弟又是靠誰趕鬼呢?為此,他們要審判你們。 28 若我是靠上帝的靈趕鬼,就是上帝的國已降臨在你們中間了。 29 「人如何進入壯漢家中搶奪他的財物呢?除非先把那壯漢捆綁起來,才有可能搶劫他的家。 30 「不與我為友就是與我為敵;不助我召集就是故意拆散。 31 所以我告訴你們,一切的罪和褻瀆的話都可以得到赦免,但褻瀆聖靈的罪必得不到赦免。 32 說話得罪人子的,還可以得到赦免;但那些說話冒犯聖靈的,今生永世都得不到赦免。

樹與果

33 「好樹結好果子,壞樹結壞果子,看果子就能知道樹的好壞。 34 你們這些毒蛇的後代!你們心裡邪惡,又怎能講出好話呢?因為心裡充滿的,口裡自然會說出來。 35 善人心存良善,就從他裡面發出良善;惡人心存邪惡,就從他裡面發出邪惡。 36 我告訴你們,在審判之日,人將為自己所說的每一句閒話負責, 37 因為將來要憑你口中的話來判斷你是否有罪。」

求神蹟

38 當時,有幾個律法教師和法利賽人對耶穌說:「老師,我們想要看你行個神蹟。」 39 耶穌回答說:「一個邪惡淫亂的世代想看神蹟,可是除了約拿先知的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給他們看。 40 約拿在大魚腹中三日三夜,人子也要在地裡三日三夜。 41 在審判的日子,尼尼微人和這世代的人都要起來*,尼尼微人要定這個世代的罪,因為他們聽到約拿的宣告,就悔改了。看啊!這裡有一人比約拿更偉大。 42 在審判的日子,南方的女王和這世代的人都要起來,她要定這個世代的罪,因為她曾不遠千里來聽所羅門王的智言慧語。看啊!這裡有一人比所羅門王更偉大。

乘虛而入

43 「有一個污鬼離開了牠以前所附的人,在乾旱無水之地四處遊蕩,尋找安歇之處,卻沒有找到。 44 於是牠說,『我要回到老地方。』牠回去後,看見裡面空著,打掃得又乾淨又整齊, 45 就去帶來了七個比自己更邪惡的鬼一起住在那裡。那人的下場比從前更慘了。這個邪惡的世代也會這樣。」

真正的親屬

46 耶穌還在和眾人說話的時候,祂的母親和兄弟站在外面,想要跟祂說話。 47 有人告訴祂:「你的母親和兄弟在外面有話要跟你說。」 48 耶穌說:「誰是我的母親?誰是我的兄弟?」 49 祂伸出手來指著門徒說:「你們看!這些人就是我的母親和我的兄弟。 50 凡遵行我天父旨意的人都是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親。」

English Standard Version

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” 3 He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? 6 I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. 7 And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

A Man with a Withered Hand

9 He went on from there and entered their synagogue. 10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him. 11 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.

God’s Chosen Servant

15 Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all 16 and ordered them not to make him known. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: 18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. 19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets; 20 a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory; 21 and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

22 Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And 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 age to come.

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit

33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The Sign of Jonah

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the South will rise up 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 behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

Return of an Unclean Spirit

43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers* stood outside, asking to speak to him.* 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
