治好瘫子
1几天后，耶稣回到迦百农。祂在家的消息一传开， 2立刻有许多人蜂拥而来，连门外也挤满了人。耶稣正给他们讲道的时候， 3有四个人抬着一个瘫痪的人来见祂。 4但因为人太多，他们无法抬到耶稣跟前，就拆掉屋顶，对准耶稣所坐的地方，将瘫子连垫子一起缒下去。 5耶稣看见他们的信心，就对瘫子说：“孩子，你的罪被赦免了！” 6有几个律法教师坐在那里，心里议论说： 7“这是什么话？简直是亵渎上帝！除了上帝之外，谁能赦罪呢？”
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对瘫子说‘你的罪得到赦免了’容易呢，还是说‘起来，收拾你的垫子走吧’容易呢？ 10但我要让你们知道人子在世上有赦罪的权柄。”于是祂对瘫子说： 11“我吩咐你起来收拾你的垫子回家去吧。” 12那人就站起来，马上收拾好垫子，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！”
呼召利未
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耶稣往前走的时候，看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在收税站里工作，就对他说：“跟从我！”利未就起来跟从了耶稣。
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：“祂怎么会跟这些税吏和罪人一起吃饭呢？”
17耶稣听见了，就说：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要。我来不是要召义人，乃是要召罪人。”
论禁食
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耶稣对他们说：“新郎还在的时候，宾客怎能在婚宴中禁食呢？新郎还跟他们在一起的时候，他们不该禁食。 20但有一天新郎将被带走，那时他们就要禁食了。
21“没有人会用新布来补旧衣服，因为新布会把旧衣服扯破，破洞会更大； 22也没有人把新酒倒进旧皮囊里，否则新酒会胀破旧皮囊，酒和皮囊都毁了。所以，新酒一定要装在新皮囊里。”
安息日的主
23一个安息日，耶稣和门徒走过一片麦田，门徒一边走一边搓麦穗吃。 24法利赛人批评耶稣说：“看看你的门徒，他们为什么做安息日不准做的事？”
25耶稣回答说：“大卫和他的部下在饥饿、缺粮时所做的事，你们没有读过吗？ 26在亚比亚他做大祭司时，他进入上帝的殿吃了献给上帝的供饼，还给他的部下吃。这饼只有祭司才可以吃。 27安息日是为人设立的，人不是为安息日设立的。 28所以，人子也是安息日的主。”
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Man Who Could Not Walk
1A few days later, Jesus entered Capernaum again. The people heard that he had come home. 2So many people gathered that there was no room left. There was not even room outside the door. And Jesus preached the word to them. 3Four of those who came were carrying a man who could not walk. 4But they could not get him close to Jesus because of the crowd. So they made a hole by digging through the roof above Jesus. Then they lowered the man through it on a mat. 5Jesus saw their faith. So he said to the man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
6Some teachers of the law were sitting there. They were thinking, 7“Why is this fellow talking like that? He’s saying a very evil thing! Only God can forgive sins!”
8Right away Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9Is it easier to say to this man, ‘Your sins are forgiven’? Or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So Jesus spoke to the man who could not walk. 11“I tell you,” he said, “get up. Take your mat and go home.” 12The man got up and took his mat. Then he walked away while everyone watched. All the people were amazed. They praised God and said, “We have never seen anything like this!”
Jesus Chooses Levi and Eats With Sinners
13Once again Jesus went out beside the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd came to him. He began to teach them. 14As he walked along he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus. Levi was sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him. Levi got up and followed him.
15Later Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples. They were part of the large crowd following Jesus. 16Some teachers of the law who were Pharisees were there. They saw Jesus eating with sinners and tax collectors. So they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17Jesus heard that. So he said to them, “Those who are healthy don’t need a doctor. Sick people do. I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.”
Jesus Is Asked About Fasting
18John’s disciples and the Pharisees were going without eating. Some people came to Jesus. They said to him, “John’s disciples are fasting. The disciples of the Pharisees are also fasting. But your disciples are not. Why aren’t they?”
19Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the groom go without eating while he is with them? They will not fast as long as he is with them. 20But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. On that day they will go without eating.
21“No one sews a patch of new cloth on old clothes. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old. That will make the tear worse. 22No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins. Then the wine and the wineskins will both be destroyed. No, people pour new wine into new wineskins.”
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath Day
23One Sabbath day Jesus was walking with his disciples through the grainfields. The disciples began to break off some heads of grain. 24The Pharisees said to Jesus, “Look! It is against the Law to do this on the Sabbath day. Why are your disciples doing it?”
25He answered, “Haven’t you ever read about what David did? He and his men were hungry. They needed food. 26It was when Abiathar was high priest. David entered the house of God and ate the holy bread. Only priests were allowed to eat it. David also gave some to his men.”
27Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath day was made for man. Man was not made for the Sabbath day. 28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.”
