Mark 6 (CMNCBT)

1耶穌帶著門徒離開那地方，回到自己的家鄉。Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2到了安息日，祂開始在會堂裡教導人，眾人聽了都很驚奇，說：「這個人從哪裡學來這些本領？祂怎麼會有這種智慧？祂怎麼會行這樣的神蹟？When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?

3這不是那個木匠嗎？祂不是瑪麗亞的兒子嗎？祂不是雅各、約西、猶大、西門的大哥嗎？祂的妹妹們不也住在我們這裡嗎？」他們就對祂很反感。Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

4耶穌對他們說：「先知到處受人尊敬，只有在本鄉、本族、本家例外。」Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5耶穌不能在那裡行任何神蹟，只把手按在幾個病人身上，醫治了他們。So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6耶穌對他們的不信感到詫異，就去周圍的村莊繼續教導人。And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7耶穌召集了十二個使徒，差遣他們兩個兩個地出去，賜他們制伏污鬼的權柄，Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8又吩咐他們路上除了手杖外什麼都不要帶，不要帶食物和背包，腰袋裡也不要帶錢，He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9只穿一雙鞋和一套衣服就夠了。and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10祂對他們說：「無論什麼地方，你們進到哪戶人家，就在哪裡住下來，一直到離開那地方。And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11如果某地方的人不接待你們，不聽你們傳的道，你們離開那裡時要跺掉腳上的塵土，作為對他們的警告！」If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”

12使徒便出去傳道，勸人悔改，So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13趕出許多鬼，為許多病人抹油，治好他們。They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14耶穌聲名遠揚，希律王也聽說了祂的事。有人說：「施洗者約翰從死裡復活了，所以能行這些神蹟。」Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

15也有人說：「祂是以利亞。」還有人說：「祂是個先知，就像古代的一位先知。」Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16希律聽到這些議論，就說：「被我斬首的約翰從死裡復活了！」But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17原來希律娶了他兄弟腓力的妻子希羅底，並為她的緣故而派人逮捕了約翰，把他鎖在監牢裡。For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.

18因為約翰曾對希律說：「你娶弟弟的妻子不合法。」For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19希羅底對約翰懷恨在心，想要殺掉他，只是不能得逞。So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20因為希律知道約翰是個公義聖潔的人，所以敬畏他，並對他加以保護。儘管約翰所講的道理令他困惑不安，他仍然喜歡聽。because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.

21機會終於來了。希律在自己的生日那天設宴招待文武百官和加利利的顯要。On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22希羅底的女兒進來跳舞，甚得希律和客人的歡心。王對她說：「你想要什麼，只管說。」When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

23王還對她起誓說：「無論你要什麼，哪怕是我的半壁江山，我都會給你。」And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24她便出去問她母親：「我應該要什麼呢？」她母親說：「要施洗者約翰的頭！」Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25她馬上回去向王請求說：「願王立刻把施洗者約翰的頭放在盤子裡送給我。」At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

26王聽到這個請求，感到十分為難，但因為在眾賓客面前起了誓，就不好拒絕。The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27他立刻命令衛兵進監牢砍了約翰的頭，So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.

28放在盤子裡送給女孩，她又轉送給她母親。The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29約翰的門徒聽到這個消息，就來把約翰的屍體領回去，安葬在墳墓裡。When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30使徒們聚集在耶穌身邊，向祂報告他們一切的工作和教導。Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31耶穌對他們說：「你們單獨跟我到荒僻的地方去歇一會兒吧。」因為當時來來往往的人很多，他們連吃飯的時間都沒有。And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

32他們乘船單獨到了一處荒僻的地方。So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33可是有許多人看見他們離開，認出了他們，便從各城鎮步行趕往那裡，比他們先到達。But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34耶穌一下船，看見這一大群人好像沒有牧人的羊，心裡憐憫他們，於是教導了他們許多道理。When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

35天色晚了，門徒過來對耶穌說：「時候已經不早了，這裡又是荒郊野外，By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

36請遣散眾人，好讓他們到周圍的村莊去自己買些吃的。」Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37耶穌說：「你們給他們吃的吧。」門徒說：「難道要我們買二百個銀幣的餅給他們吃嗎？」But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”

38耶穌說：「去看看你們有多少餅。」他們察看後，說：「有五個餅和兩條魚。」“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39耶穌吩咐門徒叫眾人分組坐在草地上。Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40於是眾人坐下，有的五十人一組，有的一百人一組。So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41耶穌拿起那五個餅、兩條魚，舉目望著天祝謝後，掰開餅遞給門徒，讓他們分給眾人。祂又照樣把那兩條魚分給眾人。Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

42大家都吃了，並且吃飽了。They all ate and were satisfied,

43門徒把剩下的碎餅、碎魚收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44當時吃餅的有五千男人。And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45耶穌隨即催門徒上船，叫他們先渡到湖對岸的伯賽大，祂則遣散眾人。Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46祂辭別了眾人後，就上山去禱告。After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47到了晚上，門徒的船在湖中心，耶穌獨自留在岸上。When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48祂看見門徒在逆風中搖櫓，非常吃力。天將破曉的時候，祂從水面上朝門徒走去，想要從他們旁邊經過。He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,

49門徒看見祂在湖面上走，以為是幽靈，就驚叫起來。but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50全船的人看見祂，都嚇壞了。耶穌立刻對他們說：「放心吧！是我，不要怕。」for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51耶穌上船到他們那裡，風便停了。門徒心裡大為驚奇，Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52因為他們仍然不明白耶穌分餅的事，心裡還是愚頑。for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53他們渡到湖對岸，來到革尼撒勒，在那裡靠岸，When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54剛一下船，眾人立刻認出了耶穌。As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55他們跑遍那一帶地方，用墊子把生病的人抬來，聽到耶穌在哪裡，就把病人抬到哪裡。and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56耶穌無論到哪一個村莊、城鎮或鄉下，人們總是把病人抬到街市上，求耶穌讓他們摸一摸祂衣服的穗子，所有摸過的病人都好了。And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
