12:1 那时，耶稣在安息日从麦地经过，祂的门徒饿了，就掐起麦穗来吃。
At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grainfields. And His disciples became hungry and began to pick ears of grain and eat.
12:2 法利赛人看见，就对祂说，看哪，你的门徒在作安息日不可作的事。
But the Pharisees, seeing this, said to Him, Behold, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.
12:3 耶稣却对他们说，大卫和跟从他的人饥饿之时所作的，你们没有念过么？
But He said to them, Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, and those who were with him;
12:4 他怎样进了神的殿，他们且吃了陈设饼，就是他不可吃，跟从他的人也不可吃，惟独祭司才可吃的。
How he entered into the house of God, and they ate the bread of the presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, except for the priests only?
12:5 再者，律法上记着，当安息日，祭司在殿里渎犯了安息日，还是没有罪，你们没有念过么？
Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
12:6 但我告诉你们，在这里有比殿更大的。
But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here.
12:7 还有，你们若明白什么是“我要的是怜悯，不是祭祀，”就不会定无罪的为有罪了。
But if you knew what this means, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice,'' you would not have condemned the guiltless.
12:8 因为人子是安息日的主。
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.
12:9 于是耶稣离开那里，进了他们的会堂；
And departing from there, He came into their synagogue.
12:10 看哪，有一个人枯干了一只手；有人问耶稣说，在安息日可以治病么？为的是要控告祂。
And behold, a man who had a withered hand was there. And they asked Him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? so that they might accuse Him.
12:11 祂对他们说，你们中间谁有一只羊，若在安息日掉在坑里，不把它抓住拉上来？
And He said to them, What man will there be among you who will have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
12:12 人比羊贵重多了；所以在安息日可以行善。
Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! So then it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath.
12:13 于是祂对那人说，伸出手来。他一伸，手就复了原，像另一只手那样的康健。
Then He said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out and it was restored, as sound as the other.
12:14 但法利赛人出去，商议怎样抵挡祂，为要除灭祂。
But the Pharisees, going out, took counsel against Him as to how they might destroy Him.
12:15 耶稣知道了，就离开那里。有许多人跟着祂，祂把他们都治好了，
But Jesus, knowing it, withdrew from there. And many followed Him, and He healed them all;
12:16 又嘱咐他们，不要显扬祂。
And He charged them not to make Him known,
12:17 这是要应验那藉着申言者以赛亚所说的，说，
In order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
12:18 “看哪，我的仆人，我所拣选，我所爱，我魂所喜悦的；我要将我的灵放在祂身上，祂必将公理宣布与外邦。
"Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul has found delight. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will announce justice to the Gentiles.
12:19 祂不争竞，不喧嚷，街上也没有人听见祂的声音。
He will not strive nor cry out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
12:20 压伤的芦苇，祂不折断；将残的火把，祂不吹灭，直到祂施行公理，至于得胜。
A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench until He brings forth justice unto victory.
12:21 外邦人都要仰望祂的名。”
And in His name will the Gentiles hope.''
