1 بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَخَذَ يَجُولُ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ وَقَرْيَةٍ وَاعِظاً وَمُبَشِّراً بِمَلَكُوتِ اللهِ وَكَانَ يُرَافِقُهُ تَلامِيذُهُ الاِثْنَا عَشَرَ، 2 وَبَعْضُ النِّسَاءِ اللَّوَاتِي كُنَّ قَدْ شُفِينَ مِنْ أَرْوَاحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ وَأَمْرَاضٍ، وَهُنَّ: مَرْيَمُ الْمَعْرُوفَةُ بِالْمَجْدَلِيَّةِ الَّتِي طَرَدَ مِنْهَا سَبْعَةَ شَيَاطِينَ، 3 وَيُوَنَّا زَوْجَةُ خُوزِي وَكِيلِ هِيرُودُسَ، وَسُوسَنَّةُ، وَغَيْرُهُنَّ كَثِيرَاتٌ مِمَّنْ كُنَّ يُسَاعِدْنَهُ بِأَمْوَالِهِنَّ. 4 فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعَ حَوْلَهُ جَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ بَلْدَةٍ، خَاطَبَهُمْ بِمَثَلٍ: 5 «خَرَجَ الزَّارِعُ لِيَزْرَعَ بِذَارَهُ. وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَزْرَعُ، وَقَعَ بَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ، فَدَاسَتْهُ الأَقْدَامُ، وَالْتَهَمَتْهُ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ. 6 وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ، فَلَمَّا طَلَعَ يَبِسَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ بِلا رُطُوبَةٍ. 7 وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ فِي وَسَطِ الأَشْوَاكِ، فَطَلَعَ الشَّوْكُ مَعَهُ وَخَنَقَهُ. 8 وَبَعْضُ الْبِذَارِ وَقَعَ فِي الأَرْضِ الصَّالِحَةِ. وَلَمَّا نَبَتَ، أَنْتَجَ ثَمَراً مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ». قَالَ هَذَا وَنَادَى«مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ لِلسَّمْعِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ!» 9 وَسَأَلَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «مَا هُوَ مَغْزَى هَذَا الْمَثَلِ؟» 10 فَقَالَ: «لَكُمْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ. أَمَّا الآخَرُونَ، فَأُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ: يَنْظُرُونَ وَلا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَيَسْمَعُونَ وَلا يَفْهَمُونَ. 11 وَهَذَا مَغْزَى الْمَثَلِ: الْبِذَارُ هِيَ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ. 12 وَمَا وَقَعَ عَلَى الْمَمَرَّاتِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ (الْكَلِمَةَ)، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إِبْلِيسُ وَيَخْطَفُ الْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ لِئَلّا يُؤْمِنُوا فَيَخْلُصُوا. 13 وَمَا وَقَعَ عَلَى الصَّخْرِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقْبَلُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ بِفَرَحٍ لَدَى سَمَاعِهَا، وَهؤُلاءِ لَا أَصْلَ لَهُمْ، فَيُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَى حِينٍ، وَفِي وَقْتِ التَّجْرِبَةِ يَتَرَاجَعُونَ. 14 وَمَا وَقَعَ حَيْثُ الأَشْوَاكُ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ ثُمَّ يَمْضُونَ فَتَخْنُقُهُمْ هُمُومُ الْحَيَاةِ وَغِنَاهَا وَلَذَّاتُهَا، فَلا يُنْتِجُونَ ثَمَراً نَاضِجاً. 15 وَأَمَّا الَّذِي وَقَعَ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ، فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ وَيَحْفَظُونَهَا فِي قَلْبٍ جَيِّدٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ، وَيُنْتِجُونَ ثَمَراً بِالصَّبْرِ.

مصباح على المنارة

16 وَلا أَحَدَ يُشْعِلُ مِصْبَاحاً ثُمَّ يُغَطِّيهِ بِوِعَاءٍ، أَوْ يَضَعُهُ تَحْتَ سَرِيرٍ، بَلْ يَرْفَعُهُ عَلَى مَنَارَةٍ لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّورَ. 17 فَمَا مِنْ مَحْجُوبٍ لَنْ يُكْشَفَ، وَلا سِرٍّ لَنْ يُعْلَمَ وَيُعْلَنَ. 18 فَتَنَبَّهُوا إِذَنْ كَيْفَ تَسْمَعُونَ. فَإِنَّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ، يُعْطَى الْمَزِيدَ؛ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ، فَحَتَّى الَّذِي يَظُنُّهُ لَهُ، يُنْتَزَعُ مِنْهُ!»

أم يسوع وإخوته

19 وَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّهُ وَإخْوَتُهُ، وَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ بِسَبَبِ الزِّحَامِ. 20 فَقِيلَ لَهُ: «إِنَّ أُمَّكَ وَإِخْوَتَكَ وَاقِفُونَ خَارِجاً، يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَرَوْكَ!» 21 وَلكِنَّهُ أَجَابَهُمْ قَائِلاً: «أُمِّي وَإِخْوَتِي هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِها».

يسوع يهدئ العاصفة

22 وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ رَكِبَ قَارِباً هُوَ وَتَلامِيذُهُ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِنَعْبُرْ إِلَى الضِّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنَ الْبُحَيْرَةِ!» فَأَقْلَعُوا. 23 وَفِيمَا هُمْ مُبْحِرُونَ، نَامَ. وَهَبَّتْ عَلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ عَاصِفَةُ رِيحٍ مُفَاجِئَةٌ، فَأَخَذَ الْمَاءُ يَمْلأُ الْقَارِبَ، وَأَحَاطَ بِهِمِ الْخَطَرُ. 24 فَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيْهِ وَأَيْقَظُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، يَا سَيِّدُ، إِنَّنَا نَهْلِكُ!» فَنَهَضَ وَزَجَرَ الرِّيحَ وَالْمَاءَ الْهَائِجَ، فَسَكَنَا وَسَادَ الْهُدُوءُ. 25 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَيْنَ إِيمَانُكُمْ؟» وَإِذْ خَافُوا، ذُهِلُوا، وَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ لِلآخَرِ: «مَنْ هُوَ هَذَا إِذَنْ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ الرِّيَاحَ وَالْمَاءَ فَتُطِيعُهُ؟»

شفاء رجل به شياطين

26 وَوَصَلُوا إِلَى بَلْدَةِ الْجِرَاسِيِّينَ، وَهِيَ تَقَعُ مُقَابِلَ الْجَلِيلِ. 27 فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ إِلَى الْبَرِّ، لاقَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ تَسْكُنُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ مُنْذُ مُدَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ، وَكَانَ لَا يَلْبَسُ ثَوْباً وَلا يَسْكُنُ بَيْتاً بَلْ يُقِيمُ بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ. 28 فَمَا إِنْ رَأَى يَسُوعَ، حَتَّى صَرَخَ وَانْطَرَحَ أَمَامَهُ، وَقَالَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِي يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ اللهِ العَلِيِّ؟ أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ أَلّا تُعَذِّبَنِي؟» 29 فَإِنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ قَدْ أَمَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ. فَكَثِيراً مَا كَانَ يَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْهُ، وَكُلَّمَا رُبِطَ بِالسَّلاسِلِ وَالْقُيُودِ لِيُضْبَطَ، حَطَّمَ الْقُيُودَ وَسَاقَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَى الْقِفَارِ. 30 فَسَأَلَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لَجِيُونُ!» لأَنَّ جَيْشاً كَبِيراً مِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ كَانُوا قَدْ دَخَلُوا فِيهِ، 31 وَقَدْ تَوَسَّلُوا إِلَيْهِ أَلّا يَأْمُرَهُمْ بِالذَّهَابِ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ. 32 وَكَانَ هُنَالِكَ قَطِيعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْخَنَازِيرِ يَرْعَى فِي الْجَبَلِ، فَالْتَمَسُوا مِنْهُ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمْ بِالدُّخُولِ فِي الْخَنَازِيرِ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ. 33 فَخَرَجَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، وَدَخَلَتْ فِي الْخَنَازِيرِ، فَانْدَفَعَ الْقَطِيعُ مِنْ عَلَى حَافَةِ الْجَبَلِ إِلَى الْبُحَيْرَةِ وَمَاتَ غَرَقاً. 34 فَلَمَّا رَأَى الرُّعَاةُ مَا حَدَثَ، هَرَبُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالْمَزَارِعِ يَنْشُرُونَ الْخَبَرَ. 35 فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ لِيَرَوْا مَا حَدَثَ، وَجَاءُوا إِلَى يَسُوعَ، فَوَجَدُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ وَهُوَ لابِسٌ وَسَلِيمُ الْعَقْلِ. فَخَافُوا. 36 وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَيْضاً الَّذِينَ شَاهَدُوا مَا حَدَثَ، كَيْفَ شُفِيَ الْمَسْكُونُ. 37 فَطَلَبَ جَمِيعُ أَهَالِي بَلْدَةِ الْجِرَاسِيِّينَ مِنْ يَسُوعَ أَنْ يَرْحَلَ عَنْهُمْ، لأَنَّ خَوْفاً عَظِيماً اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ. فَرَكِبَ الْقَارِبَ، وَرَجَعَ. 38 وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، فَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُرَافِقَهُ. وَلكِنَّهُ صَرَفَهُ قَائِلاً: 39 «اِرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ، وَحَدِّثْ بِمَا عَمِلَهُ اللهُ بِكَ!» فَمَضَى سَائِراً فِي الْمَدِينَةِ كُلِّهَا، وَهُوَ يُنَادِي بِمَا عَمِلَهُ بِهِ يَسُوعُ.

الطفلة الميتة والمرأة المريضة

40 وَلَمَّا عَادَ يَسُوعُ، رَحَّبَ بِهِ الْجَمْعُ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كُلُّهُمْ يَتَرَقَّبُونَ عَوْدَتَهُ. 41 وَإذَا رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ يَايِرُسُ، وَهُوَ رَئِيسٌ لِلْمَجْمَعِ، قَدْ جَاءَ وَانْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُرَافِقَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، 42 لأَنَّ لَهُ ابْنَةً وَحِيدَةً، عُمْرُهَا حَوَالَيْ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَقَدْ أَشْرَفَتْ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ. وَفِيمَا هُوَ ذَاهِبٌ، كَانَتِ الْجُمُوعُ تَزْحَمُهُ. 43 وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ امْرَأَةٌ مُصَابَةٌ بِنَزِيفٍ دَمَوِيٍّ مُنْذُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَمَعَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَدْ أَنْفَقَتْ كُلَّ مَا تَمْلِكُهُ أَجْراً لِلأَطِبَّاءِ، فَلَمْ تَتَمَكَّنْ مِنَ الشِّفَاءِ عَلَى يَدِ أَحَدٍ. 44 فَتَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَى يَسُوعَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ، وَلَمَسَتْ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ؛ وَفِي الْحَالِ تَوَقَّفَ نَزِيفُ دَمِهَا. 45 وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «مَنْ لَمَسَنِي؟» فَلَمَّا أَنْكَرَ الْجَمِيعُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ بُطْرُسُ وَرِفَاقُهُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، الْجُمُوعُ يُضَيِّقُونَ عَلَيْكَ وَيَزْحَمُونَكَ، وَتَسْأَلُ: مَنْ لَمَسَنِي؟» 46 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ شَخْصاً مَا قَدْ لَمَسَنِي، لأَنِّي شَعَرْتُ بِأَنَّ قُوَّةً قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنِّي». 47 فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ أَمْرَهَا لَمْ يُكْتَمْ، تَقَدَّمَتْ مُرْتَجِفَةً، وَارْتَمَتْ أَمَامَهُ مُعْلِنَةً أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ لأَيِّ سَبَبٍ لَمَسَتْهُ، وَكَيْفَ نَالَتِ الشِّفَاءَ فِي الْحَالِ. 48 فَقَالَ لَهَا: «يَا ابْنَةُ، إِيْمَانُكِ قَدْ شَفَاكِ؛ اذْهَبِي بِسَلامٍ!» 49 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ الْمَجْمَعِ، يَقُولُ لَهُ: «ابْنَتُكَ مَاتَتِ. لَا تُتْعِبْ الْمُعَلِّمَ بَعْدُ!» 50 وَإِذْ سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ ذلِكَ، كَلَّمَهُ قَائِلاً: «لا تَخَفْ، آمِنْ فَقَطْ، فَتَنْجُوَ ابْنَتُكَ!» 51 وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَداً يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ إِلّا بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَيَعْقُوبَ وَأَبَا الْفَتَاةِ وَأُمَّهَا. 52 وَكَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَبْكُونَهَا وَيَنْدُبُونَهَا. فَقَالَ: «لا تَبْكُوا. إِنَّهَا لَمْ تَمُتْ، بَلْ هِيَ نَائِمَةٌ!» 53 فَضَحِكُوا مِنْهُ، لِعِلْمِهِمْ أَنَّهَا مَاتَتْ. 54 وَلكِنَّهُ، بَعْدَمَا أَخْرَجَهُمْ جَمِيعاً، أَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهَا، وَنَادَى قَائِلاً: «يَا صَبِيَّةُ، قُومِي!» 55 فَعَادَتْ إِلَيْهَا رُوحُهَا، وَنَهَضَتْ فِي الْحَالِ. وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُقَدَّمَ لَهَا طَعَامٌ. 56 فَدُهِشَ وَالِدَاهَا؛ وَلكِنَّهُ أَوْصَاهُمَا أَلّا يُخْبِرَا أَحَداً بِمَا جَرَى.

New International Version

The parable of the sower

1 After this, Jesus travelled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. 4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 ‘A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.’ When he said this, he called out, ‘Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.’ 9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, ‘The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘ “though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.” (إش 6:9) 11 ‘This is the meaning of the parable: the seed is the word of God. 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

A lamp on a stand

16 ‘No-one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.’

Jesus’ mother and brothers

19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, ‘Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’ 21 He replied, ‘My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.’

Jesus calms the storm

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side of the lake.’ So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. 24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, ‘Master, Master, we’re going to drown!’ He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 ‘Where is your faith?’ he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, ‘Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.’

Jesus restores a demon-possessed man

26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,^[1] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!’ 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. 30 Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’ ‘Legion,’ he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. 32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 ‘Return home and tell how much God has done for you.’ So the man went away and told all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a sick woman

40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,^[2] but no-one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 ‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, ‘Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.’ 46 But Jesus said, ‘Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.’ 47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.’ 49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. ‘Your daughter is dead,’ he said. ‘Don’t bother the teacher anymore.’ 50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, ‘Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.’ 51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. ‘Stop wailing,’ Jesus said. ‘She is not dead but asleep.’ 53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, ‘My child, get up!’ 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
