- 8:1 And soon afterward He journeyed from city to city and village to village, preaching and announcing the gospel of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with Him,
不久以后，耶稣周游各城各乡传道，传神的国为福音；同祂在一起的有十二个门徒，
- 8:2 As well as certain women who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
还有几个得医治，脱离恶灵和疾病的妇女，其中有称为抹大拉人的马利亚，曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来；
- 8:3 And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who ministered to them out of their possessions.
又有希律的管事苦撒的妻子约亚拿，并苏撒拿，和好些别的妇女，都是用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒。
- 8:4 And while a great crowd was coming together and those from city to city were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable:
当大批的群众聚在一起，又有人从各城络绎的出去，到耶稣那里的时候，祂就用比喻说，
- 8:5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell beside the way, and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of heaven devoured it.
那撒种的出去撒他的种子。撒的时候，有的落在路旁，被人践踏，天空的飞鸟又来吃尽了。
- 8:6 And other seed fell on the rock, and as it grew, it withered because it had no moisture.
又有别的落在磐石上，生长起来，因为得不着滋润，就枯干了。
- 8:7 And other seed fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it off.
还有别的落在荆棘里，荆棘一同生长，就把它挤住了。
- 8:8 And other seed fell into the good earth, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold. When He had said these things, He called out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
但有别的落在好土里，生长起来，结实百倍。耶稣说了这些话，就大声说，有耳可听的，就应当听。
- 8:9 And His disciples questioned Him as to what this parable might be.
门徒问祂这比喻是什么意思。
- 8:10 And He said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest they are in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
祂说，神国的奥秘，只给你们知道。但对其余的人就用比喻，叫他们看却看不见，听也不领悟。
- 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
这比喻乃是这样：种子就是神的道。
- 8:12 And those beside the way are those who heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they would not believe and be saved.
那些在路旁的，就是人听了道，随后魔鬼来，从他们心里把道夺去，恐怕他们信了得救。
- 8:13 And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; yet these have no root, who believe only for a while, and in time of trial they draw back.
那些在磐石上的，就是人听了道，欢喜领受，但没有根，不过是暂时信了，在试炼的时候，就退后了。
- 8:14 And that which fell into the thorns, these are those who heard and, going away, are utterly choked by anxieties and riches and pleasures of this life, and do not bring any fruit to maturity.
那落在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，走开以后，被今生的思虑、钱财和宴乐全然挤住了，便结不出成熟的子粒来。
- 8:15 But that which is in the good earth, these are those who in a noble and good heart hear the word and hold it fast and bear fruit with endurance.
但那落在好土里的，就是人用美好善良的心听了道，便持守住，并且忍耐着结实。
- 8:16 Now no one who has lit a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it underneath a bed, but he puts it on a lampstand in order that those who come in may see the light.
没有人点灯用器皿盖上，或放在床底下，乃是放在灯台上，叫进来的人看见亮光。
- 8:17 For nothing is hidden which shall not become manifest, nor concealed which shall not by all means be made known and come into the open.
因为隐藏的事没有不成为显明的，隐瞒的事也绝没有不被人知道而暴露出来的。
- 8:18 Take heed therefore how you hear, for whoever has, it shall be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.
所以你们要留心怎样听；因为凡有的，还要加给他；凡没有的，连他自以为有的，也要从他夺去。
- 8:19 And His mother and brothers came up to Him and were not able to get to Him because of the crowd.
耶稣的母亲和兄弟来了，因为人多，不能与祂相会。
- 8:20 And it was reported to Him, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside wanting to see You.
有人报告祂说，你的母亲和兄弟站在外面，想要见你。

有一天，耶稣和门徒上了船，祂对他们说，我们渡到湖的对岸去吧。他们就开了船。

正航行的时候，耶稣睡着了。湖上起了风暴，船就要满了水，甚是危险。
- 8:24 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing! And being awakened, He rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
门徒进前来，叫醒了祂，说，夫子，夫子，我们丧命啦！耶稣醒来，斥责风和水上的大浪，风浪就止住，平静了。
- 8:25 And He said to them, Where is your faith? And they became frightened and marveled, saying to one another, Who then is this, that He orders even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?
耶稣对他们说，你们的信心在那里？他们既惧怕，又希奇，彼此说，这人到底是谁？祂竟吩咐风和水，连风和水也听从了祂。

他看见耶稣，就喊叫起来，俯伏在祂面前，大声说，至高神的儿子耶稣，我与你何干？求你不要叫我受苦。
- 8:29 For He had charged the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for many times it had seized him and he had been bound with chains and shackles and was kept under watch, yet every time he tore the bonds apart and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
因耶稣曾吩咐污灵从那人身上出来；原来这鬼屡次抓住他，他常被人看守，又被铁链和脚镣捆锁，他竟把锁炼挣断，被鬼催逼到旷野去。
