马可福音2：13～22
呼召利未
（太9‧9－13；路5‧27－32）
13 耶稣又出到海边去，众人都就了他来，他便教训他们。
14 耶稣经过的时候，看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在税关上，就对他说：「你跟从我来。」他就起来，跟从了耶稣。
15 耶稣在利未家里坐席的时候，有好些税吏和罪人与耶稣并门徒一同坐席；因为这样的人多，他们也跟随耶稣。
16 法利赛人中的文士看见耶稣和罪人并税吏一同吃饭，就对他门徒说：「他和税吏并罪人一同吃喝吗？」
17 耶稣听见，就对他们说：「康健的人用不着医生，有病的人才用得着。我来本不是召义人，乃是召罪人。」
禁食的问题
（太9‧14－17；路5‧33－39）
18 当下，约翰的门徒和法利赛人禁食。他们来问耶稣说：「约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒禁食，你的门徒倒不禁食，这是为什么呢？」
19 耶稣对他们说：「新郎和陪伴之人同在的时候，陪伴之人岂能禁食呢？新郎还同在，他们不能禁食。
20 但日子将到，新郎要离开他们，那日他们就要禁食。
21 没有人把新布缝在旧衣服上，恐怕所补上的新布带坏了旧衣服，破的就更大了。
22 也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里，恐怕酒把皮袋裂开，酒和皮袋就都坏了；惟把新酒装在新皮袋里。」
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.
14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Jesus Questioned About Fasting
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”
19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them.
20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.
21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse.
22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
内容观察
1. 谁与耶稣一起在利未家中吃饭？（15节)
2.谁对耶稣与罪人坐席、门徒不禁食的行为提出质疑？（16.18节）
思考与默想
个人感受
决心与应用
5.我何时曾没有以神的眼光看待他人，反而定罪他们？
6.为了效法耶稣与人建立关系的榜样，我决定要怎么做？
我不是来召义人，而是召罪人（17节）：耶稣来，是要拯救那些承认自己有罪的人。
禁食（18节）：法利赛人认为禁食可以成就更大的义，耶稣却在乎人与神的关系有多亲密。
只要新郎和他们在一起，他们不能禁食（19节）：耶稣以在婚礼前陪伴新郎的亲友为比喻，暗指弥赛亚已经道成肉身。
