葡萄园主的比喻
12 耶稣开始用比喻对他们说:“有一个人栽种了一个葡萄园,四面围上篱笆,挖了一个榨酒池,盖了一座守望楼,然后把葡萄园租给一些农夫,就出外旅行。 2 到了收获的[a]季节,他就派了一个奴仆到那些农夫那里去,好从他们收取葡萄园的果子。 3 但他们抓住那奴仆,打了他,叫他空手回去。 4 园主又派另一个奴仆到他们那里去。那些农夫[b]打伤了他的头,并且侮辱他[c]。 5 园主再派另一个去,他们把他杀了。另派了许多去,有的被打,有的被杀。
6 “那园主还有一位——是他的爱子。最后他差派儿子到他们那里,说:‘他们一定会尊重我的儿子。’
7 “可是那些农夫彼此说:‘这是继承人。来,我们把他杀了,那继业就归我们了。’ 8 于是他们抓住他,把他杀了,并扔出葡萄园外。
9 “那么,葡萄园的主人会做什么呢?他会来除灭那些农夫,把葡萄园交给别人。 10 你们难道也没有读过这段经文吗?
‘工匠所弃绝的石头,
它已经成了房角的头块石头;
11 这是主所成就的,
在我们眼中实在奇妙!’[d]”
12 祭司长们、律法师们和长老们知道这比喻是针对他们而说的,就想拘捕耶稣。可是他们怕民众,于是离开耶稣走了。
神与凯撒
13 后来,他们派了一些法利赛人和希律党的人到耶稣那里,要找话柄来陷害他。 14 那些人来对耶稣说:“老师,我们知道你是真诚的。你不顾忌任何人,因为你不看人的情面,而是按真理教导神的道[e]。请问,向凯撒纳税,可以不可以呢?我们该交还是不该交呢?”
15 耶稣看出他们的假意,就对他们说:“你们为什么试探我呢?拿一个银币[f]来给我看。” 16 他们就拿来了。耶稣问他们:“这是谁的像和名号?”
他们回答说:“是凯撒的。”
17 耶稣对他们说:“凯撒的归给凯撒;神的归给神。”这使他们感到惊奇。
撒都该人与复活
18 接着,撒都该人来到耶稣那里,他们一向说没有复活的事。他们问耶稣,说: 19 “老师,摩西为我们写道:如果一个人的兄弟死了,撇下妻子而没有留下孩子,他就应该娶这妇人,为兄弟留后裔。[g] 20 曾经有兄弟七人,第一个娶了妻子,死去了,没有留下后裔。 21 第二个娶了这寡妇,也死了,没有留下后裔。第三个也一样。 22 结果,兄弟七个都[h]没有留下后裔。到了最后,这妇人也死了。 23 既然这七个人都娶过她为妻,在复活的时候,当他们复活了[i],她将是谁的妻子呢?”
24 耶稣说:“你们之所以错了,不就是因为你们不明白经上的话,也不明白神的大能吗? 25 当人从死人中复活以后,他们既不娶也不嫁,而是像诸天之上的天使一样。 26 关于死人复活的事,你们难道没有读过摩西书‘荆棘篇’上,神怎样对摩西说的吗?神说‘我是亚伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神。’[j] 27 神不是死人的神,而是活人的神[k]。你们完全错了!”
最重要的诫命
28 有一个经文士前来,听见他们辩论,见耶稣回答得好,就问耶稣:“所有的诫命中,哪一条是最重要的呢?”
29 耶稣回答:“[l]最重要的是:
31 “其次就是‘要爱邻如己。’[p]没有别的诫命比这两条更大的了。”
32 那经文士就对耶稣说:“不错,老师,你真的讲了:神只有一位,除他以外没有别的神。 33 以全心、全智、[q]全力来爱神,并且要爱邻如己,这是比所有的燔祭和各种祭祀都重要的。”
34 耶稣见他回答得有智慧,就对他说:“你离神的国不远了。”于是,没有人敢再质问耶稣了。
有关基督的问题
35 耶稣在圣殿里教导人的时候问:“经文士们怎么说基督是大卫的后裔呢? 36 大卫藉着圣灵,自己说过:
37 大卫自己称基督为‘主’,基督又怎么会是大卫的后裔呢?”那一大群人都乐意听耶稣讲说。
要防备经文士
38 耶稣在他的教导中说:“你们要当心经文士们。他们喜欢穿着长袍走来走去,喜欢街市上的致敬问候, 39 又喜欢会堂里的首位、宴席中的上座。 40 他们侵吞寡妇的家产,又假意做很长的祷告。这些人将受到更重的惩罚[t]。”
寡妇的奉献
41 耶稣面对奉献箱坐着,看众人怎样把钱投入奉献箱里。许多富有的人投进了很多钱。 42 有一个穷寡妇来,投进两个小钱[u],值一个铜币[v]。 43 耶稣把他的门徒们召来,对他们说:“我确实地告诉你们:这穷寡妇所投入奉献箱的,比所有的人投的更多。 44 因为大家是从自己的富余中拿出来投进去;而这寡妇是从自己的缺乏中,把她所拥有的一切,就是她全部的养生费用都投进去了。”

兇狠的佃戶
12 耶穌用比喻對他們說:「有人開闢了一個葡萄園,在四周築起籬笆,又在園中挖了一個榨酒池,建了一座瞭望臺,然後把葡萄園租給佃戶,就出遠門了。
2 「到葡萄成熟時,園主派一個奴僕去收取他該得的一份。 3 那些佃戶卻捉住那個奴僕,打了他一頓,使他空手而歸。
4 「園主又差另一個奴僕去。這一次,佃戶不但侮辱他,還把他打得頭破血流。 5 園主再派一個奴僕前往,他們卻把他殺掉了。園主後來派去的人不是挨打,就是被殺。 6 最後只剩下園主的愛子,園主就派他去,以為那些佃戶會尊重他的兒子。 7 這班佃戶卻彼此商量說,『這個就是園主的繼承人。來吧!我們殺掉他,產業就歸我們了。』
8 「於是他們抓住他,殺了他,把他拋到葡萄園外。 9 那麼,園主會採取什麼行動呢?他必定會來殺掉這些佃戶,把葡萄園轉給別人。 10 聖經上說,
『工匠丟棄的石頭已成了房角石。
11 這是主的作為,
在我們看來奇妙莫測。』
你們沒有讀過這經文嗎?」
12 他們聽出這比喻是針對他們說的,就想逮捕耶穌,但又害怕百姓,只好先離開了。
納稅給凱撒的問題
13 後來,他們派了幾個法利賽人和希律黨人到耶穌那裡,企圖利用祂所說的話設計陷害祂。
14 他們上前對耶穌說:「老師,我們知道你誠實無偽,不看人的情面,因為你不以貌取人,而是按真理傳上帝的道。那麼,向凱撒納稅對不對呢? 15 我們該不該納呢?」耶穌看破他們的陰謀,就說:「你們為什麼試探我呢?拿一個銀幣來給我看。」
16 他們就拿來一個銀幣,耶穌問他們:「上面刻的是誰的像和名號?」
他們說:「凱撒的。」
17 耶穌說:「屬於凱撒的東西應該給凱撒,屬於上帝的東西應該給上帝。」
他們聽了這話,都很驚奇。
論復活
18 撒都該人向來不相信有復活的事,他們來問耶穌: 19 「老師,摩西為我們寫下律例,如果一個人死了,遺下妻子,又沒有兒女,他的兄弟就當娶嫂嫂,替哥哥傳宗接代。 20 有弟兄七人,老大結了婚,沒有孩子就死了。 21 二弟把大嫂娶過來,也沒有生孩子就死了,三弟也是一樣, 22 七個人都沒有留下孩子。最後,那女人也死了。 23 那麼,到復活的時候,她將是誰的妻子呢?因為七個人都娶過她。」
24 耶穌說:「你們弄錯了,因為你們不明白聖經,也不知道上帝的能力。 25 死人復活之後,將不娶也不嫁,就像天上的天使一樣。 26 關於死人復活的事,你們沒有讀過摩西書有關火中荊棘的記載嗎?上帝對摩西說,『我是亞伯拉罕的上帝,以撒的上帝,雅各的上帝。』 27 上帝不是死人的上帝,而是活人的上帝。你們大錯了!」
最大的誡命
28 有一位律法教師聽到他們的辯論,覺得耶穌的回答很精彩,就走過去問道:「誡命中哪一條最重要呢?」
29 耶穌回答道:「最重要的誡命是,『聽啊,以色列!主——我們的上帝是獨一的主。 30 你要全心、全情、全意、全力愛主——你的上帝』; 31 其次就是『要愛鄰如己』。再也沒有任何誡命比這兩條更重要了。」
32 那位律法教師說:「老師,你說得對,上帝只有一位,除祂以外,別無他神。 33 我們要全心、全意、全力愛祂,又要愛鄰如己。這樣做比獻什麼祭都好。」
34 耶穌見他答得很有智慧,就告訴他:「你離上帝的國不遠了。」此後,沒人再敢問耶穌問題了。
基督的身分
35 耶穌在聖殿裡教導的時候,問道:「律法教師為什麼說基督是大衛的後裔呢? 36 大衛自己曾經受聖靈的感動,說,
『主對我主說,
你坐在我的右邊,
等我使你的仇敵伏在你腳下。』
37 既然大衛自己稱基督為主,基督又怎能是大衛的後裔呢?」百姓聽得津津有味。 38 耶穌又教導他們,說:「你們要提防律法教師,他們愛穿著長袍招搖過市,喜歡人們在大街上問候他們, 39 又喜歡會堂裡的上座和宴席中的首位。 40 他們侵吞寡婦的財產,還假意做冗長的禱告。這種人必受到更嚴厲的懲罰。」
窮寡婦的奉獻
41 然後,耶穌走到聖殿的奉獻箱對面坐下,看大家怎樣奉獻。很多財主奉獻了大量的錢。 42 後來一個窮寡婦來了,投進了相當於一文錢的兩個小銅錢。 43 耶穌叫門徒來,說:「我實在告訴你們,這位窮寡婦比其他人奉獻的都多, 44 因為他們不過奉獻了自己剩餘的,但這窮寡婦卻奉獻了她賴以為生的。」

The Story of the Evil Farmers(A)
12 [Then] Jesus began ·to use stories to teach the people [L to speak to them in parables; see 3:23]. He said, “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it and dug a ·hole [vat; pit] for a winepress and built a tower [C to protect against thieves; see Is. 5:1–7 for the background to this parable]. Then he leased the land to some [C tenant] farmers and left for a trip [C the owner represents God, the farmers are Israel’s religious leaders]. 2 When it was time for the grapes to be picked, he sent a ·servant [slave] to the farmers to get his share of the grapes. 3 But the farmers grabbed ·the servant [L him] and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then the man sent another ·servant [slave]. They ·hit [beat] him on the head and ·showed no respect for [humiliated; dishonored] him. 5 So the man sent another, whom they killed. The man sent many others; the farmers beat some of them and killed others [C the servants represent the prophets God sent to Israel].
6 “The man had one person left to send, his son whom he loved [C representing Jesus; see 1:11; 9:7]. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “But the farmers said to each other, ‘This son will inherit the vineyard. Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “So what will the ·owner [lord] of the vineyard do? He will come and ·kill [destroy] those farmers and will give the vineyard to ·other farmers [L others; C referring to the sinners who were responding to Jesus’ call for repentance, and eventually to the Gentiles who would be saved]. 10 ·Surely you have read [L Have you never read…?] this Scripture:
‘The stone that the builders rejected
    became the ·cornerstone [capstone; keystone; L head of the corner; C the meaning is uncertain, but clearly refers to the most important stone in the building; Jesus is the rejected stone].
11 The Lord did this,
    and it is ·wonderful [amazing; marvelous] ·to us [for us to see; L in our eyes; Ps. 118:22–23].’”
12 The Jewish leaders knew that the ·story [parable] was about them. So they ·wanted to find a way [were seeking/trying] to arrest Jesus, but they were afraid of the people. So the leaders left him and went away.
Is It Right to Pay Taxes or Not?(B)
13 Later, the Jewish leaders sent some Pharisees and Herodians [C a political group that supported king Herod and his family; 3:6] to Jesus to ·trap [catch] him in saying something wrong. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are ·an honest man [true; honest; sincere]. You are not ·afraid of [concerned about] what other people think about you, because you ·pay no attention to who they are [play no favorites; are impartial; aren’t swayed by appearances]. And you teach ·the truth [with sincerity/honesty] about God’s way. Tell us: Is it ·right [permissible; lawful] to pay taxes to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay them, or not?” [C Saying “yes” would anger Jews who hated Roman rule; saying “no” could result in being charged with insurrection.]
But knowing ·what these men were really trying to do [L their hypocrisy], Jesus said to them, “Why are you ·trying to trap [testing] me? Bring me a ·coin [L denarius; C a Roman coin worth a day’s wages] to look at.” 16 They gave Jesus a coin, and he asked, “Whose ·image [likeness; portrait] and ·name [inscription] are on the coin?”
They answered, “Caesar’s.” [C Ironically, the religious leaders carry coins bearing the idolatrous image of Caesar.]
17 Then Jesus said to them, “·Give [T Render] to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and give to God the things that are God’s.” They were amazed at what Jesus said.
Some Sadducees Try to Trick Jesus(C)
18 Then some Sadducees came to Jesus and asked him a question. (Sadducees believed that people would not rise from the dead.) 19 They said, “Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, then that man must marry the widow and ·have children [L raise up offspring/seed] for his brother [Deut. 25:5]. 20 Once there were seven brothers. The first brother ·married [L took a wife] and died, leaving no children. 21 So the second brother married the widow, but he also died and had no children. The same thing happened with the third brother. 22 All seven brothers married her and died, and none of the brothers had any children. Finally the woman died too. 23 Since all seven brothers had married her, ·when people rise from the dead [L at the resurrection], whose wife will she be?”
24 Jesus answered, “·You are mistaken [L Are you not mistaken/in error…?] because you don’t know what the Scriptures say, and don’t you know about the power of God. 25 [L For] When people rise from the dead, they will not marry, nor will they be given to someone to marry. They will be like the angels in heaven. 26 ·Surely you have read [L Have you not read…?] what God said about people rising from the dead. In the book in which Moses wrote about the burning bush [Ex. 3:1–12], it says that God told Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob [Ex. 3:6; C God is still the God of the patriarchs, so they must have a continued existence after death].’ 27 God is the God of the living, not the dead. You Sadducees are ·wrong [greatly deceived; badly mistaken]!”
The Most Important Command(D)
28 One of the ·teachers of the law [scribes] came and heard Jesus arguing with the Sadducees. Seeing that Jesus gave good answers to their questions, he asked Jesus, “Which of the commands is most important?”
29 Jesus answered, “The most important command is this: ‘·Listen, people of Israel [T Hear, O Israel]! The Lord our God is ·the only Lord [one Lord]. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength’ [Deut. 6:4–5; C these are the opening words of the Shema, the prayer said by pious Jews twice a day]. 31 The second command is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself’ [Lev. 19:18]. There are no commands ·more important [greater] than these.”
32 The man answered, “·That was a good answer [Well said!], Teacher. You were right when you said God is ·the only Lord [one] and there is no other God besides him. 33 One must love God with all his heart, all his mind, and all his strength. And one must love his neighbor as he loves himself. These commands are more important than all the ·animals [burnt offerings] and sacrifices we offer to God [1 Sam. 15:22; Hos. 6:6; Mic. 6:6–8].”
34 When Jesus saw that the man answered him ·wisely [thoughtfully; with insight], Jesus said to him, “You are close to the kingdom of God.” And after that, no one ·was brave enough [dared] to ask Jesus any more questions.
The Question About David’s Son(E)
35 As Jesus was teaching in the Temple [courts; complex], he asked, “Why do the ·teachers of the law [scribes] say that the ·Christ [Messiah] is the ·son [descendant] of David [C see 2 Sam. 7:12]? 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, said:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit by me at my right ·side [L hand; C the place of greatest honor beside the king],
    until I put your enemies ·under your control [L beneath your feet; C meaning defeated or made subject to your authority; Ps. 110:1].”’
37 David himself calls ·the Christ [the Messiah; L him] ‘Lord,’ so how can ·the Christ [the Messiah; L he] be his son?” The large crowd listened to Jesus with pleasure.
38 Jesus continued teaching and said, “Beware of the ·teachers of the law [scribes]. They like to walk around ·wearing fancy clothes [in long robes], and they love for people to greet them with respect in the marketplaces. 39 They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues and at ·feasts [banquets]. 40 But they ·cheat widows and steal their houses [L devour widows’ homes] and then try to make themselves look good by saying long prayers [in public]. They will receive a greater ·punishment [judgment; condemnation].”
True Giving(F)
41 Jesus sat near the Temple ·money box [offering chest; or treasury] and watched the people put in their money. Many rich people gave large sums of money. 42 Then a poor widow came and put in ·two small copper coins [L two lepta], ·which were only worth a few cents [L which is a quadrans; C a Roman coin worth 1/64 of a denarius, or about 10 minutes of work for a day laborer].
43 Calling his ·followers [disciples] to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow gave more than all those rich people. 44 They gave ·only what they did not need [out of their surplus/abundance]. This woman is very poor, but she gave all she had—everything she had to live on.”
