马可福音 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
凶恶园户的比喻
12 耶稣就用比喻对他们说：“有人栽了一个葡萄园，周围圈上篱笆，挖了一个压酒池，盖了一座楼，租给园户，就往外国去了。 2 到了时候，打发一个仆人到园户那里，要从园户收葡萄园的果子。 3 园户拿住他，打了他，叫他空手回去。 4 再打发一个仆人到他们那里，他们打伤他的头，并且凌辱他。 5 又打发一个仆人去，他们就杀了他。后又打发好些仆人去，有被他们打的，有被他们杀的。 6 园主还有一位是他的爱子，末后又打发他去，意思说：‘他们必尊敬我的儿子。’ 7 不料那些园户彼此说：‘这是承受产业的。来吧，我们杀他，产业就归我们了！’ 8 于是拿住他，杀了他，把他丢在园外。 9 这样，葡萄园的主人要怎么办呢？他要来除灭那些园户，将葡萄园转给别人。 10 经上写着说：‘匠人所弃的石头，已做了房角的头块石头。 11 这是主所做的，在我们眼中看为稀奇。’这经你们没有念过吗？” 12 他们看出这比喻是指着他们说的，就想要捉拿他，只是惧怕百姓，于是离开他走了。
巧言盘问
13 后来，他们打发几个法利赛人和几个希律党的人到耶稣那里，要就着他的话陷害他。 14 他们来了，就对他说：“夫子，我们知道你是诚实的，什么人你都不徇情面，因为你不看人的外貌，乃是诚诚实实传神的道。纳税给恺撒可以不可以？
纳税给恺撒
15 “我们该纳不该纳？”耶稣知道他们的假意，就对他们说：“你们为什么试探我？拿一个银钱来给我看。” 16 他们就拿了来。耶稣说：“这像和这号是谁的？”他们说：“是恺撒的。” 17 耶稣说：“恺撒的物当归给恺撒，神的物当归给神。”他们就很稀奇他。
撒都该人辩驳复活之事
18 撒都该人常说没有复活的事。他们来问耶稣，说： 19 “夫子，摩西为我们写着说：‘人若死了，撇下妻子，没有孩子，他兄弟当娶他的妻，为哥哥生子立后。’ 20 有弟兄七人，第一个娶了妻，死了，没有留下孩子。 21 第二个娶了她，也死了，没有留下孩子。第三个也是这样。 22 那七个人都没有留下孩子。末了，那妇人也死了。 23 当复活的时候，她是哪一个的妻子呢？因为他们七个人都娶过她。” 24 耶稣说：“你们所以错了，岂不是因为不明白圣经，不晓得神的大能吗？ 25 人从死里复活，也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一样。 26 论到死人复活，你们没有念过摩西的书‘荆棘篇’上所载的吗？神对摩西说：‘我是亚伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神。’ 27 神不是死人的神，乃是活人的神。你们是大错了！”
最大的诫命
28 有一个文士来，听见他们辩论，晓得耶稣回答得好，就问他说：“诫命中哪是第一要紧的呢？” 29 耶稣回答说：“第一要紧的就是说：‘以色列啊，你要听，主我们神是独一的主。 30 你要尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主你的神。’ 31 其次就是说：‘要爱人如己。’再没有比这两条诫命更大的了。” 32 那文士对耶稣说：“夫子说神是一位，实在不错！除了他以外，再没有别的神。 33 并且尽心、尽智、尽力爱他，又爱人如己，就比一切燔祭和各样祭祀好得多。” 34 耶稣见他回答得有智慧，就对他说：“你离神的国不远了。”从此以后，没有人敢再问他什么。
35 耶稣在殿里教训人，就问他们说：“文士怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢？ 36 大卫被圣灵感动，说：‘主对我主说：“你坐在我的右边，等我使你仇敌做你的脚凳。”’ 37 大卫既自己称他为主，他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢？”众人都喜欢听他。
38 耶稣在教训之间说：“你们要防备文士。他们好穿长衣游行，喜爱人在街市上问他们的安， 39 又喜爱会堂里的高位、筵席上的首座。 40 他们侵吞寡妇的家产，假意作很长的祷告。这些人要受更重的刑罚！”
主称赞寡妇的捐资
41 耶稣对银库坐着，看众人怎样投钱入库。有好些财主往里投了若干的钱。 42 有一个穷寡妇来，往里投了两个小钱，就是一个大钱。 43 耶稣叫门徒来，说：“我实在告诉你们：这穷寡妇投入库里的比众人所投的更多， 44 因为他们都是自己有余，拿出来投在里头，但这寡妇是自己不足，把她一切养生的都投上了。”
Mark 12
Contemporary English Version
Renters of a Vineyard
(Matthew 21.33-46; Luke 20.9-19)
12 (A) Jesus then told them this story:
A farmer once planted a vineyard. He built a wall around it and dug a pit to crush the grapes in. He also built a lookout tower. Then he rented out his vineyard and left the country.
2 When it was harvest time, he sent a servant to get his share of the grapes. 3 The renters grabbed the servant, beat him up, and sent him away without a thing.
4 The owner sent another servant, but the renters beat him on the head and insulted him terribly. 5 Then the man sent another servant, and they killed him. He kept sending servant after servant. They beat some of them and killed some.
6 The owner had a son he loved very much. Finally, he sent his son to the renters because he thought they would respect him. 7 But they said to themselves, “Someday he will own this vineyard. Let's kill him! That way we can have it all for ourselves.” 8 So they grabbed the owner's son, killed him, and threw his body out of the vineyard.
9 Jesus asked, “What do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? He will come and kill those renters and let someone else have his vineyard. 10 (B) You surely know that the Scriptures say,
‘The stone the builders
tossed aside
is now the most important
stone of all.
11 This is something
the Lord has done,
and it is amazing to us.’ ”
12 The leaders knew that Jesus was really talking about them, and they wanted to arrest him. But because they were afraid of the crowd, they let him alone and left.
Paying Taxes
(Matthew 22.15-22; Luke 20.20-26)
13 The Pharisees got together with Herod's followers.[a] Then they sent some men to trick Jesus into saying something wrong. 14 They went to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are honest. You treat everyone with the same respect, no matter who they are. And you teach the truth about what God wants people to do. Tell us, should we pay taxes to the Emperor or not?”
15 Jesus knew what they were up to, and he said, “Why are you trying to test me? Show me a coin!”
16 They brought him a silver coin, and he asked, “Whose picture and name are on it?”
“The Emperor's,” they answered.
17 Then Jesus told them, “Give the Emperor what belongs to him and give God what belongs to God.” The men were amazed at Jesus.
Life in the Future World
(Matthew 22.23-33; Luke 20.27-40)
18 (C) The Sadducees did not believe that people would rise to life after death. So some of them came to Jesus and said:
19 (D) Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry the widow. Their first son would then be thought of as the son of the dead brother. 20 There were once seven brothers. The first one married, but died without having any children. 21 The second brother married his brother's widow, and he also died without having children. The same thing happened to the third brother, 22 and finally to all seven brothers. At last the woman died. 23 When God raises people from death, whose wife will this woman be? After all, she had been married to all seven brothers.
24 Jesus answered:
You are completely wrong! You don't know what the Scriptures teach. And you don't know anything about the power of God. 25 When God raises people to life, they won't marry. They will be like the angels in heaven. 26 (E) You surely know about people being raised to life. You know that in the story about Moses and the burning bush, God said, “I am the God worshiped by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”[b] 27 He isn't the God of the dead, but of the living. You Sadducees are all wrong.
The Most Important Commandment
(Matthew 22.34-40; Luke 10.25-28)
28 (F) One of the teachers of the Law of Moses came up while Jesus and the Sadducees were arguing. When he heard Jesus give a good answer, he asked him, “What is the most important commandment?”
29 (G) Jesus answered, “The most important one says: ‘People of Israel, you have only one Lord and God. 30 You must love him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.’ 31 (H) The second most important commandment says: ‘Love others as much as you love yourself.’ No other commandment is more important than these.”
32 (I) The man replied, “Teacher, you are certainly right to say there is only one God. 33 (J) It is also true that we must love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, and that we must love others as much as we love ourselves. These commandments are more important than all the sacrifices and offerings that we could possibly make.”
34 When Jesus saw that the man had given a sensible answer, he told him, “You are not far from God's kingdom.” After this, no one dared ask Jesus any more questions.
About David's Son
(Matthew 22.41-46; Luke 20.41-44)
35 As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “How can the teachers of the Law of Moses say the Messiah will come from the family of King David? 36 (K) The Holy Spirit led David to say,
‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit at my right side[c]
until I make your enemies
into a footstool for you.’
37 If David called the Messiah his Lord, how can the Messiah be his son?”[d]
The large crowd enjoyed listening to Jesus teach.
Jesus Condemns the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law of Moses
(Matthew 23.1-36; Luke 20.45-47)
38 As Jesus was teaching, he said:
Guard against the teachers of the Law of Moses! They love to walk around in long robes and be greeted in the market. 39 They like the front seats in the synagogues and the best seats at banquets. 40 But they cheat widows out of their homes and pray long prayers just to show off. They will be punished most of all.
A Widow's Offering
(Luke 21.1-4)
41 Jesus was sitting in the temple near the offering box and watching people put in their gifts. He noticed that many rich people were giving a lot of money. 42 Finally, a poor widow came up and put in two coins worth only a few pennies. 43 Jesus told his disciples to gather around him. Then he said:
I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 44 Everyone else gave what they didn't need. But she is very poor and gave everything she had. Now she doesn't have a cent to live on.
