路加福音 20:1-26
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
质问耶稣凭甚么权柄作事(A)
20 有一天,耶稣在殿里教导人,宣讲福音,众祭司长、经学家和长老上前来, 2 对他说:“告诉我们,你凭着甚么权柄作这些事?给你这权柄的是谁?” 3 他回答他们:“我也要问你们一句话,你们告诉我: 4 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的,还是从人来的呢?” 5 他们就彼此议论说:“如果我们说:‘是从天上来的’,他就会问:‘那你们为甚么不相信他呢?’ 6 如果我们说:‘是从人来的’,众人都会用石头打我们,因为他们都认定约翰是先知。” 7 于是他们回答耶稣:“我们不知道是从哪里来的。” 8 耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们,我凭着甚么权柄作这些事。”
佃户的比喻(B)
9 于是耶稣向众人讲了这个比喻:“有一个人栽种了一个葡萄园,租给佃户,就远行去了很久。 10 到了时候,园主派了一个仆人到佃户那里,叫他们把葡萄园当纳的果子交给他。佃户却打了他,放他空手回去。 11 园主又派另一个仆人去,佃户又打了他,并且侮辱他,也叫他空手回去。 12 于是他又派第三个去,佃户把他打伤,赶他走了。 13 葡萄园的主人说:‘怎么办呢?我要派我的爱子去,也许这一个他们会尊敬的。’ 14 佃户一看他,就彼此商议说:‘这是继承产业的,让我们杀了他,那么,产业就成为我们的了。’ 15 于是他们把园主的爱子推出葡萄园外杀了。主人要怎样对待他们呢? 16 他要来除掉这些佃户,把葡萄园租给别人。”他们听见了就说:“千万不要有这样的事发生!” 17 耶稣看着他们,说:“那么,
‘建筑工人所弃的石头,
成了房角的主要石头’,
这经文是甚么意思呢? 18 凡是跌在那石头上的,就必摔碎;那石头掉在谁的身上,就必把他压得粉碎。” 19 经学家和祭司长知道这比喻是针对他们说的,当时就想动手拿他,可是又害怕群众。
以纳税的事问难耶稣(C)
20 经学家和祭司长差派奸细伪装好人去窥探耶稣,要在他的话上抓着把柄,好把他交由总督全权裁决。 21 奸细问他:“老师,我们知道你所说所教的都对,并且不讲情面,只照着真理把 神的道教导人。 22 我们纳税给凯撒可以不可以?” 23 耶稣看透他们的诡计,就对他们说: 24 “给我一个银币看看,上面是谁的像,谁的名号?”他们说:“凯撒的。” 25 耶稣说:“这样,凯撒的应当归给凯撒, 神的应当归给 神。” 26 他们在群众面前,不能抓住耶稣的把柄,又希奇他的回答,就沉默下来。

质问耶稣的权柄
20 有一天,耶稣正在圣殿里教导人、传讲福音,祭司长、律法教师和长老上前, 2 质问祂:“告诉我们,你凭什么权柄做这些事?谁授权给你了?”
3 耶稣回答说:“我也问你们一个问题。你们告诉我, 4 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的还是从人来的?”
5 他们彼此议论说:“如果我们说‘是从天上来的’,祂一定会问,‘那你们为什么不相信他?’ 6 如果我们说‘是从人来的’,百姓会拿石头打死我们,因为他们相信约翰是先知。” 7 于是,他们回答说:“我们不知道约翰的洗礼是从哪里来的。”
8 耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。”
利欲熏心的佃户
9 接着耶稣对众人讲了个比喻:“有人开垦了一个葡萄园,把园子租给几个佃户,就出远门了。 10 到了收获的季节,他差奴仆去葡萄园向佃户收取他应得的收成,但那些佃户却把奴仆揍了一顿,使他空手而归。 11 园主又派另一个奴仆去,那些佃户照样将他殴打并羞辱一番,使他空手而归。 12 园主又派第三个奴仆去,他们又把他打伤,抛在园外。
13 “园主说,‘我该怎样办呢?不如叫我所疼爱的儿子去吧。他们大概会尊敬他。’
14 “岂料那些佃户看见来人是园主的儿子,便彼此商量说,‘这个人是产业继承人,我们把他杀掉,这葡萄园就归我们了!’ 15 于是他们把园主的儿子拖到葡萄园外杀了。
“那么,园主会怎样处治他们呢? 16 他必来杀掉这些佃户,把葡萄园转租给别人。”
众人听了就说:“但愿这种事永远不会发生!”
17 耶稣定睛看着他们,问道:“那么,圣经上说,
“‘工匠丢弃的石头已成了房角石’,
这句话是什么意思呢? 18 凡跌在这石头上的人,将粉身碎骨;这石头落在谁身上,将把谁砸烂。”
纳税问题
19 律法教师和祭司长听出这比喻是针对他们说的,便想立刻下手捉拿耶稣,但又害怕百姓。 20 于是,他们密切地监视耶稣,又派遣密探假装好人,想从祂的话里找把柄抓祂去见总督。
21 那些密探问耶稣:“老师,我们知道你所讲所传的道都是正确的,也知道你不看人的情面,只按真理传上帝的道。 22 那么,我们向凯撒纳税对不对呢?”
23 耶稣看破他们的阴谋, 24 就叫他们拿一个银币来,问他们:“上面刻的是谁的像和名号?”他们说:“凯撒的。”
25 耶稣说:“属于凯撒的,要给凯撒;属于上帝的,要给上帝。”
26 耶稣的回答令他们惊奇,他们无法当众找到把柄,只好闭口不言。

Luke 20:1-26
King James Version
20 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
