路加福音 20
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
質疑耶穌的權柄
20 就在那些日子裡,有一天耶穌在聖殿裡教導民眾、傳福音的時候,祭司長們、經文士們和長老們一起上前來, 2 對他說:「請告訴我們:你憑什麼權柄做這些事?是誰給你這權柄的?」
3 耶穌回答他們,說:「我也要問你們一個問題,你們告訴我: 4 約翰的洗禮是來自天上,還是來自人間呢?」
5 他們就彼此商量,說:「如果我們說『是來自天上』,他就會問『你們為什麼不相信他呢?』 6 但如果說『是來自人間』,那麼民眾都會用石頭砸我們,因為他們深信約翰是先知。」
7 於是他們回答:「不知道是從哪裡來的。」
8 耶穌就對他們說:「我也不告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。」
葡萄園主的比喻
9 接著,耶穌開始對民眾講這個比喻:「有一個人栽種了一個葡萄園,把它租給一些農夫,然後就出外旅行,去了許久。 10 到了收穫的[a]季節,他就派了一個奴僕到那些農夫那裡去,好讓他們從葡萄園的果子中把當納的[b]交給他。但那些農夫打了他,叫他空手回去。 11 園主又派另一個奴僕去,可是他們把那個人也打了,並且侮辱他,叫他空手回去。 12 於是,他又派了第三個人去,他們又把這個人打傷,趕了出去。
13 「葡萄園的主人就說:『我該做什麼呢?我要派遣我的愛子,或許他們[c]會尊重他。』
14 「可是那些農夫看見他,就彼此討論說:『這是繼承人。[d]我們把他殺了,那繼業就成為我們的了。』 15 於是他們把他扔出葡萄園外,殺了。
「那麼,葡萄園的主人會怎麼對待他們呢? 16 他會來除滅這些農夫,把葡萄園交給別人。」
大家聽了就說:「絕不可有這樣的事!」
17 耶穌注視著他們,說:「那麼,經上記的『工匠所棄絕的石頭,它已經成了房角的頭塊石頭』[e]這話是什麼意思呢? 18 所有跌落在那石頭上的,就將被破碎;那石頭落在誰的身上,就會把誰砸得稀爛。」
19 經文士和祭司長們知道這個比喻是針對他們而說的,當時就想下手捉拿耶穌,可是又怕民眾。
神與凱撒
20 於是,他們密切注意,派了一些奸細裝做好人,要抓耶穌的話柄,好把他交在總督的管理和權柄之下。 21 那些奸細問耶穌,說:「老師,我們知道你所說所教導的都是對的,你也不顧人的情面,而是按真理教導神的道[f]。 22 請問:我們向凱撒納稅,可以不可以呢?」
23 耶穌看出他們的詭詐,就對他們說:[g] 24 「拿一個銀幣[h]給我看。這上面是誰的像和名號?」
他們說:「是凱撒的。」
25 耶穌對他們說:「因此,凱撒的歸給凱撒;神的歸給神。」
26 他們在民眾面前抓不到耶穌的話柄,又對他的答覆感到驚奇,就啞口無言了。
撒都該人與復活
27 撒都該人來到耶穌那裡,他們一向說沒有復活的事。他們問耶穌, 28 說:「老師,摩西為我們寫道:如果一個人的兄弟死了,留下妻子而沒有孩子,他就應該娶這婦人,為他兄弟留後裔。[i] 29 曾經有兄弟七人,第一個娶了妻子,沒有孩子就死了。 30 第二個、[j] 31 第三個也娶了她;七個人都是這樣,沒有留下兒女就死了。 32 後來這婦人也死了。 33 既然這七個人都娶過她為妻,那麼,在復活的時候,這婦人是誰的妻子呢?」
34 耶穌對他們說:「這世代的兒女又娶又嫁; 35 但那些算是配得上承受那世代,又配得上從死人中復活的人,既不娶也不嫁。 36 事實上,他們再也不會死,因為就與天使一樣;他們既然是復活的兒女,就是神的兒女了。 37 至於死人復活的事,摩西在『荊棘篇』上也指明了,正如稱主是『亞伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神。』[k] 38 所以神不是死人的神,而是活人的神;在神,人都是活著的。」
39 有一些經文士應聲說:「老師,你說得好。」 40 從此他們再也不敢質問他什麼了。
有關基督的問題
41 耶穌對他們說:「人怎麼說基督是大衛的後裔呢? 42 大衛自己在詩篇裡說:
『主對我主說:
你坐在我的右邊,
43 等我把你的敵人放在你的腳下做腳凳。』[l]
44 大衛既然稱基督為『主』,基督又怎麼會是大衛的後裔呢?」
要防備經文士
45 全體民眾正在聽的時候,耶穌對他的門徒說: 46 「你們要提防經文士。他們喜歡穿著長袍走來走去,喜愛街市上的致敬問候,又喜愛會堂裡的首位、宴席中的上座。 47 他們侵吞寡婦的家產,又假意做很長的禱告。這些人將受到更重的懲罰[m]。」

路 加 福 音 20
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
犹太人首领怀疑耶稣的权威
20 一天,耶稣正在大殿院里教导人们、传播福音,祭司长、律法师和年长的犹太首领走过来, 2 问耶稣∶“告诉我们,你凭什么权力做这些事情,谁给了你这种权力的呢?”
3 耶稣回答他们道∶“我也要问你们一个问题,你们告诉我: 4 约翰所施的洗礼来自天上还是来自人间呢?”
5 他们彼此议论说∶“如果我们说∶‘来自天上,’他将说∶‘那么你们为什么不相信他呢?’ 6 可是,如果咱们说∶‘是来自凡人,’那么所有的人都会朝我们扔石头,因为他们都相信约翰是先知。” 7 于是他们回答说∶“我们不知道。”
8 然后,耶稣对他们说∶“那么,我也不告诉你们我是凭什么权力做这些事。”
上帝派谴他的儿子
9 接着,耶稣又给人们讲了这个寓言∶“从前,有个人种了一个葡萄园,他把园子租给了一些农户,然后自己就离开了,在外面住了很长一段时间。 10 到了收葡萄的季节,他派了一个仆人去见那些农户,向他们收取他应得的那份果实,可是,农夫们殴打了他一顿,还把他两手空空地撵了回去。 11 所以,他又派另一个仆人去要,结果这个仆人也挨了一顿打,农户们还羞辱了他一番,然后让他空着手回去了。 12 园主于是又派了第三个仆人去,可是那些农户不但打伤了他,还把他扔出了大门。 13 葡萄园主说道∶‘我该怎么办呢?我就派我的爱子去吧,也许他们会尊敬他。’ 14 农户一看到园主的儿子,便私下议论道∶‘这是园主的继承人,咱们把他杀了,那份产业就归咱们了。’ 15 于是,他们把园主的儿子扔出了园子,杀害了他。
“那么,葡萄园主将会怎么对付那些农户呢? 16 他会来杀掉那些农户,把园子转租给别人。”
他们听到这个故事时,说道∶“这种事情绝不该发生!” 17 可耶稣注视着他们说∶“书上的这句话∶‘那块被建筑师舍弃的石头, 现在变成了基石’是什么意思呢? 18 跌倒在这块石头上的人,将会粉身碎骨;这块石头砸在谁身上,谁就会被砸得稀烂。”
19 律法师和祭司长明白耶稣的比喻是针对他们讲的,恨不得马上把耶稣抓起来,可是,他们又害怕民众。
犹太首领企图设陷井
20 所以,律法师和祭司长们密切地注视着耶稣,并派了一些奸细,装作很诚恳的样子,他们的计划是要抓住耶稣话里的把柄,以便把他交到有权有势的总督那里去。 21 这些奸细问耶稣∶“老师,我们知道你所说的和所教的东西都是正确的,也知道你一视同仁,你总是忠实地教导上帝之道, 22 那么,我们是否应该向凯撒交税呢?”
23 耶稣意识到他们设的诡计,就对他们说: 24 “拿一块银币来给我看看,谁的头像和名字刻在上面?”
25 他们说∶“是凯撒的。”
然后耶稣说∶“那么,就应该把属于凯撒的东西给凯撒,把属于上帝的东西给上帝。”
26 这些奸细对耶稣的回答十分惊讶,都哑口无言了,他们无法在众人面前抓住耶稣的话柄。
一些撒都该人企图设陷井
27 一些撒都该人来见耶稣,(他们不相信死人会复活。)他们问道: 28 “老师,摩西为我们写道:如果一个结了婚的男子死了,没留下儿女,他的兄弟就应该和他的遗孀结婚,代兄长生儿育女。 29 从前一家有七个兄弟,老大结婚后死了,没留下孩子。 30 老二便娶了这个寡妇,可老二也没有孩子就死了; 31 然后,老三又娶了这个寡妇,结果也是如此。如果这七个兄弟都娶过这个寡妇,可都没有留下孩子便死去了。 32 最后,这个女子也死了。 33 既然七个兄弟都娶过她,那么在他们复活后,她应该是谁的妻子呢?”
34 然后,耶稣对他们说∶“这个世界的人们有娶有嫁, 35 一人在今世后会配得上从死里复活,在那个世界的人,既不娶也不嫁, 36 因为,他们就像天使一样,所以不会再死;因为他们复活了,所以他们是上帝的儿女。 37 但是,在关于燃烧着的荆棘 [a]那段里,当他称主为‘亚伯拉罕的上帝、以撒的上帝和雅各的上帝’时,甚至连摩西也表明了死者能复活。 [b] 38 他(上帝),不是死人的上帝,而是活人的上帝,所有归属他的人们都是活着的。”
39 一些律法师答道∶“老师,您讲得真好!” 40 之后,他们没人再敢向耶稣提问题了。
基督是大卫的子孙还是他的主?
41 耶稣又对他们说∶“人们怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢? 42 因为大卫本人在《诗篇》书中说道:
‘主对我的主说:
坐在我的右侧,
43 直到我把你的敌人变成你的垫脚凳。’ (A)
44 既然大卫称基督为‘主’,那么基督怎么可能是大卫的子孙呢?”
警告当心律法师
45 当所有的人们听耶稣讲话的时候,耶稣对他的门徒们说∶ 46 “提防那些律法师。他们喜欢穿着长袍到处招摇,他们喜欢在集市上受人毕恭毕敬地问候;他们喜欢在犹太会堂里坐高位,在宴席上坐首位; 47 他们骗取寡妇的房屋,表演长篇的祷告,这些人将会受到更严厉的惩罚!”

Luke 20
Contemporary English Version
A Question about Jesus' Authority
(Matthew 21.23-27; Mark 11.27-33)
20 One day, Jesus was teaching in the temple and telling the good news. So the chief priests, the teachers, and the nation's leaders 2 asked him, “What right do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
3 Jesus replied, “I want to ask you a question. 4 Who gave John the right to baptize? Was it God in heaven or merely some human being?”
5 They talked this over and said to each other, “We can't say God gave John this right. Jesus will ask us why we didn't believe John. 6 And we can't say it was merely some human who gave John the right to baptize. The crowd will stone us to death, because they think John was a prophet.”
7 So they told Jesus, “We don't know who gave John the right to baptize.”
8 Jesus replied, “Then I won't tell you who gave me the right to do what I do.”
Renters of a Vineyard
(Matthew 21.33-46; Mark 12.1-12)
9 (A) Jesus told the people this story:
A man once planted a vineyard and rented it out. Then he left the country for a long time. 10 When it was time to harvest the crop, he sent a servant to ask the renters for his share of the grapes. But they beat up the servant and sent him away without anything. 11 So the owner sent another servant. The renters also beat him up. They insulted him terribly and sent him away without a thing. 12 The owner sent a third servant. He was also beaten terribly and thrown out of the vineyard.
13 The owner then said to himself, “What am I going to do? I know what. I'll send my son, the one I love so much. They will surely respect him!”
14 When the renters saw the owner's son, they said to one another, “Someday he will own the vineyard. Let's kill him! Then we can have it all for ourselves.” 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
Jesus asked, “What do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? 16 I'll tell you what. He will come and kill those renters and let someone else have his vineyard.”
When the people heard this, they said, “This must never happen!”
17 (B) But Jesus looked straight at them and said, “Then what do the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘The stone the builders tossed aside is now the most important stone of all’? 18 Anyone who stumbles over this stone will get hurt, and anyone it falls on will be smashed to pieces.”
19 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses knew that Jesus was talking about them when he was telling this story. They wanted to arrest him right then, but they were afraid of the people.
Paying Taxes
(Matthew 22.15-22; Mark 12.13-17)
20 Jesus' enemies kept watching him closely, because they wanted to hand him over to the Roman governor. So they sent some men who pretended to be good. But they were really spies trying to catch Jesus saying something wrong. 21 The spies said to him, “Teacher, we know you teach the truth about what God wants people to do. And you treat everyone with the same respect, no matter who they are. 22 Tell us, should we pay taxes to the Emperor or not?”
23 Jesus knew they were trying to trick him. So he told them, 24 “Show me a coin.” Then he asked, “Whose picture and name are on it?”
“The Emperor's,” they answered.
25 Then he told them, “Give the Emperor what belongs to him and give God what belongs to God.” 26 Jesus' enemies could not catch him saying anything wrong there in front of the people. They were amazed at his answer and kept quiet.
Life in the Future World
(Matthew 22.23-33; Mark 12.18-27)
27 (C) The Sadducees did not believe that people would rise to life after death. So some of them came to Jesus 28 (D) and said:
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.
29 There were once seven brothers. The first one married, but died without having any children. 30 The second one married his brother's widow, and he also died without having any children. 31 The same thing happened to the third one. Finally, all seven brothers married this woman and died without having any children. 32 At last the woman died. 33 When God raises people from death, whose wife will this woman be? All seven brothers had married her.
34 Jesus answered:
The people in this world get married. 35 But in the future world no one who is worthy to rise from death will either marry 36 or die. They will be like the angels and will be God's children, because they have been raised to life.
37 (E) In the story about the burning bush, Moses clearly shows that people will live again. He said, “The Lord is the God worshiped by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”[a] 38 So the Lord isn't the God of the dead, but of the living. This means that everyone is alive as far as God is concerned.
39 Some of the teachers of the Law of Moses said, “Teacher, you have given a good answer!” 40 From then on, no one dared to ask Jesus any questions.
About David's Son
(Matthew 22.41-46; Mark 12.35-37)
41 Jesus asked, “Why do people say that the Messiah will be the son of King David?[b] 42 (F) In the book of Psalms, David himself says,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit at my right side[c]
43 until I make your enemies
into a footstool for you.’
44 David spoke of the Messiah as his Lord, so how can the Messiah be his son?”
Jesus and the Teachers of the Law of Moses
(Matthew 23.1-36; Mark 12.38-40; Luke 11.37-54)
45 While everyone was listening to Jesus, he said to his disciples:
46 Guard against the teachers of the Law of Moses! They love to walk around in long robes, and they like to be greeted in the market. They want the front seats in the synagogues and the best seats at banquets. 47 But they cheat widows out of their homes and then pray long prayers just to show off. These teachers will be punished most of all.
