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！”

The Authority of Jesus Challenged
20 One(A) day[a] as He was teaching(B) the people in the temple complex and proclaiming the good news,(C) the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders,(D) came up 2 and said to Him: “Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Who is it who gave You this authority?”
3 He answered them, “I will also ask you a question. Tell Me, 4 was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?”
5 They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people(E) will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.”(F)
7 So they answered that they did not know its origin.[b]
8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
The Parable of the Vineyard Owner
9 Then(G) He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard,(H) leased it to tenant farmers, and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a slave to the farmers so that they might give him some fruit from the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent yet another slave, but they beat that one too, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 And he sent yet a third, but they wounded this one too and threw him out.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my beloved(I) son. Perhaps[c] they will respect him.’
14 “But when the tenant farmers saw him, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let’s kill him, so the inheritance will be ours!’(J) 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and destroy(K) those farmers and give the vineyard to others.”
But when they heard this they said, “No—never!”(L)
17 But He looked at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of this Scripture:[d](M)
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and if it falls on anyone, it will grind him to powder!”(O)
19 Then the scribes and the chief priests(P) looked for a way to get their hands on Him(Q) that very hour, because they knew He had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.(R)
God and Caesar
20 They[g](S) watched closely(T) and sent spies(U) who pretended to be righteous,[h] so they could catch Him in what He said,[i](V) to hand Him(W) over to the governor’s(X) rule and authority. 21 They questioned Him, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly,(Y) and You don’t show partiality,[j](Z) but teach truthfully the way of God.(AA) 22 Is it lawful(AB) for us to pay taxes(AC) to Caesar(AD) or not?”
23 But detecting their craftiness, He said to them,[k] 24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?”
“Caesar’s,” they said.
25 “Well then,” He told them, “give back to Caesar(AE) the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 They were not able to catch Him in what He said[l] in public,[m] and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.(AF)
The Sadducees and the Resurrection
27 Some(AG) of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection,(AH) came up and questioned Him: 28 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.(AI)[n] 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children. 30 Also the second[o] 31 and the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.”[p]
34 Jesus told them, “The sons of this age(AJ) marry and are given in marriage.(AK) 35 But those who are counted worthy(AL) to take part in that age(AM) and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 For they cannot die anymore,(AN) because they are like angels and are sons of God,(AO) since they are sons of the resurrection. 37 Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.(AP)[q] 38 He is not God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to[r] Him.”(AQ)
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well.” 40 And they no longer dared to ask Him anything.
The Question about the Messiah
41 Then(AR) He said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is the Son of David?(AS) 42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms:(AT)
The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand
43 until I make Your enemies Your footstool.’(AU)[s]
44 David calls Him ‘Lord’; how then can the Messiah be his Son?”(AV)
Warning against the Scribes
45 While(AW) all the people were listening, He said to His disciples, 46 “Beware(AX) of the scribes, who want to go around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces, the front seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.(AY) 47 They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive greater punishment.”[t]

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.
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
