路加福音 20
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
耶稣的权柄受到质问(A)
20 有一天,耶稣在圣殿里教导百姓,宣讲福音的时候,祭司长、文士和长老上前来, 2 问他说:“你告诉我们,你仗着什么权柄做这些事?给你这权柄的是谁呢?” 3 耶稣回答他们:“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,还是从人间来的呢?” 5 他们彼此商量说:“我们若说‘从天上来的’,他会说‘这样,你们为什么不信他呢?’ 6 我们若说‘从人间来的’,所有的百姓都会用石头打死我们,因为他们信约翰是先知。” 7 于是他们回答:“我们不知道是从哪里来的。” 8 耶稣对他们说:“我也不告诉你们,我仗着什么权柄做这些事。”
恶园户的比喻(B)
9 耶稣用这个比喻对百姓说:“有人开垦了一个葡萄园,租给园户,就出外远行,去了许久。 10 到了时候,他打发一个仆人到园户那里去,叫他们把园中当纳的果子交给他;园户竟打了他,叫他空手回去。 11 园主又打发另一个仆人去,他们也打了他,并且侮辱他,叫他空手回去。 12 园主又打发第三个仆人去,他们也打伤了他,把他推出去了。 13 葡萄园主说:‘我要怎么做呢?我要打发我的爱子去,或许他们会尊敬他。’ 14 可是,园户看见他,彼此说:‘这是承受产业的。我们杀了他,产业就归我们了!’ 15 于是他们把他扔出葡萄园外,杀了。这样,葡萄园主要怎么处置他们呢? 16 他要来除灭那些园户,将葡萄园转给别人。”听见的人说:“绝对不可!” 17 耶稣看着他们,说:“那么,经上记着:
‘匠人所丢弃的石头
已作了房角的头块石头。’
这是什么意思呢? 18 凡跌在那石头上的,一定会跌得粉碎;那石头掉在谁的身上,就要把谁压得稀烂。” 19 文士和祭司长看出这比喻是指着他们说的,当时就想要下手拿他,只是惧怕百姓。
纳税给凯撒的问题(C)
20 于是他们窥探耶稣,打发奸细装作好人,要在他的话上抓把柄,好把他交给总督处置。 21 奸细就问耶稣:“老师,我们知道你所讲所教的都很正确,也不看人的面子,而是诚诚实实传 神的道。 22 我们纳税给凯撒合不合法?” 23 耶稣看出他们的诡诈,就对他们说: 24 “拿一个银币来给我看。这像和这名号是谁的?”他们说:“是凯撒的。” 25 耶稣对他们说:“这样,凯撒的归凯撒, 神的归 神。” 26 他们无法当着百姓在他的话上抓到把柄,又因他的对答而惊讶,就闭口不言了。
复活的问题(D)
27 有些撒都该人来见耶稣。他们说没有复活这回事,于是问耶稣: 28 “老师,摩西为我们写下这话:‘某人的哥哥若死了,有妻无子,他该娶哥哥的妻子,为哥哥生子立后。’ 29 那么,有兄弟七人,第一个娶了妻,没有孩子死了。 30 第二个、 31 第三个也娶过她;同样地,七个人都娶过她,没有留下孩子就死了。 32 后来,那妇人也死了。 33 那么,在复活的时候,那妇人是哪一个的妻子呢?因为他们七个人都娶过她。” 34 耶稣对他们说:“这世代的人有娶有嫁, 35 惟有配得那要来的世代和从死人中复活的人不娶也不嫁。 36 因为他们不能再死,和天使一样;既然是复活的人,他们就是 神的儿子。 37 至于死人复活,摩西在《荆棘篇》上就指明了,他称主是亚伯拉罕的 神,以撒的 神,雅各的 神。 38 神不是死人的 神,而是活人的 神,因为对他来说,人都是活的。” 39 有几个文士说:“老师,你说得好。” 40 以后,他们不敢再问他什么了。
基督与大卫的关系(E)
41 耶稣对他们说:“人们怎么说基督是大卫的后裔呢? 42 《诗篇》上大卫自己说:
“主对我主说:
‘你坐在我的右边,
43 等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳。’
44 大卫既称他为主,他怎么又是大卫的后裔呢?”
谴责文士(F)
45 众百姓听的时候,耶稣对他的门徒说: 46 “你们要防备文士。他们好穿长袍走来走去,喜欢人们在街市上向他们问安,又喜爱会堂里的高位,宴席上的首座。 47 他们侵吞寡妇的家产,假意作很长的祷告。这些人要受更重的惩罚!”
Luke 20
Names of God Bible
Jesus’ Authority Challenged(A)
20 One day Yeshua was teaching the people in the temple courtyard and telling them the Good News. The chief priests, the experts in Moses’ Teachings, and the leaders came up to him. 2 They asked him, “Tell us, what gives you the right to do these things? Who told you that you could do this?”
3 Yeshua answered them, “I, too, have a question for you. Tell me, 4 did John’s right to baptize come from heaven or from humans?”
5 They talked about this among themselves. They said, “If we say, ‘from heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘from humans,’ everyone will stone us to death. They’re convinced that John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered that they didn’t know who gave John the right to baptize.
8 Yeshua told them, “Then I won’t tell you why I have the right to do these things.”
A Story about a Vineyard(B)
9 Then, using this illustration, Yeshua spoke to the people: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to vineyard workers, and went on a long trip.
10 “At the right time he sent a servant to the workers to obtain from them a share of the grapes from the vineyard. But the workers beat the servant and sent him back with nothing. 11 So he sent a different servant. The workers beat him, treated him shamefully, and sent him back with nothing. 12 Then he sent a third servant. But they injured this one and threw him out of the vineyard.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I’ll send my son, whom I love. They’ll probably respect him.’
14 “When the workers saw him, they talked it over among themselves. They said, ‘This is the heir. Let’s kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“What will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will destroy these workers and give the vineyard to others.”
Those who heard him said, “That’s unthinkable!”
17 Then Yeshua looked straight at them and asked, “What, then, does this Scripture verse mean:
‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone’?
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken. If that stone falls on anyone, it will crush that person.”
19 The experts in Moses’ Teachings and the chief priests wanted to arrest him right there, but they were afraid of the people. They knew that he had directed this illustration at them.
A Question about Taxes(C)
20 So they watched for an opportunity to send out some spies. The spies were to act like sincere religious people. They wanted to catch him saying the wrong thing so that they could hand him over to the governor. 21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you’re right in what you say and teach. Besides, you don’t play favorites. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to the emperor or not?”
23 He saw through their scheme, so he said to them, 24 “Show me a coin. Whose face and name is this?”
They answered, “The emperor’s.”
25 He said to them, “Well, then give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God.”
26 They couldn’t make him say anything wrong in front of the people. His answer surprised them, so they said no more.
The Dead Come Back to Life(D)
27 Some Sadducees, who say that people will never come back to life, came to Yeshua. They asked him, 28 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, ‘If a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry his widow and have children for his brother.’ 29 There were seven brothers. The first got married and died without having children. 30 Then the second brother married the widow, 31 and so did the third. In the same way all seven brothers married the widow, died, and left no children. 32 Finally, the woman died. 33 Now, when the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her.”
34 Yeshua said to them, “In this world people get married. 35 But people who are considered worthy to come back to life and live in the next world will neither marry 36 nor die anymore. They are the same as the angels. They are God’s children who have come back to life.
37 “Even Moses showed in the passage about the bush that the dead come back to life. He says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 38 He’s not the God of the dead but of the living. In God’s sight all people are living.”
39 Some experts in Moses’ Teachings responded, “Teacher, that was well said.” 40 From that time on, no one dared to ask him another question.
How Can David’s Son Be David’s Lord?(E)
41 Yeshua said to them, “How can people say that the Messiah is David’s son? 42 David says in the book of Psalms,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Take the highest position in heaven
43 until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’
44 David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”
Jesus Disapproves of the Example Set by the Experts in Moses’ Teachings(F)
45 While all the people were listening, Yeshua said to the disciples, 46 “Beware of the experts in Moses’ Teachings! They like to walk around in long robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces, to have the front seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at dinners. 47 They rob widows by taking their houses and then say long prayers to make themselves look good. The experts in Moses’ Teachings will receive the most severe punishment.”
Luke 20
New International Version
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(A)
20 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts(B) and proclaiming the good news,(C) the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2 “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?”(D)
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me: 4 John’s baptism(E)—was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
5 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people(F) will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”(G)
7 So they answered, “We don’t know where it was from.”
8 Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
The Parable of the Tenants(H)
9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard,(I) rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.(J) 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love;(K) perhaps they will respect him.’
14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those tenants(L) and give the vineyard to others.”
When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”
17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”(N)
19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him(O) immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.(P)
Paying Taxes to Caesar(Q)
20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said,(R) so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.(S) 21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.(T) 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(U) and to God what is God’s.”
26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.
The Resurrection and Marriage(V)
27 Some of the Sadducees,(W) who say there is no resurrection,(X) came to Jesus with a question. 28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.(Y) 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come(Z) and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children,(AA) since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[b](AB) 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!” 40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.(AC)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AD)
41 Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?(AE) 42 David himself declares in the Book of Psalms:
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
43 until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’[c](AF)
44 David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
Warning Against the Teachers of the Law
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(AG) 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
