馬可福音 12
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
葡萄園主的比喻
12 耶穌開始用比喻對他們說:「有一個人栽種了一個葡萄園,四面圍上籬笆,挖了一個榨酒池,蓋了一座守望樓,然後把葡萄園租給一些農夫,就出外旅行。 2 到了收穫的[a]季節,他就派了一個奴僕到那些農夫那裡去,好從他們收取葡萄園的果子。 3 但他們抓住那奴僕,打了他,叫他空手回去。 4 園主又派另一個奴僕到他們那裡去。那些農夫[b]打傷了他的頭,並且侮辱他[c]。 5 園主再派另一個去,他們把他殺了。另派了許多去,有的被打,有的被殺。
6 「那園主還有一位——是他的愛子。最後他差派兒子到他們那裡,說:『他們一定會尊重我的兒子。』
7 「可是那些農夫彼此說:『這是繼承人。來,我們把他殺了,那繼業就歸我們了。』 8 於是他們抓住他,把他殺了,並扔出葡萄園外。
9 「那麼,葡萄園的主人會做什麼呢?他會來除滅那些農夫,把葡萄園交給別人。 10 你們難道也沒有讀過這段經文嗎?
『工匠所棄絕的石頭,
它已經成了房角的頭塊石頭;
11 這是主所成就的,
在我們眼中實在奇妙!』[d]」
12 祭司長們、律法師們和長老們知道這比喻是針對他們而說的,就想拘捕耶穌。可是他們怕民眾,於是離開耶穌走了。
神與凱撒
13 後來,他們派了一些法利賽人和希律黨的人到耶穌那裡,要找話柄來陷害他。 14 那些人來對耶穌說:「老師,我們知道你是真誠的。你不顧忌任何人,因為你不看人的情面,而是按真理教導神的道[e]。請問,向凱撒納稅,可以不可以呢?我們該交還是不該交呢?」
15 耶穌看出他們的假意,就對他們說:「你們為什麼試探我呢?拿一個銀幣[f]來給我看。」 16 他們就拿來了。耶穌問他們:「這是誰的像和名號?」
他們回答說:「是凱撒的。」
17 耶穌對他們說:「凱撒的歸給凱撒;神的歸給神。」這使他們感到驚奇。
撒都該人與復活
18 接著,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,說: 19 「老師,摩西為我們寫道:如果一個人的兄弟死了,撇下妻子而沒有留下孩子,他就應該娶這婦人,為兄弟留後裔。[g] 20 曾經有兄弟七人,第一個娶了妻子,死去了,沒有留下後裔。 21 第二個娶了這寡婦,也死了,沒有留下後裔。第三個也一樣。 22 結果,兄弟七個都[h]沒有留下後裔。到了最後,這婦人也死了。 23 既然這七個人都娶過她為妻,在復活的時候,當他們復活了[i],她將是誰的妻子呢?」
24 耶穌說:「你們之所以錯了,不就是因為你們不明白經上的話,也不明白神的大能嗎? 25 當人從死人中復活以後,他們既不娶也不嫁,而是像諸天之上的天使一樣。 26 關於死人復活的事,你們難道沒有讀過摩西書『荊棘篇』上,神怎樣對摩西說的嗎?神說『我是亞伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神。』[j] 27 神不是死人的神,而是活人的神[k]。你們完全錯了!」
最重要的誡命
28 有一個經文士前來,聽見他們辯論,見耶穌回答得好,就問耶穌:「所有的誡命中,哪一條是最重要的呢?」
29 耶穌回答:「[l]最重要的是:
31 「其次就是『要愛鄰如己。』[p]沒有別的誡命比這兩條更大的了。」
32 那經文士就對耶穌說:「不錯,老師,你真的講了:神只有一位,除他以外沒有別的神。 33 以全心、全智、[q]全力來愛神,並且要愛鄰如己,這是比所有的燔祭和各種祭祀都重要的。」
34 耶穌見他回答得有智慧,就對他說:「你離神的國不遠了。」於是,沒有人敢再質問耶穌了。
有關基督的問題
35 耶穌在聖殿裡教導人的時候問:「經文士們怎麼說基督是大衛的後裔呢? 36 大衛藉著聖靈,自己說過:
37 大衛自己稱基督為『主』,基督又怎麼會是大衛的後裔呢?」那一大群人都樂意聽耶穌講說。
要防備經文士
38 耶穌在他的教導中說:「你們要當心經文士們。他們喜歡穿著長袍走來走去,喜歡街市上的致敬問候, 39 又喜歡會堂裡的首位、宴席中的上座。 40 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[t]。」
寡婦的奉獻
41 耶穌面對奉獻箱坐著,看眾人怎樣把錢投入奉獻箱裡。許多富有的人投進了很多錢。 42 有一個窮寡婦來,投進兩個小錢[u],值一個銅幣[v]。 43 耶穌把他的門徒們召來,對他們說:「我確實地告訴你們:這窮寡婦所投入奉獻箱的,比所有的人投的更多。 44 因為大家是從自己的富餘中拿出來投進去;而這寡婦是從自己的缺乏中,把她所擁有的一切,就是她全部的養生費用都投進去了。」

Mark 12
New International Version
The Parable of the Tenants(A)
12 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard.(B) He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. 5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,(C) saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;(D)
11 the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’[a]?”(E)
12 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd;(F) so they left him and went away.(G)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(H)
13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians(I) to Jesus to catch him(J) in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[b] to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”(K)
And they were amazed at him.
Marriage at the Resurrection(L)
18 Then the Sadducees,(M) who say there is no resurrection,(N) came to him with a question. 19 “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.(O) 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[c] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures(P) or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.(Q) 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[d]?(R) 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
The Greatest Commandment(S)
28 One of the teachers of the law(T) came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f](U) 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g](V) There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.(W) 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”(X)
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”(Y) And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.(Z)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AA)(AB)
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts,(AC) he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?(AD) 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit,(AE) declared:
37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
The large crowd(AG) listened to him with delight.
Warning Against the Teachers of the Law
38 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(AH) 40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
The Widow’s Offering(AI)
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put(AJ) and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”(AK)

The Parable of the Tenants in the Vineyard(A)
12 (B)Then Jesus spoke to them in parables: “Once there was a man who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a hole for the wine press, and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to tenants and left home on a trip. 2 When the time came to gather the grapes, he sent a slave to the tenants to receive from them his share of the harvest. 3 The tenants grabbed the slave, beat him, and sent him back without a thing. 4 Then the owner sent another slave; the tenants beat him over the head and treated him shamefully. 5 The owner sent another slave, and they killed him; and they treated many others the same way, beating some and killing others. 6 The only one left to send was the man's own dear son. Last of all, then, he sent his son to the tenants. ‘I am sure they will respect my son,’ he said. 7 But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the owner's son. Come on, let's kill him, and his property will be ours!’ 8 So they grabbed the son and killed him and threw his body out of the vineyard.
9 “What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do?” asked Jesus. “He will come and kill those tenants and turn the vineyard over to others. 10 (C)Surely you have read this scripture?
‘The stone which the builders rejected as worthless
turned out to be the most important of all.
11 This was done by the Lord;
what a wonderful sight it is!’”
12 The Jewish leaders tried to arrest Jesus, because they knew that he had told this parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd, so they left him and went away.
The Question about Paying Taxes(D)
13 Some Pharisees and some members of Herod's party were sent to Jesus to trap him with questions. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you tell the truth, without worrying about what people think. You pay no attention to anyone's status, but teach the truth about God's will for people. Tell us, is it against our Law to pay taxes to the Roman Emperor? Should we pay them or not?”
15 But Jesus saw through their trick and answered, “Why are you trying to trap me? Bring a silver coin, and let me see it.”
16 They brought him one, and he asked, “Whose face and name are these?”
“The Emperor's,” they answered.
17 So Jesus said, “Well, then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and pay to God what belongs to God.”
And they were amazed at Jesus.
The Question about Rising from Death(E)
18 (F)Then some Sadducees, who say that people will not rise from death, came to Jesus and said, 19 (G)“Teacher, Moses wrote this law for us: ‘If a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, that man's brother must marry the widow so that they can have children who will be considered the dead man's children.’ 20 Once there were seven brothers; the oldest got married and died without having children. 21 Then the second one married the woman, and he also died without having children. The same thing happened to the third brother, 22 and then to the rest: all seven brothers married the woman and died without having children. Last of all, the woman died. 23 Now, when all the dead rise to life on the day of resurrection, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her.”
24 Jesus answered them, “How wrong you are! And do you know why? It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power. 25 For when the dead rise to life, they will be like the angels in heaven and will not marry. 26 (H)Now, as for the dead being raised: haven't you ever read in the Book of Moses the passage about the burning bush? There it is written that God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 27 He is the God of the living, not of the dead. You are completely wrong!”
The Great Commandment(I)
28 A teacher of the Law was there who heard the discussion. He saw that Jesus had given the Sadducees a good answer, so he came to him with a question: “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
29 (J)Jesus replied, “The most important one is this: ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.[a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 (K)The second most important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment more important than these two.”
32 (L)The teacher of the Law said to Jesus, “Well done, Teacher! It is true, as you say, that only the Lord is God and that there is no other god but he. 33 (M)And you must love God with all your heart and with all your mind and with all your strength; and you must love your neighbor as you love yourself. It is more important to obey these two commandments than to offer on the altar animals and other sacrifices to God.”
34 (N)Jesus noticed how wise his answer was, and so he told him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”
After this nobody dared to ask Jesus any more questions.
The Question about the Messiah(O)
35 As Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked the question, “How can the teachers of the Law say that the Messiah will be the descendant of David? 36 (P)The Holy Spirit inspired David to say:
‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit here at my right side
until I put your enemies under your feet.’
37 David himself called him ‘Lord’; so how can the Messiah be David's descendant?”
Jesus Warns against the Teachers of the Law(Q)
A large crowd was listening to Jesus gladly. 38 As he taught them, he said, “Watch out for the teachers of the Law, who like to walk around in their long robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplace, 39 who choose the reserved seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts. 40 They take advantage of widows and rob them of their homes, and then make a show of saying long prayers. Their punishment will be all the worse!”
The Widow's Offering(R)
41 As Jesus sat near the Temple treasury, he watched the people as they dropped in their money. Many rich men dropped in a lot of money; 42 then a poor widow came along and dropped in two little copper coins, worth about a penny. 43 He called his disciples together and said to them, “I tell you that this poor widow put more in the offering box than all the others. 44 For the others put in what they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, put in all she had—she gave all she had to live on.”
