邀请人们赴宴的寓言

22 耶稣再次用寓言对人们说,他说: “天国就好像是一位为儿子举行婚宴的国王。 他派奴仆去通知已被邀请的人来出席婚宴,可是他们都不想来。

“然后,国王又派了一些奴仆去,并对他们说∶‘告诉那些被邀请的人,说我的宴席已经摆好,牛和肥畜都已宰了,一切准备就绪,快来赴宴吧。’

“但是被邀请的客人都不理睬他们,各忙各的。一个人去田里干活,另一个人去做买卖。 其他的一些人抓住国王的奴仆,凌辱他们,把他们杀了。 国王勃然大怒,派军队杀了那些凶手,烧毁了他们的城市。

“然后,国王对奴仆们说∶‘婚宴已经准备就绪,可是那些被邀请的人不配出席。 你们到街头去,无论你们碰到谁,都请他们来赴宴。’ 10 于是奴仆们到街上去,不分好坏,把他们见到的人统统请来。宴会厅里坐满了客人。

11 “国王来见宾客。他看到一个人没穿礼服, 12 就问∶‘朋友,你怎么连礼服也不穿就来了呢?’那人无言以对。 13 于是国王对奴仆说∶‘把他的手脚绑起来,扔到外边的黑暗里去,在那里的人们都将切齿痛哭。’ 14 被邀请的人很多,被选上的人却很少。”

犹太首领试图设陷井

15 法利赛人离开耶稣教导人们的地方,策划如何抓住耶稣话里的把柄。 16 他们派了一些他们的门徒和希律党人去见耶稣。他们说∶“老师,我们知道您很诚实,忠实地传播上帝的真理之道,您不在乎别人的看法,您待人一视同仁。 17 请您告诉我们:我们该不该向凯撒交税?”

18 耶稣知道他们不怀好意,就说∶“你们这些伪善的家伙,为什么想试探我呢? 19 让我看看你们纳税用的银币。”他们递给耶稣一枚银币, 20 耶稣问∶“这上面刻的是谁的头像和名字?”

21 他们说∶“是凯撒的。”

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。”

22 听了这话,他们都非常惊讶,于是离开耶稣走了。

撒都该人试图设陷井

23 同一天,一些撒都该人来问耶稣一个问题,(他们这些人不相信人会复活。) 24 他们说∶“老师,摩西说∶‘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。 25 从前我们这里有七个兄弟,老大结婚后死了,没留下孩子,老二就娶了这寡妇。 26 可是也没有孩子也死了。就这样,兄弟七人都和这女子结了婚,但都没有和这女子生下孩子就死了。 27 最后,这个女子也死了。 28 请问,即然他们都和她结过婚,那么在他们复活后,这个女子应该是谁的妻子呢?”

29 耶稣回答说∶“你们错了,因为你们既不理解《经》,也不了解上帝的力量。 30 复活之后,人们像天上的天使一样,不娶也不嫁。 31 另外,关于死者复活的事,你们难道没有读过上帝告诉你们的话吗? 32 他说∶‘我是亚伯拉罕的上帝,我是以撒的上帝,我是雅各的上帝。’ [a]上帝不是死人的上帝,而是活人的上帝。”

33 众人听了这些,对他的教导感到惊奇。

最重要的诫命

34 耶稣的这番话说得撒都该人哑口无言,法利赛人又聚在一起, 35 其中一个人是研究摩西律法的专家,他想试探耶稣,他问道: 36 “老师,律法中的哪条诫命是最重要的?”

37 耶稣回答说∶“‘要全心全意、尽智地爱主­—你的上帝。’ [b] 38 这是首要的一条,也是最重要的。 39 第二条和第一条一样∶‘爱人如爱己。’ [c] 40 这两条命令是一切律法和先知教导的基础。”

耶稣向法利赛人提问

41 法利赛人聚到一起时,耶稣问他们: 42 “你们怎么看基督?他是谁的子孙?”

他们回答∶“大卫的子孙。”

43 耶稣问他们∶“既然这样,大卫怎么受圣灵召唤而叫他‘主’呢?大卫说:

44 ‘主(上帝)对我的主说:
坐在我的右边,
直到我把你的敌人置于你的脚下。’ (A)

45 “既然大卫称基督为‘主’,基督又怎么可能是大卫的子孙呢?”

46 没有一个人能回答这个问题。从那天起,再也没有人敢向耶稣提问题了。

Parable of the Marriage Feast

22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, (A)The kingdom of heaven [a]is like [b]a king who [c]held a (B)wedding feast for his son. And he (C)sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come. Again he (D)sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened cattle are all butchered and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’ But they paid no attention and went their separate ways, one to his own [d]farm, another to his business, and the rest seized his slaves and treated them abusively, and then killed them. Now the king was angry, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. Then he *said to his slaves, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. So go to (E)the main roads, and invite whomever you find there to the wedding feast.’ 10 Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good; and the wedding hall was filled with [e]dinner guests.

11 “But when the king came in to look over the [f]dinner guests, he saw (F)a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he *said to him, ‘(G)Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet, and throw him into (H)the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in that place.’ 14 For many are [g](I)called, but few are (J)chosen.”

Poll-tax to Caesar

15 (K)Then the Pharisees went and [h]plotted together how they might trap Him [i]in what He said. 16 And they *sent their disciples to Him, along with the (L)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and [j]do not care what anyone thinks; for You [k]are not partial to anyone. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it [l]permissible to pay a [m](M)poll-tax to (N)Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus perceived their [n]malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the (O)coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a [o]denarius. 20 And He *said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” 21 They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, (P)Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And hearing this, they were amazed; and (Q)they left Him and went away.

Jesus Answers the Sadducees

23 (R)On that day some (S)Sadducees (who say (T)there is no resurrection) came to [p]Jesus and questioned Him, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘(U)If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up [q]children for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us; and the first married and died, and having no [r]children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh. 27 Last of all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage.”

29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, (V)since you do not [s]understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither (W)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: 32 (X)I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 When the crowds heard this, (Y)they were astonished at His teaching.

34 (Z)But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced (AA)the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, [t](AB)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him: 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “‘(AC)You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and [u]foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘(AD)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (AE)Upon these two commandments [v]hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”

41 (AF)Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question: 42 “What do you think about the [w]Christ? Whose son is He?” They *said to Him, “(AG)The son of David.” 43 He *said to them, “Then [x]how does David [y](AH)in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,

44 (AI)The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies under Your feet”’?

45 Therefore, if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ [z]how is He his son?” 46 (AJ)No one was able to offer Him a word in answer, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him any more questions.

王宴客的比喻

22 耶稣又用比喻对他们说: “天国就像一个王为儿子筹备婚宴。 他派奴仆去请受邀的客人,可是客人都不肯赴宴。 王再派其他奴仆去,说,‘去告诉被邀请的人,我的宴席已经备好,公牛和肥畜都宰了,一切都预备妥当,来赴婚宴吧!’ 那些人却毫不理会地走了,一个去种田,一个去做买卖, 其余的竟然抓住王的奴仆,把他们羞辱一番后杀了。 王大怒,派军队去剿灭凶手,烧毁他们的城。

“然后,他对奴仆说,‘婚宴已预备好了,只是被邀请的人不配。 所以你们到街头巷尾,把所有见到的人都请来。’ 10 奴仆到街上把遇到的人都请了来,好人坏人都有,大厅里满了客人。

11 “王出来会见在座的客人,发现有一个人没有穿礼服, 12 就问他,‘朋友,你来这里怎么不穿婚宴的礼服呢?’那人无言以对。 13 王便吩咐侍从,‘把他手脚绑起来丢到外面的黑暗里,让他在那里哀哭切齿。’”

14 耶稣又说:“被邀请的人多,选上的人少。”

以纳税问题刁难耶稣

15 那时,法利赛人出去策划怎样从耶稣的话里找把柄陷害祂。 16 他们派了自己的门徒跟希律党人一同去问耶稣:“老师,我们知道你诚实无伪,按真理传上帝的道,你不徇情面,不以貌取人。 17 那么请告诉我们,纳税给凯撒对不对呢?”

18 耶稣看出了他们的恶意,就说:“你们这些伪君子,为什么试探我呢? 19 拿一个纳税用的钱币来给我看。”他们就拿给祂一个银币。

20 耶稣问他们:“上面刻的是谁的像和名号?”

21 他们说:“凯撒的。”

耶稣说:“那么,属于凯撒的东西应该给凯撒,属于上帝的东西应该给上帝。” 22 他们听了很惊奇,只好离开祂走了。

论复活

23 同一天,不相信死人会复活的撒都该人也来问耶稣, 24 说:“老师,摩西说,‘如果一个人死了,没有儿女,只留下妻子,他的兄弟就当娶嫂嫂,替哥哥传宗接代。’ 25 从前,我们这里有弟兄七人,老大结了婚,没有孩子就死了,把妻子留给了弟弟。 26 二弟、三弟一直到七弟都相继娶了嫂嫂,都没留下孩子。 27 最后,那女人也死了。 28 那么,到复活的时候,她将是谁的妻子呢?因为他们都娶过她。”

29 耶稣说:“你们弄错了。你们不明白圣经,也不知道上帝的能力。 30 因为到复活的时候,人们将不娶也不嫁,就像天上的天使一样。

31 “关于死人复活的事,难道你们没有读过上帝对你们说过的话吗? 32 祂说,‘我是亚伯拉罕的上帝,以撒的上帝,雅各的上帝。’上帝不是死人的上帝,而是活人的上帝。” 33 众人听到祂的教导都很惊奇。

最大的诫命

34 法利赛人听见耶稣使撒都该人无言以对,就聚集在一起。 35 其中有位律法专家试探耶稣说: 36 “老师,请问律法中哪一条诫命最重要呢?”

37 耶稣回答说:“‘你要全心、全情、全意爱主——你的上帝’, 38 这是第一条也是最重要的诫命。 39 第二条也相似,就是‘要爱邻如己’。 40 律法和先知的全部教导都以这两条诫命为基础。”

基督的身份

41 耶稣趁着法利赛人聚在那里,就问他们: 42 “你们对基督有何看法?祂是谁的后裔?”他们答道:“大卫的后裔。”

43 耶稣说:“那么,为什么大卫受圣灵感动,称祂为主呢?大卫曾说,

44 “‘主对我主说,
你坐在我的右边,
等我使你的仇敌伏在你脚下。’

45 既然大卫称基督为主,基督又怎么会是大卫的后裔呢?” 46 没人能回答耶稣的问题。从此再没有人敢用问题来刁难耶稣了。
