婚宴的比喻
22 耶穌又用比喻對他們說: 2 「天國好比一個君王,為自己的兒子預備婚宴。 3 他派了奴僕們去叫那些被邀請的人前來赴宴,可是他們不肯來。 4 王又派了別的奴僕,說:『你們去對那些被邀請的人說,看哪,我的午餐我已經預備好了,公牛和肥畜已經宰殺了,一切都預備好了,請你們來赴婚宴。』
5 「但那些人不理,就走開了,有的到自己的田裡去,有的做自己的生意去。 6 其餘的竟抓住王的奴僕們,凌辱他們,並且把他們殺了。 7 王[a]就發怒,派軍兵除滅那些凶手,燒毀了他們的城。
8 「然後對奴僕們說:『婚宴預備好了,但那些被邀請的人不配。 9 所以你們要到大街小巷去,把所見到的人都請來赴宴。』 10 那些奴僕就出去,到大街上,把所見到的,無論好人壞人都召集起來,婚宴上就坐滿了賓客。 11 王進來會見賓客,發現有一個人沒有穿婚宴的禮服, 12 就對他說:『朋友,你進到這裡來怎麼沒有穿婚宴的禮服呢?』那個人啞口無言。
13 「於是王吩咐僕人們:『把他的手腳捆起來,[b]丟到外面的黑暗裡去!在那裡將有哀哭和切齒。』
14 「要知道,蒙召喚的人多,而蒙揀選的人少。」
神與凱撒
15 法利賽人就去商議,怎樣找耶穌的話柄來陷害他。 16 他們派了自己的門徒們與希律黨的人一同去見耶穌,說:「老師,我們知道你是真誠的,並且按真理教導神的道[c]。你不顧忌任何人,因為你不看人的情面。 17 請告訴我們,你認為向凱撒納稅,可以不可以呢?」
18 耶穌看出他們的惡意,就說:「你們這些偽善的人!為什麼試探我呢? 19 拿一個納稅的錢幣給我看。」他們就拿來了一個銀幣[d]給他。 20 耶穌問他們:「這是誰的像和名號?」
21 他們回答說:「是凱撒的。」
耶穌對他們說:「那麼,凱撒的歸給凱撒;神的歸給神。」 22 他們聽了,感到驚奇,就離開耶穌走了。
撒都該人與復活
23 在那一天,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, 24 說:「老師,摩西說:如果一個人死了,沒有兒女,他的一個兄弟就要娶他的妻子,為他兄弟留後裔。[e] 25 我們這裡曾經有兄弟七人,第一個結了婚,死了,沒有後裔,留下妻子給他的一個兄弟。 26 第二個、第三個、一直到第七個,都是如此。 27 到了最後,這婦人也死了。 28 既然他們都娶過她,那麼,在復活的時候,她將是這七個人中哪一個的妻子呢?」
29 耶穌回答說:「你們錯了,因為你們不明白經上的話,也不明白神的大能。 30 復活的時候,人既不娶也不嫁,而是像天上的[f]天使一樣。 31 關於死人復活的事,你們難道沒有讀過神對你們所說的話嗎?神說 32 『我是亞伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神。』[g]神不是死人的神,而是活人的神。」
33 眾人聽了這話,對他的教導驚嘆不已。
最大的誡命
34 法利賽人聽說耶穌使撒都該人啞口無言,就聚集在一起。 35 他們當中有一個是律法師,[h]來試探耶穌,問他: 36 「老師,律法中最大的誡命是哪一條呢?」
37 耶穌對他說:「『你要以全心、全靈、全意愛主——你的神』[i], 38 這是最大的,也是最重要的誡命。 39 其次的也和它類似,『要愛鄰如己。』[j] 40 全部律法和先知書都是以這兩條誡命為依據的。」
有關基督的問題
41 法利賽人聚集在一起的時候,耶穌問他們 42 說:「關於基督,你們怎麼看?他是誰的後裔呢?」
他們說:「是大衛的後裔。」
43 耶穌問他們:「那麼,大衛藉著聖靈,怎麼還稱他為『主』呢?大衛說:
45 「因此,大衛如果稱基督為『主』,基督怎麼會是大衛的後裔呢?」 46 沒有人能回答他一句話。從那天起,再也沒有人敢質問耶穌了。

Modern English Version
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(A)
22 Jesus spoke to them again by parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding, but they would not come.
4 “Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited: See, I have prepared my supper. My oxen and fattened calves are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his business; 6 the rest took his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7 When the king heard about it, he was angry. He sent in his army and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the streets, and invite to the wedding banquet as many as you find.’ 10 So those servants went out into the streets and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who was not wearing wedding garments. 12 He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding garments?’ And he was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The Question of Paying Taxes(B)
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel to entangle Him in His words. 16 They sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God truthfully, and are swayed by no one. For You do not regard the person of men. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, “Why test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.” They brought Him a denarius. 20 He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
Then He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 When they heard these words, they were amazed, and left Him and went on their way.
The Question About the Resurrection(C)
23 The same day the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry his wife and raise up children for his brother.’[a] 25 Now there were seven brothers with us. The first died after he married and, having no children, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second and third, on to the seventh. 27 Last of all, the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 Jesus answered, “You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[b]? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
The Great Commandment(D)
34 When the Pharisees heard that He silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35 One of them, who was a lawyer, tested Him by asking Him, 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’[d] 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
The Question About David’s Son(E)
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think of the Christ? Whose Son is He?”
They said to Him, “The Son of David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
until I make Your enemies
Your footstool” ’?[e]
45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” 46 No one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare to ask Him any more questions.

王宴客的比喻
22 耶穌又用比喻對他們說: 2 「天國就像一個王為兒子籌備婚宴。 3 他派奴僕去請受邀的客人,可是客人都不肯赴宴。 4 王再派其他奴僕去,說,『去告訴被邀請的人,我的宴席已經備好,公牛和肥畜都宰了,一切都預備妥當,來赴婚宴吧!』 5 那些人卻毫不理會地走了,一個去種田,一個去做買賣, 6 其餘的竟然抓住王的奴僕,把他們羞辱一番後殺了。 7 王大怒,派軍隊去剿滅凶手,燒毀他們的城。
8 「然後,他對奴僕說,『婚宴已預備好了,只是被邀請的人不配。 9 所以你們到街頭巷尾,把所有見到的人都請來。』 10 奴僕到街上把遇到的人都請了來,好人壞人都有,大廳裡滿了客人。
11 「王出來會見在座的客人,發現有一個人沒有穿禮服, 12 就問他,『朋友,你來這裡怎麼不穿婚宴的禮服呢?』那人無言以對。 13 王便吩咐侍從,『把他手腳綁起來丟到外面的黑暗裡,讓他在那裡哀哭切齒。』」
14 耶穌又說:「被邀請的人多,選上的人少。」
以納稅問題刁難耶穌
15 那時,法利賽人出去策劃怎樣從耶穌的話裡找把柄陷害祂。 16 他們派了自己的門徒跟希律黨人一同去問耶穌:「老師,我們知道你誠實無偽,按真理傳上帝的道,你不徇情面,不以貌取人。 17 那麼請告訴我們,納稅給凱撒對不對呢?」
18 耶穌看出了他們的惡意,就說:「你們這些偽君子,為什麼試探我呢? 19 拿一個納稅用的錢幣來給我看。」他們就拿給祂一個銀幣。
20 耶穌問他們:「上面刻的是誰的像和名號?」
21 他們說:「凱撒的。」
耶穌說:「那麼,屬於凱撒的東西應該給凱撒,屬於上帝的東西應該給上帝。」 22 他們聽了很驚奇,只好離開祂走了。
論復活
23 同一天,不相信死人會復活的撒都該人也來問耶穌, 24 說:「老師,摩西說,『如果一個人死了,沒有兒女,只留下妻子,他的兄弟就當娶嫂嫂,替哥哥傳宗接代。』 25 從前,我們這裡有弟兄七人,老大結了婚,沒有孩子就死了,把妻子留給了弟弟。 26 二弟、三弟一直到七弟都相繼娶了嫂嫂,都沒留下孩子。 27 最後,那女人也死了。 28 那麼,到復活的時候,她將是誰的妻子呢?因為他們都娶過她。」
29 耶穌說:「你們弄錯了。你們不明白聖經,也不知道上帝的能力。 30 因為到復活的時候,人們將不娶也不嫁,就像天上的天使一樣。
31 「關於死人復活的事,難道你們沒有讀過上帝對你們說過的話嗎? 32 祂說,『我是亞伯拉罕的上帝,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 眾人聽到祂的教導都很驚奇。
最大的誡命
34 法利賽人聽見耶穌使撒都該人無言以對,就聚集在一起。 35 其中有位律法專家試探耶穌說: 36 「老師,請問律法中哪一條誡命最重要呢?」
37 耶穌回答說:「『你要全心、全情、全意愛主——你的上帝』, 38 這是第一條也是最重要的誡命。 39 第二條也相似,就是『要愛鄰如己』。 40 律法和先知的全部教導都以這兩條誡命為基礎。」
基督的身分
41 耶穌趁著法利賽人聚在那裡,就問他們: 42 「你們對基督有何看法?祂是誰的後裔?」他們答道:「大衛的後裔。」
43 耶穌說:「那麼,為什麼大衛受聖靈感動,稱祂為主呢?大衛曾說,
44 『主對我主說,
你坐在我的右邊,
等我使你的仇敵伏在你腳下。』
45 既然大衛稱基督為主,基督又怎麼會是大衛的後裔呢?」 46 沒人能回答耶穌的問題。從此再沒有人敢用問題來刁難耶穌了。
