马可福音 12
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
葡萄园主的比喻
12 耶稣开始用比喻对他们说：“有一个人栽种了一个葡萄园，四面围上篱笆，挖了一个榨酒池，盖了一座守望楼，然后把葡萄园租给一些农夫，就出外旅行。 2 到了收获的[a]季节，他就派了一个奴仆到那些农夫那里去，好从他们收取葡萄园的果子。 3 但他们抓住那奴仆，打了他，叫他空手回去。 4 园主又派另一个奴仆到他们那里去。那些农夫[b]打伤了他的头，并且侮辱他[c]。 5 园主再派另一个去，他们把他杀了。另派了许多去，有的被打，有的被杀。
6 “那园主还有一位——是他的爱子。最后他差派儿子到他们那里，说：‘他们一定会尊重我的儿子。’
7 “可是那些农夫彼此说：‘这是继承人。来，我们把他杀了，那继业就归我们了。’ 8 于是他们抓住他，把他杀了，并扔出葡萄园外。
9 “那么，葡萄园的主人会做什么呢？他会来除灭那些农夫，把葡萄园交给别人。 10 你们难道也没有读过这段经文吗？
‘工匠所弃绝的石头，
它已经成了房角的头块石头；
11 这是主所成就的，
在我们眼中实在奇妙！’[d]”
12 祭司长们、律法师们和长老们知道这比喻是针对他们而说的，就想拘捕耶稣。可是他们怕民众，于是离开耶稣走了。
神与凯撒
13 后来，他们派了一些法利赛人和希律党的人到耶稣那里，要找话柄来陷害他。 14 那些人来对耶稣说：“老师，我们知道你是真诚的。你不顾忌任何人，因为你不看人的情面，而是按真理教导神的道[e]。请问，向凯撒纳税，可以不可以呢？我们该交还是不该交呢？”
15 耶稣看出他们的假意，就对他们说：“你们为什么试探我呢？拿一个银币[f]来给我看。” 16 他们就拿来了。耶稣问他们：“这是谁的像和名号？”
他们回答说：“是凯撒的。”
17 耶稣对他们说：“凯撒的归给凯撒；神的归给神。”这使他们感到惊奇。
撒都该人与复活
18 接着，撒都该人来到耶稣那里，他们一向说没有复活的事。他们问耶稣，说： 19 “老师，摩西为我们写道：如果一个人的兄弟死了，撇下妻子而没有留下孩子，他就应该娶这妇人，为兄弟留后裔。[g] 20 曾经有兄弟七人，第一个娶了妻子，死去了，没有留下后裔。 21 第二个娶了这寡妇，也死了，没有留下后裔。第三个也一样。 22 结果，兄弟七个都[h]没有留下后裔。到了最后，这妇人也死了。 23 既然这七个人都娶过她为妻，在复活的时候，当他们复活了[i]，她将是谁的妻子呢？”
24 耶稣说：“你们之所以错了，不就是因为你们不明白经上的话，也不明白神的大能吗？ 25 当人从死人中复活以后，他们既不娶也不嫁，而是像诸天之上的天使一样。 26 关于死人复活的事，你们难道没有读过摩西书‘荆棘篇’上，神怎样对摩西说的吗？神说‘我是亚伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神。’[j] 27 神不是死人的神，而是活人的神[k]。你们完全错了！”
最重要的诫命
28 有一个经文士前来，听见他们辩论，见耶稣回答得好，就问耶稣：“所有的诫命中，哪一条是最重要的呢？”
29 耶稣回答：“[l]最重要的是：
31 “其次就是‘要爱邻如己。’[p]没有别的诫命比这两条更大的了。”
32 那经文士就对耶稣说：“不错，老师，你真的讲了：神只有一位，除他以外没有别的神。 33 以全心、全智、[q]全力来爱神，并且要爱邻如己，这是比所有的燔祭和各种祭祀都重要的。”
34 耶稣见他回答得有智慧，就对他说：“你离神的国不远了。”于是，没有人敢再质问耶稣了。
有关基督的问题
35 耶稣在圣殿里教导人的时候问：“经文士们怎么说基督是大卫的后裔呢？ 36 大卫藉着圣灵，自己说过：
37 大卫自己称基督为‘主’，基督又怎么会是大卫的后裔呢？”那一大群人都乐意听耶稣讲说。
要防备经文士
38 耶稣在他的教导中说：“你们要当心经文士们。他们喜欢穿着长袍走来走去，喜欢街市上的致敬问候， 39 又喜欢会堂里的首位、宴席中的上座。 40 他们侵吞寡妇的家产，又假意做很长的祷告。这些人将受到更重的惩罚[t]。”
寡妇的奉献
41 耶稣面对奉献箱坐着，看众人怎样把钱投入奉献箱里。许多富有的人投进了很多钱。 42 有一个穷寡妇来，投进两个小钱[u]，值一个铜币[v]。 43 耶稣把他的门徒们召来，对他们说：“我确实地告诉你们：这穷寡妇所投入奉献箱的，比所有的人投的更多。 44 因为大家是从自己的富余中拿出来投进去；而这寡妇是从自己的缺乏中，把她所拥有的一切，就是她全部的养生费用都投进去了。”

Mark 12
King James Version
12 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

God Sends His Son
12 Jesus used stories to teach the people. He said, “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it and dug a hole for a winepress. Then he built a tower. He leased the vineyard to some farmers and left for a trip. 2 Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked. So the man sent a servant to the farmers to get his share of the grapes. 3 But the farmers grabbed the servant and beat him. They sent him away with nothing. 4 Then the man sent another servant. They hit him on the head and showed no respect for him. 5 So the man sent another servant. They killed this servant. The man sent many other servants. The farmers beat some of them and killed others.
6 “The man had one person left to send, his son whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘The farmers will respect my son.’
7 “But they said to each other, ‘This is the owner’s son. This vineyard will be his. If we kill him, then it will be ours.’ 8 So they took the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “So what will the man who owns the vineyard do? He will go to the vineyard and kill those farmers. Then he will give the vineyard to other farmers. 10 Surely you have read this Scripture:
‘The stone that the builders did not want
became the cornerstone.
11 The Lord did this,
and it is wonderful to us.’” Psalm 118:22-23
12 The Jewish leaders knew that the story was about them. So they wanted to find a way to arrest Jesus, but they were afraid of the people. So the leaders left him and went away.
The Leaders Try to Trap Jesus
13 Later, the Jewish leaders sent some Pharisees and some men from the group called Herodians[a] to Jesus. They wanted to catch Jesus saying something wrong. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man. You are not afraid of what other people think about you. All men are the same to you. And you teach the truth about God’s way. Tell us: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar? Should we pay them, or not?”
15 But Jesus knew what these men were really trying to do. He said, “Why are you trying to trap me? Bring me a silver coin. Let me see it.” 16 They gave Jesus a coin, and he asked, “Whose picture is on the coin? And whose name is written on it?”
They answered, “Caesar’s.”
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. And give to God the things that are God’s.” The men were amazed at what Jesus said.
Sadducees Try to Trick Jesus
18 Then some Sadducees came to Jesus. (Sadducees believe that no person will rise from death.) The Sadducees asked Jesus a question. 19 They said, “Teacher, Moses wrote that a man’s brother might die. He leaves a wife but no children. Then that man must marry the widow and have children for the dead brother. 20 There were seven brothers. The first brother married but died. He had no children. 21 So the second brother married the widow. But he also died and had no children. The same thing happened with the third brother. 22 All seven brothers married her and died. None of the brothers had any children. The woman was last to die. 23 But all seven brothers had married her. So at the time people rise from death, whose wife will the woman be?”
24 Jesus answered, “Why did you make this mistake? Is it because you don’t know what the Scriptures say? Or is it because you don’t know about the power of God? 25 When people rise from death, there will be no marriage. People will not be married to each other but will be like angels in heaven. 26 Surely you have read what God said about people rising from death. In the book in which Moses wrote about the burning bush,[b] it says that God told Moses this: ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[c] 27 God is the God of living people, not dead people. You Sadducees are wrong!”
The Most Important Command
28 One of the teachers of the law came to Jesus. He heard Jesus arguing with the Sadducees and the Pharisees. He saw that Jesus gave good answers to their questions. So he asked Jesus, “Which of the commands is most important?”
29 Jesus answered, “The most important command is this: ‘Listen, people of Israel! The Lord our God, he is the only Lord. 30 Love the Lord your God. Love him with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’[d] 31 The second most important command is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’[e] These two commands are the most important commands.”
32 The man answered, “That was a good answer, Teacher. You were right when you said these things. God is the only Lord, and there is no other God besides him. 33 One must love God with all his heart, all his mind, and all his strength. And one must love his neighbor as he loves himself. These commands are more important than all the animals and sacrifices we offer to God.”
34 Jesus saw that the man answered him wisely. So Jesus said to him, “You are close to the kingdom of God.” And after that, no one was brave enough to ask Jesus any more questions.
35 Jesus was teaching in the Temple. He asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Christ is the son of David? 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, said:
‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit by me at my right side,
until I put your enemies under your control.’ Psalm 110:1
37 David himself calls the Christ ‘Lord.’ So how can the Christ be David’s son?” The large crowd listened to Jesus with pleasure.
38 Jesus continued teaching. He said, “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around wearing clothes that look important. And they love for people to show respect to them in the marketplaces. 39 They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues. And they love to have the most important seats at the feasts. 40 They cheat widows and steal their homes. Then they try to make themselves look good by saying long prayers. God will punish these people terribly.”
True Giving
41 Jesus sat near the Temple money box where people put their gifts. He watched the people put in their money. Many rich people gave large sums of money. 42 Then a poor widow came and gave two very small copper coins. These coins were not worth even a penny.
43 Jesus called his followers to him. He said, “I tell you the truth. This poor widow gave only two small coins. But she really gave more than all those rich people. 44 The rich have plenty; they gave only what they did not need. This woman is very poor. But she gave all she had. And she needed that money to help her live.”
