佃户的比喻(A)

12 耶稣又用比喻对他们说:“有一个人栽种了一个葡萄园,四面围上篱笆,挖了一个压酒池,盖了一座瞭望台,然后租给佃户,就远行去了。 到了时候,园主派了一个仆人到佃户那里,向佃户收取葡萄园一部分的果子。 佃户抓住他,打了他,放他空手回去。 园主再派另外一个仆人到他们那里,他们打伤了他的头,并且侮辱他。 园主又派另一个去,他们就把他杀了。后来又派去许多仆人,有的给他们打了,有的给他们杀了。 还有一个,就是园主的爱子,最后园主派他到那里去,说:‘他们必尊敬我的儿子。’ 那些佃户却彼此说:‘这是继承产业的;来,我们杀了他,产业就是我们的了。’ 于是抓住他,把他杀了,扔在葡萄园外。 这样,葡萄园的主人要怎么办呢?他要来除掉那些佃户,把葡萄园租给别人。 10 你们没有念过这段圣经吗:

‘建筑工人所弃的石头,

成了房角的主要石头;

11 这是主所作的,

在我们眼中看为希奇。’”

12 他们知道他这比喻是针对他们说的,就想要捉拿他,但因为害怕群众,只好离开他走了。

以纳税的事问难耶稣(B)

13 后来,他们派了几个法利赛人和希律党的人到耶稣那里去,要找他的把柄来陷害他。 14 他们来到了,就对他说:“老师,我们知道你为人诚实,不顾忌任何人,因为你不徇情面,只照着真理把 神的道教导人。请问纳税给凯撒可以不可以?我们该纳不该纳呢?” 15 耶稣看出他们的假意,就对他们说:“你们为甚么试探我呢?拿一个银币来给我,让我看看。” 16 他们就拿来了。耶稣问他们:“这是谁的像,谁的名号?”他们回答他:“凯撒的。” 17 耶稣说:“凯撒的应当归给凯撒, 神的应当归给 神。”他们就对他十分惊奇。

人复活后不娶不嫁(C)

18 撒都该人向来认为没有复活的事,他们来到耶稣那里,问他: 19 “老师,摩西曾写给我们说:‘如果一个人死了,留下妻子,没有儿女,他的弟弟就应当娶他的妻子,为哥哥立后。’ 20 从前有兄弟七人,头一个娶了妻子,死了,没有留下孩子; 21 第二个娶了她,也没有留下孩子,就死了;第三个也是这样。 22 那七个人都没有留下孩子,最后那女人也死了。 23 到了复活的时候,他们都要复活,她是哪一个的妻子呢?因为七个人都娶过她。” 24 耶稣对他们说:“你们错了,不正是因为你们不明白圣经,也不晓得 神的能力吗? 25 因为人从死里复活以后,也不娶,也不嫁,而是像天上的天使一样。 26 关于死人复活的事,摩西的经卷中荆棘篇上, 神怎样对他说:‘我是亚伯拉罕的 神,以撒的 神,雅各的 神’,你们没有念过吗? 27 他不是死人的 神,而是活人的 神。你们是大错特错了!”

最重要的诫命(D)

28 有一个经学家,听到他们的辩论,觉得耶稣回答得好,就来问他:“诫命中哪一条是第一重要的呢?” 29 耶稣回答:“第一重要的是:‘以色列啊,你要听!主我们的 神是独一的主。 30 你要全心、全性、全意、全力,爱主你的 神。’ 31 其次是:‘要爱人如己。’再没有别的诫命比这两条更重要的了。” 32 那经学家对耶稣说:“老师,是的,你说的很对, 神是独一的,除了他以外再没有别的 神。 33 我们要用全心、全意、全力去爱他,并且要爱人如己,这就比一切燔祭和各样祭物好得多了。” 34 耶稣见他回答得有智慧,就对他说:“你距离 神的国不远了。”从此再也没有人敢问他了。

大卫称基督为主(E)

35 耶稣在殿里教训人,说:“经学家怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢? 36 大卫自己被圣灵感动却说:

‘主对我的主说:

你坐在我的右边,

等我把你的仇敌放在你的脚下(有些抄本作“等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳”)。’

37 大卫自己既然称他为主,他又怎么会是大卫的子孙呢?”群众都喜欢听他。

耶稣叫人提防经学家(F)

38 耶稣教导人的时候,说:“你们要提防经学家,他们喜欢穿长袍走来走去,喜欢人在市中心向他们问安, 39 又喜欢会堂里的高位,筵席上的首座。 40 他们吞没了寡妇的房产,又假装作冗长的祷告。这些人必受更重的刑罚。”

穷寡妇的奉献(G)

41 耶稣面对银库坐着,看着大家怎样把钱投入库中。许多有钱的人投入很多的钱。 42 后来,有一个穷寡妇来投入了两个小钱,就是一个铜钱。 43 耶稣把门徒叫过来,对他们说:“我实在告诉你们,这穷寡妇投入库里的,比众人投的更多。 44 因为他们都是把自己剩余的投入,这寡妇是自己不足,却把她一切所有的,就是全部养生的,都投进去了。”

兇狠的佃戶

12 耶穌用比喻對他們說:「有人開闢了一個葡萄園,在四周築起籬笆,又在園中挖了一個榨酒池,建了一座瞭望臺,然後把葡萄園租給佃戶,就出遠門了。

「到葡萄成熟時,園主派一個奴僕去收取他該得的一份。 那些佃戶卻捉住那個奴僕,打了他一頓,使他空手而歸。

「園主又差另一個奴僕去。這一次,佃戶不但侮辱他,還把他打得頭破血流。 園主再派一個奴僕前往,他們卻把他殺掉了。園主後來派去的人不是挨打,就是被殺。 最後只剩下園主的愛子,園主就派他去,以為那些佃戶會尊重他的兒子。 這班佃戶卻彼此商量說,『這個就是園主的繼承人。來吧!我們殺掉他,產業就歸我們了。』

「於是他們抓住他,殺了他,把他拋到葡萄園外。 那麼,園主會採取什麼行動呢?他必定會來殺掉這些佃戶,把葡萄園轉給別人。 10 聖經上說,

『工匠丟棄的石頭已成了房角石。
11 這是主的作為,
在我們看來奇妙莫測。』

你們沒有讀過這經文嗎?」

12 他們聽出這比喻是針對他們說的,就想逮捕耶穌,但又害怕百姓,只好先離開了。

納稅給凱撒的問題

13 後來,他們派了幾個法利賽人和希律黨人到耶穌那裡,企圖利用祂所說的話設計陷害祂。

14 他們上前對耶穌說:「老師,我們知道你誠實無偽,不看人的情面,因為你不以貌取人,而是按真理傳上帝的道。那麼,向凱撒納稅對不對呢? 15 我們該不該納呢?」耶穌看破他們的陰謀,就說:「你們為什麼試探我呢?拿一個銀幣來給我看。」

16 他們就拿來一個銀幣,耶穌問他們:「上面刻的是誰的像和名號?」

他們說:「凱撒的。」

17 耶穌說:「屬於凱撒的東西應該給凱撒,屬於上帝的東西應該給上帝。」

他們聽了這話,都很驚奇。

論復活

18 撒都該人向來不相信有復活的事,他們來問耶穌: 19 「老師,摩西為我們寫下律例,如果一個人死了,遺下妻子,又沒有兒女,他的兄弟就當娶嫂嫂,替哥哥傳宗接代。 20 有弟兄七人,老大結了婚,沒有孩子就死了。 21 二弟把大嫂娶過來,也沒有生孩子就死了,三弟也是一樣, 22 七個人都沒有留下孩子。最後,那女人也死了。 23 那麼,到復活的時候,她將是誰的妻子呢?因為七個人都娶過她。」

24 耶穌說:「你們弄錯了,因為你們不明白聖經,也不知道上帝的能力。 25 死人復活之後,將不娶也不嫁,就像天上的天使一樣。 26 關於死人復活的事,你們沒有讀過摩西書有關火中荊棘的記載嗎?上帝對摩西說,『我是亞伯拉罕的上帝,以撒的上帝,雅各的上帝。』 27 上帝不是死人的上帝,而是活人的上帝。你們大錯了!」

最大的誡命

28 有一位律法教師聽到他們的辯論,覺得耶穌的回答很精彩,就走過去問道:「誡命中哪一條最重要呢?」

29 耶穌回答道:「最重要的誡命是,『聽啊,以色列!主——我們的上帝是獨一的主。 30 你要全心、全情、全意、全力愛主——你的上帝』; 31 其次就是『要愛鄰如己』。再也沒有任何誡命比這兩條更重要了。」

32 那位律法教師說:「老師,你說得對,上帝只有一位,除祂以外,別無他神。 33 我們要全心、全意、全力愛祂,又要愛鄰如己。這樣做比獻什麼祭都好。」

34 耶穌見他答得很有智慧,就告訴他:「你離上帝的國不遠了。」此後,沒人再敢問耶穌問題了。

基督的身分

35 耶穌在聖殿裡教導的時候,問道:「律法教師為什麼說基督是大衛的後裔呢? 36 大衛自己曾經受聖靈的感動,說,

『主對我主說,
你坐在我的右邊,
等我使你的仇敵伏在你腳下。』

37 既然大衛自己稱基督為主,基督又怎能是大衛的後裔呢?」百姓聽得津津有味。 38 耶穌又教導他們,說:「你們要提防律法教師,他們愛穿著長袍招搖過市,喜歡人們在大街上問候他們, 39 又喜歡會堂裡的上座和宴席中的首位。 40 他們侵吞寡婦的財產,還假意做冗長的禱告。這種人必受到更嚴厲的懲罰。」

窮寡婦的奉獻

41 然後,耶穌走到聖殿的奉獻箱對面坐下,看大家怎樣奉獻。很多財主奉獻了大量的錢。 42 後來一個窮寡婦來了,投進了相當於一文錢的兩個小銅錢。 43 耶穌叫門徒來,說:「我實在告訴你們,這位窮寡婦比其他人奉獻的都多, 44 因為他們不過奉獻了自己剩餘的,但這窮寡婦卻奉獻了她賴以為生的。」

The Parable of the Tenants

12 (A)And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted (B)a vineyard (C)and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and (D)leased it to tenants and (E)went into another country. When the season came, he sent a servant[a] to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. (F)And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. (G)Again (H)he sent to them another servant, and (I)they struck him on the head and (J)treated him shamefully. (K)And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. He had still one other, (L)a beloved son. (M)Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those tenants said to one another, (N)‘This is the heir. Come, (O)let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ And they took him and killed him and (P)threw him out of the vineyard. What will the owner of the vineyard do? (Q)He will (R)come and destroy the tenants and (S)give the vineyard to others. 10 (T)Have you not read (U)this Scripture:

(V)“‘The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;[b]
11 this was the Lord's doing,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12 And (W)they were seeking to arrest him (X)but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they (Y)left him and went away.

Paying Taxes to Caesar

13 (Z)And they sent to him some of (AA)the Pharisees and some of (AB)the Herodians, to (AC)trap him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, “Teacher, (AD)we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For (AE)you are not swayed by appearances,[c] but truly teach (AF)the way of God. Is it lawful to pay (AG)taxes to (AH)Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” 15 But, knowing (AI)their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why (AJ)put me to the test? Bring me (AK)a denarius[d] and let me look at it.” 16 And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar's.” 17 Jesus said to them, (AL)“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him.

The Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

18 And (AM)Sadducees came to him, (AN)who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that (AO)if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man[e] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22 And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”

24 Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because (AP)you know neither the Scriptures nor (AQ)the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither (AR)marry nor (AS)are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 And as for the dead being raised, (AT)have you not read in (AU)the book of Moses, in (AV)the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, (AW)‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.”

The Great Commandment

28 (AX)And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, (AY)‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, (AZ)the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 (BA)The second is this: (BB)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment (BC)greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that (BD)he is one, and (BE)there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the heart and with all (BF)the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, (BG)is much more than all (BH)whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” (BI)And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Whose Son Is the Christ?

35 (BJ)And as (BK)Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that (BL)the Christ is the son of David? 36 David himself, (BM)in the Holy Spirit, declared,

(BN)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
    until I put your enemies (BO)under your feet.”’

37 David himself calls him Lord. So (BP)how is he his son?” And the great throng (BQ)heard him gladly.

Beware of the Scribes

38 (BR)And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39 and have the best seats in the synagogues and (BS)the places of honor at feasts, 40 (BT)who devour widows' houses and (BU)for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”

The Widow's Offering

41 (BV)And he sat down opposite (BW)the treasury and watched the people (BX)putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two (BY)small copper coins, which make a penny.[f] 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, (BZ)this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her (CA)poverty has put in everything she had, all (CB)she had to live on.”
