Luke 20

1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

1 有一天，耶稣正在圣殿里教导人、传讲福音，祭司长、律法教师和长老上前来，

2 “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

2 质问祂：“告诉我们，你凭什么权柄做这些事？谁授权给你了？”

3 “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

3 耶稣回答说：“我也问你们一个问题。你们告诉我，

4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

4 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的，还是从人间来的？”

5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

5 他们彼此议论说：“如果我们说‘是从天上来的’，祂一定会问，‘那你们为什么不信他？’

6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

6 如果我们说‘是从人间来的’，百姓会拿石头打死我们，因为他们相信约翰是先知。”

7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

7 于是，他们回答说：“我们不知道是从哪里来的。”

8 And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

8 耶稣说：“我也不告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。”

9 Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

9 接着耶稣对众人讲了个比喻：“有人开垦了一个葡萄园，把园子租给佃户，就出远门了。

10 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

10 到了收获的季节，他派奴仆去葡萄园向佃户收取他的那份果实，佃户却把奴仆打了一顿，使他空手而归。

11 So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

11 园主又派另一个奴仆去，他们照样将他殴打并羞辱一番，使他空手而归。

12 Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

12 园主又派第三个奴仆去，他们又把他打伤，抛在园外。

13 ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

13 “园主说，‘我该怎样办呢？不如叫我所疼爱的儿子去吧。他们大概会尊重他。’

14 But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

14 “可是那些佃户看见园主的儿子，就彼此商量说，‘这是产业继承人，我们杀掉他，产业就归我们了！’

15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

15 于是他们把园主的儿子扔到葡萄园外杀了。 “那么，园主会怎样处置他们呢？

16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

16 他必来杀掉这些佃户，把葡萄园租给别人。” 众人听了就说：“但愿这种事永远不会发生！”

17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

17 耶稣定睛看着他们，问道：“那么，圣经上说， “‘工匠丢弃的石头已成了房角石’ ， 这句话是什么意思呢？

18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

18 凡跌在这石头上的人，都会粉身碎骨；这石头落在谁身上，会把谁砸烂。”

19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

19 律法教师和祭司长听出这比喻是针对他们说的，便想立刻下手捉拿耶稣，但又害怕百姓。

20 So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

20 于是，他们严密监视耶稣，又派遣密探假装好人，想从祂的话里找把柄，好把祂交给总督处置。

21 “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

21 那些密探问耶稣：“老师，我们知道你所讲所传的道都是正确的，也知道你不徇情面，而是按真理传上帝的道。

22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

22 那么，我们向凯撒纳税对不对呢？”

23 But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

23 耶稣看破他们的阴谋，

24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

24 就叫他们拿一个银币来，问他们：“上面刻的是谁的像和名号？”他们说：“凯撒的。”

25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

25 耶稣说：“属于凯撒的，要给凯撒；属于上帝的，要给上帝。”

26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

26 耶稣的回答令他们惊奇，他们无法当众找到把柄，只好闭口不言。

27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

27 撒督该人向来不相信有复活的事。有几个这一派的人来问耶稣：

28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

28 “老师，按摩西为我们写的律例，如果有人娶妻后没有孩子就死了，他的兄弟当娶嫂嫂，替哥哥传宗接代。

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

29 有弟兄七人，老大结了婚，没有孩子就死了。

30 Then the second

30 二弟、

31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

31 三弟、一直到七弟都相继娶了嫂嫂，都没有留下孩子就死了。

32 And last of all, the woman died.

32 最后那女人也死了。

33 So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

33 那么，到复活的时候，她将是谁的妻子呢？因为七个人都娶过她。”

34 Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

34 耶稣说：“今世的人才有嫁娶，

35 But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

35 但那些配得将来的世界、从死里复活的人不娶也不嫁，

36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

36 就像天使一样永远不会死。他们既然从死里复活，就是上帝的儿女。

37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

37 在火中荆棘的记载中，摩西也证实死人会复活，因为他称主是‘亚伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝’ 。

38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

38 上帝不是死人的上帝，而是活人的上帝。因为在祂那里的人都是活人。”

39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

39 几位律法教师说：“老师答得好！”

40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.

40 此后，再没人敢用问题刁难耶稣。

41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

41 耶稣问他们：“人怎么说基督是大卫的后裔呢？

42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

42 大卫自己曾在诗篇里说， “‘主对我主说， 你坐在我的右边，

43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

43 等我使你的仇敌成为你的脚凳。’

44 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

44 既然大卫称基督为主，基督又怎么会是大卫的后裔呢？”

45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

45 大家正听的时候，耶稣对门徒说：

46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

46 “你们要提防律法教师。他们爱穿着长袍招摇过市，喜欢人们在大街上问候他们，又喜欢会堂里的上座和宴席中的首位。

47 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

47 他们侵吞寡妇的家产，还假意做冗长的祷告。这种人必受到更严厉的惩罚！”
