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，耶稣在殿里教训百姓，讲福音的时候，祭司长和文士并长老上前来，

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

2 问他说：「你告诉我们，你仗着什么权柄做这些事？给你这权柄的是谁呢？」

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

3 耶稣回答说：「我也要问你们一句话，你们且告诉我。

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

4 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的？是从人间来的呢？」

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

5 他们彼此商议说：「我们若说『从天上来』，他必说：『你们为什么不信他呢？』

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

6 若说『从人间来』，百姓都要用石头打死我们，因为他们信约翰是先知。」

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

7 于是回答说：「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，我仗着什么权柄做这些事。」

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 耶稣就设比喻对百姓说：「有人栽了一个葡萄园，租给园户，就往外国去住了许久。

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 到了时候，打发一个仆人到园户那里去，叫他们把园中当纳的果子交给他；园户竟打了他，叫他空手回去。

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

11 又打发一个仆人去，他们也打了他，并且凌辱他，叫他空手回去。

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

12 又打发第三个仆人去，他们也打伤了他，把他推出去了。

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：『我怎么办呢？我要打发我的爱子去，或者他们尊敬他。』

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 不料，园户看见他，就彼此商量说：『这是承受产业的，我们杀他吧，使产业归于我们！』

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

15 于是把他推出葡萄园外，杀了。这样，葡萄园的主人要怎样处治他们呢？

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 他要来除灭这些园户，将葡萄园转给别人。」听见的人说：「这是万不可的！」

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 耶稣看着他们说：「经上记着： 匠人所弃的石头 已作了房角的头块石头。 这是什么意思呢？

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

18 凡掉在那石头上的，必要跌碎；那石头掉在谁的身上，就要把谁砸得稀烂。」

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 文士和祭司长看出这比喻是指着他们说的，当时就想要下手拿他，只是惧怕百姓。

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 于是窥探耶稣，打发奸细装作好人，要在他的话上得把柄，好将他交在巡抚的政权之下。

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 奸细就问耶稣说：「夫子，我们晓得你所讲所传都是正道，也不取人的外貌，乃是诚诚实实传 神的道。

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

22 我们纳税给凯撒，可以不可以？」

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

23 耶稣看出他们的诡诈，就对他们说：

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

24 「拿一个银钱来给我看。这像和这号是谁的？」他们说：「是凯撒的。」

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

25 耶稣说：「这样，凯撒的物当归给凯撒， 神的物当归给 神。」

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

26 他们当着百姓，在这话上得不着把柄，又希奇他的应对，就闭口无言了。

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

27 撒都该人常说没有复活的事。有几个来问耶稣说：

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 「夫子！摩西为我们写着说：『人若有妻无子就死了，他兄弟当娶他的妻，为哥哥生子立后。』

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

29 有弟兄七人，第一个娶了妻，没有孩子死了；

30 Then the second

30 第二个、第三个也娶过她；

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

31 那七个人都娶过她，没有留下孩子就死了。

32 And last of all, the woman died.

32 后来妇人也死了。

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

33 这样，当复活的时候，她是哪一个的妻子呢？因为他们七个人都娶过她。」

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

34 耶稣说：「这世界的人有娶有嫁；

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 惟有算为配得那世界，与从死里复活的人也不娶也不嫁；

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 因为他们不能再死，和天使一样；既是复活的人，就为 神的儿子。

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 至于死人复活，摩西在荆棘篇上，称主是亚伯拉罕的 神，以撒的 神，雅各的 神，就指示明白了。

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

38 神原不是死人的 神，乃是活人的 神；因为在他那里 ，人都是活的。」

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

39 有几个文士说：「夫子！你说得好。」

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

40 以后他们不敢再问他什么。

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

41 耶稣对他们说：「人怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢？

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

42 诗篇上大卫自己说： 主对我主说： 你坐在我的右边，

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

43 等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳。

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

44 大卫既称他为主，他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢？」

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

45 众百姓听的时候，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 「你们要防备文士。他们好穿长衣游行，喜爱人在街市上问他们安，又喜爱会堂里的高位，筵席上的首座；

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，假意作很长的祷告。这些人要受更重的刑罚！」
