Mark 12

1 Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

1 耶稣用比喻对他们说：“有人开垦了一个葡萄园，在四周围上篱笆，又在园中挖了一个榨酒池，建了一座瞭望台，然后把葡萄园租给佃户，就出远门了。

2 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

2 “到了收获的季节，园主派奴仆去佃户那里收取他的那份果实。

3 But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

3 佃户却抓住奴仆，打了他一顿，使他空手而归。

4 Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

4 “园主又派另一个奴仆去。这一次，佃户不但把他打得头破血流，还侮辱他。

5 He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

5 园主再派一个奴仆前往，他们却把他杀掉了。园主后来派去的人不是挨打，就是被杀。

6 Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

6 最后只剩下园主的爱子，园主就派他去，以为那些佃户会尊重他的儿子。

7 But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

7 可是佃户却彼此商量说，‘这是产业继承人。来吧！我们杀掉他，产业就归我们了。’

8 So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

8 “于是他们抓住他，杀了他，把他扔到葡萄园外。

9 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

9 那么，园主会怎么做？他必来杀掉这些佃户，把葡萄园租给别人。

10 Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

10 圣经上说， “‘工匠丢弃的石头已成了房角石。

11 This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

11 这是主的作为， 在我们看来奇妙莫测。’ 你们没有读过这段经文吗？”

12 At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

12 他们听出这比喻是针对他们说的，就想逮捕耶稣，但又害怕百姓，只好离开了。

13 Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

13 后来，他们派了几个法利赛人和希律党人到耶稣那里，企图利用祂所说的话设计陷害祂。

14 “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

14 他们上前对耶稣说：“老师，我们知道你诚实无伪，不徇情面，因为你不以貌取人，而是按真理传上帝的道。那么，向凯撒纳税对不对呢？

15 But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

15 我们该不该纳呢？”耶稣看破他们的阴谋，就说：“你们为什么试探我呢？拿一个银币来给我看。”

16 So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

16 他们就拿来一个银币，耶稣问他们：“上面刻的是谁的像和名号？” 他们说：“凯撒的。”

17 Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

17 耶稣说：“属于凯撒的东西应该给凯撒，属于上帝的东西应该给上帝。” 他们听了这话，都很惊奇。

18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

18 撒都该人向来不相信有复活的事，他们来问耶稣：

19 “Teacher, 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.

19 “老师，摩西为我们写下律例，如果一个人死了，留下妻子，又没有儿女，他的兄弟就当娶嫂嫂，替哥哥传宗接代。

20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

20 有弟兄七人，老大结了婚，没有孩子就死了。

21 Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

21 二弟把大嫂娶过来，也没有生孩子就死了，三弟也是一样，

22 In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

22 七个人都没有留下孩子。最后，那女人也死了。

23 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

23 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。”

24 Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

24 耶稣说：“你们弄错了，因为你们不明白圣经，也不知道上帝的能力。

25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

25 死人复活之后，不娶也不嫁，就像天上的天使一样。

26 But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

26 关于死人复活的事，你们没有读过摩西书有关火中荆棘的记载吗？上帝对摩西说，‘我是亚伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝。’

27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

27 上帝不是死人的上帝，而是活人的上帝。你们大错了！”

28 Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

28 有一位律法教师听到他们的辩论，觉得耶稣的回答很精彩，就走过去问道：“诫命中哪一条最重要呢？”

29 Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

29 耶稣回答道：“最重要的诫命是，‘听啊，以色列！主——我们的上帝是独一的主。

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

30 你要全心、全情、全意、全力爱主你的上帝’ ；

31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

31 其次就是‘要爱邻如己’ 。再也没有任何诫命比这两条更重要了。”

32 “Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

32 那位律法教师说：“老师，你说的对，上帝只有一位，除祂以外，别无他神。

33 and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

33 我们要全心、全意、全力爱祂，又要爱邻如己。这比一切燔祭等祭物都好。”

34 When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

34 耶稣见他答得很有智慧，就告诉他：“你离上帝的国不远了。”此后，再没人敢用问题刁难耶稣。

35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

35 耶稣在圣殿里教导的时候，问道：“律法教师怎么说基督是大卫的后裔呢？

36 Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

36 大卫自己曾经受圣灵的感动，说， “‘主对我主说， 你坐在我的右边， 等我把你的仇敌放在你脚下。’

37 David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

37 既然大卫自己称基督为主，基督又怎么会是大卫的后裔呢？”百姓听得津津有味。

38 In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

38 耶稣又教导他们，说：“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，

39 and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

39 又喜欢会堂里的上座和宴席中的首位。

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

40 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。”

41 As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

41 然后，耶稣在圣殿的奉献箱对面坐下，看众人怎样奉献。很多财主奉献了大量的钱。

42 Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

42 后来一个穷寡妇来了，投进了相当于一文钱的两个小铜钱。

43 Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

43 耶稣叫门徒来，说：“我实在告诉你们，这位穷寡妇比其他人奉献的都多，

44 For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

44 因为他们不过奉献了自己富余的，但这穷寡妇奉献了她赖以为生的一切。”
