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 耶稣就用比喻对他们说：「有人栽了一个葡萄园，周围圈上篱笆，挖了一个压酒池，盖了一座楼，租给园户，就往外国去了。

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

2 到了时候，打发一个仆人到园户那里，要从园户收葡萄园的果子。

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

3 园户拿住他，打了他，叫他空手回去。

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

4 再打发一个仆人到他们那里。他们打伤他的头，并且凌辱他。

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

5 又打发一个仆人去，他们就杀了他。后又打发好些仆人去，有被他们打的，有被他们杀的。

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

6 园主还有一位是他的爱子，末后又打发他去，意思说：『他们必尊敬我的儿子。』

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

7 不料，那些园户彼此说：『这是承受产业的。来吧，我们杀他，产业就归我们了！』

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

8 于是拿住他，杀了他，把他丢在园外。

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

9 这样，葡萄园的主人要怎么办呢？他要来除灭那些园户，将葡萄园转给别人。

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

10 经上写着说： 匠人所弃的石头 已作了房角的头块石头。

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

11 这是主所做的， 在我们眼中看为希奇。 这经你们没有念过吗？」

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 他们看出这比喻是指着他们说的，就想要捉拿他，只是惧怕百姓，于是离开他走了。

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

13 后来，他们打发几个法利赛人和几个希律党的人到耶稣那里，要就着他的话陷害他。

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 他们来了，就对他说：「夫子，我们知道你是诚实的，什么人你都不徇情面；因为你不看人的外貌，乃是诚诚实实传 神的道。纳税给凯撒可以不可以？

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

15 我们该纳不该纳？」耶稣知道他们的假意，就对他们说：「你们为什么试探我？拿一个银钱来给我看！」

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

16 他们就拿了来。耶稣说：「这像和这号是谁的？」他们说：「是凯撒的。」

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：「凯撒的物当归给凯撒， 神的物当归给 神。」他们就很希奇他。

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

18 撒都该人常说没有复活的事。他们来问耶稣说：

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 「夫子，摩西为我们写着说：『人若死了，撇下妻子，没有孩子，他兄弟当娶他的妻，为哥哥生子立后。』

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

20 有弟兄七人，第一个娶了妻，死了，没有留下孩子。

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

21 第二个娶了她，也死了，没有留下孩子。第三个也是这样。

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

22 那七个人都没有留下孩子；末了，那妇人也死了。

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

23 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。」

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：「你们所以错了，岂不是因为不明白圣经，不晓得 神的大能吗？

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

25 人从死里复活，也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一样。

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 论到死人复活，你们没有念过摩西的书荆棘篇上所载的吗？ 神对摩西说：『我是亚伯拉罕的 神，以撒的 神，雅各的 神。』

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

27 神不是死人的 神，乃是活人的 神。你们是大错了。」

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 有一个文士来，听见他们辩论，晓得耶稣回答的好，就问他说：「诫命中哪是第一要紧的呢？」

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

29 耶稣回答说：「第一要紧的就是说：『以色列啊，你要听，主—我们 神是独一的主。

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 你要尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主—你的 神。』

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

31 其次就是说：『要爱人如己。』再没有比这两条诫命更大的了。」

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

32 那文士对耶稣说：「夫子说， 神是一位，实在不错；除了他以外，再没有别的 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 并且尽心、尽智、尽力爱他，又爱人如己，就比一切燔祭和各样祭祀好的多。」

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 耶稣见他回答的有智慧，就对他说：「你离 神的国不远了。」从此以后，没有人敢再问他什么。

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 耶稣在殿里教训人，就问他们说：「文士怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢？

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 大卫被圣灵感动，说： 主对我主说： 你坐在我的右边， 等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳。

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

37 大卫既自己称他为主，他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢？」众人都喜欢听他。

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 耶稣在教训之间，说：「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的安，

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

39 又喜爱会堂里的高位，筵席上的首座。

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，假意作很长的祷告。这些人要受更重的刑罚！」

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 耶稣对银库坐着，看众人怎样投钱入库。有好些财主往里投了若干的钱。

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

42 有一个穷寡妇来，往里投了两个小钱，就是一个大钱。

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，这穷寡妇投入库里的，比众人所投的更多。

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，他们都是自己有余，拿出来投在里头；但这寡妇是自己不足，把她一切养生的都投上了。」
