1 He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country. 2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty. 4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. 5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some. 6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
was made the head of the corner.
11 This was from the Lord.
It is marvelous in our eyes’?"
12 They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away. 13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words. 14 When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?"
But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it."
16 They brought it.
He said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"
They said to him, "Caesar’s."
17 Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s."
They marveled greatly at him.
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying, 19 "Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring. 21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise; 22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife."
24 Jesus answered them, "Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."
28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the greatest of all?"
29 Jesus answered, "The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."
32 The scribe said to him, "Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he; 33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from God’s Kingdom."
No one dared ask him any question after that. 35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? 36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
"Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."’
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?"
The common people heard him gladly. 38 In his teaching he said to them, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces, 39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts, 40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much. 42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin. 43 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury, 44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."
1 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。
2 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。
3 佃户抓住他， 打了他， 放他空手回去。
4 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。
5 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。
6 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。’
7 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。’
8 于是抓住他， 把他杀了， 扔在葡萄园外。
9 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。
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： "你们为什么试探我呢？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。
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！ "
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。
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。
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。"
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。"
