1有一天，耶穌在殿裡教訓百姓，講福音的時候，和並長老上前來，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.
2問他說：「你告訴我們，你甚麼權柄做這些事？給你這權柄的是誰呢？」“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3耶穌回答說：「我也要問你們一句話，你們且告訴我。“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4是從天上來的？是從人間來的呢？」John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
5他們說：「我們若說『從天上來』，他必說：『你們為甚麼不信他呢？』They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6若說『從人間來』，百姓都要用石頭打死我們，因為他們信約翰是先知。」But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7於是回答說：「不知道是從哪裡來的。」So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8耶穌說：「我也不告訴你們，我仗著甚麼權柄做這些事。」And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9耶穌就設比喻對百姓說：「有人栽了一個葡萄園，租給，就往外國去住了許久。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.
10到了時候，打發一個僕人到園戶那裡去，叫他們把園中交給他；園戶竟打了他，叫他空手回去。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.
11又打發一個僕人去，他們也打了他，並且他，叫他空手回去。So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12又打發第三個僕人去，他們也打傷了他，把他推出去了。Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13園主說：『我怎麼辦呢？我要打發我的去，或者他們尊敬他。』‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14不料，園戶看見他，就彼此商量說：『這是承受產業的，我們殺他吧，使產業歸於我們！』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.’
15於是把他推出葡萄園外，殺了。這樣，葡萄園的主人要怎樣他們呢？So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16他要來除滅這些園戶，將葡萄園轉給別人。」聽見的人說：「這是！」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!”
17耶穌看著他們說：「經上記著：匠人所棄的石頭已作了。這是甚麼意思呢？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’?
18凡掉在那石頭上的，必要跌碎；那石頭掉在誰的身上，就要把誰。」Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19文士和祭司長看出這比喻是指著他們說的，當時就想要下手拿他，只是懼怕百姓。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.
20於是窺探耶穌，打發裝作好人，要在他的話上得，好將他交在的政權之下。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.
21奸細就問耶穌說：「夫子，我們曉得你所講所傳都是正道，也，乃是誠誠實實傳 神的道。“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.
22我們納稅給，可以不可以？」Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23耶穌看出他們的，就對他們說：But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24「拿一個來給我看。這像和這號是誰的？」他們說：「是凱撒的。」“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25耶穌說：「這樣，凱撒的物當歸給凱撒， 神的物當歸給 神。」So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26他們當著百姓，在這話上得不著把柄，又希奇他的應對，就閉口無言了。And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27常說沒有復活的事。有幾個來問耶穌說：Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28「夫子！摩西為我們寫著說：『人若有妻無子就死了，他兄弟當娶他的妻，為哥哥生子。』“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.
29有弟兄七人，第一個娶了妻，沒有孩子死了；Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.
30第二個、第三個也娶過她；Then the second
31那七個人都娶過她，沒有留下孩子就死了。and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32後來婦人也死了。And last of all, the woman died.
33這樣，當復活的時候，她是哪一個的妻子呢？因為他們七個人都娶過她。」So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
34耶穌說：「這世界的人有娶有嫁；Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35惟有算為，與從死裡復活的人也不娶也不嫁；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.
36因為他們不能再死，和天使一樣；既是復活的人，就為 神的兒子。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.
37至於死人復活，摩西在上，稱主是亞伯拉罕的 神，以撒的 神，雅各的 神，就指示明白了。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.’
38神原不是死人的 神，乃是活人的 神；因為在他那裡（那裡：或譯看來），人都是活的。」He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39有幾個文士說：「夫子！你說得好。」Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40以後他們不敢再問他甚麼。And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41耶穌對他們說：「人怎麼說基督是大衛的子孫呢？Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42詩篇上大衛自己說：主對我主說：你坐在我的右邊，For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43等我使你仇敵作你的。until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44大衛既稱他為主，他怎麼又是大衛的子孫呢？」Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45眾百姓聽的時候，耶穌對門徒說：In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46「你們要防備文士。他們好穿長衣遊行，喜愛人在街市上問他們安，又喜愛會堂裡的高位，筵席上的；“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.
47他們侵吞寡婦的家產，假意作很長的禱告。這些人要受更重的刑罰！」They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
