路加福音 20

質問耶穌的權柄

（太21‧23－27；可11‧27－33）

1 有一天，耶穌在殿裏教訓百姓，講福音的時候，祭司長和文士並長老上前來， 2 問他說：「你告訴我們，你仗著甚麼權柄做這些事？給你這權柄的是誰呢？」 3 耶穌回答說：「我也要問你們一句話，你們且告訴我。 4 約翰的洗禮是從天上來的？是從人間來的呢？」 5 他們彼此商議說：「我們若說『從天上來』，他必說：『你們為甚麼不信他呢？』 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。」 7 於是回答說：「不知道是從哪裏來的。」 8 耶穌說：「我也不告訴你們，我仗著甚麼權柄做這些事。」

凶惡園戶的比喻

（太21‧33－46；可12‧1－12）

9 耶穌就設比喻對百姓說：「有人栽了一個葡萄園，租給園戶，就往外國去住了許久。 10 到了時候，打發一個僕人到園戶那裏去，叫他們把園中當納的果子交給他；園戶竟打了他，叫他空手回去。 11 又打發一個僕人去，他們也打了他，並且凌辱他，叫他空手回去。 12 又打發第三個僕人去，他們也打傷了他，把他推出去了。 13 園主說：『我怎麼辦呢？我要打發我的愛子去，或者他們尊敬他。』 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！』 15 於是把他推出葡萄園外，殺了。這樣，葡萄園的主人要怎樣處治他們呢？ 16 他要來除滅這些園戶，將葡萄園轉給別人。」聽見的人說：「這是萬不可的！」 17 耶穌看著他們說：「經上記著： 匠人所棄的石頭 已作了房角的頭塊石頭。 這是甚麼意思呢？

18 凡掉在那石頭上的，必要跌碎；那石頭掉在誰的身上，就要把誰砸得稀爛。」

納稅給凱撒的問題

（太22‧15－22；可12‧13－17）

27 撒都該人常說沒有復活的事。有幾個來問耶穌說： 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，為哥哥生子立後。』 29 有弟兄七人，第一個娶了妻，沒有孩子死了； 30 第二個、第三個也娶過她； 31 那七個人都娶過她，沒有留下孩子就死了。 32 後來婦人也死了。 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。」 34 耶穌說：「這世界的人有娶有嫁； 35 惟有算為配得那世界，與從死裏復活的人也不娶也不嫁； 36 因為他們不能再死，和天使一樣；既是復活的人，就為上帝的兒子。 37 至於死人復活，摩西在荊棘篇上，稱主是亞伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝，就指示明白了。 38 上帝原不是死人的上帝，乃是活人的上帝；因為在他那裏t，人都是活的。」 39 有幾個文士說：「夫子！你說得好。」 40 以後他們不敢再問他甚麼。

大衛子孫的問題

（太22‧41－46；可12‧35－37）

41 耶穌對他們說：「人怎麼說基督是大衛的子孫呢？ 42 詩篇上大衛自己說： 主對我主說： 你坐在我的右邊，

43 等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。

44  大衛既稱他為主，他怎麼又是大衛的子孫呢？」

譴責文士

（太23‧1－36；可12‧38－40）

45 眾百姓聽的時候，耶穌對門徒說： 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，又喜愛會堂裏的高位，筵席上的首座； 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！」

Luke 20

The Authority of Jesus

1 Now onet day, as Jesust was teaching the people in the temple courtst and proclaimingt the gospel, the chief priests and the experts in the lawt with the elders came ups2 and said to him,t “Tell us: By what authorityt are you doing these things?s Or who it is who gave you this authority?”3 He answered them,t “I will also ask you a question, and you tell me:4 John’s baptisms – was it from heaven or from people?”ts5 Sot they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’6 But if we say, ‘From people,’ all the people will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.”7 Sot they replied that they did not knows where it came from.

8 Thent Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell yous by whose authorityt I do these things.”

The Parable of the Tenants

9 Thent he began to tell the people this parable: “A mans planted a vineyard,s leased it to tenant farmers,s and went on a journey for a long time.10 When harvest time came, he sent a slaves to the tenants so that they would gives him his portion of the crop.t However, the tenants beat his slavets and sent him away empty-handed.11 Sot he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.s12 Sot he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out.13 Thent the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son;ts perhaps they will respect him.’14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir; let’s kill him so the inheritance will be ours!’15 Sot they threw him out of the vineyard and killeds him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?16 He will come and destroys those tenants and give the vineyard to others.”s When the peoplet heard this, they said, “May this never happen!”s17 But Jesust looked straight at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?ts18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces,t and the one on whom it falls will be crushed.”ts

19 Thent the experts in the lawt and the chief priests wanted to arrestt him that very hour, because they realized he had told this parable against them. Butt they were afraid of the people.

Paying Taxes to Caesar

20 Thent they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere.t They wanted to take advantage of what he might sayt so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdictiont of the governor.21 Thust they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly,t and show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.s22 Is it rightt for us to pay the tribute taxt to Caesart or not?”23 But Jesust perceived their deceitt and said to them,24 “Show me a denarius.ts Whose imagets and inscription are on it?”t They said, “Caesar’s.”25 Sot he said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”s

26 Thust they were unable in the presence of the people to trapt him with his own words.t And stunnedt by his answer, they fell silent.

Marriage and the Resurrection

27 Now some Sadduceess (who contend that there is no resurrection)s came to him.28 They asked him,t “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies leaving a wife but no children, that mantmust marrytthe widow and father childrentfor his brother.s29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a womant and died without children.30 The seconds31 and then the third married her, and in this same way all seven died, leaving no children.32 Finally the woman died too.

33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be?s For all seven had married her.”t
34 Sot Jesus said to them, “The people of this aget marry and are given in marriage.35 But those who are regarded as worthy to share int that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.s36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are equal to angelss and are sons of God, since they aret sonst of the resurrection.37 But even Moses revealed that the dead are raisedt in the passage about the bush,s where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.s38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living,s for all live before him.”t39 Thent some of the experts in the lawt answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well!”s

40 For they did not dare any longer to asks him anything.

The Messiah: David’s Son and Lord

41 Buts he said to them, “How is it that they say that the Christts is David’s son?s

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

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

44 If David then calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”t

Jesus Warns the Disciples against Pride

45 Ast all the people were listening, Jesust said to his disciples,46 “Bewaret of the experts in the law.t Theyt like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetingss in the marketplaces and the best seatss in the synagoguess and the places of honor at banquets.

47 Theyt devours widows’ property,t and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.”
