馬可福音 12

凶惡園戶的比喻

（太21‧33－46；路20‧9－19）

1 耶穌就用比喻對他們說：「有人栽了一個葡萄園，周圍圈上籬笆，挖了一個壓酒池，蓋了一座樓，租給園戶，就往外國去了。 2 到了時候，打發一個僕人到園戶那裏，要從園戶收葡萄園的果子。 3 園戶拿住他，打了他，叫他空手回去。 4 再打發一個僕人到他們那裏。他們打傷他的頭，並且凌辱他。 5 又打發一個僕人去，他們就殺了他。後又打發好些僕人去，有被他們打的，有被他們殺的。 6 園主還有一位是他的愛子，末後又打發他去，意思說：『他們必尊敬我的兒子。』 7 不料，那些園戶彼此說：『這是承受產業的。來吧，我們殺他，產業就歸我們了！』 8 於是拿住他，殺了他，把他丟在園外。 9 這樣，葡萄園的主人要怎麼辦呢？他要來除滅那些園戶，將葡萄園轉給別人。 10 經上寫著說： 匠人所棄的石頭 已作了房角的頭塊石頭。

11 這是主所做的， 在我們眼中看為希奇。 這經你們沒有念過嗎？」

12 他們看出這比喻是指著他們說的，就想要捉拿他，只是懼怕百姓，於是離開他走了。

納稅給凱撒的問題

（太22‧15－22；路20‧19－26）

18 撒都該人常說沒有復活的事。他們來問耶穌說： 19 「夫子，摩西為我們寫著說：『人若死了，撇下妻子，沒有孩子，他兄弟當娶他的妻，為哥哥生子立後。』 20 有弟兄七人，第一個娶了妻，死了，沒有留下孩子。 21 第二個娶了她，也死了，沒有留下孩子。第三個也是這樣。 22 那七個人都沒有留下孩子；末了，那婦人也死了。 23 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。」 24 耶穌說：「你們所以錯了，豈不是因為不明白聖經，不曉得上帝的大能嗎？ 25 人從死裏復活，也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一樣。 26 論到死人復活，你們沒有念過摩西的書荊棘篇上所載的嗎？上帝對摩西說：『我是亞伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝。』 27 上帝不是死人的上帝，乃是活人的上帝。你們是大錯了。」

最大的誡命

（太22‧34－40；路10‧25－28）

28 有一個文士來，聽見他們辯論，曉得耶穌回答的好，就問他說：「誡命中哪是第一要緊的呢？」 29 耶穌回答說：「第一要緊的就是說：『以色列啊，你要聽，主－我們上帝是獨一的主。 30 你要盡心、盡性、盡意、盡力愛主－你的上帝。』 31 其次就是說：『要愛人如己。 』再沒有比這兩條誡命更大的了。」 32 那文士對耶穌說：「夫子說，上帝是一位，實在不錯；除了他以外，再沒有別的上帝； 33 並且盡心、盡智、盡力愛他，又愛人如己，就比一切燔祭和各樣祭祀好的多。」 34 耶穌見他回答的有智慧，就對他說：「你離上帝的國不遠了。」從此以後，沒有人敢再問他甚麼。

大衛子孫的問題

（太22‧41－46；路20‧41－44）

35 耶穌在殿裏教訓人，就問他們說：「文士怎麼說基督是大衛的子孫呢？ 36 大衛被聖靈感動，說： 主對我主說： 你坐在我的右邊， 等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。

37  大衛既自己稱他為主，他怎麼又是大衛的子孫呢？」眾人都喜歡聽他。

譴責文士

（太23‧1－36；路20‧45－47）

41 耶穌對銀庫坐著，看眾人怎樣投錢入庫。有好些財主往裏投了若干的錢。 42 有一個窮寡婦來，往裏投了兩個小錢，就是一個大錢。 43 耶穌叫門徒來，說：「我實在告訴你們，這窮寡婦投入庫裏的，比眾人所投的更多。 44 因為，他們都是自己有餘，拿出來投在裏頭；但這寡婦是自己不足，把她一切養生的都投上了。」

Mark 12

The Parable of the Tenants

1 Thent he began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard.s He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a watchtower. Thent he leased it to tenant farmerss and went on a journey.2 At harvest time he sent a slavets to the tenants to collect from themt his portion of the crop.t3 Butt those tenantst seized his slave,t beat him,s and sent him away empty-handed.s4 Sot he sent another slave to them again. This one they struck on the head and treated outrageously.5 He sent another, and that one they killed. This happened to many others, some of whom were beaten, others killed.6 He had one left, his one dear son.ts Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’7 But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and the inheritance will be ours!’8 Sot they seized him,t killed him, and threw his bodyt out of the vineyard.s9 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroys those tenants and give the vineyard to others.s

10 Have you not read this scripture:
‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.ts

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

12 Nowt they wanted to arrest him (but they feared the crowd), because they realized that he told this parable against them. Sot they left him and went away.s

Paying Taxes to Caesar

13 Thent they sent some of the Phariseess and Herodianss to trap him with his own words.t14 When they came they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and do not court anyone’s favor, because you show no partialityt but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.s Is it rightt to pay taxests to Caesart or not? Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”15 But he saw through their hypocrisy and saidt to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denariusts and let me look at it.”16 Sot they brought one, and he said to them, “Whose imagets is this, and whose inscription?” They replied,t “Caesar’s.”

17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”s And they were utterly amazed at him.

Marriage and the Resurrection

18 Sadduceess (who say there is no resurrection)s also came to him and asked him,t19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, that mantmust marrytthe widow and father childrentfor his brother.’s20 There were seven brothers. The first one married,t and when he died he had no children.21 The second married her and died without any children, and likewise the third.22 None of the seven had children. Finally, the woman died too.23 In the resurrection, when they rise again,s whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her.”t24 Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you deceivedt for this reason, because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God?25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angelss in heaven.26 Now as for the dead being raised,t have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush,s how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, thetGod of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?s

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

The Greatest Commandment

28 Nowt one of the experts in the lawt came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesust answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”29 Jesus answered, “The most important is: ‘Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.30 Lovetthe Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’s31 The second is: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’s There is no other commandment greater than these.”32 The expert in the law said to him, “That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there is no one else besides him.s33 And to love him with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strengths and to love your neighbor as yourselfs is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34 When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” Then no one dared any longer to question him.

The Messiah: David’s Son and Lord

35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the experts in the lawt say that the Christts is David’s son?s

36 David himself, by the Holy Spirit, said,
‘The Lord said to my lord,s
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet.”’s

37 If David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”t And the large crowd was listening to him with delight.

Warnings About Experts in the Law

38 In his teaching Jesust also said, “Watch out for the experts in the law.t They like walkingt around in long robes and elaborate greetingss in the marketplaces,39 and the best seats in the synagoguess and the places of honor at banquets.

40 Theyt devour widows’ property,t and as a show make long prayers. These men will receive a more severe punishment.”

The Widow’s Offering

41 Thent hes sat down opposite the offering box,tss and watched the crowd putting coins into it. Many rich people were throwing in large amounts.42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins,s worth less than a penny.43 He called his disciples and said to them, “I tell you the truth,t this poor widow has put more into the offering boxt than all the others.s

44 For they all gave out of their wealth.t But she, out of her poverty, put in what she had to live on, everything she had.”s
