馬太福音 22

喜筵的比喻

（路14‧15－24）

1 耶穌又用比喻對他們說： 2 「天國好比一個王為他兒子擺設娶親的筵席， 3 就打發僕人去，請那些被召的人來赴席，他們卻不肯來。 4 王又打發別的僕人，說：『你們告訴那被召的人，我的筵席已經預備好了，牛和肥畜已經宰了，各樣都齊備，請你們來赴席。』 5 那些人不理就走了；一個到自己田裏去；一個做買賣去； 6 其餘的拿住僕人，凌辱他們，把他們殺了。 7 王就大怒，發兵除滅那些兇手，燒毀他們的城。 8 於是對僕人說：『喜筵已經齊備，只是所召的人不配。 9 所以你們要往岔路口上去，凡遇見的，都召來赴席。』 10 那些僕人就出去，到大路上，凡遇見的，不論善惡都召聚了來，筵席上就坐滿了客。 11 王進來觀看賓客，見那裏有一個沒有穿禮服的， 12 就對他說：『朋友，你到這裏來怎麼不穿禮服呢？』那人無言可答。 13 於是王對使喚的人說：『捆起他的手腳來，把他丟在外邊的黑暗裏；在那裏必要哀哭切齒了。』 14 因為被召的人多，選上的人少。」

納稅給凱撒的問題

（可12‧13－17；路20‧19－26）

15 當時，法利賽人出去商議，怎樣就著耶穌的話陷害他， 16 就打發他們的門徒同希律黨的人去見耶穌，說：「夫子，我們知道你是誠實人，並且誠誠實實傳上帝的道，甚麼人你都不徇情面，因為你不看人的外貌。 17 請告訴我們，你的意見如何？納稅給凱撒可以不可以？」 18 耶穌看出他們的惡意，就說：「假冒為善的人哪，為甚麼試探我？ 19 拿一個上稅的錢給我看！」他們就拿一個銀錢來給他。 20 耶穌說：「這像和這號是誰的？」 21 他們說：「是凱撒的。」耶穌說：「這樣，凱撒的物當歸給凱撒；上帝的物當歸給上帝。」 22 他們聽見就希奇，離開他走了。

復活的問題

（可12‧18－27；路20‧27－40）

23 撒都該人常說沒有復活的事。那天，他們來問耶穌說： 24 「夫子，摩西說：『人若死了，沒有孩子，他兄弟當娶他的妻，為哥哥生子立後。』 25 從前，在我們這裏有弟兄七人，第一個娶了妻，死了，沒有孩子，撇下妻子給兄弟。 26 第二、第三，直到第七個，都是如此。 27 末後，婦人也死了。 28 這樣，當復活的時候，她是七個人中哪一個的妻子呢？因為他們都娶過她。」 29 耶穌回答說：「你們錯了；因為不明白聖經，也不曉得上帝的大能。 30 當復活的時候，人也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一樣。 31 論到死人復活，上帝在經上向你們所說的，你們沒有念過嗎？ 32 他說：『我是亞伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝。』上帝不是死人的上帝，乃是活人的上帝。」 33 眾人聽見這話，就希奇他的教訓。

最大的誡命

（可12‧28－34；路10‧25－28）

34 法利賽人聽見耶穌堵住了撒都該人的口，他們就聚集。 35 內中有一個人是律法師，要試探耶穌，就問他說： 36 「夫子，律法上的誡命，哪一條是最大的呢？」 37 耶穌對他說：「你要盡心、盡性、盡意愛主－你的上帝。 38 這是誡命中的第一，且是最大的。 39 其次也相倣，就是要愛人如己。 40 這兩條誡命是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。」

大衛子孫的問題

（可12‧35－37；路20‧41－44）

41 法利賽人聚集的時候，耶穌問他們說： 42 「論到基督，你們的意見如何？他是誰的子孫呢？」他們回答說：「是大衛的子孫。」 43 耶穌說：「這樣，大衛被聖靈感動，怎麼還稱他為主，說：

44 主對我主說： 你坐在我的右邊， 等我把你仇敵放在你的腳下。

45  大衛既稱他為主，他怎麼又是大衛的子孫呢？」 46 他們沒有一個人能回答一言。從那日以後，也沒有人敢再問他甚麼。

Matthew 22

The Parable of the Wedding Banquet

1 Jesus spoket to them again in parables, saying:2 “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.3 He sent his slavest to summon those who had been invited to the banquet, but they would not come.4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready.t My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”’5 But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.6 Thet rest seized his slaves, insolently mistreated them, and killed them.7 Thet king was furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to deatht and set their cityt on fire.8 Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but the ones who had been invited were not worthy.9 So go into the main streets and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.’10 And those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all they found, both bad and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.11 But when the king came in to see the wedding guests, he saw a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But he had nothing to say.t13 Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Paying Taxes to Caesar

15 Then the Phariseess went out and planned together to entrap him with his own words.t16 They sent to him their disciples along with the Herodians,s saying, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.s You do not court anyone’s favor because you show no partiality.t

17 Tell us then, what do you think? Is it rightt to pay taxests to Caesart or not?”
18 But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?19 Show me the coin used for the tax.” Sot they brought him a denarius.ts20 Jesust said to them, “Whose imagets is this, and whose inscription?”21 They replied,t “Caesar’s.” He said to them,t “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”s

22 Now when they heard this they were stunned,t and they left him and went away.

Marriage and the Resurrection

23 The same day Sadduceess (who say there is no resurrection)s came to him and asked him,t24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and father childrentfor his brother.’s25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children he left his wife to his brother.26 The second did the same, and the third, down to the seventh.27 Lastt of all, the woman died.28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”t29 Jesust answered them, “You are deceived,t because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God.30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angelsss in heaven.31 Now as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God,t32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?s He is not the God of the dead but of the living!”s

33 When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.

The Greatest Commandment

34 Now when the Phariseess heard that he had silenced the Sadducees,s they assembled together.t35 And one of them, an expert in religious law,t asked him a question to testt him:36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”t37 Jesust said to him, “‘Lovetthe Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’s38 This is the first and greatestt commandment.39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’s

40 All the law and the prophets dependt on these two commandments.”

The Messiah: David’s Son and Lord

41 Whilet the Phariseess were assembled, Jesus asked them a question:t42 “What do you think about the Christ?ts Whose son is he?” They said, “The son of David.”s

43 He said to them, “How then does David by the Spirit call him ‘Lord,’ saying,

44 ‘The Lord said to my lord,s
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?s
45 If David then calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”t

46 No onet was able to answer him a word, and from that day on no one dared to question him any longer.
