Matthew 22

耶稣又用比喻对他们说：

yē sū yòu yòng bǐ yù duì tā men shuō ：

Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

「天国好比一个王为他儿子摆设娶亲的筵席，

「 tiān guó hǎo bǐ yí gè wáng wèi tā ér zi bǎi shè qǔ qīn de yán xí ，

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,

就打发仆人去，请那些被召的人来赴席，他们却不肯来。

jiù dǎ fā pú rén qù ， qǐng nà xiē bèi zhào de rén lái fù xí ， tā men què bù kěn lái 。

and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

王又打发别的仆人，说：『你们告诉那被召的人，我的筵席已经预备好了，牛和肥畜已经宰了，各样都齐备，请你们来赴席。』

wáng yòu dǎ fā bié de pú rén ， shuō ：『 nǐ men gào sù nà bèi zhào de rén ， wǒ de yán xí yǐ jīng yù bèi hǎo le ， niú hé féi chù yǐ jīng zǎi le ， gè yàng dōu qí bèi ， qǐng nǐ men lái fù xí 。』

Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’

那些人不理就走了；一个到自己田里去；一个做买卖去；

nà xiē rén bù lǐ jiù zǒu le ； yí gè dào zì jǐ tián lǐ qù ； yí gè zuò mǎi mài qù ；

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

其余的拿住仆人，凌辱他们，把他们杀了。

qí yú de ná zhù pú rén ， líng rǔ tā men ， bǎ tā men shā le 。

and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

王就大怒，发兵除灭那些凶手，烧毁他们的城。

wáng jiù dà nù ， fā bīng chú miè nà xiē xiōng shǒu ， shāo huǐ tā men de chéng 。

When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

于是对仆人说：『喜筵已经齐备，只是所召的人不配。

yú shì duì pú rén shuō ：『 xǐ yán yǐ jīng qí bèi ， zhǐ shì suǒ zhào de rén bú pèi 。

“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.

所以你们要往岔路口上去，凡遇见的，都召来赴席。』

suǒ yǐ nǐ men yào wǎng chà lù kǒu shàng qù ， fán yù jiàn de ， dōu zhào lái fù xí 。』

Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’

那些仆人就出去，到大路上，凡遇见的，不论善恶都召聚了来，筵席上就坐满了客。

nà xiē pú rén jiù chū qù ， dào dà lù shang ， fán yù jiàn de ， bú lùn shàn è dōu zhào jù le lái ， yán xí shàng jiù zuò mǎn le kè 。

Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

王进来观看宾客，见那里有一个没有穿礼服的，

wáng jìn lái guān kàn bīn kè ， jiàn nà lǐ yǒu yí gè méi yǒu chuān lǐ fú de ，

“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,

就对他说：『朋友，你到这里来怎么不穿礼服呢？』那人无言可答。

jiù duì tā shuō ：『 péng yǒu ， nǐ dào zhè lǐ lái zěn me bù chuān lǐ fú ne ？』 nà rén wú yán kě dá 。

and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.

于是王对使唤的人说：『捆起他的手脚来，把他丢在外边的黑暗里；在那里必要哀哭切齿了。』

yú shì wáng duì shǐ huàn de rén shuō ：『 kǔn qǐ tā de shǒu jiǎo lái ， bǎ tā diū zài wài biān de hēi àn lǐ ； zài nà lǐ bì yào āi kū qiè chǐ le 。』

Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’

因为被召的人多，选上的人少。」

yīn wèi bèi zhào de rén duō ， xuǎn shàng de rén shǎo 。」

For many are called, but few chosen.”

当时，法利赛人出去商议，怎样就着耶稣的话陷害他，

dāng shí ， fǎ lì sài rén chū qù shāng yì ， zěn yàng jiù zhe yē sū de huà xiàn hài tā ，

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

就打发他们的门徒同希律党的人去见耶稣，说：「夫子，我们知道你是诚实人，并且诚诚实实传 神的道，什么人你都不徇情面，因为你不看人的外貌。

jiù dǎ fā tā men de mén tú tóng xī lǜ dǎng de rén qù jiàn yē sū ， shuō ：「 fū zǐ ， wǒ men zhī dào nǐ shì chéng shí rén ， bìng qiě chéng chéng shí shí chuán shén de dào ， shén me rén nǐ dōu bú xùn qíng miàn ， yīn wèi nǐ bú kàn rén de wài mào 。

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.

请告诉我们，你的意见如何？纳税给凯撒可以不可以？」

qǐng gào sù wǒ men ， nǐ de yì jiàn rú hé ？ nà shuì gěi kǎi sā kě yǐ bù kě yǐ ？」

Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

耶稣看出他们的恶意，就说：「假冒为善的人哪，为什么试探我？

yē sū kàn chū tā men de è yì ， jiù shuō ：「 jiǎ mào wèi shàn de rén nǎ ， wèi shén me shì tàn wǒ ？

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

拿一个上税的钱给我看！」他们就拿一个银钱来给他。

ná yí gè shàng shuì de qián gěi wǒ kàn ！」 tā men jiù ná yí gè yín qián lái gěi tā 。

Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

耶稣说：「这像和这号是谁的？」

yē sū shuō ：「 zhè xiàng hé zhè hào shì shuí de ？」

He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

他们说：「是凯撒的。」耶稣说：「这样，凯撒的物当归给凯撒； 神的物当归给 神。」

tā men shuō ：「 shì kǎi sā de 。」 yē sū shuō ：「 zhè yàng ， kǎi sā de wù dāng guī gěi kǎi sā ； shén de wù dāng guī gěi shén 。」

They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

他们听见就希奇，离开他走了。

tā men tīng jiàn jiù xī qí ， lí kāi tā zǒu le 。

When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.

撒都该人常说没有复活的事。那天，他们来问耶稣说：

sā dōu gāi rén cháng shuō méi yǒu fù huó de shì 。 nà tiān ， tā men lái wèn yē sū shuō ：

On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

「夫子，摩西说：『人若死了，没有孩子，他兄弟当娶他的妻，为哥哥生子立后。』

「 fū zǐ ， mó xī shuō ：『 rén ruò sǐ le ， méi yǒu hái zi ， tā xiōng dì dāng qǔ tā de qī ， wèi gē ge shēng zǐ lì hòu 。』

saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’

从前，在我们这里有弟兄七人，第一个娶了妻，死了，没有孩子，撇下妻子给兄弟。

cóng qián ， zài wǒ men zhè lǐ yǒu dì xiōng qī rén ， dì yī gè qǔ le qī ， sǐ le ， méi yǒu hái zi ， piě xià qī zǐ gěi xiōng dì 。

Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

第二、第三，直到第七个，都是如此。

dì èr 、 dì sān ， zhí dào dì qī gè ， dōu shì rú cǐ 。

In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

末后，妇人也死了。

mò hòu ， fù rén yě sǐ le 。

After them all, the woman died.

这样，当复活的时候，她是七个人中哪一个的妻子呢？因为他们都娶过她。」

zhè yàng ， dāng fù huó de shí hòu ， tā shì qī gè rén zhōng nǎ yí gè de qī zǐ ne ？ yīn wèi tā men dōu qǔ guò tā 。」

In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

耶稣回答说：「你们错了；因为不明白圣经，也不晓得 神的大能。

yē sū huí dá shuō ：「 nǐ men cuò le ； yīn wèi bù míng bái shèng jīng ， yě bù xiǎo de shén de dà néng 。

But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

当复活的时候，人也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一样。

dāng fù huó de shí hòu ， rén yě bù qǔ yě bú jià ， nǎi xiàng tiān shàng de shǐ zhě yí yàng 。

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.

论到死人复活， 神在经上向你们所说的，你们没有念过吗？

lùn dào sǐ rén fù huó ， shén zài jīng shàng xiàng nǐ men suǒ shuō de ， nǐ men méi yǒu niàn guò ma ？

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

他说：『我是亚伯拉罕的 神，以撒的 神，雅各的 神。』 神不是死人的 神，乃是活人的 神。」

tā shuō ：『 wǒ shì yà bó lā hǎn de shén ， yǐ sā de shén ， yǎ gè de shén 。』 shén bú shì sǐ rén de shén ， nǎi shì huó rén de shén 。」

‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

众人听见这话，就希奇他的教训。

zhòng rén tīng jiàn zhè huà ， jiù xī qí tā de jiào xùn 。

When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

法利赛人听见耶稣堵住了撒都该人的口，他们就聚集。

fǎ lì sài rén tīng jiàn yē sū dǔ zhù le sā dōu gāi rén de kǒu ， tā men jiù jù jí 。

But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

内中有一个人是律法师，要试探耶稣，就问他说：

nèi zhōng yǒu yí gè rén shì lǜ fǎ shī ， yào shì tàn yē sū ， jiù wèn tā shuō ：

One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

「夫子，律法上的诫命，哪一条是最大的呢？」

「 fū zǐ ， lǜ fǎ shàng de jiè mìng ， nǎ yì tiáo shì zuì dà de ne ？」

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”

耶稣对他说：「你要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主—你的 神。

yē sū duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ yào jìn xīn 、 jìn xìng 、 jìn yì ài zhǔ — nǐ de shén 。

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

这是诫命中的第一，且是最大的。

zhè shì jiè mìng zhòng de dì yī ， qiě shì zuì dà de 。

This is the first and great commandment.

其次也相仿，就是要爱人如己。

qí cì yě xiāng fǎng ， jiù shì yào ài rén rú jǐ 。

A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

这两条诫命是律法和先知一切道理的总纲。」

zhè liǎng tiáo jiè mìng shì lǜ fǎ hé xiān zhī yí qiè dào lǐ de zǒng gāng 。」

The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

法利赛人聚集的时候，耶稣问他们说：

fǎ lì sài rén jù jí de shí hòu ， yē sū wèn tā men shuō ：

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

「论到基督，你们的意见如何？他是谁的子孙呢？」他们回答说：「是大卫的子孙。」

「 lùn dào jī dū ， nǐ men de yì jiàn rú hé ？ tā shì shuí de zǐ sūn ne ？」 tā men huí dá shuō ：「 shì dà wèi de zǐ sūn 。」

saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”

耶稣说：「这样，大卫被圣灵感动，怎么还称他为主，说：

yē sū shuō ：「 zhè yàng ， dà wèi bèi shèng líng gǎn dòng ， zěn me hái chēng tā wéi zhǔ ， shuō ：

He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

主对我主说： 你坐在我的右边， 等我把你仇敌放在你的脚下。

zhǔ duì wǒ zhǔ shuō ： nǐ zuò zài wǒ de yòu biān ， děng wǒ bǎ nǐ chóu dí fàng zài nǐ de jiǎo xià 。

‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?

大卫既称他为主，他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢？」

dà wèi jì chēng tā wéi zhǔ ， tā zěn me yòu shì dà wèi de zǐ sūn ne ？」

“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

他们没有一个人能回答一言。从那日以后，也没有人敢再问他什么。

tā men méi yǒu yí gè rén néng huí dá yì yán 。 cóng nà rì yǐ hòu ， yě méi yǒu rén gǎn zài wèn tā shén me 。

No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
