Matthew

耶穌又用比喻對他們說：

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

天國好比一個王為他兒子擺設娶親的筵席，

And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

就打發僕人去，請那些被召的人來赴席，他們卻不肯來。

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and {my} fatlings {are} killed, and all things {are} ready: come unto the marriage.

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。

But they made light of {it}, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

那些人不理就走了；一個到自己田裡去；一個作買賣去；

And the remnant took his servants, and entreated {them} spitefully, and slew {them}.

其餘的拿住僕人，凌辱他們，把他們殺了。

But when the king heard {thereof}, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

王就大怒，發兵除滅那些兇手，燒燬他們的城。

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

於是對僕人說：喜筵已經齊備，只是所召的人不配。

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

所以你們要往岔路口上去，凡遇見的，都召來赴席。

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

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。

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

王進來觀看賓客，見那裡有一個沒有穿禮服的，

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

就對他說：朋友，你到這裡來怎麼不穿禮服呢？那人無言可答。

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast {him} into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

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裡；在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。

For many are called, but few {are} chosen.

因為被召的人多，選上的人少。

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in {his} talk.

當時，法利賽人出去商議，怎樣就著耶穌的話陷害他，

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any {man}: for thou regardest not the person of men.

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，並且誠誠實實傳神的道，甚麼人你都不徇情面，因為你不看人的外貌。

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

請告訴我們，你的意見如何？納稅給該撒可以不可以？

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, {ye} hypocrites?

耶穌看出他們的惡意，就說：假冒為善的人哪，為甚麼試探我？

Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. {penny: in value seven pence halfpenny}

拿一個上稅的錢給我看！他們就拿一個銀錢來給他。

And he saith unto them, Whose {is} this image and superscription? {superscription: or, inscription}

耶穌說：這像和這號是誰的？

They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

他們說：是該撒的。耶穌說：這樣，該撒的物當歸給該撒；神的物當歸給神。

When they had heard {these words}, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

他們聽見就希奇，離開他走了。

The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

撒都該人常說沒有復活的事。那天，他們來問耶穌說：

Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

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。

Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

從前，在我們這裡有弟兄七人，第一個娶了妻，死了，沒有孩子，撇下妻子給兄弟。

Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. {seventh: Gr. seven}

第二、第三、直到第七個，都是如此。

And last of all the woman died also.

末後，婦人也死了。

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

這樣，當復活的時候，他是七個人中那一個的妻子呢？因為他們都娶過他。

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

耶穌回答說：你們錯了；因為不明白聖經，也不曉得神的大能。

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

當復活的時候，人也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一樣。

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

論到死人復活，神在經上向你們所說的，你們沒有念過麼？

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.

他說：我是亞伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神。神不是死人的神，乃是活人的神。

And when the multitude heard {this}, they were astonished at his doctrine.

眾人聽見這話，就希奇他的教訓。

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

法利賽人聽見耶穌堵住了撒都該人的口，他們就聚集。

Then one of them, {which was} a lawyer, asked {him a question}, tempting him, and saying,

內中有一個人是律法師，要試探耶穌，就問他說：

Master, which {is} the great commandment in the law?

夫子，律法上的誡命，那一條是最大的呢？

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

耶穌對他說：你要盡心、盡性、盡意愛主─你的神。

This is the first and great commandment.

這是誡命中的第一，且是最大的。

And the second {is} like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

其次也相倣，就是要愛人如己。

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

這兩條誡命是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

法利賽人聚集的時候，耶穌問他們說：

Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, {The Son} of David.

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。

He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

耶穌說：這樣，大衛被聖靈感動，怎麼還稱他為主，說：

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

主對我主說：你坐在我的右邊，等我把你仇敵放在你的腳下。

If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

大衛既稱他為主，他怎麼又是大衛的子孫呢？

And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any {man} from that day forth ask him any more {questions}.

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。
