婚筵的比喻The Parable of the Wedding Banquet

22:1 耶穌又用比喻對他們說：Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:

22:2 「天國好比一個王為他兒子擺設娶親的筵席，“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

22:3 就打發僕人去，請那些被召的人來赴席，他們卻不肯來。 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

22:4 「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。』 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

22:5 「那些人不理就走了；一個到自己田裡去；一個做買賣去；“But they paid no attention and went off— one to his field, another to his business.

22:6 其餘的拿住僕人，凌辱他們，把他們殺了。 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.

22:7 王就大怒，發兵除滅那些兇手，燒燬他們的城。The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

22:8 「於是對僕人說：『喜筵已經齊備，只是所召的人不配。 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.

22:9 所以你們要往岔路口上去，凡遇見的，都召來赴席。』 Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’

22:10 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。So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

22:11 王進來觀看賓客，見那裡有一個沒有穿禮服的，“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.

22:12 就對他說：『朋友，你到這裡來怎麼不穿禮服呢？』那人無言可答。 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.

22:13 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裡；在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。』 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’【這段經文實在不容易明白--隨便找來的人可能是流浪漢，哪來的禮服？-- This passage is hard to understand -- those random guests may be homeless, where did they get the dresses?】

22:14 「因為被召的人多，選上的人少。」 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

納稅給凱撒 Paying Taxes to Caesar

22:15 當時，法利賽人出去商議，怎樣就著耶穌的話陷害他(laid plans to trap him)， Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words.

22:16 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，並且誠誠實實傳神的道，甚麼人你都不徇情面，因為你不看人的外貌。 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. 【The Herodians held political power, and most scholars believe that they were a political party that supported King Herod Antipas--希律黨掌握政權，多數學者認為他們是支持希律安提帕王的政黨】

22:17 請告訴我們，你的意見如何？納稅給凱撒可以不可以？」 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

22:18 耶穌看出他們的惡意，就說：「假冒為善的人哪，為甚麼試探我？ But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?

22:19 拿一個上稅的錢給我看！」他們就拿一個銀錢來給他。 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius,

22:20 耶穌說：「這像和這號是誰的？」 and he asked them, “Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?” 【inscription--words inscribed—題字於書或物品上】

22:21 他們說：「是凱撒的。」耶穌說：「這樣，凱撒的物當歸給凱撒；神的物當歸給神。」 “Caesar's,” they replied. Then he said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.”

22:22 他們聽見就希奇，離開他走了。 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

復活時的婚姻關係 Marriage at the Resurrection

22:23 撒都該人常說沒有復活的事。那天，他們來問耶穌說： That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.

22:24 「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。』 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.

22:25 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。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.

22:26 第二、第三、直到第七個，都是如此。 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.

22:27 末後，婦人也死了。Finally, the woman died.

22:28 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。」 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”

22:29 耶穌回答說：「你們錯了；因為不明白聖經，也不曉得神的大能。 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

22:30 當復活的時候，人也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一樣。 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

22:31 論到死人復活，神在經上向你們所說的，你們沒有念過嗎？But about the resurrection of the dead— have you not read what God said to you,

22:32 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。」 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ (Exodus 3:6)? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

22:33 眾人聽見這話，就希奇他的教訓。When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

最大的誡命 the Greatest Commandment

22:34 法利賽人聽見耶穌堵住了撒都該人的口，他們就聚集。Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.

22:35 內中有一個人是律法師，要試探耶穌，就問他說：One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:

22:36 「夫子，律法上的誡命，哪一條是最大的呢？」 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

22:37 耶穌對他說：「你要盡心、盡性、盡意愛主─你的神。Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ (Deut. 6:5)

22:38 這是誡命中的第一，且是最大的。This is the first and greatest commandment.

22:39 其次也相倣，就是要愛人如己。And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Lev. 19:18)

22:40 這兩條誡命是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。」 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 【一切道理的總綱--the summary of all principles】

基督是誰的子孫 Whose Son Is the Christ?

22:41 法利賽人聚集的時候，耶穌問他們說：While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

22:42 「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。」 “What do you think about the Christ (Or Messiah)? Whose son is he?” “The son of David,” they replied.

22:43 耶穌說：「這樣，大衛被聖靈感動，怎麼還稱他為主，說： He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,

22:44 主對我主說：你坐在我的右邊，等我把你仇敵放在你的腳下。 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”(Psalm 110:1)

22:45 大衛既稱他為主，他怎麼又是大衛的子孫呢？」 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”

22:46 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。No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
