Matthew

Chapter 21

1 And2532 when3753 they drew nigh1448 unto1519 Jerusalem,2414 and2532 were come2064 to1519 Bethphage,967 unto4314 the3588 mount3735 of Olives,1636 then5119 sent649 Jesus2424 two1417 disciples,3101

2 Saying3004 unto them,846 Go4198 into1519 the3588 village2968 over against561 you,5216 and2532 straightway2112 ye shall find2147 an ass3688 tied,1210 and2532 a colt4454 with3326 her: 846 loose3089 them, and bring71 them unto me.3427

3 And2532 if1437 any5100 man say2036 aught5100 unto you,5213 ye shall say,2046 The3588 Lord2962 hath2192 need5532 of them;846 and2532 straightway2112 he will send649 them.846

4 1161 All3650 this5124 was done,1096 that2443 it might be fulfilled4137 which was spoken4483 by1223 the3588 prophet,4396 saying,3004

5 Tell2036 ye the3588 daughter2364 of Zion,4622 Behold,2400 thy4675 king935 cometh2064 unto thee,4671 meek,4239 and2532 sitting1910 upon1909 an ass,3688 and2532 a colt4454 the foal5207 of an ass.5268

6 And1161 the3588 disciples3101 went,4198 and2532 did4160 as2531 Jesus2424 commanded4367 them,846

7 And brought71 the3588 ass,3688 and2532 the3588 colt,4454 and2532 put2007 on1883 them846 their848 clothes,2440 and2532 they set1940 him thereon.1883 846

8 And1161 a very great4118 multitude3793 spread4766 their1438 garments2440 in1722 the3588 way;3598 1161 others243 cut down2875 branches2798 from575 the3588 trees,1186 and2532 strewed4766 them in1722 the3588 way.3598

9 And1161 the3588 multitudes3793 that went before,4254 and2532 that followed,190 cried,2896 saying,3004 Hosanna5614 to the3588 son5207 of David:1138 Blessed2127 is he that cometh2064 in1722 the name3686 of the Lord;2962 Hosanna5614 in1722 the3588 highest.5310

10 And2532 when he846 was come1525 into1519 Jerusalem,2414 all3956 the3588 city4172 was moved,4579 saying,3004 Who5101 is2076 this?3778

11 And1161 the3588 multitude3793 said,3004 This3778 is2076 Jesus2424 the3588 prophet4396 of575 Nazareth3478 of Galilee.1056

12 And2532 Jesus2424 went1525 into1519 the3588 temple2411 of God,2316 and2532 cast out1544 all3956 them that sold4453 and2532 bought59 in1722 the3588 temple,2411 and2532 overthrew2690 the3588 tables5132 of the3588 moneychangers,2855 and2532 the3588 seats2515 of them that sold4453 doves,4058

13 And2532 said3004 unto them,846 It is written,1125 My3450 house3624 shall be called2564 the house3624 of prayer;4335 but1161 ye5210 have made4160 it846 a den4693 of thieves.3027

14 And2532 the blind5185 and2532 the lame5560 came4334 to him846 in1722 the3588 temple;2411 and2532 he healed2323 them.846

15 And1161 when the3588 chief priests749 and2532 scribes1122 saw1492 the3588 wonderful things2297 that3739 he did,4160 and2532 the3588 children3816 crying2896 in1722 the3588 temple,2411 and2532 saying,3004 Hosanna5614 to the3588 son5207 of David;1138 they were sore displeased,23

16 And2532 said2036 unto him,846 Hearest191 thou what5101 these3778 say?3004 And2532 Jesus2424 saith3004 unto them,846 Yea;3483 have ye never3763 read,314 Out of1537 the mouth4750 of babes3516 and2532 sucklings2337 thou hast perfected2675 praise136

17 And2532 he left2641 them,846 and went1831 out1854 of the3588 city4172 into1519 Bethany;963 and2532 he lodged835 there.1563

18 Now1161 in the morning4405 as he returned1877 into1519 the3588 city,4172 he hungered.3983

19 And2532 when he saw1492 a3391 fig tree4808 in1909 the3588 way,3598 he came2064 to1909 it,846 and2532 found2147 nothing3762 thereon,1722 846 but1508 leaves5444 only,3440 and2532 said3004 unto it,846 Let no fruit2590 grow1096 on1537 thee4675 henceforward3371 forever.1519 165 And2532 presently3916 the3588 fig tree4808 withered away.3583

20 And2532 when the3588 disciples3101 saw1492 it, they marveled,2296 saying,3004 How4459 soon3916 is the3588 fig tree4808 withered away!3583

21 1161 Jesus2424 answered611 and said2036 unto them,846 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 If1437 ye have2192 faith,4102 and2532 doubt1252 not,3361 ye shall not3756 only3440 do4160 this3588 which is done to the3588 fig tree,4808 but235 also if2579 ye shall say2036 unto this5129 mountain,3735 Be thou removed,142 and2532 be thou cast906 into1519 the3588 sea;2281 it shall be done.1096

22 And2532 all things,3956 whatsoever3745 302 ye shall ask154 in1722 prayer,4335 believing,4100 ye shall receive.2983

23 And2532 when he846 was come2064 into1519 the3588 temple,2411 the3588 chief priests749 and2532 the3588 elders4245 of the3588 people2992 came4334 unto him846 as he was teaching,1321 and said,3004 By1722 what4169 authority1849 doest4160 thou these things?5023 and2532 who5101 gave1325 thee4671 this5026 authority?1849

24 And1161 Jesus2424 answered611 and said2036 unto them,846 I also2504 will ask2065 you5209 one1520 thing,3056 which3739 if1437 ye tell2036 me,3427 I in likewise2504 will tell2046 you5213 by1722 what4169 authority1849 I do4160 these things.5023

25 The3588 baptism908 of John,2491 whence4159 was2258 it? from1537 heaven,3772 or2228 of1537 men? And444 1161 they3588 reasoned1260 with3844 themselves,1438 saying,3004 If1437 we shall say,2036 From1537 heaven;3772 he will say2046 unto us,2254 Why1302 did ye not3756 then3767 believe4100 him?846

26 But1161 if1437 we shall say,2036 Of1537 men;444 we fear5399 the3588 people;3793 for1063 all3956 hold2192 John2491 as5613 a prophet.4396

27 And2532 they answered611 Jesus,2424 and said,2036 We cannot tell.1492 3756 And2532 he846 said5346 unto them,846 Neither3761 tell3004 I1473 you5213 by1722 what4169 authority1849 I do4160 these things.5023

28 But1161 what5101 think1380 ye?5213 A certain man444 had2192 two1417 sons;5043 and2532 he came4334 to the3588 first,4413 and said,2036 Son,5043 go5217 work2038 today4594 in1722 my3450 vineyard.290

29 He3588 answered611 and said,2036 I will2309 not: 3756 but1161 afterward5305 he repented,3338 and went.565

30 And2532 he came4334 to the3588 second,1208 and said2036 likewise.5615 And1161 he3588 answered611 and said,2036 I1473 go, sir: 2962 and2532 went565 not.3756

31 Whether5101 of1537 them3588 twain1417 did4160 the3588 will2307 of his father? They3962 say3004 unto him,846 The3588 first.4413 Jesus2424 saith3004 unto them,846 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 That3754 the3588 publicans5057 and2532 the3588 harlots4204 go into the kingdom of God before4254 1519 3588 932 2316 you.5209

32 For1063 John2491 came2064 unto4314 you5209 in1722 the way3598 of righteousness,1343 and2532 ye believed4100 him846 not;3756 but1161 the3588 publicans5057 and2532 the3588 harlots4204 believed4100 him: 846 and1161 ye,5210 when ye had seen1492 it, repented3338 not3756 afterward,5305 that ye might believe4100 him.846

33 Hear191 another243 parable: 3850 There was2258 a certain5100 householder,3617 which3748 planted5452 a vineyard,290 and2532 hedged it round about,4060 846 5418 and2532 digged3736 a winepress3025 in1722 it,846 and2532 built3618 a tower,4444 and2532 let it out1554 846 to husbandmen,1092 and2532 went into a far country: 589

34 And1161 when3753 the3588 time2540 of the3588 fruit2590 drew near,1448 he sent649 his848 servants1401 to4314 the3588 husbandmen,1092 that they might receive2983 the3588 fruits2590 of it.846

35 And2532 the3588 husbandmen1092 took2983 his846 servants,1401 and beat1194 one,3739 3303 and1161 killed615 another,3739 and1161 stoned3036 another.3739

36 Again,3825 he sent649 other243 servants1401 more4119 than the3588 first: 4413 and2532 they did4160 unto them846 likewise.5615

37 But1161 last5305 of all he sent649 unto4314 them846 his848 son,5207 saying,3004 They will reverence1788 my3450 son.5207

38 But1161 when the3588 husbandmen1092 saw1492 the3588 son,5207 they said2036 among1722 themselves,1438 This3778 is2076 the3588 heir;2818 come,1205 let us kill615 him,846 and2532 let us seize on2722 his846 inheritance.2817

39 And2532 they caught2983 him,846 and2532 cast1544 him out1854 of the3588 vineyard,290 and2532 slew615 him.

40 When3752 the3588 lord2962 therefore3767 of the3588 vineyard290 cometh,2064 what5101 will he do4160 unto those1565 husbandmen?1092

41 They say3004 unto him,846 He will miserably2560 destroy622 those846 wicked men,2556 and2532 will let out1554 his vineyard290 unto other243 husbandmen,1092 which3748 shall render591 him846 the3588 fruits2590 in1722 their846 seasons.2540

42 Jesus2424 saith3004 unto them,846 Did ye never3763 read314 in1722 the3588 Scriptures,1124 The stone3037 which3739 the3588 builders3618 rejected,593 the same3778 is become1096 the1519 head2776 of the corner: 1137 this3778 is1096 the Lord's doing,3844 2962 and2532 it is2076 marvelous2298 in1722 our2257 eyes?3788

43 Therefore1223 5124 say3004 I unto you,5213 The3588 kingdom932 of God2316 shall be taken142 from575 you,5216 and2532 given1325 to a nation1484 bringing forth4160 the3588 fruits2590 thereof.846

44 And2532 whosoever shall fall4098 on1909 this5126 stone3037 shall be broken: 4917 but1161 on1909 whomsoever3739 302 it shall fall,4098 it will grind him to powder.3039 846

45 And2532 when the3588 chief priests749 and2532 Pharisees5330 had heard191 his846 parables,3850 they perceived1097 that3754 he spake3004 of4012 them.846

46 But2532 when they sought2212 to lay hands2902 on him,846 they feared5399 the3588 multitude,3793 because1894 they took2192 him846 for5613 a prophet.4396

馬太福音

第21章

1 耶穌和門徒將近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其,在橄欖山那裏,耶穌就打發兩個門徒[then sent Jesus two disciples]

2 對他們說[Saying unto them]:「你們[straightway]往對面村子裏去,必看見一匹驢縛在那裏,還有驢駒同在一處;你們將牠們[them]解開,牽到我這裏來。

3 若有人對你們說甚麼,你們就說:『主要用牠們[them]』;那人必立時讓你們牽牠們[them]來。

4 這事成就是要應驗先知的話,說:

5 你們[ye]要對女子錫安[daughter of Sion]說:「看哪,你的王來到你這裏,是溫柔的,又騎著驢,[and]騎著驢駒子。」

6 門徒就照耶穌所吩咐的去行,

7 牽了驢和驢駒來,把自己的衣服搭在牠們[them]上面,他們就扶著耶穌騎上[and they set him thereon]

8 有極多的人[a very great multitude]把衣服鋪在路上;還有人砍下樹枝來,鋪在路上。

9 前行後隨的眾人喊著說:和散那歸於大衛的子孫。奉主名來的是應當稱頌的;和散那至高在上[Honsanna in the highest]

10 耶穌既進了耶路撒冷,合城都震動[moved]了,說:「這是誰?」

11 眾人說:「這是加利利拿撒勒的先知耶穌。」

12 耶穌進了神的殿,趕出殿裏一切作買賣的人,推倒兌[money]之人的桌子,和賣鴿子之人的椅子[seats]

13 對他們說:「經上記著說:『我的殿必稱為禱告的殿』;你們倒已使[have made]它成為賊窩了。」

14 在殿裏有瞎子、瘸子到耶穌跟前;他就治好了他們。

15 祭司長和文士看見耶穌所行的奇事,又見孩子[children]在殿裏喊著說:「和散那歸於大衛的子孫;」就甚不歡喜[displeased]

16 對他說:「這些人所說的,你聽見了嗎?」耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「是的;經上說『你從嬰孩和吃奶的口中完全了讚美』的話,你們沒有念過嗎?」

17 於是[he]離開他們,出城到伯大尼去;他便[and he]在那裏住宿。

18 早晨回城的時候,他餓了。

19 那時,他[when he]看見路旁有一棵無花果樹,就走到跟前,在樹上找不著甚麼,不過有葉子,就對樹說:「從今以後,你永不結果子。」那無花果樹就當下[presently]枯乾了。

20 門徒看見了,便希奇說:「無花果樹枯乾了,何其快呢[How soon is the fig tree withered away]。」

21 耶穌回答他們[them]說:「我實在告訴你們:『你們若有信心,不疑惑,不但能行無花果樹上所行的事,就是對這座山說:你挪開此地,投在海裏;也必成就。』

22 你們禱告,無論求甚麼,只要信,就必得著。」

23 耶穌進了殿,正教訓人的時候,祭司長和民間的長老來對[came unto]他說:「你仗著甚麼權柄作這些事?給你這權柄的是誰呢?」

24 耶穌回答他們[them]說:「我也要問你們一句話,你們若告訴我,我就告訴你們我仗著甚麼權柄作這些事。

25 約翰的浸禮是從哪裏來的?是從天上來的?是從人間來的呢?」他們彼此商議說:「我們若說『從天上來』;他必對我們說:『這樣,你們為甚麼不信他呢?』

26 [But]我們[we]若說『從人間來』;我們又怕百姓;因為眾人[all]都以約翰為先知。」

27 他們[they]於是回答耶穌說:「我們道不出來[cannot tell]。」耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「我也不告訴你們我仗著甚麼權柄作這些事。」

28 但你們的意見如何[But what think ye]?一個人有兩個兒子;他來對大兒子說:『我兒,你今天到[my]葡萄園裏去作工。』

29 他回答說:『我不去』;以後[he][but]懊悔,就去了。

30 又來對小兒子也是這樣說。他回答說:『父啊,我去』;他卻不去。

31 這兩個兒子,那一個是遵行他父的命呢[Whether of them twain did the will of his father]?」他們對他[unto him]說:「大兒子。」耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「我實在告訴你們:『稅吏和娼妓倒比你們先進神的國。』

32 因為約翰遵著義路到你們這裏來,你們卻不信他;稅吏和娼妓倒信他。你們看見了,後來還是不懊悔去信他。

33 「你們再聽一個比喻:有個家主栽了一個葡萄園,周圍圈上籬笆,裏面挖了一個壓酒池,蓋了一座樓,租給園戶,就往遠方[far country]去了;

34 收果子的時候近了,[he]就打發[his]僕人到園戶那裏去,他們好[that they might]園裏的[of it]果子。

35 園戶拿住僕人,打了一個,殺了一個,用石頭打死一個。

36 主人又打發別的僕人去,比先前更多;園戶還是照樣待他們。

37 末了園主[last of all he]打發他的兒子到他們那裏去,[saying]:『他們必尊敬我的兒子。』

38 不料,園戶看見他兒子,他們[they]就彼此說:『這是承受產業的;來吧,我們殺他,強佔[seize on]他的產業。』

39 他們就拿住他,把他[him]推出葡萄園外,殺了。

40 既是這樣[therefore],園主來的時候要怎樣處治那些[those]園戶呢?」

41 他們對他[unto him]說:「園主[He]要下毒手除滅那些惡人,將他的[his]葡萄園另租給那按著時候交果子的園戶。」

42 耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「聖經[scriptures]上寫著:『匠人所棄的石頭,成為[is become]房角的頭塊石頭;這是主所作的,在我們眼中看為希奇。』這經你們沒有念過嗎?

43 所以我告訴你們:『神的國必從你們奪去,賜給那能結果子的[nation]。』

44 誰掉在這石頭上,必要跌碎;這石頭掉在誰的身上,就要把誰砸得稀爛。」

45 祭司長和法利賽人聽見他的比喻,就看出他是指著他們說的。

46 他們[But]想要捉拿他,只是怕眾人,因為眾人以他為先知。

1 And2532 when3753 they drew nigh1448 unto1519 Jerusalem,2414 and2532 were come2064 to1519 Bethphage,967 unto4314 the3588 mount3735 of Olives,1636 then5119 sent649 Jesus2424 two1417 disciples,3101

1 耶穌和門徒將近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其,在橄欖山那裏,耶穌就打發兩個門徒[then sent Jesus two disciples]

2 Saying3004 unto them,846 Go4198 into1519 the3588 village2968 over against561 you,5216 and2532 straightway2112 ye shall find2147 an ass3688 tied,1210 and2532 a colt4454 with3326 her: 846 loose3089 them, and bring71 them unto me.3427

2 對他們說[Saying unto them]:「你們[straightway]往對面村子裏去,必看見一匹驢縛在那裏,還有驢駒同在一處;你們將牠們[them]解開,牽到我這裏來。

3 And2532 if1437 any5100 man say2036 aught5100 unto you,5213 ye shall say,2046 The3588 Lord2962 hath2192 need5532 of them;846 and2532 straightway2112 he will send649 them.846

3 若有人對你們說甚麼,你們就說:『主要用牠們[them]』;那人必立時讓你們牽牠們[them]來。

4 1161 All3650 this5124 was done,1096 that2443 it might be fulfilled4137 which was spoken4483 by1223 the3588 prophet,4396 saying,3004

4 這事成就是要應驗先知的話,說:

5 Tell2036 ye the3588 daughter2364 of Zion,4622 Behold,2400 thy4675 king935 cometh2064 unto thee,4671 meek,4239 and2532 sitting1910 upon1909 an ass,3688 and2532 a colt4454 the foal5207 of an ass.5268

5 你們[ye]要對女子錫安[daughter of Sion]說:「看哪,你的王來到你這裏,是溫柔的,又騎著驢,[and]騎著驢駒子。」

6 And1161 the3588 disciples3101 went,4198 and2532 did4160 as2531 Jesus2424 commanded4367 them,846

6 門徒就照耶穌所吩咐的去行,

7 And brought71 the3588 ass,3688 and2532 the3588 colt,4454 and2532 put2007 on1883 them846 their848 clothes,2440 and2532 they set1940 him thereon.1883 846

7 牽了驢和驢駒來,把自己的衣服搭在牠們[them]上面,他們就扶著耶穌騎上[and they set him thereon]

8 And1161 a very great4118 multitude3793 spread4766 their1438 garments2440 in1722 the3588 way;3598 1161 others243 cut down2875 branches2798 from575 the3588 trees,1186 and2532 strewed4766 them in1722 the3588 way.3598

8 有極多的人[a very great multitude]把衣服鋪在路上;還有人砍下樹枝來,鋪在路上。

9 And1161 the3588 multitudes3793 that went before,4254 and2532 that followed,190 cried,2896 saying,3004 Hosanna5614 to the3588 son5207 of David:1138 Blessed2127 is he that cometh2064 in1722 the name3686 of the Lord;2962 Hosanna5614 in1722 the3588 highest.5310

9 前行後隨的眾人喊著說:和散那歸於大衛的子孫。奉主名來的是應當稱頌的;和散那至高在上[Honsanna in the highest]

10 And2532 when he846 was come1525 into1519 Jerusalem,2414 all3956 the3588 city4172 was moved,4579 saying,3004 Who5101 is2076 this?3778

10 耶穌既進了耶路撒冷,合城都震動[moved]了,說:「這是誰?」

11 And1161 the3588 multitude3793 said,3004 This3778 is2076 Jesus2424 the3588 prophet4396 of575 Nazareth3478 of Galilee.1056

11 眾人說:「這是加利利拿撒勒的先知耶穌。」

12 And2532 Jesus2424 went1525 into1519 the3588 temple2411 of God,2316 and2532 cast out1544 all3956 them that sold4453 and2532 bought59 in1722 the3588 temple,2411 and2532 overthrew2690 the3588 tables5132 of the3588 moneychangers,2855 and2532 the3588 seats2515 of them that sold4453 doves,4058

12 耶穌進了神的殿,趕出殿裏一切作買賣的人,推倒兌[money]之人的桌子,和賣鴿子之人的椅子[seats]

13 And2532 said3004 unto them,846 It is written,1125 My3450 house3624 shall be called2564 the house3624 of prayer;4335 but1161 ye5210 have made4160 it846 a den4693 of thieves.3027

13 對他們說:「經上記著說:『我的殿必稱為禱告的殿』;你們倒已使[have made]它成為賊窩了。」

14 And2532 the blind5185 and2532 the lame5560 came4334 to him846 in1722 the3588 temple;2411 and2532 he healed2323 them.846

14 在殿裏有瞎子、瘸子到耶穌跟前;他就治好了他們。

15 And1161 when the3588 chief priests749 and2532 scribes1122 saw1492 the3588 wonderful things2297 that3739 he did,4160 and2532 the3588 children3816 crying2896 in1722 the3588 temple,2411 and2532 saying,3004 Hosanna5614 to the3588 son5207 of David;1138 they were sore displeased,23

15 祭司長和文士看見耶穌所行的奇事,又見孩子[children]在殿裏喊著說:「和散那歸於大衛的子孫;」就甚不歡喜[displeased]

16 And2532 said2036 unto him,846 Hearest191 thou what5101 these3778 say?3004 And2532 Jesus2424 saith3004 unto them,846 Yea;3483 have ye never3763 read,314 Out of1537 the mouth4750 of babes3516 and2532 sucklings2337 thou hast perfected2675 praise136

16 對他說:「這些人所說的,你聽見了嗎?」耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「是的;經上說『你從嬰孩和吃奶的口中完全了讚美』的話,你們沒有念過嗎?」

17 And2532 he left2641 them,846 and went1831 out1854 of the3588 city4172 into1519 Bethany;963 and2532 he lodged835 there.1563

17 於是[he]離開他們,出城到伯大尼去;他便[and he]在那裏住宿。

18 Now1161 in the morning4405 as he returned1877 into1519 the3588 city,4172 he hungered.3983

18 早晨回城的時候,他餓了。

19 And2532 when he saw1492 a3391 fig tree4808 in1909 the3588 way,3598 he came2064 to1909 it,846 and2532 found2147 nothing3762 thereon,1722 846 but1508 leaves5444 only,3440 and2532 said3004 unto it,846 Let no fruit2590 grow1096 on1537 thee4675 henceforward3371 forever.1519 165 And2532 presently3916 the3588 fig tree4808 withered away.3583

19 那時,他[when he]看見路旁有一棵無花果樹,就走到跟前,在樹上找不著甚麼,不過有葉子,就對樹說:「從今以後,你永不結果子。」那無花果樹就當下[presently]枯乾了。

20 And2532 when the3588 disciples3101 saw1492 it, they marveled,2296 saying,3004 How4459 soon3916 is the3588 fig tree4808 withered away!3583

20 門徒看見了,便希奇說:「無花果樹枯乾了,何其快呢[How soon is the fig tree withered away]。」

21 1161 Jesus2424 answered611 and said2036 unto them,846 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 If1437 ye have2192 faith,4102 and2532 doubt1252 not,3361 ye shall not3756 only3440 do4160 this3588 which is done to the3588 fig tree,4808 but235 also if2579 ye shall say2036 unto this5129 mountain,3735 Be thou removed,142 and2532 be thou cast906 into1519 the3588 sea;2281 it shall be done.1096

21 耶穌回答他們[them]說:「我實在告訴你們:『你們若有信心,不疑惑,不但能行無花果樹上所行的事,就是對這座山說:你挪開此地,投在海裏;也必成就。』

22 And2532 all things,3956 whatsoever3745 302 ye shall ask154 in1722 prayer,4335 believing,4100 ye shall receive.2983

22 你們禱告,無論求甚麼,只要信,就必得著。」

23 And2532 when he846 was come2064 into1519 the3588 temple,2411 the3588 chief priests749 and2532 the3588 elders4245 of the3588 people2992 came4334 unto him846 as he was teaching,1321 and said,3004 By1722 what4169 authority1849 doest4160 thou these things?5023 and2532 who5101 gave1325 thee4671 this5026 authority?1849

23 耶穌進了殿,正教訓人的時候,祭司長和民間的長老來對[came unto]他說:「你仗著甚麼權柄作這些事?給你這權柄的是誰呢?」

24 And1161 Jesus2424 answered611 and said2036 unto them,846 I also2504 will ask2065 you5209 one1520 thing,3056 which3739 if1437 ye tell2036 me,3427 I in likewise2504 will tell2046 you5213 by1722 what4169 authority1849 I do4160 these things.5023

24 耶穌回答他們[them]說:「我也要問你們一句話,你們若告訴我,我就告訴你們我仗著甚麼權柄作這些事。

25 The3588 baptism908 of John,2491 whence4159 was2258 it? from1537 heaven,3772 or2228 of1537 men? And444 1161 they3588 reasoned1260 with3844 themselves,1438 saying,3004 If1437 we shall say,2036 From1537 heaven;3772 he will say2046 unto us,2254 Why1302 did ye not3756 then3767 believe4100 him?846

25 約翰的浸禮是從哪裏來的?是從天上來的?是從人間來的呢?」他們彼此商議說:「我們若說『從天上來』;他必對我們說:『這樣,你們為甚麼不信他呢?』

26 But1161 if1437 we shall say,2036 Of1537 men;444 we fear5399 the3588 people;3793 for1063 all3956 hold2192 John2491 as5613 a prophet.4396

26 [But]我們[we]若說『從人間來』;我們又怕百姓;因為眾人[all]都以約翰為先知。」

27 And2532 they answered611 Jesus,2424 and said,2036 We cannot tell.1492 3756 And2532 he846 said5346 unto them,846 Neither3761 tell3004 I1473 you5213 by1722 what4169 authority1849 I do4160 these things.5023

27 他們[they]於是回答耶穌說:「我們道不出來[cannot tell]。」耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「我也不告訴你們我仗著甚麼權柄作這些事。」

28 But1161 what5101 think1380 ye?5213 A certain man444 had2192 two1417 sons;5043 and2532 he came4334 to the3588 first,4413 and said,2036 Son,5043 go5217 work2038 today4594 in1722 my3450 vineyard.290

28 但你們的意見如何[But what think ye]?一個人有兩個兒子;他來對大兒子說:『我兒,你今天到[my]葡萄園裏去作工。』

29 He3588 answered611 and said,2036 I will2309 not: 3756 but1161 afterward5305 he repented,3338 and went.565

29 他回答說:『我不去』;以後[he][but]懊悔,就去了。

30 And2532 he came4334 to the3588 second,1208 and said2036 likewise.5615 And1161 he3588 answered611 and said,2036 I1473 go, sir: 2962 and2532 went565 not.3756

30 又來對小兒子也是這樣說。他回答說:『父啊,我去』;他卻不去。

31 Whether5101 of1537 them3588 twain1417 did4160 the3588 will2307 of his father? They3962 say3004 unto him,846 The3588 first.4413 Jesus2424 saith3004 unto them,846 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 That3754 the3588 publicans5057 and2532 the3588 harlots4204 go into the kingdom of God before4254 1519 3588 932 2316 you.5209

31 這兩個兒子,那一個是遵行他父的命呢[Whether of them twain did the will of his father]?」他們對他[unto him]說:「大兒子。」耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「我實在告訴你們:『稅吏和娼妓倒比你們先進神的國。』

32 For1063 John2491 came2064 unto4314 you5209 in1722 the way3598 of righteousness,1343 and2532 ye believed4100 him846 not;3756 but1161 the3588 publicans5057 and2532 the3588 harlots4204 believed4100 him: 846 and1161 ye,5210 when ye had seen1492 it, repented3338 not3756 afterward,5305 that ye might believe4100 him.846

32 因為約翰遵著義路到你們這裏來,你們卻不信他;稅吏和娼妓倒信他。你們看見了,後來還是不懊悔去信他。

33 Hear191 another243 parable: 3850 There was2258 a certain5100 householder,3617 which3748 planted5452 a vineyard,290 and2532 hedged it round about,4060 846 5418 and2532 digged3736 a winepress3025 in1722 it,846 and2532 built3618 a tower,4444 and2532 let it out1554 846 to husbandmen,1092 and2532 went into a far country: 589

33 「你們再聽一個比喻:有個家主栽了一個葡萄園,周圍圈上籬笆,裏面挖了一個壓酒池,蓋了一座樓,租給園戶,就往遠方[far country]去了;

34 And1161 when3753 the3588 time2540 of the3588 fruit2590 drew near,1448 he sent649 his848 servants1401 to4314 the3588 husbandmen,1092 that they might receive2983 the3588 fruits2590 of it.846

34 收果子的時候近了,[he]就打發[his]僕人到園戶那裏去,他們好[that they might]園裏的[of it]果子。

35 And2532 the3588 husbandmen1092 took2983 his846 servants,1401 and beat1194 one,3739 3303 and1161 killed615 another,3739 and1161 stoned3036 another.3739

35 園戶拿住僕人,打了一個,殺了一個,用石頭打死一個。

36 Again,3825 he sent649 other243 servants1401 more4119 than the3588 first: 4413 and2532 they did4160 unto them846 likewise.5615

36 主人又打發別的僕人去,比先前更多;園戶還是照樣待他們。

37 But1161 last5305 of all he sent649 unto4314 them846 his848 son,5207 saying,3004 They will reverence1788 my3450 son.5207

37 末了園主[last of all he]打發他的兒子到他們那裏去,[saying]:『他們必尊敬我的兒子。』

38 But1161 when the3588 husbandmen1092 saw1492 the3588 son,5207 they said2036 among1722 themselves,1438 This3778 is2076 the3588 heir;2818 come,1205 let us kill615 him,846 and2532 let us seize on2722 his846 inheritance.2817

38 不料,園戶看見他兒子,他們[they]就彼此說:『這是承受產業的;來吧,我們殺他,強佔[seize on]他的產業。』

39 And2532 they caught2983 him,846 and2532 cast1544 him out1854 of the3588 vineyard,290 and2532 slew615 him.

39 他們就拿住他,把他[him]推出葡萄園外,殺了。

40 When3752 the3588 lord2962 therefore3767 of the3588 vineyard290 cometh,2064 what5101 will he do4160 unto those1565 husbandmen?1092

40 既是這樣[therefore],園主來的時候要怎樣處治那些[those]園戶呢?」

41 They say3004 unto him,846 He will miserably2560 destroy622 those846 wicked men,2556 and2532 will let out1554 his vineyard290 unto other243 husbandmen,1092 which3748 shall render591 him846 the3588 fruits2590 in1722 their846 seasons.2540

41 他們對他[unto him]說:「園主[He]要下毒手除滅那些惡人,將他的[his]葡萄園另租給那按著時候交果子的園戶。」

42 Jesus2424 saith3004 unto them,846 Did ye never3763 read314 in1722 the3588 Scriptures,1124 The stone3037 which3739 the3588 builders3618 rejected,593 the same3778 is become1096 the1519 head2776 of the corner: 1137 this3778 is1096 the Lord's doing,3844 2962 and2532 it is2076 marvelous2298 in1722 our2257 eyes?3788

42 耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「聖經[scriptures]上寫著:『匠人所棄的石頭,成為[is become]房角的頭塊石頭;這是主所作的,在我們眼中看為希奇。』這經你們沒有念過嗎?

43 Therefore1223 5124 say3004 I unto you,5213 The3588 kingdom932 of God2316 shall be taken142 from575 you,5216 and2532 given1325 to a nation1484 bringing forth4160 the3588 fruits2590 thereof.846

43 所以我告訴你們:『神的國必從你們奪去,賜給那能結果子的[nation]。』

44 And2532 whosoever shall fall4098 on1909 this5126 stone3037 shall be broken: 4917 but1161 on1909 whomsoever3739 302 it shall fall,4098 it will grind him to powder.3039 846

44 誰掉在這石頭上,必要跌碎;這石頭掉在誰的身上,就要把誰砸得稀爛。」

45 And2532 when the3588 chief priests749 and2532 Pharisees5330 had heard191 his846 parables,3850 they perceived1097 that3754 he spake3004 of4012 them.846

45 祭司長和法利賽人聽見他的比喻,就看出他是指著他們說的。

46 But2532 when they sought2212 to lay hands2902 on him,846 they feared5399 the3588 multitude,3793 because1894 they took2192 him846 for5613 a prophet.4396

46 他們[But]想要捉拿他,只是怕眾人,因為眾人以他為先知。
