【可12:13】 后来他们打发几个法利赛人和几个希律党的人,到耶稣那里,要就着他的话陷害他。
Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words.
【可12:14】 他们来了,就对他说,夫子,我们知道你是诚实的,什么人你都不徇情面。因为你不看人的外貌,乃是诚诚实实传神的道。纳税给该撒可以不可以。
They came to him and said, 'Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?
【可12:15】 我们该纳不该纳。耶稣知道他们的假意,就对他们说,你们为什么试探我。拿一个银钱来给我看。
Should we pay or shouldn't we?' But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. 'Why are you trying to trap me?' he asked. 'Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.'
【可12:16】 他们就拿了来。耶稣说,这像和这号是谁的。他们说,是该撒的。
They brought the coin, and he asked them, 'Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?' 'Caesar's,' they replied.
【可12:17】 耶稣说,该撒的物当归给该撒,神的物当归给神。他们就很希奇他。
Then Jesus said to them, 'Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.' And they were amazed at him.
