But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree— some of the people of Israel— have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree.

若有几根枝子被折下来，你这野橄榄得接在其中，一同得着橄榄根的肥汁，

若有几根枝子被折下来，你这野橄榄枝接上去，同享橄榄根的肥汁，

如果橄榄树上有几条枝子被折了下来，你这野橄榄枝被接了上去，得以汲取橄榄树根供应的汁浆，你就不可向折下来的枝子夸口。

如果把几根树枝折下来，让你这野橄榄可以接上去，一同分享那橄榄树根的汁浆，

但如果有些树枝被折下来，而你这野橄榄枝被接在其上，并且一同有份于那橄榄树根的丰富养分，

若有幾根枝子被折下來，你這野橄欖得以接在上頭，一同有分於橄欖樹之肥汁的根，

但如果有些樹枝被折下來，而你這野橄欖枝被接在其上，並且一同有份於那橄欖樹根的豐富養分，

若數枝見折、爾素為野欖者得接於其中、共與於橄欖之根與腴、

數枝見折、爾素為野欖、接枝於橄欖、分其根之盛、

若數枝見折、爾素為野油果樹、見接於其中、同賴油果樹之根、同得其汁、

即有數枝被折、而爾本屬野欖、倖蒙接入其中、且得分潤厥根之膏澤；

If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,

Some of the natural branches have been broken off. You are a wild olive branch. But you have been joined to the tree with the other branches. Now you enjoy the life- giving sap of the olive tree root.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree,

Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, though a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the cultivated olive tree,

Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called“ uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts.In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope.But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.

I, the Lord, once called them a thriving olive tree, beautiful to see and full of good fruit. But now I have sent the fury of their enemies to burn them with fire, leaving them charred and broken.

He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.

And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.

But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.

I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit.

You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.

This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away— all who have been called by the Lord our God.”

Once upon a time the trees decided to choose a king. First they said to the olive tree,‘ Be our king!’But the olive tree refused, saying,‘ Should I quit producing the olive oil that blesses both God and people, just to wave back and forth over the trees?’

If even a tenth— a remnant— survive, it will be invaded again and burned. But as a terebinth or oak tree leaves a stump when it is cut down, so Israel’s stump will be a holy seed.”

The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy.

These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth.

We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it.Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Look down from heaven and see our plight. Take care of this grapevinethat you yourself have planted, this son you have raised for yourself.For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies. May they perish at the sight of your frown.

And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world— from east and west— and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.But many Israelites— those for whom the Kingdom was prepared— will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

It is a land of wheat and barley; of grapevines, fig trees, and pomegranates; of olive oil and honey.

And I see two olive trees, one on each side of the bowl.”

“ And this is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Jerusalem are like grapevines growing among the trees of the forest. Since they are useless, I have thrown them on the fire to be burned.And I will see to it that if they escape from one fire, they will fall into another. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord.And I will make the land desolate because my people have been unfaithful to me. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

“ You and I are Jews by birth, not‘ sinners’ like the Gentiles.

Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.

The sailors were awestruck by the Lord’s great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him.
