公山弗擾以費畔，召，子欲往。子路不說，曰：末之也已，何必公山氏之之也。子曰：夫召我者而豈徒哉？如有用我者，吾其為東周乎？Gongshan Furao held Bi in revolt and summoned the Master, and the Master wanted to go. Zilu was displeased and said: If there is nowhere to go, then do not go. Why must you go to Gongshan? The Master said: Would the one who summons me do so for nothing? If anyone would employ me, could I not make a Zhou in the east?
白Plain Chinese
公山弗扰据费邑反叛，派人召孔子，孔子想去，子路不高兴，说没有地方去也就罢了，何必到公山氏那里。孔子说，召自己难道是没有用意，若真有人任用自己，便可以在东方复兴周道。
Draft plain-Chinese rendering following Zhu Xi; it will be checked when the chapter is covered.

Our base text is Zhu Xi's Collected Commentaries (above). Here are other commentaries side by side: for old commentaries, the first line of the sub-commentary with a link to the woodblock scan; for modern editions, one short quoted translation for comparison. The “compared with Zhu Xi” notes are written by Yikonglu, not quoted.

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | 史事 | word sense | uncertain | 杨因左传冲突明记只能存疑；朱以公山弗扰与阳货据费而叛解并以终未往说明。不得将会往邀聘当已证实。 |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以公山据费叛季氏、召孔子而孔子有行道之意，东周取东方兴周道；钱对召时史料歧说保留，不能把初欲往写成已经任职。 |
