Young's Literal Translation
Then
Jesus
began to speak to them in parables
: “
A man planted a vineyard .
He
put a wall
around it
, dug
a
wine
vat
, and built a watchtower.
Then
he
rented
it out to some
tenants
and went away
on
a
journey.
And
he
began to speak to them in similes
: `
A man planted a vineyard ,
and
put a hedge
around, and
digged
an
under-winevat
, and built a tower,
and
gave
it out to husbandmen,
and went abroad;
At
harvest
time,
he sent a servant to
the tenants
to
collect
his
share
of
the fruit of the vineyard .
and
he sent unto
the
husbandmen
at
the
due
time
a servant ,
that
from
the husbandmen
he
may
receive
from
the fruit of the vineyard ,
But
they seized
the
servant
, beat him, and sent
him away empty -handed
.
and
they, having
taken
him,
did
severely
beat `
him '
, and did
send
him away empty.
Then
he sent them another servant, and they struck
him over
the head and treated
him
shamefully
.
`And
again
he sent unto
them another servant, and at
that
one
having
cast
stones,
they wounded
`
him '
in
the head ,
and sent
away
--
dishonoured
.
He sent still
another, and this
one they killed .
He
sent
many others ;
some they
beat
and others
they
killed
.
`And
again
he sent another, and that
one they killed ;
and
many others ,
some beating,
and some
killing
.
Finally,
having one beloved
son ,
he sent him to
them .
‘
They will respect
my son ,’
he
said.
`
Having yet
therefore
one son --
his
beloved
--
he sent also
him unto
them last,
saying
--
They will reverence
my son ;
But
the
tenants
said to
one
another,
‘
This is the heir .
Come, let
us
kill him, and the inheritance will
be
ours.’
and
those
husbandmen
said among
themselves
--
This is the heir ,
come, we
may
kill him, and ours
shall
be
the inheritance ;
So
they
seized
the
son,
killed
him, and threw
him out
of
the vineyard.
and
having
taken
him, they
did
kill,
and cast
`
him '
forth
without
the vineyard.
What then
will
the owner
of the vineyard do? He will come and kill
those
tenants
, and will give the vineyard to others.
`
What therefore
shall
the lord
of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy
the
husbandmen
, and will give the vineyard to others.
Have
you
never
read
this Scripture
: ‘The
stone the builders rejected has
become the cornerstone.
And
this Writing
did
ye
not
read
: A
stone that
the builders rejected ,
it
did
become the head
of
a
corner:
This
is
from the Lord, and it is marvelous
in our eyes ’?”
from the Lord was
this
, and it is wonderful
in our eyes .'
At
this
, the leaders
sought
to
arrest
Jesus
, for they knew that He
had
spoken
this
parable
against them .
But
fearing
the crowd
, they
left Him and
went away .
And
they
were
seeking
to
lay
hold
on
him
, and
they
feared
the multitude
, for they knew that against them he
spake
the simile
, and
having
left him ,
they
went away ;
Later,
they sent
some
of the Pharisees and Herodians to
catch
Jesus
in His
words.
and
they send
unto
him
certain
of the Pharisees and of
the
Herodians ,
that
they
may
ensnare
him
in discourse,
“Teacher,”
they said
, “
we know
that You
are
honest
and seek
favor
from
no
one .
Indeed
, You
are
impartial
and
teach
the way
of God
in accordance
with
the
truth .
Is it lawful to pay
taxes
to Caesar or not? Should
we pay
them
or not? ”
and
they having
come
, say
to
him,
`Teacher,
we have
known
that thou
art
true,
and thou
art
not
caring
for
any
one, for
thou
dost
not
look
to
the face
of men,
but
in truth the
way
of
God
dost
teach;
is it lawful to give
tribute
to Caesar or not? may
we give,
or may
we
not give
? '
But
Jesus
saw
through
their hypocrisy and
said, “
Why are
you
testing
Me? Bring Me a denarius
to
inspect.”
And
he,
knowing
their hypocrisy ,
said to
them
, `
Why me do
ye
tempt
? bring me a denary,
that
I
may
see;'
So
they brought it
, and He asked
them, “
Whose image
is this ?
And whose
inscription? ”
“Caesar’s,”
they answered.
and
they brought, and he saith
to
them, `
Whose `
is '
this image,
and the
inscription? '
and
they said
to
him,
`Caesar's;'
Then
Jesus told
them, “
Give to Caesar what
is
Caesar’s
, and to God what
is
God’s.”
And they marveled
at Him.
and
Jesus answering
said
to
them, `
Give back
the
things
of
Caesar
to Caesar, and the
things
of
God
to God ;'
and they did
wonder
at him.
Then
the Sadducees, who say there is no
resurrection
, came
to
Jesus
and questioned Him :
And
the Sadducees come
unto
him
, who say there is not
a
rising
again
, and they
questioned him ,
saying,
“
Teacher, Moses wrote for
us that if a
man’s
brother dies
and leaves
a wife but
no children, the
man
is
to
marry
his brother’s
widow
and raise up offspring
for
him
.
`
Teacher, Moses wrote to
us ,
that if any
one's
brother may
die,
and may
leave
a wife ,
and
may
leave
no children, that
his brother
may
take
his
wife,
and raise up seed
to
his
brother
.
Now
there were seven brothers .
The first one
married
and died
, leaving
no children.
`
There were then
seven brothers ,
and
the first took
a
wife,
and dying
, he
left
no seed;
Then
the second one
married
the
widow
, but
he
also
died
and left no
children.
And the third did
likewise.
and
the second took
her
, and died,
neither
left he
seed,
and the third in
like
manner,
In
this
way,
none
of
the seven left
any
children.
And last of all ,
the woman died.
and
the seven took
her,
and left
no
seed,
last of all died
also
the woman ;
In the resurrection
, then, whose
wife
will
she be ?
For all
seven were
married
to
her .”
in the rising
again
, then, whenever
they
may
rise,
of
which
of
them
shall
she be wife
--
for the
seven had
her as
wife?'
Jesus said to them, “Aren’t
you
mistaken,
because
you
do not know
the Scriptures
or
the power of God?
And
Jesus answering
said to them, `
Do ye
not because
of
this
go
astray,
not
knowing
the Writings,
nor
the power of God?
When the dead rise
, they will
neither marry nor be
given in marriage .
Instead
, they
will
be
like
the
angels
in heaven
.
for
when they
may
rise
out
of
the dead, they neither marry nor are
they
given in marriage, but
are
as
messengers
who
are
in the
heavens
.
But
concerning the dead rising
, have you
not read about
the
burning
bush
in the Book of Moses, how God told
him, ‘
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ’?
`And
concerning the dead, that
they
rise:
have ye
not read in the Book of Moses (at
The
Bush)
, how God spake
to
him, saying,
I `
am '
the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ;
He is not the God of the
dead, but of the
living. You
are
badly
mistaken!”
he is not the God of dead men
, but a
God
of living men;
ye
then
go
greatly
astray
. '
Now
one of the scribes had
come up
and
heard their
debate.
Noticing
how
well
Jesus
had
answered
them, he asked
Him, “
Which commandment
is the most
important
of all? ”
And
one of the scribes having
come near,
having
heard them disputing
, knowing
that
he answered
them
well,
questioned
him, `
Which is the first
command
of all? '
Jesus replied,
“This
is
the most
important:
‘
Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One .
and
Jesus answered
him
--
`
The first
of
all
the
commands
`is',
Hear ,
O Israel, the Lord is
our God, the Lord is one ;
Love the Lord your
God with
all your
heart and with
all
your
soul and with
all your
mind
and with
all your
strength .’
and
thou
shalt
love the Lord thy
God out
of
all thy
heart ,
and out
of
thy
soul ,
and out
of
all thine
understanding,
and out
of
all thy
strength --
this
`is'
the
first
command;
The second is this :
‘
Love your
neighbor as yourself.’
No
other
commandment
is
greater than these. ”
and
the second `
is '
like
`it',
this ,
Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbor as thyself;
--
greater than these there
is
no
other
command
. '
“Right
, Teacher, ”
the
scribe
replied.
“You
have
stated
correctly
that God
is One and there is no
other but Him,
And
the
scribe
said
to
him
, `Well,
Teacher, in
truth
thou
hast
spoken
that there
is one God,
and there is none
other but He;
and to love Him with
all your
heart and with
all your
understanding and with
all your
strength, and to love your
neighbor as yourself
, which
is more important
than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. ”
and to love Him out
of
all the
heart ,
and out
of
all the
understanding ,
and out
of
all the
soul,
and
out
of
all
the
strength, and to love one's
neighbor as one's
self
, is more than all the
whole
burnt -
offerings and the
sacrifices. '
When
Jesus saw
that the
man
had
answered wisely
, He
said, “You
are
not far from the kingdom
of God .”
And no one dared
to
question Him any
further
.
And
Jesus ,
having
seen
him
that he
answered with
understanding
, said to
him
, `Thou
art
not far from the reign
of God ;'
and no one any
more
durst
question him.
While
Jesus was
teaching in the temple courts
, He
asked,
“
How can
the scribes say
that the Christ is the
Son of David?
And
Jesus answering
said,
teaching in the temple, `
How say
the scribes that the Christ is son of David?
Speaking
by
the Holy Spirit, David
himself
declared:
‘
The Lord said to my Lord, “
Sit at
My right hand until
I put
Your
enemies under
Your
feet.”’
for
David
himself
said
in
the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou
on
My right hand ,
till
I place
thine
enemies --
thy
footstool;
David himself calls
Him ‘
Lord .’
So
how
can
He be
David’s
son? ”
And the large
crowd
listened
to
Him with
delight.
therefore
David himself saith
of
him Lord ,
and
whence
is
he his
son? '
And the great
multitude
were
hearing
him gladly,
In His teaching Jesus
also
said
, “Watch
out
for
the scribes .
They
like
to
walk
around
in long robes ,
to receive
greetings
in the marketplaces
,
and
he
was
saying
to
them
in his teaching, `Beware
of
the scribes ,
who
will
in long robes to walk,
and
love
salutations
in the market-places
,
and to
have
the
chief
seats in the synagogues and the
places
of
honor
at
banquets.
and first
seats in the synagogues ,
and first
couches
in
suppers,
They
defraud
widows of
their
houses, and for a show
make
lengthy
prayers .
These men
will
receive greater
condemnation
. ”
who
are
devouring
the
widows '
houses, and for a pretense
are
making
long
prayers ;
these shall
receive more
abundant
judgment
. '
As
Jesus was
sitting
opposite
the treasury, He
watched
the crowd
putting
money
into it.
And many rich people
put
in large
amounts.
And
Jesus having
sat
down
over-against
the treasury, was
beholding
how
the multitude
do
put
brass
into the
treasury,
and many rich were
putting
in much,
Then
one
poor widow came
and
put in two small
copper
coins
, which amounted
to
a
small
fraction
of
a denarius
.
and
having
come,
a
poor widow did
put in two mites
, which are
a farthing
.
Jesus
called His disciples to Him
and
said
, “Truly
I tell
you, this poor widow has
put more than all the
others
into the treasury .
And
having
called near
his disciples ,
he
saith
to them
, `Verily
I say
to
you, that
this poor widow hath
put in
more than all those
putting
into the treasury ;
For they
all contributed
out of their surplus
, but she out of her poverty
has
put
in
all she had to
live
on
. ”
for all ,
out of their abundance
, put
in,
but she ,
out of her want,
all that
she had put
in
--
all
her
living
. '
