1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? 6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was . 8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. 11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him . What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? 16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it , they said, God forbid. 17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? 18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 ¶ And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. 20 And they watched him , and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. 21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any , but teachest the way of God truly: 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no? 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s. 25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s. 26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 ¶ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, 28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 ¶ Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all . 41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son? 42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 ¶ Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
1 Un notika, kad Viņš kādā dienā Templī mācīja ļaudis un sludināja evaņģēliju, Viņam piestājās augstie priesteri un rakstu mācītāji kopā ar vecajiem 2 un jautāja Viņam: "Saki mums, ar kādām tiesībām Tu to dari, vai kas Tevi uz to ir pilnvarojis?" 3 Bet Viņš tiem atteica: "Arī Es jums vienu vārdu vaicāšu: 4 sakait man, Jāņa kristība - vai tā bija no debesīm vai no cilvēkiem?" 5 Bet tie savā starpā sāka spriest: "Ja mēs teiksim: no debesīm, - Viņš sacīs: kāpēc tad jūs viņam neticējāt? 6 Bet, ja mēs teiksim: no cilvēkiem, - visa tauta metīs uz mums akmeņus, jo viņa ir pārliecināta, ka Jānis ir pravietis." 7 Un tie atbildēja: "Mēs nezinām, no kurienes." 8 Tad Jēzus viņiem sacīja: "Tad arī Es jums nesaku, kā pilnvarā Es šīs lietas daru." 9 Bet ļaudīm Viņš sāka stāstīt šādu līdzību: "Kāds cilvēks stādīja vīnadārzu un izdeva to dārzniekiem, bet pats uz ilgāku laiku aizgāja dzīvot uz citurieni. 10 Kad bija pienācis laiks, viņš pie dārzniekiem sūtīja savu kalpu, lai viņi tam dotu no vīnadārza augļiem. Bet tie to sita un aizsūtīja tukšām rokām atpakaļ. 11 Tad viņš nosūtīja otru kalpu, bet arī šo viņi sita, apsmēja un sūtīja atpakaļ tukšā. 12 Vēl trešo viņš sūtīja. Bet arī šo tie sasita līdz asinīm un izmeta ārā. 13 Tad vīnadārza īpašnieks sacīja: ko man darīt? Es sūtīšu savu mīļo dēlu, varbūt tie viņu bīsies. 14 Bet dārznieki, to ieraudzījuši, sprieda savā starpā: šis ir tas mantinieks. Nokausim to, lai viņa mantojums nāk mūsu rokās. 15 Un viņi to izmeta ārā no vīnadārza un nokāva. Ko nu gan darīs viņiem vīnadārza īpašnieks? 16 Viņš nāks, nomaitās šos dārzniekus un vīnadārzu izdos citiem." Klausītāji sacīja: "To tik ne." 17 Bet Viņš tos uzlūkoja un sacīja: "Kā tad ir rakstīts: akmens, kuru namdari atmetuši, kļuvis par stūra akmeni. 18 Ikviens, kas uz to kritīs, sašķīdīs, bet, uz ko tas kritīs, to tas sadragās." 19 Bet rakstu mācītāji un augstie priesteri, kas saprata, ka Viņš līdzību bija teicis par viņiem, no tā brīža centās pielikt rokas pie Viņa. Bet tiem bija bailes no tautas. 20 Tad tie glūnēja uz Viņu un sūtīja izlūkus, kam vajadzēja izlikties nevainīgiem, lai tie Viņu pieķertu kādā vārdā un To varētu nodot valdībai un zemes soģa varai. 21 Tie griezās pie Viņa ar šādu jautājumu: "Mācītāj, mēs zinām, ka Tu runā un māci pareizi un negribi iztapt cilvēkiem, bet pēc patiesības māci Dieva ceļu. 22 Saki, vai mums ir brīv ķeizaram nodevas dot vai ne?" 23 Bet Viņš noprata viņu viltību un sacīja tiem: 24 "Parādait Man vienu denāriju! Kā attēls un uzraksts tam ir?" Viņi atbildēja: "Ķeizara." 25 Tad Viņš tiem atbildēja: "Tad nu dodiet ķeizaram, kas ķeizaram pieder, un Dievam, kas Dievam pieder!" 26 Tā viņiem neizdevās To noķert Viņa vārdos tautas priekšā, un, izbrīnījušies par Viņa atbildi, tie apklusa. 27 Bet pienāca vēl kādi no saduķejiem, kas noliedz augšāmcelšanos, un griezās pie Viņa, 28 jautādami: "Mācītāj, Mozus mums devis priekšrakstu: ja kam nomirst brālis, atstādams sievu, un viņam nav bērnu, tam jāapprec brāļa sieva, lai radītu savam brālim pēcnācējus. 29 Bija septiņi brāļi. Pirmais apprecējās, bet nomira bez bērniem, 30 tad viņa sievu apprecēja otrs. 31 Un pēc tam trešais, tāpat visi līdz septītam, un tie visi mira, neatstādami bērnu. 32 Beidzot nomira arī sieva. 33 Kā sieva nu viņa būs pie augšāmcelšanās, kad viņa ir bijusi par sievu visiem septiņiem?" 34 Jēzus viņam atbildēja: "Šinī dzīvē ļaudis precē un tiek precēti, 35 bet, kas tiks atrasti par cienīgiem ieiet viņā dzīvē un uzcelties no nāves, ne tie precēs, ne tiks precēti. 36 Un arī mirt tie vairs nevar, jo viņi ir līdzīgi eņģeļiem un ir Dieva bērni, būdami augšāmcelšanās bērni. 37 Bet, ka mirušie celsies augšām, uz to arī Mozus aizrādījis stāstā par ērkšķu krūmu, kur viņš Dievu sauc par Ābrahāma, Īzāka un Jēkaba Dievu. 38 Tātad Dievs nav mirušo, bet dzīvo Dievs, jo Viņa priekšā visi ir dzīvi." 39 Tad kādi no rakstu mācītājiem sacīja: "Mācītāj, Tu labi esi atbildējis!" 40 Un viņi vairs neko neuzdrošinājās Viņam jautāt. 41 Bet Viņš tiem teica: "Kā var sacīt, Kristus esot Dāvida dēls? 42 Jo Dāvids pats saka psalmu grāmatā: Tas Kungs sacīja uz manu Kungu: sēdies pie Manas labās rokas, 43 tiekāms Es Tavus ienaidniekus lieku par pameslu Tavām kājām. 44 Tātad Dāvids Viņu sauc par Kungu; kā tad Viņš var būt viņa dēls?" 45 Un, visiem ļaudīm dzirdot, Viņš sacīja Saviem mācekļiem: 46 "Sargaities no rakstu mācītājiem, jo tie mīl apkārt staigāt garos svārkos un saņemt sveicienus tirgus laukumos un viņiem patīk ieņemt goda vietas sinagogās un viesībās. 47 Viņi apēd atraitņu namus, aizbildinādamies ar savām garajām lūgšanām. Viņi dabūs daudz smagāku sodu!"
