Līdzība par ļaunajiem vīnkopjiem
(Mt 21:33–46Lk 20:9–19)1 Viņš sāka uz tiem runāt līdzībās: “Kāds cilvēks iestādīja vīnadārzu, to iežogoja, ierīkoja vīnspaidu, uzcēla torni un izdeva dārzu vīnkopjiem, bet pats devās svešumā. 2 Kad nāca laiks, viņš sūtīja pie vīnkopjiem kalpu, lai tas saņemtu daļu no vīnadārza augļiem. 3 Bet viņi to sagūstīja un sasita, un sūtīja prom tukšā. 4 Tad viņš sūtīja atkal citu kalpu pie tiem; arī viņu tie piekāva un pazemoja. 5 Un viņš sūtīja vēl citu, un to viņi nonāvēja. Un vēl daudzus citus – dažus tie piekāva, bet citus nonāvēja. 6 Viņam vēl bija palicis mīļotais dēls; to viņš sūtīja pēdējo, sacīdams: no mana dēla tie taču kaunēsies. 7 Bet vīnkopji sacīja cits uz citu: šis ir mantinieks! Ejam, nonāvējam viņu, tad mantojums piederēs mums. 8 Un tie viņu sagrāba un nonāvēja, un izmeta ārā no vīnadārza. 9 Ko nu vīnadārza saimnieks darīs? Viņš nāks un nonāvēs vīnkopjus un izdos vīnadārzu citiem. 10 Vai tad jūs neesat lasījuši Rakstos? – Akmens, ko nama cēlāji atmetuši, ir kļuvis par stūrakmeni; 11 tas ir Kunga darbs un brīnums mūsu acīs.” 12 Tie gribēja viņu sagūstīt, bet baidījās no ļaudīm. Tie noprata, ka viņš šo līdzību bija stāstījis par viņiem. Un, viņu atstājuši, tie aizgāja.
Par nodevu maksāšanu cēzaram
(Mt 22:15–22Lk 20:20–26)13 Un tie sūtīja pie viņa dažus farizejus un Hēroda piekritējus, lai tie viņu pieķertu kādā vārdā. 14 Tie nāca un viņam sacīja: “Skolotāj, mēs zinām, ka tu esi patiess un negribi nevienam izdabāt, jo tu neuzlūko cilvēka ārieni, bet māci patiesi Dieva ceļu. Vai ir atļauts cēzaram dot nodevas vai ne? Vai lai dodam vai nedodam?” 15 Zinādams, ka tie izliekas, viņš tiem sacīja: “Kādēļ jūs mani izaicināt? Dodiet man vienu denāriju, es gribu to redzēt.” 16 Tie to pasniedza. Un viņš tiem jautāja: “Kā attēls šis un kā uzraksts?” Un tie atbildēja: “Cēzara.” 17 Tad Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Dodiet cēzaram, kas cēzaram pieder, un Dievam, kas Dievam pieder.” Un tie brīnījās par viņu.
Saduķeji izjautā Jēzu par augšāmcelšanos
(Mt 22:23–33Lk 20:27–40)18 Un saduķeji, kas noliedza augšāmcelšanos, nāca pie viņa un viņu izjautāja: 19 “Skolotāj, Mozus mums ir rakstījis: ja kādam mirst brālis un atstāj sievu bez bērna, tad lai viņa brālis apņem šo sievu un dod pēcnācējus savam brālim. 20 Bija septiņi brāļi; pirmais apņēma sievu un mirstot neatstāja pēcnācējus. 21 Otrais viņu apņēma un nomira, arī neatstādams pēcnācējus; un tāpat trešais. 22 Neviens no tiem septiņiem neatstāja pēcnācējus. Beigās nomira arī sieva. 23 Tad nu augšāmcelšanās dienā, kad tie celsies augšā, kuram no tiem šī sieva piederēs? Jo visiem septiņiem tā bijusi sieva.” 24 Un Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Vai ne tādēļ jūs maldāties, ka nepazīstat ne Rakstus, ne Dieva spēku? 25 Kad tie celsies augšām no mirušajiem, tie nedz precēs, nedz tiks precēti, bet būs kā eņģeļi debesīs. 26 Bet par mirušajiem, ka tie taps uzmodināti, vai jūs Mozus grāmatā neesat lasījuši, kā Dievs pie ērkšķu krūma viņu uzrunāja: es esmu Ābrahāma Dievs un Īzaka Dievs, un Jēkaba Dievs? – 27 Dievs nav mirušo, bet dzīvo Dievs. Jūs stipri maldāties.”
Augstākais bauslis
(Mt 22:34–40Lk 10:25–28)28 Kāds rakstu mācītājs pienācis klausījās viņus strīdamies. Dzirdēdams, cik viņš tiem labi atbild, tas jautāja viņam: “Kurš bauslis ir augstākais?” 29 Jēzus atbildēja: “Augstākais ir: klausies, Israēl, Kungs, mūsu Dievs, ir vienīgais Kungs . 30 Un mīli Kungu, savu Dievu, no visas sirds un no visas dvēseles, un ar visu prātu, un ar visu spēku. 31 Otrs ir šis: mīli savu tuvāko kā sevi pašu . – Par šiem augstāka baušļa nav.” 32 Rakstu mācītājs viņam sacīja: “Pareizi, Skolotāj, tas ir tiesa, ko tu sacīji: viņš ir vienīgais, un cita nav kā vien viņš; 33 un: to mīlēt no visas sirds un ar visu prātu, un ar visu spēku un savu tuvāko mīlēt kā sevi pašu – tas ir vairāk nekā visi sadedzināmie un citi upuri.” 34 Un Jēzus, redzēdams, ka tas gudri bija atbildējis, viņam sacīja: “Tu neesi tālu no Dieva valstības.” Un neviens vairs neuzdrošinājās viņu izjautāt.
Par Kristu – Dāvida dēlu un Kungu
(Mt 22:41–46Lk 20:41–44)35 Mācīdams templī, Jēzus runāja: “Kādēļ rakstu mācītāji saka, ka Kristus ir Dāvida dēls? 36 Pats Dāvids ir sacījis Svētā Gara spēkā:
Kungs sacīja manam Kungam:
sēdies pie manas labās rokas,
līdz es tavus ienaidniekus nolieku tev par kājsolu.
37 Pats Dāvids sauc viņu par Kungu; kā viņš var būt Dāvida dēls?” Un lielais ļaužu pūlis viņā labprāt klausījās.
Jēzus par rakstu mācītājiem
(Mt 23:1–36Lk 20:45–47)38 Un viņš mācīdams runāja: “Sargieties no rakstu mācītājiem, kam patīk garos tērpos staigāt un tirgus laukumos tikt sveicinātiem, 39 un sinagogās un mielastos ieņemt goda vietas. 40 Tie aprij atraitņu namus un, lai izrādītos, ilgi lūdz Dievu – tie saņems bargāku sodu!”
Nabadzīgās atraitnes ziedojums
(Lk 21:1–4)41 Un Jēzus, sēdēdams iepretim ziedojumu traukam, vēroja, kā ļaudis met naudu traukā. Daudzi bagātie meta daudz. 42 Bet nāca nabadzīga atraitne un iemeta divas artavas – tas ir viens kvadrants. 43 Un, pieaicinājis savus mācekļus, viņš tiem sacīja: “Patiesi es jums saku: šī nabadzīgā atraitne ir ziedojusi vairāk nekā visi pārējie, kas meta ziedojumu traukā. 44 Jo tie visi ir ziedojuši no savas pārpilnības, bet viņa no savas trūcības ziedoja visu, kas tai bija, – visu savu iztiku.”
1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it , and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. 2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they caught him , and beat him, and sent him away empty. 4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. 6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. 8 And they took him, and killed him , and cast him out of the vineyard. 9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
13 ¶ And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not? 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it . 16 And they brought it . And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s. 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
18 ¶ Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him , and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
28 ¶ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is , Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 ¶ And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? 36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 ¶ And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, 39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: 40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41 ¶ And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
