1 Un Viņš tiem iesāka runāt līdzībās: "Kāds cilvēks stādīja vīnadārzu un ap to uzcēla sētu, un raka vīna spaidu, un uzcēla torni, un to izdeva vīna dārzniekiem, un aizceļoja. 2 Un, kad bija laiks, viņš sūtīja pie vīna dārzniekiem kādu kalpu saņemt no dārzniekiem savu tiesu vīnadārza augļu. 3 Bet viņi to ņēma un šauta un sūtīja tukšā atpakaļ. 4 Un viņš sūtīja atkal citu kalpu pie tiem; un to tie sasita un apsmēja. 5 Un viņš sūtīja vēl citu. Un šo tie nonāvēja. Un vēl daudz citus; un no tiem tie citus šauta un citus nonāvēja. 6 Un viņam bija vēl viens vienīgs dēls, ko viņš mīlēja, arī to viņš beidzot pie tiem sūtīja un sacīja: taču no mana dēla tie bīsies. 7 Bet šie vīna dārznieki sacīja cits uz citu: šis ir tas mantinieks! Nāciet, nokausim to, tad mantojums būs mūsu. 8 Un tie viņu ņēma, nokāva un izmeta no vīnadārza ārā. 9 Ko nu vīnadārza kungs darīs? Viņš nāks un nogalinās dārzniekus un izdos vīnadārzu citiem. 10 Vai jūs šo vārdu neesat lasījuši? Tas akmens, ko nama cēlēji atmetuši, ir kļuvis par stūra akmeni: 11 no Tā Kunga tas ir un ir brīnums mūsu acīs." 12 Un tie meklēja Viņu rokā dabūt un bijās no ļaudīm, jo tie nomanīja, ka Viņš uz tiem šo līdzību bija sacījis; un, Viņu atstājuši, tie aizgāja. 13 Un tie sūta pie Viņa kādus no farizejiem un Hēroda sulaiņiem, lai Viņu ķertu Viņa runā. 14 Un tie nāca un Viņam saka: "Mācītāj, mēs zinām, ka Tu esi patiesīgs un negribi iztapt nevienam; jo Tu neuzlūko cilvēka vaigu, bet māci patiesi Dieva ceļu: vai ir atļauts dot ķeizaram nodevas vai ne? Vai lai dodam vai nedodam?" 15 Bet, viņu viltību pazīdams, Viņš tiem sacīja: "Kam jūs Mani kārdināt? Atnesiet Man denāriju, lai Es to redzu." 16 Un tie atnesa. Tad Viņš tiem saka: "Kā attēls šis ir un uzraksts?" Bet tie Viņam sacīja: "Ķeizara." 17 Un Jēzus tiem sacīja: "Tad dodiet ķeizaram, kas ķeizaram pieder, un Dievam, kas Dievam pieder." Un tie izbrīnījās par Viņu. 18 Un saduķeji, kas saka augšāmcelšanos neesam, nāca pie Viņa un Viņu jautāja, sacīdami: 19 "Mācītāj, Mozus mums ir rakstījis: ja kam brālis mirst, kas sievu atstāj bez bērniem, tad viņa brālim tā sieva jāapņem un savam brālim jārada dzimums. 20 Tad nu bija septiņi brāļi. Un pirmais apņēma sievu un mirdams neatstāja dzimuma. 21 Un otrs viņu apņēma un nomira, un tas arī neatstāja dzimuma. Un tāpat trešais. 22 Un visi septiņi to apņēma un bērnu neatstāja. Beidzot pēc visiem nomira arī sieva. 23 Tad nu pie augšāmcelšanās, kad tie augšāmcelsies, kuram no viņiem tā sieva piederēs? Jo visiem septiņiem tā bijusi par sievu." 24 Jēzus tiem sacīja: "Vai jūs nealojaties, tādēļ ka jūs rakstus neprotat, nedz Dieva spēku? 25 Jo, kad tie celsies augšām no miroņiem, tad tie nedz precēs, nedz taps precēti, bet tie būs kā eņģeļi debesīs. 26 Bet par mirušiem, ka tie taps uzmodināti, vai jūs Mozus grāmatā neesat lasījuši, ka Dievs pie ērkšķu krūma uz to runājis, sacīdams: Es esmu Ābrahāma Dievs un Īzāka Dievs, un Jēkaba Dievs. 27 Dievs nav mirušo, bet dzīvo Dievs! Jūs ļoti alojaties." 28 Un kāds no rakstu mācītājiem, kas bija noklausījies šai viņu sarunā, ka Viņš tiem labi bija atbildējis, nāca un Viņam vaicāja: "Kurš ir augstākais bauslis par visiem?" 29 Jēzus atbildēja: "Augstākais ir: klausies, Israēl, Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, ir viens vienīgs Kungs. 30 Un tev būs To Kungu savu Dievu mīlēt no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles, un no visa sava prāta, un no visa sava spēka. 31 Otrs ir šis: tev būs mīlēt savu tuvāku kā sevi pašu; cita lielāka baušļa par šiem nav." 32 Un rakstu mācītājs Viņam sacīja: "Gan labi, Mācītāj, tas ir tiesa, ko Tu sacījis: viens vienīgs Dievs ir, un cita nav kā Viņš vien, 33 un: To mīlēt no visas sirds un no visa prāta, un no visas dvēseles, un no visa spēka, un tuvāko mīlēt kā sevi pašu - tas ir vairāk nekā visi dedzināmie un citi upuri." 34 Un Jēzus, redzēdams, ka tas gudri bija atbildējis, uz to sacīja: "Tu neesi tālu no Dieva valstības." Un neviens vairs neuzdrošinājās Viņam jautāt. 35 Un Jēzus atbildēja un sacīja, mācīdams Templī: "Kā rakstu mācītāji saka, ka Kristus esot Dāvida dēls? 36 Jo tas pats Dāvids ir sacījis Svētā Gara spēkā: Tas Kungs ir sacījis uz manu Kungu: sēdies pa Manu labo roku, tiekāms Es Tavus ienaidniekus lieku par pameslu Tavām kājām. 37 Dāvids pats Viņu sauc par Kungu; kā tad Tas ir viņa dēls?" Un lielais ļaužu pulks Viņu labprāt klausījās. 38 Un Viņš Savā mācībā sacīja: "Sargaities no rakstu mācītājiem, kam tīk garos svārkos staigāt un tirgus laukumos tapt sveicinātiem 39 un sinagogās sēdēt pirmajās vietās un goda vietās viesībās, 40 kas aprij atraitņu namus un liekulībā tur garas lūgšanas. Šie dabūs jo grūtu sodu." 41 Un Jēzus nosēdās ziedojumu šķirstam pretī un skatījās, kā ļaudis naudu meta šķirstā; un daudz bagātu iemeta daudz. 42 Un kāda nabaga atraitne nāca un iemeta divi artavas, tas ir viens kvadrants. 43 Un Viņš pieaicināja Savus mācekļus un tiem sacīja: "Patiesi Es jums saku: šī nabaga atraitne vairāk ir iemetusi nekā visi, kas ziedojumus šķirstā ir metuši. 44 Jo visi no savas pārpilnības ir metuši; bet šī no savas nabadzības ir iemetusi visu, kas tai bija, visu savu padomu."
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.
