Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then 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.
1Et cœpit illis in parabolis loqui: Vineam pastinavit homo, et circumdedit sepem, et fodit lacum, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
2At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
2Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineæ.
3But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
3Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum.
4Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
4Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum: et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt.
5He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
5Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt: et plures alios: quosdam cædentes, alios vero occidentes.
6Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
6Adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum, et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens: Quia reverebuntur filium meum.
7But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
7Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem: Hic est hæres: venite, occidamus eum: et nostra erit hæreditas.
8So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
8Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt: et ejecerunt extra vineam.
9What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.
9Quid ergo faciet dominus vineæ? Veniet, et perdet colonos, et dabit vineam aliis.
10Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
10Nec scripturam hanc legistis: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli:
11This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
11a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?
12At 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.
12Et quærebant eum tenere: et timuerunt turbam: cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit. Et relicto eo abierunt.
13Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.
13Et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex pharisæis, et herodianis, ut eum caperent in verbo.
14“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?”
14Qui venientes dicunt ei: Magister, scimus quia verax es, et non curas quemquam: nec enim vides in faciem hominum, sed in veritate viam Dei doces. Licet dari tributum Cæsari, an non dabimus?
15But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”
15Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illos: Quid me tentatis? afferte mihi denarium ut videam.
16So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
16At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis: Cujus est imago hæc, et inscriptio? Dicunt ei: Cæsaris.
17Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.
17Respondens autem Jesus dixit illis: Reddite igitur quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo.
18Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:
18Et venerunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse: et interrogabant eum, dicentes:
19“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.
19Magister, Moyses nobis scripsit, ut si cujus frater mortuus fuerit, et dimiserit uxorem, et filios non reliquerit, accipiat frater ejus uxorem ipsius, et resuscitet semen fratri suo.
20Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.
20Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine.
21Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.
21Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est: et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter.
22In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.
22Et acceperunt eam similiter septem: et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier.
23In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
23In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cujus de his erit uxor? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem.
24Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
24Et respondens Jesus, ait illis: Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei?
25When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
25Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed sunt sicut angeli in cælis.
26But 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’?
26De mortuis autem quod resurgant, non legistis in libro Moysi, super rubum, quomodo dixerit illi Deus, inquiens: Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob?
27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
27Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis.
28Now 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?”
28Et accessit unus de scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum.
29Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
29Jesus autem respondit ei: Quia primum omnium mandatum est: Audi Israël, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est:
30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
30et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex tota corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota mente tua, et ex tota virtute tua. Hoc est primum mandatum.
31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
31Secundum autem simile est illi: Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Majus horum aliud mandatum non est.
32“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,
32Et ait illi scriba: Bene, Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius præter eum.
33and 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.”
33Et ut diligatur ex toto corde, et ex toto intellectu, et ex tota anima, et ex tota fortitudine, et diligere proximum tamquam seipsum, majus est omnibus holocautomatibus, et sacrificiis.
34When 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.
34Jesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi: Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo jam audebat eum interrogare.
35While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
35Et respondens Jesus dicebat, docens in templo: Quomodo dicunt scribæ Christum filium esse David?
36Speaking 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.”’
36Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto: Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
37David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.
37Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius ejus? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit.
38In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,
38Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua: Cavete a scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro,
39and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
39et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in cœnis:
40They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
40qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixæ orationis: hi accipient prolixius judicium.
41As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.
41Et sedens Jesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba jactaret æs in gazophylacium, et multi divites jactabant multa.
42Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.
42Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans,
43Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.
43et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis: Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua hæc pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium.
44For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
44Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt: hæc vero de penuria sua omnia quæ habuit misit totum victum suum.
