Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
1Et factum est in una dierum, docente illo populum in templo, et evangelizante, convenerunt principes sacerdotum, et scribæ cum senioribus,
2And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
2et aiunt dicentes ad illum: Dic nobis in qua potestate hæc facis? aut quis est qui dedit tibi hanc potestatem?
3And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
3Respondens autem Jesus, dixit ad illos: Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum. Respondete mihi:
4The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
4baptismus Joannis de cælo erat, an ex hominibus?
5But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?
5At illi cogitabant intra se, dicentes: Quia si dixerimus: De cælo, dicet: Quare ergo non credidistis illi?
6But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
6Si autem dixerimus: Ex hominibus, plebs universa lapidabit nos: certi sunt enim Joannem prophetam esse.
7And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
7Et responderunt se nescire unde esset.
8And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
8Et Jesus ait illis: Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
9And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
9Cœpit autem dicere ad plebem parabolam hanc: Homo plantavit vineam, et locavit eam colonis: et ipse peregre fuit multis temporibus.
10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
10Et in tempore misit ad cultores servum, ut de fructu vineæ darent illi. Qui cæsum dimiserunt eum inanem.
11And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
11Et addidit alterum servum mittere. Illi autem hunc quoque cædentes, et afficientes contumelia, dimiserunt inanem.
12And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
12Et addidit tertium mittere: qui et illum vulnerantes ejecerunt.
13Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
13Dixit autem dominus vineæ: Quid faciam? Mittam filium meum dilectum: forsitan, cum hunc viderint, verebuntur.
14Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
14Quem cum vidissent coloni, cogitaverunt intra se, dicentes: Hic est hæres, occidamus illum, ut nostra fiat hæreditas.
15So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
15Et ejectum illum extra vineam, occiderunt. Quid ergo faciet illis dominus vineæ?
16He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
16veniet, et perdet colonos istos, et dabit vineam aliis. Quo audito, dixerunt illi: Absit.
17But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
17Ille autem aspiciens eos, ait: Quid est ergo hoc quod scriptum est: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli?
18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
18Omnis qui ceciderit super illum lapidem, conquassabitur: super quem autem ceciderit, comminuet illum.
19And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
19Et quærebant principes sacerdotum et scribæ mittere in illum manus illa hora, et timuerunt populum: cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem hanc.
20And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
20Et observantes miserunt insidiatores, qui se justos simularent, ut caperent eum in sermone, ut traderent illum principatui, et potestati præsidis.
21And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
21Et interrogaverunt eum, dicentes: Magister, scimus quia recte dicis et doces: et non accipis personam, sed viam Dei in veritate doces.
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
22Licet nobis tributum dare Cæsari, an non?
23But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
23Considerans autem dolum illorum, dixit ad eos: Quid me tentatis?
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar’s.
24ostendite mihi denarium. Cujus habet imaginem et inscriptionem? Respondentes dixerunt ei: Cæsaris.
25And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.
25Et ait illis: Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.
26And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
26Et non potuerunt verbum ejus reprehendere coram plebe: et mirati in responso ejus, tacuerunt.
27And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
27Accesserunt autem quidam sadducæorum, qui negant esse resurrectionem, et interrogaverunt eum,
28Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
28dicentes: Magister, Moyses scripsit nobis: Si frater alicujus mortuus fuerit habens uxorem, et hic sine liberis fuerit, ut accipiat eam frater ejus uxorem, et suscitet semen fratri suo.
29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
29Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est sine filiis.
30And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.
30Et sequens accepit illam, et ipse mortuus est sine filio.
31And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.
31Et tertius accepit illam. Similiter et omnes septem, et non reliquerunt semen, et mortui sunt.
32Last of all the woman died also.
32Novissime omnium mortua est et mulier.
33In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
33In resurrectione ergo, cujus eorum erit uxor? siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem.
34And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
34Et ait illis Jesus: Filii hujus sæculi nubunt, et traduntur ad nuptias:
35But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives.
35illi vero qui digni habebuntur sæculo illo, et resurrectione ex mortuis, neque nubent, neque ducent uxores:
36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
36neque enim ultra mori potuerunt: æquales enim angelis sunt, et filii sunt Dei, cum sint filii resurrectionis.
37Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
37Quia vero resurgant mortui, et Moyses ostendit secus rubum, sicut dicit Dominum, Deum Abraham, et Deum Isaac, et Deum Jacob.
38For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
38Deus autem non est mortuorum, sed vivorum: omnes enim vivunt ei.
39And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
39Respondentes autem quidam scribarum, dixerunt ei: Magister, bene dixisti.
40And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
40Et amplius non audebant eum quidquam interrogare.
41But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
41Dixit autem ad illos: Quomodo dicunt Christum filium esse David?
42And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
42et ipse David dicit in libro Psalmorum: Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis,
43Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
43donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
44David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?
44David ergo Dominum illum vocat: et quomodo filius ejus est?
45And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
45Audiente autem omni populo, dixit discipulis suis:
46Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:
46Attendite a scribis, qui volunt ambulare in stolis, et amant salutationes in foro, et primas cathedras in synagogis, et primos discubitus in conviviis,
47Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
47qui devorant domos viduarum, simulantes longam orationem: hi accipient damnationem majorem.
