King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And 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,
1Et factum est in una dierum, docente illo populum in templo, et evangelizante, convenerunt principes sacerdotum, et scribæ cum senioribus,
2And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
2et aiunt dicentes ad illum: Dic nobis in qua potestate hæc facis? aut quis est qui dedit tibi hanc potestatem?
3And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and 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?
5And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
5At illi cogitabant intra se, dicentes: Quia si dixerimus: De cælo, dicet: Quare ergo non credidistis illi?
6But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be 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 could not tell whence it was .
7Et responderunt se nescire unde esset.
8And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
8Et Jesus ait illis: Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
9Then 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.
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: but the husbandmen beat him, and 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: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
11Et addidit alterum servum mittere. Illi autem hunc quoque cædentes, et afficientes contumelia, dimiserunt inanem.
12And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
12Et addidit tertium mittere: qui et illum vulnerantes ejecerunt.
13Then 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.
13Dixit autem dominus vineæ: Quid faciam? Mittam filium meum dilectum: forsitan, cum hunc viderint, verebuntur.
14But 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.
14Quem cum vidissent coloni, cogitaverunt intra se, dicentes: Hic est hæres, occidamus illum, ut nostra fiat hæreditas.
15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him . What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
15Et ejectum illum extra vineam, occiderunt. Quid ergo faciet illis dominus vineæ?
16He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it , they said, God forbid.
16veniet, et perdet colonos istos, et dabit vineam aliis. Quo audito, dixerunt illi: Absit.
17And 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?
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 broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
18Omnis qui ceciderit super illum lapidem, conquassabitur: super quem autem ceciderit, comminuet illum.
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.
19Et quærebant principes sacerdotum et scribæ mittere in illum manus illa hora, et timuerunt populum: cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem hanc.
20And 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.
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 sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any , but teachest the way of God truly:
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 unto Cæsar, or no?
22Licet nobis tributum dare Cæsari, an non?
23But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
23Considerans autem dolum illorum, dixit ad eos: Quid me tentatis?
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.
24ostendite mihi denarium. Cujus habet imaginem et inscriptionem? Respondentes dixerunt ei: Cæsaris.
25And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.
25Et ait illis: Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.
26And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
26Et non potuerunt verbum ejus reprehendere coram plebe: et mirati in responso ejus, tacuerunt.
27¶ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which 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 die without children, that his brother should take his 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 second took her to wife, and he died childless.
30Et sequens accepit illam, et ipse mortuus est sine filio.
31And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: 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.
33Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
33In resurrectione ergo, cujus eorum erit uxor? siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem.
34And Jesus answering said unto 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 which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
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 unto 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 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.
37Quia vero resurgant mortui, et Moyses ostendit secus rubum, sicut dicit Dominum, Deum Abraham, et Deum Isaac, et Deum Jacob.
38For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
38Deus autem non est mortuorum, sed vivorum: omnes enim vivunt ei.
39¶ Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
39Respondentes autem quidam scribarum, dixerunt ei: Magister, bene dixisti.
40And after that they durst not ask him any question at all .
40Et amplius non audebant eum quidquam interrogare.
41And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
41Dixit autem ad illos: Quomodo dicunt Christum filium esse David?
42And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto 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 thine enemies thy footstool.
43donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
44David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
44David ergo Dominum illum vocat: et quomodo filius ejus est?
45¶ Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
45Audiente autem omni populo, dixit discipulis suis:
46Beware 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;
46Attendite a scribis, qui volunt ambulare in stolis, et amant salutationes in foro, et primas cathedras in synagogis, et primos discubitus in conviviis,
47Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
47qui devorant domos viduarum, simulantes longam orationem: hi accipient damnationem majorem.
