World English Bible
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.
1He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineæ.
2When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum.
3They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum: et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt.
4Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt: et plures alios: quosdam cædentes, alios vero occidentes.
5Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6Adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum, et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens: Quia reverebuntur filium meum.
6Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem: Hic est hæres: venite, occidamus eum: et nostra erit hæreditas.
7But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt: et ejecerunt extra vineam.
8They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9Quid ergo faciet dominus vineæ? Veniet, et perdet colonos, et dabit vineam aliis.
9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10Nec scripturam hanc legistis: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli:
10Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
11a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?
11This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12Et quærebant eum tenere: et timuerunt turbam: cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit. Et relicto eo abierunt.
12They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
13Et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex pharisæis, et herodianis, ut eum caperent in verbo.
13They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
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?
14When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illos: Quid me tentatis? afferte mihi denarium ut videam.
15Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
16At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis: Cujus est imago hæc, et inscriptio? Dicunt ei: Cæsaris.
16They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
17Respondens autem Jesus dixit illis: Reddite igitur quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo.
17Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
18Et venerunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse: et interrogabant eum, dicentes:
18Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
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.
19“Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
20Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine.
20There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est: et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter.
21The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
22Et acceperunt eam similiter septem: et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier.
22and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
23In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cujus de his erit uxor? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem.
23In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
24Et respondens Jesus, ait illis: Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei?
24Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
25Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed sunt sicut angeli in cælis.
25For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
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?
26But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis.
27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28Et accessit unus de scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum.
28One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
29Jesus autem respondit ei: Quia primum omnium mandatum est: Audi Israël, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est:
29Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
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.
30You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31Secundum autem simile est illi: Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Majus horum aliud mandatum non est.
31The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32Et ait illi scriba: Bene, Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius præter eum.
32The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
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.
33and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34Jesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi: Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo jam audebat eum interrogare.
34When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
35Et respondens Jesus dicebat, docens in templo: Quomodo dicunt scribæ Christum filium esse David?
35Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
36Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto: Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
36For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
37Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius ejus? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit.
37Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
38Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua: Cavete a scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro,
38In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in cœnis:
39and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
40qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixæ orationis: hi accipient prolixius judicium.
40those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
41Et sedens Jesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba jactaret æs in gazophylacium, et multi divites jactabant multa.
41Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans,
42A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
43et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis: Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua hæc pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium.
43He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
44Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt: hæc vero de penuria sua omnia quæ habuit misit totum victum suum.
44for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
