ぶどう園のたとえ話
12 それからイエスは、たとえを使って人々に話し始められました。「ある農園主がぶどう園を造り、垣根を巡らし、ぶどうの汁をしぼる穴を掘り、見張りのやぐらを建てました。そして、このぶどう園を農夫たちに貸し、外国へ出かけました。 2 ぶどうの収穫の季節になったので、農園主は代理の者をやり、分け前を受け取ろうとしました。 3 けれども農夫たちは、代理の者を袋だたきにしたあげく、手ぶらで送り返したのです。
4 そこで、もう一人の代理人を送りましたが、彼も同じような仕打ちを受け、しかも頭にひどいけがを負いました。 5 農園主はまた別の人を送りました。事もあろうに、農夫たちはその人を殺してしまいました。そのあとも次々に人が送られましたが、みな袋だたきにされたり、殺されたりして、 6 残るは、農園主の息子だけになりました。愛するたった一人の息子でした。農園主は、『息子だったら、農夫たちも敬意を持ってくれるだろう』と思い、ついにその息子を送り出しました。
7 ところが、農夫たちは息子を見ると、『絶好のチャンスだ。ぶどう園の跡取りを殺してしまえば、ここは自分たちのものになる』とばかり、 8 息子を捕らえて殺し、死体をぶどう園の外に放り出しました。
9 農園主がこのことを知ったら、どうすると思いますか。すぐさま帰って来て、農夫たちを皆殺しにし、ぶどう園はほかの人たちに貸すでしょう。 10 あなたがたは、聖書にこう書いてあるのを読んだことがないのですか。
『建築士たちの捨てた石が、
最も重要な土台石となった。
11 なんとすばらしいことか。
主はなんと驚くべきことをなさる方か。』（詩篇118・22-23）」
敵のわなを見破る
12 このたとえ話を聞いた祭司長やユダヤ人の指導者たちは、その悪い農夫が自分たちを指していることに気づき、イエスを捕らえようと思いましたが、群衆の暴動がこわくて手出しができません。しかたなく、イエスをそのままにして、そそくさと立ち去りました。 13 それでも、何とかして逮捕の口実をつかもうと、パリサイ派やヘロデ党（ヘロデ王を支持する政治的な一派）の者たちを送りました。
14 彼らはイエスに尋ねました。「先生。あなたのおっしゃることは、いちいちごもっともです。あなたは私利私欲にとらわれず、まじめに神の道を教えておられます。つきましては、ちょっとお尋ねしたいのですが、ローマ政府に税金を納めるのは正しいことでしょうか。それとも、正しくないことでしょうか。」
15 彼らのわなを見破ったイエスは、「なぜ、わたしを試すのですか。銀貨を見せなさい」と言われました。
16 そして銀貨を受け取ると、彼らにこうお尋ねになりました。
「この銀貨に刻んである肖像と名前はだれのものですか。」「ローマ皇帝のものです。」
17 「そのとおりです。皇帝のものなら、皇帝に返しなさい。しかし、神のものはすべて、神に返さなければなりません。」これを聞いて、彼らは頭をかかえ込んでしまいました。
18 次に、復活などありえないと主張していたサドカイ派（神殿を支配していた祭司階級。ユダヤ教の主流派）の人たちがやって来ました。
19 「先生。モーセの律法によると、ある男が結婚して子どもがないまま死んだ場合、弟が兄の未亡人と結婚して、生まれた子どもに兄のあとを継がせることになっています。 20-22 ところで、ここに七人兄弟がいたとしましょう。長男は結婚しましたが、子どもがないまま死に、残された未亡人は次男の妻になりました。ところが次男も子どもができずに死んだので、その妻は三男のものになりました。三男も四男も同じことで、ついにこの女は、七人兄弟全部の妻になりましたが、結局、子どもはできずじまいでした。最後に、この未亡人も死にました。
23 そこでお尋ねしたいのですが、復活の時、この女はいったいだれの妻になるのでしょう。七人とも彼女を妻にしたのですが。」
24 イエスはお答えになりました。「聖書も神の力もわかっていないようですね。全く思い違いをしています。 25 復活の時には、結婚などはないのです。みんなが天の使いのようになるのですから。
26 それに、復活のあるなしについては、聖書の、モーセと燃える柴の箇所を読んだことがないのですか。神はモーセに、『わたしはアブラハムの神、イサクの神、ヤコブの神である』（出エジプト3・6）と言われました。
27 実際には、これらの人たちは数百年も前に死んでいたのに、神はモーセに、彼らはなお生きていると教えられたのです。そうでなければ、すでに存在していない人の『神である』などと、おっしゃるはずがありません。あなたがたは、この点で決定的にまちがっています。」
28 イエスのそばで、この見事な返答ぶりを聞いていた一人のユダヤ教の教師が、「先生。すべての戒めの中で、どれが一番重要な戒めでしょうか」と尋ねました。
29 「『イスラエルよ、聞け。主なる神こそ、ただひとりの神です。 30 心を尽くし、たましいを尽くし、思いを尽くし、力を尽くして、あなたの主を愛しなさい。』（申命6・4-5）これが最も重要な戒めです。
31 第二は、『自分を愛するように、あなたの隣人を愛しなさい』（レビ19・18）という戒めです。これ以上に重要な戒めはありません。」
32 「先生。あなたは今、神様はおひとりで、ほかに神はいないとおっしゃいましたが、まさにそのとおりです。 33 そして、神殿の祭壇にどんな供え物をささげるよりも、『心を尽くし、思いを尽くし、力を尽くして主を愛し、また隣人を自分と同じように愛する』ことのほうが、ずっと大切です。」
34 この賢明な答えに感心したイエスは、「あなたは神の国から遠くない」と言われました。そのあとはもう、だれも、あえてイエスに質問しようとはしませんでした。
35 その後、神殿の境内で教えておられた時、イエスはこうお尋ねになりました。「ユダヤ教の教師たちは、どうしてキリストがダビデ王の子だと言いはるのですか。 36 ダビデ自身が、といっても、ほんとうは聖霊がダビデを通して語られたのですが、こう言っているではありませんか。
『神が私の主に言われた。
「わたしがあなたの敵を
あなたの足台とするまで、
わたしの右に座っていなさい。」』（詩篇110・1）
37 ダビデがキリストを主と呼んでいるのなら、どうしてキリストがダビデの子でありうるでしょうか。」こういう議論に群衆は好奇心を募らせ、イエスの話に聞き入っていました。
38 イエスは、ほかにも次のような話をなさいました。「ユダヤ教の教師たちを警戒しなさい。彼らは見るからに学者らしいぜいたくなガウンをはおったり、広場で人からあいさつされたりするのが、何よりうれしいのです。 39 また、会堂で特別席に座ったり、宴会で上座に着いたりするのも大好きです。 40 裏では、恥知らずにも、未亡人の家を食いものにしながら、人前では長々と祈り、これ見よがしに神を敬うふりをしています。こういう人たちは、人一倍きびしい罰を受けるのです。」
41 それから、神殿の献金箱のそばに座り、人々がお金を投げ入れる様子をじっと見ておられました。多くの金持ちが気前よく大金をささげているところへ、 42 みすぼらしい身なりの未亡人がやって来て、そっと小額の硬貨二枚を投げ入れました。
43-44 それをごらんになったイエスは、弟子たちを呼び寄せて、こう言われました。「あの貧しい未亡人は、どの金持ちよりも、はるかに多く投げ入れたのです。金持ちはあり余る中からほんの少しばかりささげたのに、この女は、乏しい中から持っている全部をささげたのですから。」

Parable of the tenant farmers
12 Jesus spoke to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the winepress, and built a tower. Then he rented it to tenant farmers and took a trip. 2 When it was time, he sent a servant to collect from the tenants his share of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they grabbed the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Again the landowner sent another servant to them, but they struck him on the head and treated him disgracefully. 5 He sent another one; that one they killed. The landlord sent many other servants, but the tenants beat some and killed others. 6 Now the landowner had one son whom he loved dearly. He sent him last, thinking, They will respect my son. 7 But those tenant farmers said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 They grabbed him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “So what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you read this scripture, The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 11 The Lord has done this, and it’s amazing in our eyes?”[a]
12 They wanted to arrest Jesus because they knew that he had told the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd, so they left him and went away.
A question about taxes
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and supporters of Herod to trap him in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you’re genuine and you don’t worry about what people think. You don’t show favoritism but teach God’s way as it really is. Does the Law allow people to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay taxes or not?”
15 Since Jesus recognized their deceit, he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a coin. Show it to me.” 16 And they brought one. He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” His reply left them overcome with wonder.
A question about the resurrection
18 Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Jesus and asked, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a widow but no children, the brother must marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.[b] 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman; when he died, he left no children. 21 The second married her and died without leaving any children. The third did the same. 22 None of the seven left any children. Finally, the woman died. 23 At the resurrection, when they all rise up, whose wife will she be? All seven were married to her.”
24 Jesus said to them, “Isn’t this the reason you are wrong, because you don’t know either the scriptures or God’s power? 25 When people rise from the dead, they won’t marry nor will they be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like God’s angels. 26 As for the resurrection from the dead, haven’t you read in the scroll from Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God said to Moses, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?[c] 27 He isn’t the God of the dead but of the living. You are seriously mistaken.”
God’s most important command
28 One of the legal experts heard their dispute and saw how well Jesus answered them. He came over and asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
29 Jesus replied, “The most important one is Israel, listen! Our God is the one Lord, 30 and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, with all your mind, and with all your strength.[d] 31 The second is this, You will love your neighbor as yourself.[e] No other commandment is greater than these.”
32 The legal expert said to him, “Well said, Teacher. You have truthfully said that God is one and there is no other besides him. 33 And to love God with all of the heart, a full understanding, and all of one’s strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself is much more important than all kinds of entirely burned offerings and sacrifices.”
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered with wisdom, he said to him, “You aren’t far from God’s kingdom.” After that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Jesus corrects the legal experts
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “Why do the legal experts say that the Christ is David’s son? 36 David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said, The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side until I turn your enemies into your footstool.’[f] 37 David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ so how can he be David’s son?” The large crowd listened to him with delight.
38 As he was teaching, he said, “Watch out for the legal experts. They like to walk around in long robes. They want to be greeted with honor in the markets. 39 They long for places of honor in the synagogues and at banquets. 40 They are the ones who cheat widows out of their homes, and to show off they say long prayers. They will be judged most harshly.”
A poor widow’s contribution
41 Jesus sat across from the collection box for the temple treasury and observed how the crowd gave their money. Many rich people were throwing in lots of money. 42 One poor widow came forward and put in two small copper coins worth a penny.[g] 43 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I assure you that this poor widow has put in more than everyone who’s been putting money in the treasury. 44 All of them are giving out of their spare change. But she from her hopeless poverty has given everything she had, even what she needed to live on.”

The Parable of the Tenants(A)
12 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard.(B) He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. 5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,(C) saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;(D)
11 the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’[a]?”(E)
12 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd;(F) so they left him and went away.(G)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(H)
13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians(I) to Jesus to catch him(J) in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[b] to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”(K)
And they were amazed at him.
Marriage at the Resurrection(L)
18 Then the Sadducees,(M) who say there is no resurrection,(N) came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.(O) 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[c] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures(P) or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.(Q) 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[d]?(R) 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
The Greatest Commandment(S)
28 One of the teachers of the law(T) came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f](U) 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g](V) There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.(W) 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”(X)
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”(Y) And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.(Z)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AA)(AB)
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts,(AC) he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?(AD) 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit,(AE) declared:
37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
The large crowd(AG) listened to him with delight.
Warning Against the Teachers of the Law
38 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(AH) 40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
The Widow’s Offering(AI)
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put(AJ) and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”(AK)
