Chất Vấn về Thẩm Quyền của Chúa
(Mat 21:23-27; Mác 11:27-33)
20 Một hôm đang khi Ngài giảng dạy cho dân trong đền thờ và rao giảng Tin Mừng, các trưởng tế, các thầy dạy giáo luật, và các trưởng lão đến gần Ngài 2 và nói với Ngài, “Hãy nói cho chúng tôi biết, ông lấy thẩm quyền nào làm những điều này? Hay ai ban cho ông thẩm quyền ấy?”
3 Ngài trả lời và nói với họ, “Ta cũng hỏi các ngươi một câu, các ngươi hãy trả lời Ta: 4 Phép báp-têm của Giăng đến từ trời hay đến từ người?”
5 Họ thảo luận với nhau và nói, “Nếu chúng ta nói ‘Từ trời,’ ông ta sẽ hỏi lại, ‘Thế tại sao các ngươi không tin ông ấy?’ 6 Còn nếu chúng ta nói, ‘Từ người,’ thì toàn dân sẽ ném đá chúng ta, vì họ đều tin rằng Giăng là đấng tiên tri.” 7 Vì thế họ trả lời rằng họ không biết phép báp-têm ấy đến từ đâu.
8 Ðức Chúa Jesus nói với họ, “Ta cũng không nói cho các ngươi biết bởi thẩm quyền nào Ta làm những điều này.”
Những Tá Ðiền Gian Ác
(Mat 21:33-46; Mác 12:1-12)
9 Ngài bắt đầu kể cho dân ngụ ngôn này: “Một người kia trồng một vườn nho, thuê các tá điền canh tác, rồi đi phương xa một thời gian khá lâu. 10 Ðến mùa hái nho, ông sai một đầy tớ đến gặp các tá điền để thu hoa lợi của vườn nho. Nhưng các tá điền đánh người đầy tớ ấy, rồi đuổi người ấy về tay không. 11 Ông sai một đầy tớ khác đến, nhưng chúng cũng đánh người ấy, làm nhục người ấy, và đuổi người ấy về tay không. 12 Ông lại sai một đầy tớ thứ ba đến, nhưng chúng cũng đánh đầy tớ ấy trọng thương, rồi quăng người ấy ra ngoài vườn. 13 Bấy giờ người chủ của vườn nho nói, ‘Ta sẽ làm gì đây? Ta sẽ sai con trai yêu dấu của ta đến. Có lẽ họ sẽ kiêng nể nó.’ 14 Nhưng khi các tá điền thấy người con ấy, chúng nói với nhau, ‘Con thừa kế đây rồi. Chúng ta hãy giết nó, để sản nghiệp của nó có thể thuộc về chúng ta.’ 15 Thế là chúng đuổi cậu ấy ra ngoài vườn và giết cậu ấy. Vậy chủ vườn nho sẽ làm gì đối với bọn ấy? 16 Ông sẽ đến và tiêu diệt bọn tá điền ấy, rồi trao vườn nho cho những người khác canh tác.”
Khi họ nghe như vậy, họ nói, “Không bao giờ có chuyện như thế.”
17 Nhưng Ngài nhìn họ và nói, “Vậy câu Kinh Thánh này,
‘Tảng đá bị những thợ xây nhà loại ra đã trở thành tảng đá góc nhà’
có ý nghĩa gì? 18 Ai ngã nhằm đá ấy sẽ bị nát tan, còn đá ấy rơi trúng ai, kẻ đó sẽ bị nát thành bụi.”
19 Ngay giờ đó các thầy dạy giáo luật và các trưởng tế muốn ra tay bắt Ngài, nhưng họ sợ dân, vì họ biết Ngài kể ngụ ngôn đó để ám chỉ họ.
Chúa Giải Ðáp Việc Ðóng Thuế
(Mat 22:15-22; Mác 12:13-17)
20 Họ theo dõi Ngài và sai các mật thám giả làm người hiền lành đi theo Ngài, chờ nghe Ngài nói lỡ lời, để bắt nộp Ngài cho nhà cầm quyền và cho chính quyền của tổng trấn. 21 Họ hỏi Ngài rằng, “Thưa Thầy, chúng tôi biết Thầy nói và dạy cách thẳng thắn, không thiên vị ai, nhưng cứ theo chân lý dạy dỗ đường lối của Ðức Chúa Trời. 22 Chúng ta có nên nộp thuế cho Sê-sa hay không?”
23 Nhưng Ngài nhìn thấy rõ lòng xảo quyệt của họ nên nói với họ, 24 “Hãy cho Ta xem một đồng tiền. [a] Hình ảnh và danh hiệu này của ai?”
Họ đáp, “Của Sê-sa.”
25 Ngài phán, “Hãy trả cho Sê-sa những gì của Sê-sa, và hãy trả cho Ðức Chúa Trời những gì của Ðức Chúa Trời.”
26 Trước mặt mọi người họ không thể bắt bẻ một lời nào của Ngài. Họ sững sờ trước câu trả lời của Ngài và im miệng.
Sự Sống Lại của Người Chết
(Mat 22:23-33; Mác 12:18-27)
27 Bấy giờ có mấy người Sa-đu-sê, những người cho rằng không có sự sống lại, đến gặp Ngài và hỏi 28 rằng, “Thưa Thầy, Môi-se đã viết cho chúng ta rằng, nếu anh hay em trai của một người có vợ rồi qua đời mà không con nối dõi thì em trai hay anh của người đó phải lấy người vợ góa ấy để lưu truyền dòng giống cho anh hay em mình. 29 Bây giờ có bảy anh em. Người thứ nhất lấy vợ rồi chết, không con; 30 người thứ hai, 31 rồi người thứ ba đều lấy người vợ góa ấy. Cứ thế bảy anh em đều lấy người đàn bà ấy và đều chết, không con nối dõi. 32 Cuối cùng người đàn bà ấy cũng chết. 33 Vậy trong ngày sống lại, người đàn bà ấy sẽ là vợ ai? Vì cả bảy anh em đều đã lấy bà làm vợ.”
34 Ðức Chúa Jesus trả lời họ, “Con cái ở đời này cưới vợ gả chồng, 35 nhưng những ai được coi là xứng đáng để hưởng phước của cõi đời đời và sống lại từ cõi chết thì khi ấy sẽ không cưới không gả nữa. 36 Vì họ không thể chết nữa, bởi họ sẽ giống như các thiên sứ và là con cái Ðức Chúa Trời, vì họ là con cái của sự sống lại. 37 Còn về sự sống lại của người chết, Môi-se cũng đã cho thấy điều ấy trong đoạn kinh văn về bụi gai cháy khi ông gọi Chúa là Ðức Chúa Trời của Áp-ra-ham, Ðức Chúa Trời của I-sác, và Ðức Chúa Trời của Gia-cốp. 38 Ðiều đó có nghĩa rằng Ðức Chúa Trời không phải là Ðức Chúa Trời của những kẻ chết, nhưng của những người sống, vì đối với Ngài, tất cả đều đang sống.”
39 Nghe vậy mấy thầy dạy giáo luật nói, “Thưa Thầy, Thầy giải đáp hay quá!” 40 Từ đó họ không dám chất vấn Ngài điều gì nữa.
Liên Hệ Giữa Chúa và Ða-vít
(Mat 22:41-46; Mác 12:35-37)
41 Bấy giờ Ngài hỏi họ, “Làm thể nào người ta có thể nói Ðấng Christ là Con của Ða-vít, 42 trong khi chính Ða-vít đã nói trong Thánh Thi,
‘Chúa phán với Chúa của tôi,
“Hãy ngồi bên phải Ta,
43 Cho đến khi Ta đặt những kẻ thù của Con làm bệ chân Con.”’
44 Vậy Ða-vít đã gọi Ngài là ‘Chúa,’ thì làm thể nào Ngài là con ông ấy?”
Chúa Trách Các Thầy Dạy Giáo Luật
(Mat 23:1-36; Mác 12:38-40)
45 Trong khi mọi người đang lắng nghe, Ngài nói với các môn đồ Ngài, 46 “Các ngươi hãy coi chừng các thầy dạy giáo luật, những người ưa dạo quanh trong chiếc áo dài lụng thụng, muốn được chào hỏi kính cẩn ở giữa chợ, luôn dành những chỗ ngồi tôn trọng nhất trong các hội đường, và thích ngồi ở bàn danh dự nơi các đám tiệc. 47 Họ nuốt nhà các bà góa, mà lúc nào cũng làm ra vẻ đạo mạo bằng những bài cầu nguyện dài lê thê. Những người ấy sẽ nhận bản án nặng nề hơn.”

Luke 20
New International Version
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(A)
20 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts(B) and proclaiming the good news,(C) the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2 “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?”(D)
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me: 4 John’s baptism(E)—was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
5 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people(F) will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”(G)
7 So they answered, “We don’t know where it was from.”
8 Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
The Parable of the Tenants(H)
9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard,(I) rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.(J) 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love;(K) perhaps they will respect him.’
14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those tenants(L) and give the vineyard to others.”
When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”
17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”(N)
19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him(O) immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.(P)
Paying Taxes to Caesar(Q)
20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said,(R) so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.(S) 21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.(T) 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(U) and to God what is God’s.”
26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.
The Resurrection and Marriage(V)
27 Some of the Sadducees,(W) who say there is no resurrection,(X) came to Jesus with a question. 28 “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.(Y) 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come(Z) and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children,(AA) since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[b](AB) 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!” 40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.(AC)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AD)
41 Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?(AE) 42 David himself declares in the Book of Psalms:
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
43 until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’[c](AF)
44 David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
Warning Against the Teachers of the Law
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(AG) 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

New King James Version
Jesus’ Authority Questioned(A)
20 Now (B)it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him 2 and spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us, (C)by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?”
3 But He answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, and answer Me: 4 The (D)baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?”
5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why [a]then did you not believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, (E)for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers(F)
9 Then He began to tell the people this parable: (G)“A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to [b]vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. 10 Now at [c]vintage-time he (H)sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.’ 14 But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the (I)heir. Come, (J)let us kill him, that the inheritance may be (K)ours.’ 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard and (L)killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to (M)others.”
And when they heard it they said, “Certainly not!”
17 Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
(N)‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone’?
18 Whoever falls on that stone will be (O)broken; but (P)on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
19 And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they [d]feared the people—for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.
The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(Q)
20 (R)So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.
21 Then they asked Him, saying, (S)“Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth: 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, [e]“Why do you test Me? 24 Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?”
They answered and said, “Caesar’s.”
25 And He said to them, (T)“Render[f] therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.
The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(U)
27 (V)Then some of the Sadducees, (W)who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second [g]took her as wife, and he died childless. 31 Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven [h]also; and they left no children, and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife.”
34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are (X)counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 nor can they die anymore, for (Y)they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, (Z)being sons of the resurrection. 37 But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord (AA)‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38 For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for (AB)all live to Him.”
39 Then some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.” 40 But after that they dared not question Him anymore.
Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?(AC)
41 And He said to them, (AD)“How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David? 42 Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms:
(AE)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
43 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
44 Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’; (AF)how is He then his Son?”
Beware of the Scribes(AG)
45 (AH)Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples, 46 (AI)“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, (AJ)love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 47 (AK)who devour widows’ houses, and for a (AL)pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

King James Version
20 And 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,
2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9 Then 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.
10 And 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.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 Then 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.
14 But 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.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17 And 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?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
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.
20 And 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.
21 And 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:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28 Saying, 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.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Now 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.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46 Beware 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;
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
