Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa mga Masasamang Magsasaka(A)

12 At(B) tinuruan ni Jesus ang mga tao sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga. Sinabi niya, “May isang taong nagtanim ng ubas sa kanyang bukid. Pinabakuran niya ang ubasan, nagpagawa ng pisaan ng ubas at nagpatayo ng isang tore. Pagkatapos, pinaupahan niya ang ubasan sa mga magsasaka at siya'y nagpunta sa ibang lupain. Nang dumating ang panahon ng pag-aani ng ubas, pinapunta niya ang isang alipin upang kunin sa mga magsasaka ang kanyang bahagi. Ngunit sinunggaban ng mga magsasaka ang utusan, binugbog at saka pinauwing walang dala. Muling nagsugo ang may-ari ng isa pang alipin, ngunit ito ay hinampas sa ulo at nilait-lait ng mga magsasaka. Nagsugo na naman ang may-ari ng isa pang alipin ngunit pinatay naman nila ito. Ganoon din ang ginawa nila sa marami pang iba, may binugbog at may pinatay. Hindi nagtagal, iisa na lang ang natitirang maaaring papuntahin ng may-ari, ang kanyang minamahal na anak. Kaya't pinapunta niya ito sa pag-aakalang igagalang nila ang kanyang anak. Ngunit nag-usap-usap ang mga magsasaka, ‘Iyan ang tagapagmana. Halikayo, patayin natin siya upang mapasaatin lahat ng kanyang mamanahin.’ Kaya't sinunggaban nila at pinatay ito, at pagkatapos ay itinapon ang kanyang bangkay sa labas ng ubasan.

“Ano kaya ang gagawin ng may-ari ng ubasan? Pupuntahan niya at papatayin ang mga magsasakang iyon, at ang ubasan ay ipapamahala niya sa iba. 10 Hindi(C) ba ninyo nabasa ang sinasabi sa kasulatan?

‘Ang batong itinakwil ng mga tagapagtayo ng bahay
    ang siyang naging batong-panulukan.

11 Ito'y ginawa ng Panginoon,

    at kahanga-hangang pagmasdan.’”

12 Nang mahalata ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio na sila ang tinutukoy ni Jesus sa mga talinghagang iyon, tinangka nilang dakpin siya. Subalit hindi nila ito magawa sapagkat natatakot sila sa mga tao. Kaya't umalis na lamang sila at iniwan si Jesus.

Ang Pagbabayad ng Buwis(D)

13 Ilang Pariseo at ilan sa mga tagasunod ni Herodes ang pinapunta kay Jesus upang siluin siya sa kanyang pananalita. 14 Kaya lumapit sila sa kanya at sinabi, “Guro, nalalaman po naming kayo'y tapat at walang kinikilingan. Pantay-pantay ang pagtingin ninyo sa lahat ng tao at itinuturo ninyo ang tunay na kalooban ng Diyos para sa tao. Nais po naming itanong kung labag sa Kautusan ang magbayad ng buwis sa Emperador. Dapat po ba kaming magbayad ng buwis o hindi?”

15 Alam ni Jesus na sila'y nagkukunwari lamang, kaya sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit ba ninyo ako sinusubok? Bigyan ninyo ako ng isang salaping pilak.[a]

16 At siya nga ay binigyan nila ng salaping pilak. “Kaninong larawan at pangalan ang nakaukit dito?” tanong ni Jesus sa kanila.

“Sa Emperador po,” tugon nila.

17 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ibigay ninyo sa Emperador ang para sa Emperador, at sa Diyos ang para sa Diyos.”

At sila'y labis na namangha sa kanya.

Ang Tanong tungkol sa Muling Pagkabuhay(E)

18 May(F) ilang Saduseo na lumapit kay Jesus upang magtanong. Ang mga ito ay nagtuturo na hindi muling mabubuhay ang mga patay. Sinabi nila, 19 “Guro,(G) isinulat po ni Moises para sa atin, ‘Kapag namatay ang isang lalaki at naiwang walang anak ang kanyang asawa, ang kapatid ng lalaki ay dapat pakasal sa biyuda upang magkaanak sila para sa namatay.’ 20 Mayroon pong pitong magkakapatid na lalaki. Nag-asawa ang panganay, subalit siya'y namatay na walang anak. 21 Pinakasalan ng pangalawang kapatid ang biyuda subalit namatay rin ang lalaki na walang anak. Ganoon din ang nangyari sa pangatlo. 22 Isa-isang napangasawa ng babae ang pitong magkakapatid at silang lahat ay namatay na walang anak. Sa kahuli-huliha'y ang babae naman ang namatay. 23 [Kapag binuhay na muli ang mga patay][b] sa araw ng muling pagkabuhay, sino po ba sa pitong magkakapatid ang kikilalaning asawa ng babaing iyon, sapagkat silang lahat ay napangasawa niya?”

24 Sumagot si Jesus, “Maling-mali kayo dahil hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang itinuturo ng Kasulatan at ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos. 25 Sa muling pagkabuhay, ang mga tao'y hindi na mag-aasawa; sila'y magiging katulad na ng mga anghel sa langit. 26 Tungkol(H) naman sa muling pagkabuhay, hindi ba ninyo nabasa sa aklat ni Moises, sa kasaysayan ng nagliliyab na mababang puno, ang sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya? Ito ang sinabi niya, ‘Ako ang Diyos ni Abraham, Diyos ni Isaac, at Diyos ni Jacob.’ 27 Ang Diyos ay hindi Diyos ng mga patay; siya ang Diyos ng mga buháy. Talagang maling-mali kayo!”

Ang Dalawang Pinakamahalagang Utos(I)

28 Ang(J) kanilang pagtatalo ay narinig ng isa sa mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na naroon. Nakita niyang mahusay ang pagkasagot ni Jesus sa mga Saduseo kaya siya naman ang lumapit upang magtanong, “Alin po ba ang pinakamahalagang utos?”

29 Sumagot(K) si Jesus, “Ito ang pinakamahalagang utos: ‘Pakinggan mo, Israel! Ang Panginoon na ating Diyos—siya lamang ang Panginoon. 30 Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso mo, buong kaluluwa mo, buong pag-iisip mo at buong lakas mo.’ 31 Ito(L) naman ang pangalawa, ‘Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa gaya ng pag-ibig mo sa iyong sarili.’ Wala nang ibang utos na hihigit pa sa mga ito.”

32 Wika(M) ng tagapagturo ng Kautusan, “Tama po, Guro! Totoo ang sinabi ninyo. Iisa nga ang Diyos at wala nang iba liban sa kanya. 33 At(N) higit na mahalaga ang umibig sa kanya nang buong puso, buong pag-iisip at buong lakas, at ang umibig sa kapwa gaya ng pag-ibig sa sarili, kaysa magdala ng lahat ng handog na susunugin at iba pang mga alay.”

34 Nakita ni Jesus na maganda ang sagot nito kaya't sinabi niya, “Hindi ka na nalalayo sa kaharian ng Diyos.” At mula noon ay wala nang nangahas na magtanong kay Jesus.

Ang Tanong ni Jesus tungkol sa Anak ni David(O)

35 Habang si Jesus ay nagtuturo sa Templo, sinabi niya, “Bakit sinasabi ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na ang Cristo ay anak ni David? 36 Hindi(P) ba't si David na rin ang nagpahayag ng ganito nang siya'y gabayan ng Espiritu Santo:

“Sinabi ng Panginoon sa aking Panginoon,
    ‘Maupo ka sa kanan ko,
    hanggang lubusan kong mapasuko sa iyo ang mga kaaway mo.’”

37 Si David na rin ang tumawag sa kanya ng Panginoon; paano siya magiging anak ni David?”

Babala Laban sa mga Tagapagturo ng Kautusan(Q)

Napakaraming tao ang malugod na nakikinig sa kanya. 38 Sa kanyang pagtuturo, sinabi ni Jesus, “Mag-ingat kayo sa mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na mahilig magpalakad-lakad na suot ang kanilang mahahabang damit at gustung-gustong binabati nang may paggalang sa mga pamilihan. 39 Ang gusto nila ay ang mga natatanging upuan sa mga sinagoga at ang mga upuang pandangal sa mga handaan. 40 Inuubos nila ang kabuhayan ng mga biyuda at ang mahahaba nilang dasal ay mga pagkukunwari lamang. Dahil diyan, mas mabigat na parusa ang igagawad sa kanila.”

Ang Kaloob ng Biyuda(R)

41 Naupo si Jesus sa tapat ng hulugan ng mga kaloob sa Templo, at pinagmasdan ang mga naghuhulog ng salapi. Napansin niyang maraming mayayaman ang naghuhulog ng malalaking halaga. 42 Lumapit naman ang isang biyudang dukha at naghulog ng dalawang salaping tanso. 43 Tinawag ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanila, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang inihandog ng biyudang iyon ay higit na marami kaysa sa inihulog nilang lahat. 44 Sapagkat ang lahat ay nagkaloob ng bahagi lamang ng kanilang kayamanan, ngunit ang ibinigay ng babaing iyon, bagama't siya'y dukha, ay ang buo niyang ikinabubuhay.”

  2. 23 Kapag binuhay na muli ang mga patay: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito.

12 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'

And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

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. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.

“He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,(C) saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

“But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

“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:

“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
    under your feet.”’[h](AF)

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)
