Притча о злых виноградарях(A)

12 И Он стал говорить с ними притчами.

– Один человек посадил виноградник, обнёс его забором, выкопал яму для давильни[a] и построил сторожевую башню.[b] Он отдал виноградник внаём виноградарям, а сам уехал в далёкую страну. Когда пришло время, он послал раба к виноградарям, чтобы тот забрал у них причитающуюся ему часть урожая. Но виноградари схватили раба, избили и отослали с пустыми руками. Тогда хозяин послал к ним другого раба; но они разбили ему голову и издевались над ним. Хозяин послал ещё одного раба; его виноградари убили. Он посылал ещё многих рабов, но виноградари одних избивали, других убивали. В конце концов у хозяина остался только его единственный любимый сын. Он послал его к ним последним. «Сына-то моего они устыдятся», – думал он. Но виноградари сказали друг другу: «Это наследник. Давайте убьём его, и наследство будет нашим». Они схватили его, убили и выбросили его из виноградника. Что же сделает хозяин виноградника? Конечно же, он придёт и убьёт виноградарей, а виноградник отдаст другим. 10 Разве вы не читали в Писании:

«Камень, который отвергли строители,
    стал краеугольным.
11 Это совершил Вечный,
    и как это удивительно для нас!»[c]

12 Когда предводители народа поняли, что эту притчу Иса рассказал о них, они хотели арестовать Его, но побоялись народа. Поэтому они оставили Его и ушли.

Вопрос об уплате налогов(B)

13 Потом они подослали к Исе блюстителей Закона и сторонников правителя Ирода, чтобы те поймали Его на слове. 14 Подойдя к Исе, они сказали:

– Учитель! Мы знаем, что Ты Человек честный и не стремишься никому угодить. Ты беспристрастен и истинно учишь пути Всевышнего. Следует ли платить налог римскому императору или нет? Платить нам или не платить?

15 Иса, зная их лицемерие, сказал:

– Вы хотите поймать Меня на слове? Принесите Мне посмотреть серебряную монету[d].

16 Ему принесли монету, и Он спросил:

– Кто на ней изображён и чьё на ней имя?

– Императора, – ответили они.

17 – Отдавайте императору то, что принадлежит императору, а Всевышнему – то, что принадлежит Всевышнему, – сказал им Иса. Они были поражены Его ответом.

Вопрос о воскресении мёртвых(C)

18 К Исе подошли саддукеи[e], которые утверждают, что нет воскресения мёртвых. Они спросили Его:

19 – Учитель, Муса написал, что если у кого-либо умрёт брат, оставив жену, но не оставив детей, то он должен жениться на вдове и восстановить род своему брату.[f] 20 Было семеро братьев. Первый женился и умер, не оставив потомства. 21 На вдове женился его брат и тоже умер, не оставив потомства. То же самое произошло и с третьим. 22 Брали её за себя все семеро, и никто из них не оставил после себя детей. После всех умерла и женщина. 23 Чьей женой будет эта женщина после воскресения? Ведь все семеро были женаты на ней.

24 Иса ответил им:

– Не потому ли вы заблуждаетесь, что не знаете ни Писания, ни силы Всевышнего? 25 Воскресшие из мёртвых не будут ни жениться, ни выходить замуж, а будут как ангелы на небесах. 26 А о том, что мёртвые воскресают, разве вы не читали в Таурате, в книге Мусы, историю о терновом кусте? Там Всевышний сказал Мусе: «Я – Бог Ибрахима, Бог Исхака и Бог Якуба»[g]. 27 Он Бог не мёртвых, а живых. Вы глубоко заблуждаетесь.

Самое важное повеление(D)

28 Один из учителей Таурата, слушая этот спор, заметил, как хорошо ответил Иса, и спросил у Него:

– Какое из повелений в Законе самое важное?

29 Иса ответил:

– Самое важное повеление – это: «Слушай, Исраил! Вечный, наш Бог, – единый Бог.[h] 30 Люби Вечного, Бога твоего, всем сердцем и всей душой, всем разумом и всеми силами своими»[i]. 31 Второе повеление: «Люби ближнего твоего, как самого себя»[j]. Нет повелений важнее этих двух.

32 Учитель Таурата сказал:

– Прекрасно, Учитель. Ты прав, говоря, что Всевышний один, и нет другого Бога, кроме Него. 33 Любить Его всем сердцем, всем разумом, всеми силами и любить ближнего, как самого себя, – это важнее, чем все всесожжения и жертвы.

34 Иса, видя, как разумно ответил учитель Таурата, сказал ему:

– Недалеко ты от Царства Всевышнего.

С тех пор никто больше не решался задавать Ему вопросы.

Масих – Повелитель Давуда(E)

35 Продолжая учить в храме, Иса сказал:

– Почему учители Таурата говорят, что Масих – лишь сын Давуда? 36 Ведь сам Давуд сказал под водительством Святого Духа:

«Вечный сказал моему Повелителю:
    сядь по правую руку от Меня,
пока Я не повергну всех врагов Твоих
    к ногам Твоим»[k].

37 Сам Давуд называет Масиха Повелителем. Как же в таком случае Он может быть всего лишь его сыном?

Большая толпа слушала Ису с радостью.

Предостережение от лицемерия(F)

38 А Он учил:

– Остерегайтесь учителей Таурата. Они любят наряжаться в длинные одежды и любят, когда их приветствуют в людных местах. 39 Они сидят на самых почётных местах в молитвенных домах и на званых обедах. 40 Они разоряют дома вдов и напоказ долго молятся. Таких ждёт очень суровое наказание.

Щедрое пожертвование бедной вдовы(G)

41 Сев напротив сокровищницы храма, Иса смотрел, как люди кладут в неё деньги. Многие богачи бросали помногу. 42 Но вот подошла бедная вдова и бросила две медные монетки[l]. 43 Иса подозвал учеников и сказал им:

– Говорю вам истину, эта бедная вдова положила больше всех, кто клал в сокровищницу, 44 потому что все давали от своего избытка, а она от своей нищеты положила всё, что у неё было на жизнь.

The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers(A)

12 Then (B)He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to [a]vinedressers and went into a far country. Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers. And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent them another servant, [b]and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, (C)beating some and killing some. Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those [c]vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and (D)killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.

“Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not even read this Scripture:

(E)‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
11 This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12 (F)And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.

The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(G)

13 (H)Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words. 14 When they had come, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and [d]care about no one; for You do not [e]regard the person of men, but teach the (I)way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?”

But He, knowing their (J)hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it. 16 So they brought it.

And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

17 And Jesus answered and said to them, [f]“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to (K)God the things that are God’s.”

And they marveled at Him.

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(L)

18 (M)Then some Sadducees, (N)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying: 19 “Teacher, (O)Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise. 22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. 23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”

24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore [g]mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (P)are like angels in heaven. 26 But concerning the dead, that they (Q)rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, (R)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly [h]mistaken.”

The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(S)

28 (T)Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, [i]perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the [j]first commandment of all?”

29 Jesus answered him, “The [k]first of all the commandments is: (U)‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall (V)love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [l]This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: (W)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than (X)these.”

32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, (Y)and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, [m]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, (Z)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

(AA)But after that no one dared question Him.

Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?(AB)

35 (AC)Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? 36 For David himself said (AD)by the Holy Spirit:

(AE)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his (AF)Son?”

And the common people heard Him gladly.

Beware of the Scribes(AG)

38 Then (AH)He said to them in His teaching, (AI)“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, (AJ)love greetings in the marketplaces, 39 the (AK)best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 40 (AL)who devour widows’ houses, and [n]for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

The Widow’s Two Mites(AM)

41 (AN)Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money (AO)into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two [o]mites, which make a [p]quadrans. 43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that (AP)this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, (AQ)her whole livelihood.”

The Parable of the Tenants

12 (A)And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted (B)a vineyard (C)and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and (D)leased it to tenants and (E)went into another country. When the season came, he sent a servant[a] to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. (F)And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. (G)Again (H)he sent to them another servant, and (I)they struck him on the head and (J)treated him shamefully. (K)And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. He had still one other, (L)a beloved son. (M)Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those tenants said to one another, (N)‘This is the heir. Come, (O)let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ And they took him and killed him and (P)threw him out of the vineyard. What will the owner of the vineyard do? (Q)He will (R)come and destroy the tenants and (S)give the vineyard to others. 10 (T)Have you not read (U)this Scripture:

(V)“‘The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;[b]
11 this was the Lord's doing,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12 And (W)they were seeking to arrest him (X)but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they (Y)left him and went away.

Paying Taxes to Caesar

13 (Z)And they sent to him some of (AA)the Pharisees and some of (AB)the Herodians, to (AC)trap him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, “Teacher, (AD)we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For (AE)you are not swayed by appearances,[c] but truly teach (AF)the way of God. Is it lawful to pay (AG)taxes to (AH)Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” 15 But, knowing (AI)their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why (AJ)put me to the test? Bring me (AK)a denarius[d] and let me look at it.” 16 And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar's.” 17 Jesus said to them, (AL)“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him.

The Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

18 And (AM)Sadducees came to him, (AN)who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that (AO)if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man[e] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22 And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”

24 Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because (AP)you know neither the Scriptures nor (AQ)the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither (AR)marry nor (AS)are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 And as for the dead being raised, (AT)have you not read in (AU)the book of Moses, in (AV)the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, (AW)‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.”

The Great Commandment

28 (AX)And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, (AY)‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, (AZ)the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 (BA)The second is this: (BB)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment (BC)greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that (BD)he is one, and (BE)there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the heart and with all (BF)the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, (BG)is much more than all (BH)whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” (BI)And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Whose Son Is the Christ?

35 (BJ)And as (BK)Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that (BL)the Christ is the son of David? 36 David himself, (BM)in the Holy Spirit, declared,

(BN)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
    until I put your enemies (BO)under your feet.”’

37 David himself calls him Lord. So (BP)how is he his son?” And the great throng (BQ)heard him gladly.

Beware of the Scribes

38 (BR)And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39 and have the best seats in the synagogues and (BS)the places of honor at feasts, 40 (BT)who devour widows' houses and (BU)for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”

The Widow's Offering

41 (BV)And he sat down opposite (BW)the treasury and watched the people (BX)putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two (BY)small copper coins, which make a penny.[f] 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, (BZ)this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her (CA)poverty has put in everything she had, all (CB)she had to live on.”
