Lucas 20
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
O batismo de João(A)
20 E aconteceu, num daqueles dias, que, estando ele ensinando o povo no templo e anunciando o evangelho, sobrevieram os principais dos sacerdotes e os escribas com os anciãos 2 e falaram-lhe, dizendo: Dize-nos: com que autoridade fazes essas coisas? Ou quem é que te deu esta autoridade? 3 E, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Também eu vos farei uma pergunta: dizei-me, pois: 4 o batismo de João era do céu ou dos homens? 5 E eles arrazoavam entre si, dizendo: Se dissermos: do céu, ele nos dirá: Então, por que o não crestes? 6 E, se dissermos: dos homens, todo o povo nos apedrejará, pois têm por certo que João era profeta. 7 E responderam que não sabiam de onde era. 8 E Jesus lhes disse: Tampouco vos direi com que autoridade faço isto.
A parábola dos lavradores maus(B)
9 E começou a dizer ao povo esta parábola: Certo homem plantou uma vinha, e arrendou-a a uns lavradores, e partiu para fora da terra por muito tempo. 10 E, no devido tempo, mandou um servo aos lavradores, para que lhe dessem dos frutos da vinha; mas os lavradores, espancando-o, mandaram-no vazio. 11 E tornou ainda a mandar outro servo; mas eles, espancando também a este e afrontando-o, mandaram-no vazio. 12 E tornou ainda a mandar um terceiro; mas eles, ferindo também a este, o expulsaram. 13 E disse o senhor da vinha: Que farei? Mandarei o meu filho amado; talvez, vendo-o, o respeitem. 14 Mas, vendo-o os lavradores, arrazoaram entre si dizendo: Este é o herdeiro; vinde, matemo-lo, para que a herança seja nossa. 15 E, lançando-o fora da vinha, o mataram. Que lhes fará, pois, o senhor da vinha? 16 Irá, e destruirá estes lavradores, e dará a outros a vinha. E, ouvindo eles isso, disseram: Não seja assim! 17 Mas ele, olhando para eles, disse: Que é isto, pois, que está escrito? A pedra que os edificadores reprovaram, essa foi feita cabeça da esquina. 18 Qualquer que cair sobre aquela pedra ficará em pedaços, e aquele sobre quem ela cair será feito em pó.
A questão do tributo(C)
19 E os principais dos sacerdotes e os escribas procuravam lançar mão dele naquela mesma hora; mas temeram o povo, porque entenderam que contra eles dissera esta parábola. 20 E, trazendo-o debaixo de olho, mandaram espias que se fingiam de justos, para o apanharem em alguma palavra e o entregarem à jurisdição e poder do governador. 21 E perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: Mestre, nós sabemos que falas e ensinas bem e retamente e que não consideras a aparência da pessoa, mas ensinas com verdade o caminho de Deus. 22 É-nos lícito dar tributo a César ou não? 23 E, entendendo ele a sua astúcia, disse-lhes: Por que me tentais? 24 Mostrai-me uma moeda. De quem tem a imagem e a inscrição? E, respondendo eles, disseram: De César. 25 Disse-lhes, então: Dai, pois, a César o que é de César e a Deus, o que é de Deus. 26 E não puderam apanhá-lo em palavra alguma diante do povo; e, maravilhados da sua resposta, calaram-se.
Os saduceus e a ressurreição(D)
27 E, chegando-se alguns dos saduceus, que dizem não haver ressurreição, perguntaram-lhe, 28 dizendo: Mestre, Moisés nos deixou escrito que, se o irmão de alguém falecer, tendo mulher e não deixar filhos, o irmão dele tome a mulher e suscite posteridade a seu irmão. 29 Houve, pois, sete irmãos, e o primeiro tomou mulher e morreu sem filhos; 30 e o segundo 31 e o terceiro também a tomaram, e, igualmente, os sete. Todos eles morreram e não deixaram filhos. 32 E, por último, depois de todos, morreu também a mulher. 33 Portanto, na ressurreição, de qual deles será a mulher, pois que os sete por mulher a tiveram? 34 E, respondendo Jesus, disse-lhes: Os filhos deste mundo casam-se e dão-se em casamento, 35 mas os que forem havidos por dignos de alcançar o mundo vindouro e a ressurreição dos mortos nem hão de casar, nem ser dados em casamento; 36 porque já não podem mais morrer, pois são iguais aos anjos e são filhos de Deus, sendo filhos da ressurreição. 37 E que os mortos hão de ressuscitar também o mostrou Moisés junto da sarça, quando chama ao Senhor Deus de Abraão, e Deus de Isaque, e Deus de Jacó. 38 Ora, Deus não é Deus de mortos, mas de vivos, porque para ele vivem todos. 39 E, respondendo alguns dos escribas, disseram: Mestre, disseste bem. 40 E não ousavam perguntar-lhe mais coisa alguma.
Cristo, o Filho de Davi(E)
41 E ele lhes disse: Como dizem que o Cristo é Filho de Davi? 42 Visto como o mesmo Davi diz no livro dos Salmos: Disse o Senhor ao meu Senhor: Assenta-te à minha direita, 43 até que eu ponha os teus inimigos por escabelo de teus pés. 44 Se Davi lhe chama Senhor, como é ele seu filho?
Jesus censura os escribas(F)
45 E, ouvindo-o todo o povo, disse Jesus aos seus discípulos: 46 Guardai-vos dos escribas, que querem andar com vestes compridas e amam as saudações nas praças, e as principais cadeiras nas sinagogas, e os primeiros lugares nos banquetes; 47 que devoram as casas das viúvas, fazendo, por pretexto, largas orações. Estes receberão maior condenação.
Luke 20
GOD’S WORD Translation
Jesus’ Authority Challenged(A)
20 One day Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courtyard and telling them the Good News. The chief priests, the experts in Moses’ Teachings, and the leaders came up to him. 2 They asked him, “Tell us, what gives you the right to do these things? Who told you that you could do this?”
3 Jesus answered them, “I, too, have a question for you. Tell me, 4 did John’s right to baptize come from heaven or from humans?”
5 They talked about this among themselves. They said, “If we say, ‘from heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘from humans,’ everyone will stone us to death. They’re convinced that John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered that they didn’t know who gave John the right to baptize.
8 Jesus told them, “Then I won’t tell you why I have the right to do these things.”
A Story about a Vineyard(B)
9 Then, using this illustration, Jesus spoke to the people: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to vineyard workers, and went on a long trip.
10 “At the right time he sent a servant to the workers to obtain from them a share of the grapes from the vineyard. But the workers beat the servant and sent him back with nothing. 11 So he sent a different servant. The workers beat him, treated him shamefully, and sent him back with nothing. 12 Then he sent a third servant. But they injured this one and threw him out ⌞of the vineyard⌟.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I’ll send my son, whom I love. They’ll probably respect him.’
14 “When the workers saw him, they talked it over among themselves. They said, ‘This is the heir. Let’s kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“What will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will destroy these workers and give the vineyard to others.”
Those who heard him said, “That’s unthinkable!”
17 Then Jesus looked straight at them and asked, “What, then, does this Scripture verse mean:
‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone’?
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken. If that stone falls on anyone, it will crush that person.”
19 The experts in Moses’ Teachings and the chief priests wanted to arrest him right there, but they were afraid of the people. They knew that he had directed this illustration at them.
A Question about Taxes(C)
20 So they watched for an opportunity to send out some spies. The spies were to act like sincere religious people. They wanted to catch him saying the wrong thing so that they could hand him over to the governor. 21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you’re right in what you say and teach. Besides, you don’t play favorites. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to the emperor or not?”
23 He saw through their scheme, so he said to them, 24 “Show me a coin. Whose face and name is this?”
They answered, “The emperor’s.”
25 He said to them, “Well, then give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God.”
26 They couldn’t make him say anything wrong in front of the people. His answer surprised them, so they said no more.
The Dead Come Back to Life(D)
27 Some Sadducees, who say that people will never come back to life, came to Jesus. They asked him, 28 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, ‘If a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry his widow and have children for his brother.’ 29 There were seven brothers. The first got married and died without having children. 30 Then the second brother married the widow, 31 and so did the third. In the same way all seven brothers married the widow, died, and left no children. 32 Finally, the woman died. 33 Now, when the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her.”
34 Jesus said to them, “In this world people get married. 35 But people who are considered worthy to come back to life and live in the next world will neither marry 36 nor die anymore. They are the same as the angels. They are God’s children who have come back to life.
37 “Even Moses showed in the passage about the bush that the dead come back to life. He says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 38 He’s not the God of the dead but of the living. In God’s sight all people are living.”
39 Some experts in Moses’ Teachings responded, “Teacher, that was well said.” 40 From that time on, no one dared to ask him another question.
How Can David’s Son Be David’s Lord?(E)
41 Jesus said to them, “How can people say that the Messiah is David’s son? 42 David says in the book of Psalms,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Take the honored position—the one next to me [God the Father] on the heavenly throne—
43 until I put your enemies under your control.” ’
44 David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”
Jesus Disapproves of the Example Set by the Experts in Moses’ Teachings(F)
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples, 46 “Beware of the experts in Moses’ Teachings! They like to walk around in long robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces, to have the front seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at dinners. 47 They rob widows by taking their houses and then say long prayers to make themselves look good. The experts in Moses’ Teachings will receive the most severe punishment.”
Luke 20
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.”
