Parábola de los labradores malvados(A)

12 Entonces comenzó Jesús a hablarles en parábolas: «Un hombre plantó un viñedo. Lo cercó, cavó un lagar y construyó una torre de vigilancia. Luego arrendó el viñedo a unos labradores y se fue de viaje. 2 Llegada la cosecha, mandó un siervo a los labradores para recibir de ellos parte de la cosecha. 3 Pero ellos lo agarraron, lo golpearon y lo despidieron con las manos vacías. 4 Entonces les mandó otro siervo; a este le rompieron la cabeza y lo humillaron. 5 Mandó a otro y a este lo mataron. Mandó a otros muchos, a unos los golpearon, a otros los mataron.

6 »Le quedaba todavía uno, su hijo amado. Por último lo mandó a él, pensando: “¡A mi hijo sí lo respetarán!”. 7 Pero aquellos labradores se dijeron unos a otros: “Este es el heredero. Matémoslo y la herencia será nuestra”. 8 Así que le echaron mano y lo mataron, y lo arrojaron fuera del viñedo.

9 »¿Qué hará el dueño? Volverá, acabará con los labradores y dará el viñedo a otros. 10 ¿No han leído ustedes esta Escritura:

»“La piedra que desecharon los constructores
    ha llegado a ser la piedra angular.
11 Esto ha sido obra del Señor
    y nos deja maravillados”?».[a]

12 Cayendo en cuenta de que la parábola iba dirigida contra ellos, buscaban la manera de arrestarlo. Pero temían a la multitud; así que lo dejaron y se fueron.

El pago de impuestos al césar(B)

13 Luego enviaron a Jesús algunos de los fariseos y los partidarios del rey Herodes para tenderle una trampa con sus mismas palabras. 14 Al llegar dijeron:

—Maestro, sabemos que eres un hombre íntegro. No te dejas influir por nadie porque no te fijas en las apariencias, sino que enseñas el camino de Dios de acuerdo con la verdad. ¿Está permitido pagar impuestos al césar o no? ¿Debemos pagar o no?

15 Pero Jesús, sabiendo que fingían, respondió:

—¿Por qué me tienden trampas? Tráiganme una moneda romana[b] para verla.

16 Le llevaron la moneda y él les preguntó:

—¿De quién es esta imagen y esta inscripción?

—Del césar —contestaron.

17 Y Jesús les dijo:

—Denle, pues, al césar lo que es del césar y a Dios lo que es de Dios.

Y quedaron admirados de él.

El matrimonio en la resurrección(C)

18 Entonces los saduceos, que dicen que no hay resurrección, fueron a verlo y le plantearon un problema:

19 —Maestro, Moisés nos enseñó en sus escritos que si un hombre muere y deja a la viuda sin hijos, el hermano de ese hombre tiene que casarse con la viuda para que su hermano tenga descendencia. 20 Ahora bien, había siete hermanos. El primero se casó y murió sin dejar descendencia. 21 El segundo se casó con la viuda, pero también murió sin dejar descendencia. Lo mismo le pasó al tercero. 22 En fin, ninguno de los siete dejó descendencia. Por último, murió también la mujer. 23 En la resurrección, ¿de cuál será esposa esta mujer, ya que los siete estuvieron casados con ella?

24 —¿Acaso no andan ustedes equivocados? —respondió Jesús—. ¡Es que desconocen las Escrituras y el poder de Dios! 25 Cuando resuciten los muertos, no se casarán ni serán dados en casamiento, sino que serán como los ángeles que están en el cielo. 26 Pero en cuanto a que los muertos resucitan, ¿no han leído en el libro de Moisés, en el pasaje sobre la zarza, cómo Dios le dijo: “Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob”?[c] 27 Él no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos. ¡Ustedes andan muy equivocados!

El mandamiento más importante(D)

28 Uno de los maestros de la Ley se acercó y los oyó discutiendo. Al ver lo bien que Jesús había contestado, preguntó:

—De todos los mandamientos, ¿cuál es el más importante?

29 Jesús contestó:

—El más importante es: “Escucha, Israel: El Señor nuestro Dios es el único Señor.[d] 30 Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con toda tu mente y con todas tus fuerzas”.[e] 31 El segundo es: “Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”.[f] No hay otro mandamiento más importante que estos.

32 —Bien dicho, Maestro —respondió el maestro de la Ley—. Tienes razón al decir que Dios es uno solo y que no hay otro fuera de él. 33 Amarlo con todo el corazón, con todo el entendimiento y con todas las fuerzas, y amar al prójimo como a uno mismo, es más importante que todos los holocaustos y sacrificios.

34 Al ver Jesús que había respondido con inteligencia, le dijo:

—No estás lejos del reino de Dios.

Y desde entonces nadie se atrevió a hacerle más preguntas.

¿De quién es hijo el Cristo?(E)(F)

35 Mientras enseñaba en el Templo, Jesús les propuso:

—¿Cómo es que los maestros de la Ley dicen que el Cristo es descendiente de David? 36 David mismo, hablando por el Espíritu Santo, declaró:

»“Dijo el Señor a mi Señor:
    ‘Siéntate a mi derecha,
hasta que ponga a tus enemigos
    debajo de tus pies’ ”.[g]

37 Si David mismo lo llama “Señor”, ¿cómo puede entonces ser su descendiente?

La muchedumbre lo escuchaba con agrado.

38 Como parte de su enseñanza Jesús decía:

—Tengan cuidado de los maestros de la Ley. Les gusta pasearse con ropas ostentosas y que los saluden en las plazas, 39 ocupar los primeros asientos en las sinagogas y los lugares de honor en los banquetes. 40 Se apoderan de los bienes de las viudas y a la vez hacen largas plegarias para impresionar a los demás. Estos recibirán peor castigo.

La ofrenda de la viuda(G)

41 Jesús se sentó frente al lugar donde se depositaban las ofrendas, y estuvo observando cómo la gente echaba sus monedas en las alcancías del Templo. Muchos ricos echaban grandes cantidades. 42 Pero una viuda pobre llegó y echó dos moneditas de muy poco valor.[h]

43 Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y dijo: «Les aseguro que esta viuda pobre ha echado en el tesoro más que todos los demás. 44 Porque todos ellos dieron de lo que les sobraba; pero ella, de su pobreza, echó todo lo que tenía, todo su sustento».

The Parable of the Tenant Farmers in the Vineyard

12 And he began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey. 2 And he sent a slave to the tenant farmers at the proper time, so that he could collect some of the fruit of the vineyard from the tenant farmers. 3 And they seized him and[a] beat him[b] and sent him[c] away empty-handed. 4 And again he sent to them another slave, and that one they struck on the head and dishonored. 5 And he sent another, and that one they killed. And he sent[d] many others, some of whom they beat and some of whom they killed. 6 He had one more, a beloved son. Last of all he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 But those tenant farmers said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours!’ 8 And they seized and[e] killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. 9 What[f] will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not read this scripture:

‘The stone which the builders rejected,
    this has become the cornerstone.[g]
11 This came about from the Lord,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”[h]

12 And they were seeking to arrest him, and they were afraid of the crowd, because they knew that he had told the parable with reference to them. And they left him and[i] went away.

Paying Taxes to Caesar

13 And they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him so that they could catch him unawares in a statement. 14 And when they[j] came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and you do not care what anyone thinks,[k] because you do not regard the opinion of people[l] but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?” 15 But because he[m] knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at it!”[n] 16 So they brought one.[o] And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” And they said to him, “Caesar’s.” 17 And Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!” And they were utterly amazed at him.

A Question About Marriage and the Resurrection

18 And Sadducees—who say there is no resurrection—came up to him and began to ask[p] him, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone’s brother dies and he leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and father[q] descendants for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And when he[r] died, he did not leave descendants. 21 And the second took her, and he died without leaving descendants. And the third likewise. 22 And the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose[s] wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife. 24 Jesus said to them, “Are you not deceived because of this, because you[t] do not know the scriptures or the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses in the passage about the bush[u] how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?[v] 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are very much mistaken!”

The Greatest Commandment

28 And one of the scribes came up and[w] heard them debating. When he[x] saw that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.’[y] 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’[z] There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “That is true, Teacher. You have said correctly[aa] that he is one and there is no other except him. 33 And to love him from your[ab] whole heart and from your[ac] whole understanding and from your[ad] whole strength, and to love your[ae] neighbor as yourself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And Jesus, when he[af] saw that he had answered thoughtfully, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to put a question to him any longer.

David’s Son and Lord

35 And continuing, Jesus said while[ag] teaching in the temple courts,[ah] “How can the scribes say that the Christ is David’s son? 36 David himself said by the Holy Spirit,

‘The Lord said to my Lord,
    “Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies
    under your feet.”’[ai]

37 David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.

Warning to Beware of the Scribes

38 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and greetings in the marketplaces 39 and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets, 40 who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy prayers for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!”

A Poor Widow’s Offering

41 And he sat down opposite the contribution box and[aj] was observing how the crowd was putting coins into the contribution box. And many rich people were putting in many coins.[ak] 42 And one poor widow came and[al] put in two small copper coins[am] (that is, a penny).[an] 43 And summoning his disciples, he said to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all those who put offerings[ao] into the contribution box. 44 For they all contributed[ap] out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in everything she had, her whole means of subsistence.”
