Gleichnis der Weingärtner
12 Und er fing an in Gleichnissen zu ihnen zu reden:
Ein Mensch pflanzte einen Weinberg und zog einen Zaun darum und grub eine Kelter und baute einen Turm und verpachtete ihn an Weingärtner und zog außer Landes. 2 Und er sandte zur bestimmten Zeit einen Knecht zu den Weingärtnern, damit er von den Weingärtnern von den Früchten des Weinberges empfinge. 3 Die aber ergriffen ihn, schlugen ihn und schickten ihn mit leeren Händen fort. 4 Und wiederum sandte er einen andern Knecht zu ihnen; den schlugen sie auf den Kopf und beschimpften ihn. 5 Und er sandte wiederum einen andern; den töteten sie; und viele andere, die einen schlugen sie, die andern töteten sie.
6 Nun hatte er noch einen einzigen Sohn, der war ihm lieb; den sandte er zuletzt auch zu ihnen und sprach: Sie werden sich vor meinem Sohne scheuen! 7 Jene Weingärtner aber sprachen untereinander: Das ist der Erbe! Kommt, laßt uns ihn töten, so wird das Erbgut unser sein! 8 Und sie nahmen ihn, töteten ihn und warfen ihn zum Weinberg hinaus.
9 Was wird nun der Herr des Weinbergs tun? Er wird kommen und die Weingärtner umbringen und den Weinberg andern geben.
10 Habt ihr nicht auch dieses Schriftwort gelesen:
„Der Stein, den die Bauleute verworfen haben, der ist zum Eckstein geworden.
11 Vom Herrn ist das geschehen, und es ist wunderbar in unseren Augen“?
12 Da suchten sie ihn zu ergreifen, aber sie fürchteten das Volk; denn sie merkten, daß er gegen sie das Gleichnis gesagt hatte. Und sie ließen ab von ihm und gingen davon.
Die Steuer für den Kaiser
13 Und sie sandten zu ihm etliche von den Pharisäern und Herodianern, um ihn in der Rede zu fangen. 14 Diese kamen und sprachen zu ihm: Meister, wir wissen, daß du wahrhaftig bist und dich um niemand kümmerst; denn du siehst die Person der Menschen nicht an, sondern lehrst den Weg Gottes der Wahrheit gemäß. Ist es erlaubt, dem Kaiser die Steuer zu geben, oder nicht? Sollen wir sie geben oder nicht? 15 Da er aber ihre Heuchelei sah, sprach er zu ihnen: Was versucht ihr mich? Bringet mir einen Denar, damit ich ihn ansehe! 16 Sie brachten einen. Und er spricht zu ihnen: Wessen ist dieses Bild und die Aufschrift? Sie sprachen zu ihm: Des Kaisers!
17 Und Jesus antwortete und sprach: Gebet dem Kaiser, was des Kaisers ist, und Gott, was Gottes ist! Und sie verwunderten sich über ihn.
Der Beweis der Auferstehung
18 Und es kamen Sadduzäer zu ihm, die da sagen, es gebe keine Auferstehung; die fragten ihn und sprachen: 19 Meister, Mose hat uns geschrieben: Wenn jemandes Bruder stirbt und eine Frau hinterläßt, aber keine Kinder, so soll sein Bruder dessen Frau nehmen und seinem Bruder eine Nachkommenschaft erwecken[a]. 20 Nun sind sieben Brüder gewesen. Der erste nahm eine Frau und starb und hinterließ keine Nachkommenschaft. 21 Da nahm sie der andere und starb, und auch er hinterließ keine Nachkommenschaft; und der dritte ebenso. 22 Und es nahmen sie alle sieben und hinterließen keine Nachkommen. Zuletzt nach allen starb auch die Frau. 23 In der Auferstehung nun, wenn sie auferstehen, wessen Frau wird sie sein? Denn alle sieben haben sie zur Frau gehabt.
24 Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Irret ihr nicht darum, weil ihr weder die Schrift kennet noch die Kraft Gottes? 25 Denn wenn sie von den Toten auferstehen, so werden sie weder freien, noch sich freien lassen, sondern sie sind wie die Engel im Himmel. 26 Was aber die Toten anbelangt, daß sie auferstehen, habt ihr nicht gelesen im Buche Moses, bei [der Geschichte von] dem Busch, wie Gott zu ihm sprach: „Ich bin der Gott Abrahams und der Gott Isaaks und der Gott Jakobs“? 27 Er ist aber nicht ein Gott der Toten, sondern der Lebendigen. Darum irret ihr sehr.
Das größte Gebot
28 Und es trat einer der Schriftgelehrten herzu, der ihrem Wortwechsel zugehört hatte, und da er sah, daß er ihnen gut geantwortet hatte, fragte er ihn: Welches ist das vornehmste Gebot unter allen?
29 Jesus aber antwortete ihm: Das vornehmste aller Gebote ist:“Höre Israel, der Herr, unser Gott, ist alleiniger Herr; 30 und du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, lieben mit deinem ganzen Herzen und mit deiner ganzen Seele und mit deinem ganzen Gemüte und mit aller deiner Kraft!“ Dies ist das vornehmste Gebot. 31 Und das andere ist ihm gleich: „Du sollst deinen Nächsten lieben wie dich selbst!“ Größer als diese ist kein anderes Gebot.
32 Und der Schriftgelehrte sprach zu ihm: Recht so, Meister! Es ist in Wahrheit so, wie du sagst, daß nur ein [Gott] ist und kein anderer außer ihm; 33 und ihn zu lieben von ganzem Herzen und mit ganzem Verständnis und von ganzer Seele und mit aller Kraft und den Nächsten zu lieben wie sich selbst, ist mehr als alle Brandopfer und Schlachtopfer.
34 Und da Jesus sah, daß er verständig geantwortet, sprach er zu ihm: Du bist nicht fern vom Reiche Gottes! Und es unterstand sich niemand mehr, ihn weiter zu fragen.
Jesu Gegenfrage: Wessen Sohn ist Christus
35 Und Jesus hob an und sprach, indem er im Tempel lehrte: Wie können die Schriftgelehrten sagen, daß Christus Davids Sohn sei? 36 David selbst sprach doch im heiligen Geiste:
„Der Herr hat gesagt zu meinem Herrn: Setze dich zu meiner Rechten, bis ich deine Feinde hinlege als Schemel deiner Füße!“
37 So nennt David selbst ihn Herr; woher ist er denn sein Sohn? Und die Menge des Volkes hörte ihn mit Lust.
38 Und er sprach in seiner Lehre: Hütet euch vor den Schriftgelehrten, die gern im Talar einhergehen und auf den Märkten sich grüßen lassen 39 und in den Versammlungen und bei den Mahlzeiten obenan sitzen wollen, 40 die der Witwen Häuser fressen und zum Schein lange beten; diese werden ein schwereres Gericht empfangen.
Das Scherflein der Witwe
41 Und Jesus setzte sich dem Gotteskasten gegenüber und schaute zu, wie das Volk Geld in den Gotteskasten legte. Und viele Reiche legten viel ein. 42 Und es kam eine arme Witwe, die legte zwei Scherflein[b] ein, das ist ein Heller[c]. 43 Und er rief seine Jünger zu sich und sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich, ich sage euch, diese arme Witwe hat mehr in den Gotteskasten gelegt als alle, die eingelegt haben. 44 Denn alle haben von ihrem Überfluß eingelegt; diese aber hat von ihrer Armut alles, was sie hatte, ihren ganzen Lebensunterhalt eingelegt.

God Sends His Son(A)
12 Jesus used stories to teach the people. He said, “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around the field and dug a hole for a winepress. Then he built a tower. He leased the land to some farmers and left for a trip.
2 “Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked. So the man sent a servant to the farmers to get his share of the grapes. 3 But the farmers grabbed the servant and beat him. They sent him away with nothing. 4 Then the man sent another servant to the farmers. They hit this servant on the head, showing no respect for him. 5 So the man sent another servant. The farmers killed this servant. The man sent many other servants to the farmers. The farmers beat some of them and killed the others.
6 “The man had only one person left to send to the farmers. It was his son. He loved his son, but he decided to send him. He said, ‘The farmers will respect my son.’
7 “But the farmers said to each other, ‘This is the owner’s son, and this vineyard will be his. If we kill him, it will be ours.’ 8 So they took the son, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
9 “So what will the man who owns the vineyard do? He will go and kill those farmers. Then he will lease the land to others. 10 Surely you have read this in the Scriptures:
‘The stone that the builders refused to accept
became the cornerstone.
11 The Lord did this,
and it is wonderful to us.’” (B)
12 When these Jewish leaders heard this story, they knew it was about them. They wanted to find a way to arrest Jesus, but they were afraid of what the crowd would do. So they left him and went away.
The Jewish Leaders Try to Trick Jesus(C)
13 Later, the Jewish leaders sent some Pharisees and some men from the group called Herodians to Jesus. They wanted to catch him saying something wrong. 14 They went to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man. You are not afraid of what others think about you. All people are the same to you. And you teach the truth about God’s way. Tell us, is it right to pay taxes to Caesar? Should we pay them or not?”
15 But Jesus knew that these men were really trying to trick him. He said, “Why are you trying to catch me saying something wrong? Bring me a silver coin. Let me see it.” 16 They gave Jesus a coin and he asked, “Whose picture is on the coin? And whose name is written on it?” They answered, “It is Caesar’s picture and Caesar’s name.”
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” The men were amazed at what Jesus said.
Some Sadducees Try to Trick Jesus(D)
18 Then some Sadducees came to Jesus. (Sadducees believe that no one will rise from death.) They asked him a question: 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and had no children, his brother must marry the woman. Then they will have children for the dead brother.[a] 20 There were seven brothers. The first brother married but died. He had no children. 21 So the second brother married the woman. But he also died and had no children. The same thing happened with the third brother. 22 All seven brothers married the woman and died. None of the brothers had any children with her. And she was the last to die. 23 But all seven brothers had married her. So at the time when people rise from death, whose wife will she be?”
24 Jesus answered, “How could you be so wrong? It’s because you don’t know what the Scriptures say. And you don’t know anything about God’s power. 25 When people rise from death, there will be no marriage. People will not be married to each other. All people will be like angels in heaven. 26 Surely you have read what God said about people rising from death. In the book where Moses wrote about the burning bush,[b] it says that God told Moses this: ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[c] 27 So they were not still dead, because he is the God only of living people. You Sadducees are so wrong!”
Which Command Is the Most Important?(E)
28 One of the teachers of the law came to Jesus. He heard Jesus arguing with the Sadducees and the Pharisees. He saw that Jesus gave good answers to their questions. So he asked him, “Which of the commands is the most important?”
29 Jesus answered, “The most important command is this: ‘People of Israel, listen! The Lord our God is the only Lord. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’[d] 31 The second most important command is this: ‘Love your neighbor[e] the same as you love yourself.’[f] These two commands are the most important.”
32 The man answered, “That was a good answer, Teacher. You are right in saying that God is the only Lord and that there is no other God. 33 And you must love God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength. And you must love others the same as you love yourself. These commands are more important than all the animals and sacrifices we offer to God.”
34 Jesus saw that the man answered him wisely. So he said to him, “You are close to God’s kingdom.” And after that time, no one was brave enough to ask Jesus any more questions.
Is the Messiah David’s Son or David’s Lord?(F)
35 Jesus was teaching in the Temple area. He asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 36 With the help of the Holy Spirit, David himself says,
‘The Lord God said to my Lord:
Sit by me at my right side,
and I will put your enemies under your control.[g]’ (G)
37 David himself calls the Messiah ‘Lord.’ So how can the Messiah be David’s son?” Many people listened to Jesus and were very pleased.
Jesus Criticizes the Teachers of the Law(H)
38 Jesus continued teaching. He said, “Be careful of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around wearing clothes that look important. And they love for people to show respect to them in the marketplaces. 39 They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40 But they cheat widows and take their homes. Then they try to make themselves look good by saying long prayers. God will punish them very much.”
True Giving(I)
41 Jesus sat near the Temple collection box[h] and watched as people put money into it. Many rich people put in a lot of money. 42 Then a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth less than a penny.
43 Jesus called his followers to him and said, “This poor widow put in only two small coins. But the truth is, she gave more than all those rich people. 44 They have plenty, and they gave only what they did not need. This woman is very poor, but she gave all she had. It was money she needed to live on.”

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. 2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. 5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,(C) saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “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:
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)
