1 And he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set up a hedge, and dug a winevat, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.
2 And at the season he sent forth a bondman to the farmers, so that he might receive by the farmers from the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And having seized him, they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent another bondman to them. And that man, having stoned, they wounded in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 And again he sent another, and that man they killed, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Therefore, still having his one beloved son, he also sent him to them, last, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son.
7 But those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 And having taken him, they killed him, and cast him outside of the vineyard.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 And have ye not read this scripture: The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner.
11 This happened from Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
12 And they sought to seize him. And they feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And having left him, they went away.
13 And they send some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, so that they might catch him in talk.
14 And when they came, they say to him, Teacher, we have seen that thou are true, and it is not a care to thee about any man, for thou look not to a personage of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to give tribute
15 Should we give, or should we not give? But Jesus, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do ye test me? Bring me a denarius, so that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 And having answered, Jesus said to them, Render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they marveled at him.
18 And Sadducees come to him, who say there is no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,
19 Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother dies, and leaves behind a wife, and leaves no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.
20 There were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither did he leave seed behind, and the third likewise.
22 And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as wife.
24 And having answered, Jesus said to them, Are ye not led astray because of this: not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents in the heavens.
26 But about the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, 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 God of the living. Ye therefore are much misled.
28 And one of the scholars having come, having heard them disputing, knowing that he had answered them well, he questioned him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, thou Israel, Lord our God is one Lord,
30 and thou shall love Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
31 And this second is similar, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scholar said to him, Well, teacher. Thou spoke in truth that he is one, and there is no other but he.
33 And to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw him, that he answered wisely, he said to him, Thou are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared to question him any more.
35 And having responded as he taught in the temple, Jesus said, How do the scholars say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by Holy Spirit, The Lord says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I may place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
37 David himself therefore calls him Lord, and in what way is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.
38 And in his teaching he said to them, Look away from the scholars, those who desire to go about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
39 and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
40 those who devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. These will receive greater condemnation.
41 And having sat down opposite the treasury, Jesus watched how the multitude cast money into the treasury, and many rich men cast in much.
42 And one poor widow having come, she cast in two mites, which are a quadrans.
43 And having summoned his disciples, he says to them, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury.
44 For they all cast in from that which is abundant to them, but she from her need cast in all, as many things she had, her whole living.
1 And he beganne to speake vnto them in similitudes. A certayne man planted a vineyarde and copased it with an hedge and ordeyned a wyne presse and bylt a toure in yt. And let yt out to hyre vnto husbandme and went into a straunge countre.
2 And when the tyme was come he sent to the tennauntes a servaunt that he myght receave of the tenauntes of the frute of the vyneyarde.
3 And they caught him and bet him and sent him agayne emptye.
4 And moreoever he sent vnto them another servaunt and at him they cast stones and brake his heed and sent him agayne all to revyled.
5 And agayne he sent another and him they kylled: and many other beetynge some and kyllinge some.
6 Yet had he one sonne whom he loved tenderly him also he sent at the last vnto them sayinge: they wyll feare my sonne.
7 But the tenauntes sayde amongest them selves: this is the heyre: come let vs kyll hym and ye inheritauce shalbe oures.
8 And they toke him and kyllid him and cast him out of the vyneyarde.
9 What shall then the lorde of the vyneyarde do? He will come and destroye ye tenauntes and let out the vyneyarde to other.
10 Have ye not redde this scripture? The stoone which ye bylders dyd refuse is made ye chefe stoone in ye corner:
11 this was done of ye Lorde and is mervelous in oure eyes.
12 And they went about to take him but they feared the people. For they perceaved that he spake that similitude agaynst them. And they left him and went their waye.
13 And they sent vnto him certayne of ye Pharises with Herodes servantes to take him in his wordes.
14 And assone as they were come they sayd vnto him: master we knowe yt thou arte true and carest for no man: for thou consyderest not the degre of men but teachest the waye of God truly: Ys it laufull to paye tribute to Cesar or not?
15 Ought we to geve or ought we not to geve? He vnderstode their simulacion and sayde vnto them: Why tepte ye me? Brynge me a peny that I maye se yt.
16 And they brought. And he sayde vnto them: Whose ys thys ymage and superscripcion? And they sayde vnto him Cesars.
17 And Iesus answered and saide vnto the: Then geve to Cesar that which belongeth to Cesar: and to God that which perteyneth to God. And they mervelled at him.
18 Then came the Saduces vnto him which saye ther is no resurreccion. And they axed hym sayinge:
19 Master Moses wroote vnto vs yf eny mans brother dye and leve his wyfe behinde him and leve no chyldren: that then hys brother shuld take his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.
20 Ther were seven brethren: and the fyrst toke a wyfe and when he dyed leeft no seed behynde him.
21 And the seconde toke hir and dyed: nether leeft eny seed. And the thyrde lyke wyse.
22 And seve had her and leeft no seed behynde them. Last of all the wyfe dyed also.
23 In the resurreccio then when they shall ryse agayne: whose wyfe shall she be of them? For seven had her to wyfe.
24 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Are ye not therfore deceaved and vnderstonde not the scryptures nether the power of God?
25 For when they shall ryse agayne fro deeth they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels which are in heven.
26 As touchynge the deed that they shall ryse agayne: have ye not redde in the boke of Moses howe in the busshe God spake vnto him sayinge: I am the God of Abraham and God of Ysaac and the God of Iacob?
27 He is not the God of the deed but the God of the livynge. Ye are therfore greatly deceaved.
28 And ther came one of the scribes that had hearde them disputynge to gedder and perceaved that he had answered them well and axed him: Which is the fyrste of all the commaundemetes?
29 Iesus answered him: the fyrste of all the comaundementes is. Heare Israel: The Lorde God is one Lorde.
30 And thou shalt love the Lorde thy God with all thy hert and with all thy soule and with all thy mynde and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundement.
31 And the seconde is lyke vnto this: Thou shalt love thy neghbour as thy silfe. Ther is none other commaundement greater then these.
32 And the Scribe sayde vnto him: well master thou hast sayd ye truthe that ther ys one God and that ther is none but he.
33 And to love him with all the herte and with all the mynde and with all the soule and with all the stregth: and to love a mans neghbour as him silfe ys a greater thinge then all burntofferings and sacrifices.
34 And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly he sayde vnto him: Thou arte not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that durst axe him eny questio.
35 And Iesus answered and sayde teachynge in the temple: how saye the Scribes yt Christ is the sonne of David?
36 for David him selfe inspyred with the holy goost sayde: The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.
37 Then David hym silfe calleth him Lorde: and by what meanes is he then his sonne? And moche people hearde him gladly.
38 And he sayde vnto them in his doctrine: beware of the Scribes which love to goo in longe clothinge: and love salutacions in ye market places
39 and the chefe seates in the synagoges and to syt in the vppermost roumes at feastes
40 and devoure widowes houses and that vnder coloure of longe prayinge. These shall receave greater dampnacion.
41 And Iesus sat over agaynst the treasury and behelde how the people put money in to the treasury. And many that were ryche cast in moch.
42 And ther cam a certayne povre widowe and she threwe in two mytes which make a farthynge.
43 And he called vnto him his disciples and sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you that this pover widowe hath cast moare in then all they which have caste into the treasury.
44 For they all dyd cast in of their superfluyte: but she of her poverte dyd cast in all that she had eve all her livynge.
