1 And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.2 And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.3 And they took him, and gave him blows, and sent him away with nothing.4 And again he sent to them another servant; and they gave him wounds on the head, and were very cruel to him.5 And he sent another; and they put him to death: and a number of others, whipping some, and putting some to death.6 He still had one, a dearly loved son: he sent him last to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.7 But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.8 And they took him and put him to death, pushing his body out of the garden.9 What then will the master of the garden do? He will come and put the workmen to death, and will give the garden into the hands of others.10 Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?12 And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.13 Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick.14 And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?15 Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.16 And they gave him one. And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it? And they said to him, Caesar's.17 And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.18 And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,19 Master, in the law Moses says, If a man's brother comes to his end, and has a wife still living and no child, it is right for his brother to take his wife, and get a family for his brother.20 There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and at his death there were no offspring;21 And the second took her, and at his death there were no offspring; and the third the same:22 And all the seven had no seed. Last of all the woman herself came to her death.23 In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.24 Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?25 When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.26 But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, 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 of the living: you are greatly in error.28 And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?29 Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;30 And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.31 The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.32 And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:33 And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.34 And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.35 And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?36 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.37 David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.38 And in his teaching he said, Be on your watch against the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes and be respected in the market-places,39 And to have the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;40 Who take away the property of widows, and before the eyes of men make long prayers; these will be judged more hardly.41 And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.42 And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.43 And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:44 Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.

1 Et cpit illis in parabolis loqui : Vineam pastinavit homo, et circumdedit sepem, et fodit lacum, et dificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est. 2 Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vine. 3 Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum. 4 Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum : et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt. 5 Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt : et plures alios : quosdam cdentes, alios vero occidentes. 6 Adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum, et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens : Quia reverebuntur filium meum. 7 Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem : Hic est hres : venite, occidamus eum : et nostra erit hreditas. 8 Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt : et ejecerunt extra vineam. 9 Quid ergo faciet dominus vine ? Veniet, et perdet colonos, et dabit vineam aliis. 10 Nec scripturam hanc legistis : Lapidem quem reprobaverunt dificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli : 11 a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris ? 12 Et qurebant eum tenere : et timuerunt turbam : cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit. Et relicto eo abierunt.13 Et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex pharisis, et herodianis, ut eum caperent in verbo. 14 Qui venientes dicunt ei : Magister, scimus quia verax es, et non curas quemquam : nec enim vides in faciem hominum, sed in veritate viam Dei doces. Licet dari tributum Csari, an non dabimus ? 15 Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illos : Quid me tentatis ? afferte mihi denarium ut videam. 16 At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis : Cujus est imago hc, et inscriptio ? Dicunt ei : Csaris. 17 Respondens autem Jesus dixit illis : Reddite igitur qu sunt Csaris, Csari : et qu sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo.18 Et venerunt ad eum sadduci, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse : et interrogabant eum, dicentes : 19 Magister, Moyses nobis scripsit, ut si cujus frater mortuus fuerit, et dimiserit uxorem, et filios non reliquerit, accipiat frater ejus uxorem ipsius, et resuscitet semen fratri suo. 20 Septem ergo fratres erant : et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine. 21 Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est : et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter. 22 Et acceperunt eam similiter septem : et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier. 23 In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cujus de his erit uxor ? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem. 24 Et respondens Jesus, ait illis : Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei ? 25 Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed sunt sicut angeli in clis. 26 De mortuis autem quod resurgant, non legistis in libro Moysi, super rubum, quomodo dixerit illi Deus, inquiens : Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob ? 27 Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis.28 Et accessit unus de scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum. 29 Jesus autem respondit ei : Quia primum omnium mandatum est : Audi Isral, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est : 30 et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex tota corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota mente tua, et ex tota virtute tua. Hoc est primum mandatum. 31 Secundum autem simile est illi : Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Majus horum aliud mandatum non est. 32 Et ait illi scriba : Bene, Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius prter eum. 33 Et ut diligatur ex toto corde, et ex toto intellectu, et ex tota anima, et ex tota fortitudine, et diligere proximum tamquam seipsum, majus est omnibus holocautomatibus, et sacrificiis. 34 Jesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi : Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo jam audebat eum interrogare.35 Et respondens Jesus dicebat, docens in templo : Quomodo dicunt scrib Christum filium esse David ? 36 Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto : Dixit Dominus Domino meo : Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum. 37 Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius ejus ? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit. 38 Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua : Cavete a scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro, 39 et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in cnis : 40 qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolix orationis : hi accipient prolixius judicium.41 Et sedens Jesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba jactaret s in gazophylacium, et multi divites jactabant multa. 42 Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans, 43 et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis : Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua hc pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium. 44 Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt : hc vero de penuria sua omnia qu habuit misit totum victum suum.
