Luke 20

And it came to pass that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,

Et factum est in una dierum, docente illo populum in templo, et evangelizante, convenerunt principes sacerdotum, et scribæ cum senioribus,

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν διδάσκοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ εὐαγγελιζομένου ἐπέστησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς σὺν τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις,

And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? Or, who is he that hath given thee this authority?

et aiunt dicentes ad illum : Dic nobis in qua potestate hæc facis? aut quis est qui dedit tibi hanc potestatem?

καὶ εἶπαν λέγοντες πρὸς αὐτόν: εἰπὸν ἡμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, ἢ τίς ἐστιν ὁ δούς σοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην.

And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:

Respondens autem Jesus, dixit ad illos : Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum. Respondete mihi:

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς: ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ λόγον, καὶ εἴπατέ μοι:

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

baptismus Joannis de cælo erat, an ex hominibus?

τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἦν ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων;

But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe in him?

At illi cogitabant intra se, dicentes : Quia si dixerimus : De cælo, dicet : Quare ergo non credidistis illi?

οἱ δὲ συνελογίσαντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπωμεν: ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ: διὰ τί οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ;

But if we say, of men: the whole people will stone us. For they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

Si autem dixerimus : Ex hominibus, plebs universa lapidabit nos : certi sunt enim Joannem prophetam esse.

ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν: ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ὁ λαὸς ἅπας καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς: πεπεισμένος γάρ ἐστιν Ἰωάννην προφήτην εἶναι.

And they answered that they knew not whence it was.

Et responderunt se nescire unde esset.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν μὴ εἰδέναι πόθεν.

And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Et Jesus ait illis : Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.

καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς: οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.

And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.

Cœpit autem dicere ad plebem parabolam hanc : Homo plantavit vineam, et locavit eam colonis : et ipse peregre fuit multis temporibus.

Ἤρξατο δὲ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγειν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην. ἄνθρωπός ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ ἐξέδετο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν χρόνους ἱκανούς.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.

Et in tempore misit ad cultores servum, ut de fructu vineæ darent illi. Qui cæsum dimiserunt eum inanem.

καὶ καιρῷ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον, ἵνα ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος δώσουσιν αὐτῷ: οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὸν δείραντες κενόν.

And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also and, treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.

Et addidit alterum servum mittere. Illi autem hunc quoque cædentes, et afficientes contumelia, dimiserunt inanem.

καὶ προσέθετο ἕτερον πέμψαι δοῦλον: οἱ δὲ κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.

And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also and cast him out.

Et addidit tertium mittere : qui et illum vulnerantes ejecerunt.

καὶ προσέθετο τρίτον πέμψαι: οἱ δὲ καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον.

Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.

Dixit autem dominus vineæ : Quid faciam? Mittam filium meum dilectum : forsitan, cum hunc viderint, verebuntur.

εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος: τί ποιήσω; πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν ἀγαπητόν: ἴσως τοῦτον ἐντραπήσονται.

Whom, when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

Quem cum vidissent coloni, cogitaverunt intra se, dicentes : Hic est hæres, occidamus illum, ut nostra fiat hæreditas.

ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ γεωργοὶ διελογίζοντο πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες: οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος: ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν, ἵνα ἡμῶν γένηται ἡ κληρονομία.

So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

Et ejectum illum extra vineam, occiderunt. Quid ergo faciet illis dominus vineæ?

καὶ ἐκβαλόντες αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος ἀπέκτειναν. τί οὖν ποιήσει αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος;

He will come and will destroy these husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.

veniet, et perdet colonos istos, et dabit vineam aliis. Quo audito, dixerunt illi : Absit.

ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει τοὺς γεωργοὺς τούτους, καὶ δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις. ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἶπαν: μὴ γένοιτο.

But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Ille autem aspiciens eos, ait : Quid est ergo hoc quod scriptum est : Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli?

ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς εἶπεν: τί οὖν ἐστιν τὸ γεγραμμένον τοῦτο: λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας;

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Omnis qui ceciderit super illum lapidem, conquassabitur : super quem autem ceciderit, comminuet illum.

πᾶς ὁ πεσὼν ἐπ' ἐκεῖνον τὸν λίθον συνθλασθήσεται: ἐφ' ὃν δ' ἂν πέσῃ, λικμήσει αὐτόν.

And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.

Et quærebant principes sacerdotum et scribæ mittere in illum manus illa hora, et timuerunt populum : cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem hanc.

καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ' αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν: ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπεν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην.

And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.

Et observantes miserunt insidiatores, qui se justos simularent, ut caperent eum in sermone, ut traderent illum principatui, et potestati præsidis.

Καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου, ὥστε παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος.

And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.

Et interrogaverunt eum, dicentes : Magister, scimus quia recte dicis et doces : et non accipis personam, sed viam Dei in veritate doces.

καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες: διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις καὶ διδάσκεις καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον, ἀλλ' ἐπ' ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θεοῦ διδάσκεις:

Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?

Licet nobis tributum dare Cæsari, an non?

ἔξεστιν ἡμᾶς Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ;

But he, considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?

Considerans autem dolum illorum, dixit ad eos : Quid me tentatis?

κατανοήσας δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πανουργίαν εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς:

Show me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him: Caesar’s.

ostendite mihi denarium. Cujus habet imaginem et inscriptionem? Respondentes dixerunt ei : Cæsaris.

δείξατέ μοι δηνάριον. τίνος ἔχει εἰκόνα καὶ ἐπιγραφήν; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν: Καίσαρος.

And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things, that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.

Et ait illis : Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari : et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς: τοίνυν ἀπόδοτε τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τῷ θεῷ.

And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.

Et non potuerunt verbum ejus reprehendere coram plebe : et mirati in responso ejus, tacuerunt.

καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι τοῦ ῥήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ ἐσίγησαν.

And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection: and they asked him,

Accesserunt autem quidam sadducæorum, qui negant esse resurrectionem, et interrogaverunt eum,

Προσελθόντες δέ τινες τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, οἱ λέγοντες ἀνάστασιν μὴ εἶναι, ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν

Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother.

dicentes : Magister, Moyses scripsit nobis : Si frater alicujus mortuus fuerit habens uxorem, et hic sine liberis fuerit, ut accipiat eam frater ejus uxorem, et suscitet semen fratri suo.

λέγοντες: διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν, ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ᾖ, ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died without children.

Septem ergo fratres erant : et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est sine filiis.

ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν. καὶ ὁ πρῶτος λαβὼν γυναῖκα ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος:

And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless.

Et sequens accepit illam, et ipse mortuus est sine filio.

καὶ ὁ δεύτερος

And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and they left no children and died.

Et tertius accepit illam. Similiter et omnes septem, et non reliquerunt semen, et mortui sunt.

καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν, ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα καὶ ἀπέθανον.

Last of all the woman died also.

Novissime omnium mortua est et mulier.

ὕστερον καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν.

In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.

In resurrectione ergo, cujus eorum erit uxor? siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem.

ἡ γυνὴ οὖν ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν γίνεται γυνή; οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.

And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry and are given in marriage:

Et ait illis Jesus : Filii hujus sæculi nubunt, et traduntur ad nuptias:

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς: οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσιν καὶ γαμίσκονται,

But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead shall neither be married nor take wives.

illi vero qui digni habebuntur sæculo illo, et resurrectione ex mortuis, neque nubent, neque ducent uxores:

οἱ δὲ καταξιωθέντες τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται:

Neither can they die any more for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

neque enim ultra mori potuerunt : æquales enim angelis sunt, et filii sunt Dei, cum sint filii resurrectionis.

οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται, ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσιν, καὶ υἱοί εἰσιν θεοῦ τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες.

Now that the dead rise again, Moses also showed at the bush, when he called the Lord: The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

Quia vero resurgant mortui, et Moyses ostendit secus rubum, sicut dicit Dominum, Deum Abraham, et Deum Isaac, et Deum Jacob.

ὅτι δὲ ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροὶ, καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐμήνυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου, ὡς λέγει κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ θεὸν Ἰακώβ:

For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.

Deus autem non est mortuorum, sed vivorum : omnes enim vivunt ei.

θεὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔστιν νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων: πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν.

And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.

Respondentes autem quidam scribarum, dixerunt ei : Magister, bene dixisti.

ἀποκριθέντες δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπαν: διδάσκαλε, καλῶς εἶπας:

And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.

Et amplius non audebant eum quidquam interrogare.

οὐκέτι γὰρ ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν.

But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?

Dixit autem ad illos : Quomodo dicunt Christum filium esse David?

Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς: πῶς λέγουσιν τὸν Χριστὸν εἶναι Δαυὶδ υἱόν,

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

et ipse David dicit in libro Psalmorum : Dixit Dominus Domino meo : sede a dextris meis,

αὐτὸς γὰρ Δαυὶδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν: εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου: κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου

Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.

ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου;

David then calleth him Lord. And how is he his son?

David ergo Dominum illum vocat : et quomodo filius ejus est?

Δαυὶδ οὖν αὐτὸν κύριον καλεῖ, καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ἐστιν;

And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:

Audiente autem omni populo, dixit discipulis suis:

Ἀκούοντος δὲ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς:

Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes and love salutations in the market place and the first chairs in the synagogues and the chief rooms at feasts:

Attendite a scribis, qui volunt ambulare in stolis, et amant salutationes in foro, et primas cathedras in synagogis, et primos discubitus in conviviis,

προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς καὶ φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις,

Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.

qui devorant domos viduarum, simulantes longam orationem : hi accipient damnationem majorem.

οἳ κατεσθίουσιν τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσεύχονται: οὗτοι λήμψονται περισσότερον κρίμα.
