Luke 20

English Standard Version



1 One day, as Jesus[1] was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up (Mt 21:23; Mr 11:27; Lu 19:47; Ac 4:1; Ac 6:12) 2 and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.” (Ex 2:14; Joh 1:25; Ac 4:7) 3 He answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me, 4 was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?” (Lu 15:18; Lu 15:21; Joh 3:27) 5 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ (Mt 21:32; Lu 7:30) 6 But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.” (Mt 11:9; Joh 5:35) 7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from. 8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” 



9 And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while. (Ps 80:8; So 8:11; Isa 5:1; Mt 21:28; Mt 21:33; Mt 25:14; Mr 12:1; Mr 13:34) 10 When the time came, he sent a servant[2] to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. (2Ch 24:19; 2Ch 36:15; Ne 9:26; Jer 37:15; Jer 38:6; Mt 5:12; Mt 22:6; Mt 23:34; Mt 23:37; Lu 20:9; Ac 7:52; 2Co 11:24; 1Th 2:15; Heb 11:36) 11 And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. (Mt 22:4; Lu 20:10; Ac 5:41) 12 And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out. (Lu 20:10) 13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ (Mt 3:17) 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ (1Ki 21:19; Joh 1:11; Ro 8:17; Heb 1:2) 15 And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? (Heb 13:12) 16 He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” (Mt 8:11; Mt 21:43; Mt 24:50; Mt 25:19; Lu 19:27; Ac 13:46; Ac 18:6; Ac 28:28) 17 But he looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?[3] (Ps 118:22; Mr 10:21; Ac 4:11; 1Pe 2:7) 18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.” (Isa 8:14; Da 2:34; Da 2:44; Ro 9:32; 1Pe 2:8) 



19 The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. (Lu 19:47) 20 So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor. (1Ki 14:6; Mt 22:15; Mt 27:2; Mt 27:11; Mt 28:14; Mr 3:2; Mr 12:13; Lu 11:54; Lu 14:1; Lu 20:26; Ac 23:24) 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality,[4] but truly teach the way of God. (Ac 10:34; Ac 13:10; Ac 18:25) 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?” (Mt 17:25; Lu 2:1; Lu 3:1) 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, (1Co 3:19; 2Co 4:2; 2Co 11:3; 2Co 12:16; Eph 4:14) 24 “Show me a denarius.[5] Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s.” (Mt 18:28) 25 He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Ro 13:7) 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent. (Lu 20:20) 



27 There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, (Mt 3:7; Mt 16:1; Mt 22:34; Ac 4:1; Ac 4:2; Ac 5:17; Ac 23:6; Ac 23:8) 28 and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man[6] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. (De 25:5) 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.” 34 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, (Mt 24:38; Lu 10:6; Lu 16:8; Lu 17:27; Lu 20:35) 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, (Mt 22:8; Mr 10:30; Lu 18:30; Lu 20:34; Ac 5:41; 2Th 1:5; 2Th 1:11) 36 for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons[7] of the resurrection. (Ge 1:26; Ps 82:6; Lu 10:6; Ro 8:19; Ro 8:23; 1Co 15:52; 1Co 15:54; Heb 2:7; Heb 2:9; Re 21:4) 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. (Ex 3:1; Ex 3:6; Ex 3:15; Lu 20:28; Ac 7:32) 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” (Ro 6:11; Ro 14:7; 2Co 5:15; Ga 2:19; 1Th 5:10; Heb 9:14; 1Pe 4:2) 39 Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” (Mt 22:34; Mr 12:28) 40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question. (Mt 22:46; Mr 12:34) 



41 But he said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is David’s son? (Mt 1:1; Mt 1:17; Mt 22:41; Mr 12:35) 42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, (Ps 110:1; Ac 2:34; 1Co 15:25; Heb 1:13; Heb 10:13) 43 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’ (Ac 7:49) 44 David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?” (Ro 1:3) 



45 And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, (Mt 23:1; Mt 23:5; Mr 12:38; Lu 11:43) 46 “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, (Lu 14:7) 47 who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” (Mt 6:5; Mt 6:7; Lu 11:39; Lu 16:14)

الكتاب المقدس



1 وَفِيمَا كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ الشَّعْبَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، وَيُبَشِّرُ، تَصَدَّى لَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ مَعَ الشُّيُوخِ، 2 وَخَاطَبُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «قُلْ لَنَا بِأَيَّةِ سُلْطَةٍ تَفْعَلُ مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ أَوْ مَنْ مَنَحَكَ هذِهِ السُّلْطَةَ؟» 3 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «وَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَسْأَلُكُمْ أَمْراً وَاحِداً، فَأَجِيبُونِي عَنْهُ: 4 أَمِنَ السَّمَاءِ كَانَتْ مَعْمُودِيَّةُ يُوحَنَّا أَمْ مِنَ النَّاسِ؟» 5 فَتَشَاوَرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ قُلْنَا: مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، يَقُولُ: وَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ؟ 6 وَإِنْ قُلْنَا: مِنَ النَّاسِ، يَرْجُمُنَا الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ، لأَنَّهُمْ مُقْتَنِعُونَ أَنَّ يُوحَنَّا كَانَ نَبِيًّا». 7 فَأَجَابُوا أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هِيَ. 8 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «وَأَنَا لَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ بِأَيَّةِ سُلْطَةٍ أَفْعَلُ مَا فَعَلْتُ!» 



9 وَأَخَذَ يُكَلِّمُ الشَّعْبَ بِهَذَا الْمَثَلِ: «غَرَسَ إِنْسَانٌ كَرْماً وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى مُزَارِعِينَ، وَسَافَرَ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً. 10 وَفِي مَوْسِمِ الْحَصَادِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْمُزَارِعِينَ عَبْداً، لِكَيْ يُعْطُوهُ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْكَرْمِ. وَلكِنَّ الْمُزَارِعِينَ ضَرَبُوهُ وَرَدُّوهُ فَارِغَ الْيَدَيْنِ. 11 فَعَادَ وَأَرْسَلَ عَبْداً آخَرَ. إِلّا أَنَّهُمْ ضَرَبُوهُ أَيْضاً وَأَهَانُوهُ وَرَدُّوهُ فَارِغَ الْيَدَيْنِ. 12 ثُمَّ عَادَ وَأَرْسَلَ عَبْداً ثَالِثاً، فَجَرَّحُوهُ وَطَرَحُوهُ خَارِجَ الْكَرْمِ. 13 فَقَالَ رَبُّ الْكَرْمِ: مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ؟ سَأُرْسِلُ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبَ، لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهَابُونَهُ! 14 وَلكِنْ مَا إِنْ رَآهُ الْمُزَارِعُونَ، حَتَّى تَشَاوَرُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: هَذَا هُوَ الْوَرِيثُ، فَلْنَقْتُلْهُ لِيَصِيرَ الْمِيرَاثُ لَنَا. 15 فَطَرَحُوهُ خَارِجَ الْكَرْمِ وَقَتَلُوهُ. فَمَاذَا إِذَنْ يَفْعَلُ رَبُّ الْكَرْمِ بِهِمْ؟ 16 إِنَّهُ يَأْتِي وَيُهْلِكُ أُولئِكَ الْمُزَارِعِينَ، وَيُسَلِّمُ الْكَرْمَ إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ». فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ذلِكَ، قَالُوا«حَاشَا!» 17 وَلكِنَّهُ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ: «إِذَنْ مَا مَعْنَى هذِهِ الآيَةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ: الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ الْبُنَاةُ، هُوَ نَفْسُهُ صَارَ حَجَرَ الزَّاوِيَةِ؟ 18 مَنْ يَقَعُ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَجَرِ يَتَكَسَّرُ، وَمَنْ يَقَعُ الْحَجَرُ عَلَيْهِ يَسْحَقُهُ سَحْقاً؟» 19 فَسَعَى رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ إِلَى إلْقَاءِ الْقَبْضِ عَلَيْهِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ عَيْنِهَا، وَلكِنَّهُمْ خَافُوا الشَّعْبَ، فَقَدْ أَدْرَكُوا أَنَّهُ عَنَاهُمْ بِهَذَا الْمَثَلِ. 



20 فَجَعَلُوا يُرَاقِبُونَهُ، وَبَثُّوا حَوْلَهُ جَوَاسِيسَ يَتَظَاهَرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ أَبْرَارٌ، لِكَيْ يُمْسِكُوهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ يَقُولُهَا، فَيُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى قَضَاءِ الْحَاكِمِ وَسُلْطَتِهِ. 21 فَقَالُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَتُعَلِّمُ بِالصِّدْقِ، فَلا تُرَاعِي مَقَامَاتِ النَّاسِ، بَلْ تُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ اللهِ بِالْحَقِّ: 22 أَفَيَحِلُّ لَنَا أَنْ نَدْفَعَ الْجِزْيَةَ لِلْقَيْصَرِ، أَمْ لا؟» 23 فَأَدْرَكَ مَكْرَهُمْ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: 24 «أَرُونِي دِينَاراً: لِمَنِ الصُّورَةُ وَالنَّقْشُ عَلَيْهِ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «لِلْقَيْصَرِ!» 25 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِذَنْ، أَعْطُوا مَا لِلْقَيْصَرِ لِلْقَيْصَرِ، وَمَا لِلهِ لِلهِ». 26 فَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الإِيقَاعِ بِهِ أَمَامَ الشَّعْبِ بِكَلِمَةٍ يَقُولُهَا، فَسَكَتُوا مَدْهُوشِينَ مِمَّا سَمِعُوا. 



27 وَتَصَدَّى لَهُ بَعْضُ الصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ يُنْكِرُونَ أَمْرَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: 28 «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، كَتَبَ لَنَا مُوسَى: إِنْ مَاتَ لأَحَدٍ أَخٌ مُتَزَوِّجٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ، فَعَلَى أَخِيهِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ بِأَرْمَلَتِهِ وَيُقِيمَ نَسْلاً عَلَى اسْمِ أَخِيهِ. 29 فَقَدْ كَانَ هُنَاكَ سَبْعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ، اتَّخَذَ أَوَّلُهُمْ زَوْجَةً ثُمَّ مَاتَ دُونَ وَلَدٍ، 30 فَتَزَوَّجَ الثَّانِي بِالأَرْمَلَةِ، 31 ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَهَا الثَّالِثُ، حَتَّى تَزَوَّجَ بِها السَّبْعَةُ وَمَاتُوا دُونَ أَنْ يُخَلِّفُوا وَلَداً. 32 وَمِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ جَمِيعاً مَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضاً. 33 فَفِي الْقِيَامَةِ لِمَنْ مِنْهُمْ تَكُونُ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَةً، فَقَدْ كَانَتْ زَوْجَةً لِكُلٍّ مِنَ السَّبْعَةِ». 34 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «أَبْنَاءُ الزَّمَانِ الْحَاضِرِ يُزَوِّجُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ. 35 أَمَّا الَّذِينَ حُسِبُوا أَهْلاً لِلْمُشَارَكَةِ فِي الزَّمَانِ الآتِي وَالْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، فَلا يُزَوِّجُونَ وَلا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ. 36 إِذْ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا أَيْضاً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ مِثْلَ الْمَلائِكَةِ، وَهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ اللهِ لِكَوْنِهِمْ أَبْنَاءَ الْقِيَامَةِ. 37 وَأَمَّا أَنَّ الْمَوْتَى يَقُومُونَ، فَحَتَّى مُوسَى أَشَارَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ الْعُلَّيْقَةِ، حَيْثُ يَدْعُو الرَّبَّ إِلهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهَ يَعْقُوبَ. 38 وَلكِنَّ اللهَ لَيْسَ إِلهَ أَمْوَاتٍ بَلْ هُوَ إِلهُ أَحْيَاءَ، فَإِنَّ الْجَمِيعَ يَحْيَوْنَ لَدَيْهِ!» 39 فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْكَتَبَةِ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَحْسَنْتَ الْكَلامَ!» 40 وَلَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ شَيْئاً. 



41 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كَيْفَ يُقَالُ إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ ابْنُ دَاوُدَ، 42 فِيمَا يَقُولُ دَاوُدُ نَفْسُهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْمَزَامِيرِ: قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: اجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي 43 حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْكَ؟ 44 إِذَنْ، دَاوُدُ يَدْعُوهُ رَبّاً، فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ابْنَهُ؟» 



45 وَفِيمَا كَانَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ يُصْغُونَ، قَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: 46 «احْذَرُوا مِنَ الْكَتَبَةِ الَّذِينَ يَرْغَبُونَ التَّجَوُّلَ بِالأَثْوَابِ الْفَضْفَاضَةِ، وَيُحِبُّونَ تَلَقِّي التَّحِيَّاتِ فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ، وَصُدُورَ الْمَجَالِسِ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ، وَأَمَاكِنَ الصَّدَارَةِ فِي الْوَلائِمِ؛ 47 يَلْتَهِمُونَ بُيُوتَ الأَرَامِلِ وَيَتَبَاهُونَ بِإِطَالَةِ الصَّلَوَاتِ. هؤُلاءِ سَتَنْزِلُ بِهِمْ دَيْنُونَةٌ أَقْسَى!»
