Lc 20:1Et factum est in ūnā diērum, docente illō populum in templō, et ēvangelizante, convēnērunt prīncipēs sacerdōtum, et scrībae cum seniōribus, et aiunt dīcentēs ad illum: Dīc nōbīs in quā potestāte haec facis?And it was done on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming the good news, the chiefs of the priests and the scribes with the elders came together, and they speak, saying to him: "Tell us by what authority you do these things? Lc 20:2Aut quis est quī dedit tibi hanc potestātem?Or who is it who gave you this authority?" Lc 20:3Respondēns autem Jēsūs, dīxit ad illōs: Interrogābō vōs et ego ūnum verbum.And Jesus, answering, said to them: "I too will ask you one word. Lc 20:3Respondēte mihi: baptismus Jōannis dē caelō erat, an ex hominibus?Answer me: was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?" Lc 20:5At illī cōgitābant intrā sē, dīcentēs: Quia sī dīxerimus: Dē caelō, dīcet: Quārē ergō nōn crēdidistis illī?But they were thinking within themselves, saying: "If we say: 'From heaven', he will say: 'Why then did you not believe him?' Lc 20:6Sī autem dīxerimus: Ex hominibus, plēbs ūniversa lapidābit nōs: certī sunt enim Jōannem prophētam esse.But if we say: 'From men', the whole people will stone us: for they are certain that John was a prophet."
Lc 20:7Et respondērunt sē nescīre unde esset.And they answered that they did not know where it was from. Lc 20:8Et Jēsūs ait illīs: Neque ego dīcō vōbīs in quā potestāte haec faciō.And Jesus said to them: "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things." Lc 20:9Coepit autem dīcere ad plēbem parabolam hanc: Homō plantāvit vīneam, et locāvit eam colōnīs: et ipse peregrē fuit multīs temporibus.And he began to speak to the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and leased it out to tenant farmers: and he himself was abroad for a long time. Lc 20:10Et in tempore mīsit ad cultōrēs servum, ut dē frūctū vīneae darent illī.And in due time he sent a servant to the cultivators, so that they might give him from the fruit of the vineyard. Lc 20:10Quī caesum dīmīsērunt eum inānem.They, having beaten him, sent him away empty. Lc 20:11Et addidit alterum servum mittere.And he went on to send another servant. Lc 20:11Illī autem hunc quoque caedentēs, et afficientēs contumēliā, dīmīsērunt inānem.But they, beating this one too, and treating him with insult, sent him away empty.
Lc 20:12Et addidit tertium mittere: quī et illum vulnerantēs ējēcērunt.And he went on to send a third: and they, wounding him too, threw him out. Lc 20:13Dīxit autem dominus vīneae: Quid faciam?And the lord of the vineyard said: 'What shall I do? Lc 20:13Mittam fīlium meum dīlēctum: forsitan, cum hunc vīderint, verēbuntur.I will send my beloved son: perhaps, when they have seen him, they will respect him.' Lc 20:14Quem cum vīdissent colōnī, cōgitāvērunt intrā sē, dīcentēs: Hic est haerēs, occīdāmus illum, ut nostra fīat haerēditās.But when the tenants had seen him, they thought within themselves, saying: 'This is the heir, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.' Lc 20:15Et ējectum illum extrā vīneam, occīdērunt.And, having thrown him out of the vineyard, they killed him. Lc 20:15Quid ergō faciet illīs dominus vīneae?What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? Lc 20:16Veniet, et perdet colōnōs istōs, et dabit vīneam aliīs.He will come, and will destroy these tenants, and will give the vineyard to others." Lc 20:16Quō audītō, dīxērunt illī: Absit.Which having been heard, they said to him: "Far be it."
Lc 20:17Ille autem aspiciēns eōs, ait: Quid est ergō hoc quod scrīptum est: Lapidem quem reprobāvērunt aedificantēs, hic factus est in caput angulī?But he, looking at them, said: "What then is this which has been written: 'The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner'? Lc 20:18Omnis quī ceciderit super illum lapidem, conquassābitur: super quem autem ceciderit, comminuet illum.Everyone who falls upon that stone will be shattered: but upon whomever it falls, it will crush him." Lc 20:19Et quaerēbant prīncipēs sacerdōtum et scrībae mittere in illum manūs illā hōrā, et timuērunt populum: cognōvērunt enim quod ad ipsōs dīxerit similitūdinem hanc.And the chiefs of the priests and the scribes were seeking to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken this likeness against them. Lc 20:20Et observantēs mīsērunt īnsidiātōrēs, quī sē jūstōs simulārent, ut caperent eum in sermōne, ut trāderent illum prīncipātuī, et potestātī praesidis.And watching him, they sent spies, who were to pretend that they were just, so that they might catch him in speech, so that they might hand him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
Lc 20:21Et interrogāvērunt eum, dīcentēs: Magister, scīmus quia rēctē dīcis et docēs: et nōn accipis persōnam, sed viam Deī in vēritāte docēs.And they asked him, saying: "Master, we know that you speak and teach rightly: and you do not accept the person, but you teach the way of God in truth. Lc 20:22Licet nōbīs tribūtum dare Caesarī, an nōn?Is it allowed for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" Lc 20:23Cōnsīderāns autem dolum illōrum, dīxit ad eōs: Quid mē tentātis?But perceiving their trickery, he said to them: "Why do you test me? Lc 20:24Ostendite mihi dēnārium.Show me a denarius. Lc 20:24Cujus habet imāginem et īnscrīptiōnem?Whose image and inscription does it have?" Lc 20:24Respondentēs dīxērunt eī: Caesaris.Answering, they said to him: "Caesar's." Lc 20:25Et ait illīs: Reddite ergō quae sunt Caesaris, Caesarī: et quae sunt Deī, Deō.And he said to them: "Give back, then, the things which are Caesar's to Caesar: and the things which are God's to God." Lc 20:26Et nōn potuērunt verbum ejus reprehendere cōram plēbe: et mīrātī in respōnsō ejus, tacuērunt.And they could not find fault with his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they were silent.
Lc 20:27Accessērunt autem quīdam sadducaeōrum, quī negant esse resurrēctiōnem, et interrogāvērunt eum, dīcentēs: Magister, Mōysēs scrīpsit nōbīs: Sī frāter alicujus mortuus fuerit habēns uxōrem, et hic sine līberīs fuerit, ut accipiat eam frāter ejus uxōrem, et suscitet sēmen frātrī suō.And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came up, and asked him, saying: "Master, Moses wrote for us: If someone's brother has died having a wife, and he has been without children, his brother should take her as wife, and raise up seed for his brother. Lc 20:29Septem ergō frātrēs erant: et prīmus accēpit uxōrem, et mortuus est sine fīliīs.There were, therefore, seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without sons. Lc 20:30Et sequēns accēpit illam, et ipse mortuus est sine fīliō.And the next took her, and he himself also died without a son. Lc 20:31Et tertius accēpit illam.And the third took her. Lc 20:31Similiter et omnēs septem, et nōn relīquērunt sēmen, et mortuī sunt.And likewise all seven too, and they did not leave seed, and they died. Lc 20:32Novissimē omnium mortua est et mulier.Last of all the woman too died. Lc 20:33In resurrēctiōne ergō, cujus eōrum erit uxor?In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of them will she be?
Lc 20:33Sīquidem septem habuērunt eam uxōrem.Since the seven had her as wife." Lc 20:34Et ait illīs Jēsūs: Fīliī hujus saeculī nūbunt, et trāduntur ad nūptiās: illī vērō quī dignī habēbuntur saeculō illō, et resurrēctiōne ex mortuīs, neque nūbent, neque dūcent uxōrēs: neque enim ultrā morī potuērunt: aequālēs enim angelīs sunt, et fīliī sunt Deī, cum sint fīliī resurrēctiōnis.And Jesus said to them: "The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage: but those who will be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither marry, nor take wives: for neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and they are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection. Lc 20:37Quia vērō resurgant mortuī, et Mōysēs ostendit secus rubum, sīcut dīcit Dominum, Deum Abraham, et Deum Isaac, et Deum Jacob.But that the dead rise again, Moses too showed at the bush, as he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Lc 20:38Deus autem nōn est mortuōrum, sed vīvōrum: omnēs enim vīvunt eī.But God is not of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him."
Lc 20:39Respondentēs autem quīdam scrībārum, dīxērunt eī: Magister, bene dīxistī.And some of the scribes, answering, said to him: "Master, you have spoken well." Lc 20:40Et amplius nōn audēbant eum quidquam interrogāre.And they no longer dared to ask him anything. Lc 20:41Dīxit autem ad illōs: Quōmodo dīcunt Chrīstum fīlium esse David?But he said to them: "How do they say that the Christ is the son of David? Lc 20:42Et ipse David dīcit in librō Psalmōrum: Dīxit Dominus Dominō meō: sedē ā dextrīs meīs, dōnec pōnam inimīcōs tuōs scabellum pedum tuōrum.And David himself says in the book of Psalms: 'The Lord said to my Lord: sit at my right, until I place your enemies as the footstool of your feet.' Lc 20:44David ergō Dominum illum vocat: et quōmodo fīlius ejus est?David therefore calls him Lord: and how is he his son?" Lc 20:45Audiente autem omnī populō, dīxit discipulīs suīs: Attendite ā scrībīs, quī volunt ambulāre in stolīs, et amant salūtātiōnēs in forō, et prīmās cathedrās in synagōgīs, et prīmōs discubitūs in convīviīs, quī dēvorant domōs viduārum, simulantēs longam ōrātiōnem: hī accipient damnātiōnem mājōrem.And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples: "Beware of the scribes, who wish to walk about in robes, and love greetings in the market-place, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at banquets, who devour the houses of widows, pretending long prayer: these will receive greater condemnation."
