¹He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

¹Og han begyndte at tale til dem i Lignelser: "En Mand plantede en Vingård og satte et Gærde derom og gravede en Perse og byggede et Tårn, og han lejede den ud til Vingårdsmænd og drog udenlands.

² When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

²Og da Tiden kom, sendte han en Tjener til Vingårdsmændene, for at han af Vingårdsmændene kunde få af Vingårdens Frugter.

³ They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.

³Og de grebe ham og sloge ham og sendte ham tomhændet bort.

⁴ Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

⁴Og han sendte atter en anden Tjener til dem; og ham sloge de i Hovedet og vanærede.

⁵ Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.

⁵Og han sendte en anden; og ham sloge de ihjel; og mange andre; nogle sloge de, og andre dræbte de.

⁶ Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

⁶Endnu een havde han, en elsket Søn; ham sendte han til sidst til dem, idet han sagde: "De ville undse sig for min Søn."

⁷ But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

⁷Men hine Vingårdsmænd sagde til hverandre: "Der er Arvingen; kommer lader os slå ham ihjel, så bliver Arven vor."

⁸ They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

⁸Og de grebe ham og sloge ham ihjel og kastede ham ud af Vingården.

⁹ What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

⁹Hvad vil da Vingårdens Herre gøre? Han vil komme og ødelægge Vingårdsmændene og give Vingården til andre.

¹⁰ Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.

¹⁰Have I ikke også læst dette Skriftord: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten?

¹¹ This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes’?” Psalm 118:22-23

¹¹Fra Herren er dette kommet, og det er underligt for vore Øjne."

¹²They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

¹²Og de søgte at gribe ham, men de frygtede for Mængden; thi de forstode, at han sagde denne Lignelse imod dem; og de forlode ham og gik bort.

¹³They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

¹³Og de sendte nogle til ham af Farisæerne og af Herodianerne, for at de skulde fange ham i Ord.

¹⁴When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

¹⁴Og de kom og sagde til ham: "Mester! vi vide, at du er sanddru og ikke bryder dig om nogen; thi du ser ikke på Menneskers Person, men lærer Guds Vej i Sandhed. Er det tilladt at give Kejseren Skat eller ej? Skulle vi give eller ikke give?"

¹⁵Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”

¹⁵Men da han så deres Hykleri, sagde han til dem: "Hvorfor friste I mig? Bringer mig en Denar", for at jeg kan se den."

¹⁶They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

¹⁶Men de bragte den. Og han siger til dem: "Hvis Billede og Overskrift er dette?" Men de sagde til ham: "Kejserens."

¹⁷Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

¹⁷Og Jesus sagde til dem: "Giver Kejseren, hvad Kejserens er, og Gud, hvad Guds er." Og de undrede sig over ham.

¹⁸There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,

¹⁸Og der kommer Saddukæere til ham, hvilke jo sige, at der ingen Opstandelse er, og de spurgte ham og sagde:

¹⁹“Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’

¹⁹"Mester! Moses har foreskrevet os, at når nogens Broder dør og og efterlader, en Hustru og ikke efterlader noget Barn, da skal hans Broder tage hans Hustru og oprejse sin Broder Afkom.

²⁰There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

²⁰Der var syv Brødre; og den første tog en Hustru, og da han døde, efterlod han ikke Afkom.

²¹The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;

²¹Og den anden tog hende og døde uden at efterlade Afkom, og den tredje ligeså.

²²and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

²²Og alle syv, de efterlode ikke Afkom. Sidst af dem alle døde og så Hustruen.

²³In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”

²³I Opstandelsen, når de opstå, hvem af dem skal så have hende til Hustru? Thi de have alle syv haft hende til Hustru."

²⁴Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

²⁴Jesus sagde til dem: "Er det ikke derfor, I fare vild, fordi I ikke kende Skrifterne, ej heller Guds Kraft?

²⁵ For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

²⁵Thi når de opstå fra de døde, da tage de hverken til Ægte eller bortgiftes, men de ere som Engle i Himlene.

²⁶ But about the dead, that they are raised; haven’t you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ Exodus 3:6 ?

²⁶Men hvad de døde angår, at de oprejses, have I da ikke læst i Mose Bog i Stedet om Tornebusken, hvorledes Gud talede til ham og sagde: Jeg er Abrahams Gud og Isaks Gud og Jakobs Gud?

²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”

²⁷Han er ikke dødes, men levendes Gud; I fare meget vild."

²⁸One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”

²⁸Og en af de skriftkloge, som havde hørt deres Ordskifte og set, at han svarede dem godt, kom til ham og spurgte ham: "Hvilket Bud er det første af alle?"

²⁹Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:

²⁹Jesus svarede: "Det første er: Hør Israel! Herren, vor Gud, Herren er een;

³⁰ you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Deuteronomy 6:4-5 This is the first commandment.

³⁰og du skal elske Herren, din Gud af hele dit Hjerte og af hele din Sjæl og af hele dit Sind og af hele din Styrke.

³¹ The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Leviticus 19:18 There is no other commandment greater than these.”

³¹Et andet er dette: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv. Større end disse er intet andet Bud."

³²The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,

³²Og den skriftkloge sagde til ham: "Rigtigt, Mester, og med Sandhed har du sagt, at han er een, og der er ingen anden foruden ham.

³³and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

³³Og at elske ham af hele sit Hjerte og af hele sin Forstand og af hele sin Styrke og at elske sin Næste som sig selv, det er mere end alle Brændofrene og Slagtofrene."

³⁴When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” No one dared ask him any question after that.

³⁴Og da Jesus så, at han svarede forstandigt, sagde han til ham: "Du er ikke langt fra Guds Rige." Og ingen vovede mere at rette Spørgsmål til ham.

³⁵Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

³⁵Og da Jesus lærte i Helligdommen, tog han til Orde og sagde: "Hvorledes sige de skriftkloge, at Kristus er Davids Søn?

³⁶ For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

³⁶David selv sagde ved den Helligånd: Herren sagde til min Herre: Sæt dig ved min, højre Hånd, indtil jeg får lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder.

³⁷ Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.

³⁷David selv kalder ham Herre; hvorledes er han da hans Søn?" Og den store Skare hørte ham gerne.

³⁸In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,

³⁸Og han sagde i sin Undervisning: "Tager eder i Vare for de skriftkloge, som gerne ville gå i lange Klæder og lade sig hilse på Torvene

³⁹ and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts:

³⁹og gerne ville have de fornemste Pladser i Synagogerne og sidde øverst til Bords ved Måltiderne;

⁴⁰ those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

⁴⁰de, som opæde Enkers Huse og på Skrømt bede længe, disse skulle få des hårdere Dom."

⁴¹Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

⁴¹Og han satte sig lige over for Tempelblokken og så, hvorledes Mængden lagde Penge i Blokken, og mange rige lagde meget deri.

⁴²A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, literally, lepta (or widow’s mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker’s daily wages. which equal a quadrans coin. A quadrans is a coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day’s wages for an agricultural laborer.

⁴²Og der kom en fattig Enke og lagde to Skærve i, hvilket er en Hvid".

⁴³He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

⁴³Og han kaldte sine Disciple til sig og sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, denne fattige Enke har lagt mere deri end alle de som lagde i Tempelblokken.

⁴⁴ for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

⁴⁴Thi de lagde alle af deres Overflod; men hun lagde af sin Fattigdom alt det, hun havde, sin hele Ejendom."
