¹It happened on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, that the TR adds “chief” priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

¹In zgodi se enega tistih dni, ko je učil ljudstvo v templju in oznanjeval evangelij, da pridejo višji duhovniki in pismarji s starejšinami

²They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”

²in ga ogovore in reko: Povej nam, s kakšno oblastjo to delaš? ali kdo je, ki ti je dal to oblast?

³He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:

³Odgovori pa in jim reče: Vprašal bom tudi jaz vas eno besedo. Povejte mi:

⁴ the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”

⁴Krst Janezov je li bil iz nebes ali od ljudi?

⁵They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

⁵A oni premišljujejo sami pri sebi, govoreč: Ako rečemo: Iz nebes, nam poreče: Zakaj mu niste verovali?

⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

⁶Ako pa rečemo: Od ljudi, vse ljudstvo nas bo s kamenjem posulo, zakaj prepričano je, da je Janez prorok.

⁷They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.

⁷In odgovore, da ne vedo, odkod.

⁸Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

⁸In Jezus jim reče: Tudi jaz vam ne povem, s kakšno oblastjo to delam.

⁹He began to tell the people this parable. “A NU (in brackets) and TR add “certain” man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

⁹Ljudstvu pa začne praviti tole priliko: Nekdo je zasadil vinograd in ga dal vinogradnikom v najem, in odpotoval je za veliko časa.

¹⁰ At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.

¹⁰In ob svojem času pošlje k vinogradnikom hlapca, naj mu dado od sadu vinogradovega; a vinogradniki ga pretepo in odpošljejo praznega.

¹¹ He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

¹¹In zopet pošlje drugega hlapca; a oni pretepo tudi tega in zasramote ter odpošljejo praznega.

¹² He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.

¹²In zopet pošlje tretjega; in oni ranijo tudi tega in ga izženo.

¹³ The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’

¹³Reče pa gospodar vinogradov: Kaj naj storim? Pošljem sina svojega ljubljenega; ko bodo tega videli, nemara da se bodo bali.

¹⁴ “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

¹⁴Ko ga pa vinogradniki ugledajo, se posvetujejo med seboj, govoreč: Ta je dedič; umorimo ga, da bode dediščina naša.

¹⁵ They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁵In vržejo ga ven iz vinograda in umore. Kaj jim bo torej storil gospodar vinogradov?

¹⁶ He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”

¹⁶Pride in pogubi vinogradnike te in da vinograd drugim. Ko so pa to slišali, reko: Bog ne daj!

¹⁷But he looked at them, and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?’ Psalm 118:22

¹⁷On pa jih pogleda in reče: Kaj je torej to, kar je pisano: „Kamen, ki so ga zidarji zavrgli, ta je postal glava voglu“?

¹⁸ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”

¹⁸Vsak, kdor pade na ta kamen, se razbije; na kogar pa on pade, ga razdrobi.

¹⁹The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

¹⁹In pismarji in višji duhovniki bi bili radi položili nanj roke v to uro, ali zboje se ljudstva; spoznali so namreč, da je zanje povedal to priliko.

²⁰They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

²⁰In zalezujoč ga, pošljejo prežune, ki naj bi se hlinili pravične, da bi ga ujeli v besedi in ga potem izročili gosposki in oblasti poglavarjevi.

²¹They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

²¹In vprašajo ga, rekoč: Učenik, vemo, da prav govoriš in učiš ter ne gledaš ljudem na lice, marveč v resnici učiš pot Božjo.

²²Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

²²Je li prav, da dajemo cesarju davek, ali ne?

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

²³Ker pa spozna njih zvijačo, jim reče: Kaj me izkušate?

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

²⁴Pokažite mi denar. Čigavo podobo ima in napis? Pa reko: Cesarjevo.

²⁵He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁵In on jim veli: Dajte torej cesarju, kar je cesarjevega, in Bogu, kar je Božjega.

²⁶They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer, and were silent.

²⁶In niso ga mogli ujeti v besedi vpričo ljudstva, in umolknejo, čudeč se odgovoru njegovemu.

²⁷Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

²⁷In pristopijo nekateri od saducejev, ki pravijo, da ni vstajenja, in ga vprašajo,

²⁸They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

²⁸rekoč: Učenik! Mojzes nam je napisal: Če komu umre brat, oženjen, pa brez otrok, naj vzame njegov brat ženo njegovo in zbudi seme bratu svojemu.

²⁹There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

²⁹Bilo je pa sedem bratov. In prvi vzame ženo in umre brez otrok.

³⁰The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

³⁰In drugi

³¹The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

³¹in tretji jo vzame, in tako tudi vseh sedem, in pomrjejo, ne da bi bili zapustili otrok.

³²Afterward the woman also died.

³²Naposled umre tudi žena.

³³Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

³³Ta žena torej čigava izmed njih bo ob vstajenju? zakaj sedem jih jo je imelo za ženo.

³⁴Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage.

³⁴In reče jim Jezus: Sinovi tega sveta se ženijo in možé.

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

³⁵Ali ti, ki bodo spoznani za vredne, da dosežejo drugi svet in vstajenje iz mrtvih, se ne bodo ne ženili, ne možile;

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels, and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

³⁶kajti tudi umreti ne morejo več: enaki so namreč angelom in so sinovi Božji, ker so sinovi vstajenja.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Exodus 3:6

³⁷Da pa mrtvi vstajajo, je pokazal tudi Mojzes v zgodbi o grmu, ko imenuje Gospoda Boga Abrahamovega in Boga Izakovega in Boga Jakobovega.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

³⁸Bog pa ni Bog mrtvih, ampak živih; zakaj njemu so vsi živi.

³⁹Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

³⁹Odgovore pa nekateri pismarji in reko: Učenik, dobro si povedal.

⁴⁰They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

⁴⁰Kajti nič več si ga niso upali vpraševati.

⁴¹He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

⁴¹Reče jim pa: Kako pravijo, da je Kristus sin Davidov?

⁴² David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

⁴²David sam namreč pravi v knjigi psalmov: „Rekel je Gospod Gospodu mojemu: Sedi na desnici moji,

⁴³ until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

⁴³dokler ne položim sovražnikov tvojih nogam tvojim za podnožje“.

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

⁴⁴David ga torej imenuje Gospoda, in kako je sin njegov?

⁴⁵In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁵A ko ga vse ljudstvo posluša, reče učencem svojim:

⁴⁶ “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

⁴⁶Varujte se pismarjev, ki radi hodijo v dolgih oblačilih in ljubijo pozdrave po ulicah in prve stole v shodnicah in prve prostore na gostijah,ki požirajo vdovam hiše in opravljajo na videz dolge molitve. Ti prejmejo ostrejšo sodbo.

⁴⁷ who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these will receive greater condemnation.”

⁴⁷ki požirajo vdovam hiše in opravljajo na videz dolge molitve. Ti prejmejo ostrejšo sodbo.
