1 And it came about on one of those days, when he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the good news,
2 That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.
3 And in answer he said to them, I will put a question to you, and do you give me an answer:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or of men?
5 And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?
6 But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.
7 And they made answer that they had no idea where it came from.
8 And Jesus said, And I will not make clear to you by what authority I do these things.
9 And he gave the people this story: A man made a vine-garden and gave the use of it to some field-workers and went into another country for a long time.
10 And at the right time he sent a servant to the workers to get part of the fruit from the vines; but the workmen gave him blows and sent him away with nothing.
11 And he sent another servant, and they gave blows to him in the same way, and put shame on him, and sent him away with nothing.
12 And he sent a third, and they gave him wounds and put him out.
13 And the lord of the garden said, What am I to do? I will send my dearly loved son; they may give respect to him.
14 But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.
15 And driving him out of the garden they put him to death. Now what will the lord do to these workmen?
16 He will come and put them to destruction and give the garden to others. And when he said this, they said, May it not be so.
17 But he, looking on them, said, Is it not in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has become the chief stone of the building?
18 Everyone falling on that stone will be broken, but the man on whom the stone comes down will be crushed to dust.
19 And the chief priests and the scribes made attempts to get their hands on him in that very hour; and they were in fear of the people, for they saw that he had made up this story against them.
20 And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.
21 And they put a question to him, saying, Master, we are certain that your teaching and your words are right, and that you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God:
22 Is it right for us to make payment of taxes to Caesar or not?
23 But he saw through their trick and said to them,
24 Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's.
25 And he said, Then give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
26 And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.
27 And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,
28 Master, Moses said that if a man's brother comes to his end, having a wife, but no children, his brother is to take the wife, and get a family for his brother.
29 Now there were seven brothers, and the first had a wife and came to his end, having no children;
30 And the second;
31 And the third took her; and in the same way, all the seven, without having any children, came to their end.
32 And last of all, the woman came to her end.
33 When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.
34 And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world are married and have wives;
35 But those to whom is given the reward of the world to come, and to come back from the dead, have no wives, and are not married;
36 And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.
37 But even Moses made it clear that the dead come back to life, saying, in the story of the burning thorn-tree, The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living: for all men are living to him.
39 And some of the scribes, in answer to this, said, Master, you have said well.
40 And they had fear of putting any more questions to him.
41 And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Take your seat at my right hand,
43 Till I put under your feet all those who are against you.
44 David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son?
45 And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46 Keep away from the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes, and to have words of respect said to them in the market-places, and to take the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;
47 Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.
1 A i tetahi o aua ra, i a ia e whakaako ana i te iwi i roto i te temepara, e kauwhau ana i te rongopai, ka tae mai nga tohunga nui, nga karaipi, me nga kaumatua ki a ia,
2 Ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, Korerotia mai ki a matou te mana i mea ai koe i enei mea? na wai hoki i hoatu tena mana ki a koe?
3 Ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Maku hoki e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu; ma koutou e mea mai ki ahau:
4 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no te rangi ranei, no te tangata ranei?
5 A ka korero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ki te mea tatou, No te rangi; ka mea mai ia, Ha, he aha koutou te whakapono ai ki a ia?
6 A ki te mea tatou, No te tangata; ka akina tatou e te iwi katoa ki te kamaka: e whakapono ana hoki ratou he poropiti a Hoani
7 Na ka whakahokia e ratou, E kore e kitea no hea ranei.
8 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, E kore ano e korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.
9 Na ka anga ia ka korero i tenei kupu whakarite ki te iwi; I whakatokia tetahi mara waina e tetahi tangata, a tukua ana ki nga kaimahi, a haere ana ki tawhiti, a maha noa nga ra.
10 A i te po i tika ai ka tonoa e ia he pononga ki nga kaimahi, kia hoatu ai e ratou ki a ia etahi o nga hua o te mara waina: otira ka whiua ia e nga kaimahi, whakahokia kautia ana.
11 Na ka tonoa ano e ia tetahi atu pononga: a ka whiua ano ia e ratou, ka tukinotia, whakahokia kautia ana.
12 Na ka tonoa ano hoki tetahi e ia, te tuatoru: a tukitukia ana ia e ratou, maka ana ki waho.
13 Na ka mea te rangatira o te mara waina, Me pehea ahau? Ka tonoa e ahau taku tama, taku e aroha nei: tera pea ratou e hopohopo ki a ia.
14 Otira, no te kitenga o nga kaimahi i a ia, ka korerorero ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ko te rangatira tenei mona te kainga: tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, kia riro mai ai te kainga i a tatou.
15 Na maka ana ia ki waho o te mara waina, whakamatea iho. Na ka aha te rangatira o te mara waina ki a ratou?
16 Ka haere ia, ka whakangaro i aua kaimahi, ka hoatu te mara waina ki etahi atu. A ka rongo ratou, ka mea, Kauaka.
17 Ka titiro ia ki a ratou, ka mea, He aha ra tenei kua oti nei te tuhituhi, Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga tenei hei mo te kokonga?
18 Na, ki te hinga tetahi ki runga ki tenei kohatu, mongamonga noa; ki te hinga tenei kohatu ki runga ki tetahi, ngotangota noa ia, ano he puehu.
19 Na ka whai nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi kia hopukia ia i taua wa ano; ka mataku ratou i te iwi: i mohio hoki ratou i korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite mo ratou.
20 Na ka ata tirohia ia e ratou, ka tonoa mai he kaiwhakarongo, ano te ahua kei to te hunga tika, hei hopu mo tana korero, kia tukua ai ia ki te rangatiratanga, ki te kaha o te kawana.
21 A ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e mohio ana matou he tika tau e korero nei, e whakaako nei, e kore ano e manakohia e koe te kanohi tangata, engari e whakaako pono ana koe i te huarahi o te Atua:
22 He mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha e matou ki a Hiha, kahore ranei?
23 Otira i kitea e ia to ratou hianga, a ka mea kia ratou, He aha koutou ka whakamatautau nei i ahau?
24 Kia kite ahau i tetahi pene. No wai tona ahua me te tuhituhinga? Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea, No Hiha.
25 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, hoatu rapea ki a Hiha nga mea a Hiha, ki te Atua ano nga mea a te Atua.
26 Heoi kihai i taea e ratou te hopu i tetahi korero ana i te aroaro o te iwi: na ka miharo ratou ki tana kupu, a whakarongo kau ana.
27 Na ka tae mai etahi o nga Haruki e mea nei kahore he aranga; ka ui ki a ia,
28 Ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, i tuhituhi a Mohi ki a matou, Ki te mate te tuakana o tetahi tangata, he wahine ano tana, a ka mate urikore ia, me tango te wahine e tona teina, ka whakatupu uri ai mo tona tuakana.
29 Na, tokowhitu taua whanau; ka tango to mua i te wahine, a mate urikore ana.
30 Na ka tango te tuarua i te wahine, a ka mate urikore ano ia.
31 Na ka tango te tuatoru i a ia; penei ano nga tokowhitu: kahore a ratou tamariki i waiho ai, a mate iho ratou.
32 Na muri iho i te katoa ka mate hoki te wahine.
33 Na, i te aranga, ma wai o ratou te wahine? he wahine hoki ia na te tokowhitu.
34 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, E marena ana, e hoatu ana ki te marena, nga tamariki o tenei ao:
35 Tena ko te hunga e paingia ana kia whiwhi ki tera ao, ki te aranga ano i roto i te hunga mate, e kore e marena, e kore ano e hoatu ki te marena:
36 E kore ano ratou e ahei kia mate: e rite ana hoki ki nga anahera; he tama hoki ratou na te Atua, he tama na te aranga.
37 Na, ko te aranga o te hunga mate, kua whakakitea mai tena e Mohi i tana mo te rakau, i karangatia ai te Ariki ko te Atua o Aperahama, ko te Atua o Ihaka, ko te Atua o Hakopa.
38 Na ehara ia i te Atua no te hunga mate, engari no te hunga ora: e ora katoa ana hoki i roto i a ia.
39 Na ka whakahoki etahi o nga karaipi ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, he pai tau korero.
40 Kihai hoki ratou i maia ki te ui ano ki a ia i tetahi mea.
41 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, na te aha ratou i mea ai he tama na Rawiri a te Karaiti?
42 Kua mea nei a Rawiri i te pukapuka o nga waiata, I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai,
43 Kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
44 Na ka kiia ia e Rawiri he Ariki, a he pehea i tama ai ki a ia?
45 A, i te iwi katoa e whakarongo ana, ka mea ia ki ana akonga,
46 Kia tupato ki nga karaipi, ko ta ratou nei e rawe ai ko nga kakahu roroa ina haereere ratou, e matenui ana ki nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari:
47 Pau ake hoki i a ratou nga whare o nga pouaru, e inoi roa ana hoki, he ahua kau: nui rawa te he e tau ki a ratou.
