1 And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.
2 And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.
3 And they took him, and gave him blows, and sent him away with nothing.
4 And again he sent to them another servant; and they gave him wounds on the head, and were very cruel to him.
5 And he sent another; and they put him to death: and a number of others, whipping some, and putting some to death.
6 He still had one, a dearly loved son: he sent him last to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.
7 But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.
8 And they took him and put him to death, pushing his body out of the garden.
9 What then will the master of the garden do? He will come and put the workmen to death, and will give the garden into the hands of others.
10 Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:
11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?
12 And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.
13 Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick.
14 And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?
15 Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.
16 And they gave him one. And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.
18 And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,
19 Master, in the law Moses says, If a man's brother comes to his end, and has a wife still living and no child, it is right for his brother to take his wife, and get a family for his brother.
20 There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and at his death there were no offspring;
21 And the second took her, and at his death there were no offspring; and the third the same:
22 And all the seven had no seed. Last of all the woman herself came to her death.
23 In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.
24 Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?
25 When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.
26 But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you are greatly in error.
28 And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?
29 Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;
30 And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
31 The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.
32 And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:
33 And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.
34 And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.
35 And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
36 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.
37 David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.
38 And in his teaching he said, Be on your watch against the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes and be respected in the market-places,
39 And to have the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;
40 Who take away the property of widows, and before the eyes of men make long prayers; these will be judged more hardly.
41 And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.
42 And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.
43 And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:
44 Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.
1 Na ka timata ia ki te korero kupu whakarite ki a ratou. I whakataiepatia ana ki te taiepa, na ka keria te takotoranga waina, hanga ana tetahi whare tiketike, tukua ana e ia ki nga kaimahi, na ko tona haerenga ki tawhiti.
2 A i te po i tika ai ka tonoa e ia he pononga ki nga kaimahi ki te tiki i etahi hua o te mara waina i a ratou.
3 Na ka mau ratou ki a ia, a whiua ana, tonoa kautia atu ana.
4 Na ka tonoa ano e ia ki a ratou tetahi atu pononga; a ka akina ia e ratou ki te kohatu, ngawha iho tona matenga, a ka tukinotia ia e ratou ka tonoa atu.
5 Na ka tonoa ano e ia tetahi atu; a whakamatea iho ia e ratou; me era atu, tona tini, ko etahi i whiua, ko etahi i whakamatea.
6 Na kotahi ake ano tana, he tama aroha nana, ko ia o muri rawa i tonoa ai e ia ki a ratou, i mea hoki ia, E hopohopo ratou ki taku tama.
7 Na ka mea aua kaimahi ki a ratou ano, Ko te tangata tenei mona te kainga; tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, a mo tatou te kainga.
8 Na ka mau ratou ki a ia, whakamatea iho, maka ana ki waho o te mara waina.
9 Na, ka pehea te rangatira o te mara waina? ka haere ia, ka whakangaro i nga kaimahi, ka hoatu te mara waina ki etahi atu.
10 Kahore koia koutou i kite i tenei karaipiture; Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga kua meinga hei mo te kokonga:
11 Na te Ariki tenei, a he mea whakamiharo hoki ki a tatou kanohi?
12 Na ka whai ratou kia hopukina ia, otiia i mataku i te mano: i matau hoki ratou mo ratou te kupu whakarite i korerotia nei e ia: na whakarerea ana ia, haere ana ratou.
13 Na ka tonoa mai e ratou ki a ia etahi o nga parihi, ratou ko nga Heroriana, hei hopu mo tetahi kupu ana.
14 A, no to ratou taenga mai, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, e matau ana matou he kupu pono tau, e kore ano ta te tangata e whakaaroa e koe; e kore ano koe e titiro ki te kanohi tangata, engari ka whakaako i te ara a te Atua i runga i te pono. H e mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha ki a Hiha, ehara ranei?
15 Me hoatu ranei e matou, kaua ranei e hoatu? Otira i mohio ia ki to ratou tinihanga, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka whakamatautau ai i ahau? mauria mai he pene ki ahau, kia kite ahau.
16 A mauria ana mai. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, No wai tenei ahua me te tuhituhinga? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, No Hiha.
17 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Hoatu ki a Hiha nga mea a Hiha, ki te Atua nga mea a te Atua. A miharo ana ratou ki a ia.
18 Na ka haere mai ki a ia nga Haruki, e mea nei kahore he aranga; ka ui ki a ia, ka mea,
19 E te kaiwhakaako, i tuhituhi a Mohi ki a matou, Ki te mate te tuakana o tetahi tangata, mahue iho tana wahine, kahore he tamariki hei waihotanga iho, me tango tana wahine e tona teina, ka whakatupu uri ai mo tona tuakana.
20 Na tera tetahi whanau, tokowhitu, he tuakana, he teina: ka tango to mua i te wahine, ka mate, a kahore he uri hei waihotanga iho.
21 Katahi ka tango te tuarua i a ia, ka mate, kahore ano hoki ona uri hei waihotanga iho: pera tonu ano hoki te tuatoru.
22 I tango ano te tokowhitu i a ia, a kahore o ratou uri hei waihotanga iho: muri rawa iho ka mate ko te wahine.
23 Na, i te aranga, i te mea ka ara ratou, ma wai o ratou te wahine? he wahine hoki ia na ratou tokowhitu.
24 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ehara ianei tenei i te mea i he ai koutou, kahore nei hoki e mohio ki nga karaipiture, ki te kaha hoki o te Atua?
25 I te mea hoki ka ara mai ratou i te hunga mate, e kore e marena, e kore ano e hoatu kia marenatia; engari ka rite ki nga anahera o te rangi.
26 Na mo te hunga mate, mo to ratou aranga mai: kahore koutou i kite i roto i te pukapuka a Mohi, i te wahi ki te Rakau, i ta te Atua i ki ai ki a ia, i mea ai, Ko te Atua ahau o Aperahama, ko te Atua o Ihaka, ko te Atua o Hakopa?
27 Ehara ia i te Atua no te hunga mate, engari he Atua no te hunga ora: na nui atu to koutou he.
28 A, ko te haerenga mai o tetahi o nga karaipi, ko te rongonga ki a ratou e totohe ana, ka kite he pai tana whakahoki ki a ratou, ka ui ki a ia, Ko tehea te tuatahi o nga ture katoa?
29 Na ko te whakahokinga a Ihu ki a ia, Ko te tuatahi o nga ture katoa, Whakarongo, e Iharaira: Ko te Ariki, ko to tatou Atua, he Ariki kotahi:
30 Kia whakapaua hoki tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou hinengaro, tou kaha, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua: ko te ture tuatahi tenei.
31 Ko te tuarua tenei, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe. Kahore he ture ke atu e rahi ake ana i enei.
32 Na ka mea te karaipi ki a ia, he pono, e te Kaiwhakaako, he tika tau korero kotahi tonu ia, a kahore tetahi ko ia anake:
33 A ko te whakapau i te ngakau, i te hinengaro, i te wairua, i te kaha, ki te aroha ki a ia, me te aroha ki tona hoa tata, ano ko ia, nui atu ena i nga tahunga tinana, i nga patunga tapu katoa.
34 A, no te kitenga o ihu he kupu mohio tana i whakahoki ai, ka mea ki a ia, Kahore koe i matara atu i te rangatiratanga o te Atua. A kihai tetahi tangata i maia ki te ui ki a ia i muri iho.
35 Na ka ki a Ihu, ka mea, i a ia e whakaako ana i roto i te temepara, Na te aha nga karaipi ka mea ai, he tama na Rawiri a te Karaiti?
36 Na Rawiri ake hoki te kupu i roto i te Wairua Tapu, I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
37 Ko Rawiri tonu tenei e karanga nei ki a ia he Ariki; a no hea ia i tama ai ki a ia? A ahuareka ana te mano tini ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
38 Na i mea ano ia ki a ratou i tana akoranga, Kia tupato ki nga karaipi, ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko te haereere i roto i nga kakahu roroa, me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko,
39 Me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari:
40 Ka pau nei i a ratou nga whare o nga pouaru, a ka maminga ki te inoi roa: he nui rawa te mate e pa ki enei.
41 A ka noho a Ihu i te ritenga atu o te takotoranga moni, ka matakitaki ki te mano e panga moni ana ki te takotoranga moni: a he tokomaha nga tangata whai taonga i panga moni maha ki roto.
42 Na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi pouaru rawakore, ka maka i nga mea nohinohi, e rua, kotahi patena ki te huia.
43 Na ka karangatia e ia ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ta tenei pouaru rawakore i maka ai, nui atu i a ratou katoa e maka ra kite takotoranga moni:
44 Ko ratou katoa hoki, he hira nei o ratou taonga, i maka ko tetahi wahi; tena ko ia i tona rawakoretanga i maka i ana mea katoa, ara i tona oranga katoa.
