Jesús oquitlalij se ejemplo yejhua ica on xcuajcualtin tlacamej yejhuan oquitequitiltijquej on tlajli

12  Quemaj Jesús opeu quintlaliliaj ejemplos, oquimijlij:

―Sen tlalejquetl oquitocac miyec uvas. Quemaj ocorraltij niman oquichijchiu se pilaj campa quipatzcasquej on uvas. Niman no oquichijchiu se torre para huelis quitlajpias on itlal. Niman quemaj oquinnextij sequimej medieros yejhuan tehuan tlaxelohuaj para quitlajpiasquej on uvas. Quemaj on tlalejquetl onejcuanij niman oyaj ipan ocse país. Ijcuac oyejcoc on tonaltin para quitequisquej on uvas, on tlalejquetl oquititlan se itequichihuilijcau para ma quintlajtlaniliti on medieros on quech yejhua quitocarohua quiselis. Pero yejhuamej ocajsiquej, niman oquimajmailijquej on tequichihuilijquetl. Ocontitlanquej niman xitlaj oquimacaquej. Quemaj on tlalejquetl oquititlan ocse itequichihuilijcau, niman on tlacamej oquitemojmotlaquej ipan itzontecon niman oquipijpinajtijquej. Quemaj on tlalejquetl oquititlan ocse itequichihuilijcau, niman on medieros oquimictijquej. Miyequej ocsequimej no ijqui oquinchihuilijquej. Sequimej oquinmajmailijquej, niman sequimej oquinmictijquej.

'On tlalejquetl sa iconeu itech ohuajnocau, yejhuan sanoyej quitlajsojtlaya. Quemaj sa ye ica quej yejhua oquititlan. On tlalejquetl quinemiliaya: “In noconeu quemaj quitlacaitasquej.” Pero ijcuac on teconeu oajsic ne ipan on tlatocyo ican uvas, on medieros oquijtojquej: “Yejhua in iconeu on tlalejquetl. Ijcuac miquis itaj, yejhua yes iyaxca nochi in tlajli. Aman ma ticmictican iconeu niman in tlajli toyaxca yes.” Quemaj ocajsiquej, oquimictijquej, niman itlalnacayo oquixtijquej ne ipan on tlatocyo ican uvas.

Quemaj Jesús oquintlajtoltij:

―Aman, tej, iteco on tlatocyo ican uvas, ¿tlinon quinchihuilis on xcuajcualtin medieros? Yejhua, tej, yas niman quinmimictis on medieros, niman on tlatoctli ocsequimej quinmacas.

10 Nemejhuamej cuajli nenquimatij quen ijqui quijtohua on tiotlajtojli:
On tetl yejhuan on tepanchijquej xoquiselijquej, aman yejhua yonotlalij yacatztica. 11 Yejhuan in ijqui oquitlalij on toTeco niman ticmojcaitaj tlen tiquitaj.

Quitocarohua quimacasquej on tequihuaj tlen yejhua iyaxca niman quimacasquej Dios on tlen yejhuan iyaxca

13 Quemaj oquintitlanquej sequimej fariseos niman sequimej herodianos para quichihualtisquej Jesús quijtos itlaj ican itlajtol yejhuan huelis ica quiteixpanhuisquej. 14 Yejhuamej ohualajquej, niman oquijlijquej Jesús:

―Temachtijquetl, ticmatztoquej ica nochipa tiquijtohua on tlen melahuac. Tejhua xtictencaqui on tlen quijtohuaj motech ica on tlacamej masqui huejhueyixtoquej.

15 Jesús oquitac inyojlo ica omexayacyejquej. Yejhua ica oquimijlij:

―¿Tlica nennechchihualtisnequij ma nemechijli itlaj yejhuan ica huelis nennechteixpanhuisquej? Xnechajcuilican se tomin para ma niquita.

16 Yejhuamej ocuajquiquej se tomin, niman Jesús oquintlajtoltij:

―¿Aquinon ixayac yejhua in, niman aquinon itocayo in nican tlajcuilolnesticaj ipan in tomin?

Yejhuamej oquinanquilijquej:

―On tequihua César yejhuan quimandarohua nochi on país itoca Roma.

17 Quemaj Jesús oquimijlij:

―Xmacacan César on tlen yejhua iyaxca, niman xmacacan Dios on tlen yejhua iyaxca.

Yejhuamej sanoyej otlamojcaitaquej ijcon quen oquinnanquilij.

Masqui totlalnacayo miquis toespíritu nemis

18 Niman oquitacoj Jesús sequimej saduceos yejhuan quijtohuaj ica xhuelis yolihuisquej on mimiquej. Quemaj oquijlijquej:

19 ―Temachtijquetl, Moisés oquijcuiloj para tejhuamej ica tla yacaj icniu miqui niman cajtehua isihuau, niman tla xitlaj iconeu cajtehua, icniu ihuan nonamictis isihuau niman ma yejhua tlaxinacho quen icniu yesquia. 20 Aman, tej, nemiyaj chicomemej icniutin yejhuan tlacamej.

Niman quemaj on sihuatl no omic. 23 Xtechijli, ijcuac yolihuilos, ¿catlejhua itech tesihuau yes de yejhuamej on chicomemej icniutin, pampa nochimej oquipixquej quen insihuau?

24 Jesús oquimijlij:

―Nenquijnehuaj pampa xnenquimatij tlinon quijtohua on Yectlajcuilojli, nion nenquimatij ica Dios nochi hueli quichihua. 25 Ijcuac on mimiquej yolihuisquej, xnonamictisquej nion on tatajtin quitemacasquej imichpochhuan para ma nonamictican. Ijcuacon nemisquej quen iilhuicactequitcahuan Dios yejhuan nemij ne ilhuicac. 26 Niman aman on ica yolisquej niman noquetztehuasquej on mimiquej, ¿xnenquimomachtianij iamau Moisés campa oquijcuiloj on tiotlajtojli ica Dios nemiya ne ijtic on tlacotepajsojli, niman oquinotz Moisés? Oquijlij ijquin: “Nejhua niiDios Abraham, niman niiDios Isaac, niman niiDios Jacob.” 27 Dios oquijtoj ijquin saquin ijcuac yomiquej yejhuamej on tlacamej, pero Dios xejhua inDios on mimiquej. Yejhua inDios on yoltoquej. Nemejhuamej yejhua in ica nenquipolohuaj sanoyej.

Jesús oquijtoj catlejhua tlanahuatijli más hueyi quijtosnequi

28 Ohuajlaj se temachtijquetl ican itlanhuatil Dios, niman yejhua ocac quen ijqui notencuicuiyaj Jesús. Yejhua ocac ica Jesús cuajli otlananquilij. Yejhua ica on temachtijquetl oquitlajtoltij:

―¿Catlejhua más hueyi quijtosnequi on tlanahuatijli de nochi?

29 Jesús oquinanquilij:

―On tlanahuatijli yejhuan más hueyi quijtosnequi yejhua in: “Xcaquican tlacamej yejhuan huajlehuaj ne Israel. ToTeco Dios, yejhua san se. 30 Xtlajsojtla on moTeco Dios ican nochi moyojlo, ican nochi moalma, ican nochi motlamachilis, niman ican nochi mochicahualis.” Yejhua in, tej, tlanahuatijli yejhuan más hueyi quijtosnequi. 31 Niman on ica ome tlanahuatijli san yejhua in: “Xquintlajsojtla ocsequimej no ijqui quen tejhua timotlajsojtla.” Xitlaj ocse tlanahuatiltin yejhuan más hueyi quijtosnequi quen yejhua in ome.

32 On temachtijquetl ican itlanahuatil Dios oquijlij Jesús:

―Temachtijquetl, otiquijtoj cuajli. Melahuac, san se Dios nemi, niman xacaj ocse Dios. 33 Tla tictlajsojtlasquej Dios ican nochi toyojlo, ican nochi totlamachilis, ican nochi toalma niman ican nochi tochicahualis, niman tla tictlajsojtlasquej nochi tlacatl ijcon quen tejhuamej titotlajsojtlaj, yejhua ica in más ticpactiaj Dios xquen itlaj huentli tictlatisquiaj noso itlaj ica titlamanasquiaj.

34 Ijcuac Jesús oquitac ica cuajli oquinanquilij, oquijlij:

―San polihui achijtzin para timotemacas itech Dios para yejhua mitzmandaros.

Niman xoc yacaj onoyolchicau para itlaj quitlajtoltis.

35 Quemaj ijcuac Jesús temachtiaya ne ipan on hueyi tiopan, quijtohuaya:

―¿Tlica on temachtijquej ican itlanahuatil Dios quijtohuaj ica Cristo, yejhuan Dios oquitlapejpenij para temandaros, yejhua teconeu ne itech David? 36 Sa no yejhua David oquimelajcaijtoj ican on Espíritu Santo:

Niman on tlacamej sanoyej miyequej quicaquiyaj ican pactli.

Jesús oquijtoj ica ma ca titohuicasquej quen nohuicaj on temachtijquej ican itlanhuatil Dios

38 Yejhua más quinmachtiaya, oquimijlij:

―Xmotacan sa no nemejhuamej intech on temachtijquej ican tlanahuatijli yejhuan cuelitaj tlaquenhuejhueyac quistinemij. Yejhuamej cuelitaj quistinemisquej ican intlaquen huejhueyaquej para nochi tlacatl quinemilis ica on temachtijquej ican itlanahuatil Dios sanoyej hueyixticaj.

Yejhuamej, tej, quiselisquej más hueyi castigo.

41 Jesús yehuaticatca ne nisiu itech on caja ne ipan on hueyi tiopan campa contlaliaj on huentomin. Ompa oquintac on tlacamej concajticatcaj inhuentomin. Miyequej yejhuan ricos conxinijticatcaj miyec tomin. 42 No ohuajlaj se sihuacahualtzintli mayanqui.

Pero in sihuatl, masqui mayanqui, oquitemacac nochi hasta on tlen ica nopanoltisquia.

The Parable of the Tenants(A)

12 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard.(B) He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.

“He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,(C) saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

“But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

“What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:

“‘The stone the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;(D)
11 the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’[a]?”(E)

12 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd;(F) so they left him and went away.(G)

Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(H)

13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians(I) to Jesus to catch him(J) in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[b] to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”

But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

“Caesar’s,” they replied.

17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”(K)

And they were amazed at him.

Marriage at the Resurrection(L)

18 Then the Sadducees,(M) who say there is no resurrection,(N) came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.(O) 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[c] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures(P) or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.(Q) 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[d]?(R) 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

The Greatest Commandment(S)

28 One of the teachers of the law(T) came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f](U) 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g](V) There is no commandment greater than these.”

32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.(W) 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”(X)

34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”(Y) And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.(Z)

Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AA)(AB)

35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts,(AC) he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?(AD) 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit,(AE) declared:

“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
    under your feet.”’[h](AF)

37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”

The large crowd(AG) listened to him with delight.

Warning Against the Teachers of the Law

38 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(AH) 40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

The Widow’s Offering(AI)

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put(AJ) and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”(AK)
