STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיְהִי הַיּוֹם וְהוּא מְלַמֵּד אֶת־הָעָם בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וּמְבַשֵּׂר וַיִּגְּשׁוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים עִם־הַזְּקֵנִים	1 And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
2 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֱמָר־נָא לָנוּ בְּאֵיזוֹ רְשׁוּת אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה אֶת־אֵלֶּה אוֹ מִי הוּא הַנֹּתֵן לְךָ אֶת־הָרְשׁוּת הַזֹּאת	2 And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
3 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַף־אֲנִי אֶשְׁאָלְכֶם דָּבָר וְאִמְרוּ לִי	3 And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
4 טְבִילַת יוֹחָנָן הֲמִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם הָיָתָה אִם־מִבְּנֵי אָדָם	4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 וַיַּחְשְׁבוּ בְלִבָּם לֵאמֹר אִם־נֹאמַר מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאָמַר לָמָּה זֶּה לֹא הֶאֱמַנְתֶּם לוֹ	5 But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?
6 וְאִם־נֹאמַר מִבְּנֵי אָדָם וּסְקָלֻנוּ כָּל־הָעָם בְּעָמְדָם עַל־דַּעְתָּם כִּי יוֹחָנָן נָבִיא הָיָה	6 But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 וַיַּעֲנוּ לֹא יָדַעְנוּ מֵאָיִן	7 And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם גַּם־אֲנִי לֹא אֹמַר לָכֶם בְּאֵיזוֹ רְשׁוּת אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה אֵלֶּה	8 And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
9 וַיָּחֶל לְדַבֵּר אֶל־הָעָם אֶת־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה אִישׁ אֶחָד נָטַע כֶּרֶם וַיִּתֵּן אֹתוֹ אֶל־כֹּרְמִים וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ מֵרָחוֹק לְיָמִים רַבִּים	9 And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
10 וְלַמּוֹעֵד שָׁלַח עֶבֶד אֶל־הַכֹּרְמִים לָתֶת־לוֹ מִפְּרִי הַכָּרֶם וְהַכֹּרְמִים הִכֻּהוּ וַיְשַׁלְּחֻהוּ רֵיקָם	10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
11 וַיֹּסֶף שְׁלֹחַ עֶבֶד אַחֵר וַיַּכּוּ גַם־אֹתוֹ וַיְחָרְפֻהוּ וַיְשַׁלְּחֻהוּ רֵיקָם	11 And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
12 וַיֹּסֶף לִשְׁלֹחַ שְׁלִישִׁי וְגַם־אֹתוֹ פָצְעוּ וַיְגָרְשֻׁהוּ וַיִּדְחָפֻהוּ חוּצָה	12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 וַיֹּאמֶר בַּעַל־הַכֶּרֶם מָה־אֶעֱשֶׂה אֶשְׁלְחָה אֶת־בְּנִי אֶת־יְדִידִי כִּרְאוֹתָם אוֹתוֹ אוּלַי יָגוּרוּ מִפָּנָיו	13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
14 וְכִרְאוֹת אֹתוֹ הַכֹּרְמִים נוֹעֲצוּ יַחְדָּו לֵאמֹר זֶה הוּא הַיּוֹרֵשׁ לְכוּ וְנַהַרְגֵהוּ וּתְהִי־לָנוּ הַיְרֻשָּׁה	14 Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 וַיְגָרְשׁוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶל־מִחוּץ לַכֶּרֶם וַיַּהַרְגֻהוּ וְעַתָּה מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לָהֶם בַּעַל־הַכָּרֶם	15 So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 יָבוֹא וִיאַבֵּד אֶת־הַכֹּרְמִים הָאֵלֶּה וְיִתֵּן אֶת־הַכֶּרֶם לַאֲחֵרִים וַיְהִי כְּשָׁמְעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ חָלִילָה מִהְיוֹת כָּזֹאת	16 He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
17 וַיַּבֶּט־בָּם וַיֹּאמַר וּמָה הוּא זֶה הַכָּתוּב אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּה	17 But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 כֹּל הַנֹּפֵל עַל־הָאֶבֶן הַהִיא יִשָּׁבֵר וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר תִּפֹּל עָלָיו תִּשְׁחָקֵהוּ	18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים לִשְׁלֹחַ־בּוֹ אֶת־יָדָם בָּעֵת הַהִיא וַיִּירְאוּ מִפְּנֵי הָעָם כִּי יָדְעוּ אֲשֶׁר עֲלֵיהֶם דִּבֶּר אֶת־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה	19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
20 וַיֶּאֶרְבוּ־לוֹ וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ מְאָרְבִים וְהֵם נִדְמוּ כְצַדִּיקִים לְמַעַן יִלְכְּדוּ אוֹתוֹ בְּדָבָר לְהַסְגִּירוֹ אֶל־הַמַּלְכוּת וְאֶל־יַד הַנְּצִיב	20 And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
21 וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ לֵאמֹר רַבִּי יָדַעְנוּ כִּי נְכוֹנָה תְּדַבֵּר וּתְלַמֵּד וְלֹא־תִשָּׂא פָנִים כִּי בֶאֱמֶת מוֹרֶה אַתָּה אֶת־דֶּרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים	21 And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
22 הֲמֻתָּר לָנוּ לָתֶת־מַס אֶל־הַקֵּיסָר אִם־לֹא	22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
23 וַיַּכֵּר אֶת־נִכְלֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם	23 But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
24 מַה־תְּנַסּוּנִי הַרְאוּנִי דִּינָר שֶׁל־מִי הַדְּמוּת וְהַכָּתוּב אֲשֶׁר עָלָיו וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ שֶׁל־הַקֵּיסָר	24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar's.
25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לָכֵן תְּנוּ לַקֵּיסַר אֶת־אֲשֶׁר לַקֵּיסָר וְלֵאלֹהִים אֶת־אֲשֶׁר לֵאלֹהִים	25 And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's.
26 וְלֹא יָכְלוּ לְלָכְדוֹ בְדָבָר לִפְנֵי הָעָם וַיִּתְמְהוּ עַל־מַעֲנֵהוּ וַיַּחֲרִישׁוּ	26 And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
27 וַיִּקְרְבוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִן־הַצַּדּוּקִים הַכֹּפְרִים בִּתְחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ לֵאמֹר	27 And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
28 מוֹרֶה משֶׁה כָּתַב לָנוּ כִּי יָמוּת אָח בַּעַל אִשָּׁה וּבָנִים אֵין־לוֹ וְלָקַח אָחִיו אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ וְהֵקִים זֶרַע לְאָחִיו	28 Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 וְהִנֵּה הָיוּ שִׁבְעָה אַחִים וְהָרִאשׁוֹן לָקַח אִשָּׁה וַיָּמָת בְּלֹא־בָנִים	29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 וַיִּקַּח אֹתָהּ הַשֵּׁנִי וַיָּמָת גַּם־הוּא בְּלֹא־בָנִים	30 And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.
31 וַיִּקַּח אֹתָהּ הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וְכָכָה עָשֹוּ אַף־הַשִּׁבְעָה וְלֹא־הִנִּיחוּ בָנִים וַיָּמוּתוּ	31 And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.
32 וּבָאַחֲרוֹנָה מֵתָה גַם־הָאִשָּׁה	32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 וְהִנֵּה בִּתְחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים לְמִי מֵהֶם תִּהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה כִּי־הָיְתָה אִשָּׁה לַשִּׁבְעָה	33 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
34 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם בְּנֵי הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה יִשְׂאוּ נָשִׁים וְתִנָּשֶׂאנָה	34 And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 וְהַזֹּכִים לִנְחֹל אֶת־הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא וְאֵת תְּחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים לֹא־יִשְׂאוּ נָשִׁים וְלֹא תִנָּשֶׂאנָה	35 But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives.
36 כִּי לֹא־יוּכְלוּ עוֹד לָמוּת כִּי שָׁוִים הֵם לַמַּלְאָכִים וּבְנֵי אֱלֹהִים הֵמָּה בִּהְיוֹתָם בְּנֵי הַתְּקוּמָה	36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 וְגַם־משֶׁה רָמַז בַּסְּנֶה כִּי יָקוּמוּ הַמֵּתִים בְּקָרְאוֹ אֶת־יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אֱלֹהֵי יִצְחָק וֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב	37 Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
38 וְהָאֱלֹהִים אֵינֶנּוּ אֱלֹהֵי הַמֵּתִים כִּי אִם־אֱלֹהֵי הַחַיִּים כִּי כֻלָּם חַיִּים לוֹ	38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 וַיַּעֲנוּ מִן־הַסּוֹפְרִים רַבִּי יָפֶה דִבַּרְתָּ	39 And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
40 וְלֹא־עָרְבוּ עוֹד אֶת־לִבָּם לִשְׁאֹל אוֹתוֹ דָּבָר	40 And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
41 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֵיךְ יֹאמְרוּ עַל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ כִּי הוּא בֶּן־דָּוִד	41 But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
42 וְהוּא־דָוִד אָמַר בְּסֵפֶר תְּהִלִּים נְאֻם־יְהוָֹה לַאדֹנִי שֵׁב לִימִינִי	42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
43 עַד־אָשִׁית אֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדֹם לְרַגְלֶיךָ	43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 הִנֵּה דָּוִד קֹרֵא לוֹ אָדוֹן וְאֵיךְ הוּא בְנוֹ	44 David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?
45 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו בְּאָזְנֵי כָּל־הָעָם	45 And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
46 הִזָּהֲרוּ מִן־הַסּוֹפְרִים הַחֲפֵצִים לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ עֲטוּפֵי טַלִּית וְאֹהֲבִים אֶת־שֶׁאֱלוֹת שְׁלוֹמָם בַּשְּׁוָקִים וְאֶת־מוֹשְׁבֵי הָרֹאשׁ בְּבָתֵּי הַכְּנֵסִיּוֹת וְאֶת־הֲסִבּוֹת הָרֹאשׁ בַּסְּעוּדוֹת	46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:
47 הַבֹּלְעִים אֶת־בָּתֵּי הָאַלְמָנוֹת וּמַאֲרִיכִים תְּפִלָּתָם לְמַרְאֵה עֵינָיִם הֵמָּה מִשְׁפָּט עַל־יֶתֶר יִקָּחוּ	47 Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
