Hebrew Names Version HNV
1 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. 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.
1
He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, set a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
2
When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
3
They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully.
4
Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
5
Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
6
Therefore he had yet one, a beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
7
But those farmers said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
8
They took him, killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.
9
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
10
Haven't you even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner.
11 the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
11
This was from the Lord, It is marvelous in our eyes'?"
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; so they left him and went away.
12
They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.
13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words.
13
They sent some of the Perushim and of the Herodians to him, that they might catch him in 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 to Caesar or not?
14
When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don't defer to anyone; for you aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes 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.”
15
Shall we give, or shall we not give?" But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it."
16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”“Caesar’s,” they replied.
16
They brought it. He said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?" They said to him, "Caesar's."
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”And they were amazed at him.
17
Yeshua answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." They marveled greatly at him.
18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
18
There came to him Tzedukim, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,
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.
19
"Teacher, Moshe wrote to us, 'If a man's brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'
20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children.
20
There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third.
21
The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
22
and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
23
In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife."
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
24
Yeshua answered them, "Isn't this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor 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.
25
For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
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’?
26
But about the dead, that they are raised; haven't you read in the book of Moshe, at the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchak, and the God of Ya`akov?'
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
27
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."
28 One of the teachers of the law 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?”
28
One of the Sofrim came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, "What mitzvah is the greatest of all?"
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
29
Yeshua answered, "The greatest is, 'Hear, Yisra'el, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:
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.’
30
you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the primary mitzvah.
31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.”
31
The second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other mitzvah 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.
32
The Sofer said to him, "Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,
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.”
33
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
34
When Yeshua saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." No one dared ask him any question after that.
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?
35
Yeshua responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the Sofrim say that the Messiah is the son of David?
36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord:“Sit at my right handuntil I put your enemiesunder your feet.” ’
36
For David himself said in the Ruach HaKodesh, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.'
37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”The large crowd listened to him with delight.
37
Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?" The common people heard him gladly.
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,
38
In his teaching he said to them, "Beware of the Sofrim, who desire to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
39
and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
40
those who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
41
Yeshua sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
42
A poor widow came, and she cast in two lepta, which make a quadrans.
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.
43
He called his talmidim to himself, and said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
44
for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."
