Luke 20
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
athaikadA yIzu rmanidarE susaMvAdaM pracArayan lOkAnupadizati, Etarhi pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAH prAnjcazca tannikaTamAgatya papracchuH
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
kayAjnjayA tvaM karmmANyEtAni karOSi? kO vA tvAmAjnjApayat? tadasmAn vada|
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
sa pratyuvAca, tarhi yuSmAnapi kathAmEkAM pRcchAmi tasyOttaraM vadata|
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
yOhanO majjanam Izvarasya mAnuSANAM vAjnjAtO jAtaM?
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
tatastE mithO vivicya jagaduH, yadIzvarasya vadAmastarhi taM kutO na pratyaita sa iti vakSyati|
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
yadi manuSyasyEti vadAmastarhi sarvvE lOkA asmAn pASANai rhaniSyanti yatO yOhan bhaviSyadvAdIti sarvvE dRPhaM jAnanti|
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
ataEva tE pratyUcuH kasyAjnjayA jAtam iti vaktuM na zaknumaH|
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
tadA yIzuravadat tarhi kayAjnjayA karmmANyEtAti karOmIti ca yuSmAn na vakSyAmi|
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
atha lOkAnAM sAkSAt sa imAM dRSTAntakathAM vaktumArEbhE, kazcid drAkSAkSEtraM kRtvA tat kSEtraM kRSIvalAnAM hastESu samarpya bahukAlArthaM dUradEzaM jagAma|
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
atha phalakAlE phalAni grahItu kRSIvalAnAM samIpE dAsaM prAhiNOt kintu kRSIvalAstaM prahRtya riktahastaM visasarjuH|
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
tataH sOdhipatiH punaranyaM dAsaM prESayAmAsa, tE tamapi prahRtya kuvyavahRtya riktahastaM visasRjuH|
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
tataH sa tRtIyavAram anyaM prAhiNOt tE tamapi kSatAggaM kRtvA bahi rnicikSipuH|
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
tadA kSEtrapati rvicArayAmAsa, mamEdAnIM kiM karttavyaM? mama priyE putrE prahitE tE tamavazyaM dRSTvA samAdariSyantE|
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
kintu kRSIvalAstaM nirIkSya parasparaM vivicya prOcuH, ayamuttarAdhikArI AgacchatainaM hanmastatOdhikArOsmAkaM bhaviSyati|
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
tatastE taM kSEtrAd bahi rnipAtya jaghnustasmAt sa kSEtrapatistAn prati kiM kariSyati?
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
sa Agatya tAn kRSIvalAn hatvA parESAM hastESu tatkSEtraM samarpayiSyati; iti kathAM zrutvA tE 'vadan EtAdRzI ghaTanA na bhavatu|
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
kintu yIzustAnavalOkya jagAda, tarhi, sthapatayaH kariSyanti grAvANaM yantu tucchakaM| pradhAnaprastaraH kONE sa Eva hi bhaviSyati| Etasya zAstrIyavacanasya kiM tAtparyyaM?
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
aparaM tatpASANOpari yaH patiSyati sa bhaMkSyatE kintu yasyOpari sa pASANaH patiSyati sa tEna dhUlivac cUrNIbhaviSyati|
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
sOsmAkaM viruddhaM dRSTAntamimaM kathitavAn iti jnjAtvA pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAzca tadaiva taM dhartuM vavAnjchuH kintu lOkEbhyO bibhyuH|
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
ataEva taM prati satarkAH santaH kathaM tadvAkyadOSaM dhRtvA taM dEzAdhipasya sAdhuvEzadhAriNazcarAn tasya samIpE prESayAmAsuH|
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
tadA tE taM papracchuH, hE upadEzaka bhavAn yathArthaM kathayan upadizati, kamapyanapEkSya satyatvEnaizvaraM mArgamupadizati, vayamEtajjAnImaH|
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
kaisararAjAya karOsmAbhi rdEyO na vA?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
sa tESAM vanjcanaM jnjAtvAvadat kutO mAM parIkSadhvE? mAM mudrAmEkaM darzayata|
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
iha likhitA mUrtiriyaM nAma ca kasya? tE'vadan kaisarasya|
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
tadA sa uvAca, tarhi kaisarasya dravyaM kaisarAya datta; Izvarasya tu dravyamIzvarAya datta|
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.

27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
aparanjca zmazAnAdutthAnAnaggIkAriNAM sidUkinAM kiyantO janA Agatya taM papracchuH,
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
hE upadEzaka zAstrE mUsA asmAn pratIti lilEkha yasya bhrAtA bhAryyAyAM satyAM niHsantAnO mriyatE sa tajjAyAM vivahya tadvaMzam utpAdayiSyati|
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
itthaM sapta bhrAtarastAmEva vivahya nirapatyAH santO mamruH|
32 Afterward the woman also died.
zESE sA strI ca mamAra|
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
ataEva zmazAnAdutthAnakAlE tESAM saptajanAnAM kasya sA bhAryyA bhaviSyati? yataH sA tESAM saptAnAmEva bhAryyAsIt|
tadA yIzuH pratyuvAca, Etasya jagatO lOkA vivahanti vAgdattAzca bhavanti (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
kintu yE tajjagatprAptiyOgyatvEna gaNitAM bhaviSyanti zmazAnAccOtthAsyanti tE na vivahanti vAgdattAzca na bhavanti, (aiōn g165)
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
tE puna rna mriyantE kintu zmazAnAdutthApitAH santa Izvarasya santAnAH svargIyadUtAnAM sadRzAzca bhavanti|
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
adhikantu mUsAH stambOpAkhyAnE paramEzvara IbrAhIma Izvara ishAka IzvarO yAkUbazcEzvara ityuktvA mRtAnAM zmazAnAd utthAnasya pramANaM lilEkha|
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
ataEva ya IzvaraH sa mRtAnAM prabhu rna kintu jIvatAmEva prabhuH, tannikaTE sarvvE jIvantaH santi|
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
iti zrutvA kiyantOdhyApakA UcuH, hE upadEzaka bhavAn bhadraM pratyuktavAn|
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
pazcAt sa tAn uvAca, yaH khrISTaH sa dAyUdaH santAna EtAM kathAM lOkAH kathaM kathayanti?
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
yataH mama prabhumidaM vAkyamavadat paramEzvaraH| tava zatrUnahaM yAvat pAdapIThaM karOmi na| tAvat kAlaM madIyE tvaM dakSapArzva upAviza|
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
ataEva yadi dAyUd taM prabhuM vadati, tarhi sa kathaM tasya santAnO bhavati?
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
pazcAd yIzuH sarvvajanAnAM karNagOcarE ziSyAnuvAca,
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
yE'dhyApakA dIrghaparicchadaM paridhAya bhramanti, haTTApaNayO rnamaskArE bhajanagEhasya prOccAsanE bhOjanagRhasya pradhAnasthAnE ca prIyantE
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
