Luke 20
1 One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
Und es begab sich der Tage einen, da er das Volk lehrete im Tempel und predigte das Evangelium, da traten zu ihm die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten mit den Ältesten
2 They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
und sagten zu ihm und sprachen: Sage uns, aus was für Macht tust du das? oder wer hat dir die Macht gegeben?
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Ich will euch auch ein Wort fragen, saget mir's:
4 where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
Die Taufe des Johannes, war sie vom Himmel oder von Menschen?
5 They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
Sie aber gedachten bei sich selbst und sprachen: Sagen wir, vom Himmel, so wird er sagen: Warum habt ihr ihm denn nicht geglaubt?
6 But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
Sagen wir aber, von Menschen, so wird uns alles Volk steinigen, denn sie stehen darauf, daß Johannes ein Prophet sei.
7 So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
Und sie antworteten, sie wüßten's nicht, wo sie her wäre.
8 Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: So sage ich euch auch nicht, aus was für Macht ich das tue.
9 Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
Er fing aber an zu sagen dem Volk dieses Gleichnis: Ein Mensch pflanzte einen Weinberg und tat ihn den Weingärtnern aus und zog über Land eine gute Zeit.
10 When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
Und zu seiner Zeit sandte er einen Knecht zu den Weingärtnern, daß sie ihm gäben von der Frucht des Weinberges. Aber die Weingärtner stäupten ihn und ließen ihn leer von sich.
11 [Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
Und über das sandte er noch einen andern Knecht; sie aber stäupten denselbigen auch und höhneten ihn und ließen ihn leer von sich.
12 [Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
Und über das sandte er den dritten; sie aber verwundeten den auch und stießen ihn hinaus.
13 So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
Da sprach der HERR des Weinberges: Was soll ich tun? Ich will meinen lieben Sohn senden; vielleicht, wenn sie den sehen, werden sie sich scheuen.
14 [So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
Da aber die Weingärtner den Sohn sahen, dachten sie bei sich selbst und sprachen: Das ist der Erbe; kommt, lasset uns ihn töten, daß das Erbe unser sei!
15 So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
Und sie stießen ihn hinaus vor den Weinberg und töteten ihn. Was wird nun der HERR des Weinberges denselbigen tun?
16 He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
Er wird kommen und diese Weingärtner umbringen und seinen Weinberg andern austun. Da sie das höreten, sprachen sie: Das sei ferne!
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
Er aber sah sie an und sprach: Was ist denn das, das geschrieben stehet: Der Stein, den die Bauleute verworfen haben, ist zum Eckstein worden?
18 [That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
Welcher auf diesen Stein fällt, der wird zerschellen; auf welchen aber er fällt den wird er zermalmen.
19 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
Und die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten trachteten danach, wie sie die Hände an ihn legten zu derselbigen Stunde, und fürchteten sich vor dem Volk; denn sie vernahmen, daß er auf sie dieses Gleichnis gesagt hatte.
20 So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
Und sie hielten auf ihn und sandten Laurer aus, die sich stellen sollten, als wären sie fromm, auf daß sie ihn in der Rede fingen, damit sie ihn überantworten könnten der Obrigkeit und Gewalt des Landpflegers.
21 [So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
Und sie fragten ihn und sprachen: Meister, wir wissen, daß du aufrichtig redest und lehrest und achtest keines Menschen Ansehen, sondern du lehrest den Weg Gottes recht.
22 [So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
Ist's recht, daß wir dem Kaiser den Schoß geben oder nicht?
23 But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
Er aber merkte ihre List und sprach zu ihnen: Was versuchet ihr mich?
24 “Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
Zeiget mir den Groschen; wes Bild und Überschrift hat er? Sie antworteten und sprachen: Des Kaisers.
25 He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
Er aber sprach zu ihnen: So gebet dem Kaiser, was des Kaisers ist, und Gott, was Gottes ist.
26 While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
Und sie konnten sein Wort nicht tadeln vor dem Volk und verwunderten sich seiner Antwort und schwiegen stille.
27 Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
Da traten zu ihm etliche der Sadduzäer, welche da halten, es sei kein Auferstehen, und fragten ihn
28 They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
und sprachen: Meister, Mose hat uns geschrieben: So jemands Bruder stirbt, der ein Weib hat, und stirbt erblos, so soll sein Bruder das Weib nehmen und seinem Bruder einen Samen erwecken.
29 Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
Nun waren sieben Brüder. Der erste nahm ein Weib und starb erblos.
30 The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
Und der andere nahm das Weib und starb auch erblos.
31 Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
Und der dritte nahm sie. Desselbigengleichen alle sieben und ließen keine Kinder und starben.
32 Afterwards, the woman died, too.
Zuletzt nach allen starb auch das Weib.
33 Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
Nun in der Auferstehung, wessen Weib wird sie sein unter denen? Denn alle sieben haben sie zum Weibe gehabt.
34 Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Die Kinder dieser Welt freien und lassen sich freien; (aiōn g165)
35 But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
welche aber würdig sein werden, jene Welt zu erlangen und die Auferstehung von den Toten, die werden weder freien noch sich freien lassen. (aiōn g165)
36 [You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
Denn sie können hinfort nicht sterben; denn sie sind den Engeln gleich und Gottes Kinder, dieweil sie Kinder sind der Auferstehung.
37 But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
Daß aber die Toten auferstehen, hat auch Mose gedeutet bei dem Busch, da er den HERRN heißet Gott Abrahams und Gott Isaaks und Gott Jakobs.
38 It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
Gott aber ist nicht der Toten, sondern der Lebendigen Gott; denn sie leben ihm alle.
39 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
Da antworteten etliche der Schriftgelehrten und sprachen: Meister, du hast recht gesagt.
40 After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
Und sie durften ihn fürder nichts mehr fragen.
41 Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
Er sprach aber zu ihnen: Wie sagen sie, Christus sei Davids Sohn?
42 Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
Und er selbst, David, spricht im Psalmbuch: Der HERR hat gesagt zu meinem HERRN: Setze dich zu meiner Rechten,
43 [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
bis daß ich lege deine Feinde zum Schemel deiner Füße.
44 King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
David nennet ihn einen HERRN, wie ist er denn sein Sohn?
45 While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
Da aber alles Volk zuhörete, sprach er zu seinen Jüngern:
46 “Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
Hütet euch vor den Schriftgelehrten, die da wollen einhertreten in langen Kleidern und lassen sich gerne grüßen auf dem Markte und sitzen gerne obenan in den Schulen und über Tisch.
47 They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
Sie fressen der Witwen Häuser und wenden lange Gebete vor; die werden desto schwerere Verdammnis empfangen.
