1 και ηρξατο αυτοισ εν παραβολαισ λεγειν αμπελωνα εφυτευσεν ανθρωποσ και περιεθηκεν φραγμον και ωρυξεν υποληνιον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοισ και απεδημησεν
1 He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2 και απεστειλεν προσ τουσ γεωργουσ τω καιρω δουλον ινα παρα των γεωργων λαβη απο του καρπου του αμπελωνοσ
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 οι δε λαβοντεσ αυτον εδειραν και απεστειλαν κενον
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 και παλιν απεστειλεν προσ αυτουσ αλλον δουλον κακεινον λιθοβολησαντεσ εκεφαλαιωσαν και απεστειλαν ητιμωμενον
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 και παλιν αλλον απεστειλεν κακεινον απεκτειναν και πολλουσ αλλουσ τουσ μεν δεροντεσ τουσ δε αποκτενοντεσ
5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 ετι ουν ενα υιον εχων αγαπητον αυτου απεστειλεν και αυτον προσ αυτουσ εσχατον λεγων οτι εντραπησονται τον υιον μου
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 εκεινοι δε οι γεωργοι ειπον προσ εαυτουσ οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο κληρονομοσ δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και ημων εσται η κληρονομια
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 και λαβοντεσ αυτον απεκτειναν και εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνοσ
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 τι ουν ποιησει ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ ελευσεται και απολεσει τουσ γεωργουσ και δωσει τον αμπελωνα αλλοισ
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 ουδε την γραφην ταυτην ανεγνωτε λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
11 παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοισ ημων
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 και εζητουν αυτον κρατησαι και εφοβηθησαν τον οχλον εγνωσαν γαρ οτι προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ειπεν και αφεντεσ αυτον απηλθον
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 και αποστελλουσιν προσ αυτον τινασ των φαρισαιων και των ηρωδιανων ινα αυτον αγρευσωσιν λογω
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
14 οι δε ελθοντεσ λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθησ ει και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενοσ ου γαρ βλεπεισ εισ προσωπον ανθρωπων αλλ επ αληθειασ την οδον του θεου διδασκεισ εξεστιν κηνσον καισαρι δουναι η ου
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 δωμεν η μη δωμεν ο δε ειδωσ αυτων την υποκρισιν ειπεν αυτοισ τι με πειραζετε φερετε μοι δηναριον ινα ιδω
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 οι δε ηνεγκαν και λεγει αυτοισ τινοσ η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη οι δε ειπον αυτω καισαροσ
16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
17 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ αποδοτε τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω και εθαυμασαν επ αυτω
17 Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
18 και ερχονται σαδδουκαιοι προσ αυτον οιτινεσ λεγουσιν αναστασιν μη ειναι και επηρωτησαν αυτον λεγοντεσ
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
19 διδασκαλε μωσησ εγραψεν ημιν οτι εαν τινοσ αδελφοσ αποθανη και καταλιπη γυναικα και τεκνα μη αφη ινα λαβη ο αδελφοσ αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και εξαναστηση σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
19 “Teacher, Moses 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 επτα αδελφοι ησαν και ο πρωτοσ ελαβεν γυναικα και αποθνησκων ουκ αφηκεν σπερμα
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 και ο δευτεροσ ελαβεν αυτην και απεθανεν και ουδε αυτοσ αφηκεν σπερμα και ο τριτοσ ωσαυτωσ
21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
22 και ελαβον αυτην οι επτα και ουκ αφηκαν σπερμα εσχατη παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
23 εν τη αναστασει οταν αναστωσιν τινοσ αυτων εσται γυνη οι γαρ επτα εσχον αυτην γυναικα
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
24 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ου δια τουτο πλανασθε μη ειδοτεσ τασ γραφασ μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
24 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
25 οταν γαρ εκ νεκρων αναστωσιν ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε γαμισκονται αλλ εισιν ωσ αγγελοι οι εν τοισ ουρανοισ
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
26 περι δε των νεκρων οτι εγειρονται ουκ ανεγνωτε εν τη βιβλω μωσεωσ επι του βατου ωσ ειπεν αυτω ο θεοσ λεγων εγω ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ
26 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 ουκ εστιν ο θεοσ νεκρων αλλα θεοσ ζωντων υμεισ ουν πολυ πλανασθε
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28 και προσελθων εισ των γραμματεων ακουσασ αυτων συζητουντων ειδωσ οτι καλωσ αυτοισ απεκριθη επηρωτησεν αυτον ποια εστιν πρωτη παντων εντολη
28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
29 ο δε ιησουσ απεκριθη αυτω οτι πρωτη παντων των εντολων ακουε ισραηλ κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων κυριοσ εισ εστιν
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 και αγαπησεισ κυριον τον θεον σου εξ ολησ τησ καρδιασ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ψυχησ σου και εξ ολησ τησ διανοιασ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ισχυοσ σου αυτη πρωτη εντολη
30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 και δευτερα ομοια αυτη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον μειζων τουτων αλλη εντολη ουκ εστιν
31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 και ειπεν αυτω ο γραμματευσ καλωσ διδασκαλε επ αληθειασ ειπασ οτι εισ εστιν και ουκ εστιν αλλοσ πλην αυτου
32 The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
33 και το αγαπαν αυτον εξ ολησ τησ καρδιασ και εξ ολησ τησ συνεσεωσ και εξ ολησ τησ ψυχησ και εξ ολησ τησ ισχυοσ και το αγαπαν τον πλησιον ωσ εαυτον πλειον εστιν παντων των ολοκαυτωματων και θυσιων
33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 και ο ιησουσ ιδων αυτον οτι νουνεχωσ απεκριθη ειπεν αυτω ου μακραν ει απο τησ βασιλειασ του θεου και ουδεισ ουκετι ετολμα αυτον επερωτησαι
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
35 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ελεγεν διδασκων εν τω ιερω πωσ λεγουσιν οι γραμματεισ οτι ο χριστοσ υιοσ εστιν δαυιδ
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 αυτοσ γαρ δαυιδ ειπεν εν πνευματι αγιω λεγει ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
37 αυτοσ ουν δαυιδ λεγει αυτον κυριον και ποθεν υιοσ αυτου εστιν και ο πολυσ οχλοσ ηκουεν αυτου ηδεωσ
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
38 και ελεγεν αυτοισ εν τη διδαχη αυτου βλεπετε απο των γραμματεων των θελοντων εν στολαισ περιπατειν και ασπασμουσ εν ταισ αγοραισ
38 In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39 και πρωτοκαθεδριασ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ και πρωτοκλισιασ εν τοισ δειπνοισ
39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
40 οι κατεσθιοντεσ τασ οικιασ των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχομενοι ουτοι ληψονται περισσοτερον κριμα
40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
41 και καθισασ ο ιησουσ κατεναντι του γαζοφυλακιου εθεωρει πωσ ο οχλοσ βαλλει χαλκον εισ το γαζοφυλακιον και πολλοι πλουσιοι εβαλλον πολλα
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42 και ελθουσα μια χηρα πτωχη εβαλεν λεπτα δυο ο εστιν κοδραντησ
42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
43 και προσκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου λεγει αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα αυτη η πτωχη πλειον παντων βεβληκεν των βαλλοντων εισ το γαζοφυλακιον
43 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
44 παντεσ γαρ εκ του περισσευοντοσ αυτοισ εβαλον αυτη δε εκ τησ υστερησεωσ αυτησ παντα οσα ειχεν εβαλεν ολον τον βιον αυτησ
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… evil." And that we ought to worship God alone, He thus persuaded us: "The greatest commandment is, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve, with all thy heart, and with all thy strength, the Lord God that made thee." And when a certain man came to Him and said, "Good Master," He answered and …
Let us not, then, "be puffed up for one against the other," above that which is written; let us love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, and our neighbour as ourself. As to which two precepts of charity, unless we believe that Moses meant whatever in these books he …

And so the Lord in reference to their pride said immediately, "Beware of the Scribes which love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first rooms at feasts." Not because they hold them, but because they love them.
