Luke 20

1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

1 Og det skete på en af de Dage, medens han lærte folket i Helligdommen og forkyndte Evangeliet, da trådte Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge tillige med de Ældste hen til ham.

2 “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

2 Og de talte til ham og sagde: “Sig os, af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting, eller hvem er det, som har givet dig denne Magt?”

3 “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

3 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: “Også jeg vil spørge eder om en Ting, siger mig det:

4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

4 Johannes's Dåb, var den fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker?”

5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

5 Men de overvejede med hverandre og sagde: “Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige: Hvorfor troede I ham ikke?

6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

6 Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, da vil hele Folket stene os; thi det er overbevist om, at Johannes var en Profet.”

7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

7 Og de svarede, at de vidste ikke hvorfra.

8 And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

8 Og Jesus sagde til dem: “Så siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.”

9 Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

9 Men han begyndte at sige denne Lignelse til Folket: “En Mand plantede en Vingård og lejede den ud til Vingårdsmænd og drog udenlands for lange Tider.

10 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

10 Og da Tiden kom, sendte han en Tjener til Vingårdsmændene, for at de skulde give ham af Vingårdens Frugt; men Vingårdsmændene sloge ham og sendte ham tomhændet bort.

11 So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

11 Og han sendte fremdeles en anden Tjener; men de sloge også ham og forhånede ham og sendte ham tomhændet bort.

12 Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

12 Og han sendte fremdeles en tredje; men også ham sårede de og kastede ham ud.

13 ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

13 Men Vingårdens Herre sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? Jeg vil sende min Søn, den elskede; de ville dog vel undse sig, for ham.

14 But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

14 Men da Vingårdsmændene så ham, rådsloge de indbyrdes og sagde: Det er Arvingen; lader os slå ham ihjel, for at Arven kan blive vor.

15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

15 Og de kastede ham ud af Vingården og sloge ham ihjel. Hvad vil nu Vingårdens Herre gøre ved dem?

16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

16 Han vil komme og ødelægge disse Vingårdsmænd og give Vingården til andre.” Men da de hørte det, sagde de: “Det ske aldrig!”

17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

17 Men han så på dem og sagde: “Hvad er da dette, som er skrevet: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten?

18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

18 Hver, som falder på denne Sten, skal slå sig sønder; men hvem den falder på, ham skal den knuse.”

19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

19 Og Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge søgte at lægge Hånd på ham i den samme Time, men de frygtede for Folket; thi de forstode, at han sagde denne Lignelse imod dem.

20 So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

20 Og de toge Vare på ham og udsendte Lurere, der anstillede sig, som om de vare retfærdige, for at fange ham i Ord, så de kunde overgive ham til Øvrigheden og Landshøvdingens Magt.

21 “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

21 Og de spurgte ham og sagde: “Mester! vi vide, at du taler og lærer Rettelig og ikke ser på Personer, men lærer Guds Vej i Sandhed.

22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

22 Er det os tilladt at give Kejseren Skat eller ej?”

23 But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

23 Men da han mærkede deres Træskhed, sagde han til dem: “Hvorfor friste I mig?

24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

24 Viser mig en Denar*; hvis Billede og Overskrift bærer den?” Men de svarede og sagde: “Kejserens.” { [*se til Matth. 18, 28.] }

25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

25 Men han sagde til dem: “Så giver da Kejseren, hvad Kejserens er, og Gud, hvad Guds er.”

26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

26 Og de kunde ikke fange ham i Ord i Folkets Påhør, og de forundrede sig over hans Svar og tav.

27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

27 Men nogle af Saddukæerne, som nægte, at der er Opstandelse, kom til ham og spurgte ham og sagde:

28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

28 “Mester! Moses har foreskrevet os: Dersom en har en Broder, som er gift, og denne dør barnløs, da skal hans Broder tage Hustruen og oprejse sin Broder Afkom.

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

29 Nu var der syv Brødre; og den første tog en Hustru og døde barnløs.

30 Then the second

30 Ligeså den anden.

31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

31 Og den tredje tog hende, og således også alle syv; de døde uden at efterlade Børn.

32 And last of all, the woman died.

32 Men til sidst døde også Hustruen.

33 So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

33 Hvem af dem får hende så til Hustru i Opstandelsen? thi de have alle syv haft hende til Hustru.”

34 Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

34 Og Jesus sagde til dem: “Denne Verdens Børn tage til Ægte og bortgiftes;

35 But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

35 men de, som agtes værdige til at få Del i hin Verden og i Opstandelsen fra de døde, tage hverken til Ægte eller bortgiftes.

36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

36 Thi de kunne ikke mere dø; thi de ere Engle lige og ere Guds Børn, idet de ere Opstandelsens Børn.

37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

37 Men at de døde oprejses, har også Moses givet til Kende i Stedet om Tornebusken, når han kalder Herren: Abrahams Gud og Isaks Gud og Jakobs Gud.

38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

38 Men han er ikke dødes, men levendes Gud; thi for ham leve de alle.”

39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

39 Men nogle af de skriftkloge svarede og sagde: “Mester! du talte vel.”

40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.

40 Og de turde ikke mere spørge ham om noget.

41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

41 Men han sagde til dem: “Hvorledes siger man, at Kristus er Davids Søn?

42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

42 David selv siger jo i Salmernes Bog: Herren sagde til min Herre: Sæt dig ved min højre Hånd,

43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

43 indtil jeg får lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder.

44 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

44 Altså kalder David ham en Herre, hvorledes er han da hans Søn?”

45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

45 Men i hele Folkets Påhør sagde han til Disciplene:

46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

46 “Vogter eder for de skriftkloge. som gerne ville gå i lange Klæder og holde af at lade sig hilse på Torvene og at have de fornemste Pladser i Synagogerne og at sidde øverst til Bords ved Måltiderne,

47 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

47 de, som opæde Enkers Huse og på Skrømt bede længe; disse skulle få des hårdere Dom.”
