Luke 20 — TOJB
20Verse 1And it came about on one of the yamim Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying shiurim to HaAm (the People) in the Beis Hamikdash and was preaching the Besuras HaGeulah, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim with the Ziknei HaAm stood by;Verse 2They spoke, saying to him, Tell us by what shlita (authority) you do these things, or who is the one having given to you this shlita?Verse 3In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, I will also confront you will a she'elah, and you tell me:Verse 4The tevilah of teshuva of Yochanan — was it from Shomayim or from Bnei Adam?Verse 5And they reasoned to themselves saying, If we say, from Shomayim, he will say, why did you not believe him?Verse 6But if we say, from Bnei Adam, HaAm (the People) all will subject us to sequilah (stoning), for HaAm Yisroel are all convinced that Yochanan is a navi.Verse 7And they answered that they did not have daas of the origin of the tevilah of teshuva of Yochanan.Verse 8And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Neither am I telling you by what shlita (authority) I do these things.Verse 9And he began to tell this mashal to HaAm Yisroel. A certain ish planted a kerem and leased it to koremim (vine keepers) and he went away for a long time.+Verse 10And in season he sent to the koremim (vine keepers) an eved (servant) that from the pri of the kerem they will give to him. But the koremim (vine keepers) sent the eved away empty, having beaten him.Verse 11And he proceeded to send another eved. But him also, when they had beaten and dishonored him, they sent him away empty.Verse 12And he proceeded to send an eved shlishi (a third servant). And also this one, having wounded, they threw out.Verse 13And the Adon of the kerem, said, What should I do? I will send Beni Ahuvi. Perhaps this one they will respect.Verse 14But having seen him, the koremim (vine keepers) were reasoning with one another saying, This one is the Bechor, the heir. Let us kill him, that the bechorah may become ours.Verse 15And having driven him outside the kerem, they killed him. What then will the Baal HaKerem do to them?Verse 16He will come and will destroy these koremim (vine keepers) and will give the kerem to others. And having heard this, HaAm Yisroel said, Chas vShalom!Verse 17But having looked at them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, What then is this which has been written: EVEN MAASU HAYTAH LEROSH PINAH (The Stone they rejected became the capstone)?+Verse 18Everyone having fallen upon that EVEN (stone) will be DAKU+(broken into pieces), and upon whomever it falls, it will crush him.+Verse 19And the Sofrim and the Rashei Hakohenim sought to lay their hands upon him in the same hour, but they were afraid of HaAm Yisroel, for they knew that he spoke this mashal (parable) against them.Verse 20And having watched carefully, they sent spies pretending themselves to be tzaddikim, that they might catch him in his dvar, so as to deliver him to the rulers and the manhigim under the Moshel (Governor).Verse 21And they set a she'elah (question) before him, saying, Rabbi, we have daas that you speak beemes in the shiurim you say and you show no deference toward anyone, but on the basis of HaEmes you give torah about HaDerech Hashem.Verse 22Is it mutar for us to pay tax to Caesar or not?Verse 23But having noticed the ORMAH+(cunning, craftiness) in their manner, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them,Verse 24Show me a denarius. Whose demut (likeness) has it? And whose inscription? And they said, Caesarʼs.Verse 25And he said to them, Then give the things of Caesar to Caesar and the things of Hashem to Hashem.Verse 26And they were not able to catch him in his dvar before the people and, having been nispoyel (marveled) at his teshuva (answer), they were silent.Verse 27And some of the Tzedukim — the Tzedukim are the ones speaking against the Techiyas HaMesim, who say there is none — approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. They set a she'elah (question) before him,Verse 28Saying, Rabbi, Moshe Rabbenu laid it down in writing to us, if someoneʼs ach dies and has an isha, and UVEN EIN LO (and there is no son to him), that he should take the almanah of his ach and he should raise up a zera (seed) to his ach.+Verse 29Now there were shiva achim. And the first took an isha, and died UVEN EIN LO (and there is no son to him).Verse 30And the second took her to be his isha, and he died childless.Verse 31And the third took her; and likewise also the seventh did not leave behind a ben and they all died.Verse 32And lemaskana (finally) the isha died.Verse 33The isha, then, in the Techiyas HaMesim, of which of them does she become the wife? For shiva had her as isha (wife).Verse 34And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, The banim of the Olam Hazeh marry and are given in marriage:Verse 35But the ones having been considered worthy to attain to the Olam HaBah and the Techiyas HaMesim neither marry nor are given in marriage.Verse 36For neither is it possible any longer for them to die, for they are like malachim and they are bnei haElohim, being bnei haTechiyas HaMesim.Verse 37But that the Mesim are made to stand up alive, even Moshe revealed at the burning bush, as he calls Adonoi ELOHEI AVRAHAM ELOHEI YITZCHAK VELOHEI YA'AKOV.+Verse 38But Hashem is not the G-d of Mesim but is Elohei HaChayyim, for to Hashem all are alive.Verse 39And, in reply, some of the Sofrim said, Rabbi, you spoke well.Verse 40For no longer were they daring to set a she'elah (question) before him regarding anything.Verse 41And he said to them, How do they say that the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach is to be [merely] Dovidʼs ben?Verse 42For Dovid himself says in the book of Tehillim, NEUM HASHEM LADONI: SHEV LIMINI,Verse 43AD ASHIT OYVECHA HADOM L'RAGLECHA.+Verse 44Therefore, if Dovid calls him Adon, how is he [merely] ben Dovid?Verse 45In the hearing of all the people, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim,Verse 46Beware of the Sofrim (Rabbonim), the ones wanting to strut around in long kaftans and loving+Birkat Shalom greetings in the marketplaces and the rashei hamoshavot (chief seats) in the shuls and the places of kavod at seudos tishen,Verse 47Which devour the batim (houses) of the almanot (widows) and for the sake of appearance daven lengthy tefillos (prayers): the same shall receive greater damnation.
