2. 2NDEBathi, “Ake usitshele ukuthi uwathatha ngaphi amandla okwenza lezizinto. Ngubani okunike amandla la?”BSBBSB: “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

5. 5NDEBahlanganisa amakhanda bathi, “Singathi, ‘Kwakuvela ezulwini,’ uzabuza athi, ‘Kungani lingazange limkholwe?’BSBBSB: They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6. 6NDEKodwa singathi, ‘Kwakuvela ebantwini,’ abantu bonke bazasikhanda ngamatshe ngoba bakholwa ukuthi uJohane wayengumphrofethi.”BSBBSB: But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7. 7NDENgakho baphendula bathi, “Kasikwazi ukuthi kwakuvela ngaphi.”BSBBSB: So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

10. 10NDENgesikhathi sokuvuna yathuma inceku yayo kubaqhatshi besivini ukuze bayiphe ingxenye yezithelo zesivini. Kodwa abalimi bayitshaya, bayixotsha ingaphathanga lutho.BSBBSB: 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.
11. 11NDEYathuma enye inceku kodwa laleyo bayitshaya bayiphatha kabuhlungu, bayixotsha ingaphathanga lutho.BSBBSB: So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12. 12NDEWaphinda wathuma eyesithathu, bayilimaza bayiphosela phandle.BSBBSB: Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13. 13NDEUmninisivini wasesithi, ‘Ngenzeni? Ngizathuma indodana yami engiyithandayo; mhlawumbe bazayihlonipha.’BSBBSB: ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14. 14NDEKodwa kwathi abaqhatshi besivini beyibona, bahlanganisa amakhanda ngaleyondaba. Bathi, ‘Le yindlalifa. Kasiyibulaleni, ilifa libe ngelethu.’BSBBSB: 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.’
15. 15NDEBasebeyikhuphela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala. Kambe umninisivini uzabathini?BSBBSB: So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16. 16NDEUzakuza afike ababulale labo baqhatshi besivini, isivini leso asinike abanye abalimi.” Abantu bathi bekuzwa lokhu bathi, “Sengathi lokhu kungaze kwafa kwenzeka!”BSBBSB: 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!”
17. 17NDEUJesu wabathi nhlo, wabuza wathi, “Pho kutshoni lokho okubhalwe ukuthi: ‘Ilitshe elalahlwa ngabakhi seliyilona ilitshe lekhoneni?’BSBBSB: 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’?
18. 18NDEWonke owela phezu kwalelolitshe uzachobozeka abe yizicucu, kodwa lowo eliwela phezu kwakhe uzahlifizwa.”BSBBSB: Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19. 19NDEAbafundisi bomthetho labaphristi abakhulu badinga indlela yokumbopha masinyane ngoba babesazi ukuthi wakhuluma umzekeliso lo eqonde bona. Kodwa babesesaba abantu.BSBBSB: 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.

They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
21. 21NDENgakho inhloli zambuza zathi, “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena ukhuluma njalo ufundisa okuqondileyo lokuthi kawubandlululi kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso elipheleleyo.BSBBSB: “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.
22. 22NDEKufanele yini ukuthi sithele imithelo kuKhesari loba hatshi?”BSBBSB: Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23. 23NDEWabubona ubuqili babo wathi kubo,BSBBSB: But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24. 24NDE“Ngitshengisani idenari. Kulomfanekiso kabani lombhalo kabani kuyo?” Baphendula bathi, “NgokaKhesari.”BSBBSB: “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25. 25NDEWathi kubo, “Ngakho nikani uKhesari okungokukaKhesari, linike uNkulunkulu okungokukaNkulunkulu.”BSBBSB: So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

27. 27NDEAmanye amaSadusi athi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo eza kuJesu elombuzo.BSBBSB: Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28. 28NDEAthi, “Mfundisi, uMosi wasibhalela ukuthi nxa umfowabo wendoda angafa atshiye umfazi, kodwa bengelabantwana, umfowabo kumele amngene umfelokazi ukuze azalele umfowabo abantwana.BSBBSB: “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.
29. 29NDEManje kwakulabafowabo abayisikhombisa. Owokuqala wathatha umfazi kodwa wafa engelamntwana.BSBBSB: Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.
30. 30NDEOwesibiliBSBBSB: Then the second
31. 31NDEnjalo lowesithathu laye wamthatha, bonke boyisikhombisa benza njalo bafa bengatshiyanga bantwana.BSBBSB: and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32. 32NDEEkucineni umfazi laye wafa.BSBBSB: And last of all, the woman died.
33. 33NDEPho-ke, ekuvukeni kwabafileyo uzakuba ngumkabani njengoba bonke boyisikhombisa babemthethe?”BSBBSB: So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

35. 35NDEKodwa labo abazabe befanele ukuba lengxenye kulesosikhathi lasekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabazukuthatha loba bendiswe,BSBBSB: 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.
36. 36NDEnjalo kabasayikufa ngoba sebenjengezingilosi. Bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, ngoba bengabantwana bokuvuka kwabafileyo.BSBBSB: 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.
37. 37NDEKodwa emlandweni wesixuku esasibhebha umlilo, uMosi laye wakuveza ukuthi abafileyo bayavuka, ngoba ubiza uThixo ngokuthi ‘uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe.’BSBBSB: 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.’
38. 38NDEKasuNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo, ngoba kuye bonke bayaphila.”BSBBSB: He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

40. 40NDEKasabanga khona owaba lesibindi sokumbuza eminye imibuzo.BSBBSB: And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41. 41NDEUJesu wasesithi kubo, “Kungani besithi uKhristu uyiNdodana kaDavida na?BSBBSB: Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42. 42NDEUDavida yena ngokwakhe uyakufakaza eNcwadini yamaHubo uthi: ‘INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: “Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,BSBBSB: For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43. 43NDEngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisinyathelo senyawo zakho.” ’BSBBSB: until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44. 44NDEUDavida umbiza athi ‘Nkosi.’ Pho angaba yindodana yakhe njani?”BSBBSB: Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45. 45NDEKwathi bonke abantu besalalele, uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe,BSBBSB: In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46. 46NDE“Limukani abafundisi bomthetho. Bathanda ukuhambahamba becece ngezembatho ezinde eziphephezelayo njalo bathanda ukubingelelwa emisikeni, futhi bathatha izihlalo eziphakemeyo emasinagogweni lezindawo zabahlonitshwa emadilini.BSBBSB: “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.
47. 47NDEBahuquluza izindlu zabafelokazi njalo bazibonakalisa ngokwenza imikhuleko emide. Abantu abanjalo bazajeziswa kabuhlungu.”BSBBSB: They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
