\subsection{Luke 20}
|
|
\subsubsection{The Authority of \Iesous}
|
|
\VS{1} And it came [about] one of the days of his teaching in the temple and good-newsing
|
|
[that] the chief priests and the scribes with the elders stood against [him],
|
|
\VS{2} and spoke saying to him: Tell us in what sort of authority you do these [things],
|
|
or who is the [one] having given to you this authority?
|
|
\VS{3} But answering he said to them: I will also ask you [a] word\fnLogos{}, and you tell me:
|
|
\VS{4} Was the baptism of \John from heaven or from humanity\fnAnthropos{}?
|
|
\VS{5} But they reasoned among themselves saying that: If we say: From heaven, he will say:
|
|
Why did you not believe him?
|
|
\VS{6} But if we say: From humanity, all the people will stone us,
|
|
for they are persuaded \John is [a] prophet.
|
|
\VS{7} And they answered [that they] knew not whence.
|
|
\VS{8} And \Iesous said to them: Neither do I tell you in what sort of authority I do these [things].
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Tenants}
|
|
\VS{9} So he began to be saying to the people this parable:
|
|
Someone\fnAnthropos{} planted [a] vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and was absent [for a] long time.
|
|
\VS{10} And in [the] opportune-time\fnKairos{} he sent [a] slave to the farmers,
|
|
in order that they give to him of the fruit of the vineyard.
|
|
But the farmers having beaten [him] sent him away empty-handed.
|
|
\VS{11} And he appointed another slave to send, but also having beaten
|
|
and having treated that [one] shamefully they sent [him] away empty-handed.
|
|
\VS{12} and he appointed [a] third to send, but they also having wounded him they threw [him] out.
|
|
\VS{13} So the lord of the vineyard said:
|
|
What will I do? I will send my agape-beloved son, perhaps they will respect him.
|
|
\VS{14} But seeing him the farmers were reasoning to each other saying:
|
|
This is the heir. let us be killing him, in order that the inheritance become ours.
|
|
\VS{15} And having thrown him out of the vineyard they killed [him].
|
|
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
|
|
\VS{16} He will come and will destroy those farmers,
|
|
and will give the vineyard to others.
|
|
\VS{17} But having heard they said:
|
|
May it not be. But fixing his gaze upon [them] he said to them:
|
|
What therefore is this written [thing]\footnote{Ps.118:22}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
The stone that the builders rejected \\
|
|
This has become the chief cornerstone.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{18} Everyone having fallen upon this stone will be dashed to pieces, but
|
|
upon whom it fall, it will crush him.
|
|
|
|
\VS{19} And the scribes and the Pharisees sought to throw their hands upon him in that hour,
|
|
and they feared the people, for they knew that he said this parable towards them.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Paying Taxes to Caesar}
|
|
\VS{20} And having watched closely they sent spies pretending to be just,
|
|
in order that they lay hold of his word, so as to deliver him up to the ruler and to the authority of the governor.
|
|
\VS{21} And they asked him saying: Teacher, we know that you rightly speak and teach and do not accept appearances,
|
|
but upon truth you teach the way of God:
|
|
\VS{22} Is it allowed we give tribute\footnote{or ``tax''} to Caesar or not?
|
|
\VS{23} But having known their trickery he said to them:
|
|
\VS{24} Show me [a] denarius\fnDenarion.
|
|
Whose image\footnote{
|
|
EIK\={O}N: The same word as in Genesis 1:26--27: ``Let us make humanity in our own \textit{image}\ldots''
|
|
} and inscription has it\footnote{
|
|
The Roman denarius featured a picture of Caesar, with the inscription ``Son of the Divine Augustus.''
|
|
}?
|
|
And they said: Caesar's.
|
|
\VS{25} But he said to them: So render\footnote{or ``give back''} the [things] of Caesar to Caesar
|
|
and the [things] of God to God.
|
|
\VS{26} And they were unable to lay hold of his word\fnRema{} before the people,
|
|
and marveling upon his answer they were silent.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Marriage and Resurrection}
|
|
\VS{27} Now some of the Saducees having come, who oppose [that there] is [a] resurrection,
|
|
asked him
|
|
\VS{28} saying: Teacher, \Moses wrote to us, If any brother die having [a] wife,
|
|
and this [man] be childless, that his brother take the woman and raise up seed to his brother%
|
|
\footnote{
|
|
\footnote{
|
|
This is the custom of levirate marriage (from Latin \textit{levir}, "husband's brother"),
|
|
set out in \myxref{Deut}{25}{5}.
|
|
Its stated purpose is to preserve the dead brother's name: "that his name may not be blotted out of \Israel" (\myxref{Deut}{25}{6}).
|
|
The same custom appears earlier, in \myxref{Gen}{38}{8}, where \Judah tells Onan to "raise up seed" for his dead brother.
|
|
Since land and inheritance passed only through male heirs,
|
|
the arrangement also secured the widow's place in the family --
|
|
without a son, she had no independent claim to support.
|
|
} }.
|
|
\VS{29} Now there were seven brothers, and the first taking [a] wife died childless.
|
|
\VS{30} And the second,
|
|
\VS{31} and the third took her, but likewise even the seven did not leave [a] child and they died.
|
|
\VS{32} And finally the woman died.
|
|
\VS{33} Therefore in the resurrection, of which of them will the woman become wife?
|
|
For the seven had her wife.
|
|
|
|
\VS{34} And \Iesous said to them: The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
|
|
\VS{35} but those considered worthy to attain that age and the resurrection of the dead
|
|
neither marry nor are given in marriage.
|
|
\VS{36} For neither are they still able to die,
|
|
for they are like angels, and they are sons of God being sons of the resurrection,
|
|
\VS{37} because the dead are raised, and \Moses revealed [it] at the bush, as he says\footnote{Ex.3:6}:
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
The Lord, the God of \Abraam and God of \Isaac and God of \Jacob\fnJacob{};
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
\VS{38} But he is not God of the dead, but of the \zoe{}-living\fnZoe{}, for all \zoe{}-live in him.
|
|
\VS{39} So some of the scribes answering him said: Teacher, you spoke well.
|
|
\VS{40} For no longer daring, no one questioned him.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Anointed [One]: \David's Son and Lord}
|
|
\VS{41} But he said to them: How do they say the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One] to be \David's son?
|
|
\VS{42} For \David himself says in the scroll of Psalms\footnote{Ps.110:1},
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
{}[The] Lord said to my Lord: \\
|
|
Sit at my right \\
|
|
\VS{43} Until I place your enemies \\
|
|
{}[for a] footstool [of your] feet.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{44} \David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son%
|
|
\footnote{A son would call their father `lord,' but not the other way around.
|
|
The Anointed [One] was to be \David{}'s offspring (generations later), so normally the Anointed [One] would still refer
|
|
to his great-great-great\ldots{}grandfather as `lord'}?
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous Warns the Disciples against Pride}
|
|
\VS{45} So while all the people were hearing he said to the disciples:
|
|
\VS{46} Be giving heed from the scribes wanting to be walking [about] in long robes
|
|
and philia-loving greetings in the market place and the first seats in the synagogues and first places in feasts,
|
|
\VS{47} who consume widow's houses and in pretense pray long; these will receive greater judgment.
