THE HOLY GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE

Latin	English
[1] et factum est in una dierum docente illo populum in templo et evangelizante convenerunt principes sacerdotum et scribae cum senioribus	And it came to pass that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
[2] et aiunt dicentes ad illum dic nobis in qua potestate haec facis aut quis est qui dedit tibi hanc potestatem	And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? Or, who is he that hath given thee this authority?
[3] respondens autem dixit ad illos interrogabo vos et ego verbum respondete mihi	And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
[4] baptismum Iohannis de caelo erat an ex hominibus	The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
[5] at illi cogitabant inter se dicentes quia si dixerimus de caelo dicet quare ergo non credidistis illi	But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe in him?
[6] si autem dixerimus ex hominibus plebs universa lapidabit nos certi sunt enim Iohannem prophetam esse	But if we say, of men: the whole people will stone us. For they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
[7] et responderunt se nescire unde esset	And they answered that they knew not whence it was.
[8] et Iesus ait illis neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate haec facio	And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
[9] coepit autem dicere ad plebem parabolam hanc homo plantavit vineam et locavit eam colonis et ipse peregre fuit multis temporibus	And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
[10] et in tempore misit ad cultores servum ut de fructu vineae darent illi qui caesum dimiserunt eum inanem	And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
[11] et addidit alterum servum mittere illi autem hunc quoque caedentes et adficientes contumelia dimiserunt inanem	And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also and, treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
[12] et addidit tertium mittere qui et illum vulnerantes eiecerunt	And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also and cast him out.
[13] dixit autem dominus vineae quid faciam mittam filium meum dilectum forsitan cum hunc viderint verebuntur	Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
[14] quem cum vidissent coloni cogitaverunt inter se dicentes hic est heres occidamus illum ut nostra fiat hereditas	Whom, when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
[15] et eiectum illum extra vineam occiderunt quid ergo faciet illis dominus vineae	So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
[16] veniet et perdet colonos istos et dabit vineam aliis quo audito dixerunt illi absit	He will come and will destroy these husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
[17] ille autem aspiciens eos ait quid est ergo hoc quod scriptum est lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli	But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
[18] omnis qui ceciderit supra illum lapidem conquassabitur supra quem autem ceciderit comminuet illum	Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
[19] et quaerebant principes sacerdotum et scribae mittere in illum manus illa hora et timuerunt populum cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem istam	And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
[20] et observantes miserunt insidiatores qui se iustos simularent ut caperent eum in sermone et traderent illum principatui et potestati praesidis	And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
[21] et interrogaverunt illum dicentes magister scimus quia recte dicis et doces et non accipis personam sed in veritate viam Dei doces	And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
[22] licet nobis dare tributum Caesari an non	Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
[23] considerans autem dolum illorum dixit ad eos quid me temptatis	But he, considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
[24] ostendite mihi denarium cuius habet imaginem et inscriptionem respondentes dixerunt Caesaris	Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him: Caesar's.
[25] et ait illis reddite ergo quae Caesaris sunt Caesari et quae Dei sunt Deo	And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things, that are Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's.
[26] et non potuerunt verbum eius reprehendere coram plebe et mirati in responso eius tacuerunt	And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
[27] accesserunt autem quidam Sadducaeorum qui negant esse resurrectionem et interrogaverunt eum	And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection: and they asked him,
[28] dicentes magister Moses scripsit nobis si frater alicuius mortuus fuerit habens uxorem et hic sine filiis fuerit ut accipiat eam frater eius uxorem et suscitet semen fratri suo	Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
[29] septem ergo fratres erant et primus accepit uxorem et mortuus est sine filiis	There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died without children.
[30] et sequens accepit illam et ipse mortuus est sine filio	And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless.
[31] et tertius accepit illam similiter et omnes septem et non reliquerunt semen et mortui sunt	And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and they left no children and died.
[32] novissima omnium mortua est et mulier	Last of all the woman died also.
[33] in resurrectione ergo cuius eorum erit uxor siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem	In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
[34] et ait illis Iesus filii saeculi huius nubunt et traduntur ad nuptias	And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry and are given in marriage:
[35] illi autem qui digni habebuntur saeculo illo et resurrectione ex mortuis neque nubunt neque ducunt uxores	But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead shall neither be married nor take wives.
[36] neque enim ultra mori poterunt aequales enim angelis sunt et filii sunt Dei cum sint filii resurrectionis	Neither can they die any more for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
[37] quia vero resurgant mortui et Moses ostendit secus rubum sicut dicit Dominum Deum Abraham et Deum Isaac et Deum Iacob	Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed at the bush, when he called the Lord: The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
[38] Deus autem non est mortuorum sed vivorum omnes enim vivunt ei	For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
[39] respondentes autem quidam scribarum dixerunt magister bene dixisti	And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
[40] et amplius non audebant eum quicquam interrogare	And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
[41] dixit autem ad illos quomodo dicunt Christum Filium David esse	But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
[42] et ipse David dicit in libro Psalmorum dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis	And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
[43] donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum	Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
[44] David ergo Dominum illum vocat et quomodo filius eius est	David then calleth him Lord. And how is he his son?
[45] audiente autem omni populo dixit discipulis suis	And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
[46] adtendite a scribis qui volunt ambulare in stolis et amant salutationes in foro et primas cathedras in synagogis et primos discubitus in conviviis	Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes and love salutations in the market place and the first chairs in the synagogues and the chief rooms at feasts:
[47] qui devorant domos viduarum simulantes longam orationem hii accipient damnationem maiorem	Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
