1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6
12 In the meantime, when a crowd of so many thousands had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, he started by saying first to his disciples: “Watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.+2 But there is nothing carefully concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing secret that will not become known.+3 Therefore, whatever you say in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you whisper in private rooms will be preached from the housetops.4 Moreover, I say to you, my friends,+ do not fear those who kill the body and after this are not able to do anything more.+5 But I will show you whom to fear: Fear the One who after killing has authority to throw into Ge·hen′na.*+ Yes, I tell you, fear this One.+6 Five sparrows sell for two coins of small value,* do they not? Yet not one of them is forgotten* by God.+7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.+ Have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.+8 “I say to you, everyone who acknowledges me before men,+ the Son of man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.+9 But whoever disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.+10 And everyone who says a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven.+11 When they bring you in before public assemblies,* government officials, and authorities, do not become anxious about how or what you will speak in defense or what you will say,+12 for the holy spirit will teach you in that very hour the things you should say.”+13 Then someone in the crowd said to him: “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”14 He said to him: “Man, who appointed me judge or arbitrator between you two?”15 Then he said to them: “Keep your eyes open and guard against every sort of greed,*+ because even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.”+16 With that he told them an illustration, saying: “The land of a rich man produced well.17 So he began reasoning within himself, ‘What should I do now that I have nowhere to gather my crops?’18 Then he said, ‘I will do this:+ I will tear down my storehouses and build bigger ones, and there I will gather all my grain and all my goods,19 and I will say to myself:* “You* have many good things stored up for many years; take it easy, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.”’20 But God said to him, ‘Unreasonable one, this night they are demanding your life* from you. Who, then, is to have the things you stored up?’+21 So it goes with the man who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”+22 Then he said to his disciples: “That is why I say to you, stop being anxious about your lives* as to what you will eat or about your bodies as to what you will wear.+23 For the life* is worth more than food and the body more than clothing.24 Consider the ravens: They neither sow seed nor reap; they have neither barn nor storehouse; yet God feeds them.+ Are you not worth much more than birds?+25 Who of you by being anxious can add a cubit* to his life span?26 If, therefore, you cannot do such a small thing, why be anxious about the remaining things?+27 Consider how the lilies grow: They neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that not even Sol′o·mon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.+28 Now if this is how God clothes the vegetation in the field that today exists and tomorrow is cast into an oven, how much more will he clothe you, you with little faith!29 So stop seeking what you will eat and what you will drink, and stop being in anxious suspense;+30 for all these are the things the nations of the world are eagerly pursuing, but your Father knows you need these things.+31 Instead, keep seeking his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.+32 “Have no fear, little flock,+ for your Father has approved of giving you the Kingdom.+33 Sell your belongings and give gifts of mercy.*+ Make money pouches that do not wear out, a never-failing treasure in the heavens,+ where no thief gets near and no moth consumes.34 For where your treasure is, there your hearts will be also.35 “Be dressed and ready*+ and have your lamps burning,+36 and you should be like men waiting for their master to return+ from the marriage,+ so when he comes and knocks, they may at once open to him.37 Happy are those slaves whom the master on coming finds watching! Truly I say to you, he will dress* himself for service and have them recline at the table and will come alongside and minister to them.38 And if he comes in the second watch,* even if in the third,* and finds them ready, happy are they!39 But know this, if the householder had known at what hour the thief would come, he would not have let his house be broken into.+40 You also, keep ready, because at an hour that you do not think likely, the Son of man is coming.”+41 Then Peter said: “Lord, are you telling this illustration just to us or also to everyone?”42 And the Lord said: “Who really is the faithful steward,* the discreet one,* whom his master will appoint over his body of attendants* to keep giving them their measure of food supplies at the proper time?+43 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!44 I tell you truthfully, he will appoint him over all his belongings.45 But if ever that slave should say in his heart, ‘My master delays coming,’ and starts to beat the male and female servants and to eat and drink and get drunk,+46 the master of that slave will come on a day that he is not expecting him and at an hour that he does not know, and he will punish him with the greatest severity and assign him a part with the unfaithful ones.47 Then that slave who understood the will of his master but did not get ready or do what he asked* will be beaten with many strokes.+48 But the one who did not understand and yet did things deserving of strokes will be beaten with few. Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded of him, and the one who was put in charge of much will have more than usual demanded of him.+49 “I came to start a fire on the earth, and what more is there for me to wish if it has already been lit?50 Indeed, I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how I am distressed until it is finished!+51 Do you think I came to give peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.+52 For from now on there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three.53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”+54 Then he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say, ‘A storm is coming,’ and it happens.55 And when you see that a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘There will be a heat wave,’ and it occurs.56 Hypocrites, you know how to examine the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to examine this particular time?+57 Why do you not judge also for yourselves what is righteous?58 For example, when you are going with your legal opponent to a ruler, while on the way, get to work to settle the dispute with him so that he may not summon you before the judge, and the judge deliver you to the court officer, and the court officer throw you into prison.+59 I tell you, you will certainly not get out of there until you pay over your last small coin.”*

U međuvremenu se skupilo toliko mnogo naroda, na tisuće ljudi, da su gazili jedni druge. Isus se najprije obratio svojim učenicima: “Čuvajte se kvasca+ farizejskoga, to jest licemjerja.+2 Ništa nije sakriveno što se neće otkriti ni tajno što se neće doznati.+3 Prema tome, ono što kažete u tami čut će se na svjetlu, i što šapćete u najskrovitijim sobama, propovijedat će se s krovova.+4 Prijatelji moji,+ kažem vam, ne bojte se onih koji ubijaju tijelo, a nakon toga ne mogu više ništa učiniti.+5 Reći ću vam koga se treba bojati: bojte se onoga+ koji, nakon što ubije, ima vlast baciti u gehenu.*+ Da, kažem vam, njega se bojte!+6 Ne prodaje li se pet vrabaca za dva novčića?* Ipak ni jedan od njih nije zaboravljen pred Bogom.+7 A vama su i vlasi na glavi+ sve izbrojene. Ne bojte se, vi ste vredniji od mnogo vrabaca!+8 Kažem vam, svatko tko prizna+ zajedništvo sa mnom pred ljudima, i Sin čovječji priznat će zajedništvo s njim pred anđelima Božjim.+9 Ali tko se odrekne+ mene pred ljudima, njega ću se ja odreći pred anđelima Božjim.+10 Svakome tko kaže riječ na Sina čovječjeg bit će oprošteno, ali onome tko pohuli na sveti duh neće biti oprošteno.+11 Kad vas dovedu na saslušanje i pred poglavarstva i vlasti, ne budite zabrinuti kako ćete se ili kojim riječima braniti ili što ćete reći,+12 jer će vas sveti duh+ u tom času poučiti što trebate reći.”+13 Tada mu je jedan čovjek iz mnoštva rekao: “Učitelju, reci bratu mojemu da sa mnom podijeli nasljedstvo!”14 A on mu je rekao: “Čovječe, tko je mene postavio da sudim+ ili dijelim među vama?”15 Zatim im je rekao: “Budite oprezni, čuvajte se svake lakomosti,+ jer čak i kad netko ima obilje, njegov život ne proizlazi iz onoga što posjeduje.”+16 Nato im je ispričao usporedbu: “Nekom bogatom čovjeku dobro je rodila zemlja,17 pa je razmišljao u sebi: ‘Što da učinim? Nemam gdje skupiti ljetinu svoju.’18 I rekao je: ‘Ovako ću učiniti:+ srušit ću žitnice svoje i sagraditi veće, pa ću ondje skupiti sve žito svoje i sva dobra svoja.+19 I reći ću sebi:*+ “Imaš mnoga dobra u zalihi za mnoge godine. Počivaj, jedi, pij i uživaj!”’+20 Ali Bog mu je rekao: ‘Bezumniče, ove noći tražit će se život* tvoj od tebe.+ Tko će onda imati ono što si skupio?’+21 Tako biva onome tko skuplja blago za sebe, a nije bogat pred Bogom.”+22 Tada je rekao učenicima svojim: “Zato vam kažem: ne budite zabrinuti* za život svoj, što ćete jesti, ili za tijelo svoje, što ćete obući.+23 Jer život je vredniji od hrane i tijelo od odjeće.24 Promotrite kako gavrani+ ne siju niti žanju, nemaju spremišta niti žitnica, a ipak ih Bog hrani. A koliko ste vi vredniji od ptica!+25 Tko od vas može zabrinutošću svojom imalo* produžiti životni vijek svoj?+26 Dakle, ako ne možete ni to najmanje, zašto ste onda zabrinuti+ za ostalo?27 Promotrite ljiljane kako rastu!+ Ne muče se niti predu, ali kažem vam, ni Salamun u svoj slavi svojoj nije bio odjeven kao jedan od njih.+28 A ako Bog tako oblači bilje poljsko, koje danas jest, a sutra se u peć baca, koliko li će prije vas, malovjerni!+29 Zato ne tražite što ćete jesti i što ćete piti i ne budite zabrinuti!*+30 Jer svim tim zaokupljeni su neznabošci ovoga svijeta, ali Otac vaš zna da vam je sve to potrebno.+31 Nego, tražite kraljevstvo njegovo, a ovo će vam se dodati!+32 Ne boj se,+ malo stado,+ jer je volja Oca vašega dati vam kraljevstvo.+33 Prodajte+ što imate i novac dajte kao milostinju.+ Načinite sebi kese za novac koje se neće istrošiti, neiscrpno blago na nebesima,+ kamo se lopov ne približava niti moljac nagriza.34 Jer gdje je blago vaše, ondje će biti i srce vaše.+35 Neka vam bokovi budu opasani+ i svjetiljke upaljene.+36 I budite kao oni koji čekaju gospodara svojega+ kad se vraća sa svadbe+ da mu odmah otvore kad stigne i pokuca.+37 Sretni su oni robovi koje gospodar, kad stigne, nađe da bdiju!+ Zaista, kažem vam, on će podviti skute haljine svoje,+ smjestiti ih za stol* te će pristupiti i posluživati ih.+38 I ako stigne u drugoj straži,* ili čak u trećoj, i nađe ih tako, sretni su!+39 Ali ovo znajte, kad bi domaćin znao u koji će čas doći lopov, bdio bi i ne bi dopustio da mu provali u kuću.+40 Tako i vi budite spremni, jer Sin čovječji dolazi u čas kad se ne nadate!”+41 Tada je Petar upitao: “Gospodine, govoriš li ovu usporedbu samo nama ili svima?”42 A Gospodin je odgovorio: “Tko je dakle vjerni i razboriti+ upravitelj+ kojeg će gospodar njegov postaviti nad služinčadi svojom da im daje hranu u pravo vrijeme?+43 Sretan je taj rob ako ga gospodar njegov, kada dođe, nađe da tako radi!+44 Uistinu, kažem vam, postavit će ga nad svom imovinom svojom.+45 No ako bi taj rob rekao u srcu svojemu: ‘Gospodar moj kasni u dolasku’,+ pa bi počeo tući sluge i sluškinje te jesti, piti i opijati se,+46 gospodar tog roba doći će u dan kad ga ne očekuje i u čas koji ne zna+ i najstrože će ga kazniti i odrediti mu mjesto među nevjernima.+47 Tada će onaj rob koji je razumio volju gospodara svojega, ali se nije pripremio niti je učinio po volji njegovoj, dobiti mnogo udaraca.+48 A onaj koji nije razumio,+ pa je učinio nešto što zaslužuje udarce, dobit će ih malo.+ Svakome kome je mnogo dano, od njega će se mnogo tražiti.+ Kome je mnogo povjereno, od njega će se više tražiti.+49 Došao sam zapaliti vatru+ na zemlji, i što da još poželim kad je već zapaljena?50 Jer krštenjem se trebam krstiti i jako sam tjeskoban dok se to ne završi!+51 Mislite li da sam došao donijeti mir na zemlju? Nipošto, kažem vam, nego razdor.+52 Jer će odsada petero u jednoj kući biti razdijeljeno: troje protiv dvoje i dvoje protiv troje.+53 Bit će razdijeljeni: otac protiv sina i sin protiv oca, majka protiv kćeri i kći protiv majke, svekrva protiv snahe i snaha protiv svekrve.”+54 Zatim se obratio mnoštvu: “Kad vidite da se oblak diže nad zapadom, odmah kažete: ‘Bit će oluje.’ I bude tako.+55 A kad vidite da puše južni vjetar, kažete: ‘Bit će vrućine.’ I bude tako.56 Licemjeri, znate tumačiti izgled zemlje i neba. Kako onda ne znate protumačiti ovo vrijeme?+57 Zašto sami ne prosudite što je pravedno?+58 Naprimjer, kad s onim tko te tuži ideš poglavaru, nastoj još na putu riješiti spor s njim, da te ne bi odveo pred suca, sudac te predao stražaru, a stražar te bacio u zatvor.+59 Kažem ti, nećeš izaći odande dok ne isplatiš i posljednji novčić.”*+
