Jesus storyim finis olketa tokpiksa wea showimaot wei bilong olketa bigman hem nogud tumas, so olketa barava feel nogud long hem. Distaem olketa Pharisee mekem nogud plan for trikim hem. Olketa trae for mekem hem talem samting wea no stret mekem olketa savve givim hem go long bigman bilong Rome, so olketa peim samfala disaepol bilong olketa for askem hem samfala kwestin.—Luke 6:7.
Olketa sei long hem: “Teacher, mifala savve iu man for talem and teachim tru samting. Iu no saed witim eniwan bat iu barava teachim wei bilong God. Waswe, hem stret for iumi peim tax long King or nomoa?” (Luke 20:21, 22) Olketa ososo long Jesus, bat hem luksavve olketa laea nomoa. Sapos hem sei, ‘Nomoa, hem no stret for peim disfala tax,’ bae olketa sei hem againstim gavman bilong Rome. Bat sapos hem sei, ‘Ia, hem stret for peim disfala tax,’ olketa pipol hia wea feel nogud finis bikos olketa stap anda long rul bilong Rome, maet againstim hem nao. So wanem nao hem talem?
Jesus sei: “Iufala pipol for laea tumas ia, why nao iufala laek trikim mi? Showim kam long mi datfala selen for peim tax.” Olketa tekem kam long hem wanfala selen hia and hem askem olketa: “Piksa and nem bilong hu nao stap long selen hia?” Olketa sei: “Hem bilong King.” Then Jesus sei: “So givim go bak long King samting wea hem bilong King, and givim go bak long God samting wea hem bilong God.”—Matthew 22:18-21.
Olketa man hia barava sapraes long wanem Jesus talem and olketa go from hem nao. Nomata olketa Pharisee no savve trikim Jesus, nara grup bilong olketa bigman moa kam long hem long datfala sem day. Hem nao olketa Sadducee.
Olketa Sadducee wea sei man no savve laef bak, olketa askem kwestin abaotem datwan and kastom for maritim brata-in-law. Olketa sei long hem: laef bak, hu long sevenfala brata hia nao bae hem hasband bilong datfala woman? From sevenfala evriwan nao maritim hem.”—Matthew 22:24-28.
“Teacher, Moses hem sei: ‘Sapos wanfala man hem dae bat hem no garem eni pikinini, brata bilong hem mas maritim waef bilong hem and tufala mas garem pikinini for brata bilong hem wea dae finis.’ Sevenfala brata nao stap long hia bifor. Firstborn hem marit, then gogo hem dae. From hem no garem eni pikinini, brata bilong hem tekem waef bilong hem nao. Sem samting hem happen long disfala brata and long nara brata moa, gogo sevenfala evriwan maritim hem. Bihaen, datfala woman hem dae tu. So taem evriwan hiaJesus talem toktok from olketa buk bilong Moses wea olketa Sadducee bilivim. Hem sei: “Tingting bilong iufala hem no stret bikos iufala no savve long olketa Holy Raeting and paoa bilong God. Taem olketa man and woman laef bak from dae, olketa bae no marit, bat olketa bae olsem olketa angel long heven. Hao, iufala no read abaotem datfala tree wea fire gohed bonem insaed buk wea Moses raetem? God hem storyim wei wea olketa wea dae finis bae laef bak taem hem sei long Moses: ‘Mi nao God bilong Abraham and God bilong Isaac and God bilong Jacob.’ Tingting bilong iufala hem barava no stret. Hem God bilong olketa wea laef, hem no God bilong olketa wea dae finis.” (Mark 12:24-27; Exodus 3:1-6) Olketa pipol barava sapraes long ansa bilong hem.
Jesus mekem olketa Pharisee and olketa Sadducee stap kwaet, so distaem samfala from tufala sekson hia kam for trae trikim hem moa. Wanfala wea savve gud long law hem sei: “Teacher, wanem law nao hem important winim olketa nara law insaed datfala Law wea God givim long Moses?”—Matthew 22:36.
Jesus sei: “Law wea important winim evri nara law hem olsem, ‘Pipol bilong Israel, herem kam disfala toktok, Jehovah nao God bilong iumi, and wanfala Jehovah nomoa hem stap and iu mas lovem God bilong iu Jehovah long full heart bilong iu, long full soul bilong iu, long full mind bilong iu, and long full strong bilong iu.’ Nara law wea barava important nao hem, ‘Iu mas lovem narawan long sem wei wea iu lovem iuseleva.’ No eni nara law hem important winim tufala law hia.”—Mark 12:29-31.
Taem datfala man wea teachim law herem datwan, hem sei: “Teacher, samting wea iu talem hem tru, ‘God hem wanfala nomoa, and no eni narawan olsem Hem.’ And disfala wei for man lovem hem long full heart and long full mind and long full strong bilong hem, witim wei for hem lovem narawan long sem wei wea hem lovem hemseleva, hem barava moa important winim evri sakrifaes wea olketa bonem and olketa narakaen sakrifaes.” Jesus luksavve man hia ansa long gudfala wei, so hem sei long hem: “Iu klosap for go insaed Kingdom bilong God.”—Mark 12:32-34.
For thrifala day (Nisan 9, 10, and 11) Jesus hem teach long temple. Samfala pipol, olsem datfala man wea teachim law, hapi for lisin long hem. Bat olketa bigman no hapi and “fraet nao for askem hem eni samting moa.”
