Hij begon in gelijkenissen tot hen te spreken: “Een man plantte een wijngaard, zette er een omheining omheen, groef er een wijnpersbak in uit en bouwde er een toren in. Toen gaf hij die wijngaard in beheer aan wijnbouwers en reisde naar het buitenland.
Wat betekent dit?
Jesus begins telling a parable about a man who planted a vineyard, protected it, and then leased it to others while he was away. This story highlights themes of responsibility and stewardship.
Uitgelegd voor kinderen
Imagine you have a garden that grows yummy fruits. You build fences around it for protection and leave it with your friends when you go on vacation. The parable teaches us about taking care of what we're given, just like looking after the plants in your garden.
Historische achtergrond
Mark, one of Jesus' disciples, wrote this account. It was likely written between 65-70 AD for a Gentile audience. In that time, vineyards were important assets and parables were used to convey deeper spiritual lessons through everyday scenarios.
