Swedish (New Living Bible) (NLB) 2004 (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Sedan började Jesus tala till folket genom att berätta bilder. Han sa: "En man planterade en vingård. Han byggde en mur runt omkring den och grävde en grop där han kunde pressa druvorna. Han byggde också ett vakttorn. Sedan arrenderade han ut vingården till några lantbrukare medan han själv reste bort.
What Does This Mean?
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.
Explained for Children
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.
Historical Background
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.
Living It Out Today
In today’s context, think about how we manage our responsibilities at work or in our community. Just like the man who trusted his workers with the vineyard, God entrusts us with resources and tasks that require our care and attention.
