Luke 20

1And it cameG1096 to passG1096 on oneG1520 of the daysG2250, as he was teachingG1321 the peopleG2992 in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 with the eldersG4245 cameG1096 up, 2and spokeG3004 to him sayingG3004, TellG3004 us by what authorityG1849 thou doest these thingsG3778, or who isG1510 it who has givenG1325 thee this authorityG1849? 3And he answeringG611 saidG3004 to them, I alsoG2532 will askG2065 you [one] thing, and tellG3004 me: 4The baptismG908 of JohnG2491, wasG1510 it of heavenG3772 or of menG444? 5And they reasoned among themselves, sayingG3004, If we should sayG3004, Of heavenG3772, he will sayG3004, WhyG5101 have ye not believedG4100 him? 6but if we should sayG3004, Of menG444, the whole peopleG2992 will stone us, for they areG1510 persuadedG3982 that JohnG2491 wasG1510 a prophetG4396. 7And they answeredG611, they did not know whence. 8And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, Neither do I tellG3004 you by what authorityG1849 I do these thingsG3778. 9And he beganG757 to speakG3004 to the peopleG2992 this parableG3850: A manG444 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290 and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country for a long timeG5550. 10And in the seasonG2540 he sentG649 to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might giveG1325 to him of the fruitG2590 of the vineyardG290; but the husbandmen, having beatenG1194 him, sentG649 [him] awayG1821 emptyG2756. 11And again he sentG3992 another bondman; but they, having beatenG1194 him alsoG2532, and cast insult upon him, sentG3992 [him] awayG1821 emptyG2756. 12And again he sentG3992 a thirdG5154; and they, having woundedG5135 him alsoG2532, castG1544 [him] out. 13And the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 saidG3004, What shall I do? I will sendG3992 my belovedG27 sonG5207: perhaps when they see him they will respectG1788 [him]. 14But when the husbandmen sawG3708 him, they reasonedG1260 among themselves, sayingG3004, This isG1510 the heirG2818; [comeG1096,] let us killG615 him, that the inheritanceG2817 may becomeG1096 ours. 15And having castG1544 him forth out of the vineyardG290, they killedG615 [him]. What thereforeG3767 shall the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 do to them? 16He will comeG2064 and destroyG622 those husbandmen, and will giveG1325 the vineyardG290 to othersG243. And when they heardG191 it they saidG3004, May it neverG3361 be! 17But he lookingG1689 at them saidG3004, What thenG3767 isG1510 this that isG1510 writtenG1125, The stoneG3037 which they that builded rejectedG593, this has becomeG1096 the corner-stone? 18Every oneG3739 fallingG4098 on this stoneG3037 shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fallG4098, it shall grind him to powder. 19And the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 soughtG2212 the sameG846 hourG5610 to lay handsG5495 on him, and they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992; for they knewG1097 that he had spoken this parableG3850 of them. 20And having watchedG3906 [him], they sentG649 out suborned persons, pretending to beG1510 justG1342 menG1342, that they might take holdG1949 of him in [his] language, soG2443 that they might deliverG3860 him up to the powerG1849 and authorityG1849 of the governorG2232. 21And they askedG1905 him sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightlyG3723, and acceptest no [man's] person, but teachest with truthG225 the wayG3598 of 1GodG2316: 22Is it lawfulG1832 for us to giveG1325 tribute to CaesarG2541, or not? 23But perceiving their deceit he saidG3004 to them, Why do ye tempt me? 24Shew me a denariusG1220. Whose imageG1504 and superscription has it? And answeringG611 they saidG3004, Caesar's. 25And he saidG3004 to them, PayG591 thereforeG5106 what is Caesar's to CaesarG2541, and what is 2God's to 3GodG2316. 26And they were not ableG2480 to take holdG1949 of him in [his] expressions before the peopleG2992, and, wonderingG2296 at his answerG612, they were silentG4601. 27And some of the SadduceesG4523, who deny that there isG1510 any resurrectionG386, comingG4334 up [to him], 28demanded of him sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, MosesG3475 wroteG1125 to us, If any one's brotherG80, who has a wifeG1135, dieG599, and he dieG599 childlessG815, his brotherG80 shall takeG2983 the wifeG1135 and raiseG1817 up seedG4690 to his brotherG80. 29There wereG1510 then sevenG2033 brethren: and the firstG4413, having takenG2983 a wifeG1135, diedG599 childlessG815; 30and the secondG1208 [took the woman, and he died childless]; 31and the thirdG5154 tookG2983 her: and in like manner alsoG2532 the sevenG2033 leftG2641 no childrenG5043 and diedG599; 32and last of all the womanG1135 alsoG2532 diedG599. 33In the resurrectionG386 thereforeG3767 of which of them does she becomeG1096 wifeG1135, for the sevenG2033 had her as wifeG1135? 34And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, The sonsG5207 of this world marryG1060 and are given in marriage, 35but they who are counted worthyG2661 to have part in that world, and the resurrectionG386 from among [the] deadG3498, neither marryG1060 nor are given in marriage; 36for neither can they dieG599 any moreG2089, for they areG1510 equal to angels, and areG1510 sonsG5207 of 4GodG2316, beingG1510 sonsG5207 of the resurrectionG386. 37But that the deadG3498 riseG1453, evenG2532 MosesG3475 shewed in [the section of] the bushG942, whenG5613 he called [the] LordG2962 the 5GodG2316 of AbrahamG11 and the 6GodG2316 of IsaacG2464 and the 7GodG2316 of JacobG2384; 38but he isG1510 not 8GodG2316 of [the] deadG3498 but of [the] livingG2198; for all liveG2198 for him. 39And some of the scribesG1122 answeringG611 saidG3004, TeacherG1320, thou hast wellG2573 spoken. 40For they did not dareG5111 any more to askG1905 him anything. 41And he saidG3004 to them, HowG4459 do they sayG3004 that the ChristG5547 isG1510 David's sonG5207, 42and DavidG1138 himself saysG3004 in the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, The LordG2962 saidG3004 to my LordG2962, SitG2521 at my rightG1188 handG1188 43until I putG5087 thine enemiesG2190 [as] footstoolG5286 of thy feetG4228? 44DavidG1138 thereforeG3767 callsG2564 him LordG2962, and howG4459 isG1510 he his sonG5207? 45And, as all the peopleG2992 were listeningG191, he saidG3004 to his disciplesG3101, 46BewareG4337 of the scribesG1122, who like to walkG4043 about in long robesG4749, and who loveG5368 salutations in the market-places, and first seatsG4410 in the synagoguesG4864, and first places at suppers; 47who devourG2719 the housesG3614 of widowsG5503, and as a pretextG4392 make long prayers. These shall receiveG2983 a severer judgmentG2917.
