Revised Literal Translation

1AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that onG1722 oneG1520 of thoseG1565 daysG3588G2250, as heG846 taughtG1321 the peopleG3588G2992 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 preached the gospelG2097, the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the scribesG3588G1122 came uponG2186 him withG4862 the eldersG4245, 2AndG2532 spakeG3004 untoG4314 himG846, sayingG3004, TellG3004 usG1473, byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 doest thouG4160 these thingsG3778? orG2228 whoG5101 isG1510 he thatG3588 gaveG1325 theeG4771 thisG3778 authorityG3588G1849? 3AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, I willG2065 alsoG2504 askG2065 youG4771 oneG1520 thingG3056; andG2532 answerG3004 meG1473: 4The baptismG3588G908 of JohnG2491, was itG1510 fromG1537 heavenG3772, orG2228 ofG1537 menG444? 5AndG1161 they reasonedG4817 withG4314 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, IfG1437 we shall sayG3004, FromG1537 heavenG3772; he will sayG2046, WhyG5101 thenG3767 believed yeG4100 himG846 notG3756? 6But andG1161 ifG1437 we sayG3004, OfG1537 menG444; allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992 will stoneG2642 usG1473: forG1063 they beG1510 persuaded thatG3982 JohnG2491 wasG1510 a prophetG4396. 7AndG2532 they answeredG611, that they couldG1492 notG3361 tellG1492 whenceG4159 it was. 8AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto themG846, NeitherG3761 tellG3004 IG1473 youG4771 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG3778. 9ThenG1161 began heG756 to speakG3004 toG4314 the peopleG3588G2992 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850; A certainG5100 manG444 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 forthG1554 to husbandmenG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589 for a longG2425 timeG5550. 10AndG2532 atG1722 the seasonG2540 he sentG649 a servantG1401 toG4314 the husbandmenG3588G1092, thatG2443 they should giveG1325 himG846 ofG575 the fruitG3588G2590 of the vineyardG3588G290: butG1161 the husbandmenG1092 beatG1194 himG846, and sentG1821 him awayG1821 emptyG2756. 11AndG2532 againG4369 he sentG3992 anotherG2087 servantG1401: andG1161 they beatG1194 him alsoG2548, andG2532 entreatedG818 him shamefullyG818, and sentG1821 him awayG1821 emptyG2756. 12AndG2532 againG4369 he sentG3992 a thirdG5154: andG1161 they woundedG5135 himG3778 alsoG2532, and castG1544 him outG1544. 13ThenG1161 saidG3004 the lordG3588G2962 of the vineyardG3588G290, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? I will sendG3992 myG1473 belovedG27 sonG3588G5207: it may beG2481 they will reverenceG1788 him when they seeG3708 himG3778. 14ButG1161 when the husbandmenG3588G1092 sawG3708 himG846, they reasonedG1260 amongG4314 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 isG1510 the heirG3588G2818: comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, thatG2443 the inheritanceG3588G2817 may beG1096 oursG1473. 15SoG2532 they castG1544 himG846 out ofG1854 the vineyardG3588G290, and killedG615 him. WhatG5101 thereforeG3767 shallG4160 the lordG3588G2962 of the vineyardG3588G290 doG4160 unto themG846? 16He shall comeG2064 andG2532 destroyG622 theseG3778 husbandmenG3588G1092, andG2532 shall giveG1325 the vineyardG3588G290 to othersG243. And whenG1161 they heardG191 it, they saidG3004, God forbidG3361G1096. 17AndG1161 he beheldG3588G1689 themG846, and saidG3004, WhatG5101 isG1510 thisG3588 thenG3767 that is writtenG1125, TheG3778 stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3588G3618 rejectedG593, the sameG3778 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137? 18WhosoeverG3956 shall fallG4098 uponG1909 thatG1565 stoneG3588G3037 shall be brokenG4917; butG1161 onG1909 whomsoeverG3739 it shall fallG4098, it will grindG3039 himG846 to powderG3039.

19AndG2532 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the scribesG3588G1122 the sameG846 hourG3588G5610 soughtG2212 to layG1911 handsG3588G5495 onG1909 himG846; andG2532 they fearedG5399 the peopleG3588G2992: forG1063 they perceivedG1097 thatG3754 he had spokenG3004 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850 againstG4314 themG846. 20AndG2532 they watchedG3906 him, and sent forthG649 spiesG1455, which should feignG5271 themselvesG1438 just menG1342, thatG2443 they might take holdG1949 of hisG846 wordsG3056, that soG2443 they might deliverG3860 himG846 untoG1519 the powerG3588G746 andG2532 authorityG3588G1849 of the governorG3588G2232. 21AndG2532 they askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, MasterG1320, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou sayestG3004 andG2532 teachestG1321 rightlyG3723, neitherG3756 acceptest thouG2983 the personG4383 of any, butG235 teachestG1321 the wayG3588G3598 of GodG3588G2316 trulyG225: 22Is it lawfulG1832 for usG1473 to giveG1325 tributeG5411 unto CæsarG2541, orG2228 noG3756? 23ButG1161 he perceivedG2657 theirG846 craftinessG3588G3834, and saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, WhyG5101 tempt yeG3985 meG1473? 24ShewG1925 meG1473 a pennyG1220. WhoseG5101 imageG1504 andG2532 superscriptionG1923 hath itG2192? They answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004, Cæsar’sG2541. 25AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto themG846, RenderG591 thereforeG5106 unto CæsarG2541 the thingsG3588 which be Cæsar’sG2541, andG2532 unto GodG3588G2316 the thingsG3588 which be God’sG3588G2316. 26AndG2532 they couldG2480 notG3756 take hold ofG1949 hisG846 wordsG4487 beforeG1726 the peopleG3588G2992: andG2532 they marvelledG2296 atG1909 hisG846 answerG3588G612, and held their peaceG4601.

27ThenG1161 came toG4334 him certainG5100 of the SadduceesG3588G4523, whichG3588 deny thatG483 there isG1510 any resurrectionG386; and they askedG1905 himG846, 28SayingG3004, MasterG1320, MosesG3475 wroteG1125 unto usG1473, IfG1437 any man’sG5100 brotherG80 dieG599, havingG2192 a wifeG1135, andG2532 heG3778 dieG599 without childrenG815, thatG2443 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 should takeG2983 his wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 raise upG1817 seedG4690 unto hisG846 brotherG3588G80. 29There wereG1510 thereforeG3767 sevenG2033 brethrenG80: andG2532 the firstG4413 tookG2983 a wifeG1135, and diedG599 without childrenG815. 30AndG2532 the secondG1208 tookG2983 her to wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 heG3778 diedG599 childlessG815. 31AndG2532 the thirdG3588G5154 tookG2983 herG846; andG1161 in like mannerG5615 the sevenG3588G2033 alsoG2532: andG2532 they leftG2641 noG3756 childrenG5043, andG2532 diedG599. 32LastG5305 of allG3956 the womanG3588G1135 diedG599 alsoG2532. 33ThereforeG3767 inG1722 the resurrectionG386 whoseG5101 wifeG1135 of themG846 is sheG1096? forG1063 sevenG2033 hadG2192 herG846 to wifeG1135. 34AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 unto themG846, The childrenG3588G5207 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165 marryG1060, andG2532 are given in marriageG1548: 35ButG1161 they whichG3588 shall be accounted worthyG2661 to obtainG5177 thatG1565 worldG3588G165, andG2532 the resurrectionG3588G386 fromG1537 the deadG3498, neitherG3777 marryG1060, norG3777 are given in marriageG1548: 36NeitherG3777 canG1410 they dieG599 any moreG2089: forG1063 they areG1510 equal unto the angelsG2465; andG2532 areG1510 the childrenG5207 of GodG3588G2316, beingG1510 the childrenG5207 of the resurrectionG3588G386. 37NowG1161 thatG3754 the deadG3498 are raisedG1453, evenG2532 MosesG3475 shewedG3377 atG1909 the bushG942, whenG5613 he callethG3004 the LordG2962 the GodG3588G2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of JacobG2384. 38ForG1161 he isG1510 notG3756 a GodG2316 of the deadG3498, butG235 of the livingG2198: forG1063 allG3956 liveG2198 unto himG846.

39ThenG1161 certainG5100 of the scribesG3588G1122 answeringG611 saidG3004, MasterG1320, thou hastG3004 wellG2573 saidG3004. 40And after thatG1161 they durstG5111 notG3765 askG1905 himG846 anyG3762 question at all. 41AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, HowG4459 say theyG3004 that ChristG3588G5547 isG1510 David’sG1138 sonG5207? 42AndG2532 DavidG1138 himselfG846 saithG3004 inG1722 the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, The LordG3588G2962 saidG3004 unto myG1473 LordG3588G2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, 43TillG2193 I makeG5087 thineG4771 enemiesG2190 thyG4771 footstoolG5286. 44DavidG1138 thereforeG3767 callethG2564 himG846 LordG2962, howG4459 is heG1510 thenG2532 hisG846 sonG5207?

45ThenG1161 in the audienceG191 of allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992 he saidG3004 unto hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, 46BewareG4337 ofG575 the scribesG3588G1122, whichG3588 desireG2309 to walkG4043 inG1722 long robesG4749, andG2532 loveG5368 greetingsG783 inG1722 the marketsG3588G58, andG2532 the highest seatsG4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864, andG2532 the chief roomsG4411 atG1722 feastsG3588G1173; 47WhichG3739 devourG2719 widows’G3588G5503 housesG3588G3614, andG2532 for a shewG4392 makeG4336 longG3117 prayersG4336: the sameG3778 shall receiveG2983 greaterG4053 damnationG2917.
