2 and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?
And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men?
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6 but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, they did not know whence.
And they answered, that they could not tell where it was from.
8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country for a long time.
Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.
10 And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent [him] away empty.
And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 And again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [him].
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; [come, ] let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.
But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!
He shall come and destroy these vinedressers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, may that never be.
17 But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Whoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of them.
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
20 And having watched [him], they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in [his] language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no [man's] person, but teachest with truth the way of God:
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

23 But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.
Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s.
25 And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and to God the things which are God’s.

28 demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man’s brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;
There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 and the second [took the woman, and he died childless];
And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
31 and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 and last of all the woman also died.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her for a wife.
And Jesus answering said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
35 but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [the] dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in [the section of] the bush, when he called [the] Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 but he is not God of [the] dead but of [the] living; for all live for him.
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken.
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

And after that they dared not ask him any question at all.
41 And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,
And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
42 and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?

Then in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46 Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
Who devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater condemnation.
