Luke 20
1 And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders,
And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,
2 And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?
and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?
3 And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:
And he answering said to them, I also will ask you [one] thing, and tell me:
4 The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?
The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men?
5 And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?
6 But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.
but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
And they answered, they did not know whence.
8 Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.
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.
10 And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie.
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.
11 Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie.
And again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.
12 Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.
And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out.
13 Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.
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].
14 But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
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.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?
And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.
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!
17 And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?
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?
18 Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.
Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
19 Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.
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.
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.
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.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely.
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:
22 Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?
But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me?
24 Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.
Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.
25 Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.
And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
26 And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.
And they were not able to take hold of him in [his] expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.
27 Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up [to him],
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
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.
29 Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.
There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;
30 And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.
and the second [took the woman, and he died childless];
31 Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.
and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;
32 And last of all the woman dyed also.
and last of all the woman also died.
33 Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.
In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?
34 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married. (aiōn g165)
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)
36 For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.
for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.
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;
38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.
but he is not God of [the] dead but of [the] living; for all live for him.
39 Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.
And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken.
40 And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.
For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.
41 Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?
And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,
42 And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand
43 Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.
until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
44 Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,
And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the highest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes:
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;
47 Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
