Luke 20
1 On one of these days, when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple Courts and telling the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law, joined by the elders, confronted him,
And it came to pass on one of the days (of those *k) when is teaching He the people in the temple and evangelising came up the (chief priests *NK+o) and the scribes with the elders
2 and addressing him, said, ‘Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it who has given you this authority?’
and spoke saying to Him: do tell us by what authority these things You do or who is the [one] having given to You authority this?
3 ‘I, too,’ said Jesus in reply, ‘will ask you one question. Give me an answer to it.
Answering now He said to them; Will ask you I myself also I myself also (one *k) thing, and do tell Me:
4 It is about John’s baptism – was it of divine or of human origin?’
The baptism of John from heaven was it or from men?
5 But they began arguing together, ‘If we say “divine,” he will say “Why didn’t you believe him?”
And they reasoned among themselves saying that If we shall say: From heaven, He will say; Because of why (therefore *K) not did you believe in him?
6 But, if we say “human,” the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.’
If however we shall say; From men, the people (all *N+kO) will stone us; persuaded for they are John a prophet to be.
7 So they answered that they did not know its origin.
And they answered not to know from where.
8 ‘Then I,’ said Jesus, ‘refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.’
And Jesus said to them; Neither I myself tell you by what authority these things I am doing.
9 But Jesus began to tell the people this parable – ‘A man once planted a vineyard, and then let it out to tenants, and went abroad for a long while.
He began then to the people to speak parable this: A man (certain *NK) planted a vineyard and rented it to farmers and went abroad a time long.
10 At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they could give him a share of the produce of the vineyard. The tenants, however, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
And (in *k) [in the] season he sent to the farmers a servant that from the fruit of the vineyard (they will give *N+kO) to him; But the farmers sent away him having beaten [him] empty-handed.
11 The owner afterwards sent another servant; but the tenants beat and insulted this man too, and sent him away empty-handed.
And he proceeded another to send a servant; but him him having beaten and having dishonored they sent away empty-handed.
12 He sent a third; but they wounded this man also, and threw him outside.
And he proceeded a third to send; They then also him having wounded they cast out.
13 “What should I do?” said the owner of the vineyard. “I will send my son, who is very dear to me. Perhaps they will respect him.”
Said then the master of the vineyard; What shall I do? I will send the son of mine the beloved; perhaps him (having seen *K) they will respect.
14 But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. “Here is the heir!” they said. “Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.”
Having seen now him the farmers were reasoning among (one another *N+kO) saying; This is the heir; (come *K) let us kill him so that ours may become the inheritance.
15 So they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
And having cast forth him outside the vineyard they killed [him]. What therefore will do to them the master of the vineyard?
16 He will come and put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others.’ ‘Heaven forbid!’ they exclaimed when they heard it.
He will come and he will destroy farmers these and will give the vineyard to others. Having heard [it] then they said; Never would it be!
17 But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘What then is the meaning of this passage? – “The stone which the builders despised has now itself become the cornerstone.”
But having looked at them He said; What then is that written this: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become into [the] head of [the] corner’?
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.’
Everyone falling on that [very] stone will be broken; on whomever but maybe it may fall, it will grind into powder him.
19 After this the teachers of the Law and the chief priest were eager to lay hands on Jesus then and there, but they were afraid of the people; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed this parable.
And sought the scribes and the chief priests to lay on Him hands in that hour and they feared the people; they perceived for that against them He was speaking parable this.
20 Having watched their opportunity, they afterwards sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor’s jurisdiction and authority.
And having watched [Him] they sent spies feigning themselves righteous to be, that they may catch Him in talk, (in order *N+kO) to deliver Him to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 These spies asked Jesus a question. They said, ‘Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a person’s position, but teach the way of God honestly;
And they questioned Him saying; Teacher, we know that rightly You speak and You teach and not You receive [any] person but on the basis of truth the way of God teach.
22 are we right in paying tribute to the Emperor or not?’
Is it lawful (for us *N+kO) to Caesar tribute to give or not?
23 Seeing through their deceitfulness, Jesus said to them,
having perceived however of them the craftiness He said to them (why *KO) (me do you test; *K)
24 ‘Show me a coin. Whose head and title are on it?’
(do show *N+kO) Me a denarius; Of whom has it [the] image and inscription? (Those *N+KO) And they said; Caesar’s.
25 ‘The Emperor’s,’ they said; and Jesus replied, ‘Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.’
And He said (to *no) (them; *N+kO) Therefore do give back the [things] of Caesar to Caesar and the [things] of God to God.
26 They could not object to this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.
And not they were able to catch Him in (His *NK+o) declaration before the people, and having marveled at the answer of Him they became silent.
27 Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –
Having approached then some of the Sadducees, the ones (denying *NK+o) a resurrection not being, they questioned Him
28 ‘Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that – “Should a man’s married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.”
saying; Teacher, Moses wrote to us: if anyone’s brother shall die having a wife and he childless (shall be, *N+KO) that shall take the brother of him the wife and shall raise up seed to the brother of him.
29 Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.
Seven therefore brothers there were; and the first having taken a wife died childless,
30 The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;
and (took *K) the second (wife and this died childless *K)
31 and so, too, did all seven – dying without children.
and the third took her (likewise *o) likewise then also the seven not did leave children and died.
32 The woman herself was the last to die.
Finally (now of all *K) also the woman died.
33 About the woman, then – at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?’
(The woman *no) therefore in the resurrection, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.
And (answering *k) said to them Jesus; The sons of the age this marry and (are given in marriage, *N+kO) (aiōn g165)
35 but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, (aiōn g165)
those however having been considered worthy of the age that [one] to obtain and of the resurrection from [the] dead neither marry nor (are given in marriage; *N+k+o) (aiōn g165)
36 nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God’s children.
(neither *N+kO) for to die any more are they able, like [the] angels for they are, and sons they are of God of the resurrection sons being.
37 As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord – “The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”
for however are raised the dead, even Moses showed at the bush when he names [the] Lord the God of Abraham and (the *k) God of Isaac and (the *k) God of Jacob.’
38 Now he is not God of dead people, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.’
God now not He is of [the] dead but of [the] living; all for to Him live.
39 ‘Well said, teacher!’ exclaimed some of the teachers of the Law,
Answering now some of the scribes said; Teacher, well you have spoken.
40 for they did not venture to question him any further.
no longer no longer (then *N+kO) were they daring to ask Him no [thing].
41 But Jesus said to them, ‘How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
He said then to them; How do they declare the Christ to be David's Son
42 For David, in the book of Psalms, says himself – “The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand,
(and *ko) Himself (for *no) David says in [the] book of Psalms: Said (the *ko) Lord to the Lord of me; do sit at [the] right hand of Me
43 until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
until when I may place the enemies of You [as] a footstool of the feet of You.
44 David, then, calls him “lord,” so how is he David’s son?’
David therefore Lord Him calls, and how of him son is He?
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples,
When are listening now all the people He said to the disciples of Him;
46 ‘Be on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and like to be greeted in the streets with respect, and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.
do beware of the scribes who are desiring to walk in long robes and loving greetings in the marketplaces and first seats in the synagogues and first places in the banquets,
47 These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretence of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.’
who devour the houses of widows and as a pretext at great length pray; These will receive more excessive condemnation.
