< 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,
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲁⲩⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
2 and addressing him, said, “Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it who has given you this authority?”
ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲁϣ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ.
3 “I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question. Give me an answer to it.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϣⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲱ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁϫⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲓ.
4 It is about John’s baptism – was it of divine or of human origin?”
ⲇ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ.
5 But they began arguing together, “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
ⲉ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
6 But, if we say ‘human,’ the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲁϥϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ.
7 So they answered that they did not know its origin.

8 “Then I,” said Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”

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.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲉ ⲩⲟⲛ ⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϭⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲓⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲁ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲓⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϯⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϥϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ.
11 The owner afterward sent another servant; but the tenants beat and insulted this man too, and sent him away empty-handed.

12 He sent a third; but they wounded this man also, and threw him outside.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲫⲱⲗϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲭⲉⲧ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
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.’
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⳪ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲁⲓϥ ϯⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲓⲡⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲉϥϩⲏ.
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.’
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲟⲩⲓⲏ ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲁⲙⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ.
15 So they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϩⲓⲧϥ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ ⲁⲩϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϥⲛⲁⲁⲓϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ.
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.

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.’
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲟϣϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲕⲱⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩϫⲱϫ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲕϩ.

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.

20 Having watched their opportunity, they afterward 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.

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;

27 Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –

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.’

30 The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;

31 and so, too, did all seven – dying without children.

33 About the woman, then – at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”

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)

36 nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God’s children.

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.’
