Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and telling the good tidings, that the High-priests and the Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him, —
And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near.
2 and spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?
3 And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me.
4 The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men?
5 And they deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 But, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence.
And they replied not to know from where.
8 And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 And he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: —A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home for a long time.
And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 And, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty.
And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.
11 And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.
12 And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.
13 And the lord of the vineyard said—What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, —It may be, that, him, they will respect.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man.
14 But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying—This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.
But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.
15 And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
17 But, he, looking at them, said—What, then, is this that is written, —A stone which the builders’ rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?
But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?
18 Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
19 And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.
And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.
And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 And they questioned him, saying—Teacher! we know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,
22 Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?
23 But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me?
24 Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's.
25 And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
26 And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.
27 But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,
28 saying—Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, if any brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
There were therefore seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife, died childless.
30 And, the second,
And the second took the woman, and this man died childless.
31 and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.
32 Later on, the woman also, died.
And last of all the woman also died.
33 The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 But, that the dead do rise, even Moses, disclosed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord—The God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob:
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.
39 And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
And some of the scholars having answered, they said, Teacher, thou said well.
40 For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
For they no longer dared to question him anything.
41 And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
And he said to them, How do they say the Christ is David's son?
42 For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
Even David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
until I will place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
44 David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 Be taking heed of the Scribes—Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
Beware of the scholars, who desire to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
47 Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater damnation.
