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 the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
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 spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
4 The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
The baptism 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 shall 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 shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence.
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].
8 And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I 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 unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long 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 unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and 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 sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
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; it may be they will reverence him.
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 husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto 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 husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
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 he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made 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 one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as 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 scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake 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 they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as 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 asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:
22 Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
23 But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
24 Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar’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 unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.
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 not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;
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.
and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
30 And, the second,
and the second:
31 and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
32 Later on, the woman also, died.
Afterward 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 shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world 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 they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, 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 equal unto the angels; 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, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth 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 the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
40 For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
For they durst not any more ask him any question.
41 And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
And he said unto them, How say they that 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,
For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
And in the hearing of all the people he said unto 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 scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at 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 for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
