1 And yt fortuned in one of those dayes as he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospell: the hye prestes and the scribes came with the elders
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
2 and spake vnto him sayinge. Tell vs by what auctorite thou doest these thinges? Ether who is he yt gave ye this auctorite?
And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 He answered and saide vnto the: I also will axe you a questio and answer me.
And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 The baptyme of Iohn: was it from heaven or of men?
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 And they thought with in them selves sayinge: yf we shall saye from heave: he will saye: why then beleved ye him not?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6 But and yf we shall saye of men all ye people will stone vs. For they be persuaded that Ihon is a Prophet.
But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered that they coulde not tell whence it was.
And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 And Iesus sayde vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.
And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9 Then begane he to put forthe to the people this similitude. A certayne man planted a vyneyarde and let it forthe to fermers and went him selfe into a straunge countre for a greate season.
Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
10 And when the tyme was come he sent a servaut to his tennauntes that they shuld geve him of the frutes of the vyneyarde. And the tennauntes dyd bet him and sent him awaye empty.
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 And agayne he sent yet another servaunt. And they dyd bet him and foule entreated him also and sent him awaye emptye.
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Moreover he sent the thyrde to and him they wouded and cast out.
And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 Then sayde the lorde of the vyneyarde: what shall I do? I will sende my deare sonne him peradventure they will reverence when they se him.
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
14 But when the fermers sawe him they thought in them selves sayinge: this is the heyre come let vs kyll him that the inheritaunce maye be oures.
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 And they cast him out of the vyneyarde and kylled him. Now what shall the Lorde of the vyneyarde do vnto them?
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 He will come and destroye those fermers and will let out his vyneyarde to other. When they hearde that they sayde: God forbyd.
He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17 And he behelde them and sayde: what meaneth this then yt is wrytten: The stone that the bylders refused the same is made ye heed corner stone?
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 whosoever stomble at that stone shalbe broken: but on whosoever it faul vpon it wyll grynde him to powder.
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 And the hye Prestes and the Scribes the same howre went about to laye hondes on him but they feared the people. For they perceaved that he had spoken this similitude agaynst them.
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
20 And they watched him and sent forth spies which shuld fayne them selves perfecte to take him in his wordes and to delyvre him vnto the power and auctorite of the debite.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they axed him sayinge: Master we knowe that thou sayest and teachest ryght nother cosiderest thou eny manes degre but teachest the waye of God truly.
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Ys it laufull for vs to geve Cesar tribute or no?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?
23 He perceaved their craftynes and sayde vnto them: why tept ye me?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shewe me a peny. Whose ymage and superscripcio hath it? They answered and sayde: Cesars.
Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.
25 And he sayde vnto them: Geve then vnto Cesar that which belongeth vnto Cesar: and to God that which pertayneth to God.
And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.
26 And they coulde not reprove his sayinge before the people. But they marvayled at his answer and helde their peace.
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Then came to him certayne of the Saduces which denye that ther is eny resurreccio. And they axed him
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28 sayinge: Master Moses wrote vnto vs if eny mannes brother dye havinge a wyfe and the same dye with out yssue: that then his brother shuld take his wyfe and reyse vp seede vnto his brother.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Ther were seven brethren and the fyrste toke a wyfe and dyed with out children.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the seconde toke the wyfe and he dyed chyldlesse.
And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31 And the thyrde toke her and in lyke wyse the resydue of the seven and leeft no chyldren be hynde them and dyed.
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woma dyed also.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 Now at the resurreccio whose wyfe of them shall she be? For seven had her to wyfe.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. The chyldre of this worlde mary wyves and are maryed (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
35 but they which shalbe made worthy to enioye that worlde and the resurreccion from deeth nether mary wyves nether are maryed (aiōn g165)
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 nor yet can dye eny moare. For they are equall vnto the angels: and are the sonnes of God in as moche as they are the chyldre of the resurreccion.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 And that the deed shall ryse agayne even Moses signified besydes the busshe when he sayde: the Lorde God of Adraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth 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 deed but of them which live. For all live in him.
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Then certayne of the Pharises answered and sayde: Master thou hast well sayde.
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 And after that durst they not axe him eny question at all.
And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 Then sayde he vnto them: how saye they that Christ is Davids sonne?
And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
42 And David him selfe sayth in the boke of the Psalmes: The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde syt on my right honde
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 tyll I make thine enemys thy fothe stole.
Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
44 Seinge David calleth him Lorde: How is he then his sonne.
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he sayde vnto his disciples
Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46 beware of the Scribes which desyre to goo in longe clothinge: and love gretynges in the markets and the hyest seates in the synagoges and chefe roumes at feastes
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47 which devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of longe prayinge: the same shall receave greater damnacion.
Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
