Luke 20
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, 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, —
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, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
3 He answered and saide vnto the: I also will axe you a questio and answer me.
And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
4 The baptyme of Iohn: was it from heaven or of men?
The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, 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 deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
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, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
7 And they answered that they coulde not tell whence it was.
And they answered, that they knew not whence.
8 And Iesus sayde vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.
And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
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.
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.
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, 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.
11 And agayne he sent yet another servaunt. And they dyd bet him and foule entreated him also and sent him awaye emptye.
And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
12 Moreover he sent the thyrde to and him they wouded and cast out.
And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust 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.
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.
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 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.
15 And they cast him out of the vyneyarde and kylled him. Now what shall the Lorde of the vyneyarde do vnto them?
And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will 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 will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
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?
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?
18 whosoever stomble at that stone shalbe broken: but on whosoever it faul vpon it wyll grynde him to powder.
Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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:
22 Ys it laufull for vs to geve Cesar tribute or no?
Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
23 He perceaved their craftynes and sayde vnto them: why tept ye me?
But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
24 Shewe me a peny. Whose ymage and superscripcio hath it? They answered and sayde: Cesars.
Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
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—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
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 lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Then came to him certayne of the Saduces which denye that ther is eny resurreccio. And they axed him
But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned 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—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.
29 Ther were seven brethren and the fyrste toke a wyfe and dyed with out children.
Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
30 And the seconde toke the wyfe and he dyed chyldlesse.
And, the second,
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, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
32 Last of all the woma dyed also.
Later on, the woman also, died.
33 Now at the resurreccio whose wyfe of them shall she be? For seven had her to wyfe.
The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the 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 said unto them—The sons of this age, 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 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)
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.
For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
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.
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:
38 For he is not the God of the deed but of them which live. For all live in him.
Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
39 Then certayne of the Pharises answered and sayde: Master thou hast well sayde.
And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
40 And after that durst they not axe him eny question at all.
For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
41 Then sayde he vnto them: how saye they that Christ is Davids sonne?
And he said unto them—How say they, that, the 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
For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 tyll I make thine enemys thy fothe stole.
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
44 Seinge David calleth him Lorde: How is he then his sonne.
David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he sayde vnto his disciples
And, all the people hearing, he said unto the 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
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, —
47 which devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of longe prayinge: the same shall receave greater damnacion.
Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
