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 was don in oon of the daies, whanne he tauyte the puple in the temple, and prechide the gospel, the princis of preestis and scribis camen togidere with the elder men;
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 thei seiden to hym, Seie to vs, in what power thou doist these thingis, or who is he that yaf to thee this power?
3 He answered and saide vnto the: I also will axe you a questio and answer me.
And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, And Y schal axe you o word; answere ye to me.
4 The baptyme of Iohn: was it from heaven or of men?
Was the baptym of Joon of heuene, 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 thei thouyten with ynne hem silf, seiynge, For if we seien, Of heuene, he schal seie, Whi thanne bileuen ye not to hym?
6 But and yf we shall saye of men all ye people will stone vs. For they be persuaded that Ihon is a Prophet.
and if we seien, Of men, al the puple schal stoone vs; for thei ben certeyn, that Joon is a prophete.
7 And they answered that they coulde not tell whence it was.
And thei answeriden, that thei knewen not, of whennus it was.
8 And Iesus sayde vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.
And Jhesus seide to hem, Nether Y seie to you, in what power Y do these thingis.
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 bigan to seie to the puple this parable. A man plauntide a vynyerd, and hiride it to tilieris; and he was in pilgrimage longe tyme.
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 the tyme of gaderynge of grapis, he sente a seruaunt to the tilieris, that thei schulden yyue to hym of the fruyt of the vynyerd; whiche beten hym, and leten hym go voide.
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 thouyte yit to sende another seruaunt; and thei beten this, and turmentiden hym sore, and leten hym go.
12 Moreover he sent the thyrde to and him they wouded and cast out.
And he thouyte yit to sende the thridde, and hym also thei woundiden, and castiden 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 vyneyerd seide, What schal Y do? Y schal sende my dereworthe sone; perauenture, whanne thei seen hym, thei schulen drede.
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.
And whanne the tilieris sayn hym, thei thouyten with ynne hem silf, and seiden, This is the eire, sle we hym, that the eritage be oure.
15 And they cast him out of the vyneyarde and kylled him. Now what shall the Lorde of the vyneyarde do vnto them?
And thei castiden hym out of the vyneyerd, and killiden hym. What schal thanne the lord of the vyneyerd do to hem?
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 schal come, and distruye these tilieris, and yyue the vyneyerd to othere. And whanne this thing was herd, thei seiden to hym, God forbede.
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 bihelde hem, and seide, What thanne is this that is writun, The stoon which men bildynge repreueden, this is maad in to the heed of the corner?
18 whosoever stomble at that stone shalbe broken: but on whosoever it faul vpon it wyll grynde him to powder.
Ech that schal falle on that stoon, schal be to-brisid, but on whom it schal falle, it schal al to-breke 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 princis of prestis, and scribis, souyten to leye on hym hoondis in that our, and thei dredden the puple; for thei knewen that to hem he seide this liknesse.
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 thei aspieden, and senten aspieris, that feyneden hem iust, that thei schulden take hym in word, and bitaak hym to the `power of the prince, and to the power of the iustice.
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 thei axiden hym, and seiden, Maister, we witen, that riytli thou seist and techist; and thou takist not the persoone of man, but thou techist in treuthe the weie of God.
22 Ys it laufull for vs to geve Cesar tribute or no?
Is it leueful to vs to yyue tribute to the emperoure, or nay?
23 He perceaved their craftynes and sayde vnto them: why tept ye me?
And he biheld the disseit of hem, and seide to hem, What tempten ye me?
24 Shewe me a peny. Whose ymage and superscripcio hath it? They answered and sayde: Cesars.
Shewe ye to me a peny; whos ymage and superscripcioun hath it? Thei answerden, and seiden to hym, The emperouris.
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 seide to hem, Yelde ye therfor to the emperoure tho thingis that ben the emperours, and tho thingis that ben of God, to God.
26 And they coulde not reprove his sayinge before the people. But they marvayled at his answer and helde their peace.
And thei myyten not repreue his word bifor the puple; and thei wondriden in his answere, and heelden pees.
27 Then came to him certayne of the Saduces which denye that ther is eny resurreccio. And they axed him
Summe of the Saduceis, that denyeden the ayenrisyng fro deeth to lijf, camen, and axiden hym,
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.
and seiden, Maister, Moises wroot to vs, if the brother of ony man haue a wijf, and be deed, and he was with outen eiris, that his brothir take his wijf, and reise seed to his brother.
29 Ther were seven brethren and the fyrste toke a wyfe and dyed with out children.
And so there weren seuene britheren. The firste took a wijf, and is deed with outen eiris;
30 And the seconde toke the wyfe and he dyed chyldlesse.
and the brothir suynge took hir, and he is deed with outen sone;
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 thridde took hir; also and alle seuene, and leften not seed, but ben deed;
32 Last of all the woma dyed also.
and the laste of alle the womman is deed.
33 Now at the resurreccio whose wyfe of them shall she be? For seven had her to wyfe.
Therfor in the `risyng ayen, whos wijf of hem schal sche be? for seuene hadden hir to wijf.
34 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. The chyldre of this worlde mary wyves and are maryed (aiōn g165)
And Jhesus seide to hem, Sones of this world wedden, and ben youun to weddyngis; (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 thei that schulen be had worthi of that world, and of the `risyng ayen fro deeth, nethir ben wedded, (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.
nethir wedden wyues, nethir schulen mowe die more; for thei ben euen with aungels, and ben the sones of God, sithen thei ben the sones of `risyng ayen fro deeth.
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.
And that deed men risen ayen, also Moises schewide bisidis the busch, as he seith, The Lord God of Abraham, and God of Ysaac, and God of Jacob.
38 For he is not the God of the deed but of them which live. For all live in him.
And God is not of deed men, but of lyuynge men; for alle men lyuen to hym.
39 Then certayne of the Pharises answered and sayde: Master thou hast well sayde.
And summe of scribis answeringe, seiden, Maistir, thou hast wel seid.
40 And after that durst they not axe him eny question at all.
And thei dursten no more axe hym ony thing.
41 Then sayde he vnto them: how saye they that Christ is Davids sonne?
But he seide to hem, How seien men, Crist to be the sone of Dauid,
42 And David him selfe sayth in the boke of the Psalmes: The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde syt on my right honde
and Dauid hym silf seith in the book of Salmes, The Lord seide to my lord, Sitte thou on my riythalf,
43 tyll I make thine enemys thy fothe stole.
til that Y putte thin enemyes a stool of thi feet?
44 Seinge David calleth him Lorde: How is he then his sonne.
Therfor Dauid clepith hym lord, and hou is he his sone?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he sayde vnto his disciples
And in heryng of al the puple, he seide to hise disciplis,
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 ye war of scribis, that wolen wandre in stolis, and louen salutaciouns in chepyng, and the firste chaieris in synagogis, and the firste sittynge placis in feestis;
47 which devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of longe prayinge: the same shall receave greater damnacion.
that deuouren the housis of widewis, and feynen long preiyng; these schulen take the more dampnacioun.
