Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon [him], with the elders,
And it came to pass, on one of those days, He teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the priests, and scribes, along with the elders stood up against Him;
2 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
and they spoke to Him, saying, Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is the one having given you this authority?
3 And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
And responding He said to them, I will ask you one word; and you tell me:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
And they reason among themselves saying, If we may say it is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on him?
6 But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
And if we may say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].
And they responded, We do not know whence it is.
8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
9 Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
And He began to speak to the people this parable, A man planted a vineyard and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away a long time.
10 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.
And in season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard, and the husbandmen beating him, sent him away empty.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
And he proceeded to send to them another servant, and they beating and dishonoring him sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out.
And he proceeded to send a third: and wounding him, they cast him out also.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my own beloved son: perchance seeing, they will reverence him.
14 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.
And the husbandmen, seeing him, reasoned among themselves saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, in order that the inheritance may be ours.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
And casting him out from the vineyard they slew him; what then will the lord of the vineyard do?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, may that never be.
He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And hearing, they said, Let it not be so.
17 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?
And looking upon them, He said, What is that which has been written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner.
18 Whoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Every one having fallen on that stone will be dashed to pieces; and on whomsoever it may fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 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.
And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands on Him at this hour, and feared the people; for they knew that He spoke this parable against them.
20 And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
And laying in wait for Him, they sent sharpers, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might catch his word, in order to turn Him over to the government and authority of the proconsul.
21 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:
They asked Him saying, Teacher, we know that thou dost speak and teach correctly; and thou dost not receive the face; but thou dost teach the way of God in truth:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
is it lawful for us give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
And He knowing their rascality, said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's.
Show me the denarion. Whose image and superscription has it? And they responding said, Caesar's.
25 And he said to them, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
And He said to them, Therefore render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
And they were not able to criticise His word before the people: and being astonished at His answer, they were silent.
27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
And certain ones of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, coming forward asked Him,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if the brother of any one may die having a wife, and the same may die childless, that his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
Then there were seven brothers; and the first receiving a wife died childless.
30 And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
And the second
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.
and the third received her, and likewise also the seven; they left no children and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
Last of all the woman also died.
33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
Therefore in the resurrection of which one of them is she the wife? for the seven had her a wife.
34 And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
And responding Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
but those counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection, which is from the dead, (aiōn g165)
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they are not able yet to die; for they are like the angels, and sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
But that the dead are raised, Moses also mentioned at the Bush, when he says; The Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live unto Him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.
And certain of the scribes responding said; Teacher, you spoke beautifully.
40 And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.
And they no longer dared to ask Him anything.
41 And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
And He said to them; How do they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
And David himself says in the Book of the Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
Therefore David calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?
45 Then in the audience of all the people, he said to his disciples,
And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
46 Beware of the scribes, who 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;
Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving salutations in the forums, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers,
47 Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Who devour the houses of the widows, and pray long through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.
