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, as He is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came on [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 spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority You do these things? Or who is he that gave to You this authority?”
3 And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
And He answering said to them, “I will question you—I also—one thing, and tell Me:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
the immersion of John, was it 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 reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we may say, From Heaven, He will say, Why, then, did you not believe 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 having been persuaded John to be a prophet.”
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].
And they answered that they did not know from where [it was],
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 say to you by what authority I do 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 allegory: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad for 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 at the season he sent a servant to the farmers, that they may give to him from the fruit of the vineyard, but the farmers having beat 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 added to send another servant, and they also having beaten and dishonored that one, sent [him] away empty;
12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out.
and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they cast out.
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 owner of the vineyard said, What will I do? I will send my son, the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will respect [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 having seen him, the farmers reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become 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 having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
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 these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” And having heard, they said, “Let it not be!”
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 He, having looked on them, said, “What, then, is this that has been written: A stone that the builders rejected—this became head of a corner?
18 Whoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Everyone who has fallen on that stone will be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.”
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 the scribes sought to lay hands on Him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that He spoke this allegory 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 having watched [Him], they sent forth ones lying in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of His word, to deliver Him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,
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:
and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we have known that You say and teach correctly, and do not receive a person, but in truth teach the way of God.
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
And He, having perceived their craftiness, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me?
24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's.
Show Me a denarius; of whom does it have an image and inscription?” And they answering said, “Of Caesar”:
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, “Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”;
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 take hold on His saying before the people, and having wondered 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 of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a resurrection, having come near, questioned 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 if anyone’s brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless—that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
30 And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.
and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven—they left no children, and they died;
32 Last of all the woman died also.
and last of all the woman also died:
33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
in the resurrection, then, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.”
34 And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answering 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 accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrection that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; (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.
for neither are they able to die anymore—for they are like messengers—and they are 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.
And that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush, since he calls 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.
and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.”
39 Then certain of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.
And certain of the scribes answering said, “Teacher, You said well”;
40 And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.
and they no longer dared question 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 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] Scroll of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand,
43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
Until I will make Your enemies Your footstool;
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
David, then, 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;
“Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are cherishing salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
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 make long prayers for a pretense, these will receive more abundant judgment.”
