1And[G2532] it came to pass[G1096], that on[G1722]one[G3391] of those[G1565]days[G2250], as he[G846]taught[G1321] the people[G2992]in[G1722] the temple[G2411], and[G2532] preached the gospel[G2097], the chief priests[G749]and[G2532] the scribes[G1122] came upon[G2186] him with[G4862] the elders[G4245],
2And[G2532]spake[G2036]unto[G4314]him[G846], saying[G3004], Tell[G2036]us[G2254], by[G1722]what[G4169]authority[G1849] doest thou[G4160] these things?[G5023]or[G2228]who[G5101] is he[G2076] that gave[G1325]thee[G4671]this[G5026]authority?[G1849]
3And[G1161] he answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036]unto[G4314]them[G846], I[G2504]will[G2065]also[G2504]ask[G2065]you[G5209]one[G1520]thing[G3056]; and[G2532]answer[G2036]me[G3427]:
4
The baptism[G908]of[G1537]John[G2491], was it[G2258]from[G1537]heaven[G3772], or[G2228]of[G1537]men?[G444]
5And[G1161] they reasoned[G4817]with[G4314]themselves[G1438], saying[G3004], If[G1437] we shall say[G2036], From[G1537]heaven[G3772]; he will say[G2046], Why[G1302]then[G3767] believed ye[G4100]him[G846]not?[G3756]
6
But and[G1161]if[G1437] we say[G2036], Of[G1537]men[G444]; all[G3956] the people[G2992] will stone[G2642]us[G2248]: for[G1063] they be[G2076]persuaded[G3982] that John[G2491]was[G1511] a prophet[G4396].
7And[G2532] they answered[G611], that they could[G1492]not[G3361]tell[G1492]whence[G4159] it was.
8And[G2532]Jesus[G2424]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Neither[G3761]tell[G3004]I[G1473]you[G5213]by[G1722]what[G4169]authority[G1849]I[G1473]do[G4160] these things[G5023].
9Then[G1161] began he[G756]to[G4314]speak[G3004]to[G4314] the people[G2992]this[G5026]parable[G3850]; A certain[G5100]man[G444]planted[G5452] a vineyard[G290], and[G2532]let[G1554]it[G846]forth[G1554]to[G4314]husbandmen[G1092], and[G2532] went into a far country[G589] for a long[G2425]time[G5550].
10And[G2532]at[G1722] the season[G2540] he sent[G649] a servant[G1401]to[G4314] the husbandmen[G1092], that[G2443] they should give[G1325]him[G846]of[G575] the fruit[G2590]of[G575] the vineyard[G290]: but[G1161] the husbandmen[G1092]beat[G1194]him[G846], and[G2532]sent[G649]him[G846]away[G1821]empty[G2756].
11And[G2532]again[G4369] he sent[G3992]another[G2087]servant[G1401]: and[G1161] they beat[G1194] him also[G2548], and[G1161] entreated him shamefully[G818], and[G1161]sent[G3992] him away[G1821]empty[G2756].
12And[G2532]again[G4369] he sent[G3992] a third[G5154]: and[G1161] they wounded[G5135]him[G5126]also[G2532], and[G1161] cast him[G5126]out[G1544].
13Then[G1161]said[G2036] the lord[G2962] of the vineyard[G290], What[G5101] shall I do?[G4160] I will send[G3992]my[G3450]beloved[G27]son[G5207]: it may be[G2481] they will reverence[G1788]him[G5126] when they see[G1492]him[G5126].
14But[G1161] when the husbandmen[G1092]saw[G1492]him[G846], they reasoned[G1260]among[G4314]themselves[G1438], saying[G3004], This[G3778]is[G2076] the heir[G2818]: come[G1205], let us kill[G615]him[G846], that[G2443] the inheritance[G2817] may be[G1096]ours[G2257].
15So[G2532] they cast[G1544]him[G846] out of[G1854] the vineyard[G290], and killed[G615]him[G846]. What[G5101]therefore[G3767]shall[G4160] the lord[G2962]of[G1854] the vineyard[G290]do[G4160] unto them?[G846]
16
He shall come[G2064]and[G2532]destroy[G622]these[G5128]husbandmen[G1092], and[G1161] shall give[G1325] the vineyard[G290] to others[G243]. And[G1161] when they heard[G191] it, they said[G2036], God forbid[G3361].
17And[G1161] he beheld[G1689]them[G846], and[G1161]said[G2036], What[G5101]is[G2076]this[G5124]then[G3767] that is[G2076]written[G1125], The stone[G3037]which[G3739] the builders[G3618]rejected[G593], the same[G3778]is[G2076]become[G1096] the head[G2776]of[G1519] the corner?[G1137]
18Whosoever[G3956] shall fall[G4098]upon[G1909]that[G1565]stone[G3037] shall be broken[G4917]; but[G1161]on[G1909]whomsoever[G3739] it shall fall[G4098], it will grind[G3039]him[G846] to powder[G3039].
19And[G2532] the chief priests[G749]and[G2532] the scribes[G1122] the same[G1722]hour[G5610]sought[G2212] to lay[G1911]hands[G5495]on[G1909]him[G846]; and[G2532] they feared[G5399] the people[G2992]: for[G1063] they perceived[G1097]that[G3754] he had spoken[G2036]this[G5026]parable[G3850]against[G4314]them[G846].
20And[G2532] they watched[G3906]him[G846], and[G2532] sent forth[G649]spies[G1455], which should feign[G5271]themselves[G1438] just men[G1342], that[G2443] they might take hold[G1949] of his[G846]words[G3056], that[G2443]so[G1519] they might deliver[G3860]him[G846] unto the power[G746]and[G2532]authority[G1849] of the governor[G2232].
21And[G2532] they asked[G1905]him[G846], saying[G3004], Master[G1320], we know[G1492]that[G3754]thou[G2983]sayest[G3004]and[G2532]teachest[G1321]rightly[G3723], neither[G3756] acceptest thou[G2983] the person[G4383] of any, but[G235]teachest[G1321] the way[G3598] of God[G2316]truly[G225]:
22
Is it lawful[G1832] for us[G2254] to give[G1325]tribute[G5411] unto Caesar[G2541], or[G2228]no?[G3756]
23But[G1161] he perceived[G2657]their[G846]craftiness[G3834], and said[G2036]unto[G4314]them[G846], Why[G5101] tempt ye[G3985]me?[G3165]
24Shew[G1925]me[G3427] a penny[G1220]. Whose[G5101]image[G1504]and[G2532]superscription[G1923] hath it?[G2192] They answered[G611]and[G1161]said[G2036], Caesar's.
25And[G1161] he said[G2036] unto them[G846], Render[G591]therefore[G5106] unto Caesar[G2541] the things which be[G3588]Caesar[G2541]'s, and[G2532] unto God[G2316] the things which be[G3588]God[G2316]'s.
26And[G2532] they could[G2480]not[G3756] take hold[G1949] of his[G846]words[G4487]before[G1726] the people[G2992]: and[G2532] they marvelled[G2296]at[G1909]his[G846]answer[G612], and[G2532] held their peace[G4601].
27Then[G1161]came[G4334] to him[G846]certain[G5100] of the Sadducees[G4523], which[G3588]deny[G483] that there is[G1511]any[G3361]resurrection[G386]; and they asked[G1905]him[G846],
28Saying[G3004], Master[G1320], Moses[G3475]wrote[G1125] unto us[G2254], If[G1437] any man's brother[G80]die[G599], having[G2192] a wife[G1135], and[G2532]he[G3778]die[G599] without children[G815], that[G2443]his[G846]brother[G80] should take[G2983]his[G846]wife[G1135], and[G2532] raise up[G1817]seed[G4690] unto his[G846]brother[G80].
29
There were[G2258]therefore[G3767]seven[G2033]brethren[G80]: and[G2532] the first[G4413]took[G2983] a wife[G1135], and[G2532]died[G599] without children[G815].
30And[G2532] the second[G1208]took[G2983] her to wife[G1135], and[G2532]he[G3778]died[G599]childless[G815].
31And[G2532] the third[G5154]took[G2983]her[G846]; and[G1161] in like manner[G5615] the seven[G2033]also[G2532]: and[G1161] they left[G2641]no[G3756]children[G5043], and[G1161]died[G599].
32Last[G5305] of all[G3956] the woman[G1135]died[G599]also[G2532].
33Therefore[G3767]in[G1722] the resurrection[G386]whose[G5101]wife[G1135] of them[G846] is she?[G1096]for[G1063]seven[G2033]had[G2192]her[G846] to wife[G1135].
34And[G2532]Jesus[G2424]answering[G611]said[G2036] unto them[G846], The children[G5207] of this[G5127]world[G165]marry[G1060], and[G2532] are given in marriage[G1548]:
35But[G1161] they which shall be accounted worthy[G2661] to obtain[G5177]that[G1565]world[G165], and[G2532] the resurrection[G386]from[G1537] the dead[G3498], neither[G3777]marry[G1060], nor[G3777] are given in marriage[G1548]:
36Neither[G3777]can[G1410] they die[G599] any more[G2089]: for[G1063] they are[G1526] equal unto the angels[G2465]; and[G2532]are[G1526] the children[G5207] of God[G2316], being[G5607] the children[G5207] of the resurrection[G386].
37Now[G1161]that[G3754] the dead[G3498] are raised[G1453], even[G2532]Moses[G3475]shewed[G3377]at[G1909] the bush[G942], when[G5613] he calleth[G3004] the Lord[G2962] the God[G2316] of Abraham[G11], and[G2532] the God[G2316] of Isaac[G2464], and[G2532] the God[G2316] of Jacob[G2384].
38For[G1161] he is[G2076]not[G3756] a God[G2316] of the dead[G3498], but[G235] of the living[G2198]: for[G1063]all[G3956]live[G2198] unto him[G846].
39Then[G1161]certain[G5100] of the scribes[G1122]answering[G611]said[G2036], Master[G1320], thou hast well[G2573]said[G2036].
40And[G1161] after that[G3765] they durst[G5111]not[G3765]ask[G1905]him[G846]any[G3762] question at all.
41And[G1161] he said[G2036]unto[G4314]them[G846], How[G4459]say[G3004] they that Christ[G5547]is[G1511] David's son?[G5207]
42And[G2532]David[G1138]himself[G846]saith[G3004]in[G1722] the book[G976] of Psalms[G5568], The LORD[G2962]said[G2036] unto my[G3450]Lord[G2962], Sit thou[G2521]on[G1537]my[G3450] right hand[G1188],
43Till[G2193] I make[G5087]thine[G4675]enemies[G2190]thy[G4675]footstool[G4228].
44David[G1138]therefore[G3767]calleth[G2564]him[G846]Lord[G2962], how[G4459] is he[G2076]then[G2532]his[G846]son?[G5207]
45Then[G1161] in the audience[G191] of all[G3956] the people[G2992] he said[G2036] unto his[G846]disciples[G3101],
46Beware[G4337]of[G575] the scribes[G1122], which[G3588]desire[G2309] to walk[G4043]in[G1722] long robes[G4749], and[G2532]love[G5368]greetings[G783]in[G1722] the markets[G58], and[G2532] the highest seats[G4410]in[G1722] the synagogues[G4864], and[G2532] the chief rooms[G4411]at[G1722]feasts[G1173];
47Which[G3739]devour[G2719]widows[G5503]' houses[G3614], and[G2532] for a shew[G4392]make[G4336]long[G3117]prayers[G4336]: the same[G3778] shall receive[G2983]greater[G4055]damnation[G2917].
