Luke

Chapter 20

1 AND it came to pass on one of the days, while he was teaching the people and preaching in the temple, the high priests and the scribes with the elders rose up against him.

2 And they said to him, Tell us by what authority you do these things, and who gave you this authority?

3 Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you a word, and you tell me;

4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men?

5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say from heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

6 And if we should say from men, all the people will stone us; for they regard John as a prophet.

7 So they said to him, We do not know whence it is.

8 Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

9 And he began to say this parable to the people, A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to laborers, and went on a journey for a long time.

10 And at the season he sent his servant to the laborers to give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the laborers beat him and sent him back empty.

11 And again he sent another of his servants; but they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him back empty.

12 And again he sent the third one; but they wounded him also, and threw him outside.

13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will see him and feel ashamed.

14 But when the laborers saw him, they reasoned with themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16 He will come and destroy those laborers, and give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, This will never happen.

17 But he looked at them and said, What is it that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same became the cornerstone?

18 Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; and on whomever it falls it will scatter him.

19 The high priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour; but they were afraid of the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them.

20 So they sent spies disguised as righteous men, to ensnare him by a word, and to deliver him to the judge, and then to the authority of the governor.

21 So they asked him, and said to him, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach truthfully, and you do not discriminate be- tween men, but you teach the way of God justly.

22 Is it lawful for us to pay head-tax * to Caesar or not?

23 But he understood their craftiness and said, Why do you tempt me?

24 Show me a penny. Whose image and inscription are on it? They said, Caesar's.

25 Jesus said to them, Give therefore to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God what is God's.

26 And they were not able to get a word from him before the people; and they were amazed at his answer, and kept silence.

27 Then came to him some of the men of the Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him,

28 Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother should die, and has a wife without children, let his brother take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

29 Now there were seven brothers; the first married and died without children.

30 The second married his wife, and he died without children.

31 And the third one married her again; and likewise the seven of them; and they died leaving no children.

32 And at last the woman also died.

33 Therefore at the resurrection to which one of them will she be a wife? for seven of them married her.

34 Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry women, and women are given to men in marriage.

35 But those who are worthy of the other world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither take women in marriage nor are women given in marriage to men.

36 For they cannot die again, because they are like angels; and they are sons of God, because they are sons of the resurrection.

37 Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, even Moses pointed out; for he referred to it at the Bush when he said, The Lord God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38 God is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to him.

39 And some of the men of the scribes answered and said to him, Teacher, you have well said.

40 And they did not dare again to question him concerning anything.

41 And he said to them, How can the scribes say concerning the Christ, that he is son of David?

42 And yet David said in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

43 Until I put down your enemies under your feet.

44 If, therefore David calls him my Lord, how then can he be his son?

45 And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

46 Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love to be greeted in the streets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the high places at the banquets;

47 Those who embezzle the property of widows with the pretence that they make long prayers; they will receive a greater judgment.

Luke

Chapter 20

1 And it came1096 to pass, that on1722 one3391 of those1565 days,2250 as he taught1321 the people2992 in the temple,2411 and preached2097 the gospel,2097 the chief749 priests749 and the scribes1122 came2186 on him with the elders,4245

2 And spoke2036 to him, saying,3004 Tell2036 us, by what4169 authority1849 do4160 you these5023 things? or2228 who5101 is he that gave1325 you this5026 authority?1849

3 And he answered611 and said2036 to them, I will also2504 ask2065 you one1520 thing;3056 and answer2036 me:

4 The baptism908 of John,2491 was it from heaven,3772 or2228 of men?444

5 And they reasoned4817 with themselves,1438 saying,3004 If1437 we shall say,2036 From heaven;3772 he will say,2046 Why1302 then3767 believed4100 you him not?

6 But and if1437 we say,2036 Of men;444 all3956 the people2992 will stone2642 us: for they be persuaded3982 that John2491 was a prophet.4396

7 And they answered,611 that they could3361 not tell1492 from where4159 it was.

8 And Jesus2424 said2036 to them, Neither3761 tell3004 I you by what4169 authority1849 I do4160 these5023 things.

9 Then1161 began756 he to speak3004 to the people2992 this5026 parable;3850 A certain5100 man444 planted5452 a vineyard,290 and let1554 it forth1554 to farmers,1092 and went589 into a far country589 for a long2425 time.5550

10 And at1722 the season2540 he sent649 a servant1401 to the farmers,1092 that they should give1325 him of the fruit2590 of the vineyard:290 but the farmers1092 beat1194 him, and sent1821 him away1821 empty.2756

11 And again4388 he sent3992 another2087 servant:1401 and they beat1194 him also,2548 and entreated818 him shamefully,818 and sent1821 him away1821 empty.2756

12 And again4388 he sent3992 a third:5154 and they wounded5135 him also,2532 and cast1544 him out.

13 Then1161 said2036 the lord2962 of the vineyard,290 What5101 shall I do?4160 I will send3992 my beloved27 son:5207 it may2481 be they will reverence1788 him when they see1492 him.

14 But when the farmers1092 saw1492 him, they reasoned1260 among4314 themselves,1438 saying,3004 This3778 is the heir:2818 come,1205 let us kill615 him, that the inheritance2817 may be ours.2257

15 So2532 they cast1544 him out of the vineyard,290 and killed615 him. What5101 therefore3767 shall the lord2962 of the vineyard290 do4160 to them?

16 He shall come2064 and destroy622 these5128 farmers,1092 and shall give1325 the vineyard290 to others.243 And when they heard191 it, they said,2036 God3361 1096 forbid.3361 1096

17 And he beheld1689 them, and said,2036 What5101 is this5124 then3767 that is written,1125 The stone3037 which3739 the builders3618 rejected,593 the same3778 is become1096 1519 the head2776 of the corner?1137

18 Whoever3956 3588 shall fall4098 on that stone3037 shall be broken;4917 but on1909 whomsoever3739 302 it shall fall,4098 it will grind3039 him to powder.3039

19 And the chief749 priests749 and the scribes1122 the same846 hour5610 sought2212 to lay1911 hands5495 on1909 him; and they feared5399 the people:2992 for they perceived1097 that he had spoken2036 this5026 parable3850 against4314 them.

20 And they watched3906 him, and sent649 forth649 spies,1455 which should feign5271 themselves1438 just1342 men, that they might take1949 hold1949 of his words,3056 that so1519 they might deliver3860 him to the power746 and authority1849 of the governor.2230

21 And they asked1905 him, saying,3004 Master,1320 we know1492 that you say3004 and teach1321 rightly,3723 neither2532 3756 accept2983 you the person4383 of any, but teach1321 the way3598 of God2316 truly:1909

22 Is it lawful1832 for us to give1325 tribute5411 to Caesar,2541 or2228 no?3756

23 But he perceived2657 their craftiness,3834 and said2036 to them, Why5101 tempt3985 you me?

24 Show1925 me a penny.1220 Whose5100 image1504 and superscription1923 has2192 it? They answered611 and said,2036 Caesar's.2541

25 And he said2036 to them, Render591 therefore5106 to Caesar2541 the things which be Caesar's,2541 and to God2316 the things which be God's.2316

26 And they could2480 not take1949 hold1949 of his words4487 before1726 the people:2992 and they marveled2296 at1909 his answer,612 and held4601 their peace.4601

27 Then1161 came4334 to him certain5100 of the Sadducees,4523 which3588 deny483 that there is any3361 resurrection;386 and they asked1905 him,

28 Saying,3004 Master,1320 Moses3475 wrote1125 to us, If1437 any5100 man's5100 brother80 die,599 having2192 a wife,1135 and he die599 without815 children,815 that his brother80 should take2983 his wife,1135 and raise1817 up seed4690 to his brother.80

29 There were therefore3767 seven2033 brothers:80 and the first4413 took2983 a wife,1135 and died599 without815 children.815

30 And the second1208 took2983 her to wife,1135 and he died599 childless.815

31 And the third5154 took2983 her; and in like5615 manner5615 the seven2033 also:2532 and they left2641 no3756 children,5043 and died.599

32 Last5305 of all3956 the woman1135 died599 also.2532

33 Therefore3767 in the resurrection386 whose5100 wife1135 of them is she? for seven2033 had2192 her to wife.1135

34 And Jesus2424 answering611 said2036 to them, The children5207 of this5126 world165 marry,1060 and are given in marriage:1548

35 But they which shall be accounted2661 worthy2661 to obtain5177 that world,165 and the resurrection386 from the dead,3498 neither3777 marry,1060 nor3777 are given in marriage:1548

36 Neither3777 can1410 they die599 any2089 more:2089 for they are equal2465 to the angels;2465 and are the children5207 of God,2316 being5607 the children5207 of the resurrection.386

37 Now1161 that the dead3498 are raised,1453 even2532 Moses3475 showed3377 at1909 the bush,942 when5613 he calls3004 the Lord2962 the God2316 of Abraham,11 and the God2316 of Isaac,2464 and the God2316 of Jacob.2384

38 For he is not a God2316 of the dead,3498 but of the living:2198 for all3956 live2198 to him.

39 Then1161 certain5100 of the scribes1122 answering611 said,2036 Master,1320 you have well2573 said.2036

40 And after2089 that they dared5111 not ask1905 him any3762 question at all.

41 And he said2036 to them, How4459 say2036 they that Christ5547 is David's1138 son?5207

42 And David1138 himself846 said3004 in the book976 of Psalms,5568 The LORD2962 said2036 to my Lord,2962 Sit2521 you on1537 my right1188 hand,

43 Till2193 I make5087 your4675 enemies2190 your footstool.5286

44 David1138 therefore calls2564 him Lord,2962 how4459 is he then2532 his son?5207

45 Then1161 in the audience191 of all3956 the people2992 he said2036 to his disciples,3101

46 Beware4337 of the scribes,1122 which3588 desire2309 to walk4043 in long robes,4749 and love5368 greetings783 in the markets,58 and the highest4410 seats4410 in the synagogues,4864 and the chief4411 rooms4411 at1722 feasts;1173

47 Which3739 devour2719 widows'5503 houses,3614 and for a show4392 make4336 long3117 prayers:4336 the same3778 shall receive2983 greater4055 damnation.2917

1 AND it came to pass on one of the days, while he was teaching the people and preaching in the temple, the high priests and the scribes with the elders rose up against him.

1 And it came1096 to pass, that on1722 one3391 of those1565 days,2250 as he taught1321 the people2992 in the temple,2411 and preached2097 the gospel,2097 the chief749 priests749 and the scribes1122 came2186 on him with the elders,4245

2 And they said to him, Tell us by what authority you do these things, and who gave you this authority?

2 And spoke2036 to him, saying,3004 Tell2036 us, by what4169 authority1849 do4160 you these5023 things? or2228 who5101 is he that gave1325 you this5026 authority?1849

3 Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you a word, and you tell me;

3 And he answered611 and said2036 to them, I will also2504 ask2065 you one1520 thing;3056 and answer2036 me:

4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men?

4 The baptism908 of John,2491 was it from heaven,3772 or2228 of men?444

5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say from heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

5 And they reasoned4817 with themselves,1438 saying,3004 If1437 we shall say,2036 From heaven;3772 he will say,2046 Why1302 then3767 believed4100 you him not?

6 And if we should say from men, all the people will stone us; for they regard John as a prophet.

6 But and if1437 we say,2036 Of men;444 all3956 the people2992 will stone2642 us: for they be persuaded3982 that John2491 was a prophet.4396

7 So they said to him, We do not know whence it is.

7 And they answered,611 that they could3361 not tell1492 from where4159 it was.

8 Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

8 And Jesus2424 said2036 to them, Neither3761 tell3004 I you by what4169 authority1849 I do4160 these5023 things.

9 And he began to say this parable to the people, A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to laborers, and went on a journey for a long time.

9 Then1161 began756 he to speak3004 to the people2992 this5026 parable;3850 A certain5100 man444 planted5452 a vineyard,290 and let1554 it forth1554 to farmers,1092 and went589 into a far country589 for a long2425 time.5550

10 And at the season he sent his servant to the laborers to give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the laborers beat him and sent him back empty.

10 And at1722 the season2540 he sent649 a servant1401 to the farmers,1092 that they should give1325 him of the fruit2590 of the vineyard:290 but the farmers1092 beat1194 him, and sent1821 him away1821 empty.2756

11 And again he sent another of his servants; but they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him back empty.

11 And again4388 he sent3992 another2087 servant:1401 and they beat1194 him also,2548 and entreated818 him shamefully,818 and sent1821 him away1821 empty.2756

12 And again he sent the third one; but they wounded him also, and threw him outside.

12 And again4388 he sent3992 a third:5154 and they wounded5135 him also,2532 and cast1544 him out.

13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will see him and feel ashamed.

13 Then1161 said2036 the lord2962 of the vineyard,290 What5101 shall I do?4160 I will send3992 my beloved27 son:5207 it may2481 be they will reverence1788 him when they see1492 him.

14 But when the laborers saw him, they reasoned with themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

14 But when the farmers1092 saw1492 him, they reasoned1260 among4314 themselves,1438 saying,3004 This3778 is the heir:2818 come,1205 let us kill615 him, that the inheritance2817 may be ours.2257

15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

15 So2532 they cast1544 him out of the vineyard,290 and killed615 him. What5101 therefore3767 shall the lord2962 of the vineyard290 do4160 to them?

16 He will come and destroy those laborers, and give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, This will never happen.

16 He shall come2064 and destroy622 these5128 farmers,1092 and shall give1325 the vineyard290 to others.243 And when they heard191 it, they said,2036 God3361 1096 forbid.3361 1096

17 But he looked at them and said, What is it that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same became the cornerstone?

17 And he beheld1689 them, and said,2036 What5101 is this5124 then3767 that is written,1125 The stone3037 which3739 the builders3618 rejected,593 the same3778 is become1096 1519 the head2776 of the corner?1137

18 Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; and on whomever it falls it will scatter him.

18 Whoever3956 3588 shall fall4098 on that stone3037 shall be broken;4917 but on1909 whomsoever3739 302 it shall fall,4098 it will grind3039 him to powder.3039

19 The high priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour; but they were afraid of the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them.

19 And the chief749 priests749 and the scribes1122 the same846 hour5610 sought2212 to lay1911 hands5495 on1909 him; and they feared5399 the people:2992 for they perceived1097 that he had spoken2036 this5026 parable3850 against4314 them.

20 So they sent spies disguised as righteous men, to ensnare him by a word, and to deliver him to the judge, and then to the authority of the governor.

20 And they watched3906 him, and sent649 forth649 spies,1455 which should feign5271 themselves1438 just1342 men, that they might take1949 hold1949 of his words,3056 that so1519 they might deliver3860 him to the power746 and authority1849 of the governor.2230

21 So they asked him, and said to him, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach truthfully, and you do not discriminate be- tween men, but you teach the way of God justly.

21 And they asked1905 him, saying,3004 Master,1320 we know1492 that you say3004 and teach1321 rightly,3723 neither2532 3756 accept2983 you the person4383 of any, but teach1321 the way3598 of God2316 truly:1909

22 Is it lawful for us to pay head-tax * to Caesar or not?

22 Is it lawful1832 for us to give1325 tribute5411 to Caesar,2541 or2228 no?3756

23 But he understood their craftiness and said, Why do you tempt me?

23 But he perceived2657 their craftiness,3834 and said2036 to them, Why5101 tempt3985 you me?

24 Show me a penny. Whose image and inscription are on it? They said, Caesar's.

24 Show1925 me a penny.1220 Whose5100 image1504 and superscription1923 has2192 it? They answered611 and said,2036 Caesar's.2541

25 Jesus said to them, Give therefore to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God what is God's.

25 And he said2036 to them, Render591 therefore5106 to Caesar2541 the things which be Caesar's,2541 and to God2316 the things which be God's.2316

26 And they were not able to get a word from him before the people; and they were amazed at his answer, and kept silence.

26 And they could2480 not take1949 hold1949 of his words4487 before1726 the people:2992 and they marveled2296 at1909 his answer,612 and held4601 their peace.4601

27 Then came to him some of the men of the Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him,

27 Then1161 came4334 to him certain5100 of the Sadducees,4523 which3588 deny483 that there is any3361 resurrection;386 and they asked1905 him,

28 Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother should die, and has a wife without children, let his brother take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

28 Saying,3004 Master,1320 Moses3475 wrote1125 to us, If1437 any5100 man's5100 brother80 die,599 having2192 a wife,1135 and he die599 without815 children,815 that his brother80 should take2983 his wife,1135 and raise1817 up seed4690 to his brother.80

29 Now there were seven brothers; the first married and died without children.

29 There were therefore3767 seven2033 brothers:80 and the first4413 took2983 a wife,1135 and died599 without815 children.815

30 The second married his wife, and he died without children.

30 And the second1208 took2983 her to wife,1135 and he died599 childless.815

31 And the third one married her again; and likewise the seven of them; and they died leaving no children.

31 And the third5154 took2983 her; and in like5615 manner5615 the seven2033 also:2532 and they left2641 no3756 children,5043 and died.599

32 And at last the woman also died.

32 Last5305 of all3956 the woman1135 died599 also.2532

33 Therefore at the resurrection to which one of them will she be a wife? for seven of them married her.

33 Therefore3767 in the resurrection386 whose5100 wife1135 of them is she? for seven2033 had2192 her to wife.1135

34 Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry women, and women are given to men in marriage.

34 And Jesus2424 answering611 said2036 to them, The children5207 of this5126 world165 marry,1060 and are given in marriage:1548

35 But those who are worthy of the other world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither take women in marriage nor are women given in marriage to men.

35 But they which shall be accounted2661 worthy2661 to obtain5177 that world,165 and the resurrection386 from the dead,3498 neither3777 marry,1060 nor3777 are given in marriage:1548

36 For they cannot die again, because they are like angels; and they are sons of God, because they are sons of the resurrection.

36 Neither3777 can1410 they die599 any2089 more:2089 for they are equal2465 to the angels;2465 and are the children5207 of God,2316 being5607 the children5207 of the resurrection.386

37 Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, even Moses pointed out; for he referred to it at the Bush when he said, The Lord God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

37 Now1161 that the dead3498 are raised,1453 even2532 Moses3475 showed3377 at1909 the bush,942 when5613 he calls3004 the Lord2962 the God2316 of Abraham,11 and the God2316 of Isaac,2464 and the God2316 of Jacob.2384

38 God is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to him.

38 For he is not a God2316 of the dead,3498 but of the living:2198 for all3956 live2198 to him.

39 And some of the men of the scribes answered and said to him, Teacher, you have well said.

39 Then1161 certain5100 of the scribes1122 answering611 said,2036 Master,1320 you have well2573 said.2036

40 And they did not dare again to question him concerning anything.

40 And after2089 that they dared5111 not ask1905 him any3762 question at all.

41 And he said to them, How can the scribes say concerning the Christ, that he is son of David?

41 And he said2036 to them, How4459 say2036 they that Christ5547 is David's1138 son?5207

42 And yet David said in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

42 And David1138 himself846 said3004 in the book976 of Psalms,5568 The LORD2962 said2036 to my Lord,2962 Sit2521 you on1537 my right1188 hand,

43 Until I put down your enemies under your feet.

43 Till2193 I make5087 your4675 enemies2190 your footstool.5286

44 If, therefore David calls him my Lord, how then can he be his son?

44 David1138 therefore calls2564 him Lord,2962 how4459 is he then2532 his son?5207

45 And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

45 Then1161 in the audience191 of all3956 the people2992 he said2036 to his disciples,3101

46 Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love to be greeted in the streets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the high places at the banquets;

46 Beware4337 of the scribes,1122 which3588 desire2309 to walk4043 in long robes,4749 and love5368 greetings783 in the markets,58 and the highest4410 seats4410 in the synagogues,4864 and the chief4411 rooms4411 at1722 feasts;1173

47 Those who embezzle the property of widows with the pretence that they make long prayers; they will receive a greater judgment.

47 Which3739 devour2719 widows'5503 houses,3614 and for a show4392 make4336 long3117 prayers:4336 the same3778 shall receive2983 greater4055 damnation.2917
