Berean Standard Bible
And
it
came
to
pass,
on
one of
the
days,
as he
was teaching the people in the temple ,
and preaching
the gospel, there
came
upon
him
the chief priests and the
scribes with the elders ;
One day
as Jesus
was teaching the people in the temple courts
and proclaiming
the gospel, the chief priests and scribes ,
together
with the elders ,
came
up
to
Him.
and
they
spake,
saying
unto
him,
Tell us :
By what authority doest
thou
these things ?
or
who is
he
that
gave thee
this authority?
“
Tell us ,”
they
said,
“
by what authority are
You
doing
these things ,
and
who gave You
this authority? ”
And
he
answered
and
said
unto
them,
I also
will ask you a question ;
and
tell me:
“
I will also
ask you a question ,”
Jesus
replied.
“
Tell Me:
The
baptism of
John,
was it from heaven, or from men?
John’s
baptism —
was it from heaven, or from men? ”
And
they reasoned
with
themselves ,
saying
, If we shall
say, From heaven ;
he will say
, Why did ye
not believe him?
They deliberated
among
themselves and
said
, “
If we say, ‘
From heaven ,’
He will ask
, ‘
Why did you
not believe him? ’
But if we shall
say, From men ;
all the people will stone us :
for they are persuaded
that John was a prophet.
But if we say, ‘
From men ,’
all the people will stone us ,
for they are convinced
that John was a prophet. ”
And
they answered ,
that they knew
not whence
`
it was '
.
So
they answered that they did
not know
where
it was from
.
And Jesus said
unto
them
, Neither tell
I you by what authority I do
these things.
And Jesus replied
, “
Neither will
I tell
you by what authority I am
doing
these things. ”
And
he began
to speak
unto
the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and
let
it out to husbandmen
, and went into
another
country
for a long time.
Then
He proceeded
to tell
the people this parable: “
A man planted a vineyard, rented
it out to some
tenants
, and went away
for a long time.
And
at the
season
he sent unto
the
husbandmen
a servant ,
that
they
should
give
him
of the fruit of the vineyard :
but the husbandmen
beat him,
and sent him away empty.
At harvest
time,
he sent a servant to
the
tenants
to
collect
his
share
of the fruit of the vineyard .
But the tenants
beat the
servant
and sent him away empty -handed
.
And
he sent yet
another servant :
and
him
also
they beat ,
and handled
him shamefully, and
sent
him away empty.
So
he sent another servant ,
but
they beat him
and treated
him shamefully, sending
him away empty -handed
.
And
he sent yet
a third :
and
him
also
they wounded ,
and cast
him forth
.
Then
he sent a third ,
but
they wounded him
and threw
him out
.
And
the
lord
of
the
vineyard
said,
What shall I do? I will send my beloved son ;
it
may
be
they will reverence
him.
‘
What shall I do? ’
asked
the
owner
of
the
vineyard.
‘
I will send my beloved son .
Perhaps
they will respect
him. ’
But when the husbandmen
saw him
, they reasoned
one
with
another,
saying
, This is the heir ;
let us kill him, that
the inheritance may
be ours.
But when the tenants
saw the
son
, they discussed
it
among
themselves
and
said
, ‘
This is the heir .
Let us kill him, and
the inheritance will
be ours. ’
And
they cast
him forth
out of the vineyard ,
and killed him. What therefore
will the lord
of the vineyard do unto
them?
So
they threw
him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then
will the owner
of the vineyard do to
them?
He will come and destroy
these
husbandmen
, and will give the vineyard unto
others. And when they
heard it
, they said, God
forbid.
He will come and kill
those
tenants
, and will give the vineyard to
others. ”
And when the
people
heard this
, they said, “May
such
a
thing
never
happen!”
But he
looked upon
them ,
and said, What
then is this
that is written ,
The stone which
the builders rejected ,
The
same
was
made
the
head
of
the corner
?
But Jesus
looked directly
at
them and said, “
Then what
is the
meaning
of
that which
is written :
‘
The stone the builders rejected has
become
the cornerstone’
?
Every
one
that
falleth
on that
stone shall
be broken to pieces ;
but on whomsoever
it
shall
fall,
it will scatter
him
as
dust
.
Everyone
who
falls
on this
stone will
be broken to pieces ,
but he
on whom
it falls
will be
crushed
. ”
And
the scribes and the
chief priests sought to lay
hands
on
him in
that very hour ;
and
they feared
the people :
for
they
perceived
that
he
spake
this
parable
against
them
.
When
the scribes and chief priests realized
that
Jesus
had
spoken
this
parable
against
them,
they
sought to arrest
Him that very hour .
But
they were
afraid
of
the people.
And
they watched him ,
and sent forth
spies ,
who feigned
themselves
to be righteous,
that
they might
take
hold
of
his speech,
so
as
to deliver
him up
to the rule and to
the
authority of the governor.
So
they watched Him closely
and sent spies who pretended
to be sincere.
They were
hoping
to
catch
Him
in
His words
in
order
to hand
Him over
to the rule and authority of the governor.
And
they
asked
him,
saying,
Teacher, we know that thou
sayest
and
teachest
rightly,
and acceptest
not
the
person
`of
any'
, but of
a
truth
teachest
the way of God :
“
Teacher, ”
they
inquired,
“
we know that You
speak
and teach
correctly.
You
show
no
partiality
, but teach
the way of God in
accordance
with
the
truth.
Is it lawful for us to give
tribute
unto
Caesar ,
or not?
Is it lawful for us to pay
taxes
to
Caesar or not? ”
But he
perceived
their craftiness,
and said unto
them,
But Jesus
saw
through
their duplicity
and said to
them,
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription
hath
it? And
they
said
, Caesar's
.
“
Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription
are
on
it? ”
“Caesar’s
, ”
they
answered
.
And
he
said
unto
them, Then
render
unto
Caesar the
things
that
are
Caesar's
, and unto
God the
things
that
are
God's
.
So
Jesus
told
them, “Give
to
Caesar what
is
Caesar’s
, and to
God what
is
God’s
. ”
And they were not
able
to take
hold
of
the
saying
before the people :
and they
marvelled
at his answer, and
held
their
peace
.
And they were unable
to trap
Him
in
His
words
before the people ;
and amazed
at His answer, they
fell
silent
.
And
there
came
to
him
certain
of the Sadducees, they
that
say that
there is no resurrection ;
Then
some
of the Sadducees, who
say there is no resurrection ,
came
to
question
Him.
and
they
asked
him,
saying,
Teacher, Moses wrote unto
us ,
that if a man's
brother die,
having
a wife ,
and
he
be
childless
, his
brother
should
take
the wife,
and raise up seed
unto
his
brother
.
“
Teacher, ”
they
said,
“
Moses wrote for
us that if a man’s
brother dies
and
leaves
a wife but
no
children
, the man
is
to
marry
his
brother’s
widow
and raise up offspring
for
him
.
There were therefore
seven brethren:
and
the first took
a wife, and
died childless ;
Now
there were seven brothers.
The first one
married
a wife, but
died childless .
and
the second :
Then
the second
and the third took
her;
and likewise
the seven also
left
no children ,
and
died
.
and the third married
the
widow,
and in
the same
way
all
seven died,
leaving
no children.
Afterward
the woman also
died.
And
last
of
all,
the woman died.
In the resurrection therefore
whose wife of
them
shall
she be? for the
seven had
her
to wife
.
So
then,
in the resurrection ,
whose wife will
she be? For all
seven were
married
to her
. ”
And
Jesus said
unto
them
, The sons of this world
marry ,
and are given in marriage :
Jesus answered
, “
The sons of this age
marry and are given in marriage .
but they
that
are accounted
worthy to attain
to that
world,
and the resurrection from the dead ,
neither marry ,
nor are
given in marriage :
But those
who
are considered
worthy to share
in
the
age
to come
and in
the resurrection from the dead will
neither marry nor be
given in marriage .
for
neither
can
they die any
more:
for
they are equal
unto
the angels ;
and are sons of God
, being
sons of the
resurrection
.
In
fact,
they can
no
longer
die ,
because
they are like
the angels .
And since
they
are sons of the
resurrection
, they
are
sons of God
.
But
that the dead are raised, even
Moses
showed,
in `
the place
concerning'
the Bush ,
when
he calleth
the Lord the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Even
Moses
demonstrates
that the dead are raised, in the passage
about
the burning
bush .
For
he calls
the Lord ‘
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. ’
Now
he is not the God of the dead, but of the living :
for all
live
unto
him.
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living ,
for to
Him all
are
alive
. ”
And
certain
of the scribes answering
said
, Teacher, thou
hast
well said.
Some
of the scribes answered
, “
Teacher, You
have
spoken
well !”
For
they durst
not any
more
ask
him any question
.
And
they did
not dare
to
question
Him any further
.
And
he
said
unto
them
, How say
they
that the Christ is David's
son?
Then
Jesus
declared
, “
How can
it
be
said
that the Christ is the
Son of
David
?
For David himself saith
in the book of Psalms ,
The Lord said unto
my Lord, Sit thou
on
my right hand ,
For David himself says
in the book of Psalms :
‘
The Lord said to
my Lord, “
Sit at
My right hand
Till
I make thine
enemies the
footstool of
thy
feet.
until
I make Your
enemies a
footstool for
Your
feet. ”’
David therefore
calleth
him Lord ,
and
how is
he his
son?
Thus
David calls
Him ‘
Lord .’
So
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
And
in the hearing of all the people he
said unto
his disciples,
In the hearing of all the people ,
Jesus
said to
His disciples,
Beware of the scribes ,
who
desire
to walk in long robes, and love salutations
in the marketplaces, and
chief seats in the synagogues, and chief
places at feasts;
“
Beware of the scribes .
They
like
to walk around
in long robes, and they
love the
greetings
in the marketplaces, the
chief seats in the synagogues, and the
places of
honor
at banquets.
who
devour
widows '
houses, and for a pretence
make long
prayers :
these shall
receive greater condemnation.
They
defraud
widows of
their
houses, and for a show
make lengthy
prayers .
These men
will
receive greater condemnation. ”
