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.
It
happened
on
one of
those
days,
as he
was teaching the people in the temple and preaching
the Gospel, that
the priests and scribes came to him with
the
elders
.
“Tell
us,”
they said
, “
by what authority are
You doing
these things ,
and
who gave
You this authority? ”
They asked
him
, "Tell
us:
by what authority do
you do
these things ?
Or
who is
giving
you this authority? "
“
I will
also ask you a
question ,”
Jesus
replied
. “
Tell Me:
He
answered
them,
"
I also will
ask you one
question. Tell me:
John’s
baptism —
was it from heaven, or from men? ”
the
baptism of
John,
was it from heaven, or from men? "
They deliberated
among
themselves and
said
, “
If we say, ‘
From heaven, ’
He will ask
, ‘
Why did
you not
believe him? ’
They reasoned
with
themselves, saying,
"
If we say, '
From heaven, '
he will say
, '
Why didn't
you believe him? '
But if we say, ‘
From men, ’
all the people will stone us, for they are convinced
that John was a prophet. ”
But if we say, '
From men, '
all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded
that John was a prophet. "
So
they answered that they did
not
know where it was from.
They answered that they didn't
know where it was from.
And
Jesus replied
, “
Neither will I tell you by what authority I am
doing
these things. ”
Jesus said
to
them
, "
Neither will I tell you by what authority I do
these things. "
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.
He began
to tell the people this parable .
"
A man planted a vineyard, and
rented it out to some farmers
, and went into
another
country
for a long time.
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
.
At the
proper
season
, he sent a servant to the farmers
to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers
beat him,
and sent him away empty.
So
he sent another servant, but
they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending
him away empty -handed
.
He sent yet
another servant, and
they also
beat him ,
and treated him shamefully, and
sent
him away empty.
Then
he sent a third, but
they wounded him and threw him out.
He sent yet
a third, and
they also
wounded him ,
and threw him out.
‘
What shall I do? ’
asked
the
owner
of
the
vineyard.
‘
I will send my beloved son. Perhaps
they will respect him. ’
The
lord
of
the
vineyard
said,
'
What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It
may
be
that
seeing
him,
they will respect him. '
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. ’
"
But when the farmers
saw him
, they reasoned
among themselves, saying,
'
This is the heir. Come,
let's
kill him, that
the inheritance may
be ours. '
So
they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then
will the owner
of the vineyard do to them?
They threw him out of the vineyard ,
and killed him. What therefore
will the lord
of the vineyard do to them?
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
! ”
He will come and destroy
these
farmers
, and will give the vineyard to others. "
When they
heard it
, they said, "
May it
never be
! "
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 ’
?
But he
looked at them ,
and said, "
Then what is this
that is written ,
'
The stone which
the builders rejected ,
The same
was
made
the
chief
cornerstone? '
Everyone who falls on this
stone will be broken to pieces, but he
on
whom
it falls
will be
crushed
. ”
"
Everyone who falls on that
stone will be broken to pieces, But it will crush
whomever
it
falls
on
to
dust
. "
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.
The chief priests and
the
scribes
sought to lay
hands
on
Him that very hour ,
but they feared
the people --for
they
knew
He
had
spoken
this
parable
against
them
.
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.
They watched him ,
and sent out
spies ,
who pretended to be righteous,
that
they might
trap
him in something
he
said,
so
as
to deliver
him up
to the power
and authority of the governor.
“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
.
They asked
him
, "Teacher,
we know that you say
and teach what
is
right
, and
aren't
partial
to
anyone,
but truly
teach the way of God.
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not? ”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar ,
or not? "
But Jesus
saw
through
their duplicity
and said to them,
But he
perceived
their craftiness,
and said to them, "Why
do
you
test
me?
“
Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it? ”
“Caesar’s,”
they answered.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it? "
They answered ,
"Caesar's
. "
So
Jesus
told
them, “
Give to Caesar what
is
Caesar’s
, and to God what
is
God’s
. ”
He
said
to
them, "Then
give to Caesar the
things
that
are
Caesar's
, and to God the
things
that
are
God's
. "
And
they were
unable
to trap Him in His words before the people ;
and
amazed
at His answer, they
fell
silent.
They weren't
able
to trap him in his words before the people .
They
marveled
at his answer, and
were
silent.
Then
some of the Sadducees, who say
there is no
resurrection ,
came
to
question
Him
.
Some of the Sadducees came
to
him
, those
who deny
that
there is a
resurrection.
“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
.
They asked
him
, "Teacher,
Moses wrote to
us that if a man's
brother dies having
a wife, and
he
is childless,
his brother
should
take
the
wife,
and raise up children
for his
brother
.
Now
there were seven brothers. The first one
married
a wife, but
died childless.
There were therefore
seven brothers. The first took
a wife, and
died childless.
Then
the second
The second took
her
as
wife,
and
he
died
childless.
and
the third married
the
widow
, and in
the same
way
all
seven died,
leaving
no children.
The third took
her
, and likewise
the seven all
left
no children ,
and
died
.
And
last
of
all,
the woman died.
Afterward
the woman also
died.
So
then,
in the resurrection ,
whose wife will she be? For all
seven were
married
to
her. ”
Therefore
in the resurrection whose wife of
them
will she be? For the
seven had
her as
a
wife
. "
Jesus answered
, “
The sons
of this age marry and are given in marriage.
Jesus said
to
them
, "
The children
of this age marry ,
and 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.
But those who are considered worthy to attain
to that
age
and the resurrection from the dead ,
neither marry ,
nor are
given in marriage.
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
.
For
they can't
die any
more
, for
they are like the angels ,
and are children
of God
, being
children
of the
resurrection
.
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. ’
But
that the dead are raised, even
Moses
showed
at
the bush ,
when
he called
the Lord '
The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. '
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to
Him
all are alive. ”
Now
he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to
him
. "
Some of the scribes answered, “
Teacher, You have
spoken
well !”
Some of the scribes answered, "
Teacher, you speak
well ."
And
they did
not
dare to question
Him any further
.
They didn't
dare to ask
him any more
questions
.
Then
Jesus
declared,
“How
can
it
be
said that the Christ is the
Son of
David
?
He
said to
them,
"Why
do
they
say
that the Christ is David's
son?
For
David himself says in the book of Psalms :
‘
The Lord said to my Lord, “
Sit at My right hand
David himself says in the book of Psalms ,
'
The Lord said to my Lord, "
Sit at my right hand ,
until I make Your enemies a
footstool for
Your feet. ”’
Until I make your enemies the
footstool of
your feet. "'
Thus
David calls Him ‘
Lord .’
So how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
"
David therefore
calls him Lord ,
so how is
he his
son? "
In the hearing of all the people, Jesus
said to His disciples,
In the hearing of all the people, he
said to his disciples,
“
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.
"
Beware of the scribes ,
who
like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best
seats in the synagogues, and the best
places at feasts;
They
defraud
widows of
their
houses, and for a show
make lengthy
prayers .
These men
will receive greater condemnation. ”
who
devour
widows '
houses, and for a pretense
make long
prayers :
these will receive greater condemnation. "
