Young's Literal Translation
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
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 upon
`
him ',
“Tell
us
, ”
they
said
, “
by what authority are
You
doing
these things ,
and
who gave You
this authority? ”
and
spake
unto
him
, saying
, `Tell
us
by what authority thou
dost
these things ?
or
who is
he
that
gave to
thee
this authority? '
“
I will also
ask
you
a
question, ”
Jesus
replied.
“
Tell Me:
And
he
answering
said
unto
them,
`
I will question you
--
I
also
--
one
thing
, and
tell me:
John’s
baptism —was
it
from heaven, or from men? ”
the
baptism of
John,
from heaven was
it
, or from men? '
They deliberated
among
themselves and
said
, “
If we say, ‘
From heaven, ’
He will ask
, ‘Why
did you
not believe him? ’
And
they reasoned
with
themselves, saying
--
`
If we may
say, From heaven, he will say
, Wherefore,
then,
did ye
not believe him?
But
if we say, ‘
From men, ’
all the people will stone us, for they are convinced
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. '
So
they answered that they did
not know
where
it was from.
And
they answered ,
that they knew
not whence
`
it was ',
And Jesus replied
, “
Neither will
I tell
you by what authority I am
doing
these things. ”
and Jesus said
to
them
, `
Neither do
I say
to
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 .
And
he began
to speak
unto
the people this simile
: `
A certain
man planted a vineyard, and
gave
it out to husbandmen
, and went abroad
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
.
and
at the
season
he sent unto
the
husbandmen
a servant ,
that
from
the fruit of the vineyard they
may
give
to
him,
but the husbandmen
having
beat him ,
did
send
`him'
away empty.
So
he sent
another servant, but
they beat
him
and treated
him
shamefully
, sending
him
away empty -handed.
`And
he added
to
send
another servant, and
they that
one
also
having
beaten
and dishonoured
, did
send
away empty ;
Then
he sent
a third, but
they
wounded
him
and threw
him
out.
and
he added
to
send
a third, and this
one
also,
having
wounded,
they
did
cast
out.
‘What
shall
I
do?’
asked
the owner of the vineyard .
‘
I will send my beloved
son .
Perhaps they will respect
him.’
`And
the owner of the vineyard said,
What
shall
I do?
I
will send my son --
the
beloved,
perhaps having
seen
this
one,
they will do
reverence;
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
having
seen
him
, the
husbandmen
reasoned
among themselves, saying,
This is the heir ;
come,
we
may
kill him, that
the inheritance may
become
ours ;
So
they
threw
him out
of the vineyard and
killed him .
What then will
the owner of the vineyard do to them?
and
having
cast
him outside
of the vineyard ,
they
killed `
him ';
what ,
then ,
shall
the owner 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
husbandmen
, and will give the vineyard to others. '
And having
heard, they said, `Let
it
not
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’
?
and
he,
having
looked upon
them ,
said, `
What ,
then,
is this
that hath
been
written: A
stone that
the builders rejected --
this
became
head
of
a
corner
?
Everyone
who falls
on this
stone will
be broken to
pieces
, but
he
on whom it falls
will be
crushed
. ”
every
one
who hath
fallen
on that
stone shall
be broken, and
on whom it may
fall,
it
will crush
him
to
pieces
. '
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 the
chief priests and
the
scribes
sought to lay
hands
on
him in
that hour ,
and
they feared
the people ,
for
they
knew
that
against
them
he
spake
this
simile
.
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,
having
watched `
him ',
they
sent forth
liers
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 ,
“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.
and
they questioned
him
, saying,
`Teacher,
we have
known
that thou
dost
say
and teach rightly
, and
dost
not
accept
a
person,
but in
truth
the way of God dost
teach;
Is it lawful for
us to pay
taxes
to Caesar or not? ”
Is it lawful to
us to give
tribute
to Caesar or not? '
But
Jesus
saw
through
their
duplicity
and said to
them,
And he,
having
perceived
their
craftiness,
said unto
them, `Why
me
do
ye
tempt?
“Show
Me a denarius.
Whose
image and inscription
are
on
it
? ”
“Caesar’s,”
they answered.
shew
me a denary;
of
whom
hath
it
an
image and superscription
? '
and
they answering
said,
`Of
Caesar:'
So
Jesus
told
them, “
Give to Caesar what
is
Caesar’s
, and to God what
is
God’s.”
and
he
said
to
them, `
Give back,
therefore,
the
things
of
Caesar
to Caesar, and the
things
of
God
to God ;'
And they were unable
to trap
Him
in
His words
before the people ;
and amazed
at His answer, they fell
silent.
and they were not
able
to take
hold
on
his saying
before the people ,
and having
wondered
at his answer, they were
silent.
Then
some
of the Sadducees, who say
there is no
resurrection
, came
to
question
Him .
And
certain
of the Sadducees, who are
denying
that
there is a
rising
again
, having
come
near,
questioned
him ,
“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
.
saying
, `Teacher
, Moses wrote to
us ,
If any
one'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
.
Now
there were seven brothers .
The first one
married
a wife, but
died childless .
`
There were ,
then,
seven brothers ,
and
the first having
taken
a wife, died childless ,
Then
the second
and
the second took
the
wife,
and
he
died
childless,
and the third married
the
widow
, and in the same
way
all
seven died,
leaving
no
children .
and the third took
her
, and in like
manner
also
the seven --
they
left
not
children ,
and
they
died;
And last of all ,
the woman died.
and last of all died
also
the woman :
So
then,
in the resurrection
, whose
wife
will
she be
? For all
seven were
married
to
her. ”
in the rising
again
, then,
of
which
of
them
doth
she become
wife
? --
for the
seven had
her as
wife
. '
Jesus answered
, “
The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage .
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them
, `
The sons of this age do
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 accounted
worthy to obtain
that
age ,
and the rising
again
that
is
out
of
the dead ,
neither marry ,
nor are
they
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
neither
are
they able
to
die any
more
--
for
they are like messengers
--
and they are sons of God
, being
sons of the
rising
again
.
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 .’
`And
that the dead are raised, even
Moses
shewed
at
the Bush ,
since
he doth
call
the Lord ,
the God of Abraham, and
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
. ”
and
He is not a
God of dead men
, but of living, for all
live
to Him. '
Some
of the scribes answered
, “
Teacher, You
have
spoken
well !”
And
certain
of the scribes answering
said
, `
Teacher, thou
didst
say
well ;'
And they did
not
dare
to
question Him any
further
.
and no
more
durst
they question him anything
.
Then
Jesus
declared
, “
How can
it
be
said
that
the Christ is
the
Son of David ?
And
he
said
unto
them
, `
How do
they
say
the Christ to
be
son of David ,
For
David himself says
in the book of Psalms :
‘
The Lord said to my Lord, “
Sit at
My right hand
and
David himself saith
in the Book of Psalms ,
The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou
on
my right hand ,
until
I make Your
enemies a
footstool for
Your
feet.”’
till
I shall
make thine
enemies thy
footstool ;
Thus
David calls
Him ‘
Lord .’
So
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
David ,
then,
doth
call
him lord ,
and
how is
he his
son? '
In
the
hearing
of
all the people, Jesus
said to His disciples,
And,
all the people hearing
, 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.
`Take
heed
of the scribes ,
who
are
wishing
to walk in long robes, and are
loving
salutations
in the markets
, and
first
seats in the synagogues, and first
couches
in
the suppers,
They
defraud
widows
of
their
houses, and for a show
make lengthy
prayers .
These men
will
receive greater
condemnation
. ”
who
devour
the
houses of
the
widows
, and for a pretence
make long
prayers ,
these shall
receive more
abundant
judgment
. '
