men?

believed
ye
him not
?

From heaven ,'

persuaded that John was a prophet.

it forth
to husbandmen
, and went into a
far
country 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.
And
at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen,
that
they
should
give
him
of the fruit of the vineyard :
but the husbandmen
beat him, and sent him away empty.
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.
And
again
he sent another servant :
and they beat him also
, and entreated
him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

another servant ,
and they also
beat him, and treated
him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
And
again
he sent a third :
and they wounded him also
, and cast
him out.
He sent yet
a third ,
and they also
wounded him, and threw
him out.
Then
said
the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son :
it may be they
will
reverence
him when
they see
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 husbandmen
saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir :
come, let
us
kill him, that the inheritance may 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 cast
him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall
the lord of the vineyard do unto
them?
They threw
him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will
the lord of the vineyard do to
them?
He shall
come and destroy these husbandmen
, and shall
give the vineyard to others. And
when they heard it, they said, God
forbid.
He will
come and destroy these farmers
, and will
give the vineyard to others. "
When they heard it, they said, "May
it
never
be!"
And
he beheld
them, and said, What is this then
that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become
the
head
of
the corner
?
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
? '
Whosoever
shall
fall
upon
that stone shall
be broken ;
but
on
whomsoever
it
shall
fall
, it will grind
him
to powder
.
"Everyone
who
falls
on
that stone will
be broken to
pieces
, But
it will crush
whomever
it
falls
on
to dust
. "
And
the chief priests and the scribes the
same
hour
sought to lay hands on him ;
and
they feared the people :
for they perceived
that
he had spoken this parable against them.
The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on Him that
very
hour,
but
they feared the people --

they watched him, and sent forth
spies, which
should
feign
themselves
just
men
, that they might take
hold
of
his
words
, that
so they
might
deliver him unto
the power and authority of the governor.

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.
And
they asked him, saying,
Master
, we know that thou
sayest
and teachest
rightly
, neither
acceptest
thou
the
person
of
any
, but teachest
the way of God truly:
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 .

tribute
unto

them, Why tempt
ye
me?

them, "
Why do
you
test
me?

me a penny
. Whose image and superscription
hath
it? They answered and
said
, Caesar's.
Show
me a denarius
. Whose image and inscription
are
on
it? "
They answered, "
Caesar's. "
And
he said unto
them, Render
therefore
unto
Caesar the things which
be
Caesar's, and unto
God the things which
be
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 could
not
take
hold
of
his words before the people :
and
they marvelled
at his answer, and held
their
peace
.
They weren't
able
to
trap
him
in
his words before the people .
They marveled
at his answer, and were
silent
.
Then
came
to
him
certain
of the Sadducees, which
deny that there is any
resurrection ;
and
they
asked
him,
Some
of the Sadducees came
to
him
, those
who
deny that there is a

Saying
, Master
, Moses wrote unto
us ,
If any
man's brother die,
having a wife, and he die
without
children
, that
his brother should take his
wife, and raise up seed
unto
his brother.
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.
There were therefore seven brethren:
and
the first took a wife, and died without
children
.
There were therefore seven brothers.
The first took a wife, and died childless
.
And
the second took her to
wife, and he died childless.
The second took her as
wife, and he died childless.
And
the third took her ;
and in
like
manner
the seven also:
and
they
left no children, and died.
The third took her ,
and likewise
the seven all
left no children, and died.
Last
of
all
the woman died
also.
Afterward
the woman also died
.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is
she? for seven had her to
wife.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will
she be
? For the
seven had her as
a
wife. "
And
Jesus answering
said unto
them, The children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage :
Jesus said to
them, "
The children of this age
marry, and are given in marriage .
But they
which
shall
be
accounted
worthy to obtain
that world,
and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are 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 .
Neither
can
they die any more :
for they are equal
unto
the angels ;
and are the
children of God, being the
children of the resurrection.
For
they can't
die any more ,
for they are like
the angels ,
and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
Now
that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed
at the bush, when he calleth
the Lord the God of Abraham, and
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. '
For
he is not a
God of the dead, but of the living :
for all live
unto
him.
Now
he is not the
God of the dead, but of the living ,
for all are
alive
to
him. "
Then
certain
of the scribes answering
said
, Master
, thou
hast
well said
.
Some
of the scribes answered
, "Teacher
, you
speak
well. "
And
after
that
they durst
not
ask him any question
at
all
.
They didn't
dare
to
ask him any more
questions
.
And
he said unto
them, How
say
they that Christ is David's son?
He said to
them, "Why
do
they say
that the
Christ is David's son?
And
David himself saith
in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto
my Lord, Sit thou
on
my right hand,
David himself says
in the book of Psalms, '
The Lord said to
my Lord, "
Sit at
my right hand,
Till
I make thine
enemies thy
footstool.
Until
I make your
enemies the
footstool of
your
feet
. "'
David therefore calleth
him Lord, how is he then
his son?
"
David therefore calls
him Lord, so
how is he his son? "
Then
in the audience
of all the people he said unto
his disciples,
In the hearing
of all the people ,
he said to
his disciples,
Beware of the scribes, which
desire
to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets
, and
the highest
seats in the synagogues, and the chief
rooms
at feasts;
"
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;
Which
devour widows' houses, and for a shew
make long prayers: the
same
shall
receive greater damnation
.
who
devour widows' houses, and for a pretense
make long prayers: these
will
receive greater condemnation
. "
