King James Version
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 .
And
it came
to
pass,
that
on one of those days, as he taught
the people in the temple ,
and preached
the gospel, the chief
priests and the
scribes came upon
him with the elders ,
They
asked
him, "
Tell us :
by what authority do
you
do
these things? Or who is giving
you
this authority? "
And
spake
unto
him, saying,
Tell us ,
by what authority doest
thou
these things? or who is he
that
gave
thee
this authority?
He answered them, "
I also
will ask you one question.
Tell
me:
And
he answered and
said
unto
them, I will also
ask you one thing;
and
answer
me:
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from
men? "
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of
men?
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "
If we say, '
From heaven ,'
he will say, '
Why didn't
you
believe
him? '
And
they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From heaven ;
he will say, Why then
believed
ye
him not
?
But if we say, 'From
men ,'
all the people will stone us ,
for they are
persuaded that John was a prophet. "
But and
if we say, Of
men ;
all the people will stone us :
for they be
persuaded that John was a prophet.
They answered that they didn't
know
where
it was from
.
And
they answered ,
that they could
not
tell
whence
it was.
Jesus said to
them, "
Neither will
I
tell you by what authority I do these things. "
And
Jesus said unto
them, Neither tell I
you by what authority I do these things.
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.
Then
began he
to speak
to
the people this parable ;
A certain
man planted a vineyard, and let
it forth
to husbandmen
, and went into a
far
country for a long time.
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
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.
He sent yet
another servant ,
and they also
beat him, and treated
him shamefully, 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.
He sent yet
a third ,
and they also
wounded him, and threw
him out.
And
again
he sent a third :
and they wounded him also
, and cast
him out.
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. '
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
.
"
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. '
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.
They threw
him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will
the lord of the vineyard do to
them?
So
they cast
him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall
the lord of the vineyard do unto
them?
He will
come and destroy these farmers
, and will
give the vineyard to others. "
When they heard it, they said, "May
it
never
be!"
He shall
come and destroy these husbandmen
, and shall
give the vineyard to others. And
when they heard it, they said, God
forbid.
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
? '
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
?
"Everyone
who
falls
on
that stone will
be broken to
pieces,
But it will
crush
whomever
it falls
on
to dust
. "
Whosoever
shall
fall
upon
that stone shall
be broken ;
but on
whomsoever
it shall
fall,
it will
grind
him
to powder
.
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.
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.
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.
And
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.
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 .
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:
Is it lawful for us to pay
taxes
to
Caesar, or not
? "
Is it lawful for us to give
tribute
unto
Caesar, or no
?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to
them, "
Why do
you
test
me?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto
them, Why tempt
ye
me?
Show
me a denarius
. Whose image and inscription
are
on
it? "
They answered, "
Caesar's. "
Shew
me a penny
. Whose image and superscription
hath
it? They answered and
said
, Caesar'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
he said unto
them, Render
therefore
unto
Caesar the things which
be
Caesar's, and unto
God the things which
be
God's.
They weren't
able
to
trap
him
in
his words before the people .
They marveled
at his answer, and were
silent
.
And
they could
not
take
hold
of
his words before the people :
and
they marvelled
at his answer, and held
their
peace
.
Some
of
the
Sadducees
came to him, those
who
deny that there is a
resurrection .
Then
came to him certain
of
the
Sadducees
, which
deny that there is any
resurrection ;
and
they
asked
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.
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.
There were therefore seven brothers.
The first took a wife, and died childless
.
There were therefore seven brethren:
and
the first took a wife, and died without
children
.
The second took her as
wife, and he died childless.
And
the second took her to
wife, and he died childless.
The third took her ,
and likewise
the seven all
left no children, and died.
And
the third took her ;
and in
like
manner
the seven also:
and
they
left no children, and died.
Afterward
the woman also
died.
Last
of
all
the woman died also
.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will
she be
? For the
seven had her as
a
wife. "
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is
she? for seven had her to
wife.
Jesus said to
them, "
The children of this age
marry, and are given in marriage .
And
Jesus answering
said unto
them, The children of this world
marry, and 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 .
But they
which
shall
be
accounted
worthy to obtain
that world,
and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage :
For
they can't
die any more ,
for they are like
the angels ,
and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
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.
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. '
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.
Now
he is not the
God of the dead, but of the living ,
for all are
alive
to
him. "
For
he is not a
God of the dead, but of the living :
for all live
unto
him.
Some
of the scribes answered
, "Teacher
, you
speak
well. "
Then
certain
of the scribes answering
said
, Master
, thou
hast
well said
.
They didn't
dare
to
ask him any more
questions
.
And
after
that
they durst
not
ask him any question
at
all
.
He said to
them, "Why
do
they
say that the
Christ is David's son?
And
he said unto
them, How
say they
that Christ is David's son?
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 unto
my Lord, Sit thou
on
my right hand,
Until
I make your
enemies the
footstool of
your
feet
. "'
Till
I make thine
enemies thy
footstool.
"
David therefore calls
him Lord, so
how is he his son? "
David therefore calleth
him Lord, how is he then
his son?
In the hearing
of all the people ,
he said to
his disciples,
Then
in the audience
of all the people he said unto
his disciples,
"
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;
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;
who
devour widows' houses, and for a pretense
make long prayers: these
will
receive greater condemnation
. "
Which
devour widows' houses, and for a shew
make long prayers: the
same
shall
receive greater damnation
.
