Luke 20
1 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 on [Him],
And it came to pass, on one of those days, He teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the priests, and scribes, along with the elders stood up against Him;
2 and spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority You do these things? Or who is he that gave to You this authority?”
and they spoke to Him, saying, Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is the one having given you this authority?
3 And He answering said to them, “I will question you—I also—one thing, and tell Me:
And responding He said to them, I will ask you one word; and you tell me:
4 the immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or from men?”
Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we may say, From Heaven, He will say, Why, then, did you not believe him?
And they reason among themselves saying, If we may say it is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on him?
6 And if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.”
And if we may say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered that they did not know from where [it was],
And they responded, We do not know whence it is.
8 and Jesus said to them, “Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
9 And He began to speak to the people this allegory: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad for a long time,
And He began to speak to the people this parable, A man planted a vineyard and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away a long time.
10 and at the season he sent a servant to the farmers, that they may give to him from the fruit of the vineyard, but the farmers having beat him, sent [him] away empty.
And in season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard, and the husbandmen beating him, sent him away empty.
11 And he added to send another servant, and they also having beaten and dishonored that one, sent [him] away empty;
And he proceeded to send to them another servant, and they beating and dishonoring him sent him away empty.
12 and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they cast out.
And he proceeded to send a third: and wounding him, they cast him out also.
13 And the owner of the vineyard said, What will I do? I will send my son, the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will respect [him];
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my own beloved son: perchance seeing, they will reverence him.
14 and having seen him, the farmers reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
And the husbandmen, seeing him, reasoned among themselves saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, in order that the inheritance may be ours.
15 and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
And casting him out from the vineyard they slew him; what then will the lord of the vineyard do?
16 He will come, and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” And having heard, they said, “Let it not be!”
He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And hearing, they said, Let it not be so.
17 And He, having looked on them, said, “What, then, is this that has been written: A stone that the builders rejected—this became head of a corner?
And looking upon them, He said, What is that which has been written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner.
18 Everyone who has fallen on that stone will be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.”
Every one having fallen on that stone will be dashed to pieces; and on whomsoever it may fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 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 He spoke this allegory against them.
And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands on Him at this hour, and feared the people; for they knew that He spoke this parable against them.
20 And having watched [Him], they sent forth ones lying 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,
And laying in wait for Him, they sent sharpers, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might catch his word, in order to turn Him over to the government and authority of the proconsul.
21 and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we have known that You say and teach correctly, and do not receive a person, but in truth teach the way of God.
They asked Him saying, Teacher, we know that thou dost speak and teach correctly; and thou dost not receive the face; but thou dost teach the way of God in truth:
22 Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
is it lawful for us give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 And He, having perceived their craftiness, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me?
And He knowing their rascality, said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Show Me a denarius; of whom does it have an image and inscription?” And they answering said, “Of Caesar”:
Show me the denarion. Whose image and superscription has it? And they responding said, Caesar's.
25 and He said to them, “Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”;
And He said to them, Therefore render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's.
26 and they were not able to take hold on His saying before the people, and having wondered at His answer, they were silent.
And they were not able to criticise His word before the people: and being astonished at His answer, they were silent.
27 And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a resurrection, having come near, questioned Him,
And certain ones of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, coming forward asked Him,
28 saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us if anyone’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.
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if the brother of any one may die having a wife, and the same may die childless, that his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.
29 There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
Then there were seven brothers; and the first receiving a wife died childless.
30 and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
And the second
31 and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven—they left no children, and they died;
and the third received her, and likewise also the seven; they left no children and died.
32 and last of all the woman also died:
Last of all the woman also died.
33 in the resurrection, then, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.”
Therefore in the resurrection of which one of them is she the wife? for the seven had her a wife.
34 And Jesus answering said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
And responding Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrection that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
but those counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection, which is from the dead, (aiōn g165)
36 for neither are they able to die anymore—for they are like messengers—and they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they are not able yet to die; for they are like the angels, and sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 And that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush, since he calls the LORD the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
But that the dead are raised, Moses also mentioned at the Bush, when he says; The Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.”
He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live unto Him.
39 And certain of the scribes answering said, “Teacher, You said well”;
And certain of the scribes responding said; Teacher, you spoke beautifully.
40 and they no longer dared question Him anything.
And they no longer dared to ask Him anything.
41 And He said to them, “How do they say the Christ is [the] son of David,
And He said to them; How do they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 and David himself says in [the] Scroll of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand,
And David himself says in the Book of the Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Until I will make Your enemies Your footstool;
until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 David, then, calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?”
Therefore David calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?
45 And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
46 “Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are cherishing salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving salutations in the forums, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers,
47 who devour the houses of the widows, and make long prayers for a pretense, these will receive more abundant judgment.”
Who devour the houses of the widows, and pray long through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.
