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, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and publishing the good tidings, that the priests and the scribes with the elders came upon 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 spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? Or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 And He answering said to them, “I will question you—I also—one thing, and tell Me:
And he answering said to them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
4 the immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or from men?”
The baptism of John, was it 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 reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe 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.”
But if we 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 answered, that they did not know whence it was.
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 do 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 let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for 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 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-handed.
11 And he added to send another servant, and they also having beaten and dishonored that one, sent [him] away empty;
And he sent still another servant; and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they cast out.
And he went on to send a third; and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
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 beloved son; perhaps they will respect 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;
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.
15 and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
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 these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this, they said, God forbid!
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?
But he, looking upon them, said, What then is this which is written, “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the corner-stone”?
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 who falleth upon that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falleth, 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 scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that hour, but they 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 they kept watch on him, and sent forth spies feigning themselves to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the civil power and to the authority of the governor.
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.
And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and hast no regard to the person of men, but teachest the way of God truly.
22 Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 And He, having perceived their craftiness, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me?
But perceiving their craftiness, he said to them,
24 Show Me a denarius; of whom does it have an image and inscription?” And they answering said, “Of Caesar”:
Show me a denary. Whose image and inscription hath it? And they answered and 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, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that 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 could not take hold of his words before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a resurrection, having come near, questioned Him,
Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to him, and 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, “If a man's brother die, having a wife, and the same die without children, his brother shall 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,
Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and 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 took her; and in like manner also the seven left no children, and died.
32 and last of all the woman also died:
At last the woman also died.
33 in the resurrection, then, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.”
In the resurrection then, of which of them is the woman the wife? for the seven had her for a wife.
34 And Jesus answering said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world 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 they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (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.
for they cannot die any more; for they are like the angels, and are 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, even Moses hath shown at the Bush, when he calleth 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.”
Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
39 And certain of the scribes answering said, “Teacher, You said well”;
Then some of the scribes answering, said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
40 and they no longer dared question Him anything.
For they dared no longer to ask him any question.
41 And He said to them, “How do they say the Christ is [the] son of David,
And he said to them, How is it that men say that the Christ is David's son?
42 and David himself says in [the] Scroll of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand,
For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, “The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Until I will make Your enemies Your footstool;
till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
44 David, then, calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?”
David then calleth him lord; and how is he his son?
45 And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
And in the hearing of all the people 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, who like to walk about in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts;
47 who devour the houses of the widows, and make long prayers for a pretense, these will receive more abundant judgment.”
who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive a far greater condemnation.
