Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who it is that gave thee this authority?
3 And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
And He answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one question, tell me,
4 The baptism 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 shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
6 But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
but if we say, Of men, the people will all stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].
And they answered, they did not know whence it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
And Jesus said unto them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.
Then He began to speak unto the people this parable, A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen and travelled abroad for a considerable time,
10 And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
and at the fruit-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.
11 And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
And he sent another servant; and they beat him also and abused him, and sent him away empty.
12 And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
And he sent a third; and they wounded him also and drove him out.
13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him.
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see Him they will reverence Him.
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir: let us 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.
15 And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this they said, God forbid.
17 But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?
And He looked upon them and said, What then is this, which is written, The stone which the builders refused, is become the head of the corner?
18 Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
Whosoever falleth on that stone shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it falleth, it will crush him to pieces.
19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.
And the chief priests and the scribes would have laid hands on Him at that very time, but were afraid of the people: for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
And they watched Him and sent out spies, pretending to be righteous men, to lay hold of his words, that they might deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:

23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
But He perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why do ye tempt me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar’s.
Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.
Then said He unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
26 And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
And they could not take hold of his word before the people: and they marvelled at his answer and said no more.

28 saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
saying, Moses enjoined us, if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless; and the second took the wife, and he died childless;
30 and the second;
and the third took her;
31 and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
and in like manner all the seven.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
33 In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
Therefore at the resurrection whose wife is she? for all the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
for they can die no more, being like the angels: and they are the children of God as being the children of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush; for he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to Him they are all living.
39 And certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
And some of the scribes replied, Master, thou hast indeed said right.

And they dared not any more to ask Him any such question.
41 And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?
And He said unto them, How do they say, that Christ is the son of David?
42 For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
when David himself saith in the book of Psalms, "The Lord said unto my Lord,
43 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
David therefore calleth Him Lord, and how is He then his son?
45 And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,
And He said to his disciples, in the audience of all the people,
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
Beware of the scribes, who affect to walk in long robes, and love salutations in public places, and the chief seats in the Synagogues, and uppermost places at feasts;
47 which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive a heavier sentence.
