Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and telling the good tidings, that the High-priests and the Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him, —
And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,
2 and spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?
3 And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
And he answering said to them, I also will ask you [one] thing, and tell me:
4 The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men?
5 And they deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?
6 But, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence.
And they answered, they did not know whence.
8 And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 And he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: —A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home 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 left the country for a long time.
10 And, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty.
And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent [him] away empty.
11 And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
And again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.
12 And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out.
13 And the lord of the vineyard said—What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, —It may be, that, him, they will respect.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [him].
14 But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying—This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; [come, ] let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.
15 And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!
17 But, he, looking at them, said—What, then, is this that is written, —A stone which the builders’ rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?
But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?
18 Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
19 And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of them.
20 And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.
And having watched [him], they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in [his] language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they questioned him, saying—Teacher! we know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no [man's] person, but teachest with truth the way of God:
22 Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me?
24 Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.
25 And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
26 And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
And they were not able to take hold of him in [his] expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.
27 But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up [to him],
28 saying—Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;
30 And, the second,
and the second [took the woman, and he died childless];
31 and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;
32 Later on, the woman also, died.
and last of all the woman also died.
33 The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?
And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [the] dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 But, that the dead do rise, even Moses, disclosed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord—The God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob:
But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in [the section of] the bush, when he called [the] Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;
38 Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
but he is not God of [the] dead but of [the] living; for all live for him.
39 And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken.
40 For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.
41 And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,
42 For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand
43 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
44 David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 Be taking heed of the Scribes—Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
47 Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
