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 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 spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee 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 answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
And responding He said to them, I will ask you one word; and you tell me:
4 The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from 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 reason among themselves saying, If we may say it is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on 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.
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 knew not whence.
And they responded, We do not know whence it is.
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 am doing 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 gave it out to husbandmen, and went away 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 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, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, 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, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
And he proceeded to send a third: and wounding him, they cast him out also.
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 own beloved son: perchance seeing, they will reverence 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.
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, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto 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 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 hearing, they said, Let it not be so.
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?
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 Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
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 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 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, 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 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 know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
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 allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
is it lawful for us give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
And He knowing their rascality, said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
Show me the denarion. Whose image and superscription has it? And they responding 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, Therefore render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's.
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 criticise His word before the people: and being astonished 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 certain ones of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, coming forward asked 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.
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 Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
Then there were seven brothers; and the first receiving a wife died childless.
30 And, the second,
And the second
31 and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
and the third received her, and likewise also the seven; they left no children and died.
32 Later on, the woman also, died.
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.
Therefore in the resurrection of which one of them is she the wife? for the seven had her a wife.
And responding Jesus said to them, The sons of this age 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 those counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection, which is from the dead, (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.
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 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 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 Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
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! Well, hast thou spoken.
And certain of the scribes responding said; Teacher, you spoke beautifully.
40 For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
And they no longer dared 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 the son of David?
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 the Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
Therefore David calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?
45 And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
And all the people hearing, 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, 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 widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
Who devour the houses of the widows, and pray long through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.
