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, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon [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 spake unto him, saying, 'Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to 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 unto them, 'I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:
4 The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
the baptism of John, from heaven was it, 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 reasoned with themselves, saying — 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe 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 having been persuaded John to be a prophet.'
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence.
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was],
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 say to 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 unto the people this simile: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad 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 at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [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 added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;
12 And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast 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 owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;
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 having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may 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 outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner 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 these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, 'Let it not 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?
and he, having looked upon them, said, 'What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a 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 who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.'
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 to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.
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 forth liers 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,
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 questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;
22 Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
23 But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, 'Why me do ye tempt?
24 Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, 'Of Caesar:'
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, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God 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 on his saying before the people, and having wondered 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 of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned 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, If any one'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.
29 Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
'There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
30 And, the second,
and the second took the wife, 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 — they left not children, and they died;
32 Later on, the woman also, died.
and last of all died also the woman:
33 The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.'
And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do 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 accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they 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 are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.
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:
'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call 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.
and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'
39 And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
And certain of the scribes answering said, 'Teacher, thou didst say well;'
40 For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
and no more durst they question him anything.
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 the Christ to be 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 saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;
44 David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
David, then, doth call 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, —
'Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in 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 for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
