Luke 20
1 And it came to pass on one of the days (of those *k*) when is teaching He the people in the temple and evangelising came up the (chief priests *NK(o)*) and the scribes with the elders
On one of those days while He was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming the Good News, the High Priests came upon Him, and the Scribes,
2 and spoke saying to Him: do tell us by what authority these things You do or who is the [one] having given to You authority this?
together with the Elders, and they asked Him, "Tell us, By what authority are you doing these things? And who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 Answering now He said to them; Will ask you I myself also I myself also (one *k*) thing, and do tell Me:
"I also will put a question to you, "He said;
4 The baptism of John from heaven was it or from men?
"was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?"
5 And they reasoned among themselves saying that If we shall say: From heaven, He will say; Because of why (therefore *K*) not did you believe in him?
So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
6 If however we shall say; From men, the people (all *N(k)O*) will stone us; persuaded for they are John a prophet to be.
And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced that John was a Prophet."
7 And they answered not to know from where.
And they answered that they did not know the origin of it.
8 And Jesus said to them; Neither I myself tell you by what authority these things I am doing.
"Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
9 He began then to the people to speak parable this: A man (certain *NK*) planted a vineyard and rented it to farmers and went abroad a time long.
Then He proceeded to speak a parable to the people. "There was a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 And (in *k*) [in the] season he sent to the farmers a servant that from the fruit of the vineyard (they will give *N(k)O*) to him; But the farmers sent away him having beaten [him] empty-handed.
At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
11 And he proceeded another to send a servant; but him him having beaten and having dishonored they sent away empty-handed.
Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
12 And he proceeded a third to send; They then also him having wounded they cast out.
Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.
13 Said then the master of the vineyard; What shall I do? I will send the son of mine the beloved; perhaps him (having seen *K*) they will respect.
Then the owner of the vineyard said, "'What am I to do? I will send my son--my dearly-loved son: they will probably respect him.'
14 Having seen now him the farmers were reasoning among (one another *N(k)O*) saying; This is the heir; (come *K*) let us kill him so that ours may become the inheritance.
"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed the matter with one another, and said, "'This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
15 And having cast forth him outside the vineyard they killed [him]. What therefore will do to them the master of the vineyard?
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come and he will destroy farmers these and will give the vineyard to others. Having heard [it] then they said; Never would it be!
He will come and put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.
17 But having looked at them He said; What then is that written this: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become into [the] head of [the] corner’?
He looked at them and said, "What then does that mean which is written, "'The Stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone'?
18 Everyone falling on that [very] stone will be broken; on whomever but maybe it may fall, it will grind into powder him.
Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."
19 And sought the scribes and the chief priests to lay on Him hands in that hour and they feared the people; they perceived for that against them He was speaking parable this.
At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to them.
20 And having watched [Him] they sent spies feigning themselves righteous to be, that they may catch Him in talk, (in order *N(k)O*) to deliver Him to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.
21 And they questioned Him saying; Teacher, we know that rightly You speak and You teach and not You receive [any] person but on the basis of truth the way of God teach.
So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly.
22 Is it lawful (for us *N(k)O*) to Caesar tribute to give or not?
Is it allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"
23 having perceived however of them the craftiness He said to them (why *KO*) (me do you test; *K*)
But He saw through their knavery and replied,
24 (do show *N(k)O*) Me a denarius; Of whom has it [the] image and inscription? (Those *N(K)O*) And they said; Caesar’s.
"Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they said.
25 And He said (to *no*) (them; *N(k)O*) Therefore do give back the [things] of Caesar to Caesar and the [things] of God to God.
"Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar--and what is God's to God."
26 And not they were able to catch Him in (His *NK(o)*) declaration before the people, and having marveled at the answer of Him they became silent.
There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.
27 Having approached then some of the Sadducees, the ones (denying *NK(o)*) a resurrection not being, they questioned Him
Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,
28 saying; Teacher, Moses wrote to us: if anyone’s brother shall die having a wife and he childless (shall be, *N(K)O*) that shall take the brother of him the wife and shall raise up seed to the brother of him.
"Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.
29 Seven therefore brothers there were; and the first having taken a wife died childless,
Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.
30 and (took *K*) the second (wife and this died childless *K*)
The second and the third also took her;
31 and the third took her (likewise *o*) likewise then also the seven not did leave children and died.
and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.
32 Finally (now of all *K*) also the woman died.
Finally the woman also died.
33 (The woman *no*) therefore in the resurrection, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.
The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her."
34 And (answering *k*) said to them Jesus; The sons of the age this marry and (are given in marriage, *N(k)O*) (aiōn g165)
"The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 those however having been considered worthy of the age that [one] to obtain and of the resurrection from [the] dead neither marry nor (are given in marriage; *N(k)(o)*) (aiōn g165)
But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 (neither *N(k)O*) for to die any more are they able, like [the] angels for they are, and sons they are (*k*) of God of the resurrection sons being.
For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.
37 for however are raised the dead, even Moses showed at the bush when he names [the] Lord the God of Abraham and (the *k*) God of Isaac and (the *k*) God of Jacob.’
But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
38 God now not He is of [the] dead but of [the] living; all for to Him live.
He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."
39 Answering now some of the scribes said; Teacher, well you have spoken.
Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."
40 no longer no longer (then *N(k)O*) were they daring to ask Him no [thing].
From that time, however, no one ventured to challenge Him with a single question.
41 He said then to them; How do they declare the Christ to be David's Son
But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?
42 (and *ko*) Himself (for *no*) David says in [the] book of Psalms: Said (the *ko*) Lord to the Lord of me; do sit at [the] right hand of Me
Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
43 until when I may place the enemies of You [as] a footstool of the feet of You.
Until I have made thy foes a footstool under they feet.'
44 David therefore Lord Him calls, and how of him son is He?
"David himself therefore calls Him Lord, and how can He be his son?"
45 When are listening now all the people He said to the disciples of Him;
Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to the disciples,
46 do beware of the scribes who are desiring to walk in long robes and loving greetings in the marketplaces and first seats in the synagogues and first places in the banquets,
"Beware of the Scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love to be bowed to in places of public resort and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues or at a dinner party;
47 who devour the houses of widows and as a pretext at great length pray; These will receive more excessive condemnation.
who swallow up the property of widows and mask their wickedness by making long prayers. They will be punished far more severely than others."
