Luke 20
1 One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ
2 They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛⲁϣ ⲛ̅ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ.
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,

4 where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
ⲇ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ.
5 They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲕⲙⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ. ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲉ ⲡⲉ. ϥⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
6 But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ.
7 So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ.
8 Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈·
9 Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲏ ⲁϥⲁⲡⲟⲇⲏⲙⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛ̅ⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ.
10 When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
ⲓ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲉⲩⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϫⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧʾ
11 [Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲥⲟϣϥ̅ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧʾ
12 [Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧʾ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲗϩ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲉⲧʾ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧʾ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲉⲩⲉϣⲓⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈.
14 [So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ.
15 So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ̅. ⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ.
16 He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲉⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲏ ⲛϥ̅ϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ.
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ʾ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ. ⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲉⲧⲕⲱⲧʾ ⲥⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲟϩ.
18 [That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ϥⲛⲁⲗⲱⲱⲥ. ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲱϥ ϥⲛⲁϣⲁϣϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
19 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲉϭⲟⲡϥ̅ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲓ̈ⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ.
20 So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲏⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲱⲣϭ̅ ⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϭⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲫⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ.
21 [So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.

23 But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲓ̈ⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ
24 “Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”

25 He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”

26 While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.

27 Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.

28 They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲁⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ⲥⲁϩϥ̅ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲧϥ̅ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲓⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ.
29 Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ. ⲁⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϫⲓϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ.
30 The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
ⲗ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ
31 Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.

32 Afterwards, the woman died, too.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ
33 Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”

34 Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)

35 But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)

36 [You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.

37 But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧʾ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲡⲃⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲥⲁⲁⲕ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲁⲕⲱⲃ.
38 It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”

39 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”

40 After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].

41 Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]

42 Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].

44 King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”

46 “Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places.
