< Luke 20 >
1 It came about one day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came to him with the elders.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ
2 They spoke, saying to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is who gave you this authority.”
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲁϣ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ
3 He answered and said to them, “I will also ask you a question, and you tell me.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϫⲛⲟⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
4 The baptism of John: was it from heaven or from men?”
ⲇ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲕⲙⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉⲉ ⲡⲉ ϥⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
6 But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ
7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲁϣ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲓⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ
9 He told the people this parable, “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to vine growers, and went into another country for a long time.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲁϥⲁⲡⲟⲇⲏⲙⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ
10 At the appointed time he sent a servant to the vine growers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine growers beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
ⲓ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲉⲩ ⲟⲩϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϫⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ
11 He then sent yet another servant and they also beat him, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲕⲉϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲥⲟϣϥ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ
12 He also sent yet a third and they also wounded him, and threw him out.

13 So the lord of the vineyard said, 'What will I do? I will send my beloved son. Maybe they will respect him.'
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲁⲣ ⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲉⲩⲉϣⲓⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ
14 But when the vine growers saw him, they discussed among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ
15 They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲣ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ
16 He will come and destroy these vine growers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϥⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲛϥϯ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ
17 But Jesus looked at them, and said, “What is the meaning of that which is written: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲕⲱⲧ ⲥⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲉ ⲛⲕⲟⲟϩ
18 Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But on whomever it falls, it will crush.”

19 So the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour, for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.

20 Watching him carefully, they sent out spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might find fault with his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

21 They asked him, saying, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and are not influenced by anyone's position, but you teach the truth about the way of God.

22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

23 But Jesus understood their craftiness, and said to them,

24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and name is on it?” They said, “Caesar's.”

25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”

26 They were not able to find fault with what he had said in front of the people, but marveling at his answer, they were silent.

27 When some of the Sadducees came to him, the ones who say that there is no resurrection,

28 they asked him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and being childless, the man should take the brother's wife, and have a child for his brother.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲁⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲥⲁϩϥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲓ ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ

36 Neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
