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.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν (ἐκείνων *k*) διδάσκοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ εὐαγγελιζομένου ἐπέστησαν οἱ (ἀρχιερεῖς *NK(o)*) καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς σὺν τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις
2 They spoke, saying to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is who gave you this authority.”
καὶ εἶπαν λέγοντες πρὸς αὐτόν· εἰπὸν ἡμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς ἢ τίς ἐστιν ὁ δούς σοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην;
3 He answered and said to them, “I will also ask you a question, and you tell me.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ κἀγὼ (ἕνα *k*) λόγον, καὶ εἴπατέ μοι·
4 The baptism of John: was it from heaven or from men?”
τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἦν ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων;
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
οἱ δὲ συνελογίσαντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπωμεν· ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ· διὰ τί (οὖν *K*) οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ;
6 But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν· ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ὁ λαὸς (ἅπας *N(k)O*) καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς· πεπεισμένος γάρ ἐστιν Ἰωάννην προφήτην εἶναι.
7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν μὴ εἰδέναι πόθεν.
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.
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.
Ἤρξατο δὲ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγειν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην· ἄνθρωπός (τις *NK*) ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ ἐξέδετο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν χρόνους ἱκανούς.
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.
καὶ (ἐν *k*) καιρῷ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον ἵνα ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος (δώσουσιν *N(k)O*) αὐτῷ· οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὸν δείραντες κενόν.
11 He then sent yet another servant and they also beat him, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
καὶ προσέθετο ἕτερον πέμψαι δοῦλον· οἱ δὲ κἀκεῖνον κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.
12 He also sent yet a third and they also wounded him, and threw him out.
καὶ προσέθετο τρίτον πέμψαι· οἱ δὲ καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον.
13 So the lord of the vineyard said, 'What will I do? I will send my beloved son. Maybe they will respect him.'
Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος· τί ποιήσω; πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν ἀγαπητόν· ἴσως τοῦτον (ἰδόντες *K*) ἐντραπήσονται.
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.'
ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ γεωργοὶ διελογίζοντο πρὸς (ἀλλήλους *N(k)O*) λέγοντες· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος· (δεῦτε *K*) ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἡμῶν γένηται ἡ κληρονομία.
15 They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
καὶ ἐκβαλόντες αὐτὸν ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος ἀπέκτειναν. τί οὖν ποιήσει αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος;
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!”
ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει τοὺς γεωργοὺς τούτους καὶ δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις. ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἶπαν· μὴ γένοιτο.
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'?
ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς εἶπεν· τί οὖν ἐστιν τὸ γεγραμμένον τοῦτο· λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας;
18 Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But on whomever it falls, it will crush.”
πᾶς ὁ πεσὼν ἐπ᾽ ἐκεῖνον τὸν λίθον συνθλασθήσεται· ἐφ᾽ ὃν δ᾽ ἂν πέσῃ, λικμήσει αὐτόν.
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.
Καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν· ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπεν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην.
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.
Καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου, (ὥστε *N(k)O*) παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος.
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.
καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις καὶ διδάσκεις καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον ἀλλ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θεοῦ διδάσκεις.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
ἔξεστιν (ἡμᾶς *N(k)O*) Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ;
23 But Jesus understood their craftiness, and said to them,
κατανοήσας δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πανουργίαν εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς (τί *KO*) (με πειράζετε· *K*)
24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and name is on it?” They said, “Caesar's.”
(δείξατέ *N(k)O*) μοι δηνάριον· τίνος ἔχει εἰκόνα καὶ ἐπιγραφήν; (οἱ *N(K)O*) δὲ εἶπαν· Καίσαρος.
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν (πρὸς *no*) (αὐτούς· *N(k)O*) τοίνυν ἀπόδοτε τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τῷ θεῷ.
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.
καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι (αὐτοῦ *NK(o)*) ῥήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ ἐσίγησαν.
27 When some of the Sadducees came to him, the ones who say that there is no resurrection,
Προσελθόντες δέ τινες τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, οἱ (ἀντιλέγοντες *NK(o)*) ἀνάστασιν μὴ εἶναι, ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
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.
λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν· ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος (ᾖ, *N(K)O*) ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
29 There were seven brothers and the first took a wife, and died childless,
ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος λαβὼν γυναῖκα ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος,
30 and the second as well.
καὶ (ἔλαβεν *K*) ὁ δεύτερος (τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ οὑτὸς ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος *K*)
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν (ὡσαύτως, *o*) ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα καὶ ἀπέθανον.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
ὕστερον (δὲ πάντων *K*) καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν.
33 In the resurrection then, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as their wife.”
(ἡ γυνὴ *no*) οὖν ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει, τίνος αὐτῶν γίνεται γυνή; οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.
Καὶ (ἀποκριθεὶς *k*) εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσιν καὶ (γαμίσκονται, *N(k)O*) (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are regarded as worthy in that age to receive the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
οἱ δὲ καταξιωθέντες τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε (γαμίζονται· *N(k)(o)*) (aiōn g165)
36 Neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
(οὐδὲ *N(k)O*) γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται, ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσιν, καὶ υἱοί εἰσιν (τοῦ *k*) θεοῦ τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες.
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.
ὅτι δὲ ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί, καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐμήνυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου ὡς λέγει κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ (τὸν *k*) θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ (τὸν *k*) θεὸν Ἰακώβ.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, because all live to him.”
θεὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔστιν νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων· πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν.
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have answered well.”
Ἀποκριθέντες δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπαν· διδάσκαλε, καλῶς εἶπας.
40 For they did not dare ask him any more questions.
οὐκέτι οὐκέτι (γὰρ *N(k)O*) ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν.
41 Jesus said to them, “How do they say that the Christ is David's son?
Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· πῶς λέγουσιν τὸν χριστὸν εἶναι Δαυὶδ υἱόν;
42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand,
(καὶ *ko*) αὐτὸς (γὰρ *no*) Δαυὶδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν· εἶπεν (ὁ *ko*) κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου· κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
43 until I make your enemies your footstool.'
ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.
44 David therefore calls the Christ 'Lord', so how is he David's son?”
Δαυὶδ οὖν κύριον αὐτὸν καλεῖ, καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ἐστιν;
45 In the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
Ἀκούοντος δὲ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ·
46 “Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love special greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts.
προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς καὶ φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις,
47 They also devour widows' houses, and for a show they make long prayers. Men like this will receive greater condemnation.”
οἳ κατεσθίουσιν τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσεύχονται· οὗτοι λήμψονται περισσότερον κρίμα.
