Luke 20
1 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,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ
2 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?"
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲁϣ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ
3 "I also will put a question to you, "He said;
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϫⲛⲟⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ
4 "was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?"
ⲇ̅ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ
5 So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, '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 And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced that John was a Prophet."
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ
7 And they answered that they did not know the origin of it.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ
8 "Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."

9 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.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲁϥⲁⲡⲟⲇⲏⲙⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ
10 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.
ⲓ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲉⲩ ⲟⲩϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϯ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϫⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ
11 Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲕⲉϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲥⲟϣϥ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ
12 Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.

13 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.'
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲁⲣ ⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲉⲩⲉϣⲓⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ
14 "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.'
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ
15 "So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner 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 put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϥⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ ⲛϥϯ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ
17 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'?
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 severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϥⲛⲁⲗⲱⲱⲥ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲱϥ ϥⲛⲁϣⲁϣϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
19 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.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲉϭⲟⲡϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲓⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
20 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.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲏⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϭ ⲱⲣϭ ⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϭⲟⲡϥ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲫⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ
21 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.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲙⲉⲕϫⲓ ϩⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲕϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ
22 Is it allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϯⲫⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲟ ϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲕ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ
23 But He saw through their knavery and replied,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ
24 "Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they said.

25 "Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar--and what is God's to God."

26 There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉϭⲟⲡϥ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁ ⲣⲱⲟⲩ
27 Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩϯ ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲛ ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
28 "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.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲁⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲥⲁϩϥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲧϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲓ ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.

30 The second and the third also took her;

31 and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.

32 Finally the woman also died.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ
33 The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her."

35 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)
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲝⲓⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲩϫⲓ ϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁⲓ (aiōn g165)
36 For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

37 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.'
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲃⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ
38 He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."

39 Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."

40 From that time, however, no one ventured to challenge Him with a single question.

41 But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?

42 Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
