Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon [him],
athaikadA yIzu rmanidarE susaMvAdaM pracArayan lOkAnupadizati, Etarhi pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAH prAnjcazca tannikaTamAgatya papracchuH
2 and spake unto him, saying, 'Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?'
kayAjnjayA tvaM karmmANyEtAni karOSi? kO vA tvAmAjnjApayat? tadasmAn vada|
3 And he answering said unto them, 'I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:
sa pratyuvAca, tarhi yuSmAnapi kathAmEkAM pRcchAmi tasyOttaraM vadata|
4 the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?'
yOhanO majjanam Izvarasya mAnuSANAM vAjnjAtO jAtaM?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying — 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
tatastE mithO vivicya jagaduH, yadIzvarasya vadAmastarhi taM kutO na pratyaita sa iti vakSyati|
6 and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.'
yadi manuSyasyEti vadAmastarhi sarvvE lOkA asmAn pASANai rhaniSyanti yatO yOhan bhaviSyadvAdIti sarvvE dRPhaM jAnanti|
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was],
ataEva tE pratyUcuH kasyAjnjayA jAtam iti vaktuM na zaknumaH|
8 and Jesus said to them, 'Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.'
tadA yIzuravadat tarhi kayAjnjayA karmmANyEtAti karOmIti ca yuSmAn na vakSyAmi|
9 And he began to speak unto the people this simile: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,
atha lOkAnAM sAkSAt sa imAM dRSTAntakathAM vaktumArEbhE, kazcid drAkSAkSEtraM kRtvA tat kSEtraM kRSIvalAnAM hastESu samarpya bahukAlArthaM dUradEzaM jagAma|
10 and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty.
atha phalakAlE phalAni grahItu kRSIvalAnAM samIpE dAsaM prAhiNOt kintu kRSIvalAstaM prahRtya riktahastaM visasarjuH|
11 'And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;
tataH sOdhipatiH punaranyaM dAsaM prESayAmAsa, tE tamapi prahRtya kuvyavahRtya riktahastaM visasRjuH|
12 and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.
tataH sa tRtIyavAram anyaM prAhiNOt tE tamapi kSatAggaM kRtvA bahi rnicikSipuH|
13 'And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;
tadA kSEtrapati rvicArayAmAsa, mamEdAnIM kiM karttavyaM? mama priyE putrE prahitE tE tamavazyaM dRSTvA samAdariSyantE|
14 and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
kintu kRSIvalAstaM nirIkSya parasparaM vivicya prOcuH, ayamuttarAdhikArI AgacchatainaM hanmastatOdhikArOsmAkaM bhaviSyati|
15 and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?
tatastE taM kSEtrAd bahi rnipAtya jaghnustasmAt sa kSEtrapatistAn prati kiM kariSyati?
16 He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, 'Let it not be!'
sa Agatya tAn kRSIvalAn hatvA parESAM hastESu tatkSEtraM samarpayiSyati; iti kathAM zrutvA tE 'vadan EtAdRzI ghaTanA na bhavatu|
17 and he, having looked upon them, said, 'What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a corner?
kintu yIzustAnavalOkya jagAda, tarhi, sthapatayaH kariSyanti grAvANaM yantu tucchakaM| pradhAnaprastaraH kONE sa Eva hi bhaviSyati| Etasya zAstrIyavacanasya kiM tAtparyyaM?
18 every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.'
aparaM tatpASANOpari yaH patiSyati sa bhaMkSyatE kintu yasyOpari sa pASANaH patiSyati sa tEna dhUlivac cUrNIbhaviSyati|
19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.
sOsmAkaM viruddhaM dRSTAntamimaM kathitavAn iti jnjAtvA pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAzca tadaiva taM dhartuM vavAnjchuH kintu lOkEbhyO bibhyuH|
20 And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,
ataEva taM prati satarkAH santaH kathaM tadvAkyadOSaM dhRtvA taM dEzAdhipasya sAdhuvEzadhAriNazcarAn tasya samIpE prESayAmAsuH|
21 and they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;
tadA tE taM papracchuH, hE upadEzaka bhavAn yathArthaM kathayan upadizati, kamapyanapEkSya satyatvEnaizvaraM mArgamupadizati, vayamEtajjAnImaH|
22 Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
kaisararAjAya karOsmAbhi rdEyO na vA?
23 And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, 'Why me do ye tempt?
sa tESAM vanjcanaM jnjAtvAvadat kutO mAM parIkSadhvE? mAM mudrAmEkaM darzayata|
24 shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, 'Of Caesar:'
iha likhitA mUrtiriyaM nAma ca kasya? tE'vadan kaisarasya|
25 and he said to them, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'
tadA sa uvAca, tarhi kaisarasya dravyaM kaisarAya datta; Izvarasya tu dravyamIzvarAya datta|
26 and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.
tasmAllOkAnAM sAkSAt tatkathAyAH kamapi dOSaM dhartumaprApya tE tasyOttarAd AzcaryyaM manyamAnA mauninastasthuH|
27 And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,
aparanjca zmazAnAdutthAnAnaggIkAriNAM sidUkinAM kiyantO janA Agatya taM papracchuH,
28 saying, 'Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless — that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.
hE upadEzaka zAstrE mUsA asmAn pratIti lilEkha yasya bhrAtA bhAryyAyAM satyAM niHsantAnO mriyatE sa tajjAyAM vivahya tadvaMzam utpAdayiSyati|
29 'There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
tathAca kEcit sapta bhrAtara Asan tESAM jyESThO bhrAtA vivahya nirapatyaH prANAn jahau|
30 and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
atha dvitIyastasya jAyAM vivahya nirapatyaH san mamAra| tRtIyazca tAmEva vyuvAha;
31 and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;
itthaM sapta bhrAtarastAmEva vivahya nirapatyAH santO mamruH|
32 and last of all died also the woman:
zESE sA strI ca mamAra|
33 in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.'
ataEva zmazAnAdutthAnakAlE tESAM saptajanAnAM kasya sA bhAryyA bhaviSyati? yataH sA tESAM saptAnAmEva bhAryyAsIt|
34 And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
tadA yIzuH pratyuvAca, Etasya jagatO lOkA vivahanti vAgdattAzca bhavanti (aiōn g165)
35 but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
kintu yE tajjagatprAptiyOgyatvEna gaNitAM bhaviSyanti zmazAnAccOtthAsyanti tE na vivahanti vAgdattAzca na bhavanti, (aiōn g165)
36 for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.
tE puna rna mriyantE kintu zmazAnAdutthApitAH santa Izvarasya santAnAH svargIyadUtAnAM sadRzAzca bhavanti|
37 'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
adhikantu mUsAH stambOpAkhyAnE paramEzvara IbrAhIma Izvara ishAka IzvarO yAkUbazcEzvara ityuktvA mRtAnAM zmazAnAd utthAnasya pramANaM lilEkha|
38 and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'
ataEva ya IzvaraH sa mRtAnAM prabhu rna kintu jIvatAmEva prabhuH, tannikaTE sarvvE jIvantaH santi|
39 And certain of the scribes answering said, 'Teacher, thou didst say well;'
iti zrutvA kiyantOdhyApakA UcuH, hE upadEzaka bhavAn bhadraM pratyuktavAn|
40 and no more durst they question him anything.
itaH paraM taM kimapi praSTaM tESAM pragalbhatA nAbhUt|
41 And he said unto them, 'How do they say the Christ to be son of David,
pazcAt sa tAn uvAca, yaH khrISTaH sa dAyUdaH santAna EtAM kathAM lOkAH kathaM kathayanti?
42 and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
yataH mama prabhumidaM vAkyamavadat paramEzvaraH| tava zatrUnahaM yAvat pAdapIThaM karOmi na| tAvat kAlaM madIyE tvaM dakSapArzva upAviza|
43 till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;

44 David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?'
ataEva yadi dAyUd taM prabhuM vadati, tarhi sa kathaM tasya santAnO bhavati?
45 And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,
pazcAd yIzuH sarvvajanAnAM karNagOcarE ziSyAnuvAca,
46 'Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,

47 who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
