1And 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 <FI>him<Fi> ,
1And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
2and spake unto him, saying, `Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?'
2And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3And he answering said unto them, `I will question you--I also--one thing, and tell me:
3And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?'
4The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5And they reasoned with themselves, saying--`If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
5And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.'
6But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
7And they answered, that they knew not whence <FI>it was<Fi> ,
7And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8and Jesus said to them, `Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.'
8And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9And 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,
9Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
10and 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 <FI>him<Fi> away empty.
10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11`And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;
11And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.
12And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
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;
13Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
14and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
14But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed <FI>him<Fi> ; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?
15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!'
16He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17and 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?
17And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.'
18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19And 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.
19And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
20And, having watched <FI>him<Fi> , 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,
20And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
21and 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;
21And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cesar, or no?
23And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, `Why me do ye tempt?
23But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, `Of Caesar:'
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar’s.
25and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'
25And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things which be Cesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.
26and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.
26And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,
27Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28saying, `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.
28Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29`There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
30And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven--they left not children, and they died;
31And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
33in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? --for the seven had her as wife.'
33Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage,
34And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35but 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;
35But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36for 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.
36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
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;
37Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'
38For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39And certain of the scribes answering said, `Teacher, thou didst say well;'
39Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40and no more durst they question him anything.
40And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
41And he said unto them, `How do they say the Christ to be son of David,
41And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
42and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
42And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
44David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?'
44David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,
45Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
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,
46Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
