And{G2532} it came to pass,{G1096} on{G1722} one{G1520} of the{G1565} days,{G2250} as he{G846} was teaching{G1321} the people{G2992} in{G1722} the temple,{G2411} and{G2532} preaching the gospel,{G2097} there came upon{G2186} him the chief priests{G749} and{G2532} the scribes{G1122} with{G4862} the elders;{G4245}

and{G2532} they spake,{G2036} saying{G3004} unto{G4314} him,{G846} Tell{G2036} us:{G2254} By{G1722} what{G4169} authority{G1849} doest thou{G4160} these things?{G5023} or{G2228} who{G5101} is{G2076} he that{G3588} gave{G1325} thee{G4671} this{G3778} authority?{G1849}

And{G1161} he answered{G611} and said{G2036} unto{G4314} them,{G846} I also{G2504} will{G2065} ask{G2065} you{G5209} a{G1520} question;{G3056} and{G2532} tell{G2036} me:{G3427}

The baptism{G908} of John,{G2491} was it{G2258} from{G1537} heaven,{G3772} or{G2228} from{G1537} men?{G444}

And{G1161} they reasoned{G4817} with{G4314} themselves,{G1438} saying,{G3754} If{G1437} we shall say,{G2036} From{G1537} heaven;{G3772} he will say,{G1223} Why{G5101} did{G3767} ye{G4100} not{G3756} believe him?{G846}

But{G1161} if{G1437} we shall say,{G2036} From{G1537} men;{G444} all{G3956} the people{G2992} will stone{G2642} us:{G2248} for{G1063} they are{G1511} persuaded that{G3982} John{G2491} was{G2076} a prophet.{G4396}

And{G2532} they answered,{G611} that they {G1492} knew{G1492} not{G3361} whence{G4159} [it was].

And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Neither{G3761} tell{G3004} I{G1473} you{G5213} by{G1722} what{G4169} authority{G1849} I do{G4160} these things.{G5023}

And{G1161} he{G756} began to speak{G3004} unto{G4314} the people{G2992} this{G3778} parable:{G3850} A{G5100} man{G444} planted{G5452} a vineyard,{G290} and{G2532} let{G1554} it{G846} out{G1554} to husbandmen,{G1092} and{G2532} went into another country{G589} for a long{G2425} time.{G5550}

And{G2532} at{G1722} the season{G2540} he sent{G649} unto{G4314} the husbandmen{G1092} a servant,{G1401} that{G2443} they should give{G1325} him{G846} of{G575} the fruit{G2590} of the vineyard:{G290} but{G1161} the husbandmen{G1092} beat{G1194} him,{G846} and sent{G1821} him away{G1821} empty.{G2756}

And{G2532} he sent{G3992} yet{G4369} another{G2087} servant:{G1401} and{G1161} him also{G2548} they beat,{G1194} and{G2532} handled{G818} him shamefully,{G818} and sent{G1821} him away{G1821} empty.{G2756}

And{G2532} he sent{G3992} yet a third:{G5154} and{G1161} him{G5126} also{G2532} they wounded,{G5135} and cast{G1544} him{G5126} forth.{G1544}

And{G1161} the lord{G2962} of the vineyard{G290} said,{G2036} What{G5101} shall I do?{G4160} I will send{G3992} my{G3450} beloved{G27} son;{G5207} it may be{G2481} they will reverence{G1788} {G1492} him.{G5126}

But{G1161} when the husbandmen{G1092} saw{G1492} him,{G846} they reasoned{G1260} one{G4314} with another,{G1438} saying,{G3004} This{G3778} is{G2076} the heir;{G2818} let{G1205} us kill{G615} him,{G846} that{G2443} the inheritance{G2817} may be{G1096} ours.{G2257}

And{G2532} they cast{G1544} him{G846} forth out of{G1854} the vineyard,{G290} and killed{G615} him. What{G5101} therefore{G3767} will{G4160} the lord{G2962} of the vineyard{G290} do{G4160} unto them?{G846}

He will come{G2064} and{G2532} destroy{G622} these{G5128} husbandmen,{G1092} and{G2532} will give{G1325} the vineyard{G290} unto others.{G243} And when{G1161} they heard{G191} it, they said,{G3361} God forbid.{G1096}

But{G1161} he looked{G1689} upon them,{G846} and said,{G2036} What{G5101} then{G3767} is{G2076} this{G5124} that{G3588} is written,{G1125} The stone{G3037} which{G3739} the builders{G3618} rejected,{G593} The same{G3778} was made{G1096} the{G1519} head{G2776} of the corner?{G1137}

Every{G3956} one that falleth{G4098} on{G1909} that{G1565} stone{G3037} shall be broken{G4917} to pieces; but{G1161} on{G1909} whomsoever{G3739} {G302} it shall fall,{G4098} it will scatter{G3039} him{G846} as dust.{G3039}

And{G2532} the scribes{G1122} and{G2532} the chief priests{G749} sought{G2212} to lay{G1911} hands{G5495} on{G1909} him{G846} in{G1722} that very{G846} hour;{G5610} and{G2532} they feared{G5399} the people:{G2992} for{G1063} they perceived{G1097} that{G3754} he spake{G2036} this{G3778} parable{G3850} against{G4314} them.{G846}

And{G2532} they watched{G3906} him, and sent forth{G649} spies,{G1455} who feigned{G5271} themselves{G1438} {G1511} to be righteous,{G1342} that{G2443} they might take hold{G1949} of his{G846} speech,{G3056} so{G2443} as to deliver{G3860} him{G846} up to{G1519} the rule{G746} and{G2532} to the authority{G746} of the governor.{G2232}

And{G2532} they asked{G1905} him,{G846} saying,{G3004} Teacher,{G1320} we know{G1492} that{G3754} thou sayest{G3004} and{G2532} teachest{G1321} rightly,{G2532} and{G2532} acceptest{G2983} not the person{G4383} [of any], but{G235} of a{G1909} truth{G225} teachest{G1321} the way{G3598} of God:{G2316}

Is it lawful{G1832} for us{G2254} to give{G1325} tribute{G5411} unto Caesar,{G2541} or{G2228} not?{G3756}

But{G1161} he perceived{G2657} their{G846} craftiness,{G3834} and said{G2036} unto{G4314} them,{G846}

Show{G1925} me{G3427} a denarius.{G1220} Whose{G5101} image{G1504} and{G2532} superscription{G1923} hath it?{G2192} And{G1161} they said,{G611} Caesar's.{G2541}

And{G1161} he said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Then{G5106} render{G591} unto Caesar{G2541} the things{G3588} that are Caesar's,{G2541} and{G2532} unto God{G2316} the things{G3588} that are God's.{G2316}

And{G2532} they were not{G3756} able{G2480} to take hold{G1949} of{G846} the saying{G4487} before{G1726} the people:{G2992} and{G2532} they marvelled{G2296} at{G1909} his{G846} answer,{G612} and held their peace.{G4601}

And{G1161} there came to{G4334} him certain{G5100} of the Sadducees,{G4523} they{G3588} that{G483} say that there is{G1511} no{G3361} resurrection;{G386}

and they asked{G1905} him,{G846} saying,{G3004} Teacher,{G1320} Moses{G3475} wrote{G1125} unto us,{G2254} that if{G1437} a man's{G5100} brother{G80} die,{G599} having{G2192} a wife,{G1135} and{G2532} he{G3778} be{G599} childless,{G815} {G2443} his{G846} brother{G80} should take{G2983} the wife,{G1135} and{G2532} raise up{G1817} seed{G4690} unto his{G846} brother.{G80}

There were{G2258} therefore{G3767} seven{G2033} brethren:{G80} and{G2532} the first{G4413} took{G2983} a wife,{G1135} and died{G599} childless;{G815}

and{G2532} the second:{G1208}

and{G2532} the third{G5154} took{G2983} her;{G846} and{G1161} likewise{G5615} the seven{G2033} also{G2532} left{G2641} no{G3756} children,{G5043} and{G2532} died.{G599}

Afterward{G5305} the{G3956} woman{G1135} also{G2532} died.{G599}

In{G1722} the resurrection{G386} therefore{G3767} whose{G5101} wife{G1135} of them{G846} shall she{G1096} be? for{G1063} the seven{G2033} had{G2192} her{G846} to wife.{G1135}

And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} {G611} said{G2036} unto them,{G846} The sons{G5207} of this{G5127} world{G165} marry,{G1060} and{G2532} are given in marriage:{G1548}

but{G1161} they that{G3588} are accounted worthy{G2661} to attain{G5177} to that{G1565} world,{G165} and{G2532} the resurrection{G386} from{G1537} the dead,{G3498} neither{G3777} marry,{G1060} nor{G3777} are given in marriage:{G1548}

for neither{G3777} can{G1410} they die{G599} any more:{G2089} for{G1063} they are{G1526} equal unto the angels;{G2465} and{G2532} are{G1526} sons{G5207} of God,{G2316} being{G5607} sons{G5207} of the resurrection.{G386}

But{G1161} that{G3754} the dead{G3498} are raised,{G1453} even{G2532} Moses{G3475} showed,{G3377} in the place{G1909} concerning the Bush,{G942} when{G5613} he calleth{G3004} the Lord{G2962} the God{G2316} of Abraham,{G11} and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Isaac,{G2464} and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Jacob.{G2384}

Now{G1161} he is{G2076} not{G3756} the God{G2316} of the dead,{G3498} but{G235} of the living:{G2198} for{G1063} all{G3956} live{G2198} unto him.{G846}

And{G1161} certain{G5100} of the scribes{G1122} answering{G611} said,{G2036} Teacher,{G1320} thou hast{G2036} well{G2573} said.{G2036}

For{G1161} they durst{G5111} not{G3765} any{G3762} more ask{G1905} him{G846} any question.

And{G1161} he said{G2036} unto{G4314} them,{G846} How{G4459} say they{G3004} that the Christ{G5547} is{G1511} David's{G1138} son?{G5207}

For{G2532} David{G1138} himself{G846} saith{G3004} in{G1722} the book{G976} of Psalms,{G5568} The Lord{G2962} said{G2036} unto my{G3450} Lord,{G2962} Sit thou{G2521} on{G1537} my{G3450} right hand,{G1188}

Till{G2193} {G302} I make{G5087} thine{G4675} enemies{G2190} the footstool{G4228} of thy{G4675} feet.

David{G1138} therefore{G3767} calleth{G2564} him{G846} Lord,{G2962} and how{G4459} is he{G2076} {G2532} his{G846} son?{G5207}

And{G1161} in the hearing{G191} of all{G3956} the people{G2992} he said{G2036} unto his{G846} disciples,{G3101}

Beware{G4337} of{G575} the scribes,{G1122} who{G3588} desire{G2309} to walk{G4043} in{G1722} long robes,{G4749} and{G2532} love{G5368} salutations{G783} in{G1722} the marketplaces,{G58} and{G2532} chief seats{G4410} in{G1722} the synagogues,{G4864} and{G2532} chief places{G4411} at{G1722} feasts;{G1173}

who{G3739} devour{G2719} widows'{G5503} houses,{G3614} and{G2532} for a pretence{G4392} make{G4336} long{G3117} prayers:{G4336} these{G3778} shall receive{G2983} greater{G4053} condemnation.{G2917}
