Luke 20

20:1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], [that] on [1722] one [3391] of those [1565] days [2250], as he [846] taught [1321] (5723) the people [2992] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] preached the gospel [2097] (5734), the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] came upon [2186] (5627) [him] with [4862] the elders [4245],

20:2 And [2532] spake [2036] unto [4314] him [846], saying [3004] (5723), Tell [2036] (5628) us [2254], by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] doest thou [4160] (5719) these things [5023]? or [2228] who [5101] is he [2076] (5748) that gave [1325] (5631) thee [4671] this [5026] authority [1849]?

20:3 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] (5627) unto [4314] them [846], I [2504] [0] will [2065] [0] also [2504] ask [2065] (5692) you [5209] one [1520] thing [3056]; and [2532] answer [2036] (5628) me [3427]:

20:4 The baptism [908] of John [2491], was it [2258] from [1537] heaven [3772], or [2228] of [1537] men [444]?

20:5 And [1161] they reasoned [4817] with [4314] themselves [1438], saying [3004] (5723), [3754] If [1437] we shall say [2036] (5632), From [1537] heaven [3772]; he will say [2046] (5692), Why [1302] then [3767] believed ye [4100] (5656) him [846] not [3756]?

20:6 But and [1161] if [1437] we say [2036], Of [1537] men [444]; all [3956] the people [2992] will stone [2642] (5692) us [2248]: for [1063] they be [2076] (5748) persuaded [3982] (5772) that John [2491] was [1511] (5750) a prophet [4396].

20:7 And [2532] they answered [611], that they could [1492] [0] not [3361] tell [1492] (5760) whence [4159] [it was].

20:8 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Neither [3761] tell [3004] (5719) I [1473] you [5213] by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] I do [4160] (5719) these things [5023].

20:9 Then [1161] began he [756] to speak [3004] (5721) to [4314] the people [2992] this [5026] parable [3850]; A certain [5100] man [444] planted [5452] (5656) a vineyard [290], and [2532] let [1554] [0] it [846] forth [1554] (5639) to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589] (5656) for a long [2425] time [5550].

20:10 And [2532] at [1722] the season [2540] he sent [649] a servant [1401] to [4314] the husbandmen [1092], that [2443] they should give [1325] (5632) him [846] of [575] the fruit [2590] of the vineyard [290]: but [1161] the husbandmen [1092] beat [1194] (5660) him [846], and sent [him] away [1821] (5656) empty [2756].

20:11 And [2532] again [4369] he sent [3992] (5658) another [2087] servant [1401]: and [1161] they beat [1194] (5660) him also [2548], and [2532] entreated [him] shamefully [818] (5660), and sent [him] away [1821] (5656) empty [2756].

20:12 And [2532] again [4369] he sent [3992] (5658) a third [5154]: and [1161] they wounded [5135] (5660) him [5126] also [2532], and cast [him] out [1544] (5627).

20:13 Then [1161] said [2036] the lord [2962] of the vineyard [290], What [5101] shall I do [4160] (5661)? I will send [3992] (5692) my [3450] beloved [27] son [5207]: it may be [2481] they will reverence [1788] (5691) [him] when they see [1492] (5631) him [5126].

20:14 But [1161] when the husbandmen [1092] saw [1492] him [846], they reasoned [1260] (5711) among [4314] themselves [1438], saying [3004] (5723), This [3778] is [2076] (5748) the heir [2818]: come [1205] (5773), let us kill [615] (5725) him [846], that [2443] the inheritance [2817] may be [1096] (5638) ours [2257].

20:15 So [2532] they cast [1544] him [846] out of [1854] the vineyard [290], and killed [615] (5656) [him]. What [5101] therefore [3767] shall [4160] [0] the lord [2962] of the vineyard [290] do [4160] (5692) unto them [846]?

20:16 He shall come [2064] and [2532] destroy [622] (5692) these [5128] husbandmen [1092], and [2532] shall give [1325] (5692) the vineyard [290] to others [243]. And [1161] when they heard [191] (5660) [it], they said [2036] (5627), God forbid [3361] [1096] (5636).

20:17 And [1161] he beheld [1689] them [846], and said [2036] (5627), What [5101] is [2076] (5748) this [5124] then [3767] that is written [1125] (5772), The stone [3037] which [3739] the builders [3618] (5723) rejected [593] (5656), the same [3778] is become [1096] (5675) the head [2776] of [1519] the corner [1137]?

20:18 Whosoever [3956] shall fall [4098] upon [1909] that [1565] stone [3037] shall be broken [4917] (5701); but [1161] on [1909] whomsoever [3739] [302] it shall fall [4098] (5632), it will grind [3039] [0] him [846] to powder [3039] (5692).

20:19 And [2532] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] the same [1722] [846] hour [5610] sought [2212] to lay [1911] (5629) hands [5495] on [1909] him [846]; and [2532] they feared [5399] (5675) the people [2992]: for [1063] they perceived [1097] (5627) that [3754] he had spoken [2036] (5627) this [5026] parable [3850] against [4314] them [846].

20:20 And [2532] they watched [3906] [him], and sent forth [649] (5656) spies [1455], which should feign [5271] (5740) [1511] (5750) themselves [1438] just men [1342], that [2443] they might take hold [1949] (5638) of his [846] words [3056], that so [1519] they might deliver [3860] (5629) him [846] unto the power [746] and [2532] authority [1849] of the governor [2232].

20:21 And [2532] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004] (5723), Master [1320], we know [1492] (5758) that [3754] thou sayest [3004] (5719) and [2532] teachest [1321] (5719) rightly [3723], [2532] neither [3756] acceptest thou [2983] (5719) the person [4383] [of any], but [235] teachest [1321] (5719) the way [3598] of God [2316] truly [225] [1909]:

20:22 Is it lawful [1832] for us [2254] to give [1325] (5629) tribute [5411] unto Caesar [2541], or [2228] no [3756]?

20:23 But [1161] he perceived [2657] their [846] craftiness [3834], and said [2036] (5627) unto [4314] them [846], Why [5101] tempt ye [3985] (5719) me [3165]?

20:24 Shew [1925] me [3427] a penny [1220]. Whose [5101] image [1504] and [2532] superscription [1923] hath it [2192] (5719)? They answered [611] (5679) and [1161] said [2036] (5627), Caesar's [2541].

20:25 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Render [591] (5628) therefore [5106] unto Caesar [2541] the things which be [3588] Caesar's [2541], and [2532] unto God [2316] the things which be [3588] God's [2316].

20:26 And [2532] they could [2480] not [3756] take hold [1949] (5635) of his [846] words [4487] before [1726] the people [2992]: and [2532] they marvelled [2296] (5660) at [1909] his [846] answer [612], and held their peace [4601] (5656).

20:27 Then [1161] came [4334] to [him] certain [5100] of the Sadducees [4523], which [3588] deny [483] (5723) that there is [1511] (5750) any [3361] resurrection [386]; and they asked [1905] (5656) him [846],

20:28 Saying [3004], Master [1320], Moses [3475] wrote [1125] (5656) unto us [2254], If [1437] any man's [5100] brother [80] die [599] (5632), having [2192] (5723) a wife [1135], and [2532] he [3778] die [599] (5632) without children [815], that [2443] his [846] brother [80] should take [2983] (5632) his wife [1135], and [2532] raise up [1817] (5661) seed [4690] unto his [846] brother [80].

20:29 There were [2258] therefore [3767] seven [2033] brethren [80]: and [2532] the first [4413] took [2983] (5631) a wife [1135], and died [599] (5627) without children [815].

20:30 And [2532] the second [1208] took [2983] her to wife [1135], and [2532] he [3778] died [599] (5627) childless [815].

20:31 And [2532] the third [5154] took [2983] her [846]; and [1161] in like manner [5615] the seven [2033] also [2532]: and they left [2641] (5627) no [3756] children [5043], and [2532] died [599] (5627).

20:32 [1161] Last [5305] of all [3956] the woman [1135] died [599] also [2532].

20:33 Therefore [3767] in [1722] the resurrection [386] whose [5101] wife [1135] of them [846] is she [1096]? for [1063] seven [2033] had [2192] (5627) her [846] to wife [1135].

20:34 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] (5627) unto them [846], The children [5207] of this [5127] world [165] marry [1060] (5719), and [2532] are given in marriage [1548] (5743):

20:35 But [1161] they which shall be accounted worthy [2661] to obtain [5177] (5629) that [1565] world [165], and [2532] the resurrection [386] from [1537] the dead [3498], neither [3777] marry [1060] (5719), nor [3777] are given in marriage [1548] (5743):

20:36 Neither [3777] [1063] can [1410] they die [599] (5629) any more [2089]: for [1063] they are [1526] (5748) equal unto the angels [2465]; and [2532] are [1526] (5748) the children [5207] of God [2316], being [5607] (5752) the children [5207] of the resurrection [386].

20:37 Now [1161] that [3754] the dead [3498] are raised [1453], even [2532] Moses [3475] shewed [3377] (5656) at [1909] the bush [942], when [5613] he calleth [3004] (5719) the Lord [2962] the God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] the God [2316] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] the God [2316] of Jacob [2384].

20:38 For [1161] he is [2076] not [3756] a God [2316] of the dead [3498], but [235] of the living [2198] (5723): for [1063] all [3956] live [2198] (5719) unto him [846].

20:39 Then [1161] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] answering [611] said [2036] (5627), Master [1320], thou hast well [2573] said [2036] (5627).

20:40 And [1161] after that [3765] [0] they durst [5111] not [3765] ask [1905] (5721) him [846] any [3762] [question at all].

20:41 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], How [4459] say [3004] (5719) they that Christ [5547] is [1511] (5750) David's [1138] son [5207]?

20:42 And [2532] David [1138] himself [846] saith [3004] in [1722] the book [976] of Psalms [5568], The LORD [2962] said [2036] (5627) unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] (5737) on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188],

20:43 Till [2193] [302] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [4228] [5286].

20:44 David [1138] therefore [3767] calleth [2564] him [846] Lord [2962], how [4459] is he [2076] (5748) then [2532] his [846] son [5207]?

20:45 Then [1161] in the audience [191] of all [3956] the people [2992] he said [2036] (5627) unto his [846] disciples [3101],

20:46 Beware [4337] of [575] the scribes [1122], which [3588] desire [2309] (5723) to walk [4043] (5721) in [1722] long robes [4749], and [2532] love [5368] (5723) greetings [783] in [1722] the markets [58], and [2532] the highest seats [4410] in [1722] the synagogues [4864], and [2532] the chief rooms [4411] at [1722] feasts [1173];

20:47 Which [3739] devour [2719] widows [5503]' houses [3614], and [2532] for a shew [4392] make [4336] [0] long [3117] prayers [4336] (5736): the same [3778] shall receive [2983] (5695) greater [4055] damnation [2917].
