Luke 20
1 And 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,
2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what
authority doest thou these things? or who is he that
gave thee this authority?
3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also
ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of
men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we
shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then
believed ye him not?
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will
stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a
prophet.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence
it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by
what authority I do these things.
9 Then 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.
10 And 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 again he sent another servant: and they beat
him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him
away empty.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him
also, and cast him out.
13 Then 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.
14 But 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.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed
him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do
unto them?
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and
shall give the vineyard to others. And when they
heard it, they said, God forbid.
17 And 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?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be
broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.
19 And 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.
20 And 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.
21 And 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:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar,
or no?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto
them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription
hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto
Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the
things which be God's.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before
the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and
held their peace.
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which
deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked
him,
28 Saying, 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 therefore seven brethren: and the first
took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died
childless.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the
seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them
is she? for seven had her to wife.
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children
of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain
that world, and the resurrection from the dead,
neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither 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 Now 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.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the
living: for all live unto him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said,
Master, thou hast well said.
40 And after that they durst not ask him any question
at all.
41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is
David's son?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The
LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then
his son?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said
unto his disciples,
46 Beware 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;
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make
long prayers: the same shall receive greater
damnation.
