20:1 One
day,
as
Jesus
was
teaching
the
people
in
the
temple
and
preaching
the
gospel,
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
with
the
elders
came
up
20:2 and
said
to
him,
"Tell
us
by
what
authority
you
do
these
things,
or
who
it
is
that
gave
you
this
authority."
20:3 He
answered
them,
"I
also
will
ask
you
a
question.
Now
tell
me,
20:4 was
the
baptism
of
John
from
heaven
or
from
man"
20:5 And
they
discussed
it
with
one
another,
saying,
"If
we
say,
'From
heaven,'
he
will
say,
'Why
did
you
not
believe
him'
20:6 But
if
we
say,
'From
man,'
all
the
people
will
stone
us
to
death,
for
they
are
convinced
that
John
was
a
prophet."
20:7 So
they
answered
that
they
did
not
know
where
it
came
from.
20:8 And
Jesus
said
to
them,
"Neither
will
I
tell
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things."
20:9 And
he
began
to
tell
the
people
this
parable:
"A
man
planted
a
vineyard
and
let
it
out
to
tenants
and
went
into
another
country
for
a
long
while.
20:10 When
the
time
came,
he
sent
a
servant
to
the
tenants,
so
that
they
would
give
him
some
of
the
fruit
of
the
vineyard.
But
the
tenants
beat
him
and
sent
him
away
empty-handed.
20:11 And
he
sent
another
servant.
But
they
also
beat
and
treated
him
shamefully,
and
sent
him
away
empty-handed.
20:12 And
he
sent
yet
a
third.
This
one
also
they
wounded
and
cast
out.
20:13 Then
the
owner
of
the
vineyard
said,
'What
shall
I
do
I
will
send
my
beloved
son;
perhaps
they
will
respect
him.'
20:14 But
when
the
tenants
saw
him,
they
said
to
themselves,
'This
is
the
heir.
Let
us
kill
him,
so
that
the
inheritance
may
be
ours.'
20:15 And
they
threw
him
out
of
the
vineyard
and
killed
him.
What
then
will
the
owner
of
the
vineyard
do
to
them
20:16 He
will
come
and
destroy
those
tenants
and
give
the
vineyard
to
others."
When
they
heard
this,
they
said,
"Surely
not!"
20:17 But
he
looked
directly
at
them
and
said,
"What
then
is
this
that
is
written:
"'The
stone
that
the
builders
rejected
has
become
the
cornerstone'
20:18 Everyone
who
falls
on
that
stone
will
be
broken
to
pieces,
and
when
it
falls
on
anyone,
it
will
crush
him."
20:19 The
scribes
and
the
chief
priests
sought
to
lay
hands
on
him
at
that
very
hour,
for
they
perceived
that
he
had
told
this
parable
against
them,
but
they
feared
the
people.
20:20 So
they
watched
him
and
sent
spies,
who
pretended
to
be
sincere,
that
they
might
catch
him
in
something
he
said,
so
as
to
deliver
him
up
to
the
authority
and
jurisdiction
of
the
governor.
20:21 So
they
asked
him,
"Teacher,
we
know
that
you
speak
and
teach
rightly,
and
show
no
partiality,
but
truly
teach
the
way
of
God.
20:22 Is
it
lawful
for
us
to
give
tribute
to
Caesar,
or
not"
20:23 But
he
perceived
their
craftiness,
and
said
to
them,
20:24 "Show
me
a
denarius.
Whose
likeness
and
inscription
does
it
have"
They
said,
"Caesar's."
20:25 He
said
to
them,
"Then
render
to
Caesar
the
things
that
are
Caesar's,
and
to
God
the
things
that
are
God's."
20:26 And
they
were
not
able
in
the
presence
of
the
people
to
catch
him
in
what
he
said,
but
marveling
at
his
answer
they
became
silent.
20:27 There
came
to
him
some
Sadducees,
those
who
deny
that
there
is
a
resurrection,
20:28 and
they
asked
him
a
question,
saying,
"Teacher,
Moses
wrote
for
us
that
if
a
man's
brother
dies,
having
a
wife
but
no
children,
the
man
must
take
the
widow
and
raise
up
offspring
for
his
brother.
20:29 Now
there
were
seven
brothers.
The
first
took
a
wife,
and
died
without
children.
20:30 And
the
second
20:31 and
the
third
took
her,
and
likewise
all
seven
left
no
children
and
died.
20:32 Afterward
the
woman
also
died.
20:33 In
the
resurrection,
therefore,
whose
wife
will
the
woman
be
For
the
seven
had
her
as
wife."
20:34 And
Jesus
said
to
them,
"The
sons
of
this
age
marry
and
are
given
in
marriage,
20:35 but
those
who
are
considered
worthy
to
attain
to
that
age
and
to
the
resurrection
from
the
dead
neither
marry
nor
are
given
in
marriage,
20:36 for
they
cannot
die
anymore,
because
they
are
equal
to
angels
and
are
sons
of
God,
being
sons
of
the
resurrection.
20:37 But
that
the
dead
are
raised,
even
Moses
showed,
in
the
passage
about
the
bush,
where
he
calls
the
Lord
the
God
of
Abraham
and
the
God
of
Isaac
and
the
God
of
Jacob.
20:38 Now
he
is
not
God
of
the
dead,
but
of
the
living,
for
all
live
to
him."
20:39 Then
some
of
the
scribes
answered,
"Teacher,
you
have
spoken
well."
20:40 For
they
no
longer
dared
to
ask
him
any
question.
20:41 But
he
said
to
them,
"How
can
they
say
that
the
Christ
is
David's
son
20:42 For
David
himself
says
in
the
Book
of
Psalms,
"'The
Lord
said
to
my
Lord,
Sit
at
my
right
hand,
20:43 until
I
make
your
enemies
your
footstool.'
20:44 David
thus
calls
him
Lord,
so
how
is
he
his
son"
20:45 And
in
the
hearing
of
all
the
people
he
said
to
his
disciples,
20:46 "Beware
of
the
scribes,
who
like
to
walk
around
in
long
robes,
and
love
greetings
in
the
marketplaces
and
the
best
seats
in
the
synagogues
and
the
places
of
honor
at
feasts,
20:47 who
devour
widows'
houses
and
for
a
pretense
make
long
prayers.
They
will
receive
the
greater
condemnation."
