LU-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,
LU-20:2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority
doest thou
these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
LU-20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you
one thing; and
answer me:
LU-20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
LU-20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From
heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
LU-20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us:
for they be
persuaded that John was a prophet.
LU-20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it
was].
LU-20:8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what
authority I do
these things.
LU-20:9 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.
LU-20:10 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.
LU-20:11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him
also, and
entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
LU-20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also,
and cast [him]
out.
LU-20:13 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.
LU-20:14 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.
LU-20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him].
What
therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
LU-20:16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall
give the
vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, God
forbid.
LU-20:17 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?
LU-20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken;
but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
LU-20:19 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.
LU-20:20 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.
LU-20:21 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:
LU-20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
LU-20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
Why tempt ye
me?
LU-20:24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath
it? They
answered and said, Caesar's.
LU-20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar
the things which
be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
LU-20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the
people: and they
marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
LU-20:27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which
deny that there is
any resurrection; and they asked him,
LU-20:28 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.
LU-20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first
took a wife, and
died without children.
LU-20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
LU-20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven
also: and they
left no children, and died.
LU-20:32 Last of all the woman died also.
LU-20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is
she? for seven
had her to wife.
LU-20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of
this world marry,
and are given in marriage:
LU-20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain
that world, and
the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
marriage:
LU-20:36 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.
LU-20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the
bush, when he
calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and
the God of
Jacob.
