20One day, as he was teaching the people in the temple and telling the good news, the chief priests and the scribes came with the eldersG2532G1096G1722G3391G1565G2250G846G1321G2992G1722G2411G2532G2097G749G2532G1122G2186G4862G4245 2and said to him, "Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who is it who gave you this authority?"G2532G2036G4314G846G3004G2036G2254G1722G4169G1849G4160G5023G2228G5101G2076G1325G4671G5026G1849 3He answered them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell me:G1161G611G2036G4314G846G2504G2065G2504G2065G5209G1520G3056G2532G2036G3427 4Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin?"G908G2491G2258G1537G3772G2228G1537G444 5They discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'G1161G4817G4314G1438G3004G3754G1437G2036G1537G3772G2046G1302G3767G4100G846G3756 6But if we say, 'Of human origin,' all the people will stone us; for they are convinced that John was a prophet."G1161G1437G2036G1537G444G3956G2992G2642G2248G1063G2076G3982G2491G1511G4396 7So they answered that they did not know where it came from.G2532G611G1492G3361G1492G4159 8Then Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."G2532G2424G2036G846G3761G3004G1473G5213G1722G4169G1849G4160G5023 9He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenants, and went to another country for a long time.G1161G756G3004G4314G2992G5026G3850G5100G444G5452G290G2532G1554G846G1554G1092G2532G589G2425G5550 10When the season came, he sent a slave to the tenants in order that they might give him his share of the produce of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.G2532G1722G2540G649G1401G4314G1092G2443G1325G846G575G2590G290G1161G1092G1194G846G1821G2756 11Next he sent another slave; that one also they beat and insulted and sent away empty-handed.G2532G4369G3992G2087G1401G1161G1194G2548G2532G818G1821G2756 12And he sent still a third; this one also they wounded and threw out.G2532G4369G3992G5154G1161G5135G5126G2532G1544 13Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'G1161G2036G2962G290G5101G4160G3992G3450G27G5207G2481G1788G1492G5126 14But when the tenants saw him, they discussed it among themselves and said, 'This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.'G1161G1092G1492G846G1260G4314G1438G3004G3778G2076G2818G1205G615G846G2443G2817G1096G2257 15So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?G2532G1544G846G1854G290G615G5101G3767G4160G2962G290G4160G846 16He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "Heaven forbid!"G2064G2532G622G5128G1092G2532G1325G290G243G1161G191G2036G3361G1096 17But he looked at them and said, "What then does this text mean: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?G1161G1689G846G2036G5101G2076G5124G3767G1125G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G2776G1519G1137 18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls."G3956G4098G1909G1565G3037G4917G1161G1909G3739G302G4098G3039G846G3039 19When the scribes and chief priests realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people.G2532G749G2532G1122G1722G846G5610G2212G1911G5495G1909G846G2532G5399G2992G1063G1097G3754G2036G5026G3850G4314G846 20So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be honest, in order to trap him by what he said, so as to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor.G2532G3906G649G1455G5271G1511G1438G1342G2443G1949G846G3056G1519G3860G846G746G2532G1849G2232 21So they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and you show deference to no one, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth.G2532G1905G846G3004G1320G1492G3754G3004G2532G1321G3723G2532G3756G2983G4383G235G1321G3598G2316G225G1909 22Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?"G1832G2254G1325G5411G2541G2228G3756 23But he perceived their craftiness and said to them,G1161G2657G846G3834G2036G4314G846G5101G3985G3165 24"Show me a denarius. Whose head and whose title does it bear?" They said, "The emperor's."G1925G3427G1220G5101G1504G2532G1923G2192G611G1161G2036G2541 25He said to them, "Then give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's."G1161G2036G846G591G5106G2541G3588G2541G2532G2316G3588G2316 26And they were not able in the presence of the people to trap him by what he said; and being amazed by his answer, they became silent.G2532G2480G3756G1949G846G4487G1726G2992G2532G2296G1909G846G612G4601 27Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to himG1161G4334G5100G4523G3588G483G1511G3361G386G1905G846 28and asked him a question, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.G3004G1320G3475G1125G2254G1437G5100G80G599G2192G1135G2532G3778G599G815G2443G846G80G2983G1135G2532G1817G4690G846G80 29Now there were seven brothers; the first married, and died childless;G2258G3767G2033G80G2532G4413G2983G1135G599G815 30then the secondG2532G1208G2983G1135G2532G3778G599G815 31and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless.G2532G5154G2983G846G1161G5615G2033G2532G2641G3756G5043G2532G599 32Finally the woman also died.G1161G5305G3956G1135G599G2532 33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her."G3767G1722G386G5101G1135G846G1096G1063G2033G2192G846G1135 34Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage;G2532G2424G611G2036G846G5207G5127G165G1060G2532G1548 35but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.G1161G2661G5177G1565G165G2532G386G1537G3498G3777G1060G3777G1548 36Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.G3777G1063G1410G599G2089G1063G1526G2465G2532G1526G5207G2316G5607G5207G386 37And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.G1161G3754G3498G1453G2532G3475G3377G1909G942G5613G3004G2962G2316G11G2532G2316G2464G2532G2316G2384 38Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive."G1161G2076G3756G2316G3498G235G2198G1063G3956G2198G846 39Then some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well."G1161G5100G1122G611G2036G1320G2573G2036 40For they no longer dared to ask him another question.G1161G3765G5111G3765G1905G846G3762 41Then he said to them, "How can they say that the Messiah is David's son?G1161G2036G4314G846G4459G3004G5547G1511G1138G5207 42For David himself says in the book of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,G2532G1138G846G3004G1722G976G5568G2962G2036G3450G2962G2521G1537G3450G1188 43until I make your enemies your footstool."G2193G302G5087G4675G2190G4675G4228G5286 44David thus calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?"G1138G3767G2564G846G2962G4459G2076G2532G846G5207 45In the hearing of all the people he said to the disciples,G1161G191G3956G2992G2036G846G3101 46"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets.G4337G575G1122G3588G2309G4043G1722G4749G2532G5368G783G1722G58G2532G4410G1722G4864G2532G4411G1722G1173 47They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."G3739G2719G5503G3614G2532G4392G4336G3117G4336G3778G2983G4055G2917
