Luke 20
New International Version (1984) Help
20One day as he was teaching the people in the temple courts and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him.G2532G1096G1722G3391G1565G2250G846G1321G2992G1722G2411G2532G2097G749G2532G1122G2186G4862G4245
2"Tell us by what authority you are doing these things," they said. "Who gave you this authority?"G2532G2036G4314G846G3004G2036G2254G1722G4169G1849G4160G5023G2228G5101G2076G1325G4671G5026G1849
3He replied, "I will also ask you a question. Tell me,G1161G611G2036G4314G846G2504G2065G2504G2065G5209G1520G3056G2532G2036G3427
4John's baptism--was it from heaven, or from men?"G908G2491G2258G1537G3772G2228G1537G444
5They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why didn't you believe him?'G1161G4817G4314G1438G3004G3754G1437G2036G1537G3772G2046G1302G3767G4100G846G3756
6But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet."G1161G1437G2036G1537G444G3956G2992G2642G2248G1063G2076G3982G2491G1511G4396
7So they answered, "We don't know where it was from."G2532G611G1492G3361G1492G4159
8Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."G2532G2424G2036G846G3761G3004G1473G5213G1722G4169G1849G4160G5023
9He went on to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.G1161G756G3004G4314G2992G5026G3850G5100G444G5452G290G2532G1554G846G1554G1092G2532G589G2425G5550
10At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.G2532G1722G2540G649G1401G4314G1092G2443G1325G846G575G2590G290G1161G1092G1194G846G1821G2756
11He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed.G2532G4369G3992G2087G1401G1161G1194G2548G2532G818G1821G2756
12He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.G2532G4369G3992G5154G1161G5135G5126G2532G1544
13"Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.'G1161G2036G2962G290G5101G4160G3992G3450G27G5207G2481G1788G1492G5126
14"But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. 'This is the heir,' they said. 'Let's kill him, and the inheritance will 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 kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When the people heard this, they said, "May this never be!"G2064G2532G622G5128G1092G2532G1325G290G243G1161G191G2036G3361G1096
17Jesus looked directly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: "'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone'?G1161G1689G846G2036G5101G2076G5124G3767G1125G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G2776G1519G1137
18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."G3956G4098G1909G1565G3037G4917G1161G1909G3739G302G4098G3039G846G3039
19The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.G2532G749G2532G1122G1722G846G5610G2212G1911G5495G1909G846G2532G5399G2992G1063G1097G3754G2036G5026G3850G4314G846
20Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be honest. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.G2532G3906G649G1455G5271G1511G1438G1342G2443G1949G846G3056G1519G3860G846G746G2532G1849G2232
21So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.G2532G1905G846G3004G1320G1492G3754G3004G2532G1321G3723G2532G3756G2983G4383G235G1321G3598G2316G225G1909
22Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"G1832G2254G1325G5411G2541G2228G3756
23He saw through their duplicity and said to them,G1161G2657G846G3834G2036G4314G846G5101G3985G3165
24"Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?"G1925G3427G1220G5101G1504G2532G1923G2192G611G1161G2036G2541
25"Caesar's," they replied. He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."G1161G2036G846G591G5106G2541G3588G2541G2532G2316G3588G2316
26They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.G2532G2480G3756G1949G846G4487G1726G2992G2532G2296G1909G846G612G4601
27Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.G1161G4334G5100G4523G3588G483G1511G3361G386G1905G846
28"Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother.G3004G1320G3475G1125G2254G1437G5100G80G599G2192G1135G2532G3778G599G815G2443G846G80G2983G1135G2532G1817G4690G846G80
29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.G2258G3767G2033G80G2532G4413G2983G1135G599G815
30The secondG2532G1208G2983G1135G2532G3778G599G815
31and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.G2532G5154G2983G846G1161G5615G2033G2532G2641G3756G5043G2532G599
32Finally, the woman died too.G1161G5305G3956G1135G599G2532
33Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"G3767G1722G386G5101G1135G846G1096G1063G2033G2192G846G1135
34Jesus replied, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G5207G5127G165G1060G2532G1548
35But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,G1161G2661G5177G1565G165G2532G386G1537G3498G3777G1060G3777G1548
36and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.G3777G1063G1410G599G2089G1063G1526G2465G2532G1526G5207G2316G5607G5207G386
37But in the account of the bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'G1161G3754G3498G1453G2532G3475G3377G1909G942G5613G3004G2962G2316G11G2532G2316G2464G2532G2316G2384
38He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive."G1161G2076G3756G2316G3498G235G2198G1063G3956G2198G846
39Some of the teachers of the law responded, "Well said, teacher!"G1161G5100G1122G611G2036G1320G2573G2036
40And no one dared to ask him any more questions.G1161G3765G5111G3765G1905G846G3762
41Then Jesus said to them, "How is it that they say the Christ is the Son of David?G1161G2036G4314G846G4459G3004G5547G1511G1138G5207
42David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right handG2532G1138G846G3004G1722G976G5568G2962G2036G3450G2962G2521G1537G3450G1188
43until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." 'G2193G302G5087G4675G2190G4675G4228G5286
44David calls him 'Lord.' How then can he be his son?"G1138G3767G2564G846G2962G4459G2076G2532G846G5207
45While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,G1161G191G3956G2992G2036G846G3101
46"Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.G4337G575G1122G3588G2309G4043G1722G4749G2532G5368G783G1722G58G2532G4410G1722G4864G2532G4411G1722G1173
47They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely."G3739G2719G5503G3614G2532G4392G4336G3117G4336G3778G2983G4055G2917
