20One day as He was teaching the people in the temple complex and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upG2532G1096G1722G3391G1565G2250G846G1321G2992G1722G2411G2532G2097G749G2532G1122G2186G4862G42452and said to Him: "Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Who is it who gave You this authority?"G2532G2036G4314G846G3004G2036G2254G1722G4169G1849G4160G5023G2228G5101G2076G1325G4671G5026G18493He answered them, "I will also ask you a question. Tell Me,G1161G611G2036G4314G846G2504G2065G2504G2065G5209G1520G3056G2532G2036G34274was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?"G908G2491G2258G1537G3772G2228G1537G4445They discussed it among themselves: "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why didn't you believe him?'G1161G4817G4314G1438G3004G3754G1437G2036G1537G3772G2046G1302G3767G4100G846G37566But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet."G1161G1437G2036G1537G444G3956G2992G2642G2248G1063G2076G3982G2491G1511G43967So they answered that they did not know its origin.G2532G611G1492G3361G1492G41598And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."G2532G2424G2036G846G3761G3004G1473G5213G1722G4169G1849G4160G50239Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went away for a long time.G1161G756G3004G4314G2992G5026G3850G5100G444G5452G290G2532G1554G846G1554G1092G2532G589G2425G555010At harvest time he sent a slave to the farmers so that they might give him some fruit from the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.G2532G1722G2540G649G1401G4314G1092G2443G1325G846G575G2590G290G1161G1092G1194G846G1821G275611He sent yet another slave, but they beat that one too, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.G2532G4369G3992G2087G1401G1161G1194G2548G2532G818G1821G275612And he sent yet a third, but they wounded this one too and threw him out.G2532G4369G3992G5154G1161G5135G5126G2532G154413"Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What should I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.'G1161G2036G2962G290G5101G4160G3992G3450G27G5207G2481G1788G1492G512614"But when the tenant farmers saw him, they discussed it among themselves and said, 'This is the heir. Let's kill him, so the inheritance will be ours!'G1161G1092G1492G846G1260G4314G1438G3004G3778G2076G2818G1205G615G846G2443G2817G1096G225715So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. "Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?G2532G1544G846G1854G290G615G5101G3767G4160G2962G290G4160G84616He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others." But when they heard this they said, "No— never!"G2064G2532G622G5128G1092G2532G1325G290G243G1161G191G2036G3361G109617But He looked at them and said, "Then what is the meaning of this Scripture: The stone that the builders rejected— this has become the cornerstone?G1161G1689G846G2036G5101G2076G5124G3767G1125G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G2776G1519G113718Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and if it falls on anyone, it will grind him to powder!"G3956G4098G1909G1565G3037G4917G1161G1909G3739G302G4098G3039G846G303919Then the scribes and the chief priests looked for a way to get their hands on Him that very hour, because they knew He had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.G2532G749G2532G1122G1722G846G5610G2212G1911G5495G1909G846G2532G5399G2992G1063G1097G3754G2036G5026G3850G4314G84620They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so they could catch Him in what He said, to hand Him over to the governor's rule and authority.G2532G3906G649G1455G5271G1511G1438G1342G2443G1949G846G3056G1519G3860G846G746G2532G1849G223221They questioned Him, "Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You don't show partiality, but teach truthfully the way of God.G2532G1905G846G3004G1320G1492G3754G3004G2532G1321G3723G2532G3756G2983G4383G235G1321G3598G2316G225G190922Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"G1832G2254G1325G5411G2541G2228G375623But detecting their craftiness, He said to them,G1161G2657G846G3834G2036G4314G846G5101G3985G316524"Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?" "Caesar's," they said.G1925G3427G1220G5101G1504G2532G1923G2192G611G1161G2036G254125"Well then," He told them, "give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's."G1161G2036G846G591G5106G2541G3588G2541G2532G2316G3588G231626They were not able to catch Him in what He said in public, and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.G2532G2480G3756G1949G846G4487G1726G2992G2532G2296G1909G846G612G460127Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned Him:G1161G4334G5100G4523G3588G483G1511G3361G386G1905G84628"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.G3004G1320G3475G1125G2254G1437G5100G80G599G2192G1135G2532G3778G599G815G2443G846G80G2983G1135G2532G1817G4690G846G8029Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children.G2258G3767G2033G80G2532G4413G2983G1135G599G81530Also the secondG2532G1208G2983G1135G2532G3778G599G81531and the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children.G2532G5154G2983G846G1161G5615G2033G2532G2641G3756G5043G2532G59932Finally, the woman died too.G1161G5305G3956G1135G599G253233Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her."G3767G1722G386G5101G1135G846G1096G1063G2033G2192G846G113534Jesus told them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G5207G5127G165G1060G2532G154835But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.G1161G2661G5177G1565G165G2532G386G1537G3498G3777G1060G3777G154836For they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.G3777G1063G1410G599G2089G1063G1526G2465G2532G1526G5207G2316G5607G5207G38637Moses even indicated [in the passage] about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.G1161G3754G3498G1453G2532G3475G3377G1909G942G5613G3004G2962G2316G11G2532G2316G2464G2532G2316G238438He is not God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to Him."G1161G2076G3756G2316G3498G235G2198G1063G3956G2198G84639Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, You have spoken well."G1161G5100G1122G611G2036G1320G2573G203640And they no longer dared to ask Him anything.G1161G3765G5111G3765G1905G846G376241Then He said to them, "How can they say that the Messiah is the Son of David?G1161G2036G4314G846G4459G3004G5547G1511G1138G520742For David himself says in the Book of Psalms: The Lord declared to my Lord, 'Sit at My right handG2532G1138G846G3004G1722G976G5568G2962G2036G3450G2962G2521G1537G3450G118843until I make Your enemies Your footstool.'G2193G302G5087G4675G2190G4675G4228G528644David calls Him 'Lord'; how then can the Messiah be his Son?"G1138G3767G2564G846G2962G4459G2076G2532G846G520745While all the people were listening, He said to His disciples,G1161G191G3956G2992G2036G846G310146"Beware of the scribes, who want to go around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces, the front seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.G4337G575G1122G3588G2309G4043G1722G4749G2532G5368G783G1722G58G2532G4410G1722G4864G2532G4411G1722G117347They devour widows' houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive greater punishment."G3739G2719G5503G3614G2532G4392G4336G3117G4336G3778G2983G4055G2917
