The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers

12Then He began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.G2532G756G3004G846G1722G3850G444G5452G290G2532G4060G5418G2532G3736G5276G2532G3618G4444G2532G1554G846G1554G1092G2532G5892"Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers.G2532G2540G649G4314G1092G1401G2443G2983G3844G1092G575G2590G2903"And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.G1161G2983G1194G846G2532G649G27564"Again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.G2532G3825G649G4314G846G243G1401G2548G3036G2775G2532G649G8215"And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.G2532G3825G649G243G2548G615G2532G4183G243G3303G1194G1161G6156"Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, 'They will respect my son.'G2192G2089G3767G1520G5207G846G27G649G846G2532G2078G4314G846G3004G3754G1788G3450G52077"But those vinedressers said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'G1161G1565G1092G2036G4314G1438G3754G3778G2076G2818G1205G615G846G2532G2817G2071G22578"So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.G2532G2983G846G615G2532G1544G1854G2909"Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.G5101G4160G3767G2962G290G4160G2064G2532G622G1092G2532G1325G290G24310"Have you not even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.G314G3761G314G5026G1124G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G1519G2776G113711This was the LORD'S doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?"G3778G1096G2962G1096G3844G2532G2076G2298G1722G2257G378812And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.G2532G2212G2902G846G2532G5399G3793G1063G1097G3754G2036G3850G4314G846G2532G863G846G565

The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?

13Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.G2532G649G4314G846G5100G5330G2532G2265G2443G64G846G305614When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?G1161G2064G3004G846G1320G1492G3754G1488G227G2532G4671G3756G3199G4012G3762G1063G991G3756G1519G4383G444G235G1321G3598G2316G1909G225G1832G1325G2778G2541G2228G375615"Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."G1325G2228G3361G1325G1161G1492G846G5272G2036G846G5101G3985G3165G5342G3427G1220G2443G149216So they brought it. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's."G1161G5342G2532G3004G846G5101G3778G1504G2532G1923G1161G2036G846G254117And Jesus answered and said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they marveled at Him.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G591G2541G3588G2541G2532G2316G3588G2316G2532G2296G1909G846

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?

18Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:G2532G2064G4314G846G4523G3748G3004G1511G3361G386G2532G1905G846G300419"Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.G1320G3475G1125G2254G3754G1437G5100G80G599G2532G2641G1135G2532G863G3361G5043G2443G846G80G2983G846G1135G2532G1817G4690G846G8020"Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring.G2258G2033G80G2532G4413G2983G1135G2532G599G863G3756G469021"And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise.G2532G1208G2983G846G2532G599G2532G3761G863G846G4690G2532G5154G561522"So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.G2532G2033G2983G846G2532G863G3756G4690G2078G3956G1135G599G253223"Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."G1722G386G3767G3752G450G5101G1135G2071G846G1063G2033G2192G846G113524Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?G2532G2424G611G2036G846G4105G3756G1223G5124G4105G1492G3361G1124G3366G1411G231625"For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.G1063G3752G450G1537G3498G3777G1060G3777G1061G235G1526G5613G32G3588G1722G377226"But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?G1161G4012G3498G3754G1453G314G3756G314G1722G976G3475G5613G1909G942G2316G2036G846G3004G1473G2316G11G2532G2316G2464G2532G2316G238427"He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken."G2076G3756G2316G3498G235G2316G2198G5210G3767G4105G4183G4105

The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?

28Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"G2532G1520G1122G4334G191G846G4802G1492G3754G611G846G2573G1905G846G4169G2076G4413G1785G395629Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.G1161G2424G611G846G3754G4413G3956G1785G191G2474G2962G2257G2316G2076G1520G296230'And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.G2532G25G2962G4675G2316G1537G3650G4675G2588G2532G1537G3650G4675G5590G2532G1537G3650G4675G1271G2532G1537G3650G4675G2479G3778G4413G178531"And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."G2532G1208G3664G3778G846G25G4675G4139G5613G4572G2076G3756G243G1785G3187G513032So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.G2532G1122G2036G846G2573G1320G2036G1909G225G3754G2076G1520G2316G2532G2076G3756G243G4133G84633"And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."G2532G25G846G1537G3650G2588G2532G1537G3650G4907G2532G1537G3650G5590G2532G1537G3650G2479G2532G25G4139G5613G1438G2076G4119G3956G3646G2532G237834Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him.G2532G2424G1492G3754G846G611G3562G2036G846G1488G3756G3112G575G932G2316G2532G3762G3765G5111G1905G846

Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?

35Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?G2532G2424G611G3004G1321G1722G2411G4459G3004G1122G3754G5547G2076G5207G113836"For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: 'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'G1063G1138G846G2036G1722G40G4151G2962G2036G3450G2962G2521G1537G3450G1188G2193G302G5087G4675G2190G4675G5286G422837"Therefore David himself calls Him 'Lord'; how is He then his Son?" And the common people heard Him gladly.G1138G3767G846G3004G846G2962G2532G4159G2076G846G5207G2532G4183G3793G191G846G2234

Beware of the Scribes

38Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,G2532G3004G846G1722G846G1322G991G575G1122G3588G2309G4043G1722G4749G2532G783G1722G5839"the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,G2532G4410G1722G4864G2532G4411G1722G117340"who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."G2719G5503G3614G2532G4392G4336G3117G4336G3778G2983G4055G2917

The Widow’s Two Mites

41Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much.G2532G2424G2523G2713G1049G2334G4459G3793G906G5475G1519G1049G2532G4183G4145G906G418342Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans.G2532G2064G3391G4434G5503G906G1417G3016G3603G283543So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;G2532G4341G846G3101G3004G846G281G3004G5213G3754G3778G4434G5503G906G4119G906G3956G906G1519G104944"for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood."G1063G3956G906G1537G846G4052G1161G3778G846G1537G846G5304G906G3956G3745G2192G3650G846G979
