1And 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,studyinterlinear
2And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?studyinterlinear
3And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:studyinterlinear
4The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?studyinterlinear
5And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?studyinterlinear
6But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.studyinterlinear
7And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.studyinterlinear
8And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.studyinterlinear
9Then 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.studyinterlinear
10And 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.studyinterlinear
11And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.studyinterlinear
12And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.studyinterlinear
13Then 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.studyinterlinear
14But 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.studyinterlinear
15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?studyinterlinear
16He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.studyinterlinear
17And 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?studyinterlinear
18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.studyinterlinear
19And 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.studyinterlinear
20And 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.studyinterlinear
21And 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:studyinterlinear
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?studyinterlinear
23But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?studyinterlinear
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.studyinterlinear
25And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.studyinterlinear
26And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.studyinterlinear
27Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,studyinterlinear
28Saying, 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.studyinterlinear
29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.studyinterlinear
30And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.studyinterlinear
31And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.studyinterlinear
32Last of all the woman died also.studyinterlinear
33Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.studyinterlinear
34And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:studyinterlinear
35But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:studyinterlinear
36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.studyinterlinear
37Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.studyinterlinear
38For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.studyinterlinear
39Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.studyinterlinear
40And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.studyinterlinear
41And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?studyinterlinear
42And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,studyinterlinear
43Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.studyinterlinear
44David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?studyinterlinear
45Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,studyinterlinear
46Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;studyinterlinear
47Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.studyinterlinear
