020:001

And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority

020:002

And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me

020:003

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men

020:004

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not

020:005

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet

020:006

And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was

020:007

And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things

020:008

Then 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

020:009

And 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

020:010

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty

020:011

And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out

020:012

Then 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

020:013

But 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

020:014

So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them

020:015

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid

020:016

And 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

020:017

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder

020:018

And 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

020:019

And 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

020:020

And 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

020:021

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no

020:022

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me

020:023

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's

020:024

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's

020:025

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace

020:026

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him

020:027

Saying, 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

020:028

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children

020:029

And the second took her to wife, and he died childless

020:030

And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died

020:031

Last of all the woman died also

020:032

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife

020:033

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage

020:034

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage

020:035

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection

020:036

Now 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

020:037

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him

020:038

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said

020:039

And after that they durst not ask him any question at all

020:040

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son

020:041

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand

020:042

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool

020:043

David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son

020:044

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples

020:045

Beware 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

020:046

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation
