20:1 And 2532 it came to pass 1096 5633, [that] on 1722 one 3391 of those 1565 days 2250, as he 846 taught 1321 5723 the people 2992 in 1722 the temple 2411, and 2532 preached the gospel 2097 5734, the chief priests 749 and 2532 the scribes 1122 came upon 2186 5627 [him] with 4862 the elders 4245,

20:2 And 2532 spake 2036 5627 unto 4314 him 846, saying 3004 5723, Tell 2036 5628 us 2254, by 1722 what 4169 authority 1849 doest thou 4160 5719 these things 5023? or 2228 who 5101 is he 2076 5748 that gave 1325 5631 thee 4671 this 5026 authority 1849?

20:3 And 1161 he answered 611 5679 and said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, I 2504 0 will 2065 0 also 2504 ask 2065 5692 you 5209 one 1520 thing 3056; and 2532 answer 2036 5628 me 3427:

20:4 The baptism 908 of John 2491, was it 2258 5713 from 1537 heaven 3772, or 2228 of 1537 men 444?

20:5 And 1161 they reasoned 4817 5662 with 4314 themselves 1438, saying 3004 5723, 3754 If 1437 we shall say 2036 5632, From 1537 heaven 3772; he will say 2046 5692, Why 1302 then 3767 believed ye 4100 5656 him 846 not 3756?

20:6 But and 1161 if 1437 we say 2036 5632, Of 1537 men 444; all 3956 the people 2992 will stone 2642 5692 us 2248: for 1063 they be 2076 5748 persuaded 3982 5772 that John 2491 was 1511 5750 a prophet 4396.

20:7 And 2532 they answered 611 5662, that they could 1492 0 not 3361 tell 1492 5760 whence 4159 [it was].

20:8 And 2532 Jesus 2424 said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Neither 3761 tell 3004 5719 I 1473 you 5213 by 1722 what 4169 authority 1849 I do 4160 5719 these things 5023.

20:9 Then 1161 began he 756 5662 to speak 3004 5721 to 4314 the people 2992 this 5026 parable 3850; A certain 5100 man 444 planted 5452 5656 a vineyard 290, and 2532 let 1554 0 it 846 forth 1554 5639 to husbandmen 1092, and 2532 went into a far country 589 5656 for a long 2425 time 5550.

20:10 And 2532 at 1722 the season 2540 he sent 649 5656 a servant 1401 to 4314 the husbandmen 1092, that 2443 they should give 1325 5632 him 846 of 575 the fruit 2590 of the vineyard 290: but 1161 the husbandmen 1092 beat 1194 5660 him 846, and sent [him] away 1821 5656 empty 2756.

20:11 And 2532 again 4369 5639 he sent 3992 5658 another 2087 servant 1401: and 1161 they beat 1194 5660 him also 2548, and 2532 entreated [him] shamefully 818 5660, and sent [him] away 1821 5656 empty 2756.

20:12 And 2532 again 4369 5639 he sent 3992 5658 a third 5154: and 1161 they wounded 5135 5660 him 5126 also 2532, and cast [him] out 1544 5627.

20:13 Then 1161 said 2036 5627 the lord 2962 of the vineyard 290, What 5101 shall I do 4160 5661? I will send 3992 5692 my 3450 beloved 27 son 5207: it may be 2481 they will reverence 1788 5691 [him] when they see 1492 5631 him 5126.

20:14 But 1161 when the husbandmen 1092 saw 1492 5631 him 846, they reasoned 1260 5711 among 4314 themselves 1438, saying 3004 5723, This 3778 is 2076 5748 the heir 2818: come 1205 5773, let us kill 615 5725 him 846, that 2443 the inheritance 2817 may be 1096 5638 ours 2257.

20:15 So 2532 they cast 1544 5631 him 846 out of 1854 the vineyard 290, and killed 615 5656 [him]. What 5101 therefore 3767 shall 4160 0 the lord 2962 of the vineyard 290 do 4160 5692 unto them 846?

20:16 He shall come 2064 5695 and 2532 destroy 622 5692 these 5128 husbandmen 1092, and 2532 shall give 1325 5692 the vineyard 290 to others 243. And 1161 when they heard 191 5660 [it], they said 2036 5627, God forbid 3361 1096 5636.

20:17 And 1161 he beheld 1689 5660 them 846, and said 2036 5627, What 5101 is 2076 5748 this 5124 then 3767 that is written 1125 5772, The stone 3037 which 3739 the builders 3618 5723 rejected 593 5656, the same 3778 is become 1096 5675 the head 2776 of 1519 the corner 1137?

20:18 Whosoever 3956 shall fall 4098 5631 upon 1909 that 1565 stone 3037 shall be broken 4917 5701; but 1161 on 1909 whomsoever 3739 302 it shall fall 4098 5632, it will grind 3039 0 him 846 to powder 3039 5692.

20:19 And 2532 the chief priests 749 and 2532 the scribes 1122 the same 1722 846 hour 5610 sought 2212 5656 to lay 1911 5629 hands 5495 on 1909 him 846; and 2532 they feared 5399 5675 the people 2992: for 1063 they perceived 1097 5627 that 3754 he had spoken 2036 5627 this 5026 parable 3850 against 4314 them 846.

20:20 And 2532 they watched 3906 5660 [him], and sent forth 649 5656 spies 1455, which should feign 5271 5740 1511 5750 themselves 1438 just men 1342, that 2443 they might take hold 1949 5638 of his 846 words 3056, that so 1519 they might deliver 3860 5629 him 846 unto the power 746 and 2532 authority 1849 of the governor 2232.

20:21 And 2532 they asked 1905 5656 him 846, saying 3004 5723, Master 1320, we know 1492 5758 that 3754 thou sayest 3004 5719 and 2532 teachest 1321 5719 rightly 3723, 2532 neither 3756 acceptest thou 2983 5719 the person 4383 [of any], but 235 teachest 1321 5719 the way 3598 of God 2316 truly 225 1909:(truly: or, of a truth)

20:22 Is it lawful 1832 5748 for us 2254 to give 1325 5629 tribute 5411 unto Caesar 2541, or 2228 no 3756?

20:23 But 1161 he perceived 2657 5660 their 846 craftiness 3834, and said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, Why 5101 tempt ye 3985 5719 me 3165?

20:24 Shew 1925 5657 me 3427 a penny 1220. Whose 5101 image 1504 and 2532 superscription 1923 hath it 2192 5719? They answered 611 5679 and 1161 said 2036 5627, Caesar's 2541.

20:25 And 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Render 591 5628 therefore 5106 unto Caesar 2541 the things which be 3588 Caesar's 2541, and 2532 unto God 2316 the things which be 3588 God's 2316.

20:26 And 2532 they could 2480 5656 not 3756 take hold 1949 5635 of his 846 words 4487 before 1726 the people 2992: and 2532 they marvelled 2296 5660 at 1909 his 846 answer 612, and held their peace 4601 5656.

20:27 Then 1161 came 4334 5631 to [him] certain 5100 of the Sadducees 4523, which 3588 deny 483 5723 that there is 1511 5750 any 3361 resurrection 386; and they asked 1905 5656 him 846,

20:28 Saying 3004 5723, Master 1320, Moses 3475 wrote 1125 5656 unto us 2254, If 1437 any man's 5100 brother 80 die 599 5632, having 2192 5723 a wife 1135, and 2532 he 3778 die 599 5632 without children 815, that 2443 his 846 brother 80 should take 2983 5632 his wife 1135, and 2532 raise up 1817 5661 seed 4690 unto his 846 brother 80.

20:29 There were 2258 5713 therefore 3767 seven 2033 brethren 80: and 2532 the first 4413 took 2983 5631 a wife 1135, and died 599 5627 without children 815.

20:30 And 2532 the second 1208 took 2983 5627 her to wife 1135, and 2532 he 3778 died 599 5627 childless 815.

20:31 And 2532 the third 5154 took 2983 5627 her 846; and 1161 in like manner 5615 the seven 2033 also 2532: and they left 2641 5627 no 3756 children 5043, and 2532 died 599 5627.

20:32 1161 Last 5305 of all 3956 the woman 1135 died 599 5627 also 2532.

20:33 Therefore 3767 in 1722 the resurrection 386 whose 5101 wife 1135 of them 846 is she 1096 5736? for 1063 seven 2033 had 2192 5627 her 846 to wife 1135.

20:34 And 2532 Jesus 2424 answering 611 5679 said 2036 5627 unto them 846, The children 5207 of this 5127 world 165 marry 1060 5719, and 2532 are given in marriage 1548 5743:

20:35 But 1161 they which shall be accounted worthy 2661 5685 to obtain 5177 5629 that 1565 world 165, and 2532 the resurrection 386 from 1537 the dead 3498, neither 3777 marry 1060 5719, nor 3777 are given in marriage 1548 5743:

20:36 Neither 3777 1063 can 1410 5736 they die 599 5629 any more 2089: for 1063 they are 1526 5748 equal unto the angels 2465; and 2532 are 1526 5748 the children 5207 of God 2316, being 5607 5752 the children 5207 of the resurrection 386.

20:37 Now 1161 that 3754 the dead 3498 are raised 1453 5743, even 2532 Moses 3475 shewed 3377 5656 at 1909 the bush 942, when 5613 he calleth 3004 5719 the Lord 2962 the God 2316 of Abraham 11, and 2532 the God 2316 of Isaac 2464, and 2532 the God 2316 of Jacob 2384.

20:38 For 1161 he is 2076 5748 not 3756 a God 2316 of the dead 3498, but 235 of the living 2198 5723: for 1063 all 3956 live 2198 5719 unto him 846.

20:39 Then 1161 certain 5100 of the scribes 1122 answering 611 5679 said 2036 5627, Master 1320, thou hast well 2573 said 2036 5627.

20:40 And 1161 after that 3765 0 they durst 5111 5707 not 3765 ask 1905 5721 him 846 any 3762 [question at all].

20:41 And 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, How 4459 say 3004 5719 they that Christ 5547 is 1511 5750 David's 1138 son 5207?

20:42 And 2532 David 1138 himself 846 saith 3004 5719 in 1722 the book 976 of Psalms 5568, The LORD 2962 said 2036 5627 unto my 3450 Lord 2962, Sit thou 2521 5737 on 1537 my 3450 right hand 1188,

20:43 Till 2193 302 I make 5087 5632 thine 4675 enemies 2190 thy 4675 footstool 4228 5286.

20:44 David 1138 therefore 3767 calleth 2564 5719 him 846 Lord 2962, how 4459 is he 2076 5748 then 2532 his 846 son 5207?

20:45 Then 1161 in the audience 191 5723 of all 3956 the people 2992 he said 2036 5627 unto his 846 disciples 3101,

20:46 Beware 4337 5720 of 575 the scribes 1122, which 3588 desire 2309 5723 to walk 4043 5721 in 1722 long robes 4749, and 2532 love 5368 5723 greetings 783 in 1722 the markets 58, and 2532 the highest seats 4410 in 1722 the synagogues 4864, and 2532 the chief rooms 4411 at 1722 feasts 1173;

20:47 Which 3739 devour 2719 5719 widows' 5503 houses 3614, and 2532 for a shew 4392 make 4336 0 long 3117 prayers 4336 5736: the same 3778 shall receive 2983 5695 greater 4055 damnation 2917.
