< Luke 20 >

1 And it came to pass on one of the days (of those *k) when is teaching He the people in the temple and evangelising came up the (chief priests *NK+o) and the scribes with the elders
And on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching, the chief priests and Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him,
2 and spoke saying to Him: do tell us by what authority these things You do or who is the [one] having given to You authority this?
and said to him: Tell us, by what authority thou doest these things? And who is it, that gave thee this authority?
3 Answering now He said to them; Will ask you I myself also I myself also (one *k) thing, and do tell Me:
Jesus answered, and said to them: I also will ask you a word, and tell ye me.
4 The baptism of John from heaven was it or from men?
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5 And they reasoned among themselves saying that If we shall say: From heaven, He will say; Because of why (therefore *K) not did you believe in him?
And they reasoned with themselves, and said: If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, And why did ye not believe him?
6 If however we shall say; From men, the people (all *N+kO) will stone us; persuaded for they are John a prophet to be.
But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered not to know from where.
And they said to him: We do not know, whence it was.
8 And Jesus said to them; Neither I myself tell you by what authority these things I am doing.
Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.
9 He began then to the people to speak parable this: A man (certain *NK) planted a vineyard and rented it to farmers and went abroad a time long.
And he began to utter this similitude to the people: A certain man planted a vineyard, and leased it to cultivators, and went abroad for a long time.
10 And (in *k) [in the] season he sent to the farmers a servant that from the fruit of the vineyard (they will give *N+kO) to him; But the farmers sent away him having beaten [him] empty-handed.
And in time, he sent his servant to the cultivators, that they might give him of the fruits of the vineyard. But the cultivators beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 And he proceeded another to send a servant; but him him having beaten and having dishonored they sent away empty-handed.
And again he sent another servant; and him also they beat, and treated with rudeness, and sent empty away.
12 And he proceeded a third to send; They then also him having wounded they cast out.
And again he sent the third. And they wounded him, and cast him out.
13 Said then the master of the vineyard; What shall I do? I will send the son of mine the beloved; perhaps him (having seen *K) they will respect.
The lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my dear son. Perhaps they will look upon him, and be ashamed.
14 Having seen now him the farmers were reasoning among (one another *N+kO) saying; This is the heir; (come *K) let us kill him so that ours may become the inheritance.
But when the cultivators saw him, they reasoned with themselves, and said: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
15 And having cast forth him outside the vineyard they killed [him]. What therefore will do to them the master of the vineyard?
And they cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come and he will destroy farmers these and will give the vineyard to others. Having heard [it] then they said; Never would it be!
He will come, and destroy those cultivators, and will lease the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said: This shall not be.
17 But having looked at them He said; What then is that written this: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become into [the] head of [the] corner’?
And he looked upon them, and said: What is that which is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, is become the chief corner stone?
18 Everyone falling on that [very] stone will be broken; on whomever but maybe it may fall, it will grind into powder him.
And whoever shall fall upon this stone, will be broken; and on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him in pieces.
19 And sought the scribes and the chief priests to lay on Him hands in that hour and they feared the people; they perceived for that against them He was speaking parable this.
And the chief priests and Scribes sought to lay hands on him, at that time; but they were afraid of the people; for they knew, that he spoke this similitude against them.
20 And having watched [Him] they sent spies feigning themselves righteous to be, that they may catch Him in talk, (in order *N+kO) to deliver Him to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
And they sent to him spies, who feigned themselves righteous men, that they might insnare him in discourse, and deliver him up to a court, and to the authority of the president.
21 And they questioned Him saying; Teacher, we know that rightly You speak and You teach and not You receive [any] person but on the basis of truth the way of God teach.
And they questioned him, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou speakest and teachest correctly, and hast no respect of persons, but teachest the way of God in truth.
22 Is it lawful (for us *N+kO) to Caesar tribute to give or not?
Is it lawful for us to pay head-money to Caesar, or not?
23 having perceived however of them the craftiness He said to them (why *KO) (me do you test; *K)
But he perceived their craftiness, and said: Why tempt ye me?
24 (do show *N+kO) Me a denarius; Of whom has it [the] image and inscription? (Those *N+KO) And they said; Caesar’s.
Show me a denarius. Whose is this image and superscription upon it? They said to him, Caesar's.
25 And He said (to *no) (them; *N+kO) Therefore do give back the [things] of Caesar to Caesar and the [things] of God to God.
Jesus said to them: Then, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.
26 And not they were able to catch Him in (His *NK+o) declaration before the people, and having marveled at the answer of Him they became silent.
And they could not catch from him a word of accusation before the people: and they were surprised at his answers, and were silent.
27 Having approached then some of the Sadducees, the ones (denying *NK+o) a resurrection not being, they questioned Him
And some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came and questioned him,
28 saying; Teacher, Moses wrote to us: if anyone’s brother shall die having a wife and he childless (shall be, *N+KO) that shall take the brother of him the wife and shall raise up seed to the brother of him.
and said to him: Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, who had a wife without children, his surviving brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his deceased brother.
29 Seven therefore brothers there were; and the first having taken a wife died childless,
Now, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 and (took *K) the second (wife and this died childless *K)
And the second took her to wife; and he died without children.
31 and the third took her (likewise *o) likewise then also the seven not did leave children and died.
And again, the third took her, and in like manner also all the seven; and they died, and left no children.
32 Finally (now of all *K) also the woman died.
At last, the woman likewise died.
33 (The woman *no) therefore in the resurrection, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.
In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife, for the seven took her?
34 And (answering *k) said to them Jesus; The sons of the age this marry and (are given in marriage, *N+kO) (aiōn g165)
Jesus said to them: The children of this world take wives, and wives are given to husbands. (aiōn g165)
35 those however having been considered worthy of the age that [one] to obtain and of the resurrection from [the] dead neither marry nor (are given in marriage; *N+k+o) (aiōn g165)
But they who are worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands. (aiōn g165)
36 (neither *N+kO) for to die any more are they able, like [the] angels for they are, and sons they are of God of the resurrection sons being.
Neither can they die any more; for they are as the angels, and are the children of God, because they are children of the resurrection.
37 for however are raised the dead, even Moses showed at the bush when he names [the] Lord the God of Abraham and (the *k) God of Isaac and (the *k) God of Jacob.’
But that the dead will arise, even Moses showed; for, at the bush, he maketh mention, while he saith: The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 God now not He is of [the] dead but of [the] living; all for to Him live.
Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for they all live to him.
39 Answering now some of the scribes said; Teacher, well you have spoken.
And some of the Scribes answered, and said to him: Teacher, thou hast spoken well.
40 no longer no longer (then *N+kO) were they daring to ask Him no [thing].
And they did not again venture to question him, on any matter.
41 He said then to them; How do they declare the Christ to be David's Son
And he said also to them: How do the Scribes say of Messiah, that he is the son of David?
42 (and *ko) Himself (for *no) David says in [the] book of Psalms: Said (the *ko) Lord to the Lord of me; do sit at [the] right hand of Me
And David himself said, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, seat thyself at my right hand,
43 until when I may place the enemies of You [as] a footstool of the feet of You.
until I shall place thy foes under thy feet.
44 David therefore Lord Him calls, and how of him son is He?
If David, therefore, called him, My Lord; how is he his son?
45 When are listening now all the people He said to the disciples of Him;
And while all the people heard, he said to his disciples:
46 do beware of the scribes who are desiring to walk in long robes and loving greetings in the marketplaces and first seats in the synagogues and first places in the banquets,
Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love a salutation in the streets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at suppers:
47 who devour the houses of widows and as a pretext at great length pray; These will receive more excessive condemnation.
who eat up the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. They will receive a greater condemnation.
