Luke Chapter 20

            ¹ And it-happened on one of-the days, he teaching the people in the temple and preaching (that) the chief-priests and the scribes with the elders confronted (him), ² and they-said, saying to him,

“Tell us, by what authority you-are-doing these-things, or who is the-one having-given you [the] this authority?”

³ And having-answered, he-said to them, “I-also will-ask you (a) matter, and tell me: ⁴Was the baptism of-John from heaven or from men?”

⁵ And the/they reasoned with one-another, saying [that], “If we-say, ‘From heaven,’ he-will-say, ‘On-account-of what did-you┘not└believe him?’ ⁶ But if we-say, ‘From men,’ all the multitude will-stone us,” for it/they-were persuaded John to-be (a) prophet. ⁷ And they-answered not to-know whence.

⁸ And [the] Jesus said to-them, “Neither will┘I└tell you by what authority I-am-doing these-things.”

            ⁹ And he-began to-say [the] this parable to-the crowd:

“(A)-certain man planted (a) vineyard and he-rented it to-tenants, and went-away-on-a-journey for-(a)-long time[s]. ¹⁰ And at-the time-(of harvest), he-sent to the tenants (a) servant in-order-that they-might-give him from the fruit of-the vineyard. But the tenants, having-beat-(him)-up, sent┘him└away empty. ¹¹ And he-proceeded to-sent another servant, but the-ones having-beat┘that-one^┘┘└up ^└└also and having-treated (him) shamefully, sent┘him└away empty. ¹² And he-proceeded to-sent (a) third, and this-one also the/they, having-wounded, cast-out. ¹³ and the lord of-the vineyard said, ‘What shall-I-do? I-will-sent the beloved [the] son of-me. Perhaps they-will-respect this-one.’ ¹⁴ And having-seen him, the tenants reasoned to one-another, saying, ‘This is the heir. Let-us-kill him, in-order-that the inheritance may-be of-us.’ ¹⁵ And having-thrown him outside the vineyard, they-killed (him). What then will┘the lord of-the vineyard└do to-them? ¹⁶ He-will-come and destroy [the] these tenants, and he-will-give the vineyard to-others.”

And having-heard, they-said, “May-it┘not└be!”

¹⁷ And the/he, having-heard, said to-them, “What then is [the] this-thing written,

‘(The) stone that the-ones building rejected—

                                                this-one became [for] (the) head of-(the)-corner?”

¹⁸ Every one having-fallen on that [the] stone will-be-bruised, and on whom it┘should└fall, it-will-crush him.”

¹⁹ And the scribes and the chief-priests sought to-put the/their hands on him in the very hour, and they-feared the people, for they-knew that he-spoke [the] this parable to them.

            ²⁰ And having-watched┘(him)└closely, they-sent spies pretending themselves to-be righteous, in-order-that they-might-take-hold of-(the)-word of-him, so-as to-deliver him to-the rule and the authority of-the governor. ²¹ And they-asked him, saying,

“Teacher, we-know that you-speak and teach forthrightly, and do┘not└receive face, but you-teach in truth/truthfully the way of-[the] God. ²² Is-it-lawful for-us to-pay tribute to-Caesar or not?”

²³ Having-detected the trickery of-them, he-said to them, ²⁴ “Show me (a) denarius. Whose image and inscription does-it-have?”

And the/they said, “Caesar’s.”

²⁵ And the/he said to them, “So pay the-things of-Caesar to-Caesar and the-things of-[the] God to-God.”

²⁶ And they-were┘not└able to-latch-on (the) word of-him before the people; and having-marveled at the answer of-him, they-became-silent.

            ²⁷ And some of-the Sadducees having-come—the-ones denying resurrection [not] to-be—asked him, ²⁸ saying,

“Teacher, Moses wrote to-us,

‘If (a) brother of-somebody having (a) wife,

                                                and this-one is childless,

                                                [in-order]-that the brother of-him take the woman

                                                and raise-up seed to-the brother of-him.’

²⁹ So seven brothers were. And the first, having-taken (a) wife, died childless. ³⁰ And the second ³¹ and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did┘not└leave-behind children, and they-died. ³² Last the woman also died. ³³ So the woman is the wife of-which of-them in the resurrection? For the seven had her as-a-wife.”

³⁴ And [the] Jesus said to-them,

“The sons of-[the] this age marry and are-given-in-marriage, ³⁵ and the-ones having-been-considered-worthy to-obtain [the] that age and of-the resurrection [the] of (the) dead neither marry nor are-given-in-marriage. ³⁶ For neither are-they-able still to-die, for they-are like-angels and are sons of-God, being sons of-the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead rise, Moses also showed at the bush (passage) when he-says,

‘ . . . Lord the God of-Abraham,

                        and (the) God of-Isaac,

                        and (the) God of-Jacob.’

³⁸ But he-is not (a) God of-(the)-dead but of-(the)-living, for all live to-him.” ³⁹ And having-answered, some of-the scribes said, “Teacher, you-spoke well.”

⁴⁰ For no-longer were-they-daring to-ask him nothing/anything.

            ⁴¹ And he-said to them,

“How do-they-say the Messiah to-be/is (the) son of-David?” ⁴² For David himself says in (the) Book of-Psalms,

‘(The) Lord said to-the Lord of-me,

                                    “Sit on (the) right[s] of-me,

                        ⁴³ until² I-put the enemies of-you

                                    under the feet of-you.’

⁴⁴ So David calls him Lord, and how is-he Son of-him?”

            ⁴⁵ And all the people having-heard, he-said to-the disciples [of-him]^ms, ⁴⁶ “Beware of the scribes the-ones desiring to-walk-around in robes and loving greetings in the market-place and main-seats in the synagogues and chief-seats at [the] feasts, ⁴⁷ who devour the houses of-[the] widows and for-show offer┘long└prayers. These will-receive more-severe condemnation.”
