Luke 20

CHAPTER 20 The Authority of Jesus Questioned

1 And it came to pass in one of those days, of his teaching the people in the temple, and announcing good news, [⁶stood by ¹the ²chief priests ³and ⁴the ⁵scribes] with the elders, 2 and they spoke to him, saying, Tell us! by what kind of authority do you do these things? or who is the one having given to you this authority? 3 And answering he said to them, [²will ask ³you ¹And I] one word, and you tell to me! 4 The immersion of John, [²from ³heaven ¹was it], or from men? 5 And they reckoned to themselves, saying that, If we should say from heaven; he shall say, Therefore why then did you not believe in him? 6 And if we should say, From men; all the people will completely stone us; [³persuaded ¹for ²they are] John to be a prophet. 7 And they answered, We do not know from where. 8 And Jesus said to them, Nor do I say to you by what authority I do these things.

The Parable of the Growers

9 And he began [²to ³the ⁴people ¹to speak] this parable, A certain man planted a vineyard, and handed it over to growers, and traveled abroad [²of time ¹a fit amount]. 10 And in the season he sent to the growers a servant that from the fruit of the vineyard they might give to him; but the growers having flayed him, sent him away empty. 11 And he proceeded to send forth another servant; but they [²that one also ¹having flayed] and dishonoring him, sent him away empty. 12 And he proceeded to send forth a third; but they [²also ³this one ¹having wounded], cast him out. 13 [⁶said ¹And ²the ³master ⁴of the ⁵vineyard], What shall I do? I will send forth my son, the beloved; perhaps beholding this one they will show respect. 14 But beholding him, the growers reasoned to themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, we should kill him, that [³becomes ours ¹the ²inheritance]. 15 And having cast him outside the vineyard they killed him. What then shall [⁵do ⁶to them ¹the ²master ³of the ⁴vineyard]? 16 He shall come and shall destroy those growers, and he will give the vineyard to others. And having heard, they said, May it not be. 17 And looking to them, he said, What then is this having been written, The stone which [³rejected ¹the ones ²building], this is become for head of the corner. 18 Every one falling upon that stone shall be fractured in pieces, [⁵upon ²whom ¹but ³ever ⁴it should fall], it will winnow him. 19 And [⁶sought ¹the ²chief priests ³and ⁴the ⁵scribes] to put [²upon ³him ¹hands] in that same hour, and they feared; for they knew that [³against ⁴them ²this parable ¹he spoke]. 20 And closely watching, they sent ones lying in wait, pretending themselves to be righteous, that they should take hold of his word for delivering him up to the sovereignty, and to the authority of the governor.

Give unto Caesar

21 And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that rightly you speak and teach, and do not take face, but in truth the way of God you teach. 22 Is it allowed for us [³to Caesar ²tribute ¹to give] or not? 23 But contemplating their cunning, he said to them, Why do you test me? 24 Display to me a denarius; whose [⁴does it have ¹image ²and ³inscription]? And answering they said, Caesar. 25 And he said to them, Give back therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God. 26 And they were not able to take hold of his saying before the people; and marveling over his answer, they were quiet.

Jesus Questioned Concerning the Resurrection

27 But coming forward, a certain one of the Sadducees, the ones speaking against a resurrection, claiming it not to be, asked him, 28 saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If anyone's brother should die having a wife, and he [²childless ¹should die], that [²should take ¹his brother] the wife, and should raise up seed to his brother. 29 [²then seven ³brothers ¹There were], and the first having taken a wife died childless. 30 And [³took ¹the ²second] the wife, and he died childless. 31 And the third took her, and likewise also the seven; and they did not leave children, and they died. 32 And afterwards all died and the woman. 33 In then the resurrection, which of them does she become wife? for the seven had her as wife. 34 And answering [²said ³to them ¹Jesus], The sons of this age marry and give in marriage. 35 But the ones being deemed worthy of that age to attain and of the resurrection of the ones from the dead, neither marry nor give in marriage. 36 For neither [²to die ³any longer ¹are they able], [³like angels ¹for ²they are], and they are sons of God, [³of the ⁴resurrection ²sons ¹being]. 37 But that [³be raised ¹the ²dead], even Moses indicated at the bush, as he says, The Lord God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 But God is not of the dead, but of living ones; for all live to him. 39 And answering some of the scribes said, Teacher, well you spoke.

The Christ

40 And no longer they dared to ask him anything. 41 And he said to them, How do they say the Christ [²the son ³of David ¹to be]? 42 And he, David says in the book of Psalms; [³said ¹The ²Lord] to my Lord, sit down at my right, 43 until whenever I put your enemies as a footstool for your feet. 44 David then [²him Lord ¹calls], so how [²his son ¹is he]? 45 [⁵hearing ¹And ²all ³the ⁴people], he said to his disciples, 46 Take heed of the scribes, of the ones wanting to walk in robes, and being fond of greetings in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first place in the suppers; 47 the ones who devour the houses of the widows, and for an excuse [²long ¹they pray]. These shall receive extra judgment.
