Luke 20:14-28

¹⁴But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.

¹⁵And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁶He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!

¹⁷But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?

¹⁸Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

¹⁹And the chief priests and the scribes sought the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of them.

²⁰And having watched him, they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in his language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

²¹And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no man's person, but teachest with truth the way of God:

²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

²³But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me?

²⁴Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.

²⁵And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

²⁶And they were not able to take hold of him in his expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.

²⁷And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him,

²⁸demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.
