15 And they casted him out of the vineyard (or And they threw him out of the vineyard), and killed him. What shall then the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He shall come, and destroy these tillers, and give the vineyard to others. And when this thing was heard, they said to him, God forbid.
17 But he beheld them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which men building reproved, this is made into the head of the corner?
18 Each that shall fall on that stone, shall be bruised or shall be broken, but on whom it shall fall, it shall all-break him, or it shall break him into small parts, (or it shall break him all to pieces).
19 And the princes of (the) priests, and (the) scribes, sought to lay on him hands in that hour, or And the princes of the priests, and the scribes, sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they dreaded the people; for they knew that to them he said this likeness. (And the high priests, and the scribes, wanted to lay their hands on him at that time, but they feared the people; for they knew that he had said this parable about them.)
20 And they espied, and sent spies, that feigned themselves (to be) just, that they should take him in word, and betake him to the power of the prince, and to the power of the justice. (And they watched him, and sent spies, who pretended to be righteous, or honest men, so that they could catch him with his own words, and then deliver him unto the power and the authority of the Governor.)
21 And they asked him, and said, Master (or Teacher), we know, that rightly thou sayest and teachest, or Master, we know, that thou sayest and teachest rightly; and thou takest not the person of man (or and thou favourest not any person), but thou teachest in truth the way of God.
22 Is it leaveful to us to give tribute to the emperor, or to Caesar, or nay? (Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?)
23 And he beheld the deceit of them, and said to them, What tempt ye me? (or Why do you test me?)
24 Show ye to me a penny; whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and said to him, The emperor’s or Caesar’s.
25 And he said to them, Yield ye therefore to the emperor those things that be the emperor’s, or Yield ye therefore to Caesar those things that be Caesar’s, and those things that be of God, to God.
26 And they might not reprove his word before the people; and they wondered in his answer, and held (their) peace.
