6But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7And they answered, that they did not know whence it was.
8And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time.
10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
11And he sent still another servant; and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12And he went on to send a third; and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.
14But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.
15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this, they said, God forbid!
17But he, looking upon them, said, What then is this which is written, “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the corner-stone”?
18Every one who falleth upon that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falleth, it will grind him to powder.
19And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that hour, but they feared the people; for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20And they kept watch on him, and sent forth spies feigning themselves to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the civil power and to the authority of the governor.
21And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and hast no regard to the person of men, but teachest the way of God truly.
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23But perceiving their craftiness, he said to them,
24Show me a denary. Whose image and inscription hath it? And they answered and said, Caesar's.
25And he said to them, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
26And they could not take hold of his words before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
27Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to him, and asked him,
28saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, “If a man's brother die, having a wife, and the same die without children, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.”
29Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless.
30And the second
31and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven left no children, and died.
32At last the woman also died.
33In the resurrection then, of which of them is the woman the wife? for the seven had her for a wife.
34And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage;
35but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;
36for they cannot die any more; for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37But that the dead are raised, even Moses hath shown at the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
39Then some of the scribes answering, said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
40For they dared no longer to ask him any question.
41And he said to them, How is it that men say that the Christ is David's son?
