Luke [White-light] 20:14-28

¹⁴“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

¹⁵They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁶He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”

¹⁷But he looked at them, and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone' ?

¹⁸Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”

¹⁹The chief priests and the Torah-Teachers sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people— for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

²⁰They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be upright, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

²¹They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and are not partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

²²Does Torah ·Teaching· permit us to pay taxes to Caesar Ruler, or not?”

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

²⁴Show me a denarius one day’s wage. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s Ruler’s.”

²⁵He said to them, “Then give to Caesar Ruler the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁶They were not able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer, and were silent.

²⁷Some of the Sadducees Morally-upright came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

²⁸They asked him, “Teacher, Moses Drawn out wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.
