By what authority?
And on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came on him with the elders, and spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Or who is it that gave you this authority? And he answered them, I will ask you one thing too. Answer me: The baptism of John — was it from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say From heaven, he will say, Why didn't you believe him then? But if we say From men, all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet. And they answered that they couldn't tell where it was from. And Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
And it happened on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple and preached the good news, the chief priests and the scribes came on him with the elders. And spoke to him: Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or who's the one who gave you this authority? And he answered them: I'll ask you one thing too. And answer me: The baptism of John — was it from heaven or from men? And they argued among themselves: If we say from heaven, he'll say: Why then didn't you believe him? But if we say from men, all the people will stone us. Because they're sure John was a prophet. And they answered they couldn't tell where it was from. And Jesus said to them: Then I don't tell you by what authority I do these things.
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

The wicked tenants
Then he began to tell the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time. And at the right season he sent a servant to the tenants, so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. And again he sent another servant. And they beat him too, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And again he sent a third. And they wounded him too, and threw him out. Then the owner of the vineyard said, What should I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be they will respect him when they see him. But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him, so the inheritance will be ours. So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, Absolutely not! And he looked at them and said, What then is this that is written: The stone the builders rejected has become the head of the corner? Whoever falls on that stone will be broken. But on whoever it falls, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes tried that same hour to lay hands on him, and they were afraid of the people. Because they knew he had told this parable against them.
Then he started to speak this story to the people: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time. And at the season he sent a servant to the tenants, so they could give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty. And again he sent another servant. And they beat him too and treated him shamefully and sent him away empty. And again he sent a third. And they wounded him too and threw him out. Then the lord of the vineyard said: What'll I do? I'll send my beloved son. Maybe they'll respect him when they see him. But when the tenants saw him, they thought among themselves: This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, so the inheritance can be ours. So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. So what will the lord of the vineyard do to them? He'll come and wreck those tenants and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said: God forbid. And he looked at them and said: What is this then that's written: The stone the builders threw off, the same has turned into the head of the corner? Whoever falls on that stone will be broken. But whoever it falls on, it'll grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour looked to lay hands on him. And they were frightened of the people. Because they understood he'd spoken this story against them.
Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. And 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. And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

Caesar's coin
And they watched him, and sent out spies who pretended to be honest men, so they could catch him in what he said and hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. And they asked him, saying, Master, we know you speak and teach rightly, and you don't defer to anyone, but teach the way of God truly. Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not? But he saw their craftiness and said to them, Why are you testing me? Show me a coin. Whose image and inscription does it have? They answered, Caesar's. And he said to them, Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they couldn't catch him in what he said in front of the people. And they were amazed at his answer, and said nothing.
And they watched him and sent out spies, who made out they were righteous men, so they could catch hold of his words, so they could hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.

But he saw their craftiness and said to them: Why do you test me? Show me a penny. Whose image and writing has it got? They answered: Caesar's. And he said to them: So give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they couldn't catch hold of his words in front of the people. And they were shocked at his answer and held their peace.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s. And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

The resurrection
Then some of the Sadducees came to him, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife and died without children. And the second took her as his wife, and he died childless. And the third took her, and in the same way all seven. And they left no children and died. Last of all the woman died too. So in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? Because all seven had her as a wife. And Jesus answered them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. And they can't die any more, because they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Because he isn't a God of the dead, but of the living. For all live to him. Then some of the scribes answered, Master, you have spoken well. And after that they didn't dare ask him any question at all. And he said to them, How is it that they say Christ is David's son? And David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. So David calls him Lord. How then is he his son? Then, in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honour at feasts. They devour widows' houses, and for show they make long prayers. These men will receive the heavier judgement.
Then some of the Sadducees came, who deny there's any resurrection.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Because he isn't a God of the dead but of the living. Because everyone lives to him. Then some of the scribes answered: Teacher, you've said well. And after that they didn't dare ask him any question at all. And he said to them: How do they say Christ is David's son? And David himself says in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, till I make the ones against you your footstool. So David calls him Lord. And how is he his son then? Then in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples: Watch out for the scribes, who want to walk in long robes and love greetings in the markets and the top seats in the meeting houses and the top places at feasts — who eat up widows' houses and for a show make long prayers. These will get greater condemning.
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. Last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Then some of the Sadducees came to him, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife and died without children.
So there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife and died without children.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
And the second took her as his wife, and he died childless.
And the second took her as a wife, and he died childless.
And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
And the third took her, and in the same way all seven. And they left no children and died.
And the third took her. And the same way the seven too. And they left no children and died.
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
Last of all the woman died too.
Last of all the woman died also.
So in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? Because all seven had her as a wife.
So in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? Because seven had her as a wife.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
And Jesus answered them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage.
And Jesus answered them: The children of this world marry and are given in marriage.
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
But those who are counted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
But the ones counted worthy to get that world and the resurrection from the dead don't marry or are given in marriage.
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
And they can't die any more, because they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
They can't die any more either. Because they're equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Because he isn't a God of the dead, but of the living. For all live to him.
Because he isn't a God of the dead but of the living. Because everyone lives to him.
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
Then some of the scribes answered, Master, you have spoken well.
Then some of the scribes answered: Teacher, you've said well.
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
And after that they didn't dare ask him any question at all.
And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
And he said to them, How is it that they say Christ is David's son?

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
So David calls him Lord. How then is he his son?
So David calls him Lord. And how is he his son then?
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
