| 20:1 | And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon `him', |
| 20:2 | and spake unto him, saying, `Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?' |
| 20:3 | And he answering said unto them, `I will question you -- I also -- one thing, and tell me: |
| 20:4 | the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?' |
| 20:5 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying -- `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him? |
| 20:6 | and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.' |
| 20:7 | And they answered, that they knew not whence `it was', |
| 20:8 | and Jesus said to them, `Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.' |
| 20:9 | And he began to speak unto the people this simile: `A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time, |
| 20:10 | and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send `him' away empty. |
| 20:11 | `And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty; |
| 20:12 | and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out. |
| 20:13 | `And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son -- the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence; |
| 20:14 | and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours; |
| 20:15 | and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed `him'; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them? |
| 20:16 | He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!' |
| 20:17 | and he, having looked upon them, said, `What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected -- this became head of a corner? |
| 20:18 | every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.' |
| 20:19 | And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile. |
| 20:20 | And, having watched `him', they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor, |
| 20:21 | and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach; |
| 20:22 | Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?' |
| 20:23 | And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, `Why me do ye tempt? |
| 20:24 | shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, `Of Caesar:' |
| 20:25 | and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' |
| 20:26 | and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent. |
| 20:27 | And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him, |
| 20:28 | saying, `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless -- that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother. |
| 20:29 | `There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless, |
| 20:30 | and the second took the wife, and he died childless, |
| 20:31 | and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven -- they left not children, and they died; |
| 20:32 | and last of all died also the woman: |
| 20:33 | in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? -- for the seven had her as wife.' |
| 20:34 | And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage, |
| 20:35 | but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; |
| 20:36 | for neither are they able to die any more -- for they are like messengers -- and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again. |
| 20:37 | `And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; |
| 20:38 | and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.' |
| 20:39 | And certain of the scribes answering said, `Teacher, thou didst say well;' |
| 20:40 | and no more durst they question him anything. |
| 20:41 | And he said unto them, `How do they say the Christ to be son of David, |
| 20:42 | and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, |
| 20:43 | till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool; |
| 20:44 | David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?' |
| 20:45 | And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples, |
| 20:46 | `Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers, |
| 20:47 | who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.' |
| 20:1 | And yt fortuned in one of those dayes as he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospell: the hye prestes and the scribes came with the elders |
| 20:2 | and spake vnto him sayinge. Tell vs by what auctorite thou doest these thinges? Ether who is he yt gave ye this auctorite? |
| 20:3 | He answered and saide vnto the: I also will axe you a questio and answer me. |
| 20:4 | The baptyme of Iohn: was it from heaven or of men? |
| 20:5 | And they thought with in them selves sayinge: yf we shall saye from heave: he will saye: why then beleved ye him not? |
| 20:6 | But and yf we shall saye of men all ye people will stone vs. For they be persuaded that Ihon is a Prophet. |
| 20:7 | And they answered that they coulde not tell whence it was. |
| 20:8 | And Iesus sayde vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges. |
| 20:9 | Then begane he to put forthe to the people this similitude. A certayne man planted a vyneyarde and let it forthe to fermers and went him selfe into a straunge countre for a greate season. |
| 20:10 | And when the tyme was come he sent a servaut to his tennauntes that they shuld geve him of the frutes of the vyneyarde. And the tennauntes dyd bet him and sent him awaye empty. |
| 20:11 | And agayne he sent yet another servaunt. And they dyd bet him and foule entreated him also and sent him awaye emptye. |
| 20:12 | Moreover he sent the thyrde to and him they wouded and cast out. |
| 20:13 | Then sayde the lorde of the vyneyarde: what shall I do? I will sende my deare sonne him peradventure they will reverence when they se him. |
| 20:14 | But when the fermers sawe him they thought in them selves sayinge: this is the heyre come let vs kyll him that the inheritaunce maye be oures. |
| 20:15 | And they cast him out of the vyneyarde and kylled him. Now what shall the Lorde of the vyneyarde do vnto them? |
| 20:16 | He will come and destroye those fermers and will let out his vyneyarde to other. When they hearde that they sayde: God forbyd. |
| 20:17 | And he behelde them and sayde: what meaneth this then yt is wrytten: The stone that the bylders refused the same is made ye heed corner stone? |
| 20:18 | whosoever stomble at that stone shalbe broken: but on whosoever it faul vpon it wyll grynde him to powder. |
| 20:19 | And the hye Prestes and the Scribes the same howre went about to laye hondes on him but they feared the people. For they perceaved that he had spoken this similitude agaynst them. |
| 20:20 | And they watched him and sent forth spies which shuld fayne them selves perfecte to take him in his wordes and to delyvre him vnto the power and auctorite of the debite. |
| 20:21 | And they axed him sayinge: Master we knowe that thou sayest and teachest ryght nother cosiderest thou eny manes degre but teachest the waye of God truly. |
| 20:22 | Ys it laufull for vs to geve Cesar tribute or no? |
| 20:23 | He perceaved their craftynes and sayde vnto them: why tept ye me? |
| 20:24 | Shewe me a peny. Whose ymage and superscripcio hath it? They answered and sayde: Cesars. |
| 20:25 | And he sayde vnto them: Geve then vnto Cesar that which belongeth vnto Cesar: and to God that which pertayneth to God. |
| 20:26 | And they coulde not reprove his sayinge before the people. But they marvayled at his answer and helde their peace. |
| 20:27 | Then came to him certayne of the Saduces which denye that ther is eny resurreccio. And they axed him |
| 20:28 | sayinge: Master Moses wrote vnto vs if eny mannes brother dye havinge a wyfe and the same dye with out yssue: that then his brother shuld take his wyfe and reyse vp seede vnto his brother. |
| 20:29 | Ther were seven brethren and the fyrste toke a wyfe and dyed with out children. |
| 20:30 | And the seconde toke the wyfe and he dyed chyldlesse. |
| 20:31 | And the thyrde toke her and in lyke wyse the resydue of the seven and leeft no chyldren be hynde them and dyed. |
| 20:32 | Last of all the woma dyed also. |
| 20:33 | Now at the resurreccio whose wyfe of them shall she be? For seven had her to wyfe. |
| 20:34 | Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. The chyldre of this worlde mary wyves and are maryed |
| 20:35 | but they which shalbe made worthy to enioye that worlde and the resurreccion from deeth nether mary wyves nether are maryed |
| 20:36 | nor yet can dye eny moare. For they are equall vnto the angels: and are the sonnes of God in as moche as they are the chyldre of the resurreccion. |
| 20:37 | And that the deed shall ryse agayne even Moses signified besydes the busshe when he sayde: the Lorde God of Adraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. |
| 20:38 | For he is not the God of the deed but of them which live. For all live in him. |
| 20:39 | Then certayne of the Pharises answered and sayde: Master thou hast well sayde. |
| 20:40 | And after that durst they not axe him eny question at all. |
| 20:41 | Then sayde he vnto them: how saye they that Christ is Davids sonne? |
| 20:42 | And David him selfe sayth in the boke of the Psalmes: The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde syt on my right honde |
| 20:43 | tyll I make thine enemys thy fothe stole. |
| 20:44 | Seinge David calleth him Lorde: How is he then his sonne. |
| 20:45 | Then in the audience of all the people he sayde vnto his disciples |
| 20:46 | beware of the Scribes which desyre to goo in longe clothinge: and love gretynges in the markets and the hyest seates in the synagoges and chefe roumes at feastes |
| 20:47 | which devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of longe prayinge: the same shall receave greater damnacion. |
| 20:1 | And it fortuned one of those dayes, whan he taught the people in the teple, and preached the Gospell, the hye prestes and scrybes came to him with the Elders, |
| 20:2 | and spake vnto him, and sayde: Tell vs, by what auctorite doest thou these thinges? Or who gaue the this auctorite? |
| 20:3 | But he answered, & sayde vnto the: I wil axe you a worde also, tell it me: |
| 20:4 | The baptyme of Iho was it from heauen, or of men? |
| 20:5 | But they thought in them selues, and sayde: Yf we saye, from heauen, then shal he saye: Why dyd ye not the beleue him? |
| 20:6 | But yf we saye, of men, then shal all the people stone vs, for they be persuaded, that Ihon is a prophet. |
| 20:7 | And they answered, that they coulde not tell, whence it was. |
| 20:8 | And Iesus sayde vnto them: Nether tell I you, by what auctorite I do these thinges. |
| 20:9 | And he beganne to tell the people this symilitude: A certayne man planted a vynyarde, and let it out vnto hussbadmen, and wente himself in to a straunge countre for a greate season. |
| 20:10 | And whan his tyme was come, he sent a seruaut to the hussbadmen, that they might geue him of the frute of the vynyarde. But the hussbandmen bet him, and sent him awaye emptye. |
| 20:11 | And agayne he sent yet another seruaut: but they bet him also, and intreated him shamefully, & sent him awaye emptye. |
| 20:12 | And besydes this, he sent the thirde: but they wounded him also, and thrust him out. |
| 20:13 | Then sayde the lorde of the vynyarde: What shal I do? I wil sende my deare sonne, peraduenture they wil stonde in awe of him, whan they se him. |
| 20:14 | But whan the hussbande men sawe the sonne, they thought in the selues, and sayde: This is the heyre, come, let vs kyll him, yt the inheritaunce maye be oures. |
| 20:15 | And they thrust him out of ye vynyarde, and slew him. What shal now the lorde of the vynyarde do vnto them? |
| 20:16 | He shal come, and destroye those hussbandmen, and let out his vynyarde vnto other. Whan they herde that, they sayde: God forbyd. |
| 20:17 | But he behelde the, and sayde: What is this then that is wrytten: The same stone which the buylders refused, is become the head corner stone? |
| 20:18 | Who so euer falleth vpon this stone, shalbe broken in sunder: but vpo who so euer he falleth, he shall grynde him to poulder. |
| 20:19 | And the hye prestes and scrybes wente aboute to laye handes vpon him the same houre, and they feared the people: for they perceaued, that he had spoke this symilitude agaynst them. |
| 20:20 | And they watched hi, & sent forth spyes, which shulde fayne the selues perfecte, that they might take him in his wordes, to delyuer him vnto the power and auctorite of ye debite. |
| 20:21 | And they axed him, & sayde: Master, we knowe that thou sayest & teachest right, and regardest the outwarde appearauce of no man, but teachest the waye of God truly. |
| 20:22 | Is it laufull, that we geue tribute vnto the Emperoure, or not? |
| 20:23 | But he perceaued their craftynes, and sayde vnto them: Why tepte ye me? |
| 20:24 | Shewe me the peny. Whose ymage and superscripcion hath it? They answered, and sayde: The Emperours. |
| 20:25 | Then sayde he vnto them: Geue the vnto the Emperoure, that which is the Emperours: & vnto God, that which is Gods. |
| 20:26 | And they coude not reproue his worde before the people, and marueyled at his answere, and helde their peace. |
| 20:27 | Then came vnto him certayne of the Saduces (which holde that there is no resurreccion) and axed him, |
| 20:28 | and sayde: Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, yf eny mans brother dye hauynge a wife, and dyeth without childre, then shal his brother take his wife, and rayse vp sede vnto his brother. |
| 20:29 | Now were there seue brethre: the first toke a wife, and dyed childlesse: |
| 20:30 | and the seconde toke the wife, and deyed without children also: |
| 20:31 | and the thirde toke her, likewyse all the seue, and left no children behynde the, and dyed. |
| 20:32 | At the last after them all, the woman dyed also. |
| 20:33 | Now in the resurreccion, whose wife shal she be of them For seuen had her to wife. |
| 20:34 | And Iesus answered and saide vnto them: The childre of this worlde mary, & are maried, |
| 20:35 | but they yt shalbe worthy to enioye that worlde and the resurreccion from the deed, shal nether mary ner be maried, |
| 20:36 | for they can dye nomore. For they are like vnto the angels, and are the children of God, in so moch as they are children of the resurreccion. |
| 20:37 | But that the deed ryse agayne, hath Moses also signified besydes the bush, when he called the LORDE, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. |
| 20:38 | But God is not a God of the deed but of the lyuynge, for they lyue all vnto him. |
| 20:39 | Then answered certayne of the scrybes, and sayde: Master, thou haist sayde well. |
| 20:40 | And from that tyme forth they durst axe him no mo questions. |
| 20:41 | But he sayde vnto them: How saye they that Christ is Dauids sonne? |
| 20:42 | And Dauid himself sayeth in the boke of the Psalmes: The LORDE sayde vnto my LORDE: Syt thou on my right honde, |
| 20:43 | tyll I make thine enemies thy fote stole. |
| 20:44 | Dauid calleth him LORDE, how is he then his sonne? |
| 20:45 | Now whyle all the people gaue audience, he sayde vnto his disciples: |
| 20:46 | Bewarre of the scrybes, which wyl go in longe garmentes, and loue to be saluted vpon the market, and desyre to syt hyest in the synagoges, and at the table. |
| 20:47 | They deuoure wedowes houses and that vnder a culoure of longe prayenge: These shal receaue the greater danacion. |
