[an error occurred while processing this directive]English Standard Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.”
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3He answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?”
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!”
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17But he looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?”
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24“Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s.”
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30And the second
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32Afterward the woman also died.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.”
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40For they no longer dared to ask him any question.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41But he said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
