1	And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught ye people in the temple, & preached the Gospell, the hie priestes and the scribes came vpo hym, with the elders.	One 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	One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him.
2	And spake vnto him, saying: Tell vs by what aucthoritie doest thou these thynges? Eyther who is he that gaue thee this aucthoritie?	and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.”	“Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?”
3	Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto them: I also wyll aske you one thyng, & aunswere me.	He answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,	He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me:
4	The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?	was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?”	John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
5	And they reasoned within the selues, saying, Yf we say from heauen, he wyll say, why then beleued ye hym not?	And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’	They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6	But and yf we say of men, all the people wyll stone vs: For they be perswaded that Iohn is a prophete.	But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”	But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7	And they aunswered, that they coulde not tell whence it was.	So they answered that they did not know where it came from.	So they answered, “We don’t know where it was from.”
8	And Iesus saide vnto them: Neither tell I you by what aucthoritie I do these thynges.	And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”	Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9	Then began he to put foorth to the people this parable. A certayne man planted a vineyarde, and let it foorth to husbande men, and went hym selfe into a straunge countrey for a great season.	And 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.	He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.
10	And when the time was come, he sent a seruaunt to the husbande men, that they shoulde geue hym of the fruite of the vineyarde. And they beat hym, and sent hym away emptie.	When 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.	At harvest time 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.
11	And agayne, he sent yet another seruaunt: and hym they did beate, and entreated hym shamefully, and sent hym away emptie.	And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.	He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed.
12	Agayne, he sent the thirde also: and hym they wounded, and cast hym out.	And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.	He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13	Then said the Lord of the vineyarde: What shal I do? I wyl send my deare sonne, it may be they wyll reuerence hym, when they see hym.	Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’	“Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.’
14	But when the husbande men sawe him, they reasoned within them selues, saying: This is the heyre, come, let vs kyll hym, that the inheritaunce may be ours.	But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’	“But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
15	And they cast him out of the vineyard, and kylled hym. What shall the Lorde of the vineyarde therfore do vnto them?	And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?	So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. “What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16	He shall come and destroye these husbande men, & shall let out his vineyarde to other. When they hearde this, they sayde, God forbyd.	He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!”	He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”
17	And he behelde them, & sayde: What is this then that is written, The stone that the buylders refused, the same is become the head of the corner.	But he looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?	Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: “’The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18	Whosoeuer doth stumble vppon that stone, shalbe broken: but on whosoeuer it falleth, it wyll grinde hym to powder.	Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”	Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19	And the hye priestes & the scribes, the same houre went about to laye handes on hym: and they feared the people. For they perceaued that he had spoken this similitude agaynst them.	The 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.	The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
20	And they watched hym, & sent foorth spyes, which shoulde fayne them selues ryghteous men, to take hym in his wordes, and to delyuer hym vnto the power and aucthoritie of the deputie.	So 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.	Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.
21	And they asked him, saying: Maister, we knowe that thou sayest and teachest ryght, neither considerest thou the outwarde appearaunce of any man, but teachest the way of God truely:	So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.	So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22	Is is lawfull for vs to geue tribute vnto Caesar, or no?	Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?”	Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23	He perceaued their craftynesse, & saide vnto them: why tempt ye me?	But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,	He saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24	Shewe me a penie, whose image and superscription hath it? They aunswered and sayde, Caesars.	“Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s.”	“Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied.
25	And he sayde vnto them: Geue then vnto Caesar, the thynges which belong vnto Caesar, and to God the thynges that perteyne vnto God.	He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”	He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26	And they coulde not reproue his saying before the people: and they marueyled at his aunswere, & helde their peace.	And 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.	They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.
27	Then came to hym certayne of the saducees, which denie that there is any resurrection, and they asked hym,	There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,	Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.
28	Saying: Maister, Moyses wrote vnto vs, yf any mans brother dye, hauyng a wyfe, and he dye without chyldren: that then his brother shoulde take his wyfe, & rayse vp seede vnto his brother.	and 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.	“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
29	There were therfore seuen brethren, and the first toke a wyfe, & dyed without chyldren.	Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.	Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.
30	And the seconde toke her, and he dyed chyldlesse.	And the second	The second
31	And the thirde toke her, & in lykewise the residue of the seuen, and left no chyldren behynde them, and dyed.	and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.	and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32	Last of all, the woman dyed also.	Afterward the woman also died.	Finally, the woman died too.
33	Nowe in the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? For seuen had her to wyfe.	In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.”	Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34	Iesus aunswered and saide vnto the: The chyldren of this worlde marrye wyues, and are marryed:	And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,	Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35	But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that worlde, and the resurrection from the dead, do not marrye wyues, neither are marryed,	but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,	But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,
36	Nor yet can dye any more: For they are equall vnto the angels, and are the sonnes of God, inasmuche as they are chyldren of the resurrection.	for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.	and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.
37	And that the dead shall ryse agayne, Moyses also sheweth besides the bushe, when he calleth the Lorde the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, & the God of Iacob.	But 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.	But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38	For he is not a God of dead, but of lyuyng: For all lyue vnto hym.	Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”	He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39	Then certayne of the pharisees aunswered, and sayde? Maister, thou hast well sayde.	Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”	Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”
40	And after that, durst they not aske him any question at all.	For they no longer dared to ask him any question.	And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
41	And he sayde vnto them: Howe saye they that Christe is Dauids sonne:	But he said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is David’s son?	Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?
42	And Dauid hym selfe sayeth in the booke of the psalmes: The Lord saide to my Lord, syt thou on my right hand,	For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,	David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: “’The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand
43	Tyll I make thine enemies thy footestoole?	until I make your enemies your footstool.”’	until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.\|’
44	Dauid therfore calleth hym Lorde, & howe is he then his sonne?	David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”	David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
45	Then in the audience of all the people, he saide vnto his disciples.	And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,	While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
46	Beware of the scribes, whiche wyll go in long robes, and loue greetinges in the markets, and the hyest seates in the synagogues, and the chiefe rowmes at feastes:	“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,	“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
47	Which deuour widowes howses vnder colour of longe prayers: The same shall receaue greater dampnation.	who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”	They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
