1	And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him 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 authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?	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	And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:	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 themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him 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 if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.	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	Therefore they answered, that they could 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	Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.	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 speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.	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 at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, & sent him 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	Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him 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	Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast 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 sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.	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 husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance 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	So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe 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 will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.	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 beheld them, & said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made 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 shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.	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	Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against 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 him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.	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, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truly.	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 it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute 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	But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd 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	Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.	“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	Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.	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 could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and 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 him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,	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, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise 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	Now there were seuen brethren, & the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.	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 second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.	And the second	The second
31	Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.	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	And last of all the woman dyed also.	Afterward the woman also died.	Finally, the woman died too.
33	Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? For seuen had her to wife.	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	Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married.	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 world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married.	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	For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, & are the sonnes of God, since they are the children 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 rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and 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 the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.	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 certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.	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 thing at all.	For they no longer dared to ask him any question.	And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
41	Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ 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 himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lorde, Sit at 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	Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.	until I make your enemies your footstool.”’	until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.\|’
44	Seeing Dauid called him Lord, 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 sayd 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, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the hiest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes 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 deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.	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.”
