	HAWEIS Haweis New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	AND it came to pass, on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and scribes with the elders came upon him,	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 to him, saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things or who is he that giveth thee this authority?	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	Then he answering said to them, I also will ask you one question; and resolve 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 baptism of John, was it from heaven, 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 among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven; he will say, Wherefore then did ye not believe him?	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 say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John 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	And they answered, We know not from whence.	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 Jesus said to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do 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 he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and delivered it to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long while.	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 season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they might give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat, and sent him away empty.	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 he again sent another servant: and him also they beat, and treating him with indignity, sent him away empty.	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	And he sent yet a third: and him they also 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 said the master of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: probably when they see him, they will shew him respect.	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 saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our own.	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 casting him out of the vineyard, they slew him. What then will the master of the vineyard do with these men?	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 give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said 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	Then he looked on them, and said, What is this then which is written, The stone which the builders rejected, 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	Every one who falleth upon this stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him 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 chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him at that time; and were afraid of the people: for they knew 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 watching him, they sent men they had suborned, who pretended that they were righteous persons, in order to lay hold of some word of his, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.	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 speakest and teachest rightly, and respectest no man's person, but teachest the way of God in truth:	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 lawful for us to pay tribute to Cæsar, or not?	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	Then he, aware of their crafty design, said unto 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 denarius. Whose image and inscription hath it? And they answering said, Cæsar's.	“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 said he to them, Pay therefore to Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's, and to God the things which are God's.	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 were unable to lay hold of a single expression of his before the people: and marvelling at his answer, they were silenced.	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 certain of the Sadducees, who contend that there is no resurrection, 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 for us, If a man's brother die, having a wife, and he die childless, that his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed for 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 seven brothers: and the first taking a wife, died childless.	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 taking the wife, he also died childless.	And the second	The second
31	Then the third took her; and also all the seven in like manner: and left no children, and died.	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 died also the woman.	Afterward the woman also died.	Finally, the woman died too.
33	In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven 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	And Jesus in reply said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:	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 who are counted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:	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	neither can they die any more: for they are like the angels; and are the children of God, being 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	Now that the dead are raised, even Moses intimated at the bush, when he called the Lord, ?the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.?	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	Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live with 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 some of the scribes addressing him said, Master, admirably hast thou spoken!	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 they durst not put another question to him.	For they no longer dared to ask him any question.	And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
41	Then he spake to them: How say they that the Messiah is the son of David?	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	Yet David himself, in the book of Psalms, saith, ?The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit down 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	until I put thine enemies for a footstool of thy feet.?	until I make your enemies your footstool.”’	until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.\|’
44	David then calleth him Lord, and how then is he his son?	David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”	David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
45	And whilst all the people were hearkening, he said to 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, who desire to walk about in trailing robes, and love salutations in the public places, and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the most honourable couch at suppers;	“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	who devour the houses of widows, and for a pretext make long prayers: these shall receive a more abundant punishment.	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.”
