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	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 sayinge. Tell vs by what auctorite thou doest these thinges? Ether who is he yt gave ye this auctorite?	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	He answered and saide vnto the: I also will axe you a questio and answer 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 baptyme of Iohn: 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 thought with in them selves sayinge: yf we shall saye from heave: he will saye: why then beleved 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 and yf we shall saye of men all ye people will stone vs. For they be persuaded that Ihon is 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 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 sayde vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.	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 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.	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 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.	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 servaunt. And they dyd bet him and foule entreated him also and sent him awaye emptye.	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	Moreover he sent the thyrde to and him they wouded 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 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.	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 fermers sawe him they thought in them selves sayi nge: this is the heyre come let vs kyll him that the inheritaunce maye be oures.	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 vyneyarde and kylled him. Now what shall the Lorde of the vyneyarde 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 will come and destroye those fermers and will let out his vyneyarde to other. When they hearde that 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 and sayde: what meaneth this then yt is wrytten: The stone that the bylders refused the same is made ye heed corner stone?	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	whosoever stomble at that stone shalbe broken: but on whosoever it faul vpon it wyll grynde 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 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.	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 shuld fayne them selves perfecte to take him in his wordes and to delyvre him vnto the power and auctorite of the debite.	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 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.	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	Ys it laufull for vs to geve 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	He perceaved their craftynes and sayde vnto them: why tept ye me?	But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,	He saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24	Shewe me a peny. Whose ymage and superscripcio hath it? They answered and sayde: 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	And he sayde vnto them: Geve then vnto Cesar that which belongeth vnto Cesar: and to God that which pertayneth to 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 reprove his sayinge before the people. But they marvayled at his answer 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 certayne of the Saduces which denye that ther is eny resurreccio. And they axed 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	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.	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	Ther were seven brethren and the fyrste toke a wyfe and dyed with out 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 seconde toke the wyfe and he dyed chyldlesse.	And the second	The second
31	And the thyrde toke her and in lyke wyse the resydue of the seven and leeft no chyldren be hynde 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 woma dyed also.	Afterward the woman also died.	Finally, the woman died too.
33	Now at the resurreccio whose wyfe of them shall she be? For seven 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 answered and sayde vnto them. The chyldre of this worlde mary wyves and are maryed	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 made worthy to enioye that worlde and the resurreccion from deeth nether mary wyves nether are maryed	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 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.	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 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.	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 deed but of them which live. For all live in 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 certayne of the Pharises answered and sayde: Master 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 axe him eny question at all.	For they no longer dared to ask him any question.	And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
41	Then sayde he vnto them: how saye they that Christ is Davids 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 David him selfe sayth in the boke of the Psalmes: The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde syt on my right honde	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 enemys thy fothe stole.	until I make your enemies your footstool.”’	until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.\|’
44	Seinge David calleth him Lorde: How 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 sayde 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 desyre to goo in longe clothinge: and love gretynges in the markets and the hyest seates in the synagoges and chefe roumes 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 devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of longe prayinge: the same shall receave greater damnacion.	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.”
