  Luke   chapter 20

   1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as
  he taught the people in the temple, and preached the
  gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon
  him with the elders,
   2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what
  authority doest thou these things? or who is he that
  gave thee this authority?
   3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also
  ask you one thing; and answer me:
   4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of
  men?
   5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we
  shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then
  believed ye him not?
   6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will
  stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a
  prophet.
   7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence
  it was.
   8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by
  what authority I do these things.
   9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable;
  A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to
  husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long
  time.
  10 And at the season he sent a servant to the
  husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of
  the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent
  him away empty.
  11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat
  him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him
  away empty.
  12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him
  also, and cast him out.
  13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I
  do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will
  reverence him when they see 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 ours.
  15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed
  him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do
  unto them?
  16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and
  shall give the vineyard to others. And when they
  heard it, they said, God forbid.
  17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then
  that is written, The stone which the builders
  rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
  18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be
  broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
  grind him to powder.
  19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same
  hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the
  people: for they perceived that he had spoken this
  parable against them.
  20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which
  should feign themselves just men, that they might
  take hold of his words, that so they might deliver
  him unto the power and authority of the governor.
  21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that
  thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest
  thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God
  truly:
  22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar,
  or no?
  23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto
  them, Why tempt ye me?
  24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription
  hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
  25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto
  Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the
  things which be God's.
  26 And they could not take hold of his words before
  the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and
  held their peace.
  27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which
  deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked
  him,
  28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's
  brother die, having a wife, and he die without
  children, that his brother should take his wife, and
  raise up seed unto his brother.
  29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first
  took a wife, and died without children.
  30 And the second took her to wife, and he died
  childless.
  31 And the third took her; and in like manner the
  seven also: and they left no children, and died.
  32 Last of all the woman died also.
  33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them
  is she? for seven had her to wife.
  34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children
  of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
  35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain
  that world, and the resurrection from the dead,
  neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
  36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal
  unto the angels; and are the children of God, being
  the children of the resurrection.
  37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at
  the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of
  Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
  38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the
  living: for all live unto him.
  39 Then certain of the scribes answering said,
  Master, thou hast well said.
  40 And after that they durst not ask him any question
  at all.
  41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is
  David's son?
  42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The
  LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
  43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
  44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then
  his son?
  45 Then in the audience of all the people he said
  unto his disciples,
  46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in
  long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and
  the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief
  rooms at feasts;
  47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make
  long prayers: the same shall receive greater
  damnation.
