1 And it happened, in(=on) one of the days, his teaching(=as he was teaching)1 the people in the temple and preaching(=as he was preaching the gospel)2, that the high priests and the scribes with the elders came up.

2 And they told, saying to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things or who is the one having given you this authority?”

3 And having answered, he said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, and say to me.”

4 “Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?”

5 And they discussed (it) to(=with) themselves, saying, “[that] If we [might] say ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’”

6 “And if we [might] say ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for (they) is(=are) having been persuaded(=have been convinced)3 John to be a prophet(=John was a prophet).”

7 And they answered not to know(=that they did not know) where(=where it was from).

8 And [the] Jesus said (to) them, “Neither (will) I say (to) you by what authority I do these things.”

9 And he began to tell the people this parable. “A man planted a vineyard and leased it to farmers, and he went away (for) a considerable(=long) time.”

10 “And (in) time(=at harvest time) he sent a slave to the farmers, that they will(=would) give him (some) from(=of) the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers, having beaten, sent him away empty-handed.”

11 “And he added to(=again, # Hebraic usage) send(=sent again) another slave. But they, having beaten him also and treated (him) shamefully, sent (him) away empty-handed.”

12 “And he added to(=again, # Hebraic usage) send(=sent again) a third. But they, having wounded this one also, threw (him) out.”

13 “And the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son, perhaps they will respect this (son).’”

14 “And having seen him, the farmers were arguing to one another(=to themselves), saying, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance might(=will) be ours.’”

15 “And having thrown him out of the vineyard, they killed (him). What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?”

16 “He will come and [will] destroy these farmers and [will] give the vineyard to others.” And having heard (it), they said, “May this never be(# aorist optative)!”

17 And he, having looked at them, said, “What then is this having been written: ‘(The) stone that the ones building(=builders) rejected, this (stone) has become [for] (the) head of (the) corner(=the cornerstone)’?”

18 “Everyone who having fallen on that stone will be broken to pieces. But on whomever it [might] falls, it will crush him.”

19 And the scribes and the high priests sought to lay [the] hands on him in the same(=very) hour, but they feared the people, for they knew that he told this parable against them.

20 And having closely watched, they sent spies pretending themselves to be righteous, that they might seize (on) his word, so as(=in order) to deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.

21 And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and you do not receive a face(=show no partiality) but you teach the way of God on(=in) truth.”

22 “Is it right (for) us to give tribute to Caesar or not?”

23 And having perceived their craftiness, he said (to) them,

24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they said, “Caesar’s.”

25 And he said (to) them, “Then give to Caesar the things of Caesar(=what is Caesar’s) and to God the things of God(=what is God’s).”

26 And they were not able to catch (him in) his word in the presence of the people. And having marvelled at his answer, they were silent.

27 And having approached, some of Sadducees speaking resurrection not to be(=that there is no resurrection) asked him,

28 saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if someone’s brother, having a wife, [might] dies and [this man] may be(=is) childless, that his brother should take the wife and [should] raise up seed(=children, or =family) (for) his brother.”

29 “Now there were seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife died childless.”

30 “And the second”

31 “And the third took her, and likewise the seven also left no children and died.”

32 “Finally the woman also died.”

33 “Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of them does the woman become? For the seven had her (as) wife.”

34 And [the] Jesus said (to) them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.”

35 “But the ones having been considered worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.”

36 “For they cannot [to] die any more, because they are like angels, and they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.”

37 “But that the dead are raised, even Moses made known (in the passage) about the bush, when he calls(=called) (the) Lord ‘the God of Abraham, [and] God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.’”

38 “And He is not God of the dead but of the living, for all live to him.”

39 And having answered, some of the scribes said, “Teacher, you have said well.”

40 For they no longer were daring(=dared) to ask him nothing(=anything).

41 And he said (to) them, “How do they say Christ to be David’s son(=that the Christ is David’s son)?” 42 “For David himself says in (the) Book of Psalms: ‘(The) Lord said (to) my Lord, Sit at my right (hand),’”

43 “until I [might] make your enemies a footstool of(=for) your feet.”

44 “Therefore, David calls him ‘Lord’. And how is he his son?”

45 And all the people’s hearing(=while all the people were hearing)4, he said (to) the disciples,

46 “Beware from(=of) the scribes wishing to walk around in long robes and loving greetings in the marketplaces and chief seats in the synagogues and the first couches(=the places of honor) in the dinners(=at feasts),”

47 “who devour widows’ houses and in pretence(=for a show) make long prayers. These will receive (the) greater judgment(=condemnation).”
