1One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
“On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders confronted him.”
2"Tell us," they said, "by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?"
“and spoke to him saying, tell us by what authority are you doing these things? Or who is he who gave you this authority?”
3"I will also ask you a question," Jesus replied. "Tell Me:
“And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing, and answer me.”
“but he answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing and answer me.”
“Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you a question. You tell me,”
4John's baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?"
“The baptism of John, was it from heaven or of men?”
“The baptism of John. Was it from heaven, or of men?”
“The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men?”
“the baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men?”
“was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?”
“The baptism of John was it from heaven or of men?”
5They deliberated among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will ask, 'Why did you not believe him?'
“And they reasoned among themselves saying, if we say from heaven, he will say, why then did you not believe him?”
6But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet."
“But if we say from men, all the people will stone us for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
“And if we say of men, All the people will stone us. For they be persuaded that John was a prophet.”
“But if we save from men, all the people will stone us, they are persuaded that John was a prophet.'.”
7So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
“And they answered that they could not tell whence it was.”
“so they answered that they did not know where it was from.”
“so they answered that they did not know where it came from.”
“And they answered. But they could not tell whence it was.”
8And Jesus replied, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."
“And Jesus said unto 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 to them, neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
“Then he began to tell the people this parable. A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country for a long time.”
“Then began he to speak to the people this parable. A certain man planted a vineyard, and led it forth to husbandmen, and went to a far country for a long time.”
“He began to tell the people a parable. A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to vine growers and went on a journey for a long time.”
10At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
“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.”
“Now at vintage time he sent a servant to the vinedressers that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard but the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty -handed.”
“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.”
“At the harvest time, he sent a slave to the vine growers so that they would give him some of the produce of the field. But the vine growers beat him, sent him away empty handed.”
“now at vintage time, he sent a servant to the vine dressers that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine dressers beat him and sent him away empty -handed.”
11So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
“And again He sent another servant, and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.”
“Again he sent another servant and they beat him also treated him shamefully and sent him away empty -handed.”
“And again he sent another servant, And they beat him also, And treated him shamefully, And sent him away empty.”
“And again he sent another servant and they beat him also and then treated him shamefully and they sent him away empty.”
“And he proceeded to send another slave. They beat him also and treated him shamefully and sent him away empty handed.”
12Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
“And again he sent a third and they wounded him also and cast him out.”
“And again He sent a third, and they wounded him also, and cast him out.”
“And again he sent a third and they wounded him also and cast him out.”
“He proceeded to send a third. And this one also they wounded and cast out.”
13'What shall I do?' asked the owner of the vineyard. 'I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.'
“Then said the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that they will reverence him when they see him.”
“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.”
“Then the owner of the vineyard said what shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.”
“The owner of the vineyard said, what shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.”
“Then said the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be they were reverent then when they see him.”
14But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
“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.”
“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.”
“But when the vinedressers saw him they reasoned among themselves saying this is the heir come let us kill him that the inheritance may be ours.”
“But when the vine growers saw him, they reasoned with one another saying, this is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.”
“But when the husband men saw him, They reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him. That the inheritance may be ours.”
15So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
“So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them?”
“So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them?”
“So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. And what therefore shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them?”
“So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what 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?”
16He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others." And when the people heard this, they said, "May such a thing never happen!"
“He shall come and destroy these husbandmen and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.”
“He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.”
“He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said certainly not.”
17But Jesus looked directly at them and said, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone' ?
“Then he looked at them and said what then is this that is written? The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.”
“And He beheld them and said, What is this then that is written? The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner.”
“And he beheld them and said, What is this, then, that is written? The stone which the builders rejected, The same has become the head of the corner.”
“And He beheld them and said, What is this then that is written? The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner.”
18Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."
“Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”
“Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”
“Whoever falls on that stone will be broken but on whomever it falls it will grind him to powder.”
“Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder.”
“Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But on whomever it falls, it shall scatter him like the dust.”
19When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
“And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on him but they feared the people for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.”
“the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people, for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.”
“And the chief priests in the scribes the same hours Sought to lay hand on him. And they feared the people, For they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.”
“The scribes and the chief priest tried to lay hands on him from that very hour. They feared the people. They understood that he spoke this parable against them.”
“And the chief priests and the scribes at that very hour sought to lay hands on Jesus, but they feared the people, for they knew that he had spoken this parable specifically against them.”
20So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
“so they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be righteous that they might seize on his words in order to deliver him to the power and the authority of the governor.”
“And they watched him and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, and that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.”
21"Teacher," they inquired, "we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
“they questioned him saying, teacher we know that you speak and teach correctly and you are not partial to any but teach the way of God in truth.”
“then they asked him saying, teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and you do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth.”
“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.”
22Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
“Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
“Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?”
“Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or”
“is it lawful for us to give taxes to Caesar or not?”
“Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not.”
23But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
“But he perceived their craftiness and said to them,”
“But he perceived their craftiness and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?”
24"Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" "Caesar's," they answered.
“Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have? They answered and said, Caesar's.”
25So Jesus told them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is 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.”
“And then he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's.”
“and said, Caesar's. He said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.”
“He said to them, render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, to God the things that are God's.”
26And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
“But they could not catch him in his words in the presence of the people and they marveled at his answer and kept silent.”
“And they could not take hold of his words before the people and they marveled at his answer and they held their peace.”
27Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
“Then some of the Sadducees who deny that there is a resurrection came to him and asked him”
“Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection. And they asked him,”
28"Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother's widow and raise up offspring for him.
“saying teacher Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife and he dies without children his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.”
“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 a seed unto his brother.”
“And they asked him a question, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.”
“saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, having a wife, if he die without children, that his should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.”
29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
“Now there were seven brothers and the first took a wife and died without children”
“There were therefore seven brethren, and the first took a wife, and died without children,”
“Now there were therefore seven brothers. And the first took a wife and he died without children.”
30Then the second
“And the second”
“and the second”
“and the second”
“And the second”
“and the second”
“And the second”
31and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
“Then the third took her and in like manner the seven also and they left no children and died.”
“and the third took her, and in like manner the seven or so, and they left no children, and died.”
32And last of all, the woman died.
“last of all, the woman died also.”
“last of all, the woman died also.”
“last of all the woman died also.”
“Last of all the woman died also.”
“last of all, the woman died also.”
“Last of all, the woman died also.”
33So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her."
“Therefore in the resurrection whose wife does she become for all seven had her as wife.”
“Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? For seven had her to wife.”
34Jesus answered, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
“Jesus answered and said to them the sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.”
“And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage,”
35But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
“But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage,”
“but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage,”
“But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that age or that world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.”
“But those who are counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor given in marriage”
36In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
“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.”
“nor can they die anymore for they are equal to the angels and our sons of God being sons of the resurrection.”
37Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
“But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised when he called the Lord the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob”
“Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush. When he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”
“Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, that he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,”
38He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive."
“for he is not the God of the dead but of the living for all live to him.”
“for he is not a God of the dead, but of the living, for all live unto him.”
39Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, You have spoken well!"
“some of the scribes answered and said teacher you have spoken well”
“Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master thou hast well said,”
40And they did not dare to question Him any further.
“And Luke says, after that they durst not ask him any question at all.”
“and after that they doth not ask him any question at all.”
41Then Jesus declared, "How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
“and he said to them, how can they say that the Christ is the son of David?”
“And so He said unto them, how say they that Christ is David's son?”
42For David himself says in the book of Psalms: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand
“Now David himself said in the book of Psalms, the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand”
43until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."'
“till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
“until I make your enemies your footstool.”
“until I make your enemies your footstool.”
“until I make your enemies your footstool.”
“till I make your enemies your footstool.”
“till I make your enemies your footstool?”
44Thus David calls Him 'Lord.' So how can He be David's son?"
“Therefore David calls him Lord. How is he then his son?”
“David therefore himself calleth him Lord. How is he than his son”
“David calls him Lord how is he then his son?”
45In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
“Then in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,”
“then in the audience of all the people, He said to His disciples,”
46"Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
“Beware of the scribes who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts.”
“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”
“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 places at feasts,”
“Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts”
47They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation."
“which devour widows' houses and for a show make long prayers. The same shall receive greater damnation.”
“who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
“which devour widows' houses and for a show make long prayers, the same shall receive greater damnation.”
“who devour widows' houses and for a great pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
“which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers, the same shall receive greater damnation.”
“Who devour widows houses and for a pretense make long prayers these shall receive greater condemnation”
