And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard and made a fence round it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
But they caught him and beat him, and sent him away empty.
And again he sent to them another bondman; and [at] him they threw stones, and struck [him] on the head, and sent [him] away with insult.
And [again] he sent another; and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
Having yet [therefore] one beloved son, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.
But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
What, therefore, shall the Lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
Have ye not read this Scripture: The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the corner-stone:
this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them. And they left him and went away.
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to catch him in his words.
And they come, and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny that I may see [it].
And they brought [it]. And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar’s.
And Jesus answering said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they wondered at him.
Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, If anyone’s brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed; and the third likewise.
And the seven [took her, and] left no seed; last of all the woman also died.
In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her as wife.
And Jesus answering said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God.
For when they rise from among [the] dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.
And as touching the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how, in the [section of the] bush, how God spoke unto him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye therefore greatly err.
And one of the scribes who had come up, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, Israel; The LORD our God is one LORD;
and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment.
And a second like it [is] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
And the scribe said unto him, Right, teacher, thou hast said the truth; for he is one, and there is none other;
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love neighbour as oneself, is more than the burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him anymore.
And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is Son of David?
[for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.
And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, love salutations in the market-places,
and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive severer judgment.
And Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw the crowd casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much.
And a poor widow came, and cast in two mites, which make a farthing;
and he called to [him] his disciples, and said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow hath cast more in than all who have cast into the treasury;
for all have cast in of their abundance, but she of her want hath cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.
