On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

WEB

They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”

WEB

He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:

WEB

the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”

WEB

They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

WEB

But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

WEB

They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.

WEB

Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

WEB

He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

WEB

At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.

WEB

He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

WEB

He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.

WEB

The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’

WEB

“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

WEB

Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

WEB

He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”

WEB

But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?

WEB

Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”

WEB

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

WEB

They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

WEB

They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

WEB

Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

WEB

But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

WEB

Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

WEB

He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

WEB

They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.

WEB

Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

WEB

They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

WEB

There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

WEB

The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

WEB

The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

WEB

Afterward the woman also died.

WEB

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

WEB

Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

WEB

But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

WEB

For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

WEB

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

WEB

Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

WEB

Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

WEB

They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

WEB

He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

WEB

David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

WEB

until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

WEB

“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

WEB

In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

WEB

“Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

WEB

who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
