Jesus' Authority Challenged
And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,
And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,
and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?
and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.”
And he answering said to them, *I* also will ask you [one] thing, and tell me:
He answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,
The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men?
was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?
And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
And they answered, they did not know whence.
So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do *I* tell 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.”

And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent [him] away empty.
And again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.
And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out.
And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [him].
Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; [come,] let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.
But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’
And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!
He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!”
But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?
Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”

And having watched [him], they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in [his] language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no [man's] person, but teachest with truth the way of God:
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?”
But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.
And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.

demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.
There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;
Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.
and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;
and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?
In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.”
And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage,
And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [the] dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in [the section of] the bush, when he called [the] Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;

And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,
And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,

But he said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is David’s son?
But he said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is David’s son?
and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand
For David himself says in the Book of Psalms,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
