1 And
it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in
the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon
him with the elders, 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by
what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this
authority? 3 And he answered and said unto them, I
will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 4 The
baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? 5 And they
reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why
then believed ye him not? 6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people
will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 7 And
they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. 8 And
Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority
I do these things.
9 Then
began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain
man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far
country for a long time. 10 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. 11 And again he sent another
servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him
away empty. 12 And again he sent a third:
and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 13 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. 14 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. 15 So
they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall
the lord of the vineyard do unto them? 16 He
shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others.
And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. 17 And he beheld
them, and said, What is this then that is written, The
stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be
broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 And
the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and
they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable
against them.
20 And
they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves
just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him
unto the power and authority of the governor. 21 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: 22 Is
it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 23 But he
perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt
ye me? 24 Shew me a penny. Whose image
and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s. 25 And
he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s. 26 And
they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at
his answer, and held their peace.
27 Then
came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any
resurrection; and they asked him, 28 Saying, Master, 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 seed unto his brother. 29 There
were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without
children. 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 31 And
the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no
children, and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 Therefore
in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 34 And
Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But
they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection
from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 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. 37 Now
that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the
Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For
he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Then
certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 40 And
after that they durst not ask him any question at all. 41 And
he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s
son? 42 And David himself saith in the
book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43 Till
I make thine enemies thy footstool. 44 David
therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 45 Then in
the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 46 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 at feasts;
47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew
make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
