And he began
to speak
unto them
by
parables
. A certain man
planted
a vineyard
, and
set
an hedge about
it , and
digged
a place for the winefat
, 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 servant
, that
he might receive
from
the husbandmen
of
the fruit
of the vineyard
.
And they caught
him , and beat
him
, and
sent him away
empty
.
And again
he sent
unto
them
another
servant
; and at him
they cast stones
, and wounded him in the head
, and
sent him away
shamefully handled
.
And again
he sent
another
; and him
they killed
, and
many
others
;
beating some
, and
killing some
.
Having yet
therefore
one
son
, his
wellbeloved
, he sent
him
also
last
unto
them
, saying
,
They will reverence
my
son
.
But those
husbandmen
said
among
themselves
, This
is
the heir
; come
, let us kill
him
, and
the inheritance
shall be
ours
.
And they took
him
, and killed
him , and
cast
him out of
the vineyard
.
What shall
therefore
the lord
of the vineyard
do
? he will come
and
destroy
the husbandmen
, and
will give
the vineyard
unto others
.
And have ye not
read
this
scripture
; The stone
which
the builders
rejected
is
become
the head
of the corner
:
This was
the Lord's
doing
, and
it is
marvellous
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 their way
.
And they send
unto
him
certain
of the Pharisees
and
of the Herodians
, to
catch
him
in his words
.
And when they were come
, they say
unto him
, Master
, we know
that
thou art
true
, and
carest
for
no man
: 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
?
Shall we give, or
shall 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 saith
unto them
, Whose
is this
image
and
superscription
? And
they said
unto him
, Caesar's
.
And Jesus
answering
said
unto them
, Render
to Caesar
the things that are
Caesar's
, and
to God
the things that are
God's
. And
they marvelled
at
him
.
Then come
unto
him
the Sadducees
, which
say
there is
no
resurrection
; and
they asked
him
, saying
,
Master, Moses
wrote
unto us
, If
a man's
brother
die
, and
leave
his wife
behind him , and
leave
no
children
, that
his
brother
should take
his
wife
, and
raise up
seed
unto his
brother
.
Now 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
had
her
, and
left
no
seed
: last
of all
the woman
died
also
.
In the resurrection
therefore
, when
they shall rise
, whose
wife
shall she be
of them
? for
the seven
had
her
to wife
.
And Jesus
answering
said
unto them
, Do ye
not
therefore
err
, because ye know
not
the scriptures
, neither
the power
of God
?
For when
they shall rise
from
the dead
, they neither
marry
, nor
are given in marriage
; but
are
as
the angels
which
are in
heaven
.
And as touching
the dead
, that
they rise
: have ye
not
read
in
the book
of Moses
, how
in
the bush
God
spake
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
the God
of the living
: ye
therefore
do
greatly
err
.
And one
of the scribes
came
, 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
, O 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
thy
mind
, and
with
all
thy
strength
: this
is the first
commandment
.
And the second
is like
, namely this
, Thou shalt love
thy
neighbour
as
thyself
. There is
none
other
commandment
greater
than these
.
And the scribe
said
unto him
, Well
, Master
, thou hast said
the
truth
: for
there is
one
God
; and
there is
none
other
but
he
:
And to love
him
with
all
the heart
, and
with
all
the understanding
, and
with
all
the soul
, and
with
all
the strength
, and
to love
his neighbour
as
himself
, is
more
than all
whole burnt offerings
and
sacrifices
.
And when Jesus
saw
that
he
answered
discreetly
, he said
unto him
, Thou art
not
far
from
the kingdom
of God
. And
no man
after that
durst
ask
him
any question .
And Jesus
answered
and said
, while he taught
in
the temple
, How
say
the scribes
that
Christ
is
the Son
of David
?
For David
himself
said
by
the Holy
Ghost
, The LORD
said
to my
Lord
, Sit thou
on
my
right hand
, till
I make
thine
enemies
thy
footstool
.
David therefore
himself
calleth
him
Lord
; and
whence
is he
then his
son
? And
the common
people
heard
him
gladly
.
And he said
unto them
in
his
doctrine
, Beware
of
the scribes
, which
love
to go
in
long clothing
, and
love salutations
in
the marketplaces
,
And the chief seats
in
the synagogues
, and
the uppermost rooms
at
feasts
:
Which devour widows
' houses
, and
for a pretence
make
long
prayers
: these
shall receive
greater
damnation
.
And Jesus
sat
over against
the treasury
, and beheld
how
the people
cast
money
into
the treasury
: and
many
that were rich
cast in
much
.
And there came
a certain
poor
widow
, and she threw in
two
mites
, which make
a farthing
.
And he called
unto him his
disciples
, and saith
unto them
, Verily
I say
unto you
, That
this
poor
widow
hath cast
more
in
, than all
they which have cast
into
the treasury
:
For all
they did cast in
of
their
abundance
; but
she
of
her
want
did cast in
all
that
she had
, even all
her
living
.
