|
|
1 |
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. |
|
|
2 |
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a
servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the
vineyard. |
|
3 |
And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him
away empty. |
|
4 |
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.
|
|
5 |
And again he sent another; and him they killed,
and many others; beating some, and killing some.
|
|
6 |
Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved,
he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. |
|
7 |
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This
is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. |
|
8 |
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him
out of the vineyard.
|
|
9 |
What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard
do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto
others.
|
|
10 |
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone
which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: |
|
11 |
This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous
in our eyes? |
|
12 |
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.
|
|
13 |
And they send unto
him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his
words.
|
|
14 |
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? |
|
15 |
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.
|
|
16 |
And they brought it.
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s. |
|
17 |
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.
|
|
18 |
Then come unto him
the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him,
saying,
|
|
19 |
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. |
|
20 |
Now there were seven
brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
|
|
21 |
And the second took
her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
|
|
22 |
And the seven had
her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
|
|
23 |
In the resurrection
therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the
seven had her to wife. |
|
24 |
And Jesus answering
said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because
ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? |
|
25 |
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. |
|
26 |
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? |
|
27 |
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of
the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
|
|
28 |
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? |
|
29 |
And Jesus answered
him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear,
O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: |
|
30 |
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. |
|
31 |
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than
these.
|
|
32 |
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: |
|
33 |
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.
|
|
34 |
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. |
|
35 |
And Jesus answered
and said, while he taught in the temple, How say
the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? |
|
36 |
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.
|
|
37 |
David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and
whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. |
|
38 |
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,
|
|
39 |
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the
uppermost rooms at feasts:
|
|
40 |
Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence
make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. |
|
41 |
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.
|
|
42 |
And there came a
certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
|
|
43 |
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: |
|
44 |
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. |
