2 and said, saying to him, "Tell us, by what authority you are doing these [things], or who is the one who gave you this authority?
2 “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?”
3 And he answered [and] said to them, "I also will ask you a question, and you tell me:
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me:
4 The baptism of John--was [it] from heaven or from men?
4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
5 And they discussed [this] with one another, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
5 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, because they are convinced [that] John was a prophet."
6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 And they replied [that they] did not know where [it was] from.
7 So they answered, “We don’t know where it was from.”
8 And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things]."

9 And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time.
9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.
10 And at the proper time he sent a slave to the tenant farmers, so that they would give him [some] of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenant farmers sent him away empty-handed [after] beating [him].
10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11 And he proceeded to send another slave, but they beat and dishonored that one also, [and] sent [him] away empty-handed.
11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed.
12 And he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded [and] threw out this one also.
12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13 So the owner of the vineyard said, 'What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.’
14 But [when] the tenant farmers saw him, they began to reason with one another, saying, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance will become ours!'
14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
15 And they threw him out of the vineyard [and] killed [him]. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. “What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come and destroy those tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others." And [when they] heard [this], they said, "[May this] never happen!"
16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.”When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”
17 But he looked intently at them [and] said, "What then is this that is written: 'The stone which the builders rejected, this has become {the cornerstone}.'<note: Literally "the head of the corner">

18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and [the one] on whom it falls--it will crush him!"
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay [their] hands on him at [that] same hour, and they were afraid of the people, for they knew that he had told this parable with reference to them.
19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
20 And they watched [him] closely [and] sent spies who pretended they were upright, in order that they could catch him in a statement, so that they could hand him over to the authority and the jurisdiction of the governor.
20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not {show partiality}, but teach the way of God in truth.
21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

24 "Show me a denarius! Whose image and inscription does it have?" And they answered [and] said, "Caesar's."
24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”“Caesar’s,” they replied.
25 So he said to them, "Well then, give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!"
25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.

28 saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone's brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and {father} descendants for his brother.
28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
29 Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife [and] died childless,
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.
30 and the second,
30 The second
31 and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.
31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32 Finally the woman also died.
32 Finally, the woman died too.
33 Therefore in the resurrection, the woman--whose wife will she be? For the seven had her [as] wife."
33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 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,
35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,
36 for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, [because they] are sons of the resurrection.
36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in [the passage about] the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob.

42 David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand
43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." '
