16
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, may that never be.
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
Whoever 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, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to 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 to Cesar, or not?
23
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24
Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's.
25
And he said to them, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
26
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
27
Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
28
Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29
There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30
And the second took her for a 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 to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35
But they who 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 to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
