The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 49: Luke: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Luke
20:10. And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they
should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him
away empty.
20:11. And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also and,
treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
20:12. And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also and cast
him out.
20:13. Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send
my beloved son. It may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
20:14. Whom, when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves,
saying: This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be
ours.
20:15. So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What
therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
20:16. He will come and will destroy these husbandmen and will give the
vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
20:17. But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written,
The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of
the corner?
20:18. Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be bruised: and upon
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
20:19. And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him
the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke
this parable to them.
20:20. And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign
themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that
they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
20:21. And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest
and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest
the way of God in truth.
20:22. Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
20:23. But he, considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
20:24. Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They
answering, said to him: Caesar's.
20:25. And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things, that
are Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's.
20:26. And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and
wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
20:27. And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there
is any resurrection: and they asked him,
20:28. Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die,
having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take
her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
20:29. There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife
and died without children.
20:30. And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless.
20:31. And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and
they left no children and died.
20:32. Last of all the woman died also.
20:33. In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be?
For all the seven had her to wife.
