to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time. 020:010 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty. 020:011 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 020:012 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out. 020:013 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.' 020:014 "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' 020:015 They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? 020:016 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, "May it never be!" 020:017 But he looked at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?'{Psalm 118:22} 020:018 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust." 020:019 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people--for they knew he had spoken this parable against them. 020:020 They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor. 020:021 They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. 020:022 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" 020:023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, "Why do you test me? 020:024 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" They answered, "Caesar's." 020:025 He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." 020:026 They weren't able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer, and were silent. 020:027 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection. 020:028 They asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. 020:029 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless. 020:030 The second took her as wife, and he died childless. 020:031 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
