Luke 20

et factum est in una dierum docente illo populum in templo et evangelizante convenerunt principes sacerdotum et scribae cum senioribus

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

et aiunt dicentes ad illum dic nobis in qua potestate haec facis aut quis est qui dedit tibi hanc potestatem

And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

respondens autem dixit ad illos interrogabo vos et ego verbum respondete mihi

And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

baptismum Iohannis de caelo erat an ex hominibus

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

at illi cogitabant inter se dicentes quia si dixerimus de caelo dicet quare ergo non credidistis illi

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

si autem dixerimus ex hominibus plebs universa lapidabit nos certi sunt enim Iohannem prophetam esse

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

et responderunt se nescire unde esset

And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

et Iesus ait illis neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate haec facio

And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

coepit autem dicere ad plebem parabolam hanc homo plantavit vineam et locavit eam colonis et ipse peregre fuit multis temporibus

Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

et in tempore misit ad cultores servum ut de fructu vineae darent illi qui caesum dimiserunt eum inanem

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

et addidit alterum servum mittere illi autem hunc quoque caedentes et adficientes contumelia dimiserunt inanem

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

et addidit tertium mittere qui et illum vulnerantes eiecerunt

And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

dixit autem dominus vineae quid faciam mittam filium meum dilectum forsitan cum hunc viderint verebuntur

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

quem cum vidissent coloni cogitaverunt inter se dicentes hic est heres occidamus illum ut nostra fiat hereditas

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

et eiectum illum extra vineam occiderunt quid ergo faciet illis dominus vineae

So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

veniet et perdet colonos istos et dabit vineam aliis quo audito dixerunt illi absit

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

ille autem aspiciens eos ait quid est ergo hoc quod scriptum est lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli

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?

omnis qui ceciderit supra illum lapidem conquassabitur supra quem autem ceciderit comminuet illum

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

et quaerebant principes sacerdotum et scribae mittere in illum manus illa hora et timuerunt populum cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem istam

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.

et observantes miserunt insidiatores qui se iustos simularent ut caperent eum in sermone et traderent illum principatui et potestati praesidis

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

et interrogaverunt illum dicentes magister scimus quia recte dicis et doces et non accipis personam sed in veritate viam Dei doces

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:

licet nobis dare tributum Caesari an non

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?

considerans autem dolum illorum dixit ad eos quid me temptatis

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

ostendite mihi denarium cuius habet imaginem et inscriptionem respondentes dixerunt Caesaris

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar's.

et ait illis reddite ergo quae Caesaris sunt Caesari et quae Dei sunt Deo

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

et non potuerunt verbum eius reprehendere coram plebe et mirati in responso eius tacuerunt

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

accesserunt autem quidam Sadducaeorum qui negant esse resurrectionem et interrogaverunt eum

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

dicentes magister Moses scripsit nobis si frater alicuius mortuus fuerit habens uxorem et hic sine filiis fuerit ut accipiat eam frater eius uxorem et suscitet semen fratri suo

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

septem ergo fratres erant et primus accepit uxorem et mortuus est sine filiis

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

et sequens accepit illam et ipse mortuus est sine filio

And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

et tertius accepit illam similiter et omnes septem et non reliquerunt semen et mortui sunt

And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

novissima omnium mortua est et mulier

Last of all the woman died also.

in resurrectione ergo cuius eorum erit uxor siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

et ait illis Iesus filii saeculi huius nubunt et traduntur ad nuptias

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

illi autem qui digni habebuntur saeculo illo et resurrectione ex mortuis neque nubunt neque ducunt uxores

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

neque enim ultra mori poterunt aequales enim angelis sunt et filii sunt Dei cum sint filii resurrectionis

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

quia vero resurgant mortui et Moses ostendit secus rubum sicut dicit Dominum Deum Abraham et Deum Isaac et Deum Iacob

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Deus autem non est mortuorum sed vivorum omnes enim vivunt ei

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

respondentes autem quidam scribarum dixerunt magister bene dixisti

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

et amplius non audebant eum quicquam interrogare

And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

dixit autem ad illos quomodo dicunt Christum Filium David esse

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

et ipse David dicit in libro Psalmorum dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

David ergo Dominum illum vocat et quomodo filius eius est

David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

audiente autem omni populo dixit discipulis suis

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

adtendite a scribis qui volunt ambulare in stolis et amant salutationes in foro et primas cathedras in synagogis et primos discubitus in conviviis

Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

qui devorant domos viduarum simulantes longam orationem hii accipient damnationem maiorem

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
