42:020:010 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.

42:020:011 And again he sent another servant:  and they beat him also, and
           entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

42:020:012 And again he sent a third:  and they wounded him also, and cast
           him out.

42:020:013 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.

42:020:014 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.

42:020:015 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.  What
           therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

42:020:016 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the
           vineyard to others.  And when they heard it, they said, God
           forbid.

42:020:017 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?

42:020:018 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on
           whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

42:020:019 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.

42:020:020 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.

42:020:021 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: 

42:020:022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

42:020:023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why
           tempt ye me?

42:020:024 Shew me a penny.  Whose image and superscription hath it?  They
           answered and said, Caesar’s.

42:020:025 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
           which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.

42:020:026 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: 
           and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

42:020:027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that
           there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
