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,
