WEBVTT 00:00.580 --> 00:06.280 Chapter 20 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught 00:06.280 --> 00:10.740 the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes 00:10.740 --> 00:14.660 came upon him with the elders, and spake unto him, saying, Tell us, 00:14.800 --> 00:17.340 by what authority doest thou these things? 00:17.800 --> 00:20.800 Or who is he that gave thee this authority? 00:21.200 --> 00:25.020 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing, 00:25.520 --> 00:26.380 and answer me. 00:26.380 --> 00:30.900 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? 00:31.280 --> 00:35.000 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say from heaven, 00:35.240 --> 00:38.340 he will say, Why then believ'd ye him not? 00:38.880 --> 00:45.020 But, and if we say of men, all the people will stone us, for they be persuaded that 00:45.020 --> 00:46.160 John was a prophet. 00:46.800 --> 00:49.300 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. 00:49.820 --> 00:54.580 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 00:54.580 --> 00:59.740 Then began he to speak to the people this parable, A certain man planted a vineyard, 01:00.320 --> 01:04.100 and led it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long 01:04.100 --> 01:04.500 time. 01:05.460 --> 01:09.440 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of 01:09.440 --> 01:10.340 the fruit of the vineyard. 01:11.140 --> 01:13.500 But the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. 01:14.340 --> 01:18.800 And again he sent another servant, and they beat him also, and entreated him 01:18.800 --> 01:20.900 shamefully, and sent him away empty. 01:21.540 --> 01:26.040 And again he sent a third, and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 01:27.020 --> 01:29.820 Then said the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? 01:30.480 --> 01:32.360 I will send my beloved son. 01:33.280 --> 01:35.340 It may be they will reverence him when they see him. 01:36.060 --> 01:39.360 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, 01:39.680 --> 01:41.640 saying, This is the heir. 01:41.920 --> 01:44.720 Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 01:45.500 --> 01:47.860 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. 01:49.000 --> 01:51.680 What therefore shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them? 01:52.220 --> 01:55.940 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to 01:55.940 --> 01:56.360 others. 01:56.660 --> 01:58.680 And when they heard it, they said, God forbid! 01:58.960 --> 02:02.060 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written? 02:02.680 --> 02:06.480 The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner. 02:08.360 --> 02:11.040 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken. 02:11.960 --> 02:16.000 But on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 02:16.240 --> 02:20.260 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him, 02:20.260 --> 02:24.320 and they feared the people, for they perceived that he had spoken this parable 02:24.320 --> 02:24.920 against them. 02:25.800 --> 02:30.580 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should fame themselves just 02:30.580 --> 02:35.080 men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto 02:35.080 --> 02:36.680 the power and authority of the governor. 02:37.320 --> 02:41.780 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest 02:41.780 --> 02:47.660 rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly. 02:48.200 --> 02:52.280 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 02:52.680 --> 02:57.680 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 02:59.160 --> 03:00.020 Show me a penny. 03:01.320 --> 03:03.480 Whose image and superscription hath it? 03:03.660 --> 03:05.220 They answered and said, Caesar's. 03:05.260 --> 03:09.880 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, 03:10.340 --> 03:12.960 and unto God the things which be God's. 03:13.140 --> 03:17.440 And they could not take hold of his words before the people, and they marveled at 03:17.440 --> 03:19.260 his answer, and held their peace. 03:20.320 --> 03:24.660 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection. 03:25.160 --> 03:31.160 And they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother 03:31.160 --> 03:35.920 die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his 03:35.920 --> 03:38.300 wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 03:38.900 --> 03:42.980 There were therefore seven brethren, and the first took a wife, and died 03:42.980 --> 03:43.720 without children. 03:43.720 --> 03:47.640 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 03:47.940 --> 03:53.600 And the third took her, and in like manner the seven also, and they left no children, 03:53.980 --> 03:54.600 and died. 03:55.160 --> 03:57.580 Last of all, the woman died also. 03:57.980 --> 04:01.840 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? 04:02.120 --> 04:04.520 For seven had her to wife. 04:04.960 --> 04:09.220 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, 04:09.520 --> 04:10.700 and are given in marriage. 04:10.700 --> 04:15.580 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection 04:15.580 --> 04:18.600 from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. 04:19.400 --> 04:23.480 Neither can they die any more, for they are equal unto the angels, 04:24.100 --> 04:27.420 and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 04:28.520 --> 04:33.120 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the 04:33.120 --> 04:37.280 Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 04:38.200 --> 04:43.540 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living, for all live unto him. 04:44.080 --> 04:48.580 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 04:48.800 --> 04:52.680 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. 04:53.040 --> 04:56.480 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? 04:57.240 --> 05:01.400 And David himself sayeth in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, 05:02.020 --> 05:05.920 Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 05:06.920 --> 05:10.780 David therefore calleth him, Lord, how is he then his son? 05:11.160 --> 05:15.780 Then in the audience of all the people, he said unto his disciples, Beware of the 05:15.780 --> 05:20.840 scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, 05:21.220 --> 05:24.840 and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts, 05:25.340 --> 05:29.360 which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers. 05:30.240 --> 05:32.220 The same shall receive greater damnation.
