(6) But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
Luke
20
(7) And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
Luke
20
(8) And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Luke
20
(9) 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.
Luke
20
(10) 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.
Luke
20
(11) And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
Luke
20
(12) And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
Luke
20
(13) 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.
Luke
20
(14) 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.
Luke
20
(15) So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
Luke
20
(16) He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
Luke
20
(17) 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?
Luke
20
(18) Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Luke
20
(19) 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.
Luke
20
(20) 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.
Luke
20
(21) 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:
Luke
20
(22) Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
Luke
20
(23) But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
Luke
20
(24) Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
Luke
20
(25) And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
