Luke

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

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

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

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:

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
