4 Christ stoppeth his adversaries mouthes by another question. 9 Sheweth their destruction by a parable 22 The authority of princes. 27 The resurrection, and his divine power. 45 He reproveth the ambition of the Scribes.
2.And spake unto him, saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is he that hath given thee this authority?
3.And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing: tell me therefore:
5.And they reasoned within them selves, saying, If we shall say from heaven, he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6.But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a Prophet.
7.Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it
11.Again he sent yet another servant: and they did beat him, and fowle entreated him, and sent him away empty.
12.Moreover, he sent the third, & him they wounded, & cast out.
13.Then said the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be that they will do reverence, when they see him.
14.But when the husband men saw him, they reasoned with them selves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15.So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyard therefore do unto them?
16.He will come and destroy these husband men, and will give out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
19.Then the high Priests and the Scribes the same hour went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
21.And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept man’s person, but teachest the way of God truly.
23.But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24.Shewe me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar’s.
26.And they could not reprove his saying before the people: but they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
29.Now there were seven brethren, and the first took a wife, and he died without children.
30.And the second took the wife, and he died childless.
31.Then the third took her: and so likewise the seven died, and left no children.
32.And last of all, the woman died also.
33.Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife.
35.But they which shalbe counted worthy to enjoy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wives, neither are married.
39.Then certain of the Pharises answered and said, Master, thou hast well said.
40.And after that, durst they not ask him any thing at all.
43.Till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool.
45.¶ Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
47.Which devour widows’ houses, even under a colour of long praying: these shall receive greater damnation.
