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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?

And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;

and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.

And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.

but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

for he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. they are all then alive with respect to him.

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what'shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?

But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand.

But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and'some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

"Some of you they will put to death. And you shall be hated by all men for the sake of my name.

And they said, Nothing. Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"

And saying as they did so: "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."
