Ang Biblia (1978)
20 At nangyari, sa (A)isa sa mga araw, samantalang tinuturuan niya ang bayan sa templo, at ipinangangaral ang evangelio, na nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga saserdote, at ang mga eskriba pati ng matatanda;
2 At sila'y nangagsalita, na nangagsasabi sa kaniya, Sabihin mo sa amin: Sa anong kapamahalaan ginagawa mo ang mga bagay na ito? o sino ang nagbigay sa iyo ng kapamahalaang ito?
3 At siya'y sumagot, at sinabi sa kanila, Tatanungin ko naman kayo ng isang tanong; at sabihin ninyo sa akin:
4 Ang bautismo ni Juan, ay mula baga sa langit, o sa mga tao?
5 At sila'y nangagkatuwiranan, na nangagsasabi, Kung sabihin natin, Mula sa langit; ay sasabihin niya, Bakit hindi ninyo siya pinaniwalaan?
6 Datapuwa't kung sabihin natin, Mula sa mga tao; ay babatuhin tayo ng buong bayan, (B)sapagka't sila'y nanganiniwala na si Juan ay propeta.
7 At sila'y nagsisagot, na hindi nila nalalaman kung saan mula.
8 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Hindi ko rin naman sasabihin sa inyo kung sa anong kapamahalaan ginagawa ko ang mga bagay na ito.
9 At siya'y nagpasimulang magsabi sa bayan ng talinghagang ito: (C)Nagtanim ang isang tao ng isang ubasan, at ipinagkatiwala sa mga magsasaka, at napasa ibang lupain na mahabang panahon.
10 At sa kapanahunan ay nagsugo siya ng isang alipin sa mga magsasaka, upang siya'y bigyan ng bunga ng ubas: datapuwa't hinampas siya ng mga magsasaka, at pinauwing walang dala.
11 At nagsugo pa siya ng ibang alipin: at ito nama'y kanilang hinampas, at inalimura, at pinauwing walang dala.
12 At nagsugo pa siya ng ikatlo: at kanila ring sinugatan ito, at pinalayas.
13 At sinabi ng panginoon ng ubasan, Anong gagawin ko? aking susuguin ang minamahal kong anak; marahil siya'y igagalang nila.
14 Datapuwa't nang makita siya ng mga magsasaka, ay nangagsangusapan sila, na sinasabi, Ito ang tagapagmana; atin siyang patayin upang ang mana ay maging atin.
15 At itinaboy nila siya sa ubasan, at pinatay siya. Ano nga kaya ang gagawin sa kanila ng panginoon ng ubasan?
16 Paroroon siya at pupuksain niya ang mga magsasakang ito, at ibibigay ang ubasan sa mga iba. At nang marinig nila ito, ay sinabi nila, Huwag nawang mangyari.
17 Datapuwa't kaniyang tinitigan sila, at sinabi, Ano nga baga ito na nasusulat,
(D)Ang batong itinakuwil ng nangagtatayo ng gusali.
Ay siya ring ginawang pangulo sa panulok?
18 Ang bawa't mahulog sa ibabaw ng batong yaon ay madudurog; datapuwa't sinomang kaniyang malagpakan, ay kaniyang pangangalating gaya ng alabok.
19 At (E)pinagsisikapan siyang hulihin sa oras ding yaon ng mga eskriba at ng mga pangulong saserdote; at sila'y nangatatakot sa bayan: sapagka't nahalata nila na sinabi niya ang talinghagang ito laban sa kanila.
20 At siya'y inaabangan nila, at (F)sila'y nangagsugo ng mga tiktik, na nangagpakunwaring mga matuwid, upang siya'y mahuli sa kaniyang salita, na siya'y maibigay sa pamiminuno at sa kapamahalaan ng (G)gobernador.
21 At kanilang tinanong siya, na sinasabi, Guro, nalalaman namin na ikaw ay nagsasabi at nagtuturo ng matuwid, at wala kang itinatanging tao, kundi itinuturo mo ang katotohanan ng daan ng Dios.
22 Matuwid bagang kami ay bumuwis kay Cesar, o hindi?
23 Datapuwa't napagkilala niya ang kanilang lalang, at sinabi sa kanila,
24 Pagpakitaan ninyo ako (H)ng isang denario. Kanino ang larawan at ang nasusulat dito? At sinabi nila, Kay Cesar.
25 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Kung gayo'y ibigay ninyo kay Cesar ang kay Cesar, at ang sa Dios ang sa Dios.
26 At sila'y hindi nakahuli sa kaniyang mga pananalita sa harap ng bayan: at sila'y nanganggilalas sa kaniyang sagot, at hindi nangagsiimik.
27 At may lumapit sa kaniyang ilan sa mga Saduceo, na nagsisipagsabi na walang pagkabuhay na maguli;
28 At kanilang itinanong sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Guro, isinulat sa amin ni Moises, (I)na kung ang kapatid na lalake ng isang lalake ay mamatay, na may asawa, at siya'y walang anak, ay kunin ng kaniyang kapatid ang asawa, at bigyang anak ang kaniyang kapatid.
29 Mayroon ngang pitong lalaking magkakapatid: at nagasawa ang panganay, at namatay na walang anak;
30 At ang pangalawa:
31 At ang pangatlo'y nagasawa sa bao; at gayon din ang pito naman ay hindi nagiwan ng mga anak, at nangamatay.
32 Pagkatapos ay namatay naman ang babae.
33 Sa pagkabuhay na maguli nga, kanino sa kanila magiging asawa kaya ang babaing yaon? sapagka't siya'y naging asawa ng pito.
34 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Nagsisipagasawa ang mga anak ng sanglibutang ito, at pinapagaasawa:
35 Datapuwa't ang mga (J)inaaring karapatdapat magkamit ng sanlibutang yaon, at ng pagkabuhay na maguli sa mga patay, ay hindi mangagaasawa, ni papagaasawahin:
36 Sapagka't hindi na sila maaaring mangamatay pa: sapagka't kahalintulad na sila ng mga anghel; at sila'y mga anak ng Dios, palibhasa'y mga anak ng pagkabuhay na maguli.
37 Datapuwa't tungkol sa pagbabangon ng mga patay, (K)ay ipinakilala rin naman ni Moises sa Mababang punong kahoy, nang tinawag niya ang Panginoon na Dios ni Abraham, at Dios ni Isaac, at Dios ni Jacob.
38 Siya nga'y hindi Dios ng mga patay, kundi ng mga buhay: sapagka't nangabubuhay sa kaniya (L)ang lahat.
39 At pagsagot ng ilan sa mga eskriba, ay nangagsabi, Guro, mabuti ang pagkasabi mo.
40 Sapagka't (M)hindi na nga sila nangahas tumanong pa sa kaniya ng anomang tanong.
41 (N)At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Paanong sinasabi nila na ang Cristo ay anak ni David?
42 Sapagka't si David din ang nagsasabi sa aklat ng Mga Awit,
(O)Sinabi ng Panginoon sa aking Panginoon;
Maupo ka sa aking kanan,
43 Hanggang sa gawin ko ang iyong mga kaaway na tuntungan ng iyong mga paa.
44 Dahil dito tinatawag siyang Panginoon ni David, at paanong siya'y anak niya?
45 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga alagad, (P)na naririnig ng buong bayan,
46 Mangagingat kayo sa mga eskriba na ibig magsilakad na may mahahabang damit, at iniibig nila ang sila'y pagpugayan sa mga pamilihan, at ang mga pangulong upuan sa mga sinagoga, at ang mga pangulong dako sa mga pigingan;
47 Na sinasakmal nila ang mga bahay ng mga babaing bao, at sa pagpakunwaring banal ay nanalangin ng mahaba: ang mga ito'y tatanggap ng lalong malaking kahatulan.

The Authority of Jesus Questioned(A)
20 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts(B) and proclaiming the good news,(C) the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. 2 “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?”(D)
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me: 4 John’s baptism(E)—was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
5 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people(F) will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”(G)
7 So they answered, “We don’t know where it was from.”
8 Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
The Parable of the Tenants(H)
9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard,(I) rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.(J) 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love;(K) perhaps they will respect him.’
14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those tenants(L) and give the vineyard to others.”
When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”
17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”(N)
19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him(O) immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.(P)
Paying Taxes to Caesar(Q)
20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said,(R) so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.(S) 21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.(T) 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(U) and to God what is God’s.”
26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.
The Resurrection and Marriage(V)
27 Some of the Sadducees,(W) who say there is no resurrection,(X) came to Jesus with a question. 28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.(Y) 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come(Z) and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children,(AA) since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[b](AB) 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!” 40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.(AC)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AD)
41 Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?(AE) 42 David himself declares in the Book of Psalms:
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
43 until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’[c](AF)
44 David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
Warning Against the Teachers of the Law
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(AG) 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

King James Version
20 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,
2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
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.
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.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
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.
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.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
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?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
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.
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.
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:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
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.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

The Authority of Jesus Challenged
20 (A)One day, (B)as Jesus[a] was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, (C)the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up 2 and said to him, “Tell us (D)by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.” 3 He answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me, 4 was the baptism of John (E)from heaven or from man?” 5 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, (F)‘Why did you not believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was (G)a prophet.” 7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from. 8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
The Parable of the Wicked Tenants
9 (H)And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted (I)a vineyard and (J)let it out to tenants and (K)went into another country for a long while. 10 When the time came, he sent a servant[b] to the tenants, so that (L)they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. (M)But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 (N)And (O)he sent another servant. But they also beat and (P)treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 (Q)And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out. 13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my (R)beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, (S)‘This is the heir. (T)Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ 15 And they (U)threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 (V)He will (W)come and destroy those tenants and (X)give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” 17 But he (Y)looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
18 (AA)Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls (AB)on anyone, it will crush him.”
Paying Taxes to Caesar
19 (AC)The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. 20 (AD)So they (AE)watched him and sent spies, who (AF)pretended to be sincere, that they might (AG)catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of (AH)the governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and (AI)show no partiality,[d] but truly teach (AJ)the way of God. 22 Is it lawful for us to give (AK)tribute to (AL)Caesar, or not?” 23 But he perceived their (AM)craftiness, and said to them, 24 “Show me (AN)a denarius.[e] Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar's.” 25 He said to them, “Then (AO)render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people (AP)to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.
Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection
27 There came to him (AQ)some Sadducees, (AR)those who deny that there is a resurrection, 28 and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us (AS)that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man[f] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.”
34 And Jesus said to them, (AT)“The sons of this age (AU)marry and (AV)are given in marriage, 35 but those who are (AW)considered worthy to attain to (AX)that age and to the resurrection from the dead (AY)neither marry (AZ)nor are given in marriage, 36 for (BA)they cannot die anymore, because they are (BB)equal to angels and (BC)are (BD)sons of God, being (BE)sons[g] of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead are raised, (BF)even Moses showed, in (BG)the passage about the bush, where he calls (BH)the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all (BI)live to him.” 39 Then some of the scribes (BJ)answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” 40 For (BK)they no longer dared to ask him any question.
Whose Son Is the Christ?
41 (BL)But he said to them, “How can they say that (BM)the Christ is (BN)David's son? 42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms,
(BO)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
43 until I make your enemies (BP)your footstool.”’
44 David thus calls him Lord, so (BQ)how is he his son?”
Beware of the Scribes
45 (BR)And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and (BS)the places of honor at feasts, 47 (BT)who devour widows' houses and (BU)for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
