Luke Chapter 20

• Luke 20:1
  Luke.
• Luke 20:2
  On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
• Luke 20:3
  They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
• Luke 20:4
  He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
• Luke 20:5
  the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
• Luke 20:6
  They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
• Luke 20:7
  But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
• Luke 20:8
  They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
• Luke 20:9
  Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
• Luke 20:10
  He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
• Luke 20:11
  At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away e...
• Luke 20:12
  He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
• Luke 20:13
  He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
• Luke 20:14
  The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
• Luke 20:15
  “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
• Luke 20:16
  Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
• Luke 20:17
  He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
• Luke 20:18
  But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
• Luke 20:19
  Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
• Luke 20:20
  The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable again...
• Luke 20:21
  They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the powe...
• Luke 20:22
  They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
• Luke 20:23
  Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
• Luke 20:24
  But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
• Luke 20:25
  Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
• Luke 20:26
  He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
• Luke 20:27
  They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
• Luke 20:28
  Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
• Luke 20:29
  They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and rais...
• Luke 20:30
  There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
• Luke 20:31
  The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
• Luke 20:32
  The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
• Luke 20:33
  Afterward the woman also died.
• Luke 20:34
  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
• Luke 20:35
  Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.
• Luke 20:36
  But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
• Luke 20:37
  For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
• Luke 20:38
  But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
• Luke 20:39
  Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
• Luke 20:40
  Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
• Luke 20:41
  They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
• Luke 20:42
  He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
• Luke 20:43
  David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
• Luke 20:44
  until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
• Luke 20:45
  “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
• Luke 20:46
  In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
• Luke 20:47
  “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places...
• Luke 20:48
  who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
