³ He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,

KJVAs for these things^G5023 which^G3739 ye behold^G2334^(G5719), the days^G2250 will come^G2064^(G5695), in^G1722 the which^G3739 there shall^G863 not^G3756 be left^G863^(G5701) one stone^G3037 upon^G1909 another^G3037, that^G3739 shall^G2647 not^G3756 be thrown down^G2647^(G5701).

⁸ He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), Take heed^G991^(G5720) that ye be^G4105 not^G3361 deceived^G4105^(G5686): for^G1063 many^G4183 shall come^G2064^(G5695) in^G1909 my^G3450 name^G3686, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) Christ; and^G2532 the time^G2540 draweth near^G1448^(G5758): go ye^G4198^(G5680) not^G3361 therefore^G3767 after^G3694 them^G846.

¹⁰ Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

KJVThen^G5119 let them^G5343 which are in^G1722 Judaea^G2449 flee^G5343^(G5720) to^G1519 the mountains^G3735; and^G2532 let them^G1633 which are in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of it^G846 depart out^G1633^(G5720); and^G2532 let^G1525 not^G3361 them that are in^G1722 the countries^G5561 enter^G1525^(G5737) thereinto^G1519^G846.

²⁶ men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

KJVMen's^G444 hearts failing them^G674^(G5723) for^G575 fear^G5401, and^G2532 for looking after^G4329 those things which are coming on^G1904^(G5740) the earth^G3625: for^G1063 the powers^G1411 of heaven^G3772 shall be shaken^G4531^(G5701).

²⁹ He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.

KJVAnd^G2532 he spake^G2036^(G5627) to them^G846 a parable^G3850; Behold^G1492^(G5628) the fig tree^G4808, and^G2532 all^G3956 the trees^G1186;

³⁰ When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.

KJVWhen^G3752 they now^G2235 shoot forth^G4261^(G5632), ye see^G991^(G5723) and know^G1097^(G5719) of^G575 your own selves^G1438 that^G3754 summer^G2330 is^G2076^(G5748) now^G2235 nigh at hand^G1451.

³¹ Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.

KJVSo^G3779 likewise^G2532 ye^G5210, when^G3752 ye see^G1492^(G5632) these things^G5023 come to pass^G1096^(G5740), know ye^G1097^(G5720) that^G3754 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) nigh at hand^G1451.

³² Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.

KJVVerily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213,^G3754 This^G3778 generation^G1074 shall^G3928 not^G3364 pass away^G3928^(G5632),^G302 till^G2193 all^G3956 be fulfilled^G1096^(G5638).

³³ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

KJVHeaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093 shall pass away^G3928^(G5695): but^G1161 my^G3450 words^G3056 shall^G3928 not^G3364 pass away^G3928^(G5632).

³⁴ “So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

KJVAnd^G1161 take heed^G4337^(G5720) to yourselves^G1438, lest at any time^G3379 your^G5216 hearts^G2588 be overcharged^G925^(G5686) with^G1722 surfeiting^G2897, and^G2532 drunkenness^G3178, and^G2532 cares^G3308 of this life^G982, and^G2532 so that^G1565 day^G2250 come^G2186^(G5632) upon^G1909 you^G5209 unawares^G160.

³⁵ For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.

KJVFor^G1063 as^G5613 a snare^G3803 shall it come^G1904^(G5695) on^G1909 all^G3956 them that dwell^G2521^(G5740) on^G1909 the face^G4383 of the whole^G3956 earth^G1093.

³⁶ Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

KJVWatch ye^G69^(G5720) therefore^G3767, and pray^G1189^(G5740) always^G1722^G3956^G2540, that^G2443 ye may be accounted worthy^G2661^(G5686) to escape^G1628^(G5629) all^G3956 these things^G5023 that shall^G3195^(G5723) come to pass^G1096^(G5738), and^G2532 to stand^G2476^(G5683) before^G1715 the Son^G5207 of man^G444.

³⁷ Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

KJVAnd^G1161 in the day time^G2250 he was^G2258^(G5713) teaching^G1321^(G5723) in^G1722 the temple^G2411; and^G1161 at night^G3571 he went out^G1831^(G5740), and abode^G835^(G5711) in^G1519 the mount^G3735 that is called^G2564^(G5746) the mount of Olives^G1636.

³⁸ All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.

KJVAnd^G2532 all^G3956 the people^G2992 came early in the morning^G3719^(G5707) to^G4314 him^G846 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, for to hear^G191^(G5721) him^G846.

WEB·Luke 20

¹On 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.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that on^G1722 one^G3391 of those^G1565 days^G2250, as he^G846 taught^G1321^(G5723) the people^G2992 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 preached the gospel^G2097^(G5734), the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the scribes^G1122 came upon^G2186^(G5627) him with^G4862 the elders^G4245,

² They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”

KJVAnd^G2532 spake^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Tell^G2036^(G5628) us^G2254, by^G1722 what^G4169 authority^G1849 doest thou^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023? or^G2228 who^G5101 is he^G2076^(G5748) that gave^G1325^(G5631) thee^G4671 this^G5026 authority^G1849?

³ He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:

KJVAnd^G1161 he answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, I^G2504 will^G2065 also^G2504 ask^G2065^(G5692) you^G5209 one^G1520 thing^G3056; and^G2532 answer^G2036^(G5628) me^G3427:

⁴ the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”

KJVThe baptism^G908 of John^G2491, was it^G2258^(G5713) from^G1537 heaven^G3772, or^G2228 of^G1537 men^G444?

⁵ They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

KJVAnd^G1161 they reasoned^G4817^(G5662) with^G4314 themselves^G1438, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 If^G1437 we shall say^G2036^(G5632), From^G1537 heaven^G3772; he will say^G2046^(G5692), Why^G1302 then^G3767 believed ye^G4100^(G5656) him^G846 not^G3756?

⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

KJVBut and^G1161 if^G1437 we say^G2036^(G5632), Of^G1537 men^G444; all^G3956 the people^G2992 will stone^G2642^(G5692) us^G2248: for^G1063 they be^G2076^(G5748) persuaded^G3982^(G5772) that John^G2491 was^G1511^(G5750) a prophet^G4396.

⁷ They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.

KJVAnd^G2532 they answered^G611^(G5662), that they could^G1492 not^G3361 tell^G1492^(G5760) whence^G4159 it was.

⁸ Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Neither^G3761 tell^G3004^(G5719) I^G1473 you^G5213 by^G1722 what^G4169 authority^G1849 I do^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023.

⁹ 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.

KJVThen^G1161 began he^G756^(G5662) to speak^G3004^(G5721) to^G4314 the people^G2992 this^G5026 parable^G3850; A certain^G5100 man^G444 planted^G5452^(G5656) a vineyard^G290, and^G2532 let^G1554 it^G846 forth^G1554^(G5639) to husbandmen^G1092, and^G2532 went into a far country^G589^(G5656) for a long^G2425 time^G5550.

¹⁰ 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 empty.

KJVAnd^G2532 at^G1722 the season^G2540 he sent^G649^(G5656) a servant^G1401 to^G4314 the husbandmen^G1092, that^G2443 they should give^G1325^(G5632) him^G846 of^G575 the fruit^G2590 of the vineyard^G290: but^G1161 the husbandmen^G1092 beat^G1194^(G5660) him^G846, and sent him away^G1821^(G5656) empty^G2756.

¹¹ He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G4369^(G5639) he sent^G3992^(G5658) another^G2087 servant^G1401: and^G1161 they beat^G1194^(G5660) him also^G2548, and^G2532 entreated him shamefully^G818^(G5660), and sent him away^G1821^(G5656) empty^G2756.

¹² He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G4369^(G5639) he sent^G3992^(G5658) a third^G5154: and^G1161 they wounded^G5135^(G5660) him^G5126 also^G2532, and cast him out^G1544^(G5627).

¹³ 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.’

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) the lord^G2962 of the vineyard^G290, What^G5101 shall I do^G4160^(G5661)? I will send^G3992^(G5692) my^G3450 beloved^G27 son^G5207: it may be^G2481 they will reverence^G1788^(G5691) him when they see^G1492^(G5631) him^G5126.

¹⁴ “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.’

KJVBut^G1161 when the husbandmen^G1092 saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846, they reasoned^G1260^(G5711) among^G4314 themselves^G1438, saying^G3004^(G5723), This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the heir^G2818: come^G1205^(G5773), let us kill^G615^(G5725) him^G846, that^G2443 the inheritance^G2817 may be^G1096^(G5638) ours^G2257.

¹⁵ Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

KJVSo^G2532 they cast^G1544^(G5631) him^G846 out of^G1854 the vineyard^G290, and killed^G615^(G5656) him. What^G5101 therefore^G3767 shall^G4160 the lord^G2962 of the vineyard^G290 do^G4160^(G5692) unto them^G846?

¹⁶ He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”

KJVHe shall come^G2064^(G5695) and^G2532 destroy^G622^(G5692) these^G5128 husbandmen^G1092, and^G2532 shall give^G1325^(G5692) the vineyard^G290 to others^G243. And^G1161 when they heard^G191^(G5660) it, they said^G2036^(G5627), God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636).

¹⁷ 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’?

KJVAnd^G1161 he beheld^G1689^(G5660) them^G846, and said^G2036^(G5627), What^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G5124 then^G3767 that is written^G1125^(G5772), The stone^G3037 which^G3739 the builders^G3618^(G5723) rejected^G593^(G5656), the same^G3778 is become^G1096^(G5675) the head^G2776 of^G1519 the corner^G1137?

¹⁸ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”

KJVWhosoever^G3956 shall fall^G4098^(G5631) upon^G1909 that^G1565 stone^G3037 shall be broken^G4917^(G5701); but^G1161 on^G1909 whomsoever^G3739^G302 it shall fall^G4098^(G5632), it will grind^G3039 him^G846 to powder^G3039^(G5692).

¹⁹ 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 against them.

KJVAnd^G2532 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the scribes^G1122 the same^G1722^G846 hour^G5610 sought^G2212^(G5656) to lay^G1911^(G5629) hands^G5495 on^G1909 him^G846; and^G2532 they feared^G5399^(G5675) the people^G2992: for^G1063 they perceived^G1097^(G5627) that^G3754 he had spoken^G2036^(G5627) this^G5026 parable^G3850 against^G4314 them^G846.

²⁰ 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 power and authority of the governor.

KJVAnd^G2532 they watched^G3906^(G5660) him, and sent forth^G649^(G5656) spies^G1455, which should feign^G5271^(G5740)^G1511^(G5750) themselves^G1438 just men^G1342, that^G2443 they might take hold^G1949^(G5638) of his^G846 words^G3056, that so^G1519 they might deliver^G3860^(G5629) him^G846 unto the power^G746 and^G2532 authority^G1849 of the governor^G2232.

²¹ 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.

KJVAnd^G2532 they asked^G1905^(G5656) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 thou sayest^G3004^(G5719) and^G2532 teachest^G1321^(G5719) rightly^G3723,^G2532 neither^G3756 acceptest thou^G2983^(G5719) the person^G4383 of any, but^G235 teachest^G1321^(G5719) the way^G3598 of God^G2316 truly^G225^G1909:

²² Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

KJVIs it lawful^G1832^(G5748) for us^G2254 to give^G1325^(G5629) tribute^G5411 unto Caesar^G2541, or^G2228 no^G3756?

²³ But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

KJVBut^G1161 he perceived^G2657^(G5660) their^G846 craftiness^G3834, and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Why^G5101 tempt ye^G3985^(G5719) me^G3165?

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

KJVShew^G1925^(G5657) me^G3427 a penny^G1220. Whose^G5101 image^G1504 and^G2532 superscription^G1923 hath it^G2192^(G5719)? They answered^G611^(G5679) and^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627), Caesar's^G2541.

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Render^G591^(G5628) therefore^G5106 unto Caesar^G2541 the things which be^G3588 Caesar's^G2541, and^G2532 unto God^G2316 the things which be^G3588 God's^G2316.

²⁶ They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.

KJVAnd^G2532 they could^G2480^(G5656) not^G3756 take hold^G1949^(G5635) of his^G846 words^G4487 before^G1726 the people^G2992: and^G2532 they marvelled^G2296^(G5660) at^G1909 his^G846 answer^G612, and held their peace^G4601^(G5656).

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

KJVThen^G1161 came^G4334^(G5631) to him certain^G5100 of the Sadducees^G4523, which^G3588 deny^G483^(G5723) that there is^G1511^(G5750) any^G3361 resurrection^G386; and they asked^G1905^(G5656) him^G846,

²⁸ 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 raise up children for his brother.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, Moses^G3475 wrote^G1125^(G5656) unto us^G2254, If^G1437 any man's^G5100 brother^G80 die^G599^(G5632), having^G2192^(G5723) a wife^G1135, and^G2532 he^G3778 die^G599^(G5632) without children^G815, that^G2443 his^G846 brother^G80 should take^G2983^(G5632) his wife^G1135, and^G2532 raise up^G1817^(G5661) seed^G4690 unto his^G846 brother^G80.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

KJVThere were^G2258^(G5713) therefore^G3767 seven^G2033 brethren^G80: and^G2532 the first^G4413 took^G2983^(G5631) a wife^G1135, and died^G599^(G5627) without children^G815.

³⁰ The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

KJVAnd^G2532 the second^G1208 took^G2983^(G5627) her to wife^G1135, and^G2532 he^G3778 died^G599^(G5627) childless^G815.

³¹ The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

KJVAnd^G2532 the third^G5154 took^G2983^(G5627) her^G846; and^G1161 in like manner^G5615 the seven^G2033 also^G2532: and they left^G2641^(G5627) no^G3756 children^G5043, and^G2532 died^G599^(G5627).

³² Afterward the woman also died.

KJV^G1161 Last^G5305 of all^G3956 the woman^G1135 died^G599^(G5627) also^G2532.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

KJVTherefore^G3767 in^G1722 the resurrection^G386 whose^G5101 wife^G1135 of them^G846 is she^G1096^(G5736)? for^G1063 seven^G2033 had^G2192^(G5627) her^G846 to wife^G1135.

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, The children^G5207 of this^G5127 world^G165 marry^G1060^(G5719), and^G2532 are given in marriage^G1548^(G5743):

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

KJVBut^G1161 they which shall be accounted worthy^G2661^(G5685) to obtain^G5177^(G5629) that^G1565 world^G165, and^G2532 the resurrection^G386 from^G1537 the dead^G3498, neither^G3777 marry^G1060^(G5719), nor^G3777 are given in marriage^G1548^(G5743):

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

KJVNeither^G3777^G1063 can^G1410^(G5736) they die^G599^(G5629) any more^G2089: for^G1063 they are^G1526^(G5748) equal unto the angels^G2465; and^G2532 are^G1526^(G5748) the children^G5207 of God^G2316, being^G5607^(G5752) the children^G5207 of the resurrection^G386.

³⁷ 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.’

KJVNow^G1161 that^G3754 the dead^G3498 are raised^G1453^(G5743), even^G2532 Moses^G3475 shewed^G3377^(G5656) at^G1909 the bush^G942, when^G5613 he calleth^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962 the God^G2316 of Abraham^G11, and^G2532 the God^G2316 of Isaac^G2464, and^G2532 the God^G2316 of Jacob^G2384.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

KJVFor^G1161 he is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 a God^G2316 of the dead^G3498, but^G235 of the living^G2198^(G5723): for^G1063 all^G3956 live^G2198^(G5719) unto him^G846.

³⁹ Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

KJVThen^G1161 certain^G5100 of the scribes^G1122 answering^G611^(G5679) said^G2036^(G5627), Master^G1320, thou hast well^G2573 said^G2036^(G5627).

⁴⁰ They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

KJVAnd^G1161 after that^G3765 they durst^G5111^(G5707) not^G3765 ask^G1905^(G5721) him^G846 any^G3762 question at all.

⁴¹ He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, How^G4459 say^G3004^(G5719) they that Christ^G5547 is^G1511^(G5750) David's^G1138 son^G5207?

⁴² David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

KJVAnd^G2532 David^G1138 himself^G846 saith^G3004^(G5719) in^G1722 the book^G976 of Psalms^G5568, The LORD^G2962 said^G2036^(G5627) unto my^G3450 Lord^G2962, Sit thou^G2521^(G5737) on^G1537 my^G3450 right hand^G1188,

⁴³ until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

KJVTill^G2193^G302 I make^G5087^(G5632) thine^G4675 enemies^G2190 thy^G4675 footstool^G4228^G5286.

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

KJVDavid^G1138 therefore^G3767 calleth^G2564^(G5719) him^G846 Lord^G2962, how^G4459 is he^G2076^(G5748) then^G2532 his^G846 son^G5207?

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

KJVThen^G1161 in the audience^G191^(G5723) of all^G3956 the people^G2992 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto his^G846 disciples^G3101,

⁴⁶ “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 at feasts;

KJVBeware^G4337^(G5720) of^G575 the scribes^G1122, which^G3588 desire^G2309^(G5723) to walk^G4043^(G5721) in^G1722 long robes^G4749, and^G2532 love^G5368^(G5723) greetings^G783 in^G1722 the markets^G58, and^G2532 the highest seats^G4410 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864, and^G2532 the chief rooms^G4411 at^G1722 feasts^G1173;

⁴⁷ who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

KJVWhich^G3739 devour^G2719^(G5719) widows^G5503' houses^G3614, and^G2532 for a shew^G4392 make^G4336 long^G3117 prayers^G4336^(G5736): the same^G3778 shall receive^G2983^(G5695) greater^G4055 damnation^G2917.
