1And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10And have you not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11This was Yahuah's (Lord’s) doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
12And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
13And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that you are true, and carest for no man: for you regard not the person of men, but teach the way of Elohim (God) in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
15Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt you me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16And they brought it. And he says unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.
17And Yahusha (Jesus) answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to Elohim (God) the things that are Elohim's (God’s). And they marvelled at him.
18Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24And Yahusha (Jesus) answering said unto them, Do you not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, neither the power of Elohim (God)?
25For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
26And as touching the dead, that they rise: have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush Elohim (God) spake unto him, saying, I am the Elohim (God) of Abraham, and the Elohim (God) of Isaac, and the Elohim (God) of Jacob?
27He is not the Elohim (God) of the dead, but the Elohim (God) of the living: you therefore do greatly err.
28And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29And Yahusha (Jesus) answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Yashar'el (Israel); Yahuah Eloheinu (The Lord our God) is one Yahuah (Lord):
30And you shall love Yahuah Elohayka (the Lord thy God) with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment.
31And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one Elohim (God); and there is none other but he:
33And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34And when Yahusha (Jesus) saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, You are not far from the kingdom of Elohim (God). And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35And Yahusha (Jesus) answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Messiah (Christ) is the Son of David?
36For David himself said by the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), Yahuah (LORD) said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool.
37David therefore himself calls him the Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41And Yahusha (Jesus) sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43And he called unto him his disciples, and says unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow has cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
