a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country. And at the season he sent to
the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandman of
the fruit of the vineyard. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent
him away empty. And 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. And again he sent another; and him they killed,
and many others; beating some, and killing some. Having yet therefore
one son, his well beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying,
'They will reverence my son.' But those husbandmen said among
themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the
inheritance shall be ours.' And they took him, and killed him, and
cast him out of the vineyard. What shall therefore the lord of the
vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give
the vineyard unto others. And have ye not read this scripture; 'The
stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

And 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,

is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or
shall we not give?"

But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them: "Why tempt ye me?
Bring me a penny, that I may see it."

And they brought it. And he saith unto them, "Whose is this image and
superscription?" And they said unto him, "Caesar's." And Jesus
answering said unto them:

"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things
that are God's."

And they marvelled at him.

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection;
and they asked him, saying:

"Master, 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.' Now there were seven
brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And the
