1And he began to speak unto them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and compassed it with an hedge, and ordained a winepress, and built a tower in it, and let it out to hire unto husbandmen, and went into a strange country. 2And when the time was come he sent to the tenants a servant that he might receive of the tenants of the fruit of the vineyard. 3And they caught him and beat him and sent him again empty. 4And moreover he sent unto them another servant, and at him they cast stones and brake his head, and sent him again all too reviled. 5And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many other, beating some, and killing some. 6Yet had he one son whom he loved tenderly, him also sent he at the last unto them, saying: they will fear my son. 7But the tenants said within 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 then the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and let out the vineyard to other.

10Have ye not read this scripture? the stone which the builders did refuse, is made the chief stone in the corner:

11This was done of the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.

12And they went about to take him, but they feared the people. For they perceived that he spake that similitude against them. And they left him and went their way.

13And they sent unto him certain of the pharises with Herode's servants, to take him in his words. 14And as soon as they were come, they said unto him: master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: For thou considerest not the degree of men, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Cesar, or not? 15ought we to give, or ought we not to give? He knew their dissimulation, and said unto them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it. 16And they brought him one. And he said unto them: Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cesar's. 17And Iesus answered, and said unto them: Then give to Cesar that which belongeth to Cesar: and give God that which pertaineth to God. And they marvelled at him.

18And the saduces came unto him, which say, there is no resurrection. And they asked him saying: 19Master, Moses wrote unto us, if any man's brother die, and leave his wife, behind him, and leave no children: that then his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20There were seven brethren and the first took a wife, and when he died left no seed behind him. 21And the second took her, and died: neither left he any seed, and the third likewise. 22And seven had her, and left no seed behind them. Last of all the wife died also. 23In the resurrection then, when they shall rise again: whose wife shall she be of them? For seven had her to wife. 24Iesus answered, and said unto them: Are ye not therefore deceived because ye know not the scriptures? Neither the power of God? 25For when they shall rise again from death, they neither marry, nor are married: but are as the angels which are in heaven. 26As touching the dead, that they shall rise again: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? 27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living, ye are therefore greatly deceived.

28And there came one of the scribes, and when he had heard them disputing together, and perceived that he had answered them well, he asked him: Which is the first of all the commandments? 29Iesus answered him: the first of all the commandments is. Hear Israhel, our Lord God, is one Lord. 30And thou shalt love thy Lord God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. 31And the second is like unto this. Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thy self. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32And the scribe said unto him: well master, thou hast said the truth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he. 33And to love him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the strength. And to love a man's neighbor as himself, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices. 34And when Iesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

35And Iesus answered, and said teaching in the temple: how say the scribes, that Christ is the son of David?

36for David himself inspired with the holy ghost said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy foot stool.

37Then David himself calleth him Lord, and by what means is he then his son? And much 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 market places, 39and the chief seats in the synagogues, and to sit in the uppermost rooms at feasts, 40and devour widows' houses, and under a colour pray long prayers. These shall have greater damnation.

41And Iesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people put 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 said unto them: Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury. 44For they all put in of their superfluity: But she of her poverty, cast in all that she had, even all her living.
