He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country. Isa 5:1-4Mrk 13:34Sng 8:11-12Mat 25:14Mrk 4:2Mrk 4:33-34Psa 80:8-16Rom 11:17-24 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard. Jhn 15:1-82Ch 36:152Ki 17:13Ezr 9:11Heb 1:1Jdg 6:8-10Jer 25:4-5Jer 35:15 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty. 1Th 2:152Ch 36:16Act 7:52Heb 11:36-37Jer 26:20-24Jer 29:26Neh 9:261Ki 18:13 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some. Jer 7:25-28Luk 6:22-23Luk 6:36Mat 21:35-36Mat 22:6Mat 23:37Mat 5:12Mrk 9:13 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ Heb 1:1-2Mat 3:17Jhn 1:341Jn 4:91Jn 5:11-12Gen 22:12Gen 22:2Gen 37:3 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ Act 13:27-28Act 2:23Act 5:28Act 7:52Gen 3:15Gen 37:20Isa 49:7Isa 53:7-8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. Luk 20:15Mat 21:33Mat 21:39Heb 13:11-13 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. Rom 10:20Luk 19:27Mat 21:43Rom 9:30-33Act 13:46-48Act 28:23-28Dan 9:26-27Deu 28:15-68 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: Psa 118:22-231Pe 2:7-8Isa 28:16Luk 20:17-18Act 4:11-12Mat 21:42Eph 2:20-22Rom 9:33
‘The stone which the builders rejected
was made the head of the corner.
This was from the Lord. Psa 118:23Act 2:32-36Act 3:12-16Hab 1:51Ti 3:16Act 13:40-41Act 2:12Col 1:27
It is marvelous in our eyes’?” 1
They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away. Mrk 11:18Jhn 7:25Jhn 7:30Jhn 7:44Mat 22:22Mrk 11:321Ki 20:38-411Ki 21:17-27 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words. Luk 11:54Luk 20:20-26Mrk 3:6Mrk 8:15Isa 29:21Jer 18:18Mat 16:6Mat 22:15-22 When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 1Th 2:42Co 2:172Co 2:22Co 5:112Co 5:16Gal 1:10Gal 2:11-14Gal 2:6 Shall we give, or shall we not give?” Rev 2:231Co 10:9Act 5:9Ezk 17:2Heb 4:13Jhn 2:24-25Jhn 21:17Luk 20:23
But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
They brought it. 2Ti 2:19Luk 20:24-26Mat 22:19-22Rev 3:12
He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Rom 13:71Co 14:24-251Pe 2:172Co 5:14-15Act 4:19-20Job 5:12-13Mat 22:22Mat 22:46
They marveled greatly at him.
Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying, Act 4:1-2Mat 22:23-331Co 15:13-182Ti 2:18Act 23:6-9Luk 20:27-40 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’ Deu 25:5-10Gen 38:8Rut 1:11-13Rut 4:5 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring. Luk 20:29-33Mat 22:25-28 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise; and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died. In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God? 2Ti 3:15-17Jhn 20:9Mat 22:29Eph 1:19Isa 25:8Act 17:11Hos 6:2Jer 32:17 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Luk 20:35-36Mat 22:301Jn 3:2Heb 12:22-231Co 15:42-54 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 2 Exo 3:2-6Gen 17:7-8Luk 20:37Gen 33:20Act 7:30-32Exo 3:16Gen 26:24Gen 31:42 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.” Rom 14:9Mrk 12:24Rom 4:17Heb 11:13-16Heb 3:10Pro 19:27
One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?” Mat 22:34-40Luk 10:25-28Luk 20:39Mat 19:18Mat 5:19Luk 11:42Mat 23:23
Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Deu 6:4Luk 10:27Gal 3:20Rom 3:301Co 8:4Jas 2:19Jud 1:25Mrk 12:32-33 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 3 This is the first commandment. Deu 6:5 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 4 There is no other commandment greater than these.” Rom 13:8-9Mat 22:39Lev 19:18Luk 10:271Co 13:4-8Mat 7:12Gal 5:141Jn 4:21
The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he; Deu 4:39Deu 4:35Isa 46:9Deu 6:4Isa 45:14Isa 45:18Isa 45:5-6Deu 5:7 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Hos 6:6Mic 6:6-81Sa 15:22Mat 9:13Mat 12:71Co 13:1-3Amo 5:21-24Jer 7:21-23
When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” Col 4:6Luk 20:40Mat 22:46Gal 2:19Job 32:15-16Mat 12:20Rom 3:19-20Rom 7:9
No one dared ask him any question after that. Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? Luk 20:41-44Mat 22:41-45Mat 26:55Jhn 18:20Jhn 7:42Luk 19:47Luk 20:1Luk 21:37 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, Psa 110:1Heb 1:13Mat 22:43-451Co 15:25Heb 10:12-13Act 2:34-36Act 1:162Sa 23:2
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’ 5
Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” Rom 1:3-41Ti 3:16Jas 2:5Jhn 12:9Jhn 7:46-49Luk 19:48Luk 21:38Mat 1:23
The common people heard him gladly. In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces, Luk 20:45-47Mat 23:1-7Luk 11:43Mat 6:5Luk 14:7-11Mat 10:17Mrk 4:23Jn 1:9 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts, Jas 2:2-3 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.” Luk 20:47Mat 23:13Mat 23:33Ezk 22:25Mat 6:72Ti 3:6Luk 12:47-48Mic 3:1-4
Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much. Luk 21:1-42Ki 12:9Jhn 8:20Mat 27:6 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, 6 which equal a quadrans coin. 7 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury, 2Co 8:22Co 9:6-8Act 11:292Co 8:12Exo 35:21-29Mat 10:42 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.” 1Jn 3:172Co 8:2-3Ezr 2:68-69Luk 21:2-4Mrk 14:8Luk 15:30Luk 8:432Ch 24:10-14
