CHAPTER 20

| 1 | και |  | εγενετο |  | εν |  | μια |  | των |  | ημερων |  | εκεινων |  | διδασκοντος |  | αυτου |
|  | And |  | it came to pass |  | on |  | one |  | of those days, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | as was 2 teaching 3 |  | he 1 |

τον |  | λαον |  | εν |  | τω |  | ιερω |  | και |  | ευαγγελιζομενου |  | επεστησαν |  | οι |  | αρχιερεις |
the |  | people |  | in |  | the |  | temple |  | and |  | announcing the glad tidings, |  | came up |  | the |  | chief priests |

και |  | οι |  | γραμματεις |  | συν |  | τοις |  | πρεσβυτεροις |  |
and |  | the |  | scribes |  | with |  | the |  | elders |  |

| 2 | και |  | ειπον |  | προς |  | αυτον |  | λεγοντες |  | ειπε |  | ημιν |  | εν |  | ποια |  | εξουσια |  | ταυτα |
|  | and |  | spoke |  | to |  | him, |  | saying, |  | Tell |  | us |  | by |  | what |  | authority |  | these things |

ποιεις |  | η |  | τις |  | εστιν |  | ο |  | δους |  | σοι |  | την |  | εξουσιαν |  | ταυτην |  |
thou doest, |  | or |  | who |  | it is |  | who |  | gave |  | to thee |  | ♦ |  | this authority? |  | ♦ |  |

| 3 | αποκριθεις |  | δε |  | ειπεν |  | προς |  | αυτους |  | ερωτησω |  | υμας |  | καγω |  | ενα |  | λογον |  | και |
|  | And answering |  | ♦ |  | he said |  | to |  | them, |  | Will 3 ask 4 |  | you 5 |  | I 1 also 2 |  | one |  | thing, |  | and |

ειπατε |  | μοι |  |
tell |  | me, |  |

| 4 | το |  | βαπτισμα |  | ιωαννου |  | εξ |  | ουρανου |  | ην |  | η |  | εξ |  | ανθρωπων |  |
|  | The |  | baptism |  | of John |  | from |  | heaven |  | was it |  | or |  | from |  | men? |  |

| 5 | οι |  | δε |  | συνελογισαντο |  | προς |  | εαυτους |  | λεγοντες |  | οτι |  | εαν |  | ειπωμεν |
|  | And they |  | ♦ |  | reasoned |  | among |  | themselves, |  | saying, |  | ♦ |  | If |  | we should say |

εξ |  | ουρανου |  | ερει |  | δια |  | τι |  | ουν |  | ουκ |  | επιστευσατε |  |
From |  | heaven, |  | he will say |  | Why |  | then |  | did ye not believe |  | ♦ |  | him? |  |

| 6 | εαν |  | δε |  | ειπωμεν |  | εξ |  | ανθρωπων |  | πας |  | ο |  | λαος |  | καταλιθασει |  | ημας |
|  | But if |  | ♦ |  | we should say |  | From |  | men, |  | all |  | the |  | people |  | will stone |  | us; |

πεπεισμενος |  | γαρ |  | εστιν |  | ιωαννην |  | προφητην |  | ειναι |  |
for they are persuaded [that] |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | John |  | a 2 prophet 3 |  | was. 1 |  |

| 7 | και |  | απεκριθησαν |  | μη |  | ειδεναι |  | ποθεν |  |
|  | And |  | they answered |  | they knew not |  | ♦ |  | whence. |  |

| 8 | και |  | ο |  | ιησους |  | ειπεν |  | αυτοις |  | ουδε |  | εγω |  | λεγω |  | υμιν |  | εν |  | ποια |  | εξουσια |
|  | And |  | ♦ |  | Jesus |  | said |  | to them, |  | Neither |  | I 2 |  | tell 1 |  | you |  | by |  | what |  | authority |

ταυτα |  | ποιω |  |
these things |  | I do. |  |

| 9 | ηρξατο |  | δε |  | προς |  | τον |  | λαον |  | λεγειν |  | την |  | παραβολην |  | ταυτην |
|  | And he began |  | ♦ |  | to |  | the |  | people |  | to speak |  | this parable: |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |

ανθρωπος |  | τις |  | εφυτευσεν |  | αμπελωνα |  | και |  | εξεδοτο |  | αυτον |  | γεωργοις |
A man 2 |  | certain 1 |  | planted |  | a vineyard, |  | and |  | let out |  | it |  | to husbandmen, |

και |  | απεδημησεν |  | χρονους |  | ικανους |  |
and |  | left the country |  | for along time. |  | ♦ |  |

| 10 | και |  | εν |  | καιρω |  | απεστειλεν |  | προς |  | τους |  | γεωργους |  | δουλον |  | ινα |  | απο |  | του
|  | And |  | in |  | [the] season |  | he sent |  | to |  | the |  | husbandmen |  | a bondman, |  | that |  | from |  | the

| καρπου |  | του |  | αμπελωνος |  | δωσιν |  | αυτω |  | οι |  | δε |  | γεωργοι |  | δειραντες |
| fruit |  | of the |  | vineyard |  | they might give |  | to him: |  | but the |  | ♦ |  | husbandmen |  | having beat |

αυτον |  | εξαπεστειλαν |  | κενον |  |
him |  | sent [him] away |  | empty. |  |

| 11 | και |  | προσεθετο |  | πεμψαι |  | ετερον |  | δουλον |  | οι |  | δε |  | κακεινον |  | δειραντες |
|  | And |  | he added |  | to send |  | another |  | bondman; |  | but they |  | ♦ |  | also 4 him 3 |  | having 1 beat 2 |

και |  | ατιμασαντες |  | εξαπεστειλαν |  | κενον |  |
and |  | dishonoured [him] |  | sent [him] away |  | empty. |  |

| 12 | και |  | προσεθετο |  | πεμψαι |  | τριτον |  | οι |  | δε |  | και |  | τουτον |  | τραυματισαντες |
|  | And |  | he added |  | to send |  | a third; |  | and they |  | ♦ |  | also 4 |  | him 3 |  | having 1 wounded 2 |

εξεβαλον |  |
cast [him] out. |  |

| 13 | ειπεν |  | δε |  | ο |  | κυριος |  | του |  | αμπελωνος |  | τι |  | ποιησω |  | πεμψω |  | τον |  | υιον |
|  | And said |  | ♦ |  | the |  | lord |  | of the |  | vineyard, |  | What |  | shall I do? |  | I will send |  | my son |  | ♦ |

μου |  | τον |  | αγαπητον |  | ισως |  | τουτον |  | ιδοντες |  | εντραπησονται |  |
♦ |  | the |  | beloved; |  | perhaps |  | him |  | having seen |  | they will respect. |  |

| 14 | ιδοντες |  | δε |  | αυτον |  | οι |  | γεωργοι |  | διελογιζοντο |  | προς |  | εαυτους |
|  | But having seen |  | ♦ |  | him |  | the |  | husbandmen |  | reasoned |  | among |  | themselves, |

λεγοντες |  | ουτος |  | εστιν |  | ο |  | κληρονομος |  | δευτε |  | αποκτεινωμεν |  | αυτον |  | ινα |
saying, |  | This |  | is |  | the |  | heir; |  | come |  | let us kill |  | him, |  | that |

ημων |  | γενηται |  | η |  | κληρονομια |  |
ours 5 |  | may 3 become 4 |  | the 1 |  | inheritance. 2 |  |

| 15 | και |  | εκβαλοντες |  | αυτον |  | εξω |  | του |  | αμπελωνος |  | απεκτειναν |  | τι |  | ουν |
|  | And |  | having cast forth |  | him |  | outside |  | the |  | vineyard |  | they killed [him]. |  | What |  | therefore |

ποιησει |  | αυτοις |  | ο |  | κυριος |  | του |  | αμπελωνος |  |
will do |  | to them |  | the |  | lord |  | of the |  | vineyard? |  |

| 16 | ελευσεται |  | και |  | απολεσει |  | τους |  | γεωργους |  | τουτους |  | και |  | δωσει |
|  | He will come |  | and |  | will destroy |  | these husbandmen, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | and |  | will give |

τον |  | αμπελωνα |  | αλλοις |  | ακουσαντες |  | δε |  | ειπον |  | μη |  | γενοιτο |  |
the |  | vineyard |  | to others. |  | And having heard [it] |  | ♦ |  | they said, |  | Not 3 |  | may 1 it 2 be! |  |

| 17 | ο |  | δε |  | εμβλεψας |  | αυτοις |  | ειπεν |  | τι |  | ουν |  | εστιν |  | το |  | γεγραμμενον |
|  | But he |  | ♦ |  | looking at |  | them |  | said, |  | What |  | then |  | is |  | that 2 |  | has 3 been 4 written 5 |

τουτο |  | λιθον |  | ον |  | απεδοκιμασαν |  | οι |  | οικοδομουντες |  | ουτος |
this, 1 |  | [The] stone |  | which |  | rejected 4 |  | they 1 that 2 |  | build, 3 |  | this |

εγενηθη |  | εις |  | κεφαλην |  | γωνιας |  |
is become |  | ♦ |  | head |  | of [the] corner? |  |

| 18 | πας |  | ο |  | πεσων |  | επ |  | εκεινον |  | τον |  | λιθον |  | συνθλασθησεται |
|  | Everyone |  | the |  | falls |  | on |  | that |  | ♦ |  | stone |  | will be broken, |

εφ |  | ον |  | δ |  | αν |  | πεση |  | λικμησει |  | αυτον |  |
but on whomsoever |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | it may fall |  | it will grind to 2 powder 3 |  | him. 1 |  |

| 19 | και |  | εζητησαν |  | οι |  | αρχιερεις |  | και |  | οι |  | γραμματεις |  | επιβαλειν |  | επ |  | αυτον |
|  | And |  | sought 7 |  | the 1 |  | chief 2 priests 3 |  | and 4 |  | the 5 |  | scribes 6 |  | to lay |  | on 2 |  | him 3 |

τας |  | χειρας |  | εν |  | αυτη |  | τη |  | ωρα |  | και |  | εφοβηθησαν |  | τον |  | λαον |  | εγνωσαν |  | γαρ |
♦ |  | hands 1 |  | in |  | that hour, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | and |  | they feared |  | the |  | people; |  | for they knew |  | ♦ |

οτι |  | προς |  | αυτους |  | την |  | παραβολην |  | ταυτην |  | ειπεν |  |
that |  | against |  | them |  | this parable |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | he speaks. |  |

| 20 | και |  | παρατηρησαντες |  | απεστειλαν |  | εγκαθετους |  | υποκρινομενους |
|  | And |  | having watched [him] |  | they sent |  | secret agents, |  | feigning |

εαυτους |  | δικαιους |  | ειναι |  | ινα |  | επιλαβωνται |  | αυτου |  | λογου |  | εις |  | το |
themselves |  | righteous 3 |  | to 1 be, 2 |  | that |  | they might take hold |  | of him |  | in discourse, |  | to |  | the [end] |

παραδουναι |  | αυτον |  | τη |  | αρχη |  | και |  | τη |  | εξουσια |  | του |  | ηγεμονος |  |
to deliver up |  | him |  | to the |  | power |  | and |  | to the |  | authority |  | of the |  | governor. |  |

| 21 | και |  | επηρωτησαν |  | αυτον |  | λεγοντες |  | διδασκαλε |  | οιδαμεν |  | οτι |  | ορθως |
|  | And |  | they questioned |  | him, |  | saying, |  | Teacher, |  | we know |  | that |  | rightly |

λεγεις |  | και |  | διδασκεις |  | και |  | ου |  | λαμβανεις |  | προσωπον |  | αλλ |  | επ |
thou sayest |  | and |  | teachest, |  | and |  | acceptest not |  | ♦ |  | [any man’s] person, |  | but |  | with |

|  | it is lawful |  | for us |  | to 4 Ceasar 5 |  | tribute 3 |  | to 1 give 2 |  | or |  | not? |  |

| 23 | κατανοησας |  | δε |  | αυτων |  | την |  | πανουργιαν |  | ειπεν |  | προς |  | αυτους |  | τι |  | με |
|  | But perceiving |  | ♦ |  | their |  | ♦ |  | craftiness |  | he said |  | to |  | them, |  | Why |  | me |

πειραζετε |  |
