1 And note he began to speake vnto them in note parables,
note A certaine man planted a vineyard,
and c&obar;passed it with an hedge, & digged a pit for
the winepresse, and built a tower in it, & let it out
to husbandmen, & went into a strange countrey.
2 noteAnd at the time, he sent to the husbandmen
a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen
of the fruite of the vineyard.
3 But they tooke him, and beat him, & sent
him away emptie.
4 And againe he sent vnto them another seruant,
and at him they cast stones, and brake his
head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 And againe he sent another, and him they
slew, & many other, beating some, & killing some.
6 Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued:
him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They
will reuerence my sonne.
Sadduces denying the resurrection.
7 But þe; husbandmen said among themselues,
This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance
shalbe ours.
8 So they tooke him, & killed him, and cast
him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall then the Lord of the vineyard
doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen,
and giue the vineyard to others.
10 Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture?
noteThe stone which the builders did refuse, is made
the head of the corner.
11 This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous
in our eyes.
12 Then they went note about to take him, but
they feared the people: for they perceiued that he
spake that parable against them: therefore they
left him, and went their way.
13 ¶2; note note And they sent vnto him certaine of
the Pharises, and of þe; Herodians that they might
take him in his talke.
14 And when they came, they saide vnto him,
Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for
no man: for thou note considerest not the person of
men, but teachest the note way of God truely, Is it
lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not?
15 Should we giue it, or should we not giue it?
but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them,
Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, þt; I may see it.
16 So they brought it, and he said vnto them,
Whose is this image and superscription? and they
said vnto him, Cesars.
17 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them,
note Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to
God, those þt; are Gods: & they marueiled at him.
18 ¶2; note note Then came the Sadduces vnto him,
(which say, there is no resurrection) & they asked
him, saying,
19 Master, note Moses wrote vnto vs, If any
mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no
children, that his brother should take his wife, and
rayse vp seede vnto his brother.
20 There were seuen brethren, and the first
tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
21 Then the seconde tooke her, and he died,
neither did he yet leaue issue, & the third likewise:
22 So those seuen had her, and left no yssue:
last of all the wife died also.
23 In the resurrection then, when they shall
rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for
seuen had her to wife.
24 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them,
Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe
not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise againe from the
dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married,
but are as the Angels which are in heauen.
26 And as touching the dead, that they shall
rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses,
howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying,
I note am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Iacob?
27 God is not þe; God of the dead, but the God
of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.
28 ¶2; note note Then came one of the Scribes that
had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing
that he had answered them well, he asked him,
Which is the first commandement of all?
29 Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements
is, note Heare, Israel, The Lord our God
is the onely Lord.
-- --
The poore widowe.
30 Thou shalt therefore loue the Lorde thy
God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule,
and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandement.
31 And the second is like, that is, note Thou shalt
loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other
commandement greater then these.
32 Then that Scribe said vnto him, Well, Master,
thou hast saide the trueth, that there is one
God, and that there is none but he,
33 And to loue him with all the heart, and
with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule,
and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour
as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices.
34 Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely,
he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre
from the kingdome of God. And no man after
that durst aske him any question.
35 ¶2; note note And Iesus answered & said teaching
in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ
is the sonne of Dauid?
36 For Dauid himselfe said by note þe; holy Ghost,
note The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
till I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
37 Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by
what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people
heard him gladly.
38 note noteMoreouer he saide vnto them in note his
doctrine, Beware of the Scribes which loue to goe
in note long robes, & loue salutations in the markets,
39 And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues,
and the first roumes at feastes,
40 Which note deuoure widowes houses, euen
vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue
the greater damnation.
41 note noteAnd as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie,
he beheld how the people cast note money into
the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much.
42 And there came a certaine poore widowe,
& she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin.
43 Then he called vnto him his disciples, and
said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that this
poore widowe hath cast more in, then all they
which haue cast into the treasurie.
44 For they all did cast in of their superfluitie:
but she of her pouertie did cast in all that she had,
euen all her liuing.
