1He 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.

2When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

4Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

5Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.

13They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

14When 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?

17Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

18Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,

23In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”

28One 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?”
