Coptic New Testament
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.

3They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.

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

6Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

7But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

12They 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.

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?
14✠
15Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”

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,

19“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.’

20There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

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

25For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

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?”

34When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
