Part 17

41:011:022 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

41:011:023 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

41:011:024 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

41:011:025 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

41:011:026 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

41:011:027 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

41:011:028 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

41:011:029 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

41:011:030 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

41:011:031 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

41:011:032 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

41:011:033 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

41:012:001 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

41:012:002 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

41:012:003 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

41:012:004 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

41:012:005 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

41:012:006 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

41:012:007 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

41:012:008 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

41:012:009 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

41:012:010 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

41:012:011 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

41:012:012 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

41:012:013 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

41:012:014 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

41:012:015 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

41:012:016 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
