<h3>The Authority of Jesus Challenged</h3>20 One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up 2 and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.” 3 He answered them, <woj>“I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,</woj> 4 <woj>was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?”</woj> 5 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from. 8 And Jesus said to them, <woj>“Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”</woj> <h3>The Parable of the Wicked Tenants</h3> 9 And he began to tell the people this parable: <woj>“A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.</woj> 10 <woj>When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.</woj> 11 <woj> And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.</woj> 12 <woj> And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.</woj> 13 <woj>Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’</woj> 14 <woj>But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’</woj> 15 <woj>And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?</woj> 16 <woj> He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.”</woj> When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” 17 But he looked directly at them and said, <woj>“What then is this that is written:</woj><poetry><woj> “‘The stone that the builders rejected</woj> <indent><woj>has become the cornerstone’? </woj></indent></poetry> 18 <woj> Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”</woj> <h3>Paying Taxes to Caesar</h3> 19 The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. 20 So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God. 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?” 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, 24 <woj>“Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?”</woj> They said, “Caesar's.” 25 He said to them, <woj>“Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”</woj> 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent. <h3>Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection</h3> 27 There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, 28 and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.” 34 And Jesus said to them, <woj> “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,</woj> 35 <woj>but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,</woj> 36 <woj>for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.</woj> 37 <woj>But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.</woj> 38 <woj>Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”</woj> 39 Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” 40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question. <h3>Whose Son Is the Christ?</h3> 41 But he said to them, <woj>“How can they say that the Christ is David's son?</woj> 42 <woj>For David himself says in the Book of Psalms,</woj><poetry><woj> “‘The Lord said to my Lord,</woj> <woj>“Sit at my right hand,</woj> 43 <poetry><woj>    until I make your enemies your footstool.”’</woj></indent></poetry></poetry> 44 <woj>David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”</woj> <h3>Beware of the Scribes</h3> 45 And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, 46 <woj>“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,</woj> 47 <woj> who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”</woj>

Luke 20:1

<cr>1</cr>One day, <cr>2</cr>as Jesus<ft>1</ft> was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, <cr>3</cr>the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up

and said to him, “Tell us <cr>1</cr>by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.”

Luke 20:2

He answered them, <woj>“I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,</woj>

Luke 20:3

<woj>was the baptism of John <cr>1</cr>from heaven or from man?”</woj>

Luke 20:4

And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, <cr>1</cr>‘Why did you not believe him?’

Luke 20:5

But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was <cr>1</cr>a prophet.”

Luke 20:6

So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

Luke 20:7

And Jesus said to them, <woj>“Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”</woj>

Luke 20:8

Luke 20:9

<cr>1</cr>And he began to tell the people this parable: <woj>“A man planted <cr>2</cr>a vineyard and <cr>3</cr>let it out to tenants and <cr>4</cr>went into another country for a long while.</woj>

<woj>When the time came, he sent a servant<ft>1</ft> to the tenants, so that <cr>1</cr>they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. <cr>2</cr>But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.</woj>

Luke 20:10

<woj><cr>1</cr>And <cr>2</cr>he sent another servant. But they also beat and <cr>3</cr>treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.</woj>

Luke 20:11

<woj><cr>1</cr>And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.</woj>

Luke 20:12

<woj>Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my <cr>1</cr>beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’</woj>

Luke 20:13

<woj>But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, <cr>1</cr>‘This is the heir. <cr>2</cr>Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’</woj>

Luke 20:14

<woj>And they <cr>1</cr>threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?</woj>

Luke 20:15

<woj><cr>1</cr>He will <cr>2</cr>come and destroy those tenants and <cr>3</cr>give the vineyard to others.”</woj> When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!”

Luke 20:16

But he <cr>1</cr>looked directly at them and said, <woj>“What then is this that is written:</woj><pb/><poetry><woj><cr>2</cr>“‘The stone that the builders rejected</woj> <indent><woj>has become the cornerstone’?<ft>1</ft></woj></indent></poetry>

Luke 20:17

<woj><cr>1</cr>Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls <cr>2</cr>on anyone, it will crush him.”</woj>

Luke 20:18

Luke 20:19

<cr>1</cr>The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.

<cr>1</cr>So they <cr>2</cr>watched him and sent spies, who <cr>3</cr>pretended to be sincere, that they might <cr>4</cr>catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of <cr>5</cr>the governor.

Luke 20:20

So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and <cr>1</cr>show no partiality,<ft>1</ft> but truly teach <cr>2</cr>the way of God.

Luke 20:21

Is it lawful for us to give <cr>1</cr>tribute to <cr>2</cr>Caesar, or not?”

Luke 20:22

But he perceived their <cr>1</cr>craftiness, and said to them,

Luke 20:23

<woj>“Show me <cr>1</cr>a denarius.<ft>1</ft> Whose likeness and inscription does it have?”</woj> They said, “Caesar's.”

Luke 20:24

He said to them, <woj>“Then <cr>1</cr>render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”</woj>

Luke 20:25

And they were not able in the presence of the people <cr>1</cr>to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.

Luke 20:26

Luke 20:27

There came to him <cr>1</cr>some Sadducees, <cr>2</cr>those who deny that there is a resurrection,

and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us <cr>1</cr>that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man<ft>1</ft> must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.

Luke 20:28

Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.

Luke 20:29

Luke 20:30

and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.

Luke 20:31

Luke 20:32

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.”

Luke 20:33

And Jesus said to them, <woj><cr>1</cr>“The sons of this age <cr>2</cr>marry and <cr>3</cr>are given in marriage,</woj>

Luke 20:34

<woj>but those who are <cr>1</cr>considered worthy to attain to <cr>2</cr>that age and to the resurrection from the dead <cr>3</cr>neither marry <cr>4</cr>nor are given in marriage,</woj>

Luke 20:35

<woj>for <cr>1</cr>they cannot die anymore, because they are <cr>2</cr>equal to angels and <cr>3</cr>are <cr>4</cr>sons of God, being <cr>5</cr>sons<ft>1</ft> of the resurrection.</woj>

Luke 20:36

<woj>But that the dead are raised, <cr>1</cr>even Moses showed, in <cr>2</cr>the passage about the bush, where he calls <cr>3</cr>the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.</woj>

Luke 20:37

<woj>Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all <cr>1</cr>live to him.”</woj>

Luke 20:38

Then some of the scribes <cr>1</cr>answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”

Luke 20:39

For <cr>1</cr>they no longer dared to ask him any question.

Luke 20:40

Luke 20:41

<cr>1</cr>But he said to them, <woj>“How can they say that <cr>2</cr>the Christ is <cr>3</cr>David's son?</woj>

<woj>For David himself says in the Book of Psalms,</woj><pb/><poetry><woj><cr>1</cr>“‘The Lord said to my Lord,</woj> <woj>“Sit at my right hand,</woj>

Luke 20:43

<woj>David thus calls him Lord, so <cr>1</cr>how is he his son?”</woj>

Luke 20:44

Luke 20:45

<cr>1</cr>And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

<woj>“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and <cr>1</cr>the places of honor at feasts,</woj>

Luke 20:46

<woj><cr>1</cr>who devour widows' houses and <cr>2</cr>for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”</woj>

Luke 20:47

 1  One day,  as Jesus  was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel,  the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up 2 and said to him, “Tell us  by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.” 3 He answered them, “I also will ask you a question.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
