Jesus

And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying,

Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;

tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?'

And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, `Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?

show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;

and he saith to them, `Whose is this image and the inscription?'

they say to him, `Caesar's;' then saith he to them, `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.

In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;

And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;

and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,

And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding--

And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,

saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, `Of David.'

He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,

The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?

If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?'

And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.

Then Jesus spake to the multitudes, and to his disciples,

`And ye--ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your director--the Christ, and all ye are brethren;

and ye may not call any your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens,

nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director--the Christ.
