geneva@Luke:20:2 @ And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?

geneva@Luke:20:3 @ And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:

geneva@Luke:20:4 @ The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?

geneva@Luke:20:5 @ And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?

geneva@Luke:20:6 @ But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.

geneva@Luke:20:7 @ Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

geneva@Luke:20:8 @ Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.

geneva@Luke:20:12 @ Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.

geneva@Luke:20:13 @ Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.

geneva@Luke:20:14 @ But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

geneva@Luke:20:15 @ So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?

geneva@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.

geneva@Luke:20:17 @ And he beheld them, & said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?

geneva@Luke:20:18 @ Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.

geneva@Luke:20:19 @ Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.

geneva@Luke:20:20 @

geneva@Luke:20:21 @ And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the (note:)You are not moved by favour of any man: and by «person» he means outward circumstances, for if a man judges according to these, there will be those who are truly alike whom he will judge to be different.(:note) person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly:

geneva@Luke:20:24 @ Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.

geneva@Luke:20:25 @ Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.

geneva@Luke:20:26 @ And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.

geneva@Luke:20:27 @

geneva@Luke:20:28 @ Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.

geneva@Luke:20:30 @ And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.

geneva@Luke:20:31 @ Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.

geneva@Luke:20:32 @ And last of all the woman dyed also.

geneva@Luke:20:33 @ Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? For seuen had her to wife.

geneva@Luke:20:34 @ And Jesus answering said unto them, The (note:)«The children of this world» refers here to those who live in this world, and not those that are wholly given to the world (and therefore contrary to the children of light), as above in (Luk_16:8).(:note) children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

geneva@Luke:20:36 @ Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the (note:)That is, men who partake in the resurrection: for as we truly say that they will indeed live who will enjoy everlasting bliss, so do those indeed rise who rise to life; though if this word «resurrection» is taken generally, it refers also to the wicked, who will rise to condemnation, which is not properly life, but death.(:note) children of the resurrection.

geneva@Luke:20:37 @ And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.

geneva@Luke:20:38 @ For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all (note:)That is, before him: a saying to take note of, for the godly do not die, though they die here on earth.(:note) live unto him.

geneva@Luke:20:39 @ Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.

geneva@Luke:20:40 @ And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.

geneva@Luke:20:44 @ Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?

geneva@Luke:20:45 @ Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,

geneva@Luke:20:47 @ Which devour widows' (note:)By the figure of speech metonymy, «houses» is understood to mean the goods and substance.(:note) houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

geneva@Luke:21:1 @ And (note:)According to the judgment of God, the poor may even exceed the rich in generosity and liberality.(:note) he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

geneva@Luke:21:2 @ And he sawe also a certaine poore widowe which cast in thither two mites:

geneva@Luke:21:3 @ And he sayd, Of a trueth I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast in more then they all.

geneva@Luke:21:6 @ Are these ye things that ye looke vpon? the dayes will come wherein a stone shall not be left vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe.

geneva@Luke:21:7 @ Then they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what signe shall there be when these things shall come to passe?

geneva@Luke:21:8 @ And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come (note:)Using my name.(:note) in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

geneva@Luke:21:9 @

geneva@Luke:21:10 @ Then said hee vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome,

geneva@Luke:21:11 @ And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull things, & great signes shall there be from heauen.

geneva@Luke:21:12 @ But before all these, they shal lay their hands on you, and persecute you, deliuering you vp to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Names sake.

geneva@Luke:21:13 @ And it shall turn to you for (note:)This will be the result of your troubles and afflictions: they will be witnesses both before God and man of the treacherous and cruel dealing of your enemies, as well as of your steadfastness: A noble saying, that the afflictions of the godly and holy men pertain to the witness of the truth.(:note) a testimony.

geneva@Luke:21:14 @ Lay it vp therefore in your heartes, that ye cast not before hand, what ye shall answere.

geneva@Luke:21:15 @ For I will giue you a mouth and wisdome, where against all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake, nor resist.

geneva@Luke:21:16 @ Yea, ye shalbe betrayed also of your parents, and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friendes, and some of you shall they put to death.

geneva@Luke:21:17 @ And ye shall bee hated of all men for my Names sake.

geneva@Luke:21:18 @ Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish.

geneva@Luke:21:19 @ In your patience (note:)Though you are surrounded on all sides with many miseries, yet nonetheless be valiant and courageous, and bear out these things bravely.(:note) possess ye your souls.
