ARCHPRIESTS AND PRESBYTERS OF THE PEOPLE QUESTION THE AUTHORITY OF YAH SHUA
And he comes to the priestal precinct: and the archpriests and the elders of the people come to him as he doctrinates, and they word, In what authority do you these? and, Who gives you this authority? 24 And Yah Shua answers them, saying, I also ask you one word, which, whenever you tell me, I also say to you in what authority I do these. 25 The baptism of Yahn, whence is it - Of the heavens? Or of humanity? And they reason with themselves, speaking, Whenever we say, Of the heavens; he says to us, So why trust you not him? 26 But whenever we say, Of humanity; we awe the multitudes; for all regard Yahn as a prophet. 27 - and they answer Yah Shua, saying, We know not. And he says to them, And I word not in what authority I do these. 28
THE PARABLE OF THE TWO CHILDREN
But what think you? A human has two children: and he comes to the first and says, Child, go work today in my vineyard. 29 He answers, saying, I will not - but afterward he regrets, and goes. 30 And he comes to the second, and says likewise. And he answers, saying, I go, adoni: and goes not. 31 Which of the two does the will of his father? They word to him, The first. Yah Shua speaks to them, Amen! I word to you, That the customs agents and the whores precede you into the sovereigndom of Elohim. 32 For Yahn came to you in the way of justness, and you trusted him not: but the customs agents and the whores trusted him: and you, when you saw, regretted not afterward to trust him. 33
THE PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD
Hear another parable: A human housedespotes, plants a vineyard and hedges it all around and digs a trough in it and builds a tower and leases it to cultivators and goes abroad: 34 and the season of the fruit approaches and he apostolizes his servants to the cultivators to take of the fruits: 35 and the cultivators take his servants; and indeed flog one and slaughter another and stone another. 36 Again, he apostolizes other servants much more than the first: and they do to them likewise. 37 And afterward he apostolizes his son to them, wording, They respect my son. 38 But the cultivators see the son, and they say among themselves, This is the heir! Come! Slaughter him! Seize his inheritance! 39 And they take him and eject him from the vineyard and slaughter him. 40 So when the adoni of the vineyard comes, what does he to those cultivators? 41 They word to him, He evilly destroys those evil men, and leases his vineyard to other cultivators who give him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Yah Shua words to them, Read you never ever in the scriptures, The stone the builders disapprove, the same becomes the head of the corner: this becomes of Yah Vah and it is marvellous in our eyes? Psalm 118:22, 23 43 So I word to you, The sovereigndom of Elohim is taken from you and given to a goyim producing the fruits thereof. 44 And whoever falls on this stone crushes: but on whomever it falls, pulverizes. Isaiah 8:14
