⁹And he began to say to the people this parable, Esa. 5, 1.
Mt. 21, 33. Mr. 12, 1.* A certaine ^[1] man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was from home a long time. ¹⁰And in time he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who beating him sent him away emptie. ¹¹And againe he sent another servant. But they beating him also and reprochfully abusing him, sent him away emptie. ¹²And againe he sent the third: who wounding him also, cast him out. ¹³And the lord of the vineyard said: What shal I doe? I wil send my beloved sonne: perhaps when they shal see him, they wil reverence him. ¹⁴Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heire, let us kil him, that the heritage may be ours. ¹⁵And casting him forth out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therfore wil the Lord of the vineyard doe to them? ¹⁶He wil come, and wil destroy these husbandmen, and wil give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid. ¹⁷But he beholding them said: What is this then that is written, Ps. 11, 22.The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become into the head of the corner? ¹⁸Every one that falleth upon this stone, shal be quashed: and upon whom it shal fal, it shal breake him to pouder. ¹⁹And the cheefe Priests and Scribes sought to lay hands upon him that houre: and they feared the people, for they knew that he spake this similitude to them.

Mt. 22, 15. Mr. 12, 13.* ²⁰And watching, they sent spies which should feine themselves just: that they might take him in his talke, and deliver him to the principalitie and power of the President. ²¹And they asked him, saying: Maister, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly; and thou doest not accept person, but teachest the way of God in truth. ²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no? ²³But considering their guile, he said to them: Why tempt you me? ²⁴Shew me a penie. Whose image hath it and inscription? They answering said: Caesars. ²⁵And he said to them: Render therfore the things that are Caesars, ^[2] to Caesar: and the things that are Gods, to God. ²⁶And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and marveling at his answer, they held their peace. ²⁷ Mt. 22, 23. Mr. 12, 18.* And there came certaine of the Sadducees, which denie that there is a resurrection, and they asked him, ²⁸saying: Maister, Moyses gave us in writing: Deu. 25, 5.* If a mans brother die having a wife, and he have no children, that his brother take her to wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁹There were therfore seven brethren: and the first tooke a wife, and died without children. ³⁰And the next tooke her, and he died without child. ³¹And the third tooke her. In like manner also al the seven, and they left no seed, and died. ³²Last of al the woman
