23 G2532 And G2064 in his coming G1473 G1519 into G3588 the G2413 temple, G4334 came forward G1473 to him G1321 while teaching, G3588 the G749 chief priests G2532 and G3588 the G4245 elders G3588 of the G2992 people, G3004 saying, G1722 By G4169 what G1849 authority G3778 do you do these things, G4160 G2532 and G5100 who G1473 gave to you G1325 G3588 G1849 this authority? G3778

24 G611 And answering G1161 G3588 G* Jesus G2036 said G1473 to them, G2065 I shall ask G1473 you G2504 also G3056 [²word G1520 ¹one], G3739 which G1437 if G2036 you should tell G1473 to me, G2504 I also G1473 will tell to you G2046 G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G3778 I do these things . G4160

25 G3588 The G908 immersion G* of John, G4159 from what place G1510.7.3 was it? G1537 From G3772 heaven G2228 or G1537 from G444 men? G3588 And they G1161 G1260 argued G3844 by G1438 themselves, G3004 saying, G1437 If G2036 we should say, G1537 From G3772 heaven; G2046 he will say G1473 to us, G1302 Why G3767 then G3756 did you not G4100 believe G1473 him?

26 G1437 And if G1161 G2036 we should say, G1537 From G444 men; G5399 we fear G3588 the G3793 multitude. G3956 For all G1063 G2192 hold G3588 G* John G5613 as G4396 a prophet.

27 G2532 And G611 answering G3588 to G* Jesus G2036 they said, G3756 We do not G1492 know. G5346 He said G1473 to them G2532 also G1473 himself, G3761 Nor G1473 I G3004 tell G1473 to you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G3778 I do these things . G4160

28 G5100 But what G1161 G1473 do you G1380 think? G444 A certain man G5100 G2192 had G5043 [²children G1417 ¹two]. G2532 And G4334 having come forward G3588 to the G4413 first, G2036 he said, G5043 Child, G5217 go! G4594 today G2038 work G1722 in G3588 G290 my vineyard! G1473

29 G3588 G1161 And G611 responding G2036 he said, G3756 I do not want to . G2309 G5305 But afterwards, G1161 G3338 having changed his mind G565 he went forth.

30 G2532 And G4334 having come forward G3588 to the G1208 second, G2036 he said G5615 likewise. G3588 And he G1161 G611 answering G2036 said, G1473 I will, G2962 O master. G2532 and G3756 he did not G565 go forth.

31 G5100 Which G1537 of G3588 the G1417 two G4160 did G3588 the G2307 will G3588 of the G3962 father? G3004 They say G1473 to him, G3588 The G4413 first. G3004 [²says G1473 ³to them G3588 G* ¹Jesus], G281 Amen G3004 I say G1473 to you, G3754 that, G3588 The G5057 tax collectors G2532 and G3588 the G4204 harlots G4254 go before G1473 you G1519 into G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 G2316 of God.

32 G2064 [³came G1063 ¹For G4314 ⁴to G1473 ⁵you G* ²John] G1722 in G3598 the way G1343 of righteousness, G2532 and G3756 you did not G4100 believe G1473 him, G3588 but the G1161 G5057 tax collectors G2532 and G3588 the G4204 harlots G4100 believed G1473 him. G1473 But you G1161 G1492 having seen G3756 did not G3338 repent G5305 afterwards G3588 G4100 to believe G1473 him.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ When he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the magistrates came to him as he was teaching, and said, by what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ and Jesus answered them, let me ask you one question, if ye answer me that, I shall likewise satisfy you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ the baptism of John, whence was it? was it a divine or a human Institution? and they reasoned thus with themselves, if we say, it was divine; he will say, then, why did ye not believe him? ²⁶ but if we say, it was merely human, we are obnoxious to the people; for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ so they made answer, we cannot tell. and Jesus said, neither shall I tell you, by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what do you think of this? a man had two sons, and coming to the first, he said, son, go, work to-day in my vineyard. ²⁹ I won't, said he: but afterward be chang'd his mind, and went. ³⁰ then he came to the other, and bid him do the same. and he answered, yes, sir; but went not. ³¹ which of the two obey'd his father? they said, the first. Jesus reply'd, I declare to you, that the publicans and licentious people enter into the gospel kingdom before you. ³² for John instructed you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the licentious believed him. and tho' you saw that, you did not yet repent, so as to believe him.

And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what think you? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in the vineyard. ²⁹ He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented and went into the vineyard. ³⁰ But he came to the other, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, Sir; and went not. ³¹ Whether of them two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and harlots go ito the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him. And ye when ye had seen [it], repented [not] afterward, that ye might believe him.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority dost thou these things?

From heaven, or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, from heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? ²⁶ But if we say, Of men: we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ And they answering said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither tell I you, by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what think you? A man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. ²⁹ He answering said, I will not; but afterward repenting, he went. ³⁰ And coming to the other, he said likewise. And he answered, I go Sir: but went not. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And when He was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ but Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I will likewise tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves saying, If we say, from heaven, He will reply, Why then did ye not believe him? ²⁶ But if we say, of men, we fear the people, for they all esteem John as a prophet. ²⁷ And therefore in answer to Jesus, they said, We do not know: and He said unto them, Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what think ye of this? There was a man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go, work to day in my vineyard: ²⁹ and he answered I will not; but afterwards repenting, he went. ³⁰ And coming to the second, he spake in like manner: and he answered, Yes, Sir; and went not. ³¹ Now which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto Him, The first. Jesus replied, Verily I say unto you, that publicans and prostitutes enter into the kingdom of God before you: ³² for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but publicans and harlots believed him; and though ye saw that, ye did not repent afterwards, to believe him.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him, as he was teaching, demanding, By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ Then Jesus answering, said to them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye answer me, then will I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John whence was it? from heaven, or from men?

Then said he also to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what think ye? A man had two sons; and coming to the first he said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard. ²⁹ But he answering said, I will not: yet repenting afterwards, he went. ³⁰ And coming to the other, he spake after the same manner, and he replying, said, I go, sir; yet went not. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?

Upon this they reasoned among themselves, saying, if we say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him: ²⁶ and if we say, Of men, we fear the people; for they all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ So in answer to Jesus, they said, We cannot tell.

And coming to the first, he said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. ³⁰ And he in reply said, I will not. But afterwards he repented and went. And coming to the second, he ordered him in like manner; and he in reply said, I will, sir; but did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, The publicans and the harlots lead the way for you to the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him. And though you saw this, you did not afterwards repent and believe him.

And G1260 [G5711] they reasoned G3844 with G1438 themselves G3004 [G5723] , saying G1437 , If G2036 [G5632] we shall say G1537 , From G3772 heaven G2046 [G5692] ; he will say G2254 to us G1302 , Why G3767 then G4100 0 did ye G3756 not G4100 [G5656] believe G846 him?}

He answered, Immediately, Sir, but went not. ³¹ Now, which of the two obeyed his father? They said, The first.

They say to him, `The first.' Jesus saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God, ³² for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last—to believe him.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And to him, having come into the temple to him teaching, came the chief priests and elders of the people, saying, By what authority doest thou these? and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus, having answered, said to them, I will also ask you one word, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these. ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it of heaven or of men And they reasoned by themselves, saying, If we say, Of heaven; he will say to us, Why, then, believed ye him not? ²⁶ But if we say, Of men; we fear the crowd; for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. And he said to them, Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these. ²⁸ But what seems to you A man had two children; and having come to the first, he said, Child, retire to-day, work in my vineyard. ²⁹ And he, having answered, said, I will not; but afterward, having felt regret, he departed. ³⁰ And having come to the second, he said likewise. And he, having answered, said, I, Lord: and he departed not. ³¹ Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of justice, and ye believed him not: and the publicans and harlots believed him; and ye, seeing, repented not afterwards, to believe him.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, *I* also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, *I* also will tell you by what authority I do these things: ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him? ²⁶ but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet. ²⁷ And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. *He* also said to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard. ²⁹ And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went. ³⁰ And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, *I* [go], sir, and went not. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men?

23 G2532 And G2064 when G846 he G2064 was come G1519 into G2411 the temple, G749 the chief priests G2532 and G4245 the elders G2992 of the people G4334 came G846 unto him G1321 as he was teaching, G3004 and said, G1722 By G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 doest thou G5023 these things? G2532 and G5101 who G1325 gave G4671 thee G3778 this G1849 authority?

24 G1161 And G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2036 and said G846 unto them, G2504 I also G2065 will ask G5209 you G1520 one G3056 question, G3739 which G1437 if G2036 ye tell G3427 me, G2504 I likewise G2046 will tell G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do G5023 these things.

25 G908 The baptism G2491 of John, G4159 whence G2258 was it? G1537 from G3772 heaven G2228 or G1537 from G444 men? G1161 And G1260 they reasoned G3844 with G1438 themselves, G3004 saying, G1437 If G2036 we shall say, G1537 From G3772 heaven; G2046 he will say G1223 unto us, G5101 Why G3767 then G4100 did ye G3756 not G4100 believe G846 him?

26 G1161 But G1437 if G2036 we shall say, G1537 From G444 men; G5399 we fear G3793 the multitude; G1063 for G3956 all G2192 hold G2491 John G5613 as G4396 a prophet.

27 G2532 And G611 they answered G2424 Jesus, G2036 and said, G1492 We G3756 know not. G846 He G5346 also said G846 unto them, G3761 Neither G3004 tell G1473 I G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do G5023 these things.

28 G1161 But G5101 what G1380 think G5213 ye? G444 A man G2192 had G1417 two G5043 sons; G2532 and G4334 he came G4413 to the first, G2036 and said, G5043 Son, G5217 go G2038 work G4594 to-day G1722 in G3450 the G290 vineyard.

29 G611 And he answered G2036 and said, G2309 I will G3756 not: G1161 but G5305 afterward G3338 he repented G565 himself, and went.

30 G2532 And G4334 he came G1208 to the second, G2036 and said G5615 likewise. G1161 And G611 he answered G2036 and said, G1473 I G2962 go, sir: G2532 and G565 went G3756 not.

31 G5101 Which G1537 of G1417 the two G4160 did G2307 the will G3962 of his father? G3004 They say, G4413 The first. G2424 Jesus G3004 saith G846 unto them, G281 Verily G3004 I say G5213 unto you, G3754 that G5057 the publicans G2532 and G4204 the harlots G4254 go G1519 into G932 the kingdom G4254 of God G4254 before G5209 you.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him? ²⁶ But if we shall say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what think ye? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard. ²⁹ And he answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented himself, and went. ³⁰ And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went not. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, but the publicans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And, when he, entered, the temple, the Chief–priests and the Elders of the people, came unto him as he was teaching, saying, By what authority, these things, art thou doing? and, who, to thee, gave, this authority? ²⁴ And, making answer, Jesus said unto them––I also, will ask, you, one thing,––which if ye tell me, I also, will tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing:–– ²⁵ The immersion by John, whence was it? Of heaven, or of men? But, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying––If we say, Of heaven; He will say unto us, Wherefore then did ye not believe him? ²⁶ But, if we say, Of men, we fear the multitude, for, all, as a prophet, are holding John. ²⁷ And, making answer to Jesus, they said––We know not. He also, said unto them––Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
²⁸ But how, to you, doth it seem? A man, had two sons: coming unto the first, he said, Son! go thy way, today, be working in the vineyard. ²⁹ And, he, answering, said, I, sir! and went not; ³⁰ And, coming unto the second, he spake, in like manner,––and, he, answering, said, I will not: afterwards, smitten with regret, he went. ³¹ Which of the two, did the will of the father? They say, The latter. Jesus saith unto them––Verily, I say unto you, the tax–collectors and the harlots, are going before you, into the kingdom of God; ³² For John came unto you, in a way of righteousness, and ye believed him not,––but, the tax–collectors and the harlots, believed him; and, ye, seeing it, were not even smitten with regret, afterwards, so as to believe him.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation came up to him as he was teaching, and said: " What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?" ²⁴ "I, too," said Jesus in reply, "will ask you one question; if you will give me an answer to it, then I, also, will tell you what authority I have to act as I do. ²⁵ It is about John's baptism. What was its origin? divine or human?" But they began arguing among themselves: "If we say 'divine,' he will say to us 'Why then did not you believe him?' ²⁶ But if we say 'human,' we are afraid of the people, for every one regards John as a Prophet." ²⁷ So the answer they gave Jesus was--"We do not know." "Then I," he said, "refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things. ²⁸ What do you think of this? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the elder and said 'Go and work in the vineyard to-day my son.' ²⁹ 'Yes, sir,' he answered; but he did not go. ³⁰ Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. 'I will not,' he answered; but afterwards he was sorry and went. ³¹ Which of the two sons did as his father wished?" " The second," they said. "I tell you," added Jesus, "that tax-gatherers and prostitutes are going into the Kingdom of God before you. ³² For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax-gatherers and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And the chief priests and elders of the people came to Him, while teaching, He having come into the temple, saying, By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus responding, said to them, I ask you also one word, which if you may speak to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things: ²⁵ Whence was the baptism of John? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, From heaven; He will say to us, Why then did you not believe on him? ²⁶ But if we may say, From men: we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ And responding they said to Jesus, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. ²⁸ What seems to you? A man had two sons; and going to the first, he said, Child, go to-day, work in my vineyard. ²⁹ And he responding said, I am not willing: but afterward, having regretted, he went. ³⁰ And coming to the second, he spoke likewise. And he responding said, I, lord: and went not. ³¹ Which one of the two did the will of the father? They say to Him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say unto you, that the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and harlots believed him, and you, seeing, did not afterward regret it, in order that you might believe him.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?" ²⁴ "And I also have a question to ask *you*," replied Jesus, "and if you answer me, I in turn will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ John's Baptism, whence was it? --had it a heavenly or a human origin?" So they debated the matter among themselves. "If we say 'a heavenly origin,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' ²⁶ and if we say 'a human origin' we have the people to fear, for they all hold John to have been a Prophet." ²⁷ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," He replied, "by what authority I do these things." ²⁸ "But give me your judgement. There was a man who had two sons. He came to the elder of them, and said, "'My son, go and work in the vineyard to-day.' ²⁹ "'I will not,' he replied. "But afterwards he was sorry, and went. ³⁰ He came to the second and spoke in the same manner. His answer was, "'I will go, Sir.' "But he did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did as his father desired?" "The first," they said. "I solemnly tell you,' replied Jesus, "that the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners are entering the Kingdom of God in front of you. ³² For John came to you observing all sorts of ritual, and you put no faith in him: the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners did put faith in him, and you, though you saw this example set you, were not even afterwards sorry so as to believe him.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And, when He came into the temple, the high-priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, saying, "By what authority art Thou doing these things? And who gave Thee this authority?" ²⁴ And Jesus, answering, said, "I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell Me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things: ²⁵ The immersion of John—whence was it? from Heaven or from men?" And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why, then, did ye not believe him?' ²⁶ But, if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet." ²⁷ And, answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things." ²⁸ "But what think ye? A man had two children; and to the first, he said, 'Child, go, work today in the vineyard.' ²⁹ And he, answering, said, 'I go, sir,' and he went not. ³⁰ And, coming to the second, he spake in like manner; and he, answering, said, 'I am not willing;' but later, repenting, he went. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?" They say, "The last." Jesus saith to them, "Verily I say to you that the tax-collectors and the harlots are going into the Kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the tax-collectors and the harlots believed him; but ye, having seen him, did not even repent afterward, that ye might believe him."

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ When he entered the temple, the high priests and elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, "What authority have you for acting in this way? Who gave you this authority?" ²⁴ Jesus replied, "Well, I will ask you a question, and if you answer me, then I will tell you what authority I have for acting as I do. ²⁵ Where did the baptism of John come from? From heaven or from men?" Now they argued to themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?' ²⁶ And if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet." ²⁷ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He said to them, "No more will I tell you what authority I have for acting as I do. ²⁸ Tell me what you think. A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard to-day'; ²⁹ he replied, 'I will go, sir,' but he did not go. ³⁰ The man went to the second and said the same to him; he replied, 'I will not,' but afterwards he changed his mind and did go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?" They said, "The last." Jesus said to them, "I tell you truly, the taxgatherers and harlots are going into the Realm of God before you. ³² For John showed you the way to be good and you would not believe him; the taxgatherers and harlots believed him, and even though you saw that, you would not change your mind afterwards and believe him.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ When he had entered the Temple, and was teaching, the high priests and the elders of the people came up to him, and said, "What authority have you for doing as you do, and who gave you this authority?" ²⁴ Jesus answered, "Let me ask you one question, and if you answer it, I will tell you what authority I have for doing as I do. ²⁵ Where did John's baptism come from? Was it from heaven, or from men?" And they argued with one another, "If we say, 'It was from heaven,' he will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?' ²⁶ But if we say, 'From men,' we have the people to fear, for they all consider John a prophet." ²⁷ And they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He said to them, "Nor will I tell you what authority I have for doing as I do. ²⁸ But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'My son, go and work in the vineyard today.' ²⁹ And he answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go. ³⁰ Then the man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. And he answered, 'I will not!' But afterward he changed his mind and went. ³¹ Which of the two did what his father wanted?" They said, "The second one." Jesus said to them, "I tell you, the tax-collectors and prostitutes are going into the Kingdom of God ahead of you. ³² For John came to you with a way of uprightness, and you would not believe him. The tax-collectors and prostitutes believed him, but even after seeing that, you would not change your minds and believe him!

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ When he had gone into the Temple courts, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing this, and who gave you this authority?" ²⁴ Jesus replied to them, "I too will ask you one question. If you answer me, then I also will tell you by what authority I am doing this. ²⁵ The baptism of John — where did it come from? From heaven or from men?" They debated among themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' ²⁶ and if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the people, for they all hold John for a prophet." ²⁷ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He in turn said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing this. ²⁸ What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go to-day and work in the vineyard.' ²⁹ He answered, 'I will, Sir,' but he did not go. ³⁰ The father went to the second son and said the same. He answered, 'I will not,' but afterwards he changed his mind and went. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The last." Jesus said to them, "I tell you truly the tax collectors and the bad women are going before you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the path of righteousness and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the bad women believed him. And you when you saw it did not change your minds afterwards and believe him.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ When he had entered the Temple courts, and was teaching, the high priests and elders of the people came to him and asked him, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?" ²⁴ Jesus answered. "I also will put a question to you, which, if you tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. ²⁵ John's baptism, whence was it, from heaven or from man?" So they began debating about it among themselves. ²⁶ "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet." ²⁷ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He said to them, "Nor am I going to tell you in what authority I do these deeds. ²⁸ "But give me your judgment. There was once a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said to him, "'Son, go work today in my vineyard!' ²⁹ "'I will go, sir,' he answered; yet he did not go. ³⁰ "Then he went to the second, and said the same thing to him. "'I will not,' he answered; but afterward he changed his mind and went. ³¹ "Which of these two did the will of his father?" "The last," they replied. "I tell you truly," said Jesus, "that the tax-gatherers and harlots are going into the kingdom of heaven before you! ³² "For John came to you in the road of righteousness, and you did not give credence to him; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots gave credence to him. But you, although you saw this, did not even then change your minds and give credence to him.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ When Jesus came to the temple, the high priests and the elders of the people came up to him, while he was teaching, and said to him, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority? ²⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you a word, and if you tell me, I will then tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ Whence is the baptism of John? Is it from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say from heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him? ²⁶ And if we should say, from men, we are afraid of the people, for all of them regard John as a prophet. ²⁷ So they answered and said to him, We do not know. Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ What do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first one and said to him, My son, go and work today in the vineyard. ²⁹ He answered and said, I do not want to, but later he regretted and went. ³⁰ And he came to the other one and said to him likewise. And he answered and said, Here am I, my Lord, and yet he did not go. ³¹ Which of these two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first one. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that even the publicans and the harlots will precede you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in a righteousness way, and you did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; but you, even though you saw, did not repent, so that later you may believe him.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And at His coming into the sanctuary, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gives you this authority? ²⁴ Now answering, Jesus said to them, "I also shall ask you one word, which, if you should be telling Me, I also shall be declaring to you by what authority I am doing these things." ²⁵ The baptism of John-whence was it? Of heaven or of men?Now they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should be saying, 'Of heaven,' He will be declaring to us, 'Wherefore, then, do you not believe him?'" ²⁶ Yet if we should be saying, 'Of men,' we are fearing the throng, for all are having John as a prophet." ²⁷ And, answering Jesus, they said, "We are not aware.He also averred to them, "Neither am I telling you by what authority I am doing these things." ²⁸ Now what are you supposing? A man had two children. And, coming to the first, he said, 'Child, go today, work in my vineyard.'" ²⁹ Yet he, answering, said, 'I do not want to.' Yet subsequently, regretting it, he went forth." ³⁰ Now, coming to the second, he said similarly. Now he, answering, said, "I go, lord! and he went not forth." ³¹ Which of the two does the will of the father?They are saying, "The first.Jesus is saying to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that the tribute collectors and the prostitutes are preceding you into the kingdom of God." ³² For John came to you on the road of righteousness, and you do not believe him. Yet the tribute collectors and the prostitutes believe him. Now you, perceiving it, did not even regret subsequently, so as to believe him."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And when He had come into the temple, the high priests and elders of the people came up to Him while He was teaching, and asked, "What sort of authority have you for doing these things, and who gave you this authority?" ²⁴ Jesus answered them, "Let me too ask you just one question, and if you answer it, I will tell you what sort of authority I have for doing as I do. ²⁵ Where did John's baptism come from? From heaven, or from men?" They argued it out among themselves in this way, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?' ²⁶ But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the people, for they all consider John a prophet." ²⁷ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He also answered them, "Nor am I going to tell you what sort of authority I have for doing as I do. ²⁸ "But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons, He came to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in my vineyard today.' ²⁹ And he answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go. ³⁰ Then he came to the second and said the same thing. And he answered, 'I will not.' But afterward he changed his mind and went. ³¹ Which of the two did what his father wanted?" They answered, "The second one." Jesus said to them, "I solemnly say to you, the tax-collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of heaven ahead of you. ³² For John came to you walking in the way of uprightness, and yet you did not believe him. The tax-collectors and prostitutes did believe him, but you, even though you saw that, would not change your minds afterward and believe him.

And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him? ²⁶ But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet. ²⁷ And they made answer and said, We have no idea. Then he said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden. ²⁹ And he said in answer, I will not: but later, changing his decision, he went. ³⁰ And he came to the second and said the same. And he made answer and said, I go, sir: and went not. ³¹ Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

23 G2532 And G2064 when G846 he G2064 had come G1519 into G2411 the temple, G749 the chief priests G2532 and G4245 the elders G2992 of the people G4334 came G846 to him G1321 as he was teaching, G3004 and said, G1722 By G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 do you G5023 these things? G2532 And G5101 who G1325 gave G4671 you G3778 this G1849 authority?

24 G1161 And G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2036 and said G846 to them, G2504 I also G2065 will ask G5209 you G1520 one G3056 thing, G3739 which G1437 if G2036 you tell G3427 me, G2504 I in like wise G2046 will tell G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do G5023 these things.

25 G908 The baptism G2491 of John, G4159 from where G2258 was it? G1537 From G3772 heaven, G2228 or G1537 of G444 men? G1161 And G1260 they reasoned G3844 with G1438 themselves, G3004 saying, G1437 If G2036 we shall say, G1537 From G3772 heaven; G2046 he will say G1223 to us, G5101 Why G4100 did you G3756 not G3767 then G4100 believe G846 him?

26 G1161 But G1437 if G2036 we shall say, G1537 Of G444 men; G5399 we fear G3793 the people; G1063 for G3956 all G2192 hold G2491 John G5613 as G4396 a prophet.

27 G2532 And G611 they answered G2424 Jesus, G2036 and said, G1492 We G3756 cannot G1492 tell. G2532 And G846 he G5346 said G846 to them, G3761 Neither G3004 tell G1473 I G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do G5023 these things.

28 G1161 But G5101 what G1380 think G5213 you? G444 A certain man G2192 had G1417 two G5043 sons; G2532 and G4334 he came G4413 to the first, G2036 and said, G5043 Son, G5217 go G2038 work G4594 to day G1722 in G3450 my G290 vineyard.

29 G611 He answered G2036 and said, G2309 I will G3756 not: G1161 but G5305 afterward G3338 he repented, G565 and went.

30 G2532 And G4334 he came G1208 to the second, G2036 and said G5615 likewise. G1161 And G611 he answered G2036 and said, G1473 I G2962 go, sir: G2532 and G565 went G3756 not.

31 G5101 Which G1537 of G1417 the two G4160 did G2307 the will G3962 of his father? G3004 They said G846 to him, G4413 The first. G2424 Jesus G3004 said G846 to them, G281 Truly G3004 I say G5213 to you, G3754 That G5057 the tax collectors G2532 and G4204 the harlots G4254 go G1519 into G932 the kingdom G2316 of God G4254 before G5209 you.

32 G1063 For G2491 John G2064 came G4314 to G5209 you G1722 in G3598 the way G1343 of righteousness, G2532 and G4100 you believed G846 him G3756 not: G1161 but G5057 the tax collectors G2532 and G4204 the harlots G4100 believed G846 him: G1161 and G5210 you, G1492 when you had seen G3338 it, repented G3756 not G5305 afterward, G3588 that G4100 you might believe G846 him.

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, 'By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority?' ²⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will ask you -- I also -- one word, which if you may tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things; ²⁵ the baptism of John, from where was it? -- From heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why, then, did you not believe him? ²⁶ And if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.' ²⁷ And answering Jesus they said, 'We have not known.' He said to them -- he also -- 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ 'And what think you? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.' ²⁹ And he answering said, 'I will not,' but at last, having repented, he went. ³⁰ 'And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I go, sir, and went not; ³¹ which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God, ³² for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and you, having seen, repented not at last -- to believe him.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ ¶ And when he was come into the temple, the princes of the priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a word, which if ye tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? from heaven or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? ²⁶ But if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ And they answered Jesus and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ ¶ But what do you think? A certain man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. ²⁹ He answered and said, I will not, but afterward he repented and went. ³⁰ And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I will go, Lord, and went not. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go ahead of you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, but the publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward that ye might believe him.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Now as He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?" ²⁴ But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things: ²⁵ The baptism of John--where was it from? From heaven or from men?" And they were arguing among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' ²⁶ "But if we should say, 'From men,' we fear the crowd, for all consider John as a prophet." ²⁷ So they answered Jesus and said, "We do not know." And He said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ "But what do you think? A man had two children. And having come to the first, he said, 'Child, go, work today in my vineyard.' ²⁹ "But he answered and said, 'I will not,' but later he regretted it and went. ³⁰ And having come to the other, he said likewise. And he answered and said, 'I am going, sir,' but he did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; but you, having seen, did not repent afterwards, that you might believe him.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ So He came into the temple, and as He was teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people approached Him saying, “By what kind of authority are you doing these things ?” and “Who gave you this authority?” ²⁴ But in answer Jesus said to them: “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things : ²⁵ The baptism of John—where was it from; from heaven or from men?” So they reasoned among themselves saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven’, He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ²⁶ But if we say, ‘From men’, we fear the crowd, for all consider John as a prophet.” ²⁷ So in answer to Jesus they said, “We do not know”. So He said to them: “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things . ²⁸ “But what do you think? A certain man had two sons, and going to the first he said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard’. ²⁹ But in answer he said, ‘I don’t want to’ (but later he changed his mind and went). ³⁰ And going to the other he said likewise. And in answer he said, ‘I go, Sir’; yet he did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say to Him, “The first”. Jesus says to them: “Assuredly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes will go into the kingdom of God before you do. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him, yet when you saw it you did not afterward repent, so as to believe him.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Later, after His coming into the Temple courts and grounds, the chief and ranking priests – as well as the elders (or: older men) of the people – came up to Him while [He was] in the process of teaching. They, one after another, proceeded saying, "In what kind of authority (or: In association with sort of customary law) are you continuing to do these things?" And then, "Who gave this authority (right; privilege) to you?" ²⁴ So Jesus, making a discerning response, says to them, "I, Myself, will proceed also asking you one question (thought; word), which, if you folks can (or: should; would) tell Me, then I also will continue in telling you in what kind of authority (or: in association with what sort of customary law) I am constantly doing these things: ²⁵ "The immersion (baptism; = ceremonial washing) which pertained to and was done by John – from what source or origin was it being; from out of heaven (or: from [the] Atmosphere), or from out of the midst of humans (mankind; people)?" Now they began reasoning and discussing among themselves, one after another saying, "If we should say, 'From out of heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why (Through what cause or situation) did you not trust or put faith in him?' ²⁶ "Yet if we should say, 'From out of humans,' we continue fearing about the crowd (= are afraid of how the crowd might react), for they all are in the habit of holding John as a prophet." ²⁷ And so, giving a determined reply to Jesus, they said, "We have not seen and so we do not know (or: We are not aware)." He also affirms to them, "Neither am I, Myself, laying it out or saying to you folks within what kind of authority (right; privilege; customary law) I continue to do these things. ²⁸ "But how is it normally seeming to you men (= What are you now thinking of this situation; What is your opinion)? A man had two children. Upon coming to the first one, he said, 'Child, be going (or: lead the way) under [my directive] today, and continue working in the vineyard. ²⁹ "Now he, giving a determined reply, said, 'I am neither wanting nor intending [to] (or: I will not)!' – yet afterward, changing his thoughts and interests (or: regretting his behavior), he went off. ³⁰ "So, upon going to the different one, he said similarly. Now, giving a considered reply, he said, 'I [go], sir,' – and yet, he did not go off. ³¹ "Which of the two did the will of the father?" They [as a group] are saying, "The first one." [other MSS read vs. 29-31 thus: "Now he, giving a considered reply, said,' I {go}, sir,' and yet he did not go off. So, upon approaching the second one, he said likewise. Yet he, giving a determined reply, said, 'I will not! 'Subsequently, he thought better of it {and} went forth. Which of {these} two fulfilled the desire of {his} father?" They are saying, "The latter one."] Jesus said, "That's right (You got it; Amen)! I am now saying and laying it out for you that the tax (or: tribute; toll) collectors (or: tax farmers; businessmen who bought the contract to collect taxes for the government) and the prostitutes are constantly preceding you men into God's reign (or: the kingdom of God; the sovereign activity of God)! ³² "You see, John came toward you men within the path (or: on the road) of fairness and equity, in accord with the way pointed out, and in the right relationship which pertains to justice – and you men did not trust him or put your faith in him (or: you did not believe him). However, the tax collectors and the prostitutes trusted him (put their faith in him; believed him), yet you men – upon seeing [this] – still did not change your thoughts or interests (or: regret your behavior and think better of it) [so as] to trust in him (put faith in and believe him).

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ When he went into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching. They asked: »By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?« ²⁴ Jesus answered: »I will ask you one question. If you give me the answer, I will say by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ »Where did the baptism of John come from? Was it from heaven or from men?« They talked among themselves. »If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not have faith in him?’ ²⁶ »But if we say, ‘From men,’ we must fear the people, because they all recognize John to be a prophet.« ²⁷ Therefore they answered: »We have no idea.« He replied to them: »Then I will not tell you by what authority I do these things.« ²⁸ »What do you think? A man had two sons. He asked the first to work today in the vineyard. ²⁹ »The first son said in answer, ‘I will not.’ Later he changed his mind and went to work. ³⁰ »He said the same to the second son. That son answered, ‘Yes, I will go,’ but he did not go to work. ³¹ »Which of the two pleased his father?« They replied: »The first.« Jesus said to them: »I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes will go into the kingdom of God before you.« ³² »John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him. Even the tax collectors and prostitutes believed him. When you saw this, you did not regret your sins and did not have faith in him.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Jesus’ Authority is Challenged
Then Jesus went into the Temple. While he was teaching, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him and asked, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”
²⁴ Jesus answered them, “I, too, will ask you one question. If you answer it for me, I will also tell you by what authority I am doing these things. ²⁵ Where did John’s authority to baptize come from? From heaven or from humans?”
They began discussing this among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ ²⁶ But if we say, ‘From humans,’ we are afraid of the crowd, because everyone regards John as a prophet.” ²⁷ So they told Jesus, “We don’t know.”
He in turn told them, “Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
²⁸ The Parable about Two Sons“But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ ²⁹ His son replied, ‘I don’t want to,’ but later he changed his mind and went. ³⁰ Then the father went to the other son and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I will, sir,’ but he didn’t go. ³¹ Which of the two did the father’s will?”
They answered, “The first one.”
Jesus told them, “I tell all of you with certainty, tax collectors and prostitutes will get into God’s kingdom ahead of you! ³² John came to you living a righteous life, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. But even when you saw that, you didn’t change your minds at last and believe him.”

And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. ²⁸ "Now what do you think? A man had two sons.

From heaven, or from men?” And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘from heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ²⁶ But if we should say, ‘from men,’ we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.” ²⁷ And answering Jesus, they said “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and having come to the first he said, ‘Son, go work in the vineyard today.’ ²⁹ And answering he said, ‘I will not.’ But afterward, having repented, he went. ³⁰ And having come to the second, he said likewise. And answering he said, ‘I will sir,’ and he did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and you having seen, did not even repent afterward to believe him.

27 G2532 Und G611 sie antworteten G2424 Jesu G2036 und sprachen: G1492 Wir wissen G3756 es nicht. G3532 Da G5346 sagte G846 auch er zu ihnen: G3004 So sage G3761 auch G1473 ich G5213 euch G3761 nicht, G1722 in G4169 welchem G1849 Recht G5023 ich diese Dinge G4160 tue.

29 G1161 Er aber G611 antwortete G2036 und sprach: G2309 Ich will G3756 nicht; G5305 danach G1161 aber G3338 gereute G565 es ihn, und er ging hin.

30 G2532 Und G4334 er trat G1208 hin zu dem zweiten G2036 und sprach G5615 desgleichen. G1161 Der aber G611 antwortete G2036 und sprach: G1473 Ich G2962 gehe, Herr, G2532 und G565 ging G3756 nicht.

31 G5101 Welcher G1537 von G1417 den beiden G4160 hat G2307 den Willen G3962 des Vaters G3004 getan? Sie sagen G846 [zu ihm] G4413 : Der erste. G2424 Jesus G3004 spricht G846 zu ihnen: G281 Wahrlich, G3004 ich sage G5213 euch, G3754 daß G5057 die Zöllner G2532 und G4204 die Huren G5209 euch G4254 vorangehen G1519 in G932 das Reich G2316 Gottes.

32 G1063 Denn G2491 Johannes G2064 kam G4314 zu G5209 euch G1722 im G3598 Wege G1343 der Gerechtigkeit, G2532 und G4100 ihr glaubtet G846 ihm G3756 nicht; G5057 die Zöllner G1161 aber G2532 und G4204 die Huren G4100 glaubten G846 ihm; G5210 euch G1161 aber, G1492 als ihr es sahet, G3338 gereute G5305 es danach G3756 nicht, G846 um ihm G4100 zu glauben.

Et quand il fut entré dans le temple, les principaux sacrificateurs et les anciens du peuple vinrent à lui, comme il enseignait, disant: Par quelle autorité fais-tu ces choses, et qui t'a donné cette autorité? ²⁴ Et Jésus, répondant, leur dit: Je vous demanderai, moi aussi, une chose; et si vous me la dites, je vous dirai, moi aussi, par quelle autorité je fais ces choses. ²⁵ Le baptême de Jean, d'où était-il? du ciel, ou des hommes?

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ И когато дойде в храма, като поучаваше, главните свещеници и народните старейшини дойдоха при Него и казаха: С каква власт правиш тези неща?

От небето или от хората? А те разискваха помежду си, като казваха: Ако кажем: От небето; Той ще ни каже: Тогава защо не му повярвахте? ²⁶ Но ако кажем: От хората; боим се от множеството, защото всички имат Йоан за пророк. ²⁷ И така, в отговор на Иисус казаха: Не знаем. И Той им каза: И Аз също не ви казвам с каква власт правя тези неща. ²⁸ Но какво мислите? Един човек, който имаше двама сина, отиде при първия и му каза: Синко, иди, работи днес на лозето. ²⁹ А той в отговор каза: Не искам! -- но после се разкая и отиде. ³⁰ Отиде и при втория и му каза същото. А той в отговор каза: Аз ще ида, господине! -- и не отиде. ³¹ Кой от двамата изпълни бащината си воля? Казаха Му: Първият. Иисус им рече: Истина ви казвам, че бирниците и блудниците ви изпреварват в Божието царство. ³² Защото Йоан дойде при вас в пътя на правдата и не му повярвахте, бирниците обаче и блудниците му повярваха. А вие, като видяхте това, даже не се разкаяхте след това да му повярвате.

A on odgovori: 'Evo me, gospodaru!' i ne ode. ³¹ Koji od te dvojice izvrši volju očevu?" Kažu: "Onaj prvi." Nato će im Isus: "Zaista, kažem vam, carinici i bludnice pretekoše vas u kraljevstvo Božje! ³² Doista, Ivan dođe k vama putom pravednosti i vi mu ne povjerovaste, a carinici mu i bludnice povjerovaše.

A kdo jest tobě tu moc dal? ²⁴ Odpovídaje pak Ježíš, řekl jim: Otížiť se i já vás na jednu věc, kterouž povíte-li mi, i já vám povím, jakou mocí tyto věci činím. ²⁵ Křest Janův odkud jest byl? S nebe-li, čili z lidí? A oni rozvažovali mezi sebou, řkouce: Díme-li: S nebe, díť nám: Proč jste pak nevěřili jemu? ²⁶ Pakli díme: Z lidí, bojíme se zástupu. Nebo všickni měli Jana za proroka. ²⁷ I odpovídajíce Ježíšovi, řekli: Nevíme. Řekl jim i on: Aniž já vám povím, jakou mocí tyto věci činím. ²⁸ Ale co se vám zdá? Člověk jeden měl dva syny. A přistoupiv k prvnímu, řekl: Synu, jdi na vinici mou dnes a dělej. ²⁹ A on odpověděv, řekl: Nechci. A potom usmysliv sobě, šel. ³⁰ I přistoupiv k druhému, řekl jemu též. A on odpověděv, řekl: Jdu, pane. A nešel. ³¹ Který z těch dvou učinil vůli otcovu? Řekli jemu: První. Dí jim Ježíš: Amen pravím vám, že publikáni a nevěstky předcházejí vás do království Božího. ³² Nebo přišel k vám Jan cestou spravedlnosti, a neuvěřili jste mu, ale publikáni a nevěstky uvěřili jemu. Vy pak viděvše to, aniž jste potom usmyslili sobě, abyste věřili jemu.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Og der han kom til Templet, traadte til ham, idet han lærte, de ypperstepræster og Folkets Ældste, og sagde: af hvad Magt gjør du dette? og hvo har givet dig denne magt. ²⁴ Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: jeg vil og spørge Eder om een Sag; dersom I sige mig det, vil jeg og sige Eder, af hvad Magt jeg gjør dette. ²⁵ Johannes' Daab, hveden var den? af Himmelen, eller af Menneskene? Men de betænkte ved sig selv og sagde: sige vi, den var af Himmelen, da vil han spørge os: hvi troede I ham da ikke? ²⁶ Men sige vi: den var af Menneskene, frygte vi os for Folket; thi de holdt alle Johannes for en Prophet. ²⁷ Og de svarede Jesus og sagde: vi vide det ikke. Da sagde han og til dem: saa siger jeg ikke heller, af hvad Magt jeg gjør dette. ²⁸ Men hvad tykkes Eder? Et menneske havde to Sønner; og han gik til den første og sagde: Søn gak hen, arbeid i Dag udi min Viingaard. ²⁹ Men han svarede og sagde: jeg vil ikke; men derefter angrede det ham, og han gik hen. ³⁰ Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligesaa. Men han svarede og sagde: Herre, jeg vil; og gik ikke hen. ³¹ Hvilken af de to gjorde Faderens Villie? De sagde til ham: den Første. Jesus sagde til dem: sandelig siger jeg Eder, at Toldere og Skjøger gaae for Eder i Guds Rige. ³² Thi Johannes kom til Eder paa Retfærdigheds Vei, og I troede ham ikke, men Toldere og Skøger troede ham; men enddog I det saae, angrede det Eder alligevel ikke derefter, saa I troede ham.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ 耶穌進了殿，正教訓人的時候，祭司長和民間的長老來問他說：你仗著甚麼權柄做這些事？給你這權柄的是誰呢？ ²⁴ 耶穌回答說：我也要問你們一句話，你們若告訴我，我就告訴你們我仗著甚麼權柄做這些事。 ²⁵ 約翰的洗禮是從那裡來的？是從天上來的？是從人間來的呢？他們彼此商議說：我們若說從天上來，他必對我們說：這樣，你們為甚麼不信他呢？ ²⁶ 若說從人間來，我們又怕百姓，因為他們都以約翰為先知。 ²⁷ 於是回答耶穌說：我們不知道。耶穌說：我也不告訴你們我仗著甚麼權柄做這些事。 ²⁸ 又說：一個人有兩個兒子。他來對大兒子說：我兒，你今天到葡萄園裡去做工。 ²⁹ 他回答說：我不去，以後自己懊悔，就去了。 ³⁰ 又來對小兒子也是這樣說。他回答說：父阿，我去，他卻不去。 ³¹ 你們想，這兩個兒子是那一個遵行父命呢？他們說：大兒子。耶穌說：我實在告訴你們，稅吏和娼妓倒比你們先進神的國。 ³² 因為約翰遵著義路到你們這裡來，你們卻不信他；稅吏和娼妓倒信他。你們看見了，後來還是不懊悔去信他。

23 G846 耶穌 G2064 進了 G2411 殿 G1321 ，正教訓人 G749 的時候，祭司長 G2532 和 G2992 民間 G4245 的長老 G4334 來 G846 問他 G3004 說 G1722 ：你仗著 G4169 甚麼 G1849 權柄 G4160 做 G1325 這些事？給 G4671 你 G5026 這 G1849 權柄 G5101 的是誰呢？

24 G2424 耶穌 G611 回答 G2036 說 G2504 ：我也要 G2065 問 G5209 你們 G1520 一句 G3056 話 G1437 ，你們若 G2036 告訴 G3427 我 G2504 ，我就 G2046 告訴 G5213 你們 G1722 我仗著 G4169 甚麼 G1849 權柄 G4160 做 G5023 這些事。

25 G2491 約翰 G908 的洗禮 G2258 是 G4159 從那裡 G1537 來的？是從 G3772 天上 G1537 來的？是從 G444 人間 G3844 G1438 來的呢？他們彼此 G1260 商議 G3004 說 G1437 ：我們若 G2036 說 G1537 從 G3772 天上 G2254 來，他必對我們 G2046 說 G3767 ：這樣 G1302 ，你們為甚麼 G3756 不 G4100 信 G846 他呢？

26 G1437 若 G2036 說 G1537 從 G444 人間 G5399 來，我們又怕 G3793 百姓 G1063 ，因為 G3956 他們都 G2192 以 G2491 約翰 G5613 為 G4396 先知。

27 G2532 於是 G611 回答 G2424 耶穌 G2036 說 G3756 ：我們不 G1492 知道 G846 。耶穌 G5346 說 G1473 ：我 G3761 也不 G3004 告訴 G5213 你們 G1722 我仗著 G4169 甚麼 G1849 權柄 G4160 做 G5023 這些事。

28 G444 又說：一個人 G2192 有 G1417 兩個 G5043 兒子 G4334 。他來 G4413 對大兒子 G2036 說 G5043 ：我兒 G4594 ，你今天 G5217 到 G290 葡萄園 G1722 裡 G2038 去做工。

29 G611 他回答 G2036 說 G3756 ：我不 G5305 去，以後 G3338 自己懊悔 G565 ，就去了。

30 G2532 又 G4334 來 G1208 對小兒子 G5615 也是這樣 G2036 說 G611 。他回答 G2036 說 G1473 ：父阿，我 G2532 去，他卻 G3756 不 G565 去。

31 G5213 你們 G1380 想 G1417 ，這兩個 G5101 兒子是那一個 G4160 遵行 G3962 父 G2307 命 G3004 呢？他們說 G4413 ：大兒子 G2424 。耶穌 G3004 說 G281 ：我實在 G3004 告訴 G5213 你們 G5057 ，稅吏 G2532 和 G4204 娼妓 G5209 倒比你們 G4254 先 G1519 進 G2316 神 G932 的國。

32 G1063 因為 G2491 約翰 G1722 遵著 G1343 義 G3598 路 G4314 到 G5209 你們 G2064 這裡來 G2532 ，你們卻 G3756 不 G4100 信 G846 他 G5057 ；稅吏 G2532 和 G4204 娼妓 G4100 倒信 G846 他 G5210 。你們 G1492 看見了 G5305 ，後來 G3756 還是不 G3338 懊悔 G4100 去信 G846 他。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ 耶稣进了殿，正教训人的时候，祭司长和民间的长老来问他说：你仗着甚么权柄做这些事？给你这权柄的是谁呢？ ²⁴ 耶稣回答说：我也要问你们一句话，你们若告诉我，我就告诉你们我仗着甚么权柄做这些事。 ²⁵ 约翰的洗礼是从那里来的？是从天上来的？是从人间来的呢？他们彼此商议说：我们若说从天上来，他必对我们说：这样，你们为甚么不信他呢？ ²⁶ 若说从人间来，我们又怕百姓，因为他们都以约翰为先知。 ²⁷ 于是回答耶稣说：我们不知道。耶稣说：我也不告诉你们我仗着甚么权柄做这些事。 ²⁸ 又说：一个人冇两个儿子。他来对大儿子说：我儿，你今天到葡萄园里去做工。 ²⁹ 他回答说：我不去，以后自己懊悔，就去了。 ³⁰ 又来对小儿子也是这样说。他回答说：父阿，我去，他却不去。 ³¹ 你们想，这两个儿子是那一个遵行父命呢？他们说：大儿子。耶稣说：我实在告诉你们，税吏和娼妓倒比你们先进神的国。 ³² 因为约翰遵着义路到你们这里来，你们却不信他；税吏和娼妓倒信他。你们看见了，后来还是不懊悔去信他。

Monda nékik õ is: Én sem mondom meg néktek, micsoda hatalommal cselekszem ezeket. ²⁸ De mit gondoltok ti? Vala egy embernek két fia, és odamenvén az elsõhöz, monda: Eredj fiam, munkálkodjál ma az én szõlõmben. ²⁹ Az pedig felelvén, monda: Nem megyek; de azután meggondolván magát, elméne. ³⁰ A másikhoz is odamenvén, hasonlóképen szóla. Az pedig felelvén, monda: Én elmegyek, uram; de nem méne el. ³¹ E kettõ közül melyik teljesítette az atya akaratát? Mondának néki: Az elsõ. Monda nékik Jézus: Bizony mondom néktek: A vámszedõk és a parázna nõk megelõznek titeket az Isten országában. ³² Mert eljött hozzátok János, az igazság útján, és nem hittetek néki, a vámszedõk és a parázna nõk pedig hittek néki; ti pedig, a kik ezt láttátok, azután sem tértetek meg, hogy hittetek volna néki.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Kemudian Yesus kembali ke Rumah Tuhan, lalu masuk dan mengajar di situ. Waktu Ia sedang mengajar, imam-imam kepala dan pemimpin-pemimpin Yahudi datang kepada-Nya dan bertanya, "Atas dasar apa Engkau melakukan semuanya itu? Siapa yang memberi hak itu kepada-Mu?" ²⁴ Yesus menjawab, "Aku juga mau bertanya kepada kalian. Dan kalau kalian menjawabnya, Aku akan mengatakan kepadamu dengan hak siapa Aku melakukan hal-hal ini. ²⁵ Yohanes membaptis dengan hak siapa? Allah atau manusia?" Lalu imam-imam kepala dan pemimpin-pemimpin Yahudi itu mulai berunding di antara mereka, "Kalau kita katakan, 'Dengan hak Allah,' Ia akan berkata, 'Kalau begitu mengapa kalian tidak percaya kepadanya?' ²⁶ Tetapi kalau kita katakan, 'Dengan hak manusia,' kita takut kepada orang banyak, sebab mereka semua menganggap Yohanes seorang nabi." ²⁷ Jadi mereka menjawab, "Kami tidak tahu." Lalu Yesus berkata kepada mereka, "Kalau begitu Aku pun tidak akan mengatakan kepadamu dengan hak siapa Aku melakukan semuanya ini." ²⁸ "Sekarang bagaimana pendapatmu tentang hal ini?" kata Yesus selanjutnya. "Adalah seorang ayah yang mempunyai dua anak laki-laki, ia datang kepada anaknya yang pertama dan berkata, 'Nak, pergilah bekerja di kebun anggur hari ini.' ²⁹ Anak itu menjawab, 'Baik, Ayah!' Tetapi ia tidak pergi. ³⁰ Lalu ayah itu datang kepada anaknya yang kedua dan mengatakan hal yang sama. Anak itu menjawab, 'Saya tidak mau,' tetapi kemudian berubah pikiran lalu pergi juga. ³¹ Dari antara kedua anak itu, yang manakah yang melakukan kehendak ayahnya?" "Yang kedua," jawab imam-imam kepala dan pemimpin-pemimpin Yahudi itu. ³² Karena Yohanes Pembaptis datang, dan menunjukkan kepada kalian cara hidup yang dikehendaki Tuhan, namun kalian tidak mau percaya pada ajarannya; tetapi penagih-penagih pajak dan wanita-wanita pelacur percaya kepadanya. Tetapi meskipun kalian sudah melihat semuanya itu, kalian tidak juga mengubah pikiranmu dan tidak percaya kepada Tuhan."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ POI, quando egli fu venuto nel tempio, i principali sacerdoti, e gli anziani del popolo, si accostarono a lui mentre egli insegnava, dicendo: Di quale autorità fai tu queste cose? e chi ti ha data cotesta autorità? ²⁴ E Gesù, rispondendo, disse loro: Ancora io vi domanderò una cosa, la qual se voi mi dite io altresì vi dirò di quale autorità fo queste cose. ²⁵ Il battesimo di Giovanni onde era egli? dal cielo o dagli uomini? Ed essi ragionavan tra loro, dicendo: Se diciamo che era dal cielo, egli ci dirà: Perchè dunque non gli credeste? ²⁶ Se altresì diciamo che era dagli uomini noi temiamo la moltitudine perciocchè tutti tengono Giovanni per profeta. ²⁷ E risposero a Gesù, e dissero: Noi non sappiamo. Egli altresì disse loro: Ed io ancora non vi dirò di quale autorità io fo queste cose. ²⁸ ORA, che vi par egli? Un uomo avea due figliuoli; e, venuto al primo, disse: Figliuolo, va’, lavora oggi nella mia vigna. ²⁹ Ma egli, rispondendo, disse: Non voglio, pur nondimeno, poi appresso, ravvedutosi, vi andò. ³⁰ Poi, venuto al secondo, gli disse il simigliante. Ed egli, rispondendo, disse: Sì, lo farò, signore, e pur non vi andò. ³¹ Qual de’ due fece il voler del padre? Essi gli dissero: Il primo. Gesù disse loro: Io vi dico in verità, che i pubblicani, e le meretrici vanno innanzi a voi nel regno de’ cieli. ³² Perciocchè Giovanni è venuto a voi per la via della giustizia, e voi non gli avete creduto; ma i pubblicani e le meretrici gli hanno creduto; e pur voi, veduto ciò, non vi siete poi appresso ravveduti, per credergli.

E chi t’ha data codesta autorità? ²⁴ E Gesù, rispondendo, disse loro: Anch’io vi domanderò una cosa: e se voi mi rispondete, anch’io vi dirò con quale autorità faccio queste cose. ²⁵ Il battesimo di Giovanni, d’onde veniva? dal cielo o dagli uomini? Ed essi ragionavan fra loro, dicendo: Se diciamo: Dal cielo, egli ci dirà: Perché dunque non gli credeste? ²⁶ E se diciamo: Dagli uomini, temiamo la moltitudine, perché tutti tengono Giovanni per profeta. ²⁷ Risposero dunque a Gesù, dicendo: Non lo sappiamo. E anch’egli disse loro: E neppur io vi dirò con quale autorità io fo queste cose. ²⁸ Or che vi par egli? Un uomo avea due figliuoli. Accostatosi al primo disse: Figliuolo, va’ oggi a lavorare nella vigna. ²⁹ Ed egli, rispondendo, disse: Vado, signore; ma non vi andò. ³⁰ E accostatosi al secondo, gli disse lo stesso. Ma egli, rispondendo, disse: Non voglio; ma poi, pentitosi, v’andò. ³¹ Qual de’ due fece la volontà del padre? Essi gli dissero: L’ultimo. E Gesù a loro: Io vi dico in verità: I pubblicani e le meretrici vanno innanzi a voi nel regno di Dio. ³² Poiché Giovanni è venuto a voi per la via della giustizia, e voi non gli avete creduto; ma i pubblicani e le meretrici gli hanno creduto; e voi, che avete veduto questo, neppur poi vi siete pentiti per credere a lui.

Bet viņi apspriedās savā starpā un sacīja: ²⁶ Ja mēs teiksim: no debesīm, Viņš sacīs: kāpēc tad jūs viņam neticējāt? Bet ja mēs sacīsim: no cilvēkiem, tad mums jābīstas no ļaudīm, jo visi viņu tur par pravieti. ²⁷ Un viņi atbildēja Jēzum un sacīja: Mēs nezinām.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Kai Jėzus atėjo į šventyklą ir pradėjo mokyti, priėjo prie Jo aukštųjų kunigų ir tautos vyresniųjų, kurie klausė: “Kokią teisę turi taip daryti? Ir kas Tau davė šitą valdžią?” ²⁴ Jėzus atsakė: “Aš irgi paklausiu jus vieno dalyko. Jei man atsakysite, ir Aš pasakysiu, kokia valdžia tai darau. ²⁵ Iš kur buvo Jono krikštas? Iš dangaus ar iš žmonių?” Jie samprotavo tarpusavy: “Jei pasakysimeiš dangaus, Jis mums sakys: ‘Tai kodėl juo netikėjote?’ ²⁶ O pasakytiiš žmonių, baisu prieš minią, nes visi laiko Joną pranašu”. ²⁷ Todėl jie atsakė Jėzui: “Mes nežinome”. Tada Jis tarė: “Tai ir Aš jums nesakysiu, kokia valdžia tai darau”. ²⁸ “Kaip jūs manote? Vienas žmogus turėjo du sūnus. Kartą, priėjęs prie pirmojo, tarė: ‘Sūnau, eik ir padirbėk šiandien mano vynuogyne’. ²⁹ Šis atsakė: ‘Nenoriu’, bet vėliau apsigalvojo ir nuėjo. ³⁰ Paskui tėvas kreipėsi į antrąjį sūnų tais pačiais žodžais. Šis jam atsakė: ‘Einu, viešpatie’, bet nenuėjo. ³¹ Kuris iš jų įvykdė tėvo valią?” Jie atsakė: “Pirmasis”. Tada Jėzus jiems tarė: “Iš tiesų sakau jums: muitininkai ir paleistuvės pirma jūsų eina į Dievo karalystę. ³² Nes Jonas atėjo pas jus teisumo keliu, bet jūs netikėjote juo. O muitininkai ir paleistuvės juo tikėjo. Bet jūs, tai matydami, nė vėliau neatgailavote ir netikėjote juo”.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ A gdy on przyszedł do kościoła, przystąpili do niego, gdy uczył, przedniejsi kapłani i starsi ludu, mówiąc: Którąż mocą to czynisz? a kto ci dał tę moc? ²⁴ A odpowiadając Jezus, rzekł im: Spytam i ja was o jednę rzecz, którą jeźli mi powiecie, i ja wam powiem, którą mocą to czynię. ²⁵ Chrzest Jana skąd był? z nieba czyli z ludzi? A oni myśleli sami w sobie, mówiąc: Jeźli powiemy z nieba, rzecze nam: Czemużeście mu tedy nie uwierzyli? ²⁶ Jeźli zaś powiemy z ludzi, boimy się ludu; bo Jana wszyscy mają za proroka. ²⁷ A odpowiadając Jezusowi rzekli: Nie wiemy. Rzekł im i on: I ja wam nie powiem, którą mocą to czynię. ²⁸ Ale cóż się wam zda? Człowiek niektóry miał dwóch synów; a przystąpiwszy do pierwszego, rzekł: Synu! idź, rób dziś na winnicy mojej. ²⁹ Ale on odpowiadając rzekł: Nie chcę, a potem obaczywszy się, poszedł. ³⁰ A przystąpiwszy do drugiego, rzekł także; a on odpowiadając rzekł: Ja idę, panie! ale nie szedł. ³¹ Któryż z tych dwóch uczynił wolę ojcowską? Rzekli mu: On pierwszy. Rzekł im Jezus: Zaprawdę powiadam wam, że was celnicy i wszetecznice uprzedzają do królestwa Bożego. ³² Albowiem przyszedł do was Jan drogą sprawiedliwości, a nie uwierzyliście mu, ale celnicy i wszetecznice uwierzyli mu: a wy widząc to, przecież się nie obaczyliście, abyście mu uwierzyli.

Ao que eles arrazoavam entre si: Se dissermos: Do céu, ele nos dirá: Então por que não o crestes? ²⁶ Mas, se dissermos: Dos homens, tememos o povo; porque todos consideram João como profeta. ²⁷ Responderam, pois, a Jesus: Não sabemos. Disse-lhe ele: Nem eu vos digo com que autoridade faço estas coisas. ²⁸ Mas que vos parece? Um homem tinha dois filhos, e, chegando-se ao primeiro, disse: Filho, vai trabalhar hoje na vinha. ²⁹ Ele respondeu: Sim, senhor; mas não foi. ³⁰ Chegando-se, então, ao segundo, falou-lhe de igual modo; respondeu-lhe este: Não quero; mas depois, arrependendo-se, foi. ³¹ Qual dos dois fez a vontade do pai? Disseram eles: O segundo. Disse-lhes Jesus: Em verdade vos digo que os publicanos e as meretrizes entram adiante de vós no reino de Deus. ³² Pois João veio a vós no caminho da justiça, e não lhe deste crédito, mas os publicanos e as meretrizes lho deram; vós, porém, vendo isto, nem depois vos arrependestes para crerdes nele.
