1 Jesus taught and told good news in God’s house. The priests, law teachers, and older men came to Him. ⛪ 2 They asked Jesus, Who said You can do this? Who gave You the right to teach? ❓ 3 Jesus said, <jesus>I will ask you one thing. Tell Me.</jesus> ️ 4 Jesus said, <jesus>Was John’s washing from heaven or from people?</jesus> ️⬆️ 5 The leaders talked. They said, If we say “from heaven,” He will ask, “Why did you not believe?” ️ 6 They said, If we say “from people,” the crowd may hit us with rocks, for they think John was from God. 7 So they said to Jesus, We do not know. ♂️ 8 Jesus said, <jesus>Then I will not tell you who gave Me the right.</jesus> 9 Jesus told a story: A man made a grape farm. He let farm men use it and went far away. 10 At pick time, he sent a helper. The farm men hit him and sent him back with no fruit. 11 He sent a second helper. They hit him too and were very mean. 12 He sent a third helper. They hurt him and threw him out. 13 The owner said, <jesus>What can I do? I will send my dear Son. They will show Him respect.</jesus> ❤️ 14 The farm men saw the Son. They said, This is the one who will get the farm. Let us kill Him, and it will be ours. ️ 15 They threw the Son out of the farm and killed Him. Jesus asked, <jesus>What will the owner do?</jesus> ⚰️ 16 Jesus said, <jesus>He will come and stop those bad men. He will give the farm to other people.</jesus> The people said, No! Do not do that! 17 Jesus looked at them and said, <jesus>The stone people threw away is now the main stone.</jesus> ️ 18 Jesus said, <jesus>If you fall on this stone, you get hurt. If the stone falls on you, it crushes you.</jesus> ⚠️ 19 The priests and law teachers knew the story was about them. They wanted to grab Jesus, but they were afraid of the people. ✋ 20 They watched Jesus. They sent spies to trick Him and catch His words. They wanted to take Him to the big boss. ️♂️ 21 The spies said nice words to Jesus. Then they asked, <jesus>Should we pay tax to Caesar?</jesus> ❓ 22 They said, <jesus>Do we pay or not?</jesus> 23 Jesus knew they were trying to trick Him. He said, <jesus>Show Me a coin.</jesus> 24 He said, <jesus>Whose face and name is on it?</jesus> They said, Caesar. ️ 25 Jesus said, <jesus>Give Caesar his things. Give God what is God’s.</jesus> ️➡️ ✝️➡️❤️ 26 They could not trap Jesus. They were surprised at His wise words and were quiet. 27 Some Sadducees came. They say people do not rise from the dead. They asked Jesus a question. ♂️⚰️➡️❌ 28 They said, Moses wrote a rule: If a man dies with no child, his brother must marry the wife and make a child. 29 They said, There were seven brothers.

No child. 3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣ ⚰️ 32 Last, the woman died too. ⚰️ 33 They asked, When people rise again, whose wife will she be? All seven had her. ❓️ 34 Jesus said, <jesus>People in this life marry.</jesus> 35 Jesus said, <jesus>But the people God picks for the new life will rise from the dead. They will not marry.</jesus> ️ 36 Jesus said, <jesus>They will not die. They will be like angels. They are God’s kids.</jesus> ❤️ 37 Jesus said, <jesus>Moses wrote about the bush.

All live to Him.</jesus> ✝️➡️️ 39 Some law teachers said, Teacher, You said it well. 40 After that, no one was brave to ask Jesus more questions. 41 Jesus said to them, <jesus>Why do people say God’s King is David’s son?</jesus> ❓ 42 Jesus said, <jesus>David said in God’s song book, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit by Me.’”</jesus> 43 Jesus said, <jesus>“I will put Your bad men under Your feet.”</jesus> 44 Jesus said, <jesus>If David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?</jesus> 45 Jesus spoke to His friends while all the people heard.
