<​Luke​>

<​9​> And when he was come near, he beheld the City, and wept over it; saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass the <​thee​> round, and keep thee <​in​> on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee. And they shall <​not​> leave in <​thee,​> one stone upon another; because thou knewest not <​10​> the time of thy visittation. <​10​> And he went into the Temple, and began to them <​cut​> <​cast​> out <​them​> who sold therein therein, and them who bought, saying unto them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer; but you <​11​> have made it a den of thieves. <​11/​> And he taught daily in the Temple. But the cheif Priests, and the Scribes, and the cheif of the people sought to destroy him, and could not find what they might do; for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the cheif Priest and the Scribes, came upon him with the Elders, and spake unto him, saying, Tell us by what authority doest thou those <​these​> things? Or, who is he who gave thee this authority? And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask thee <​you​> one thing answer me, The baptism of John; was it from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then beleived ye him not? And if we say, Of men, All the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you, by what authority I do those things <​2​> Then began he to speak to the people, this parable. A certain man planted a vinyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. And at the season of the harvest, he sent his servent to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vinyard; but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent another servent; and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. And again he sent a third; and the <​they​> wounded him also, and cast him out. Then said the Lord of the vinyard; What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be, they will reveren[ce] him, when they see him. But when the husbandmen saw him, th[ey] reasoned among themselves, saying; This is the heir; come, let u[s] [kill?] him, that the inheritence may be ours. So the <​they​> cast him ou[t] [of the?] [p. 93 (second numbering)]
