4   The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων

5   And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
οι δε συνελογισαντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες οτι εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει διατι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω

6   But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων πας ο λαος καταλιθασει ημας πεπεισμενος γαρ εστιν ιωαννην προφητην ειναι

7   And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
και απεκριθησαν μη ειδεναι ποθεν

8   And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω

9   Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
ηρξατο δε προς τον λαον λεγειν την παραβολην ταυτην ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοις και απεδημησεν χρονους ικανους

10   And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
και εν καιρω απεστειλεν προς τους γεωργους δουλον ινα απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος δωσιν αυτω οι δε γεωργοι δειραντες αυτον εξαπεστειλαν κενον

11   And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι ετερον δουλον οι δε κακεινον δειραντες και ατιμασαντες εξαπεστειλαν κενον

12   And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
και προσεθετο πεμψαι τριτον οι δε και τουτον τραυματισαντες εξεβαλον
