6 But I am a worm, and not human;
scorned by others, and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock at me;
they make mouths at me, they shake their heads;
8 Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver
let him rescue the one in whom he delights!
9 Yet it was you who took me from the womb;
you kept me safe on my mothers breast.
10 On you I was cast from my birth,
and since my mother bore me you have been my God.
11 Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.

27 Again they came to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him 28and said, By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them? 29Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin? Answer me. 31They argued with one another, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him? 32But shall we say, Of human origin?they were afraid of the crowd, for all regarded John as truly a prophet. 33So they answered Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
12Then he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watch-tower; then he leased it to tenants and went to another country.
2When the season came, he sent a slave to the tenants to collect from them his share of the produce of the vineyard.
3But they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4And again he sent another slave to them; this one they beat over the head and insulted.
5Then he sent another, and that one they killed. And so it was with many others; some they beat, and others they killed.
6He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, They will respect my son.
7But those tenants said to one another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8So they seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others.
10Have you not read this scripture:
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;*
11 this was the Lords doing,
and it is amazing in our eyes?
12 When they realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowd. So they left him and went away.
13 Then they sent to him some Pharisees and some Herodians to trap him in what he said. 14And they came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not? 15Should we pay them, or should we not? But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, Why are you putting me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me see it. 16And they brought one. Then he said to them, Whose head is this, and whose title? They answered, The emperors. 17Jesus said to them, Give to the emperor the things that are the emperors, and to God the things that are Gods. And they were utterly amazed at him.
