Lk 20:1-26

• Authority of Jesus questioned
  
• by the
  
• chief priests and the
  
• teachers of the law,
  
• elders
• Jesus links his authority to John's
• apparently the right answer is from God; but the questioner didn't want to admit that, fearing that they, too, must submit to it;
• so their hearts had set to against Jesus, if they were really asking, then the answer had been given;
• Parable of the Tenants
• Jesus was aiming this at
  
• the chief priests
• teachers of the law
• they got the message and wanted to arrest him immediately
• Tax to Caesar
• spies were sent to try to catch Jesus on something he said against Caesar, so they might send him to the Roman authority;
  
• give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's
