CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Luke 20

Chief priests and scribes challenge Jesus’ authority, but He answers with a question about John’s baptism. He tells the parable of the wicked husbandmen, applying the rejected-stone Scripture to Himself. Spies then test Him about tribute to Caesar, and Sadducees challenge Him about resurrection. Jesus answers from Moses and asks how Christ can be both David’s son and David’s Lord before warning against scribes who devour widows’ houses.
