Luke 20:19 in Context — Luke 20

17 Mas [Jesus] ,olhando para eles, disse: Por que, então, isto está escrito: A pedra que os construtores rejeitaram, essa foi posta como a principal da esquina?

18 Todo aquele que cair sobre aquela pedra, se quebrará em pedaços; e aquele sobre quem ela cair, se fará pó.

19 E os chefes dos sacerdotes e os escribas queriam detê-lo naquela mesma hora, mas temiam ao povo; porque entenderam que foi contra eles que ele tinha dito a parábola.

20 E, observando-o, mandaram espiões, que fingissem ser justos, para o pegarem por meio de algo que ele dissesse, e o entregarem ao poder e autoridade do governador.

21 E perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: Mestre, nós sabemos que falas e ensinas corretamente, e que não te importas com as aparências, mas na verdade tu ensinas o caminho de Deus.
