this time we cannot show the standard English version , because 
part I , the (so-called)  “scribes asking Christ about his authority”
must be followed
by the (so-called) “parable of  the wicked tenants” ,
which in turn requires
a part of Luke 16 as the (so-called) “parable of the shrewd manager”  ;
… yet these three are ONE continuing theme :
 

 
main theme

… several times it showed now that what Christ said contains two aspects :
the “proclaiming the gospel – to all people”, as ‘in general’   (and see line 1 here) ,
but also – through the parables – inviting to go read the words of the Fáther    —
it is no wonder that Esau (=Pharisees)
especially mutilated the parables : so that the prophets would not be studied :

… remember : Esau had all 4 copies of the four evangelists in his hands ! ,
and this explains the several word-for-word sections he copied&pasted  ;
while another method he used
was “creating isolated sections” of a certain theme ,
so that reláted  – or ‘continuing’ – sections would remain Un-linked ,
and therefore the main theme would be mis-understood
(this is why Luke 16 belongs here , as part III) ;

… in this chapter both Christ and the Pharisees know what (-corruptions) they did :

 

buildup of this chapter :

• part I :  the Pharisees think no one will find out their corruptions :
  … yet they are not 100% sure of that ! ;
  hence they ask Christ “will there be óther ones whom will be
  given the authority to teach – like you have ?” ;
  … this section is NOT about ‘John’ or “questioning His authority” :
  they knew that very well !
• part II :
  the parable of the wicked farmers :
  … it were NOT “farmers to whom the master tenanted his vineyard to”,
  but the farmers are the Pharisees , who (-illegally) occupied the vineyard :
  the vineyard is “the prophets scroll”,
  so the farmers (‘as false words’) literally stand in the vineyard (‘scroll’) ! ;
  subtheme :
  God constantly ‘sends servants to the vineyard , to obtain her fruit’
  (we made a comparison with the timeframes Nicea and the Reformation) ,
  but the farmers beat them up , and sent them away empty-handed        —
  read : they will not have understood the words ;
  then ‘the son as the heir’ :
  … ofcóurse Esau suggested that this son must be Christ :
  but that is not the theme of this chapter ! ; instead , it is about the 144,000 ;
• part III :
  the cornerstone :
  … neither refers to Christ (-here) , but directly to Is. 28 “the other Reality”,
  because it are the sons – see II before – who will understand the prophets ;
  closing : the 144 understand
  (wrongly called ‘the parable of the shrewd manager’)  :
  yes they were ‘shrewd’ (‘smart’) but because they followed the directions
  how to understand what God said in prophets !
  (besides : God does not encourage mafia-type practices :
  in another parable He says “you won’t get out – untill you paid the last dime) ;
  and the circle is round again , having returned to part I

 

 
type corruptions : grave to very grave (see reasons in ‘theme’, above) ;
yet our track record is very good
and we declare that the context of this whole chapter is 100% restored
used and/or dismissed Greek roots :
… we FIRST care that the cóntext makes Sense and is comprehensible   —
but because of readibilty we have not explained each single corruption here ;
syntax buildup :
Part I :

line 3 :    A		(‘word’ mentioned ; required : ‘scriptures’)
line 4 :    B		(‘John’ mentioned (= prophet) + ‘men’ ; see 6)
line 5 :    A	– but negative	(need : ‘men’ ; and also ‘word’ per A)
line 6 :    B	– but negative	(‘John+prophet’ mentioned, see 4 ; + ‘men’, for 5 ; + ‘to stone’, in II – into ‘THE stone’ in next III)
Part II :   A + B	–  negative	(used : ‘to stone’ ; required : juxtaposition)

Part III :  C	–  changing to positive	(now : THE stone , following ‘to stone’, + used : ‘scriptures’)
closing :

Part III :  C

– positive

(required : ‘words + scriptures + understand’)

• [=’continued context  —
  … it seems incredible that the so-called (!) “shrewd manager parable” is next ,
  but first , it is NOT a ‘parable’, and yes it fits here perfectly – per context ;
  we must keep the note short :
  now the explanation of the above parable follows   —
  the “tried cornerstone” (Is. 28) hints to “the other Reality theme” ,
  while a verse before that (in 28) is about “precept on precept , line upon line” ,
  indicating HOW to read the scroll / prophets the right way :
  … which is exact the main theme of this part III        !
