Resurrection is the returning to life after death. Jesus says that there are those "who are considered worthy" who will experience resurrection.

What things are Gods? "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar`s, and to God the things that are God`s."

As maker of all things, all things belong to God. Everything is his to claim.

Why were the chief priests and scribes angry, what was it that Jesus said?
Jesus is speaking of himself as the heir. The vineyard, which is God's kingdom, will be given to others and not to those who 'reject the cornerstone.' The priests realize that it is them that Jesus is speaking about.

Why do you think the priests, scribes, elders did not answer Jesus?
Through their silence to Jesus' question they felt they could avoid confrontation from the crowd. However, in keeping their silence they didn't accomplish what they set out to do and that is to make Christ look foolish and denounce him to the crowd.

Why was Zaccheaus so joyful when Jesus asked to stay at his house?

Zaccheaus realized he was a sinner and in need of Jesus. When Jesus stated that he wanted to stay with him, it may have been a sign to Zaccheaus that he was forgiven and he was filled with joy. In response he offered to give away half his possessions and asked for forgiveness for any acts of wrong.

When a person feels true forgiveness of sins, it is freeing and Zaccheaus' reaction was that of happiness as well as having the ability to ask forgiveness of others he may have wronged.
