< Mark 12 >

1 And he began to speak to them in parables: “A man dug a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a pit, and built a tower, and he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out on a long journey.

2 And in time, he sent a servant to the farmers, in order to receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the farmers.

3 But they, having apprehended him, beat him and sent him away empty.

6 Therefore, having still one son, most dear to him, he sent him also to them, at the very end, saying, ‘For they will reverence my son.’

12 And they sought to take hold of him, but they feared the crowd. For they knew that he had spoken this parable about them. And leaving him behind, they went away.

14 And these, arriving, said to him: “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you do not favor anyone; for you do not consider the appearance of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give the tribute to Caesar, or should we not give it?”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅
15 And knowing their skill in deception, he said to them: “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, so that I may see it.”

16 And they brought it to him. And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

17 So in response, Jesus said to them, “Then render to Caesar, the things that are of Caesar; and to God, the things that are of God.” And they wondered over him.

18 And the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him, saying:

19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if any man’s brother will have died and left behind a wife, and not have left behind sons, his brother should take his wife to himself and should raise up offspring for his brother.

20 So then, there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without leaving behind offspring.

22 And in like manner, each of the seven received her and did not leave behind offspring. Last of all, the woman also died.

23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they will rise again, to which of them will she be a wife? For each of the seven had her as wife.”

24 And Jesus responded by saying to them: “But have you not gone astray, by knowing neither the scriptures, nor the power of God?

28 And one of the scribes, who had heard them arguing, drew near to him. And seeing that he had answered them well, he questioned him as to which was the first commandment of all.
