Mark 12
1 And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.
And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.
And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.
5 And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.
And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.
He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
Have ye not read even this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner:
11 By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
12 And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way.
And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away.
13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians; that they should catch him in his words.
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.
14 Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar; or shall we not give it?
And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
15 Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? bring me a penny that I may see it.
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar’s.
And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s.
17 And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. And they marveled greatly at him.
18 And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:
And there come unto him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.
There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;
21 And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.
and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:
22 And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.
and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.
26 And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err.
28 And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.
And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?
29 And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
31 And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.
And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Master, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he:
33 And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David?
And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace,
And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And to sit in the first chairs, in the synagogues, and to have the highest places at suppers:
and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
40 Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer: these shall receive greater judgment.
they which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.
41 And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much.
And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.
And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they which are casting into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.
for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
