< Mark 12 >

1 Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard—put a hedge around it, dug a wine trough, built a tower—rented it to farmers and went on a journey.
And He began to them in parables (to speak: *N(k)O*) A vineyard a man planted and he placed around [it] a fence and dug a wine vat and built a tower and rented out it to farmers and traveled abroad
2 At the proper time he sent a slave to the farmers, that he might receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
And he sent to the farmers at the due time a servant that from the farmers he may receive from (the fruits *N(k)O*) of the vineyard.
3 But they took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
(*k*) (But *N(k)O*) having taken him they beat [him] and they sent [him] away empty-handed.
4 Again he sent another slave to them, and that one they wounded in the head by stoning, and sent him away shamefully treated.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him and him (stoning *K*) they struck on the head and (sent *K*) (dishonored. *N(k)O*)
5 Again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
And (again *k*) another He sent; and him and him they killed, also many others, (some *N(k)O*) indeed beating, (some *N(k)O*) however killing.
6 Finally, still having his one beloved son, he even sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Yet (therefore *K*) one (did have *N(k)O*) son beloved (of him; *k*) he sent (and *k*) him last to them saying that They will have respect for the son of mine.
7 But those farmers said to one another: ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours.’
Those however farmers to themselves they said that This is the heir; come let us kill him, and ours will be the inheritance.
8 So they took him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
And having taken they killed him and cast forth him outside the vineyard.
9 “What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those farmers, and give the vineyard to others.
What therefore will do the master of the vineyard? he will come and he will destroy the farmers and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected, is the very one that became the cornerstone;
Not even Scripture this have you read: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become the chief of [the] corner;
11 this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
from [the] Lord was this, and it is marvelous in [the] eyes of us.’?
12 So they started looking for a way to arrest Him, because they knew He had spoken the parable against them, but they were in fear of the crowd. Then they left Him and went away.
And they were seeking Him to lay hold of and they feared the crowd; they knew for that against them the parable He had spoken. And having left Him they went away.
13 Then they sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to Him, in order to trap Him with a question.
And they send to Him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians that Him they may catch in discourse.
14 Upon arriving they said to Him: “Teacher, we know that you are honest—you do not ‘protect’ anyone, because you do not consider the position of people, but teach the way of God in truth—is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
(*k*) (And *N(k)O*) having come they say to Him; Teacher, we know that true You are and not there is care to You about no [one]; not for You look on [the] appearance of men but on the basis of [the] truth the way of God teach. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
15 Should we pay, or should we not?” But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.”
shall we pay or not shall we pay? And knowing of them the hypocrisy He said to them; Why Me do you test? do bring Me a denarius that I may see [it].
16 So they did, and He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar's.”
And they brought [it]. And He says to them; Of whom [is] likeness this and the inscription? And they said to Him; Caesar’s.
17 Then Jesus answered them by saying, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at Him.
(and answering *k*) (And *no*) Jesus said to them; the [things] of Caesar do give back to Caesar and the [things] of God to God. And (they were amazed *N(k)(o)*) at Him.
18 Then some Sadducees came to Him—they say there is no resurrection—and asked Him, saying:
And come Sadducees to Him who say a resurrection not being and (they were questioning *N(k)O*) Him saying;
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies and leaves behind a wife, but no children, then his brother should take that wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if of anyone a brother shall die and he may leave behind a wife and not may leave (child *N(K)O*) that shall take the brother of him the wife (of him *k*) and may raise up seed for the brother of him.
20 Well there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
Seven brothers there were; and the first took a wife and dying not he left seed.
21 So the second one took her, and died; and neither did he leave any offspring. The third likewise.
And the second took her and died (and *k*) (not *N(k)O*) (he himself *k*) (having left *N(k)O*) seed and the third likewise;
22 In fact, all seven took her, and left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.
And (took her *k*) the seven (and *k*) not left offspring. (Last *N(k)O*) of all also the woman died.
23 In the resurrection, whenever they may rise, whose wife will she be?—because all seven had her as wife.”
In the (therefore *K*) resurrection when they may rise of which of them will she be wife? For the seven had her as wife.
24 Then in answer Jesus said to them: “You do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God—is this not the reason that you err?
(and *k*) (Was saying *N(k)O*) to them Jesus (said: *k*) Surely because of this do you err not knowing the Scriptures nor [knowing] the power of God?
25 Whenever people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in the heavens.
When for out from [the] dead they may rise, neither do they marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels (*ko*) in the heavens.
26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
Concerning now the dead that they rise, surely you have read in the book of Moses on (the *N(k)O*) bush (how *N(k)O*) spoke to him God saying; I myself [am] the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?
27 He is not the God of dead people, but the God of living ones. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
Not He is (the *k*) God of [the] dead but (God *k*) of [the] living; (you yourselves therefore *KO*) Greatly you err.
28 Then one of the scribes came on the scene, heard them arguing, realized that He had answered them well, and asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
And having come up one of the scribes, having heard when they are reasoning together, (seeing *N(k)O*) that well He answered them he questioned Him; Which is commandment [the] first (of all *N(k)O*)
29 Jesus answered him: “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord your (pl) God, the Lord is one;
(now *k*) Answered Jesus (to him *ko*) The first (is *no*) (of all *K(o)*) (commandments: *K*) do listen O Israel: [The] Lord the God of us [the] Lord One is;
30 and you (sg) shall love the Lord your (sg) God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
and you will love [the] Lord the God of you with all the heart of you and with all the soul of you and with all the mind of you and with all the strength of you.’ (this first commandment. *KO*)
31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
(and *ko*) [The] second (like *KO*) this: You will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’ Greater than these another commandment not there is.
32 So the scribe said to Him: “Well said, teacher; you said truly that He is one, and there is no other except He.
And said to Him the scribe; Right, Teacher, according to truth You have spoken that One He is (God *K*) and not there is another besides Him.
33 And to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the soul and with all the strength, and to love the neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
and to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding (and from all soul *KO*) and with all the strength and to love the neighbour as oneself (more excessive *N(K)O*) is than all the burnt offerings and (*k*) sacrifices.
34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared ask Him any question.
And Jesus having seen him that wisely he answered He said to him; Not far are you from the kingdom of God. And no [one] no longer no longer was daring Him to question.
35 Then, teaching in the temple, Jesus reacted by saying: “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah is David's son?
And answering Jesus was saying teaching in the temple; How say the scribes that the Christ [the] son of David is?
36 Because David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’
Himself (for *ko*) David said by the Spirit Holy: (Said *NK(o)*) (the *ko*) Lord to the Lord of me; (do sit *NK(o)*) at [the] right hand of Me until when I may place of the enemies of You (under *N(k)O*) of the feet of You.’
37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so how can He be his son?” The large crowd listened to Him with pleasure.
Himself (therefore *K*) David names Him Lord, then how of him is He son? And the great crowd was listening to Him gladly.
38 Then He said to them in His teaching: “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes and to get greetings in the market places,
And (to them *k*) in the teaching of Him He was saying; do beware of the scribes who are desiring in robes to walk about and greetings in the marketplaces
39 and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
and first seats in the synagogues and first places at the feasts,
40 who devour the houses of widows, while praying long and loud for a show. These will receive a more severe judgment.”
those devouring the houses of the widows and as a pretext at great length praying, These will receive more excessive judgment.
41 Then Jesus sat down opposite the offering chest and started watching how the people were depositing money into the chest. Many rich people put in large amounts.
And having sat down (Jesus *k*) (opposite *NK(o)*) the treasury He was watching how the crowd cast money into the treasury. and many rich were casting [in] much;
42 A certain poor widow also came and put in two ‘lepta’, which equal a ‘quadrans’.
And having come one widow poor she cast [in] lepta two which is a kodrantes.
43 So summoning His disciples He said to them: “I tell you assuredly that this poor widow has put more in the chest than all these contributors;
And having called to [Him] the disciples of Him (He says *N(k)O*) to them; Amen I say to you that widow this poor more than all (has cast [in] *N(k)O*) of those (casting *N(k)O*) into the treasury;
44 because they all gave out of their excess, but she, out of her lack, put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”
All for out of that which is abounding to them cast [in], she however out of the poverty of her all as much as she had cast [in], all the livelihood of her.
