Mark 12
1 Then Jesus began to speak to them using illustrated stories. “Once there was a man who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, dug a pit for a winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to some farmers, and left on a journey.
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁϥϭⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲕⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲓⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ.
2 When harvest-time came, he sent one of his servants to the tenant farmers to collect some of the grapes from the vineyard.
ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ϩⲁ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲓⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲓⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ.
3 But they grabbed hold of him, beat him up, and sent him away with nothing.

4 So the man sent another servant. They hit him over the head and abused him.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲫⲟⲗϩϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲟϣϥ.
5 He sent another servant, and this one they killed. He sent many other servants, and they beat some of them and killed others.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲭⲉⲧ ⲁⲩϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲙⲏϣ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲁⲩϩⲓ⳿ⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
6 In the end the only one left was his son whom he loved, and eventually he sent him, thinking ‘they will respect my son.’
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲓ ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲫⲓⲧ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ.
7 But the farmers said to themselves, ‘Here's the owner's heir—if we kill him, we can get what he would have inherited!’
ⲍ̅ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲁⲙⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲣⲑⲱⲛ.
8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϭⲓⲧϥ ⲁⲩϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧϥ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲁϩ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲗⲓ.
9 Now what is the owner of the vineyard going to do? He will come and kill those farmers, and then he will lease the vineyard to others.

10 Haven't you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone rejected by the builders has become the chief cornerstone.

12 The Jewish leaders tried to have him arrested because they realized that the illustration was directed at them, but they were afraid of the crowd. So they left him alone and went away.

13 Later they sent some Pharisees with some of Herod's supporters to Jesus in an attempt to catch him out by what he said.

14 They arrived and said, “Teacher, we know you are a truthful person and you don't look for approval, because you don't care about status or position. Instead you teach God's way in accordance with the truth. So is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅
15 Should we pay up, or should we refuse?” Jesus, realizing how hypocritical they were, asked them, “Why are you trying to catch me out? Bring me a coin to look at.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϣⲟⲃⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲑⲉⲣⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
16 They gave him a coin. “Whose is this image, and whose inscription?” Jesus asked them. “Caesar's,” they replied.

17 “Then give back to Caesar what belongs to him, and give back to God what belongs to him,” Jesus told them. They were amazed at his reply.

18 Then the Sadducees, who deny the resurrection, came and asked a question:

19 “Teacher, Moses instructed us that if a man dies, leaving his widow childless, then his brother should marry his wife, and have children by her on his behalf.

20 Once there were seven brothers. The first one got married, and then died without having children.

22 In fact all seven died without having children. In the end the woman died too.

25 When the dead rise, they don't marry, and aren't given in marriage. They're like the angels in heaven.

26 But concerning the resurrection, haven't you read in Moses' writings the story of the burning bush, where God spoke to Moses and told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’

28 One of the religious teachers came and heard them arguing. He recognized that Jesus had given them a good answer. So he asked him, “Which is the most important commandment of all?”

31 The second is ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There's no more important commandment than these.”

40 They cheat widows out of what they own, and cover up the kind of people they really are with long-winded prayers. They will receive severe condemnation in the judgment.”
