Mark 12
1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and dug a place for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
And he began to discourse with them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower in it, and put it into the hands of husbandmen, and removed to a distance.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
And at the proper time, he sent his servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
And they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him also they stoned, and wounded, and sent him away under indignities.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some they killed.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
At last, having an only and dear son, he sent him to them; for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
But those husbandmen said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
And they took him, and slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and transfer the vineyard to others.
10 And have all of you not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:
11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
From the Lord, was this; and it is wonderful in our eyes?
12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the people; for they knew that he spoke this similitude against them. And they left him, and went away.
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. (logos)
And they sent to him some of the Scribes and of the household of Herod, to ensnare him in discourse.
14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that you are true, and care for no man: for you regard not the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt all of you me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
And he knew their wile, and said to them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he says unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
And they brought one to him. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said to him: Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him.
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said:
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do all of you not therefore go astray, because all of you know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven.
26 And as concerning the dead, that they rise: have all of you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: 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 the God of the living: all of you therefore do greatly go astray.
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And you shall love the Lord your 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 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 might. This is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he:
The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside 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 his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
And Jesus perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again to question him.
35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that Messiah is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool.
For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet.
37 David therefore himself calls him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
David therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure.
38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love the salutation in the streets,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at feasts.
40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
They devour the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. These shall receive a greater condemnation.
41 And Jesus sat opposite to the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
And as Jesus sat over against the treasury-room, he saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. And many rich ones cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
And a poor widow came, and cast in two mites, which are a brass farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and says unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow has cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast into the treasury more than all they that cast in.
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her lack did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
For they all cast in of that which abounded to them, but she, of her poverty, hath cast in all that she possessed, the whole of her property.
