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 digged [a place for] the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
And he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set up a hedge, and dug a wine vat, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.
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 season he sent forth a bondman to the farmers, so that he might receive by the farmers from the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they caught [him], and beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
And having seized him, 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 another bondman to them. And that man, having stoned, they wounded in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
And again he sent another, and that man they killed, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Therefore, still having his one beloved son, he also sent him to them, last, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
But those farmers 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 having taken him, they killed him, and cast him outside 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 the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 And have ye 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 that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner.
11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
This happened from the Lord, and it is marvelous 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 seize him. And they feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And having left him, they went away.
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.
And they send some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, so that they might catch him in talk.
14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
And when they came, they say to him, Teacher, we have seen that thou are true, and it is not a care to thee about any man, for thou look not to a personage of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to give tribute to Caesar or not?
15 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].
Should we give, or should we not give? But Jesus, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do ye test me? Bring me a denarius, so that I may see it.
16 And they brought [it]. And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.
And they brought it. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they marveled at him.
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
And Sadducees come to him, who say there is no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,
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, If a man's brother dies, and leaves behind a wife, and leaves no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for 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 dying 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, neither did he leave seed behind, and the third likewise.
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 when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Are ye not led astray because of this: not knowing 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 neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents in the heavens.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
But about the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, 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 the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
He is not the God of the dead, but God of the living. Ye therefore are much misled.
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 scholars having come, having heard them disputing, knowing that he had answered them well, he questioned him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, thou Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,
30 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: this [is] the first commandment.
and thou shall love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
And this second is similar, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
And the scholar said to him, Well, teacher. Thou spoke in truth that he is one, and there is no other but he.
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 to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 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.]
And when Jesus saw him, that he answered wisely, he said to him, Thou are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared to question him any more.
35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
And having responded as he taught in the temple, Jesus said, How do the scholars say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The Lord says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I may place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
David himself therefore calls him Lord, and in what way is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.
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 in his teaching he said to them, Look away from the scholars, those who desire to go about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
those who devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. These will receive greater condemnation.
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
And having sat down opposite the treasury, Jesus watched how the multitude cast money into the treasury, and many rich men cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
And one poor widow having come, she cast in two mites, which are a quadrans.
43 And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
And having summoned his disciples, he says to them, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury.
44 For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
For they all cast in from that which is abundant to them, but she from her need cast in all, as many things she had, her whole living.
