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 unto them in parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and made a fence about it, and digged a place for the wine-fat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and travelled abroad.
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 a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from them of the fruit of the vineyard:
3 And they caught [him], and beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
and they took him and 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 unto them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him on the head, and sent him away shamefully used.
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 many others, beating some, and killing others.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Having yet therefore one Son, his beloved, he sent him also at last unto them, saying, they will reverence 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 the husbandmen said to one another, 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 killed Him too, casting 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 will let 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, which the builders refused, is become the head of the corner:
11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
this was from the Lord, and it is marvellous 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 lay hands on Him, but they were afraid of the people; (for they knew that He spake the parable 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.
And they send to Him some of the pharisees, and of the Herodians to insnare Him in his discourse:
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 these, when they came, said to Him, Master, we know that thou art a man of truth, 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 pay tribute to Cesar, or not? should we give, or should we not give?
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].
But He knew their hypocrisy, and said to them, Why do ye tempt me? bring me a penny, 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.
So they brought one: and He saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said Cesar'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 Jesus answered and said unto them, Render then unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at Him.
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Then come the sadducees to Him, who say there is no resurrection;
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.
and they asked Him, saying, Master, Moses, in his writings tells us, if any one's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
Now there were seven brethren: 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 left no seed neither; and the third likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
And all the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all died the woman also.
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, when they rise again, whose wife shall be of them; for all the seven had her to 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 Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know 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 shall rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.
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 as to the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him in 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 of the living: therefore ye do greatly mistake.
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, who heard them disputing, seeing that He answered them well, came to Him and asked Him, Which is the chief 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, O Israel, the Lord our God is the 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 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 or chief 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 the second is like it, even this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour 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 scribe said unto Him, Truly, Master, thou hast spoke exceeding well; for there 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 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.
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 Jesus seeing that he answered discreetly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared any more to put questions to 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 Jesus spake and said, as He was teaching in the temple, How do the scribes 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 said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
So that David himself calleth Him Lord: how then is He his son? And many of the people 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 unto them as He was teaching them, Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and salutations in public-places,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and uppermost places at feasts;
40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive the heavier judgement.
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 as Jesus was sitting over against the treasury, He saw how the people threw money into the treasury, and many of the rich put in much;
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
and there came a poor widow and put in two mites, that is, a farthing.
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 He called his disciples to Him, and saith unto them, Verily I tell you, that this poor widow has given more than all those who have cast 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 have contributed out of their abundance: but she out of her penury hath given all that she had, even her whole living.
