Mark 12
1 And He began to speak to them in allegories: “A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and dug a wine vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad;
And he began to speak to them in parables: A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower; and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
2 and he sent to the farmers at the due time a servant, that from the farmers he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 and they, having taken him, severely beat [him], and sent him away empty.
And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 And again he sent to them another servant, and having cast stones at that one, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away—dishonored.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and treated shamefully.
5 And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son—his beloved—he also sent him to them last, saying, They will respect my son;
Still he had one beloved son; he sent him last to them, saying, They will respect my son.
7 and those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and the inheritance will be ours;
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 and having taken him, they killed, and cast [him] forth outside the vineyard.
And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 And this Writing you did not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it became the head of a corner;
And have ye not read this scripture: “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the cornerstone;
11 this was from the LORD, and it is wonderful in our eyes.”
from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous in our eyes”?
12 And they were seeking to lay hold on Him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that He spoke the allegory against them, and having left Him, they went away;
And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitude; for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And they left him, and went away.
13 and they send to Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare Him in discourse,
And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to ensnare him in speech.
14 and they having come, say to Him, “Teacher, we have known that You are true, and You are not caring for anyone, for You do not look to the face of men, but in truth teach the way of God; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? May we give, or may we not give?”
And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 And He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me? Bring Me a denarius, that I may see”;
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, seeing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why are ye trying me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.
16 and they brought, and He says to them, “Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s”;
And they brought one. And he saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 and Jesus answering said to them, “Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”; and they wondered at Him.
And Jesus said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marveled at him exceedingly.
18 And the Sadducees come to Him, who say there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
Then come to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if anyone’s brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Teacher, Moses wrote to us, “If a man's brother die, and leave a wife and no child, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.”
20 There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he 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, not having left seed, and the third in like manner,
And the second took her and died, leaving no seed; and the third likewise.
22 and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all the woman also died;
And the seven left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 in the resurrection, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them will she be wife—for the seven had her as wife?”
In the resurrection, when they have risen, of which of them will she be wife? for the seven had her for a wife.
24 And Jesus answering said to them, “Do you not go astray because of this, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
Jesus said to them, Do ye not err on this account, that ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 For when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.
For when they have risen from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.
26 And concerning the dead, that they rise: have you not read in the Scroll of Moses (at the bush), how God spoke to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
And concerning the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”?
27 He is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; you then go greatly astray.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye err greatly.
28 And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that He answered them well, questioned Him, “Which is the first command of all?”
And one of the scribes came up, having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which commandment is first of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commands—Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one;
Jesus answered, The first is, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;
30 and you will love the LORD your God out of all your heart, and out of all your soul, and out of all your understanding, and out of all your strength—this [is] the first command;
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.”
31 and the second [is] like [it], this, You will love your neighbor as yourself—there is no other command greater than these.”
The second is this: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said to Him, “Well, Teacher, in truth You have spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;
And the scribe said to him, In truth, Teacher, thou hast well said, that He is one, and that there is no other but he;
33 and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as one’s self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.”
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.
34 And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God”; and no one dared question Him anymore.
And Jesus, perceiving that he answered wisely, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And after this no one dared to question him.
35 And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, “How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
And Jesus answered and said, while he was teaching in the temple, How is it that the scribes say, that the Christ is David's son?
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand, Until I place Your enemies—Your footstool;
David himself said in the Holy Spirit, “The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
37 therefore David himself calls Him Lord, and from where is He his son?” And the great multitude were hearing Him gladly,
David himself calleth him lord; and how can he be his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.
38 and He was saying to them in His teaching, “Beware of the scribes who will to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
And he said in his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love salutations in the markets,
39 and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts;
40 who are devouring the widows’ houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these will receive more abundant judgment.”
who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive a far greater condemnation.
41 And Jesus having sat down opposite the treasury, was beholding how the multitude puts brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,
And he sat over against the treasury, and was beholding how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich were casting in much.
42 and having come, a poor widow put in two mites, which are a penny.
And a certain poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And having called near His disciples, He says to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those putting into the treasury;
And he called to him his disciples, and said to them, Truly do I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury.
44 for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, put in all that she had—all her living.”
For they all threw in of their abundance; but she out of her penury threw in all that she had, her whole living.
