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 unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.
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.
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 unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled 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;
He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence 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 shall 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 forth 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 therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 And this Writing you did not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it became the head of a corner;
Have ye not read even this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner:
11 this was from the LORD, and it is wonderful in our eyes.”
This was from the Lord, 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 lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake 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 unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.
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 when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto 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, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, 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 it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto 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 unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. And they marveled greatly at him.
18 And the Sadducees come to Him, who say there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
And there come unto him Sadducees, which 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.
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
There were seven brethren: 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 behind him; 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 whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to 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 unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, 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 shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as 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;
But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spake unto 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 do greatly err.
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, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the 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, the Lord is one:
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 neighbour as thyself. There is none 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 unto him, Of a truth, Master, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none 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 his neighbour as himself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and 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 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.
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, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?
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 unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
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 whence is he his son? And the common people 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 in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,
39 and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
40 who are devouring the widows’ houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these will receive more abundant judgment.”
they which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive 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 down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 and having come, a poor widow put in two mites, which are a penny.
And there came a poor widow, and she cast 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 unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they which 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 did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
