Mark 12
1 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.
And he beganne to speake vnto them in similitudes. A certayne man planted a vineyarde and copased it with an hedge and ordeyned a wyne presse and bylt a toure in yt. And let yt out to hyre vnto husbandme and went into a straunge countre.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.
And when the tyme was come he sent to the tennauntes a servaunt that he myght receave of the tenauntes of the frute of the vyneyarde.
3 And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
And they caught him and bet him and sent him agayne emptye.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.
And moreoever he sent vnto them another servaunt and at him they cast stones and brake his heed and sent him agayne all to revyled.
5 And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.
And agayne he sent another and him they kylled: and many other beetynge some and kyllinge some.
6 He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Yet had he one sonne whom he loved tenderly him also he sent at the last vnto them sayinge: they wyll feare my sonne.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
But the tenauntes sayde amongest them selves: this is the heyre: come let vs kyll hym and ye inheritauce shalbe oures.
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
And they toke him and kyllid him and cast him out of the vyneyarde.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
What shall then the lorde of the vyneyarde do? He will come and destroye ye tenauntes and let out the vyneyarde to other.
10 Have ye not read even this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner:
Have ye not redde this scripture? The stoone which ye bylders dyd refuse is made ye chefe stoone in ye corner:
11 This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
this was done of ye Lorde and is mervelous in oure eyes.
12 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.
And they went about to take him but they feared the people. For they perceaved that he spake that similitude agaynst them. And they left him and went their waye.
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.
And they sent vnto him certayne of ye Pharises with Herodes servantes to take him in his wordes.
14 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?
And assone as they were come they sayd vnto him: master we knowe yt thou arte true and carest for no man: for thou consyderest not the degre of men but teachest the waye of God truly: Ys it laufull to paye tribute to Cesar 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.
Ought we to geve or ought we not to geve? He vnderstode their simulacion and sayde vnto them: Why tepte ye me? Brynge me a peny that I maye se yt.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s.
And they brought. And he sayde vnto them: Whose ys thys ymage and superscripcion? And they sayde vnto him Cesars.
17 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.
And Iesus answered and saide vnto the: Then geve to Cesar that which belongeth to Cesar: and to God that which perteyneth to God. And they mervelled at him.
18 And there come unto him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Then came the Saduces vnto him which saye ther is no resurreccion. And they axed hym sayinge:
19 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.
Master Moses wroote vnto vs yf eny mans brother dye and leve his wyfe behinde him and leve no chyldren: that then hys brother shuld take his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.
20 There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;
Ther were seven brethren: and the fyrst toke a wyfe and when he dyed leeft no seed behynde him.
21 and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:
And the seconde toke hir and dyed: nether leeft eny seed. And the thyrde lyke wyse.
22 and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
And seve had her and leeft no seed behynde them. Last of all the wyfe dyed also.
23 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
In the resurreccio then when they shall ryse agayne: whose wyfe shall she be of them? For seven had her to wyfe.
24 Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Are ye not therfore deceaved and vnderstonde not the scryptures nether the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.
For when they shall ryse agayne fro deeth they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels which are in heven.
26 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?
As touchynge the deed that they shall ryse agayne: have ye not redde in the boke of Moses howe in the busshe God spake vnto him sayinge: I am the God of Abraham and God of Ysaac and the God of Iacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err.
He is not the God of the deed but the God of the livynge. Ye are therfore greatly deceaved.
28 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?
And ther came one of the scribes that had hearde them disputynge to gedder and perceaved that he had answered them well and axed him: Which is the fyrste of all the commaundemetes?
29 Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:
Iesus answered him: the fyrste of all the comaundementes is. Heare Israel: The Lorde God is one Lorde.
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.
And thou shalt love the Lorde thy God with all thy hert and with all thy soule and with all thy mynde and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundement.
31 The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
And the seconde is lyke vnto this: Thou shalt love thy neghbour as thy silfe. Ther is none other commaundement greater then these.
32 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:
And the Scribe sayde vnto him: well master thou hast sayd ye truthe that ther ys one God and that ther is none but he.
33 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.
And to love him with all the herte and with all the mynde and with all the soule and with all the stregth: and to love a mans neghbour as him silfe ys a greater thinge then all burntofferings 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 Iesus sawe that he answered discretly he sayde vnto him: Thou arte not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that durst axe him eny questio.
35 And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?
And Iesus answered and sayde teachynge in the temple: how saye the Scribes yt Christ is the sonne of David?
36 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.
for David him selfe inspyred with the holy goost sayde: The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.
37 David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
Then David hym silfe calleth him Lorde: and by what meanes is he then his sonne? And moche people hearde him gladly.
38 And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,
And he sayde vnto them in his doctrine: beware of the Scribes which love to goo in longe clothinge: and love salutacions in ye market places
39 and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
and the chefe seates in the synagoges and to syt in the vppermost roumes at feastes
40 they which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.
and devoure widowes houses and that vnder coloure of longe prayinge. These shall receave greater dampnacion.
41 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.
And Iesus sat over agaynst the treasury and behelde how the people put money in to the treasury. And many that were ryche cast in moch.
42 And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
And ther cam a certayne povre widowe and she threwe in two mytes which make a farthynge.
43 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:
And he called vnto him his disciples and sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you that this pover widowe hath cast moare in then all they which have caste into the treasury.
44 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.
For they all dyd cast in of their superfluyte: but she of her poverte dyd cast in all that she had eve all her livynge.
