Mark 12
1 And he began to be speaking unto them, in parables, —A man planted, a vineyard, and put round it a wall, and digged a wine-vat, and built a tower, —and let it out to husbandmen; and left home.
And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard, and made a fence round [it] and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
2 And he sent forth, unto the husbandmen, in the season, a servant, that, from the husbandmen, he might receive of the fruits of the vineyard;
And he sent a bondman to the husbandmen at the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 and, taking him, they beat him, and sent him away, empty.
But they took him, and beat [him], and sent [him] away empty.
4 And, again, sent he forth unto them, another servant; and, him, they smote on the head, and dishonoured.
And again he sent to them another bondman; and [at] him they [threw stones, and] struck [him] on the head, and sent [him] away with insult.
5 And another sent he forth; and, him, they slew. And many others; some, indeed beating, and, others, slaying.
And [again] he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
6 Yet one, had he, a son beloved: he sent him forth last unto them, saying—They will pay deference unto my son!
Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.
7 But, those husbandmen, unto themselves, said—This, is the heir: Come! let us slay him, and, ours, shall be, the inheritance.
But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours.
8 And, taking, they slew him, and cast him forth outside the vineyard.
And they took him and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
9 What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come, and destroy the husbandmen, and let the vineyard unto others.
What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Have ye not, this scripture, read—A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become head of the corner!
Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone:
11 From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes?
this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
12 And they were seeking, to secure, him, —and were in fear of the multitude; for they perceived that, against them, the parable he had spoken. And, leaving him, they departed.
And they sought to lay hold of him, and they feared the crowd; for they knew that he had spoken the parable of them. And they left him and went away.
13 And they send forth unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might, catch, him, in discourse.
And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in speaking.
14 And, coming, they say unto him—Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men; but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach: —Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?
And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not men's person, but teachest the way of God with truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
15 But, he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them—Why are ye, tempting, me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.
Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see [it].
16 And, they, brought one. And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image, and the inscription? And, they, said unto him—Caesar’s.
And they brought [it]. And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 And, Jesus, said—the things of Caesar, render, unto Caesar, and, the things of God, unto God. And they were marvelling at him.
And Jesus answering said to them, Pay what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God. And they wondered at him.
18 And there come Sadducees unto him, —who, indeed say—Resurrection, there is none! and they were questioning him, saying—
And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying,
19 Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, that—If one’s brother die, and leave behind a wife, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Seven brethren, there were: and, the first, took a wife, and, dying, left no seed, —
There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;
21 And, the second, took her, and died, not leaving behind seed, —and, the third, likewise, —
and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.
22 And, the seven, left no seed; last of all, the woman also, died: —
And the seven [took her and] did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection, —of, which, of them shall she be, wife? For, the seven, had her to wife.
In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?
24 Jesus said unto them—Are ye not, for this cause, deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 For, when, from among the dead, they rise, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like messengers in the heavens.
For when they rise from among [the] dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels [who are] in the heavens.
26 But, as touching the dead, that they, do rise, —Have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying—I [am] the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob: —
But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the section of] 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 a God of, dead, men, but of, living. Greatly, are ye deceiving yourselves.
He is not the God of [the] dead, but of [the] living. Ye therefore greatly err.
28 And one of the Scribes, coming near, hearing them discussing, seeing that, well, he had answered them, began to question him—Which is the chief commandment of all?
And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is [the] first commandment of all?
29 Jesus answered—The chief is: Hear! O Israel, —The Lord our God, is, one Lord;
And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord;
30 Therefore shalt thou 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 Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is [the] first commandment.
31 The second, is, this—Thou shalt love, thy neighbour, as thyself. Greater than these, other commandment, is there none.
And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.
32 The Scribe said unto him—Well, Teacher! in truth, hast thou said—He is, One, and there is none other, than he;
And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to [the] truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him;
33 And, to love him, with all the heart, and with all the understanding, —and with all the might; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 And, Jesus, seeing him, that, with intelligence he answered, said unto him—Not far, [art thou] from the kingdom of God! And, no one, any longer, was daring to, question, him.
And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more.
35 And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple—How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David?
And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
36 David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, —The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet.
[for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.
37 David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own son? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly.
David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.
38 And, in his teaching, he was saying—Beware of the Scribes, who desire, in robes, to be walking about, and salutations in the markets,
And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
40 Who devour widows’ houses, and, for a pretence, are long in prayer: these, shall receive a more surpassing judgment.
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
41 And, taking his seat over against the treasury, he was observing how, the multitude, was casting in copper into the treasury, and, man rich, were casting in, much.
And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much.
42 And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing.
And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
43 And, calling near his disciples, he said to them—Verily, I say unto you, this destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in, of those casting into the treasury;
And having called his disciples to [him] he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:
44 For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in, —the whole of her living.
for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.
