Mark 12
1 And he began to discourse with them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower in it, and put it into the hands of husbandmen, and removed to a distance.
And he began to speak to them by parables. A [certain] man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about [it], and digged [a place for] the wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2 And at the proper time, he sent his servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the fruits of the vineyard.
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they beat him, and sent him away empty.
And they caught [him], and beat him and sent [him] away empty.
4 And again he sent to them another servant; and him also they stoned, and wounded, and sent him away under indignities.
And again, he sent to them another servant: and at him they cast stones, and wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away shamefully handled.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some they killed.
And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 At last, having an only and dear son, he sent him to them; for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.
Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last to 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 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 they took him, and slew him, and cast him out of 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 those husbandmen, and transfer 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 to others.
10 And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11 From the Lord, was this; and it is wonderful in our eyes?
This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
12 And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the people; for they knew that he spoke this similitude against them. And they left him, and went away.
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 departed.
13 And they sent to him some of the Scribes and of the household of Herod, to ensnare him in discourse.
And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.
14 And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?
And when they had come, they say to 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 Cesar, or not?
15 And he knew their wile, and said to them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see [it].
16 And they brought one to him. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said to him: Caesar's.
And they brought [it]: and he saith to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Cesar's.
17 Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him.
And Jesus answering, said to them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they wondered at him.
18 Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said:
Then come to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.
Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother shall die, and leave [his] wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
20 There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.
Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner.
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any 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 had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her.
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her for a wife.
24 Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
And Jesus answering, said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven.
26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
And concerning the dead that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush 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 the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
28 And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments?
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?
29 Jesus said to 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 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 might. 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 commandment.
31 And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: there is no other commandment greater than these.
32 The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside him.
And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he.
33 And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts 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] neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 And Jesus perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again to question him.
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that Messiah is the son of David?
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet.
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure.
David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he [then] his son? and the common people heard him gladly.
38 And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love the salutation in the streets,
And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and [love] salutations in the market-places,
39 and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at feasts.
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 They devour the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. These shall receive a greater condemnation.
Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41 And as Jesus sat over against the treasury-room, he saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. And many rich ones cast in much.
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.
42 And a poor widow came, and cast in two mites, which are a brass farthing.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast into the treasury more than all they that cast in.
And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more, than all they who have cast into the treasury.
44 For they all cast in of that which abounded to them, but she, of her poverty, hath cast in all that she possessed, the whole of her property.
For all [they] cast in of their abundance: but she of her want cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
