Mark 12
1 And He began to speak unto them in parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and made a fence about it, and digged a place for the wine-fat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and travelled abroad.
And he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set up a hedge, and dug a wine vat, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.
2 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from them of the fruit of the vineyard:
And at the season he sent forth a bondman to the farmers, so that he might receive by the farmers from the fruit of the vineyard.
3 and they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty.
And having seized him, they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him on the head, and sent him away shamefully used.
And again he sent another bondman to them. And that man, having stoned, they wounded in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 And again, he sent another; and him they killed: and many others, beating some, and killing others.
And again he sent another, and that man they killed, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one Son, his beloved, he sent him also at last unto them, saying, they will reverence my Son.
Therefore, still having his one beloved son, he also sent him to them, last, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son.
7 But the husbandmen said to one another, this is the heir, Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
But those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 And they took him, and killed Him too, casting him out of the vineyard.
And having taken him, they killed him, and cast him outside of the vineyard.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will let the vineyard to others.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 And have ye not read this scripture, "The stone, which the builders refused, is become the head of the corner:
And have ye not read this scripture: The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner.
11 this was from the Lord, and it is marvellous in our eyes."
This happened from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
12 And they sought to lay hands on Him, but they were afraid of the people; (for they knew that He spake the parable against them) and they left Him, and went away.
And they sought to seize him. And they feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And having left him, they went away.
13 And they send to Him some of the pharisees, and of the Herodians to insnare Him in his discourse:
And they send some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, so that they might catch him in talk.
14 and these, when they came, said to Him, Master, we know that thou art a man of truth, 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 pay tribute to Cesar, or not? should we give, or should we not give?
And when they came, they say to him, Teacher, we have seen that thou are true, and it is not a care to thee about any man, for thou look not to a personage of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to give tribute to Caesar or not?
15 But He knew their hypocrisy, and said to them, Why do ye tempt me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
Should we give, or should we not give? But Jesus, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do ye test me? Bring me a denarius, so that I may see it.
16 So they brought one: and He saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said Cesar's.
And they brought it. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Render then unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at Him.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they marveled at him.
18 Then come the sadducees to Him, who say there is no resurrection;
And Sadducees come to him, who say there is no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,
19 and they asked Him, saying, Master, Moses, in his writings tells us, if any one's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother dies, and leaves behind a wife, and leaves no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died and 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, and he left no seed neither; and the third likewise.
And the second took her, and died, neither did he leave seed behind, and the third likewise.
22 And all the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all died the woman also.
And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they rise again, whose wife shall be of them; for all the seven had her to wife?
In the resurrection when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Are ye not led astray because of this: not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents in the heavens.
26 But as to the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him in the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
But about the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, 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: therefore ye do greatly mistake.
He is not the God of the dead, but God of the living. Ye therefore are much misled.
28 And one of the scribes, who heard them disputing, seeing that He answered them well, came to Him and asked Him, Which is the chief commandment of all?
And one of the scholars having come, having heard them disputing, knowing that he had answered them well, he questioned him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is the one Lord,
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, thou 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 strength:" this is the first or chief commandment,
and thou shall love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
31 and the second is like it, even this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:" there is no other commandment greater than these.
And this second is similar, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto Him, Truly, Master, thou hast spoke exceeding well; for there is one God, and there is no other beside Him.
And the scholar said to him, Well, teacher. Thou spoke in truth that he is one, and there is no other but he.
33 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 neighbour as himself, is more than all whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
And to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And Jesus seeing that he answered discreetly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared any more to put questions to Him.
And when Jesus saw him, that he answered wisely, he said to him, Thou are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared to question him any more.
35 And Jesus spake and said, as He was teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say, that the Christ is the son of David?
And having responded as he taught in the temple, Jesus said, How do the scholars say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 for David himself said by the holy Spirit, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The Lord says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I may place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
37 So that David himself calleth Him Lord: how then is He his son? And many of the people heard Him with pleasure.
David himself therefore calls him Lord, and in what way is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.
38 And He said unto them as He was teaching them, Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and salutations in public-places,
And in his teaching he said to them, Look away from the scholars, those who desire to go about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
39 and the chief seats in the synagogues, and uppermost places at feasts;
and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
40 who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive the heavier judgement.
those who devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. These will receive greater condemnation.
41 And as Jesus was sitting over against the treasury, He saw how the people threw money into the treasury, and many of the rich put in much;
And having sat down opposite the treasury, Jesus watched how the multitude cast money into the treasury, and many rich men cast in much.
42 and there came a poor widow and put in two mites, that is, a farthing.
And one poor widow having come, she cast in two mites, which are a quadrans.
43 And He called his disciples to Him, and saith unto them, Verily I tell you, that this poor widow has given more than all those who have cast into the treasury.
And having summoned his disciples, he says to them, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury.
44 For they all have contributed out of their abundance: but she out of her penury hath given all that she had, even her whole living.
For they all cast in from that which is abundant to them, but she from her need cast in all, as many things she had, her whole living.
