Marcum 12
1 Et cœpit illis in parabolis loqui: Vineam pastinavit homo, et circumdedit sepem, et fodit lacum, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
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 Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineæ.
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 Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum.
And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum: et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt.
And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.
5 Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt: et plures alios: quosdam cædentes, alios vero occidentes.
And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum, et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens: Quia reverebuntur filium meum.
He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem: Hic est hæres: venite, occidamus eum: et nostra erit hæreditas.
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt: et ejecerunt extra vineam.
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
9 Quid ergo faciet dominus vineæ? Veniet, et perdet colonos, et dabit vineam aliis.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 Nec scripturam hanc legistis: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli:
Have ye not read even this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner:
11 a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?
This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
12 Et quærebant eum tenere: et timuerunt turbam: cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit. Et relicto eo abierunt.
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 Et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex pharisæis, et herodianis, ut eum caperent in verbo.
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.
14 Qui venientes dicunt ei: Magister, scimus quia verax es, et non curas quemquam: nec enim vides in faciem hominum, sed in veritate viam Dei doces. Licet dari tributum Cæsari, an non dabimus?
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 Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illos: Quid me tentatis? afferte mihi denarium ut videam.
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 At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis: Cujus est imago hæc, et inscriptio? Dicunt ei: Cæsaris.
And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s.
17 Respondens autem Jesus dixit illis: Reddite igitur quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo.
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 Et venerunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse: et interrogabant eum, dicentes:
And there come unto him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Magister, Moyses nobis scripsit, ut si cujus frater mortuus fuerit, et dimiserit uxorem, et filios non reliquerit, accipiat frater ejus uxorem ipsius, et resuscitet semen fratri suo.
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 Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine.
There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;
21 Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est: et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter.
and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:
22 Et acceperunt eam similiter septem: et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier.
and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cujus de his erit uxor? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem.
In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 Et respondens Jesus, ait illis: Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei?
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 Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed sunt sicut angeli in cælis.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.
26 De mortuis autem quod resurgant, non legistis in libro Moysi, super rubum, quomodo dixerit illi Deus, inquiens: Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus 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 Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis.
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err.
28 Et accessit unus de scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum.
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 Jesus autem respondit ei: Quia primum omnium mandatum est: Audi Israël, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est:
Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:
30 et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex tota corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota mente tua, et ex tota virtute tua. Hoc est primum mandatum.
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 Secundum autem simile est illi: Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Majus horum aliud mandatum non est.
The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 Et ait illi scriba: Bene, Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius præter eum.
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 Et ut diligatur ex toto corde, et ex toto intellectu, et ex tota anima, et ex tota fortitudine, et diligere proximum tamquam seipsum, majus est omnibus holocautomatibus, et sacrificiis.
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 Jesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi: Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo jam audebat eum interrogare.
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 Et respondens Jesus dicebat, docens in templo: Quomodo dicunt scribæ Christum filium esse 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 Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto: Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
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 Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius ejus? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit.
David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua: Cavete a scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro,
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 et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in cœnis:
and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
40 qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixæ orationis: hi accipient prolixius judicium.
they which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.
41 Et sedens Jesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba jactaret æs in gazophylacium, et multi divites jactabant multa.
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 Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans,
And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis: Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua hæc pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium.
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 Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt: hæc vero de penuria sua omnia quæ habuit misit totum victum suum.
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.
