Mark 12
1 He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
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.
2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineæ.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum: et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt.
5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt: et plures alios: quosdam cædentes, alios vero occidentes.
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum, et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens: Quia reverebuntur filium meum.
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem: Hic est hæres: venite, occidamus eum: et nostra erit hæreditas.
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt: et ejecerunt extra vineam.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
Quid ergo faciet dominus vineæ? Veniet, et perdet colonos, et dabit vineam aliis.
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
Nec scripturam hanc legistis: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli:
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?
12 They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
Et quærebant eum tenere: et timuerunt turbam: cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit. Et relicto eo abierunt.
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
Et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex pharisæis, et herodianis, ut eum caperent in verbo.
14 When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
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?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illos: Quid me tentatis? afferte mihi denarium ut videam.
16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis: Cujus est imago hæc, et inscriptio? Dicunt ei: Cæsaris.
17 Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
Respondens autem Jesus dixit illis: Reddite igitur quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo.
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
Et venerunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse: et interrogabant eum, dicentes:
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
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.
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine.
21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est: et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter.
22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
Et acceperunt eam similiter septem: et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cujus de his erit uxor? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem.
24 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
Et respondens Jesus, ait illis: Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei?
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed sunt sicut angeli in cælis.
26 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
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?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis.
28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
Et accessit unus de scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum.
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Jesus autem respondit ei: Quia primum omnium mandatum est: Audi Israël, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est:
30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
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.
31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Secundum autem simile est illi: Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Majus horum aliud mandatum non est.
32 The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
Et ait illi scriba: Bene, Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius præter eum.
33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
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.
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
Jesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi: Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo jam audebat eum interrogare.
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
Et respondens Jesus dicebat, docens in templo: Quomodo dicunt scribæ Christum filium esse David?
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto: Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius ejus? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit.
38 In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua: Cavete a scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro,
39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in cœnis:
40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixæ orationis: hi accipient prolixius judicium.
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
Et sedens Jesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba jactaret æs in gazophylacium, et multi divites jactabant multa.
42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans,
43 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis: Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua hæc pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium.
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt: hæc vero de penuria sua omnia quæ habuit misit totum victum suum.
