Mark 12
1 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.
And Jhesus bigan to speke to hem in parablis. A man plauntide a vynyerd, and sette an hegge aboute it, and dalf a lake, and bildide a toure, and hiryde it to tilieris, and wente forth in pilgrimage.
2 And he sent a bondman to the husbandmen at the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
And he sente to the erthe tilieris in tyme a seruaunt, to resseyue of the erthe tilieris of the fruyt of the vynyerd.
3 But they took him, and beat [him], and sent [him] away empty.
And thei token hym, and beeten, and leften hym voide.
4 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.
And eftsoone he sente to hem anothir seruaunt, and thei woundiden hym in the heed, and turmentiden hym.
5 And [again] he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
And eftsoone he sente another, and thei slowen hym, and othir mo, betynge summe, and sleynge othere.
6 Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.
But yit he hadde a moost derworth sone, and he sente hym last to hem, and seide, Perauenture thei schulen drede my sone.
7 But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours.
But the erthetilieris seiden togidere, This is the eire; come ye, sle we hym, and the eritage schal be ourun.
8 And they took him and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
And thei tokun hym, and killiden, and castiden out without the vynyerd.
9 What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
Thanne what schal the lord of the vynyerd do? He schal come, and lese the tilieris, and yyue the vynyerd to othere.
10 Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone:
Whether ye han not red this scripture, The stoon which the bilderis han disspisid, this is maad in to the heed of the corner?
11 this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
This thing is doon of the Lord, and is wondirful in oure iyen.
12 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.
And thei souyten to holde hym, and thei dredden the puple; for thei knewen that to hem he seide this parable; and thei leften hym,
13 And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in speaking.
and thei wenten awei. And thei senten to hym summe of the Farisees and Erodians, to take hym in word.
14 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?
Whiche camen, and seien to hym, Maistir, we witen that thou art sothfast, and reckist not of ony man; for nethir thou biholdist in to the face of man, but thou techist the weie of God in treuthe. Is it leeueful that tribute be youun to the emperoure, or we schulen not yyue?
15 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].
Which witynge her pryuei falsnesse, seide to hem, What tempten ye me? brynge ye to me a peny, that Y se.
16 And they brought [it]. And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
And thei brouyten to hym. And he seide to hem, Whos is this ymage, and the writyng? Thei seien to him, The emperouris.
17 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.
And Jhesus answeride and seide to hem, Thanne yelde ye to the emperour tho thingis that ben of the emperours; and to God tho thingis that ben of God.
18 And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying,
And thei wondriden of hym. And Saduces, that seien that ther is no ressurreccioun, camen to hym, and axeden hym,
19 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.
and seiden, Maister, Moyses wroot to vs, that if the brother of a man were deed, and lefte his wijf, and haue no sones, his brother take his wijf, and reise vp seed to his brother.
20 There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;
Thanne seuene britheren ther weren; and the firste took a wijf, and diede, and lefte no seed.
21 and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.
And the secounde took hir, and he diede, and nether this lefte seed.
22 And the seven [took her and] did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.
And the thridde also. And in lijk manere the seuene token hir, and leften not seed. And the womman the laste of alle `is deed.
23 In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?
Thanne in the resurreccioun, whanne thei schulen rise ayen, whos wijf of these schal sche be? for seuene hadden hir to wijf.
24 And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Whether ye erren not therfor, that ye knowe not scripturis, nethir the vertu of God?
25 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.
For whanne thei schulen rise ayen fro deeth, nether thei schulen wedde, nethir schulen be weddid, but thei schulen be as aungels of God in heuenes.
26 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?
And of deed men, that thei risen ayen, han ye not red in the book of Moises, on the buysch, hou God spak to hym, and seide, Y am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of [the] dead, but of [the] living. Ye therefore greatly err.
He is not God of deed men, but of lyuynge men; therfor ye erren myche.
28 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?
And oon of the scribis, that hadde herde hem dispuytynge togidir, cam nyy, and saiy that Jhesus had wel answeride hem, and axide hym, which was the firste maundement of alle.
29 And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord;
And Jhesus answeride to him, that the firste maundement of alle is, Here thou, Israel, thi Lord God is o God;
30 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.
and thou schalt loue thi Lord God of al thin herte, and of al thi soule, and of al thi mynde, and of al thi myyt.
31 And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.
This is the firste maundement. And the secounde is lijk to this, Thou schalt loue thi neiybore as thi silf. Ther is noon other maundement gretter than these.
32 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;
And the scribe seide to hym, Maister, in treuthe thou hast wel seid; for o God is, and ther is noon other, outakun hym;
33 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.
that he be loued of al the herte, and of al the mynde, and of al the vndurstondynge, and of al the soule, and of al strengthe, and to loue the neiybore as hym silf, is gretter than alle brent offryngis and sacrifices.
34 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.
And Jhesus seynge that he hadde answerid wiseli, seide to hym, Thou art not fer fro the kyngdom of God.
35 And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
And thanne no man durste axe hym no more ony thing. And Jhesus answeride and seide, techynge in the temple, Hou seien scribis, that Crist is the sone of Dauid?
36 [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.
For Dauid hym silf seide in the Hooli Goost, the Lord seide to my lord, Sitte on my riythalf, til Y putte thin enemyes the stool of thi feet.
37 David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.
Thanne Dauid hym silf clepith him lord, hou thanne is he his sone? And myche puple gladli herde hym.
38 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,
And he seide to hem in his techyng, Be ye war of scribis, that wolen wandre in stolis,
39 and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
and be salutid in chepyng, and sitte in synagogis in the firste chaieris, and the firste sittyng placis in soperis;
40 who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
whiche deuouren the housis of widewis vndur colour of long preier; thei schulen take the longer doom.
41 And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much.
And Jhesus sittynge ayens the tresorie, bihelde hou the puple castide monei in to the tresorie; and many riche men castiden many thingis.
42 And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
But whanne a pore widewe was comun, sche keste two mynutis, that is, a ferthing.
43 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:
And he clepide togidere hise disciplis, and seide to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, that this pore widewe keste more thanne alle, that kesten in to the tresorie.
44 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.
For alle kesten of that thing that thei hadden plente of; but this of her pouert keste alle thingis that sche hadde, al hir lyuelode.
