Mark 12
1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A [certain] man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about [it], and digged [a place for] the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
And He began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge round it, and dug a wine-trough; and built a tower, and he gave it out to husbandmen, and went away.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard:
3 And they caught [him], and beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
and they taking him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away shamefully handled.
And again he sent to them another servant; and stoning him they wounded him in the head, and sent him away dishonored.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
And again he sent another; and they slew him, and many others beating some, killing others.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Then having still one son, his own beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying; That they will reverence my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
And those husbandmen said to one another; This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 And they took him, and killed [him], and cast [him] out of the vineyard.
And taking him they slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
What then shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others.
10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Have you not read the Scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner:
11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
this was with the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes?
12 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 went their way.
And they were seeking to arrest Him; and they feared the multitude; for they knew that He spoke the parable against them. And leaving Him they went away.
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.
And they send to Him certain ones of the Pharisees and Herodians, that they may catch Him with speech.
14 And when they were come, they say unto 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 Cæsar, or not?
And they having come, say to Him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and there is not a care to thee for any one: for thou dost not look into the face of men, but thou dost teach the way of God in truth: is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? must we give, or must we not give?
15 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].
And knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, Why tempt ye me? Bring to me the denarion, that I may see it.
16 And they brought [it]. And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.
And they brought it. And He says to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they say to Him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
And Jesus responding said to them, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's. And they were astonished at Him.
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
And the Sadducees come to Him, who say there is no resurrection; and asked Him, saying;
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave [his] wife [behind him], and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if the brother of any man may die, and leave a wife and have no children, that his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying 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, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
And the second received her and died, and he left no seed; and the third likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
And the seven received her and left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
Then in the resurrection, when they may rise, of which one of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her a wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
And Jesus responding, said to them; Therefore do you not err, 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 which are in heaven.
For when they may rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but they are as angels in the heavens.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
But concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses at the Bush, how God spoke to him saying; I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You do err much.
28 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?
And a certain one of the scribes, hearing them propounding questions, knowing that He answered them beautifully, asked Him, What 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 one Lord:
And Jesus responded to him, The first commandment of all; 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 strength: 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 [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
And the scribes said to Him, Truly, Teacher; thou hast spoken in truth that He is One; and there is no other besides Him.
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 love Him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to love thy neighbor as thyself is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 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.]
And Jesus seeing that he answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared to ask Him any more,
35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
And Jesus responding spoke, teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, the Lord said unto my Lord; Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet!
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
Then David himself calls Him Lord; and whence is He his son? And the great multitude were hearing Him delightfully.
38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and [love] salutations in the marketplaces,
And He said to them in His teaching, Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and salutations in the forums,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers.
40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
They are those devouring the houses of widows, and making long prayers through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.
41 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.
And He sitting in front of the treasury, was seeing how the multitudes are casting their money into the treasury. And many rich people were casting in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
And one poor widow was casting in two mites, which is a farthing.
43 And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
And calling His disciples to Him, He says to them, Truly I say unto you, That this poor widow has cast in more than all those casting into the treasury.
44 For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
For all they of that which abounds unto them cast in; but she of her scarcity cast in all things so many as she had, all her living.
