Mark 12
1 And he began to be speaking unto them, in parables, —A man planted, a vineyard, and put round it a wall, and digged a wine-vat, and built a tower, —and let it out to husbandmen; and left home.
And he began to speak to them by parables. A [certain] man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about [it], and digged [a place for] the wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2 And he sent forth, unto the husbandmen, in the season, a servant, that, from the husbandmen, he might receive of the fruits of the vineyard;
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 and, taking him, they beat him, and sent him away, empty.
And they caught [him], and beat him and sent [him] away empty.
4 And, again, sent he forth unto them, another servant; and, him, they smote on the head, and dishonoured.
And again, he sent to them another servant: and at him they cast stones, and wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away shamefully handled.
5 And another sent he forth; and, him, they slew. And many others; some, indeed beating, and, others, slaying.
And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Yet one, had he, a son beloved: he sent him forth last unto them, saying—They will pay deference unto my son!
Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 But, those husbandmen, unto themselves, said—This, is the heir: Come! let us slay him, and, ours, shall be, the inheritance.
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 And, taking, they slew him, and cast him forth outside the vineyard.
And they took him, and killed [him], and cast [him] out of the vineyard.
9 What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come, and destroy the husbandmen, and let the vineyard unto others.
What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Have ye not, this scripture, read—A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become head of the corner!
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11 From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes?
This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
12 And they were seeking, to secure, him, —and were in fear of the multitude; for they perceived that, against them, the parable he had spoken. And, leaving him, they departed.
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 departed.
13 And they send forth unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might, catch, him, in discourse.
And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.
14 And, coming, they say unto him—Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men; but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach: —Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?
And when they had come, they say to 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 Cesar, or not?
15 But, he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them—Why are ye, tempting, me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see [it].
16 And, they, brought one. And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image, and the inscription? And, they, said unto him—Caesar’s.
And they brought [it]: and he saith to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Cesar's.
17 And, Jesus, said—the things of Caesar, render, unto Caesar, and, the things of God, unto God. And they were marvelling at him.
And Jesus answering, said to them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they wondered at him.
18 And there come Sadducees unto him, —who, indeed say—Resurrection, there is none! and they were questioning him, saying—
Then come to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, that—If one’s brother die, and leave behind a wife, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother shall die, and leave [his] wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
20 Seven brethren, there were: and, the first, took a wife, and, dying, left no seed, —
Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And, the second, took her, and died, not leaving behind seed, —and, the third, likewise, —
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22 And, the seven, left no seed; last of all, the woman also, died: —
And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection, —of, which, of them shall she be, wife? For, the seven, had her to wife.
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her for a wife.
24 Jesus said unto them—Are ye not, for this cause, deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
And Jesus answering, said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For, when, from among the dead, they rise, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like messengers in the heavens.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven.
26 But, as touching the dead, that they, do rise, —Have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying—I [am] the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob: —
And concerning the dead that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not a God of, dead, men, but of, living. Greatly, are ye deceiving yourselves.
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
28 And one of the Scribes, coming near, hearing them discussing, seeing that, well, he had answered them, began to question him—Which is the chief commandment of all?
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?
29 Jesus answered—The chief is: Hear! O Israel, —The Lord our God, is, one Lord;
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.
30 Therefore shalt thou love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, —and with all thy mind; and with all thy strength.
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 The second, is, this—Thou shalt love, thy neighbour, as thyself. Greater than these, other commandment, is there none.
And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: there is no other commandment greater than these.
32 The Scribe said unto him—Well, Teacher! in truth, hast thou said—He is, One, and there is none other, than he;
And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; 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 might; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
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] neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 And, Jesus, seeing him, that, with intelligence he answered, said unto him—Not far, [art thou] from the kingdom of God! And, no one, any longer, was daring to, question, him.
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple—How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David?
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
36 David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, —The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet.
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
37 David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own son? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly.
David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he [then] his son? and the common people heard him gladly.
38 And, in his teaching, he was saying—Beware of the Scribes, who desire, in robes, to be walking about, and salutations in the markets,
And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and [love] salutations in the market-places,
39 And first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Who devour widows’ houses, and, for a pretence, are long in prayer: these, shall receive a more surpassing judgment.
Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41 And, taking his seat over against the treasury, he was observing how, the multitude, was casting in copper into the treasury, and, man rich, were casting in, much.
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.
42 And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And, calling near his disciples, he said to them—Verily, I say unto you, this destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in, of those casting into the treasury;
And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more, than all they who have cast into the treasury.
44 For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in, —the whole of her living.
For all [they] cast in of their abundance: but she of her want cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
