1 And he began G757 to speak λαλεῖν· lalein G2980 unto them in parables G3850 . A man ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos G444 planted ἐφύτευσεν ephuteusen G5452 a vineyard ἀμπελῶνα ampelōna G290 , and set a hedge about it , and digged a pit for the winepress, and built G3618 a tower πύργον purgon G4444 , and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 2 And at the season G2540 he sent G649 to the husbandmen a servant δοῦλον doulon G1401 , that he might receive λάβῃ labē G2983 from the husbandmen of the fruits καρπῶν karpōn G2590 of the vineyard ἀμπελῶνος. ampelōnos G290 . 4 And again πάλιν palin G3825 he sent G649 unto them another servant δοῦλον· doulon G1401 ; and him they wounded in the head , and handled shamefully . 5 And he sent G649 another ; and him they killed ἀπέκτειναν, apekteinan G615 : and many πολλοὺς pollous G4183 others G243 ; beating δέροντες, derontes G1194 some , and killing ἀποκτέννοντες. apoktennontes G615 some . 7 But those husbandmen said G3004 among themselves , This is G1510 the heir κληρονόμος· klēronomos G2818 ; come δεῦτε deute G1205 , let us kill ἀποκτείνωμεν apokteinōmen G615 him , and the inheritance κληρονομία. klēronomia G2817 shall be G1510 ours . 8 And they took G2983 him , and killed ἀπέκτειναν apekteinan G615 him , and cast ἐξέβαλον exebalon G1544 him forth out of the vineyard ἀμπελῶνος. ampelōnos G290 . 9 What therefore will the lord G2962 of the vineyard ἀμπελῶνος; ampelōnos G290 do ? he will come ἐλεύσεται eleusetai G2064 and destroy ἀπολέσει apolesei G622 the husbandmen, and will give δώσει dōsei G1325 the vineyard ἀμπελῶνα ampelōna G290 unto others ἄλλοις. allois G243 . 10 Have ye not read ἀνέγνωτε· anegnōte G314 even οὐδὲ oude G3761 this scripture γραφὴν graphēn G1124 : The stone λίθον lithon G3037 which the builders rejected ἀπεδοκίμασαν apedokimasan G593 , The same was made the head G2776 of the corner γωνίας· gōnias G1137 ; 12 And they sought ἐζήτουν ezētoun G2212 to lay hold κρατῆσαι kratēsai G2902 on him ; and they feared ἐφοβήθησαν ephobēthēsan G5399 the multitude G3793 ; for they perceived that he spake the parable παραβολὴν parabolēn G3850 against them : and they left G863 him , and went G565 away ἀπῆλθον.¶ apēlthon G565 . 13 And they send ἀποστέλλουσιν apostellousin G649 unto him certain G5100 of the Pharisees Φαρισαίων Pharisaiōn G5330 and of the Herodians Ἡρῳδιανῶν Hērōdianōn G2265 , that they might catch him in talk G3056 . 14 And when they were G1510 come ἐλθόντες elthontes G2064 , they say λέγουσιν legousin G3004 unto him , Teacher διδάσκαλε, didaskale G1320 , we know that thou art true ἀληθὴς alēthēs G227 , and carest not for any one οὐδενός· oudenos G3762 ; for thou regardest not the person of men G444 , but of a truth ἀληθείας alētheias G225 teachest the way ὁδὸν hodon G3598 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 : Is G1510 it lawful ἔξεστιν exestin G1832 to give G1325 tribute unto Cæsar, or not ? 15 Shall we give , or shall we not give ? But he , knowing their hypocrisy ὑπόκρισιν hupokrisin G5272 , said G3004 unto them , Why τί ti G5101 make ye trial of me ? bring φέρετέ pherete G5342 me a denarius δηνάριον dēnarion G1220 , that I may see G3708 it . 16 And they brought G5342 it . And he saith unto them , Whose is this image G1504 and superscription? And they said λέγει legei G3004 unto him , Cæsar’s. 17 And Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 said G3004 unto them , Render G591 unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God G2316 the things that are God’s . And they marvelled greatly at him . Read all of Mark 12 ← Mark 11 Mark 13 → American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
