Mark 12

1And he beganG757 to speakG2980 unto them in parablesG3850. A manG444 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and builtG3618 a towerG4444, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 2And at the seasonG2540 he sentG649 to the husbandmen a servantG1401, that he might receiveG2983 from the husbandmen of the fruitsG2590 of the vineyardG290. 3And they tookG2983 him, and beatG1194 him, and sentG649 him awayG649 emptyG2756. 4And againG3825 he sentG649 unto them another servantG1401; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully. 5And he sentG649 another; and him they killedG615: and manyG4183 othersG243; beatingG1194 some, and killingG615 some. 6He had yetG2089 oneG1520, a belovedG27 sonG5207: he sentG649 him lastG2078 unto them, sayingG3004, They will reverence my sonG5207. 7But those husbandmen saidG3004 among themselves, This isG1510 the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 him, and the inheritanceG2817 shall beG1510 ours. 8And they tookG2983 him, and killedG615 him, and castG1544 him forth out of the vineyardG290. 9What therefore will the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 do? he will comeG2064 and destroyG622 the husbandmen, and will giveG1325 the vineyardG290 unto othersG243. 10Have ye not readG314 evenG3761 this scriptureG1124:

12And they soughtG2212 to lay holdG2902 on him; and they fearedG5399 the multitudeG3793; for they perceived that he spake the parableG3850 against them: and they leftG863 him, and wentG565 awayG565.

13And they sendG649 unto him certainG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 and of the HerodiansG2265, that they might catch him in talkG3056. 14And when they wereG1510 comeG2064, they sayG3004 unto him, TeacherG1320, we know that thou art trueG227, and carest not for any oneG3762; for thou regardest not the person of menG444, but of a truthG225 teachest the wayG3598 of GodG2316: IsG1510 it lawfulG1832 to giveG1325 tribute unto Cæsar, or not? 15Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisyG5272, saidG3004 unto them, WhyG5101 make ye trial of me? bringG5342 me a denariusG1220, that I may seeG3708 it. 16And they broughtG5342 it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this imageG1504 and superscription? And they saidG3004 unto him, Cæsar’s. 17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, RenderG591 unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto GodG2316 the things that are God’s. And they marvelled greatly at him.

18And there comeG2064 unto him SadduceesG4523, who sayG3004 that there isG1510 no resurrectionG386; and they askedG1905 him, sayingG3004, 19TeacherG1320, MosesG3475 wroteG1125 unto us, If a man’s brotherG80 dieG599, and leaveG863 a wifeG1135 behind him, and leaveG863 no childG5043, that his brotherG80 should takeG2983 his wifeG1135, and raiseG1817 up seedG4690 unto his brotherG80. 20There wereG1510 sevenG2033 brethren: and the firstG4413 tookG2983 a wifeG1135, and dyingG599 leftG863 no seedG4690; 21and the secondG1208 tookG2983 her, and diedG599, leavingG2641 no seedG4690 behind him; and the thirdG5154 likewiseG5615: 22and the sevenG2033 leftG863 no seedG4690. LastG2078 of all the womanG1135 alsoG2532 diedG599. 23In the resurrectionG386 whose wifeG1135 shall she beG1510 of them? for the sevenG2033 had her to wifeG1135. 24JesusG2424 saidG5346 unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scripturesG1124, nor the powerG1411 of GodG2316? 25For whenG3752 they shall riseG450 from the deadG3498, they neither marryG1060, nor areG1510 given in marriage; but areG1510 as angelsG32 in heavenG3772. 26But as touching the deadG3498, that they are raisedG1453; have ye not readG314 in the bookG976 of MosesG3475, in the place concerningG4012 the BushG942, howG4459 GodG2316 spake unto him, sayingG3004, I am the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, and the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, and the GodG2316 of JacobG2384? 27He isG1510 not the GodG2316 of the deadG3498, but of the livingG2198: ye do greatly err.

28And oneG1520 of the scribesG1122 cameG4334, and heardG191 them questioningG1905 together, and knowing that he had answeredG611 them wellG2573, askedG1905 him, What commandmentG1785 isG1510 the firstG4413 of all? 29JesusG2424 answeredG611, The firstG4413 isG1510, HearG191, O IsraelG2474; The LordG2962 our GodG2316, the LordG2962 isG1510 oneG1520: 30and thou shalt loveG25 the LordG2962 thy GodG2316 with all thy heartG2588, and with all thy soulG5590, and with all thy mindG1271, and with all thy strengthG2479. 31The secondG1208 isG1510 this, Thou shalt loveG25 thy neighbor as thyself. There isG1510 none otherG243 commandmentG1785 greaterG3173 than these. 32And the scribeG1122 saidG3004 unto him, Of a truthG225, TeacherG1320, thou hast wellG2573 saidG3004 that he isG1510 oneG1520; and there isG1510 none otherG243 but he: 33and to loveG25 him with all the heartG2588, and with all the understandingG4907, and with all the strengthG2479, and to loveG25 his neighbor as himself, isG1510 much more than all wholeG3650 burnt-offerings and sacrificesG2378. 34And when JesusG2424 sawG3708 that he answeredG611 discreetly, he saidG3004 unto him, Thou art not farG3112 from the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. And no man after that durst askG1905 him any questionG1905.

35And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, as he taughtG1321 in the templeG2411, HowG4459 sayG3004 the scribesG1122 that the ChristG5547 isG1510 the sonG5207 of DavidG1138? 36DavidG1138 himself saidG3004 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151,

37DavidG1138 himself calleth him LordG2962; and whence isG1510 he his sonG5207? And the common peopleG3793 heardG191 him gladlyG2234.

38And in his teachingG1322 he saidG3004, BewareG991 of the scribesG1122, who desireG2309 to walkG4043 in long robesG4749, andto have salutations in the marketplaces, 39and chief seatsG4410 in the synagoguesG4864, and chief placesG4411 at feasts: 40they that devourG2719 widows’G5503 housesG3614, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receiveG2983 greater condemnationG2917.

41And he satG2523 downG2523 over against the treasuryG1049, and beheld howG4459 the multitudeG3793 castG906 moneyG5475 into the treasuryG1049: and manyG4183 that were richG4145 castG906 in muchG4183. 42And there cameG2064 a poorG4434 widowG5503, and she castG906 in twoG1417 mites, which make a farthing. 43And he called unto him his disciplesG3101, and saidG3004 unto them, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, This poorG4434 widowG5503 castG906 in moreG4183 than all they that are castingG906 into the treasuryG1049: 44for they all did castG906 in of their superfluity; but she of her want did castG906 in all that she had, even all her living.
