Mark 12:1-17

11And He beganG757 to speakG2980 to them in parablesG3850: “2A manG444 3plantedG5452 a vineyardG290 and putG4060 a 4wallG5418 aroundG4060 it, and dugG3736 a vatG5276 underG5276 the wineG5276 pressG5276 and builtG3618 a towerG4444, and rentedG1554 it out to 5vine-growersG1092 and wentG589 on a journeyG589. 2At the harvest timeG2540 he sentG649 a slaveG1401 to the vine-growersG1092, in orderG2443 to receiveG2983 some of the produceG2590 of the vineyardG290 from the vine-growersG1092. 3They tookG2983 him, and beatG1194 him and sentG649 him awayG649 empty-handedG2756. 4AgainG3825 he sentG649 them anotherG243 slaveG1401, and they woundedG2775 him in the headG2775, and treatedG718 him shamefullyG818. 5And he sentG649 anotherG243, and that oneG2548 they killedG615; and so with manyG4183 othersG243, beatingG1194 someG3739G3303 and killingG615 othersG3739G1161. 6He hadG2192 oneG1520 moreG2089 to send, a belovedG27 sonG5207; he sentG649 him lastG2078 of all to them, sayingG3004, ‘They will respectG1788 my sonG5207.’ 7But thoseG1565 vine-growersG1092 saidG3004 to oneG1438 anotherG1438, ‘ThisG3778 is the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 him, and the inheritanceG2817 will be oursG1473!’ 8They tookG2983 him, and killedG615 him and threwG1544 him out of the vineyardG290. 9WhatG5101 will the 6ownerG2962 of the vineyardG290 doG4160? He will comeG2064 and destroyG622 the vine-growersG1092, and will giveG1325 the vineyardG290 to othersG243. 10Have you not evenG3761 readG314 thisG3778 ScriptureG1124: ‘7The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, ThisG3778 becameG1096 the chiefG2776 cornerG1137 stone;118ThisG3778 cameG1096 about from the LordG2962, And it is marvelousG2298 in our eyesG3788’?”

129And they were seekingG2212 to seizeG2902 Him, and yet they fearedG5399 the 10peopleG3793, for they understoodG1097 that He spokeG3004 the parableG3850 againstG4314 them. And so 11they leftG863 Him and wentG565 awayG565.

1312ThenG2532 they sentG649 someG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 and 13HerodiansG2265 to Him in orderG2443 to 14trapG64 Him in a statementG3056. 14They cameG2064 and saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You are truthfulG227 and 15deferG3199 to noG3762 oneG3762; for You are not partialG991G4383 to anyG444, but teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225. Is it 16lawfulG1832 to payG1325 a poll-taxG2778 to CaesarG2541, orG2228 not? 15Shall we payG1325 orG2228 shall we not payG1325?” But He, knowingG3609 their hypocrisyG5272, saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you testingG3985 Me? BringG5342 Me a 17denariusG1220 to lookG3708 at.” 16They broughtG5342 one. And He saidG3004 to them, “WhoseG5101 likenessG1504 and inscriptionG1923 is thisG3778?” And they saidG3004 to Him, “Caesar’sG2541.” 17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “18RenderG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541, and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.” And they 19were amazedG1569 at Him.
