Mark 12:13-37

131ThenG2532 they sentG649 someG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 and 2HerodiansG2265 to Him inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 3trapG64 Him in a statementG3056. 14They cameG2064 and saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You are truthfulG227 and 4do not careG3199 what anyoneG3762 thinks; for You 5are not partialG991G4383 to anyoneG444, but You teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225. Is it 6permissibleG1832 to payG1325 a 7poll-taxG2778 to CaesarG2541, orG2228 not? 15Are we to payG1325, orG2228 not payG1325?” But He, knowingG3609 their hypocrisyG5272, saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you testingG3985 Me? BringG5342 Me a 8denariusG1220 to lookG3708 at.” 16And they broughtG5342 one. And He saidG3004 to them, “WhoseG5101 imageG1504 and inscriptionG1923 is thisG3778?” And they saidG3004 to Him, “Caesar’sG2541.” 17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “9PayG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541, and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.” And they were utterlyG1569 amazedG1569 at Him.

1810Some SadduceesG4523 (whoG3748 sayG3004 that there is noG3361 resurrectionG386) cameG2064 to 11Jesus, and began questioningG1905 Him, sayingG3004, 19“TeacherG1320, MosesG3475 wroteG1125 for us that 12ifG1437 a man’sG5100 brotherG80 diesG599 and leavesG2641 behindG2641 a wifeG1135 and does not leaveG863 a childG5043, his brotherG80 is to 13marryG2983 the wifeG1135 and raiseG1817 upG1817 14childrenG4690 for his brotherG80. 20There were sevenG2033 brothersG80; and the firstG4413 tookG2983 a wifeG1135, and diedG599 leavingG863 noG3756 childrenG4690. 21The secondG1208 oneG1208 15marriedG2983 her, and diedG599 leavingG2641 behindG2641 noG3361 childrenG4690; and the thirdG5154 likewiseG5615; 22and so the sevenG2033 together leftG863 noG3756 childrenG4690. LastG2078 of allG3956 the womanG1135 alsoG2532 diedG599. 23In the resurrectionG386, whichG5101 one’sG846 wifeG1135 will she be? For each of the sevenG2033 had her as his wife.” 24JesusG2424 saidG5346 to them, “Is thisG3778 not the reasonG1223 you are mistakenG4105, that you do not 16understandG3609 the ScripturesG1124 norG3366 the powerG1411 of GodG2316? 25For whenG3752 they riseG450 from the deadG3498, they neitherG3777 marryG1060 norG3777 are givenG1061 inG1061 marriageG1061, but are likeG5613 angelsG32 in heavenG3772. 26But 17regardingG4012 theG3754 factG3754 thatG3754 the deadG3498 riseG1453, have you not readG314 in the bookG976 of MosesG3475, 18in the passage about the burning bushG942, howG4459 GodG2316 spokeG3004 to him, sayingG3004, ‘19I am the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, and the GodG2316 of JacobG2384’? 2720He is not the GodG2316 21of the deadG3498, but of the livingG2198; you are greatlyG4183 mistakenG4105.”

2822OneG1520 of the scribesG1122 cameG4334 upG4334 and heardG191 them arguingG4802, and 23recognizingG3708 that He had answeredG611 them wellG2573, askedG1905 Him, “WhatG4169 commandmentG1785 is the 24foremostG4413 of allG3956?” 29JesusG2424 answeredG611, “The 25foremostG4413 is, ‘26HearG191, IsraelG2474! The LordG2962 is our GodG2316, the LordG2962 is oneG1520; 3027and you shall loveG25 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 with allG3650 your heartG2588, and with allG3650 your soulG5590, and with allG3650 your mindG1271, and with allG3650 your strengthG2479.’ 31The secondG1208 is thisG3778: ‘28You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.’ There is noG3756 otherG243 commandmentG1785 greaterG3173 than theseG3778.” 32And the scribeG1122 saidG3004 to Him, “WellG2573 said, TeacherG1320; You have trulyG1909G225 statedG3004 that 29He is OneG1520, and there is noG3756 otherG243 besidesG4133 Him; 3330and to loveG25 Him with allG3650 the heartG2588, and with allG3650 the understandingG4907, and with allG3650 the strengthG2479, and to loveG25 one’s neighborG4139 as oneselfG1438, 31is muchG4053 moreG4053 than allG3956 the burntG3646 offeringsG3646 and sacrificesG2378.” 34When JesusG2424 sawG3708 that he had answeredG611 intelligentlyG3562, He saidG3004 to him, “You are not farG3112 from the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.” 32And then, noG3762 oneG3762 daredG5111 anyG3765 longerG3765 to questionG1905 Him.

3533And JesusG2424 respondedG611 and began sayingG3004, as He 34taughtG1321 in the templeG2413 area, “HowG4459 is it that the scribesG1122 sayG3004 that the 35ChristG5547 is the 36sonG5207 of DavidG1160? 36DavidG1160 himselfG846 saidG3004 37in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, ‘38The LordG2962 saidG3004 to my LordG2962, “SitG2521 at My rightG1188 handG1188, UntilG2193 I putG5087 Your enemiesG2190 underG5270 Your feetG4228.”’ 37DavidG1160 himselfG846 callsG3004 Him ‘LordG2962’; soG2532 in whatG4159 senseG4159 is He his sonG5207?” And 39the largeG4183 crowdG3793 40enjoyedG2234 listeningG191 to Him.
