Mark 12
1AndG2532 he beganG756 to speakG3004 unto themG846 byG1722 parablesG3850. A certain manG444 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 setG4060 an hedge aboutG5418 it, andG2532 diggedG3736 a place for the winefatG5276, andG2532 builtG3618 a towerG4444, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 outG1554 to husbandmenG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589. 2AndG2532 at the seasonG3588G2540 he sentG649 toG4314 the husbandmenG3588G1092 a servantG1401, thatG2443 he might receiveG2983 fromG3844 the husbandmenG3588G1092 ofG575 the fruitG3588G2590 of the vineyardG3588G290. 3AndG1161 they caughtG2983 him, andG2532 beatG1194 himG846, and sentG649 him awayG649 emptyG2756. 4AndG2532 againG3825 he sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 anotherG243 servantG1401; and at himG2548 they cast stonesG3036, and woundedG2775 him in the headG2775, andG2532 sentG649 him awayG649 shamefully handledG821. 5AndG2532 againG3825 he sentG649 anotherG243; and himG2548 they killedG615, andG2532 manyG4183 othersG243; beatingG1194 someG3588, andG1161 killingG615 someG3588. 6HavingG2192 yetG2089 thereforeG3767 oneG1520 sonG5207, hisG846 wellbelovedG27, he sentG649 himG846 alsoG2532 lastG2078 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, They will reverenceG1788 myG1473 sonG3588G5207. 7ButG1161 thoseG1565 husbandmenG3588G1092 saidG3004 amongG4314 themselvesG1438, ThisG3778 isG1510 the heirG3588G2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 the inheritanceG3588G2817 shall beG1510 oursG1473. 8AndG2532 they tookG2983 himG846, and killedG615 him, andG2532 castG1544 him out ofG1854 the vineyardG3588G290. 9WhatG5101 shallG3588G2962 thereforeG3767 the lordG3588G2962 of the vineyardG3588G290 doG4160? he will comeG2064 andG2532 destroyG622 the husbandmenG3588G1092, andG2532 will giveG1325 the vineyardG3588G290 unto othersG243. 10And have yeG314 notG3761 readG314 thisG3778 scriptureG3588G1124; The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593 isG3778 becomeG1096 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137: 11ThisG3778 wasG3844 the Lord’sG2962 doingG1096, andG2532 it isG1510 marvellousG2298 inG1722 ourG1473 eyesG3788? 12AndG2532 they soughtG2212 to lay holdG2902 on himG846, butG2532 fearedG5399 the peopleG3588G3793: forG1063 they knewG1097 thatG3754 he had spokenG3004 the parableG3588G3850 againstG4314 themG846: and they leftG863 himG846, andG2532 went their wayG565.
13AndG2532 they sendG649 untoG4314 himG846 certainG5100 of the PhariseesG3588G5330 andG2532 of the HerodiansG3588G2265, toG2443 catchG64 himG846 inG3056 his wordsG3056. 14And whenG1161 they were comeG3588G2064, they sayG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou artG1510 trueG227, andG2532 carestG3199 forG4012 no manG3762: forG1063 thou regardestG991 notG3756 the personG4383 of menG444, butG235 teachestG1321 the wayG3588G3598 of GodG3588G2316 inG1909 truthG225: Is it lawfulG1832 to giveG1325 tributeG2778 to CæsarG2541, orG2228 notG3756? 15Shall we giveG1325, orG2228 shall weG1325 notG3361 giveG1325? ButG1161 heG3588, knowingG1492 theirG846 hypocrisyG3588G5272, saidG3004 unto themG846, WhyG5101 tempt yeG3985 meG1473? bringG5342 meG1473 a pennyG1220, thatG2443 I may seeG3708 it. 16AndG1161 they broughtG5342 it. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto themG846, WhoseG5101 is thisG3778 imageG3588G1504 andG2532 superscriptionG3588G1923? AndG1161 they saidG3004 unto himG846, Cæsar’sG2541. 17AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 unto themG846, RenderG591 to CæsarG2541 the things that areG3588 Cæsar’sG2541, andG2532 to GodG3588G2316 the things that areG3588 God’sG3588G2316. AndG2532 they marvelledG2296 atG1909 himG846.
18ThenG2532 comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846 the SadduceesG4523, whichG3748 sayG3004 there isG1510 noG3361 resurrectionG386; andG2532 they askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, 19MasterG1320, MosesG3475 wroteG1125 unto usG1473, IfG1437 a man’sG5100 brotherG80 dieG599, andG2532 leaveG2641 his wifeG1135 behind him, andG2532 leaveG863 noG3361 childrenG5043, thatG2443 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 should takeG2983 hisG846 wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 raise upG1817 seedG4690 unto hisG846 brotherG3588G80. 20Now there wereG1510 sevenG2033 brethrenG80: andG2532 the firstG4413 tookG2983 a wifeG1135, andG2532 dyingG599 leftG863 noG3756 seedG4690. 21AndG2532 the secondG1208 tookG2983 herG846, andG2532 diedG599, neitherG3761 leftG863 heG846 any seedG4690: andG2532 the thirdG5154 likewiseG5615. 22AndG2532 the sevenG2033 hadG2983 herG846, andG2532 leftG863 noG3756 seedG4690: lastG2078 of allG3956 the womanG3588G1135 diedG599 alsoG2532. 23InG1722 the resurrectionG386 thereforeG3767, whenG3752 they shall riseG450, whoseG5101 wifeG1135 shall she beG1510 of themG846? forG1063 the sevenG2033 hadG2192 herG846 to wifeG1135. 24AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 unto themG846, Do yeG4105 notG3756 thereforeG3778 errG4105, becauseG1223 ye knowG1492 notG3361 the scripturesG3588G1124, neitherG3366 the powerG3588G1411 of GodG3588G2316? 25ForG1063 whenG3752 they shall riseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, theyG1060 neitherG3777 marryG1060, norG3777 are given in marriageG1061; butG235 areG1510 asG5613 the angelsG32 which areG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772. 26AndG1161 as touchingG4012 the deadG3498, thatG3754 they riseG1453: have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 inG1722 the bookG3588G976 of MosesG3475, howG5613 inG1909 the bushG942 GodG3588G2316 spakeG3004 unto himG846, sayingG3004, IG1473 am the GodG3588G2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 the GodG3588G2316 of JacobG2384? 27He isG1510 notG3756 the GodG3588G2316 of the deadG3498, butG235 the GodG2316 of the livingG2198: yeG4771 thereforeG3767 doG4105 greatlyG4183 errG4105.
28AndG2532 oneG1520 of the scribesG3588G1122 cameG4334, and having heardG191 themG846 reasoning togetherG4802, and perceivingG1492 thatG3754 he had answeredG611 themG846 wellG2573, askedG1905 himG846, WhichG4169 isG1510 the firstG4413 commandmentG1785 of allG3956? 29AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 himG846, The firstG4413 of allG3956 the commandmentsG3588G1785 is, HearG191, O IsraelG2474; The LordG2962 ourG1473 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 oneG1520 LordG2962: 30AndG2532 thou shalt loveG25 the LordG2962 thyG4771 GodG3588G2316 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4771 heartG3588G2588, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4771 soulG3588G5590, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4771 mindG3588G1271, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4771 strengthG3588G2479: thisG3778 is the firstG4413 commandmentG1785. 31AndG2532 the secondG1208 is likeG3664, namely thisG3778, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4771 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572. There isG1510 noneG3756 otherG243 commandmentG1785 greaterG3173 than theseG3778. 32AndG2532 the scribeG3588G1122 saidG3004 unto himG846, WellG2573, MasterG1320, thou hast saidG3004 the truthG225: forG3754 there isG1510 oneG1520 GodG2316; andG2532 there isG1510 noneG3756 otherG243 butG4133 heG846: 33AndG2532 to loveG25 himG846 withG1537 allG3650 the heartG3588G2588, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 the understandingG3588G4907, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 the soulG3588G5590, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 the strengthG3588G2479, andG2532 to loveG25 his neighbourG4139 asG5613 himselfG1438, isG1510 moreG4119 than allG3956 whole burnt offeringsG3588G3646 andG2532 sacrificesG3588G2378. 34AndG2532 when JesusG3588G2424 sawG3708 thatG3754 he answeredG611 discreetlyG3562, he saidG3004 unto himG846, Thou artG1510 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316. AndG2532 no manG3762 after thatG3765 durstG5111 askG1905 himG846 any question.
35AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, while he taughtG1321 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, HowG4459 sayG3004 the scribesG3588G1122 thatG3754 ChristG3588G5547 isG1510 the SonG5207 of DavidG1138? 36ForG1063 DavidG1138 himselfG846 saidG3004 byG1722 the HolyG3588G40 GhostG3588G4151, The LordG3588G2962 saidG3004 to myG1473 LordG3588G2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, tillG2193G302 I makeG5087 thineG4771 enemiesG3588G2190 thyG4771 footstoolG5286G3588G4228. 37DavidG1138 thereforeG3767 himselfG846 callethG3004 himG846 LordG2962; andG2532 whenceG4159 is heG1510 then hisG846 sonG5207? AndG2532 the commonG4183 peopleG3793 heardG191 himG846 gladlyG2234.
38AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846 inG1722 hisG846 doctrineG3588G1322, BewareG991 ofG575 the scribesG3588G1122, whichG3588 loveG2309 to goG4043 inG1722 long clothingG4749, andG2532 love salutationsG783 inG1722 the marketplacesG3588G58, 39AndG2532 the chief seatsG4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864, andG2532 the uppermost roomsG4411 atG1722 feastsG3588G1173: 40WhichG3588 devourG2719 widows’G3588G5503 housesG3588G3614, andG2532 for a pretenceG4392 makeG4336 longG3117 prayersG4336: theseG3778 shall receiveG2983 greaterG4053 damnationG2917.
41AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 satG2523 over againstG2713 the treasuryG3588G1049, and beheldG2334 howG4459 the peopleG3588G3793 castG906 moneyG5475 intoG1519 the treasuryG3588G1049: andG2532 manyG4183 that were richG4145 castG906 in muchG4183. 42AndG2532 there cameG2064 a certainG1520 poorG4434 widowG5503, and she threw inG906 twoG1417 mitesG3016, whichG3739 makeG1510 a farthingG2835. 43AndG2532 he calledG4341 unto him hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, and saithG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 thisG3778 poorG4434 widowG3588G5503 hath castG906 moreG4119 inG906, than allG3956 they whichG3588 have castG906 intoG1519 the treasuryG3588G1049: 44ForG1063 allG3956 they did cast inG906 ofG1537 theirG846 abundanceG3588G4052; butG1161 sheG3778 ofG1537 herG846 wantG3588G5304 did cast inG906 allG3956 thatG3745 she hadG2192, even allG3650 herG846 livingG3588G979.
