1And He began to
aspeak to them in
bparables: A man planted a
cvineyard and put a hedge around
it and dug a vat for a
dwinepress and built a tower; and he leased it out to
evinedressers and went
fabroad.
Mark 12
:2
12:2
And he sent a
aslave to the vinedressers at the
proper time so that from the vinedressers he might take of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark 12
:3
12:3
And they took him and
abeat him and sent
him away empty-handed.

12:4
And again he sent to them another slave; and that one they struck on the head and dishonored.
Mark 12
:5
12:5
And he sent another, and that one they
akilled; and
so with many others, beating some and killing others.
Mark 12
:6
12:6
He had yet one, a
abeloved son; he sent him to them last, saying, They will respect my son.
Mark 12
:7
12:7
But those vinedressers said to one another, This is the
aheir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!
Mark 12
:8
12:8
And they took
him and
akilled him and threw him
bout of the vineyard.
Mark 12
:9
12:9
What then will the
amaster of the vineyard do? He will come and
bdestroy the vinedressers and will give the vineyard to
1cothers.
Mark 12
:10
12:10
Have you not even read this Scripture,"The stone which the
abuilders rejected, this has become the head of the
1corner.
Mark 12
:11
12:11
This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes''?
Mark 12
:12
12:12
And they
asought to seize Him, yet they
bfeared the crowd, for they perceived that
it was with them in view
that He spoke the parable. And
cleaving Him, they went away.

By the Pharisees and Herodians

Mark 12
:13
12:13
1And they
asent to Him some of the
2Pharisees and
bHerodians that they might catch Him in
His cspeech.
Mark 12
:14
12:14
And they came and said to Him, Teacher, we know that You are true and
1do not fear anyone, for You do not regard the
2aperson of men, but teach the
bway of God in truth. Is it lawful to give
ctribute to
dCaesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?
Mark 12
:15
12:15
But He, knowing their
ahypocrisy, said to them, Why do you
btempt Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may look
at it.
Mark 12
:16
12:16
And they brought
one. And He said to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to Him, Caesar's.
Mark 12
:17
12:17
And Jesus said to them, The things that are Caesar's
arender to Caesar, and the
bthings that are God's
cto God. And they marveled greatly at Him.

By the Sadducees
12:18-27
Mark 12
:18
12:18
1And some
aSadducees came to Him, who say that there is
bno resurrection, and they
cquestioned Him, saying,
Mark 12
:19
12:19
Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if anyone's brother dies and leaves a
awife behind and leaves no child, his brother should take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.
Mark 12
:20
12:20
There were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and when he died, he left no seed;
Mark 12
:21
12:21
And the second took her and died, leaving behind no seed; and the third similarly;
Mark 12
:22
12:22
And the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
Mark 12
:23
12:23
In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her
as wife.
Mark 12
:24
12:24
Jesus said to them, Is it not because of this
that you err, that you do
anot know the Scriptures nor the
bpower of God?
Mark 12
:25
12:25
For when they
arise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in the heavens.
Mark 12
:26
12:26
But concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses,
in the section concerning the
abush, how God spoke to him, saying,"I am the
bGod of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob''?
Mark 12
:27
12:27
He is not the God of the dead, but of the
aliving. You err greatly.

By a scribe
12:28-34
Mark 12
:28
12:28
And 1one of the
2scribes approached and heard them
3disputing;
and perceiving that He answered them well, he
aquestioned Him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Mark 12
:29
12:29
Jesus answered, The first is:"Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is
aone Lord;
Mark 12
:30
12:30
And you shall
alove the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole
1strength.''
Mark 12
:31
12:31
The second is this:"You shall
alove your neighbor as yourself.'' There is no other commandment greater than
1these.
Mark 12
:32
12:32
And the scribe said to Him, Well
said, Teacher; in truth You have said that He is one and there is not another
abesides Him;
Mark 12
:33
12:33
And to love Him from the whole heart and from the whole understanding and from the whole strength and to love one's neighbor as himself is much more than all the burnt
aofferings and sacrifices.
Mark 12
:34
12:34
And Jesus, seeing that he answered intelligently, said to him, You are not far from the
akingdom of God. And no one
bdared to question Him anymore.

Muzzling all the mouths
12:35-37

:35
12:35
1And Jesus, while He was
2ateaching in the temple, answered and
bsaid, How
is it that the
3cscribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
Mark 12
:36
12:36
David himself said in the
aHoly Spirit,"The Lord said to my Lord,
bSit at My right hand until I put Your enemies
cunderneath Your feet.''
Mark 12
:37
12:37
David himself calls Him Lord, and how is He
ahis 1son? And the great crowd
bheard Him gladly.

Warning against the scribes
12:38-40

:38
12:38
And in His
ateaching He
bsaid, Beware of the
cscribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and
like greetings in the marketplaces
Mark 12
:39
12:39
And achief seats in the synagogues and
bplaces of honor at the dinners,
Mark 12
:40
12:40
Who adevour the widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive
bgreater 1judgment.

Praising the poor widow
12:41-44
Mark 12
:41
12:41
And He sat down opposite the
atreasury and
1bwatched how the crowd cast
2cmoney into the treasury. And many rich
people cast in much.
Mark 12
:42
12:42
And one
apoor widow came and cast in two lepta, which is a
1quadrans.
Mark 12
:43
12:43
And He called His disciples to
Him and said to them, Truly I say to you that this poor widow has cast in more than all those who were casting into the treasury,
Mark 12
:44
12:44
For they all cast in out of their surplus, but she, out of her lack, has cast in all that she had, her whole
aliving.
