Mark 12
12And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country.G2532G756G3004G846G1722G3850G444G5452G290G2532G4060G5418G2532G3736G5276G2532G3618G4444G2532G1554G846G1554G1092G2532G5892When the season came, he sent a servant to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.G2532G2540G649G4314G1092G1401G2443G2983G3844G1092G575G2590G2903And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.G1161G2983G1194G846G2532G649G27564Again he sent to them another servant, and they struck him on the head and treated him shamefully.G2532G3825G649G4314G846G243G1401G2548G3036G2775G2532G649G8215And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed.G2532G3825G649G243G2548G615G2532G4183G243G3303G1194G1161G6156He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'G2192G2089G3767G1520G5207G846G27G649G846G2532G2078G4314G846G3004G3754G1788G3450G52077But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'G1161G1565G1092G2036G4314G1438G3754G3778G2076G2818G1205G615G846G2532G2817G2071G22578And they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.G2532G2983G846G615G2532G1544G1854G2909What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others.G5101G4160G3767G2962G290G4160G2064G2532G622G1092G2532G1325G290G24310Have you not read this Scripture: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;G314G3761G314G5026G1124G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G1519G2776G113711this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"G3778G1096G2962G1096G3844G2532G2076G2298G1722G2257G378812And they were seeking to arrest him but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they left him and went away.G2532G2212G2902G846G2532G5399G3793G1063G1097G3754G2036G3850G4314G846G2532G863G846G56513And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk.G2532G649G4314G846G5100G5330G2532G2265G2443G64G846G305614And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?"G1161G2064G3004G846G1320G1492G3754G1488G227G2532G4671G3756G3199G4012G3762G1063G991G3756G1519G4383G444G235G1321G3598G2316G1909G225G1832G1325G2778G2541G2228G375615But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."G1325G2228G3361G1325G1161G1492G846G5272G2036G846G5101G3985G3165G5342G3427G1220G2443G149216And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's."G1161G5342G2532G3004G846G5101G3778G1504G2532G1923G1161G2036G846G254117Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they marveled at him.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G591G2541G3588G2541G2532G2316G3588G2316G2532G2296G1909G84618And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying,G2532G2064G4314G846G4523G3748G3004G1511G3361G386G2532G1905G846G300419"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.G1320G3475G1125G2254G3754G1437G5100G80G599G2532G2641G1135G2532G863G3361G5043G2443G846G80G2983G846G1135G2532G1817G4690G846G8020There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring.G2258G2033G80G2532G4413G2983G1135G2532G599G863G3756G469021And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise.G2532G1208G2983G846G2532G599G2532G3761G863G846G4690G2532G5154G561522And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.G2532G2033G2983G846G2532G863G3756G4690G2078G3956G1135G599G253223In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."G1722G386G3767G3752G450G5101G1135G2071G846G1063G2033G2192G846G113524Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?G2532G2424G611G2036G846G4105G3756G1223G5124G4105G1492G3361G1124G3366G1411G231625For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.G1063G3752G450G1537G3498G3777G1060G3777G1061G235G1526G5613G32G3588G1722G377226And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?G1161G4012G3498G3754G1453G314G3756G314G1722G976G3475G5613G1909G942G2316G2036G846G3004G1473G2316G11G2532G2316G2464G2532G2316G238427He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong."G2076G3756G2316G3498G235G2316G2198G5210G3767G4105G4183G410528And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"G2532G1520G1122G4334G191G846G4802G1492G3754G611G846G2573G1905G846G4169G2076G4413G1785G395629Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.G1161G2424G611G846G3754G4413G3956G1785G191G2474G2962G2257G2316G2076G1520G296230And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'G2532G25G2962G4675G2316G1537G3650G4675G2588G2532G1537G3650G4675G5590G2532G1537G3650G4675G1271G2532G1537G3650G4675G2479G3778G4413G178531The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."G2532G1208G3664G3778G846G25G4675G4139G5613G4572G2076G3756G243G1785G3187G513032And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him.G2532G1122G2036G846G2573G1320G2036G1909G225G3754G2076G1520G2316G2532G2076G3756G243G4133G84633And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."G2532G25G846G1537G3650G2588G2532G1537G3650G4907G2532G1537G3650G5590G2532G1537G3650G2479G2532G25G4139G5613G1438G2076G4119G3956G3646G2532G237834And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.G2532G2424G1492G3754G846G611G3562G2036G846G1488G3756G3112G575G932G2316G2532G3762G3765G5111G1905G84635And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?G2532G2424G611G3004G1321G1722G2411G4459G3004G1122G3754G5547G2076G5207G113836David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.'G1063G1138G846G2036G1722G40G4151G2962G2036G3450G2962G2521G1537G3450G1188G2193G302G5087G4675G2190G4675G5286G422837David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?" And the great throng heard him gladly.G1138G3767G846G3004G846G2962G2532G4159G2076G846G5207G2532G4183G3793G191G846G223438And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplacesG2532G3004G846G1722G846G1322G991G575G1122G3588G2309G4043G1722G4749G2532G783G1722G5839and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,G2532G4410G1722G4864G2532G4411G1722G117340who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."G2719G5503G3614G2532G4392G4336G3117G4336G3778G2983G4055G291741And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums.G2532G2424G2523G2713G1049G2334G4459G3793G906G5475G1519G1049G2532G4183G4145G906G418342And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny.G2532G2064G3391G4434G5503G906G1417G3016G3603G283543And he called his disciples to him and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box.G2532G4341G846G3101G3004G846G281G3004G5213G3754G3778G4434G5503G906G4119G906G3956G906G1519G104944For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on."G1063G3956G906G1537G846G4052G1161G3778G846G1537G846G5304G906G3956G3745G2192G3650G846G979
