Mark 12 And He begins to speak to them in parables: "A vineyard a man is planting, and he places about it a stone dike, and excavates a vat, and builds a tower, and leased it to farmers, and travels."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He begins to speak to them in parables: "A vineyard a man is planting, and he places about it a stone dike, and excavates a vat, and builds a tower, and leased it to farmers, and travels." ² And he dispatches to the farmers, at the season, a slave, that from the farmers he may be getting from the fruits of the vineyard." ³ And taking him, they lash him and dispatch him empty." ⁴ And again he dispatches to them another slave, and that one, pelting with stones, they hit his head and dispatch him in dishonor." ⁵ And again another he dispatches, and that one they kill, and many others, lashing these, indeed, yet killing those." ⁶ Still one had he, a son, his beloved. He dispatches him also, last, to them, saying that 'They will be respecting my son.'" ⁷ Yet those farmers say to themselves that 'This is the enjoyer of the allotment. Hither! We should be killing him, and the enjoyment of the allotment will be ours!'" ⁸ And, taking him, they kill him and cast him outside of the vineyard." ⁹ What, then, will the lord of the vineyard be doing? He will be coming and destroying the farmers and will be giving the vineyard to others." ¹⁰ Did you not yet read this scripture? - 'The stone which is rejected by the builders, This came to be for the head of the corner." ¹¹ From the Lord came this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'" ¹² And they sought to hold Him, and they were afraid of the throng, for they know that He spoke the parable to them. And, leaving Him, they came away." ¹³ And they are dispatching to Him some of the Pharisees and Herodians, that they should catch Him by a word." ¹⁴ And, coming, they are saying to Him, "Teacher, we are aware that you are true, and you are not caring about anyone, for you are not looking at the face of men, but, of a truth, the way of God are you teaching. Is it allowed to give poll tax to Caesar, or not? ¹⁵ May we be giving, or may we not be giving?Now He, having perceived their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you trying Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may be perceiving it." ¹⁶ Now they bring it. And He is saying to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?Now they say to Him, "Caesar's." ¹⁷ Now Jesus said to them, "Caesar's pay to Caesar, and God's to God.And they were astounded at Him." ¹⁸ And Sadducees are coming to Him, who say there is no resurrection. And they inquired of Him, saying, ¹⁹ Teacher, Moses writes to us that, if anyone's brother should be dying, and leaving a wife, and leaving no child, that his brother may be taking his wife and should be raising up seed to his brother." ²⁰ Seven brothers were there, and the first got a wife and, dying, leaves no seed." ²¹ And the second got her and died, leaving no seed, and the third similarly." ²² And the seven also got her similarly and leave no seed. Last of all the woman also died. ²³ In the resurrection, then, whenever they may be rising, of which of them will she be the wife? For the seven have had her as wife." ²⁴ Jesus averred to them, "Are you not therefore deceived, not being acquainted with the scriptures, nor yet the power of God? ²⁵ For whenever they may be rising from among the dead, they are neither marrying nor taking out in marriage, but are as the messengers in the heavens." ²⁶ Now concerning the dead, that they are being roused; did you not read in the scroll of Moses, at the thorn bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? ²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You, then, are much deceived." ²⁸ And, approaching, one of the scribes, hearing them discussing, having perceived that He answered them ideally, inquires of Him, "What is the foremost precept of all? ²⁹ Jesus answered him that "The foremost precept of all is: Hear, Israel! the Lord our God is one Lord." ³⁰ And, You shall be loving the Lord God out of your whole heart, and out of your whole soul, and out of your whole comprehension, and out of your whole strength. This is the foremost precept." ³¹ And the second is like it: 'You shall be loving your associate as yourself.' Now greater than these is no other precept." ³² And the scribe said to Him, "In truth, Teacher, Thou sayest ideally that He is One, and there is no other more than He." ³³ And to be loving Him out of your whole heart, and out of the whole understanding, and out of the whole soul, and out of the whole strength, and to be loving the associate as yourself, is excessively more than all the ascent approaches and the sacrifices." ³⁴ And Jesus, perceiving him, that he answered apprehendingly, said to him, "Not far are you from the kingdom of God.And no one dared to inquire of Him any longer." ³⁵ And answering, Jesus said, teaching in the sanctuary, "How are the scribes saying that the Christ is a Son of David? ³⁶ For he, David, said, in the holy spirit, 'Said the Lord to my Lord, "Sit at My right, Till I should be placing Thine enemies for a footstool for Thy feet."'" ³⁷ Then he, David, is terming Him 'Lord.' And whence is He his Son?And the vast throng hears Him with relish." ³⁸ And to them, in His teaching, He said, "Beware of the scribes, who want to walk in robes, and want salutations in the markets, ³⁹ and front seats in the synagogues, and first reclining places at the dinners, ⁴⁰ who are devouring the homes of widows, and for a pretense are prolix in praying. These will be getting more excessive judgment." ⁴¹ And Jesus, being seated facing the treasury, beheld how the throng is casting the coppers into the treasury. And many rich cast in much." ⁴² And one woman, a poor widow, coming, cast in two mites, which is a quadrans." ⁴³ And, calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that this poor widow casts in more than all who are casting into the treasury." ⁴⁴ For all cast out of their superfluity, yet she, out of her want, cast in all, as much as she had - her whole livelihood."
