Mark - Chapter 12 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. And he began to speak unto them by parables. A {cf15I certain} man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about {cf15I it}, and digged {cf15I a place for} the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
  • 2. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
  • 3. And they caught {cf15I him}, and beat him, and sent {cf15I him} away empty.
  • 4. And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded {cf15I him} in the head, and sent {cf15I him} away shamefully handled.
  • 5. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
  • 6. Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
  • 7. But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
  • 8. And they took him, and killed {cf15I him}, and cast {cf15I him} out of the vineyard.
  • 9. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
  • 10. And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
  • 11. This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
  • 12. And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
  • 13. And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in {cf15I his} words.
  • 14. And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
  • 15. Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see {cf15I it}.
  • 16. And they brought {cf15I it}. And he saith unto them, Whose {cf15I is} this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
  • 17. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
  • 18. Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
  • 19. Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave {cf15I his} wife {cf15I behind him}, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
  • 20. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
  • 21. And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
  • 22. And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
  • 23. In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
  • 24. And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
  • 25. For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
  • 26. And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I {cf15I 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 the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
  • 28. And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
  • 29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments {cf15I is}, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
  • 30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this {cf15I is} the first commandment.
  • 31. And the second {cf15I is} like, {cf15I namely} this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
  • 32. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
  • 33. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love {cf15I his} neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
  • 34. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him {cf15I any question}.
  • 35. And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
  • 36. For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
  • 37. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he {cf15I then} his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
  • 38. And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and {cf15I love} salutations in the marketplaces,
  • 39. And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
  • 40. Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
  • 41. And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
  • 42. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
  • 43. And he called {cf15I unto him} his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
  • 44. For all {cf15I they} did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, {cf15I even} all her living.
