He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others. <a href="/mark/12-10.htm">10</a>Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; <a href="/mark/12-11.htm">11</a>THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE <a href="#fn">[†]</a>LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES’?” <a href="/mark/12-12.htm">12</a>And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the crowd, for they understood that He spoke the parable against them. And so they left Him and went away. Taxes to Caesar<a href="/mark/12-13.htm">13</a>Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement. <a href="/mark/12-14.htm">14</a>And they came and said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and <a href="#fn">[†]</a>defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it <a href="#fn">[†]</a>lawful to pay a tax to Caesar, or not? <a href="/mark/12-15.htm">15</a>Shall we pay or shall we not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a <a href="#fn">[†]</a>denarius to look at.” <a href="/mark/12-16.htm">16</a>And they brought one. And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.” <a href="/mark/12-17.htm">17</a>And Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they <a href="#fn">[†]</a>were amazed at Him. The Sadducees and the Resurrection<a href="/mark/12-18.htm">18</a>Then some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying, <a href="/mark/12-19.htm">19</a>“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN’S BROTHER DIES and leaves behind a wife AND LEAVES NO CHILD, HIS BROTHER SHOULD <a href="#fn">[†]</a>MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP A SEED FOR HIS BROTHER. <a href="/mark/12-20.htm">20</a>There were seven brothers; and the first <a href="#fn">[†]</a>married a wife, and died leaving no <a href="#fn">[†]</a>seed. <a href="/mark/12-21.htm">21</a>And the second one <a href="#fn">[†]</a>married her, and died leaving behind no seed; and the third likewise; <a href="/mark/12-22.htm">22</a>and so <a href="#fn">[†]</a>all seven left no seed. Last of all the woman died also. <a href="/mark/12-23.htm">23</a>In the resurrection, <a href="#fn">[†]</a>when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For <a href="#fn">[†]</a>all seven <a href="#fn">[†]</a>had married her.” <a href="/mark/12-24.htm">24</a>Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not <a href="#fn">[†]</a>understand the Scriptures nor the power of God? <a href="/mark/12-25.htm">25</a>For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. <a href="/mark/12-26.htm">26</a>But <a href="#fn">[†]</a>regarding the fact that the dead are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB’? <a href="/mark/12-27.htm">27</a>He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.” The Foremost Commandment<a href="/mark/12-28.htm">28</a>And when one of the scribes came and heard them arguing, he recognized that He had answered them well and asked Him, “What commandment is the <a href="#fn">[†]</a>foremost of all?” <a href="/mark/12-29.htm">29</a>Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE <a href="#fn">[†]</a>LORD OUR GOD IS ONE <a href="#fn">[†]</a>LORD; <a href="/mark/12-30.htm">30</a>AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE <a href="#fn">[†]</a>LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’ <a href="/mark/12-31.htm">31</a>The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” <a href="/mark/12-32.htm">32</a>And the scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM; <a href="/mark/12-33.htm">33</a>AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE’S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” <a href="/mark/12-34.htm">34</a>And when Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one would dare to ask Him any more questions. <a href="/mark/12-35.htm">35</a>And Jesus began to say, as He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the <a href="#fn">[†]</a>Christ is the son of David? <a href="/mark/12-36.htm">36</a>David himself said <a href="#fn">[†]</a>in the Holy Spirit, ‘THE <a href="#fn">[†]</a>LORD SAID TO MY LORD, “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET.”’ <a href="/mark/12-37.htm">37</a>David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?” And the large crowd <a href="#fn">[†]</a>enjoyed listening to Him. <a href="/mark/12-38.htm">38</a>And in His teaching He was saying: “Beware of the scribes who want to walk around in long robes, and want respectful greetings in the marketplaces, <a href="/mark/12-39.htm">39</a>and best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets, <a href="/mark/12-40.htm">40</a>who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers; these will receive greater condemnation.” The Widow’s Offering<a href="/mark/12-41.htm">41</a>And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the crowd was putting <a href="#fn">[†]</a>money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. <a href="/mark/12-42.htm">42</a>And a poor widow came and put in two <a href="#fn">[†]</a>lepta, which amount to a <a href="#fn">[†]</a>quadrans. <a href="/mark/12-43.htm">43</a>And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all those putting money into the treasury; <a href="/mark/12-44.htm">44</a>for they all put in out of their <a href="#fn">[†]</a>surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, <a href="#fn">[†]</a>all she had to live on.”<A name="fn"></a> 1 Or fence 1 Or tenant farmers, so in vv 2, 7, 9 9 Lit lord 11 In OT, Yahweh, cf.
