La viña alquilada
12 Jesús comenzó por ponerles el siguiente ejemplo:
«Un hombre sembró una viña y construyó un cerco alrededor de ella. También preparó un lugar para hacer vino con las uvas que cosechara, y construyó una torre para vigilar el terreno. Luego, alquiló la viña a unos hombres y se fue de viaje.
2 »Cuando llegó el tiempo de la cosecha, el dueño de la viña envió a un sirviente para pedir la parte de la cosecha que le correspondía. 3 Pero los que alquilaron la viña golpearon al sirviente y lo enviaron con las manos vacías.
4 »El dueño volvió a enviar a otro sirviente, pero los hombres lo insultaron y lo golpearon en la cabeza.
5 »Envió luego a un tercer sirviente, y a ése lo mataron. Después envió a muchos otros sirvientes; a unos los golpearon y a otros los mataron.
6 »Sólo le quedaba su hijo, a quien amaba mucho. Finalmente decidió enviarlo, pues pensó: “A mi hijo sí lo respetarán”.
7 »Pero los hombres que alquilaron la viña se dijeron unos a otros: “Este muchacho es el que heredará la viña cuando el dueño muera. Vamos a matarlo; así nos quedaremos con todo.”
8 »Entonces los hombres agarraron al muchacho, lo mataron y arrojaron su cuerpo fuera del terreno.
9 »¿Qué piensan ustedes que hará el dueño de la viña? Yo se lo voy a decir: irá a la viña, matará a esos hombres, y luego dará la viña a otras personas.
10 »¿No recuerdan lo que dice la Biblia?:
“La piedra que rechazaron
los constructores del templo
es ahora la piedra principal.
11 Esto nos deja maravillados,
pues Dios es quien lo hizo.”»
12 Los sacerdotes principales, los maestros de la Ley y los líderes del país se dieron cuenta de que Jesús había hecho esa comparación para hablar de ellos, y quisieron arrestarlo. Pero no se atrevieron a hacerlo porque tenían miedo de la gente. Entonces lo dejaron y se fueron.
Una trampa para Jesús
13 Después mandaron a algunos de los fariseos y a unos partidarios del rey Herodes,[a] para ponerle a Jesús una trampa. 14 Ellos fueron y le dijeron:
—Maestro, sabemos que siempre dices la verdad. No te importa lo que digan los demás acerca de tus enseñanzas, porque siempre insistes en que debemos obedecer a Dios en todo. Dinos qué opinas. ¿Está bien que le paguemos impuestos al emperador de Roma?
15 Como Jesús sabía que ellos eran unos hipócritas, les respondió:
—¿Por qué quieren ponerme una trampa? Tráiganme una de las monedas que se usan para pagar el impuesto.
16 Entonces ellos le llevaron una moneda de plata, y Jesús les preguntó:
—¿De quién es la imagen que está en la moneda? ¿De quién es el nombre escrito en ella?
Ellos contestaron:
—Del emperador de Roma.
17 Jesús les dijo:
—Denle entonces al emperador lo que es del emperador, y a Dios lo que es de Dios.
Al escuchar la respuesta de Jesús, todos quedaron muy asombrados.
Los saduceos hablan con Jesús
18 Unos saduceos fueron a ver a Jesús y, como no creían que los muertos pueden volver a vivir, le preguntaron:
19 —Maestro, Moisés escribió que, si un hombre muere sin tener hijos con su esposa, el hermano de ese hombre debe casarse con esa mujer y tener hijos con ella. De acuerdo con la ley, esos hijos son del hermano muerto y llevan su nombre.
20 »Pues bien, aquí vivían siete hermanos. El mayor se casó, y tiempo después murió sin tener hijos. 21 Entonces el segundo hermano se casó con la mujer que dejó el mayor, pero al poco tiempo también él murió sin tener hijos. Con el tercer hermano pasó lo mismo. 22 Y así pasó con los siete hermanos. Finalmente, murió la mujer.
23 »Ahora bien, cuando Dios haga que todos los muertos vuelvan a vivir, ¿de quién será esposa esta mujer, si estuvo casada con los siete?
24 Jesús les contestó:
—Ustedes están equivocados. No saben lo que dice la Biblia, ni conocen el poder de Dios. 25 Cuando Dios haga que los muertos vuelvan a vivir, nadie se va a casar, porque todos serán como los ángeles del cielo. 26 Y en cuanto a si los muertos vuelven a vivir, ustedes pueden leer en la Biblia la historia de la zarza. Allí, Dios le dijo a Moisés: “Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob, tus antepasados.” 27 Por tanto, Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos, pues para Dios todos ellos están vivos. ¡Qué equivocados están ustedes!
Los dos mandamientos más importantes
28 Uno de los maestros de la Ley escuchó la conversación entre Jesús y los saduceos. Al ver que Jesús les respondió muy bien, se acercó y le preguntó:
—¿Cuál es el mandamiento más importante de todos?
29 Jesús le contestó:
—El primero y más importante de los mandamientos es el que dice así: “¡Escucha, pueblo de Israel! Nuestro único Dios es el Dios de Israel. 30 Ama a tu Dios con todo lo que piensas, con todo lo que eres y con todo lo que vales.” 31 Y el segundo mandamiento en importancia es: “Cada uno debe amar a su prójimo, como se ama a sí mismo.” Ningún otro mandamiento es más importante que estos dos.
32 El maestro de la Ley le dijo:
—Muy bien, Maestro. Lo que dices es cierto: sólo Dios es nuestro dueño, y no hay otro como él. 33 Debemos amarlo con todo nuestro ser, y amar a los demás como nos amamos a nosotros mismos. Estos mandamientos son más importantes que cumplir con todos los ritos y deberes religiosos.
34 Como Jesús vio que el maestro de la Ley le dio una buena respuesta, le dijo:
—No estás lejos del reino de Dios.
Y nadie se atrevió a hacerle más preguntas.
La pregunta acerca del Mesías
35 Mientras enseñaba en el templo, Jesús preguntó:
«¿Por qué dicen los maestros de la Ley que el Mesías será de la familia del rey David? 36 Recuerden que el Espíritu Santo dijo lo siguiente a través de David:
“Dios le dijo a mi Señor el Mesías:
‘Siéntate a la derecha de mi trono,
hasta que yo derrote a tus enemigos.’”
37 »A ver, explíquenme: ¿Por qué el rey David llama Señor al Mesías? ¿Cómo puede el Mesías ser su descendiente? ¡Hasta David lo considera más importante que él mismo!»
Había allí mucha gente, y todos escuchaban a Jesús con agrado.
Jesús advierte a la gente y a sus discípulos
38 Jesús siguió enseñando y les dijo:
«¡Cuídense de los maestros de la Ley! A ellos les gusta vestirse como gente importante, y que en el mercado los saluden con mucho respeto. 39 Cuando van a una fiesta o a la sinagoga, les gusta ocupar los mejores asientos. 40 ¡Y son ellos los que roban las casas de las viudas, y luego hacen oraciones muy largas! Pero Dios los castigará más duro que a los demás.»
La ofrenda de la viuda pobre
41 Un día, Jesús estaba en el templo, y se sentó frente a las cajas de las ofrendas. Allí veía cómo la gente echaba dinero en ellas. Mucha gente rica echaba grandes cantidades de dinero. 42 En eso llegó una viuda pobre, y echó en una de las cajas dos moneditas de poquísimo valor. 43 Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos:
—Les aseguro que esta viuda pobre dio más que todos los ricos. 44 Porque todos ellos dieron de lo que les sobraba, pero ella, que es tan pobre, dio todo lo que tenía para vivir.

Mark 12
New International Version
The Parable of the Tenants(A)
12 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard.(B) He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. 5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,(C) saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;(D)
11 the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’[a]?”(E)
12 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd;(F) so they left him and went away.(G)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(H)
13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians(I) to Jesus to catch him(J) in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[b] to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”(K)
And they were amazed at him.
Marriage at the Resurrection(L)
18 Then the Sadducees,(M) who say there is no resurrection,(N) came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.(O) 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[c] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures(P) or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.(Q) 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[d]?(R) 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
The Greatest Commandment(S)
28 One of the teachers of the law(T) came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f](U) 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g](V) There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.(W) 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”(X)
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”(Y) And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.(Z)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AA)(AB)
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts,(AC) he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?(AD) 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit,(AE) declared:
37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
The large crowd(AG) listened to him with delight.
Warning Against the Teachers of the Law
38 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(AH) 40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
The Widow’s Offering(AI)
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put(AJ) and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”(AK)

Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Masasamang Katiwala(A)
12 Nagsimulang (B) magsalita si Jesus sa mga tao sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga. “May isang taong nagtanim ng mga ubas sa kanyang bukirin. Binakuran niya ang ubasan, humukay ng pisaan ng ubas, at nagtayo ng mataas na bantayan. Pagkatapos, pinaupahan niya iyon sa mga magsasaka, bago siya nagpunta sa ibang lupain. 2 Nang dumating na ang panahon ng pag-aani, sinugo niya ang isa niyang alipin upang kunin sa mga magsasaka ang kanyang bahagi mula sa mga bunga ng ubasan. 3 Ngunit sapilitang kinuha ng mga magsasaka ang alipin, binugbog at pinaalis na walang dala. 4 Muling nagsugo ang may-ari ng isa pang alipin, ngunit ito'y kanilang hinampas sa ulo at hiniya. 5 Nagsugo ang may-ari ng isa pang alipin, ngunit pinatay naman nila ito. Ganoon din ang ginawa nila sa marami pang iba. Binugbog ang iba at ang iba nama'y pinatay. 6 Iisa na lamang ang maaaring isugo ng may-ari, ang kanyang minamahal na anak. Sa dakong huli'y pinapunta nga niya ito, at iniisip, ‘Igagalang nila ang aking anak.’ 7 Ngunit nag-usap-usap ang mga magsasaka, ‘Ito ang tagapagmana. Halikayo, patayin natin siya upang mapasaatin ang kanyang mamanahin.’ 8 Kaya't sapilitan nilang kinuha ang anak at pinatay, pagkatapos ay itinapon sa labas ng ubasan. 9 Ano ngayon ang gagawin ng may-ari ng ubasan? Pupuntahan niya at papatayin ang mga magsasaka, at ang ubasan ay ibibigay sa iba. 10 Hindi (C) pa ba ninyo nabasa ang kasulatang ito:
‘Ang batong itinakwil ng mga tagapagtayo ng bahay,
ang siyang naging batong panulukan.
11 Ito'y gawa ng Panginoon,
at sa ati'y kahanga-hangang pagmasdan’?”
12 Nang mabatid nilang sinabi ni Jesus ang talinghagang ito laban sa kanila, pinagsikapan nilang siya'y dakpin. Ngunit natakot sila sa maraming tao, kaya umalis sila at iniwan si Jesus.
Ang Pagbabayad ng Buwis(D)
13 Pinapunta nila kay Jesus ang ilan sa mga Fariseo at sa mga kakampi ni Herodes upang siluin siya sa kanyang sinasabi. 14 Lumapit sila sa kanya at sinabi, “Guro, alam naming tapat ka at walang kinikilingan. Hindi ka tumitingin sa panlabas na anyo ng tao at itinuturo mo ang daan ng Diyos batay sa katotohanan. Tama bang magbayad ng buwis sa Emperador[a] o hindi? Dapat ba kaming magbayad o hindi?” 15 Dahil batid ni Jesus ang kanilang pagkukunwari ay sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit ninyo ako sinusubukan? Abutan ninyo ako ng isang salaping pilak at titingnan ko.” 16 Inabutan nga nila si Jesus ng salaping pilak. “Kaninong larawan at pangalan ang naririto?” tanong ni Jesus. “Sa Emperador,” sagot nila. 17 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ibigay ninyo sa Emperador ang sa Emperador at sa Diyos ang sa Diyos.” At sila'y namangha sa kanya.
Tanong tungkol sa Muling Pagkabuhay(E)
18 Lumapit (F) kay Jesus ang mga Saduceo, mga taong nagtuturo na walang pagkabuhay na muli, at nagtanong sila sa kanya, 19 “Guro, (G) isinulat ni Moises para sa amin na kung mamatay ang isang lalaki at naiwang walang anak ang kanyang asawa, ang kapatid na lalaki ng namatay ay dapat pakasal sa babae upang magkaanak siya para sa yumao. 20 Mayroong pitong magkakapatid na lalaki. Nag-asawa ang panganay at namatay na walang anak. 21 Pinakasalan ng pangalawa ang babae subalit namatay ring walang naiwang anak. Ganoon din ang nangyari sa pangatlo. 22 Walang ni isa man sa pitong magkakapatid ang nagkaanak sa kanya. Sa kahuli-hulihan, ang babae naman ang namatay. 23 Sa muling pagkabuhay, (kapag sila'y muling nabuhay)[b] sino sa pitong magkakapatid ang magiging asawa ng babae yamang napangasawa niya silang lahat?” 24 Sumagot si Jesus, “Nagkakamali kayo! At ito ang dahilan: hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang mga kasulatan ni ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos. 25 Sa muling pagkabuhay ng mga tao mula sa kamatayan ay wala nang pag-aasawa. Sa halip, sila'y magiging katulad ng mga anghel sa langit. 26 Tungkol (H) naman sa muling pagbangon ng mga patay, hindi ba ninyo nabasa sa aklat ni Moises, sa bahagi tungkol sa mababang punong nagliliyab na doon ay sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya, ‘Ako ang Diyos ni Abraham, ang Diyos ni Isaac, at ang Diyos ni Jacob’? 27 Hindi siya Diyos ng mga patay, kundi ng mga buháy! Maling-mali kayo!”
Ang Pangunahing Utos(I)
28 Lumapit ang isang tagapagturo ng Kautusan at narinig ang kanilang pagtatalo. Nakita niyang mahusay ang pagsagot ni Jesus sa mga Saduceo, kaya siya ay nagtanong, “Ano ang pangunahing utos sa lahat?” 29 Sumagot (J) si Jesus, “Ang pangunahing utos ay ito: ‘Makinig ka, Israel! Ang Panginoon na ating Diyos ay iisang Panginoon. 30 Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang iyong buong puso, nang iyong buong kaluluwa, nang iyong buong pag-iisip, at nang iyong buong lakas.’ 31 Ang (K) pangalawa ay ito, ‘Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa gaya ng pag-ibig mo sa iyong sarili.’ Wala nang ibang utos na hihigit pa sa mga ito.” 32 Sinabi (L) sa kanya ng tagapagturo ng Kautusan, “Tama ka, Guro. Batay sa katotohanan ang sinabi mo na iisa nga ang ating Panginoon at wala nang iba maliban sa kanya. 33 Ang (M) umibig sa kanya nang buong puso, buong pagkaunawa, buong lakas, at ang umibig sa kapwa gaya ng pag-ibig sa sarili, ay higit kaysa lahat ng mga handog na sinusunog at iba pang mga hain.” 34 Nang (N) makita ni Jesus na matalinong sumagot ang lalaki, sinabi niya sa kanya, “Hindi ka malayo sa kaharian ng Diyos.” Mula noon, wala nang nangahas na magtanong sa kanya.
Ang Tanong ni Jesus tungkol sa Anak ni David(O)
35 Habang nagtuturo si Jesus sa templo, nagtanong siya, “Bakit sinasabi ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na ang Cristo ay anak ni David? 36 Si (P) David mismo ang nagpahayag sa patnubay ng Banal na Espiritu,
‘Sinabi ng Panginoon sa aking Panginoon,
“Maupo ka sa aking kanan,
hanggang mailagay ko sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa ang iyong mga kaaway.” ’
37 Mismong si David ay tumawag sa kanya na Panginoon, kaya't paano siya magiging anak ni David?” Masayang nakinig sa kanya ang napakaraming tao.
Babala Laban sa mga Tagapagturo ng Kautusan(Q)
38 Sinabi niya habang siya'y nagtuturo, “Mag-ingat kayo sa mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan! Mahilig silang maglakad-lakad na suot ang mahahabang damit, at gustung-gusto nilang pagpugayan sila sa mga pamilihan. 39 Mahilig din silang maupo sa mga pangunahing upuan sa mga sinagoga, at mga upuang pandangal sa mga handaan. 40 Inuubos nila ang kabuhayan ng mga babaing balo at nagkukunwaring banal sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mahahabang pagdarasal. Mas mabigat na parusa ang tatanggapin ng mga ito.”
Ang Kaloob ng Babaing Balo(R)
41 Naupo si Jesus sa tapat ng kabang-yaman ng templo at pinagmasdan kung paano naghuhulog ang mga tao ng kanilang handog na salapi. Maraming mayayaman ang naghuhulog ng malalaking halaga. 42 Dumating ang isang dukhang babaing balo at naghulog ng dalawang kusing, katumbas ng isang pera. 43 Tinawag niya ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi, “Katotohanan ang sinasabi ko, ang dukhang balong ito ay naghulog ng higit kaysa lahat ng mga naghulog sa kabang-yaman. 44 Sapagkat lahat ay nagbigay mula sa kanilang kasaganaan, ngunit ang babaing ito, sa kabila ng kanyang kahirapan, ay nagbigay ng kanyang buong kabuhayan.”

Mark 12
King James Version
12 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged 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 him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent 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 him, and cast 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 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 it.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose 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 his wife 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 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 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 is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, 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 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 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 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 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 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 they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers(A)
12 Then (B)He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to [a]vinedressers and went into a far country. 2 Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers. 3 And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Again he sent them another servant, [b]and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. 5 And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, (C)beating some and killing some. 6 Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 But those [c]vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and (D)killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 “Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not even read this Scripture:
(E)‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
11 This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 (F)And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.
The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(G)
13 (H)Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words. 14 When they had come, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and [d]care about no one; for You do not [e]regard the person of men, but teach the (I)way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?”
But He, knowing their (J)hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it.” 16 So they brought it.
And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
17 And Jesus answered and said to them, [f]“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to (K)God the things that are God’s.”
And they marveled at Him.
The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(L)
18 (M)Then some Sadducees, (N)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying: 19 “Teacher, (O)Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise. 22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. 23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore [g]mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (P)are like angels in heaven. 26 But concerning the dead, that they (Q)rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, (R)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly [h]mistaken.”
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(S)
28 (T)Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, [i]perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the [j]first commandment of all?”
29 Jesus answered him, “The [k]first of all the commandments is: (U)‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall (V)love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [l]This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: (W)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than (X)these.”
32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, (Y)and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, [m]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, (Z)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
(AA)But after that no one dared question Him.
Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?(AB)
35 (AC)Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? 36 For David himself said (AD)by the Holy Spirit:
(AE)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his (AF)Son?”
And the common people heard Him gladly.
Beware of the Scribes(AG)
38 Then (AH)He said to them in His teaching, (AI)“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, (AJ)love greetings in the marketplaces, 39 the (AK)best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 40 (AL)who devour widows’ houses, and [n]for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
The Widow’s Two Mites(AM)
41 (AN)Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money (AO)into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two [o]mites, which make a [p]quadrans. 43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that (AP)this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, (AQ)her whole livelihood.”
