Marcos 12
Biblia del Jubileo
12 ¶ Y comenzó a hablarles por parábolas: Plantó un hombre una viña, y la cercó con seto, y cavó un lagar, y edificó una torre, y la arrendó a labradores, y se fue lejos.
2 Y envió un esclavo a los labradores, al tiempo, para que tomara de los labradores del fruto de la viña.
3 Mas ellos, tomándole, le hirieron, y le enviaron vacío.
4 Y volvió a enviarles otro esclavo; mas apedreándole, le hirieron en la cabeza, y volvieron a enviarle afrentado.
5 Y volvió a enviar otro, y a aquel mataron; y a otros muchos, hiriendo a unos y matando a otros.
6 Teniendo pues aún un hijo suyo amado, lo envió también a ellos el postrero, diciendo: Tendrán en reverencia a mi hijo.
7 Mas aquellos labradores dijeron entre sí: Este es el heredero; venid, matémosle, y la heredad será nuestra.
8 Y prendiéndole, le mataron, y le echaron fuera de la viña.
9 ¿Qué, pues, hará el señor de la viña? Vendrá, y destruirá a estos labradores, y dará su viña a otros.
10 ¿Ni aun esta Escritura habéis leído: La piedra que desecharon los que edificaban, Esta es puesta por cabeza de esquina;
11 Por el Señor es hecho esto, Y es cosa maravillosa en nuestros ojos?
12 Y procuraban prenderle, mas temían a la multitud; porque entendían que decía contra ellos aquella parábola; y dejándole, se fueron.
13 ¶ Y envían a él algunos de los fariseos y de los herodianos, para que le sorprendieran en su palabra.
14 Y viniendo ellos, le dicen: Maestro, ya sabemos que eres hombre de verdad, y que no te cuidas de nadie; porque no miras a la apariencia de hombres, antes con verdad enseñas el camino de Dios: ¿Es lícito dar tributo a César, o no? ¿Daremos, o no daremos?
15 Entonces él, como entendía la hipocresía de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis? Traedme la moneda para que la vea.
16 Y ellos se la trajeron y les dice: ¿De quién es esta imagen y esta inscripción? Y ellos le dijeron: De César.
17 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Pagad lo que es de César a César; y lo que es de Dios, a Dios. Y se maravillaron de ello.
18 ¶ Entonces vinieron a él los saduceos, que dicen que no hay resurrección, y le preguntaron, diciendo:
19 Maestro, Moisés nos escribió, que si el hermano de alguno muriere, y dejara mujer, y no dejara hijos, que su hermano tome su mujer, y levante linaje a su hermano.
20 Fueron pues siete hermanos; y el primero tomó mujer, y muriendo, no dejó simiente;
21 y la tomó el segundo, y murió, y ni aquel tampoco dejó simiente; y el tercero, de la misma manera.
22 Y la tomaron los siete, y tampoco dejaron simiente; a la postre murió también la mujer.
23 En la resurrección, pues, cuando resucitaren, ¿de cuál de ellos será mujer? Porque los siete la tuvieron por mujer.
24 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dice: ¿No erráis por eso, porque no sabéis las Escrituras, ni la potencia de Dios?
25 Porque cuando resucitaran de los muertos, ni se casarán, ni maridos toman mujeres, ni mujeres maridos, mas son como los ángeles que están en los cielos.
26 Y de los muertos que hayan de resucitar, ¿no habéis leído en el libro de Moisés cómo le habló Dios en la zarza, diciendo: Yo Soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob?
27 No es Dios de muertos, mas Dios de vivos; así que vosotros mucho erráis.
28 ¶ Y acercándose uno de los escribas, que los había oído disputar, y sabía que les había respondido bien, le preguntó: ¿Cuál es el principal mandamiento de todos?
29 Y Jesús le respondió: El principal mandamiento de todos es: Oye Israel, el Señor nuestro Dios; el Señor uno es.
30 Amarás pues al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de todo tu pensamiento, y de todas tus fuerzas: éste es el principal mandamiento.
31 Y el segundo es semejante a él: Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. No hay otro mandamiento mayor que éstos.
32 Entonces el escriba le dijo: Bien, Maestro, verdad has dicho, que uno es Dios, y no hay otro fuera de él;
33 y que amarle de todo corazón, y de todo entendimiento, y de toda el alma, y de todas las fuerzas; y amar al prójimo como a sí mismo, más es que todos los holocaustos y sacrificios.
34 Jesús entonces, viendo que había respondido sabiamente, le dice: No estás lejos del Reino de Dios. Y ya ninguno osaba preguntarle.
35 ¶ Y respondiendo Jesús decía, enseñando en el Templo: ¿Cómo dicen los escribas que el Cristo es hijo de David?
36 Porque el mismo David dijo por el Espíritu Santo: Dijo el Señor a mi Señor: Siéntate a mi diestra, hasta que ponga tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.
37 Luego llamándole el mismo David, Señor, ¿de dónde, pues, es su hijo? Y muchas personas le oían de buena gana.
38 Y les decía en su doctrina: Guardaos de los escribas, que quieren andar con ropas largas, y aman las salutaciones en las plazas,
39 y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y los primeros asientos en las cenas;
40 que devoran las casas de las viudas, y por pretexto hacen largas oraciones. Estos recibirán mayor juicio.
41 ¶ Y estando sentado Jesús delante del arca de la ofrenda, miraba cómo el pueblo echaba dinero en el arca; y muchos ricos echaban mucho.
42 Y como vino una viuda pobre, echó dos centavos, que es un cuadrante.
43 Entonces llamando a sus discípulos, les dice: De cierto os digo, que esta viuda pobre echó más que todos los que han echado en el arca;
44 porque todos han echado de lo que les sobra; mas ésta, de su pobreza echó todo lo que tenía, todo su alimento.
Mark 12
New King James Version
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.”

21st Century King James Version
12 And He began to speak unto them by parables: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a place for the wine vat, and built a watchtower; and he leased it out to husbandmen and went into a far country.
2 And at the harvest 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 therefore shall 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 has become the head of the corner;
11 this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.’”
12 And they sought to lay hold on Him, but they 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 sent unto Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to catch Him in His words.
14 And when they had come, they said 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 said unto them, “Whose image and superscription is this?” 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 marveled at Him.
18 Then came unto Him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked Him, saying,
19 “Master, Moses wrote unto us that if a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, then 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 leaving any seed. And the third likewise.
22 So 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, for all seven had her for a 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 who are in Heaven.
26 And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke 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 neighbor as thyself.’ There is no 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 than He.
33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor 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 dared 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 at My right hand until 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, who 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 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.”
41 And Jesus sat opposite the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury. And many who 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 said unto them, “Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they that have cast into the treasury;
44 for they all cast in of their abundance, but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.”
