Mark 12
Darby Translation
12 And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard, and made a fence round [it] and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
2 And he sent a bondman to the husbandmen at the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 But they took him, and beat [him], and sent [him] away empty.
4 And again he sent to them another bondman; and [at] him they [threw stones, and] struck [him] on the head, and sent [him] away with insult.
5 And [again] he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.
7 But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours.
8 And they took him and killed him, and cast him forth 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 to others.
10 Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone:
11 this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
12 And they sought to lay hold of him, and they feared the crowd; for they knew that he had spoken the parable of them. And they left him and went away.
13 And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in speaking.
14 And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not men's person, but teachest the way of God with truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
15 Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see [it].
16 And they brought [it]. And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said to them, Pay what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God. And they wondered at him.
18 And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying,
19 Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;
21 and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.
22 And the seven [took her and] did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?
24 And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 For when they rise from among [the] dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels [who are] in the heavens.
26 But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the section of] the 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. *Ye* therefore greatly err.
28 And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is [the] first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, 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 thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is [the] first commandment.
31 And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to [the] truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him;
33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more.
35 And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
36 [for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.
37 David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.
38 And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
39 and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
40 who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
41 And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much.
42 And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
43 And having called his disciples to [him] he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:
44 for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.
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.”

A parábola dos lavradores malvados(A)
12 E começou a falar-lhes por parábolas: Um homem plantou uma vinha, e cercou-a de um valado, e fundou nela um lagar, e edificou uma torre, e arrendou-a a uns lavradores, e partiu para fora da terra. 2 E, chegado o tempo, mandou um servo aos lavradores para que recebesse, dos lavradores, do fruto da vinha. 3 Mas estes, apoderando-se dele, o feriram e o mandaram embora vazio. 4 E tornou a enviar-lhes outro servo; e eles, apedrejando-o, o feriram na cabeça e o mandaram embora, tendo-o afrontado. 5 E tornou a enviar-lhes outro, e a este mataram; e a outros muitos, dos quais a uns feriram e a outros mataram. 6 Tendo ele, pois, ainda um, seu filho amado, enviou-o também a estes por derradeiro, dizendo: Ao menos terão respeito ao meu filho. 7 Mas aqueles lavradores disseram entre si: Este é o herdeiro; vamos, matemo-lo, e a herança será nossa. 8 E, agarrando-o, o mataram e o lançaram fora da vinha. 9 Que fará, pois, o Senhor da vinha? Virá, e destruirá os lavradores, e dará a vinha a outros. 10 Ainda não lestes esta Escritura: A pedra que os edificadores rejeitaram, esta foi posta por cabeça da esquina; 11 isso foi feito pelo Senhor e é coisa maravilhosa aos nossos olhos? 12 E buscavam prendê-lo, mas temiam a multidão, porque entendiam que contra eles dizia esta parábola; e, deixando-o, foram-se.
Interrogação acerca do tributo(B)
13 E enviaram-lhe alguns dos fariseus e dos herodianos, para que o apanhassem em alguma palavra. 14 E, chegando eles, disseram-lhe: Mestre, sabemos que és homem de verdade e não te importas com quem quer que seja, porque não olhas a aparência dos homens, antes, com verdade, ensinas o caminho de Deus. É lícito pagar tributo a César ou não? Pagaremos ou não pagaremos? 15 Então, ele, conhecendo a sua hipocrisia, disse-lhes: Por que me tentais? Trazei-me uma moeda, para que a veja. 16 E eles lha trouxeram. E disse-lhes: De quem é esta imagem e inscrição? E eles lhe disseram: De César. 17 E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhes: Dai, pois, a César o que é de César e a Deus, o que é de Deus. E maravilharam-se dele.
Os saduceus e a ressurreição(C)
18 Então, os saduceus, que dizem que não há ressurreição, aproximaram-se dele e perguntaram-lhe, dizendo: 19 Mestre, Moisés nos escreveu que, se morresse o irmão de alguém, e deixasse mulher, e não deixasse filhos, seu irmão tomasse a mulher dele e suscitasse descendência a seu irmão. 20 Ora, havia sete irmãos, e o primeiro tomou mulher e morreu sem deixar descendência; 21 e o segundo também a tomou, e morreu, e nem este deixou descendência; e o terceiro, da mesma maneira. 22 E tomaram-na os sete, sem, contudo, terem deixado descendência. Finalmente, depois de todos, morreu também a mulher. 23 Na ressurreição, pois, quando ressuscitarem, de qual destes será a mulher? Porque os sete a tiveram por mulher. 24 E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhes: Porventura, não errais vós em razão de não saberdes as Escrituras nem o poder de Deus? 25 Porquanto, quando ressuscitarem dos mortos, nem casarão, nem se darão em casamento, mas serão como os anjos nos céus. 26 E, acerca dos mortos que houverem de ressuscitar, não tendes lido no livro de Moisés como Deus lhe falou na sarça, dizendo: Eu sou o Deus de Abraão, e o Deus de Isaque, e o Deus de Jacó? 27 Ora, Deus não é de mortos, mas sim é Deus de vivos. Por isso, vós errais muito.
O primeiro de todos os mandamentos(D)
28 Aproximou-se dele um dos escribas que os tinha ouvido disputar e, sabendo que lhes tinha respondido bem, perguntou-lhe: Qual é o primeiro de todos os mandamentos? 29 E Jesus respondeu-lhe: O primeiro de todos os mandamentos é: Ouve, Israel, o Senhor, nosso Deus, é o único Senhor. 30 Amarás, pois, ao Senhor, teu Deus, de todo o teu coração, e de toda a tua alma, e de todo o teu entendimento, e de todas as tuas forças; este é o primeiro mandamento. 31 E o segundo, semelhante a este, é: Amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. Não há outro mandamento maior do que estes. 32 E o escriba lhe disse: Muito bem, Mestre, e com verdade disseste que há um só Deus e que não há outro além dele; 33 e que amá-lo de todo o coração, e de todo o entendimento, e de toda a alma, e de todas as forças e amar o próximo como a si mesmo é mais do que todos os holocaustos e sacrifícios. 34 E Jesus, vendo que havia respondido sabiamente, disse-lhe: Não estás longe do Reino de Deus. E já ninguém ousava perguntar-lhe mais nada.
O Cristo, Filho de Davi(E)
35 E, falando Jesus, dizia, ensinando no templo: Como dizem os escribas que o Cristo é Filho de Davi? 36 O próprio Davi disse pelo Espírito Santo: O Senhor disse ao meu Senhor: Assenta-te à minha direita, até que eu ponha os teus inimigos por escabelo dos teus pés. 37 Pois, se Davi mesmo lhe chama Senhor, como é logo seu filho? E a grande multidão o ouvia de boa vontade.
Jesus censura os escribas(F)
38 E, ensinando-os, dizia-lhes: Guardai-vos dos escribas, que gostam de andar com vestes compridas, e das saudações nas praças, 39 e das primeiras cadeiras nas sinagogas, e dos primeiros assentos nas ceias; 40 que devoram as casas das viúvas e isso, com pretexto de largas orações. Estes receberão mais grave condenação.
A oferta da viúva pobre(G)
41 E, estando Jesus assentado defronte da arca do tesouro, observava a maneira como a multidão lançava o dinheiro na arca do tesouro; e muitos ricos depositavam muito. 42 Vindo, porém, uma pobre viúva, depositou duas pequenas moedas, que valiam cinco réis. 43 E, chamando os seus discípulos, disse-lhes: Em verdade vos digo que esta pobre viúva depositou mais do que todos os que depositaram na arca do tesouro; 44 porque todos ali depositaram do que lhes sobejava, mas esta, da sua pobreza, depositou tudo o que tinha, todo o seu sustento.
