12:1 And
he
began
to
speak
to
them
in
parables.
"A
man
planted
a
vineyard
and
put
a
fence
around
it
and
dug
a
pit
for
the
winepress
and
built
a
tower,
and
leased
it
to
tenants
and
went
into
another
country.
12:2 When
the
season
came,
he
sent
a
servant
to
the
tenants
to
get
from
them
some
of
the
fruit
of
the
vineyard.
12:3 And
they
took
him
and
beat
him
and
sent
him
away
empty-handed.
12:4 Again
he
sent
to
them
another
servant,
and
they
struck
him
on
the
head
and
treated
him
shamefully.
12:5 And
he
sent
another,
and
him
they
killed.
And
so
with
many
others:
some
they
beat,
and
some
they
killed.
12:6 He
had
still
one
other,
a
beloved
son.
Finally
he
sent
him
to
them,
saying,
'They
will
respect
my
son.'
12:7 But
those
tenants
said
to
one
another,
'This
is
the
heir.
Come,
let
us
kill
him,
and
the
inheritance
will
be
ours.'
12:8 And
they
took
him
and
killed
him
and
threw
him
out
of
the
vineyard.
12:9 What
will
the
owner
of
the
vineyard
do
He
will
come
and
destroy
the
tenants
and
give
the
vineyard
to
others.
12:10 Have
you
not
read
this
Scripture:
"'The
stone
that
the
builders
rejected
has
become
the
cornerstone;
12:11 this
was
the
Lord's
doing,
and
it
is
marvelous
in
our
eyes'"
12:12 And
they
were
seeking
to
arrest
him
but
feared
the
people,
for
they
perceived
that
he
had
told
the
parable
against
them.
So
they
left
him
and
went
away.
12:13 And
they
sent
to
him
some
of
the
Pharisees
and
some
of
the
Herodians,
to
trap
him
in
his
talk.
12:14 And
they
came
and
said
to
him,
"Teacher,
we
know
that
you
are
true
and
do
not
care
about
anyone's
opinion.
For
you
are
not
swayed
by
appearances,
but
truly
teach
the
way
of
God.
Is
it
lawful
to
pay
taxes
to
Caesar,
or
not
Should
we
pay
them,
or
should
we
not"
12:15 But,
knowing
their
hypocrisy,
he
said
to
them,
"Why
put
me
to
the
test
Bring
me
a
denarius
and
let
me
look
at
it."
12:16 And
they
brought
one.
And
he
said
to
them,
"Whose
likeness
and
inscription
is
this"
They
said
to
him,
"Caesar's."
12:17 Jesus
said
to
them,
"Render
to
Caesar
the
things
that
are
Caesar's,
and
to
God
the
things
that
are
God's."
And
they
marveled
at
him.
12:18 And
Sadducees
came
to
him,
who
say
that
there
is
no
resurrection.
And
they
asked
him
a
question,
saying,
12:19 "Teacher,
Moses
wrote
for
us
that
if
a
man's
brother
dies
and
leaves
a
wife,
but
leaves
no
child,
the
man
must
take
the
widow
and
raise
up
offspring
for
his
brother.
12:20 There
were
seven
brothers;
the
first
took
a
wife,
and
when
he
died
left
no
offspring.
12:21 And
the
second
took
her,
and
died,
leaving
no
offspring.
And
the
third
likewise.
12:22 And
the
seven
left
no
offspring.
Last
of
all
the
woman
also
died.
12:23 In
the
resurrection,
when
they
rise
again,
whose
wife
will
she
be
For
the
seven
had
her
as
wife."
12:24 Jesus
said
to
them,
"Is
this
not
the
reason
you
are
wrong,
because
you
know
neither
the
Scriptures
nor
the
power
of
God
12:25 For
when
they
rise
from
the
dead,
they
neither
marry
nor
are
given
in
marriage,
but
are
like
angels
in
heaven.
12:26 And
as
for
the
dead
being
raised,
have
you
not
read
in
the
book
of
Moses,
in
the
passage
about
the
bush,
how
God
spoke
to
him,
saying,
'I
am
the
God
of
Abraham,
and
the
God
of
Isaac,
and
the
God
of
Jacob'
12:27 He
is
not
God
of
the
dead,
but
of
the
living.
You
are
quite
wrong."
12:28 And
one
of
the
scribes
came
up
and
heard
them
disputing
with
one
another,
and
seeing
that
he
answered
them
well,
asked
him,
"Which
commandment
is
the
most
important
of
all"
12:29 Jesus
answered,
"The
most
important
is,
'Hear,
O
Israel:
The
Lord
our
God,
the
Lord
is
one.
12:30 And
you
shall
love
the
Lord
your
God
with
all
your
heart
and
with
all
your
soul
and
with
all
your
mind
and
with
all
your
strength.'
12:31 The
second
is
this:
'You
shall
love
your
neighbor
as
yourself.'
There
is
no
other
commandment
greater
than
these."
12:32 And
the
scribe
said
to
him,
"You
are
right,
Teacher.
You
have
truly
said
that
he
is
one,
and
there
is
no
other
besides
him.
12:33 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
oneself,
is
much
more
than
all
whole
burnt
offerings
and
sacrifices."
12:34 And
when
Jesus
saw
that
he
answered
wisely,
he
said
to
him,
"You
are
not
far
from
the
kingdom
of
God."
And
after
that
no
one
dared
to
ask
him
any
more
questions.
12:35 And
as
Jesus
taught
in
the
temple,
he
said,
"How
can
the
scribes
say
that
the
Christ
is
the
son
of
David
12:36 David
himself,
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
declared,
"'The
Lord
said
to
my
Lord,
Sit
at
my
right
hand,
until
I
put
your
enemies
under
your
feet.'
12:37 David
himself
calls
him
Lord.
So
how
is
he
his
son"
And
the
great
throng
heard
him
gladly.
12:38 And
in
his
teaching
he
said,
"Beware
of
the
scribes,
who
like
to
walk
around
in
long
robes
and
like
greetings
in
the
marketplaces
12:39 and
have
the
best
seats
in
the
synagogues
and
the
places
of
honor
at
feasts,
12:40 who
devour
widows'
houses
and
for
a
pretense
make
long
prayers.
They
will
receive
the
greater
condemnation."
12:41 And
he
sat
down
opposite
the
treasury
and
watched
the
people
putting
money
into
the
offering
box.
Many
rich
people
put
in
large
sums.
12:42 And
a
poor
widow
came
and
put
in
two
small
copper
coins,
which
make
a
penny.
12:43 And
he
called
his
disciples
to
him
and
said
to
them,
"Truly,
I
say
to
you,
this
poor
widow
has
put
in
more
than
all
those
who
are
contributing
to
the
offering
box.
12:44 For
they
all
contributed
out
of
their
abundance,
but
she
out
of
her
poverty
has
put
in
everything
she
had,
all
she
had
to
live
on."
