Verse
Mark - ch 12 v 1 - 20
- He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
- When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
- They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
- Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
- Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
- Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
- But those farmers said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
- They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
- What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
- Haven't you even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.
- This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes'?"1
- They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.
- They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
- When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don't defer to anyone; for you aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
- Shall we give, or shall we not give?" But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it."
- They brought it. He said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?" They said to him, "Caesar's."
- Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." They marveled greatly at him.
- There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,
- "Teacher, Moses wrote to us, 'If a man's brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'
- There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
- Psalm 118:22-23
