Verse
Mark - ch 12 v 1 - 20
- And he began to speak to them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a place for the wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
- And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
- And they caught him, and beat him and sent him away empty.
- And again, he sent to them another servant: and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
- And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
- Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.
- But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
- And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
- What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
- And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
- This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
- 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 departed.
- And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
- And when they had come, they say to 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 Cesar, or not?
- Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
- And they brought it: and he saith to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said to him, Cesar's.
- And Jesus answering, said to them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they wondered at him.
- Then come to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
- Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother shall die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
- Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
