Chapter 12

    

12:1 He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and rented it to vinedressers, and went to a far country.

X Mark

12:2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the vinedressers to receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

X Mark

12:3 But they seized him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

X Mark

12:4 Then he sent another servant to them. They threw stones at him, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

X Mark

12:5 Still he sent another, and they killed him. And there were many others. Some they beat, and some they killed.

X Mark

12:6 “Having yet his one well-beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, “They will revere my son.”

X Mark

12:7 “But those vinedressers said among themselves, “This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.”

X Mark

12:8 So they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

X Mark

12:9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill the vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.

X Mark

12:10 Have you not read this Scripture: “The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

X Mark

12:11 This was YASHUWAH's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes” ”

X Mark

12:12 Then they tried to seize Him, but feared the people, for they knew that He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went their way.

X Mark

12:13 They sent to Him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians to trap Him in His words.

X Mark

12:14 When they came to Him, they said, “Teacher, we know that You are true and swayed by no man. For You do not regard the person of men, but truthfully teach the way of Elohim. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

X Mark

12:15 Should we pay, or should we not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it.”

X Mark

12:16 They brought it, and He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar's.”

X Mark

12:17 Then YASHUWAH answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to Elohim the things that are Elohim's.” And they were amazed at Him.

X Mark

12:18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him, saying,

X Mark

12:19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves his wife behind, but leaves no children, that man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

X Mark

12:20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and when he died, he left no children.

X Mark

12:21 The second took her and died, leaving no children, and the third likewise.

X Mark

12:22 The seven had her and left no children. Last of all, the woman died too.

X Mark

12:23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”

X Mark

12:24 YASHUWAH answered them, “Do you not err, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of Elohim?

X Mark

12:25 When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

X Mark

12:26 Now concerning the dead rising, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account about the bush, how Elohim spoke to him, saying, “I am the Elohim of Abraham and the Elohim of Isaac and the Elohim of Jacob”?

X Mark

12:27 He is not the Elohim of the dead, but the Elohim of the living. You therefore do greatly err.”

X Mark

12:28 One of the scribes came and heard them reasoning together. Perceiving that YASHUWAH had answered them well, he asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”

X Mark

12:29 YASHUWAH answered him, “The first of all the commandments is, “Hear, O Israel, YASHUWAH our Elohim is one YASHUWAH.

X Mark

12:30 You shall love YASHUWAH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the first commandment.

X Mark

12:31 The second is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these.”

X Mark

12:32 The scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, that there is one Elohim and there is no other but Him.

X Mark

12:33 To love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

X Mark

12:34 When YASHUWAH saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of Elohim.” After that, no one dared to ask Him any question.

X Mark

12:35 While YASHUWAH taught in the temple, He said, “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the Son of David?

X Mark

12:36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: “YASHUWAH said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies under Your feet.” ”

X Mark

12:37 David himself calls Him “Master.” How then is He his Son?” And the large multitude heard him gladly.

X Mark

12:38 He said to them in His doctrine, “Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in long robes and love greetings in the marketplaces,

X Mark

12:39 and the prominent seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets,

X Mark

12:40 who devour widows” houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive greater damnation.”

X Mark

12:41 YASHUWAH sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. Many who were rich put in much.

X Mark

12:42 But a certain poor widow came and put in two mites, which make a farthing.

X Mark

12:43 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 treasury.

X Mark

12:44 They all contributed out of their abundance. But she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had, her entire livelihood.”
