MARK 12 ©

12

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants

(Matthew 21:33–46, Luke 20:9–18)

Then [Jesus] began to speak to them in parables:“A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall {around it}, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to [some] tenants and went away on a journey.

2

At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect [his share] of the fruit of the vineyard. 3But they seized [the servant], beat [him], and sent [him] away empty-handed.

4

Then he sent them another servant, and they struck {him} over the head and treated [him] shamefully.

5

He sent still another, and this one they killed.

[He sent] many others; some they beat and [others] they killed.

6

vvv Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them.‘They will respect my son,’ he said

7

But [the] tenants said to one another‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8So they seized [the son], killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9

What then {will} the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill [those] tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10vvv Have you never read this Scripture:

‘[The] stone the builders rejected

has become the vvv cornerstone.

11

This is from [the] Lord,

and it is marvelous in our eyes’[fn]?”

12

At this, [the leaders] sought[fn] to arrest [Jesus], for they knew that He had spoken [this] parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him [and] went away.

13

Paying Taxes to Caesar

(Matthew 22:15–22, Luke 20:19–26)

Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch [Jesus] in [His] words. 14“Teacher,” vvv they said“we know that You are honest and vvv seek favor from no one. Indeed, vvv You are impartial [and] teach the way of God in accordance with [the] truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay [them] or not

15

But [Jesus] saw through their hypocrisy [and] said“Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius[fn] to inspect.” 16[So] they brought [it], and He asked them,“Whose image [is] this? And [whose] inscription?”

“Caesar’s,” they answered

17

Then Jesus told them,“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

And they marveled at Him.

18

The Sadducees and the Resurrection

(Matthew 22:23–33, Luke 20:27–40)

Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to [Jesus] and questioned Him 19“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, vvv vvv [the man] is to marry [his brother’s] widow and raise up offspring for [him].[fn] 20[Now] there were seven brothers. The first [one] married and died, leaving no children. 21Then the second [one] married [the widow], [but] he also died [and] left no children. And the third [did] likewise. 22In this way, none of the seven left [any] children. And last of all, the woman died. 23In the resurrection, [then] whose wife will she be? For [all] seven were married to her.”

24

Jesus said to them,“vvv Aren’t you mistaken because vvv you do not know the Scriptures [or] the power of God? 25When the dead rise vvv they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like [the] angels in heaven.

26

But concerning the dead rising, vvv have you not read about the [burning] bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him‘I [am] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[fn]? 27He is not [the] God of [the] dead, but of [the] living. vvv You are badly mistaken!”

28

The Greatest Commandment

(Deuteronomy 6:1–19, Matthew 22:34–40)

Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well [Jesus] had answered them, he asked Him,“Which commandment is [the] most important of all?”

29

Jesus replied,“This is the most important:‘Hear O Israel, [the] Lord our God, [the] Lord is One. 30Love [the] Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[fn] 31[The] second [is] this:‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[fn] No other commandment is greater than these.”

32

“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied“You have stated vvv correctly that [God] is One and there is no other but Him, 33and to love Him with all [your] heart and with all [your] understanding and with all [your] strength, and to love [your] neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34

When Jesus saw that [the man] had answered wisely, He said“You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

And no one dared to question Him [any] further.

35

Whose Son Is the Christ?

(Matthew 22:41–46, Luke 20:41–44)

While [Jesus] was teaching in the temple [courts],[fn] [He] asked,“How {can} the scribes say that the Christ is [the] Son of David? 36Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared:

‘[The] Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at My right hand

until I put Your enemies

under Your feet.” ’[fn]

37

David himself calls Him‘Lord.’ So how can He be [David’s] son?”

And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38

Beware of the Scribes

(Luke 20:45–47)

In His teaching vvv [Jesus] also said,“Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, [to receive] greetings in the marketplaces, 39and [to have] the chief seats in the synagogues and [the] places of honor at banquets. 40They defraud widows [of their] houses,[fn] and for a show make lengthy prayers. These [men] will receive greater condemnation.”

41

The Widow’s Offering

(Luke 21:1–4)

As [Jesus] was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into [it]. And many rich [people] put in large amounts. 42Then one poor widow came [and] put [in] two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.[fn]

43

[Jesus] called His disciples {to Him} [and] said“Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the [others] into the treasury. 44For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put [in] all she had vvv vvv vvv to live on.”


12:11 Psalm 118:22–23

12:12 Literally they sought

12:15 A denarius was customarily a day’s wage for a laborer; see Matthew 20:2.

12:19 Deuteronomy 25:5

12:26 Exodus 3:6

12:30 Deuteronomy 6:4–5

12:31 Leviticus 19:18

12:35 Literally the temple

12:36 Psalm 110:1

12:40 Literally They devour widows’ houses

12:42 Greek put in two lepta, which is a kodrantēs; a lepton was a Jewish coin of bronze or copper worth about 1/128 of a denarius.
