Chapter 12

¹ AND he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.
² And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
³ Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.
⁵ And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.
⁶ Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.
⁷ But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.
⁸ And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
⁹ What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.
¹⁰ And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
¹¹ By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
¹² And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way.
¹³ And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians; that they should catch him in his words.
¹⁴ Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar; or shall we not give it?
¹⁵ Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? bring me a penny that I may see it.
¹⁶ And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's.
¹⁷ And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
¹⁸ And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:
¹⁹ Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
²⁰ Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.
²¹ And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.
²² And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.
²³ In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
²⁴ And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
²⁵ For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.
²⁶ And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.
²⁸ And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.
²⁹ And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
³¹ And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
³² And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.
³³ And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
³⁴ And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
³⁵ And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David?
³⁶ For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
³⁷ David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
³⁸ And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace,
³⁹ And to sit in the first chairs, in the synagogues, and to have the highest places at suppers:
⁴⁰ Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer: these shall receive greater judgment.
⁴¹ And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much.
⁴² And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
⁴³ And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.
⁴⁴ For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.

Chapter 12

¹ 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.
² And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
³ And they caught him, and beat him and sent him away empty.
⁴ 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.
⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
⁶ Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.
⁷ But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
⁸ And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
⁹ What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
¹⁰ And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
¹¹ This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
¹² 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.
¹³ And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
¹⁴ 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?
¹⁵ 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.
¹⁶ And they brought it: and he saith to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said to him, Cesar's.
¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ Then come to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
²¹ And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
²² And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
²³ In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her for a wife.
²⁴ And Jesus answering, said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
²⁵ For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven.
²⁶ And concerning the dead that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
²⁸ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
²⁹ And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.
³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
³¹ And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: there is no other commandment greater than these.
³² And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he.
³³ And 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 his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
³⁴ And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
³⁵ And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
³⁶ For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
³⁷ David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? and the common people heard him gladly.
³⁸ And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market-places,
³⁹ And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
⁴⁰ Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
⁴¹ And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
⁴² And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
⁴³ And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more, than all they who have cast into the treasury.
⁴⁴ For all they cast in of their abundance: but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Chapter 12

¹ 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.
² it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
³ took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
⁴ he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
⁵ he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
⁶ still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
⁷ those farmers said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
⁸ took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
⁹ therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
¹⁰ you even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.
¹¹ was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes'?"
¹² 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.
¹³ sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
¹⁴ 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?
¹⁵ 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."
¹⁶ brought it. He said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?" They said to him, "Caesar's."
¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,
¹⁹ 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.'
²⁰ were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
²¹ second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
²² the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
²³ the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife."
²⁴ answered them, "Isn't this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
²⁵ when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
²⁶ about the dead, that they are raised; haven't you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
²⁷ is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."
²⁸ of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the greatest of all?"
²⁹ answered, "The greatest is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:
³⁰ 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.' This is the first commandment.
³¹ second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
³² scribe said to him, "Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,
³³ to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
³⁴ Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one dared ask him any question after that.
³⁵ responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
³⁶ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."'
³⁷ David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?" The common people heard him gladly.
³⁸ his teaching he said to them, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
³⁹ the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts:
⁴⁰ who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
⁴¹ sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
⁴² poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
⁴³ called his disciples to himself, and said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
⁴⁴ they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."

Chapter 12

¹ And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard, and made a fence round [it] and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
² And he sent a bondman to the husbandmen at the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
³ But they took him, and beat [him], and sent [him] away empty.
⁴ And again he sent to them another bondman; and [at] him they [threw stones, and] struck [him] on the head, and sent [him] away with insult.
⁵ And [again] he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
⁶ Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.
⁷ But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours.
⁸ And they took him and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
⁹ What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
¹⁰ Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone:
¹¹ this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
¹² And they sought to lay hold of him, and they feared the crowd; for they knew that he had spoken the parable of them. And they left him and went away.
¹³ And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in speaking.
¹⁴ And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not men's person, but teachest the way of God with truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
¹⁵ Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see [it].
¹⁶ And they brought [it]. And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
¹⁷ And Jesus answering said to them, Pay what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God. And they wondered at him.
¹⁸ And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying,
¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
²⁰ There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;
²¹ and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.
²² And the seven [took her and] did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.
²³ In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?
²⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
²⁵ For when they rise from among [the] dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels [who are] in the heavens.
²⁶ But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the section of] the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, *I* [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
²⁷ He is not the God of [the] dead, but of [the] living. *Ye* therefore greatly err.
²⁸ And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is [the] first commandment of all?
²⁹ And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord;
³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is [the] first commandment.
³¹ And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.
³² And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to [the] truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him;
³³ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
³⁴ And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more.
³⁵ And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
³⁶ [for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.
³⁷ David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.
³⁸ And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
³⁹ and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
⁴⁰ who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
⁴¹ And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much.
⁴² And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
⁴³ And having called his disciples to [him] he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:
⁴⁴ for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.

³¹ The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Chapter 12

¹ And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.
² And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.
³ And they took him, and gave him blows, and sent him away with nothing.
⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and they gave him wounds on the head, and were very cruel to him.
⁵ And he sent another; and they put him to death: and a number of others, whipping some, and putting some to death.
⁶ He still had one, a dearly loved son: he sent him last to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.
⁷ But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.
⁸ And they took him and put him to death, pushing his body out of the garden.
⁹ What then will the master of the garden do? He will come and put the workmen to death, and will give the garden into the hands of others.
¹⁰ Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:
¹¹ This was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?
¹² And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.
¹³ Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick.
¹⁴ And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?
¹⁵ Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.
¹⁶ And they gave him one. And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it? And they said to him, Caesar's.
¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.
¹⁸ And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,
¹⁹ Master, in the law Moses says, If a man's brother comes to his end, and has a wife still living and no child, it is right for his brother to take his wife, and get a family for his brother.
²⁰ There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and at his death there were no offspring;
²¹ And the second took her, and at his death there were no offspring; and the third the same:
²² And all the seven had no seed. Last of all the woman herself came to her death.
²³ In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.
²⁴ Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?
²⁵ When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.
²⁶ But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you are greatly in error.
²⁸ And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?
²⁹ Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;
³⁰ And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
³¹ The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.
³² And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:
³³ And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.
³⁴ And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.
³⁵ And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
³⁶ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.
³⁷ David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.
³⁸ And in his teaching he said, Be on your watch against the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes and be respected in the market-places,
³⁹ And to have the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;
⁴⁰ Who take away the property of widows, and before the eyes of men make long prayers; these will be judged more hardly.
⁴¹ And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.
⁴² And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.
⁴³ And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:
⁴⁴ Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.
