Mark 12

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then Jesus started telling them stories. "A man planted a vineyard. He fenced it, dug a winepress, erected a watchtower, turned it over to the farmhands, and went off on a trip.

2 At the time for harvest, he sent a servant back to the farmhands to collect his profits.

3 "They grabbed him, beat him up, and sent him off empty-handed.

4 So he sent another servant. That one they tarred and feathered.

5 He sent another and that one they killed. And on and on, many others. Some they beat up, some they killed.

6 "Finally there was only one left: a beloved son. In a last-ditch effort, he sent him, thinking, 'Surely they will respect my son.'

7 "But those farmhands saw their chance. They rubbed their hands together in greed and said, 'This is the heir! Let's kill him and have it all for ourselves.'

8 They grabbed him, killed him, and threw him over the fence.

9 "What do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? Right. He'll come and clean house. Then he'll assign the care of the vineyard to others.

10 Read it for yourselves in Scripture: That stone the masons threw out is now the cornerstone!

11 This is God's work; we rub our eyes - we can hardly believe it!"

12 They wanted to lynch him then and there but, intimidated by public opinion, held back. They knew the story was about them. They got away from there as fast as they could. Paying Taxes to Caesar

13 They sent some Pharisees and followers of Herod to bait him, hoping to catch him saying something incriminating.

14 They came up and said, "Teacher, we know you have integrity, that you are indifferent to public opinion, don't pander to your students, and teach the way of God accurately. Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

15 He knew it was a trick question, and said, "Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it."

16 They handed him one. "This engraving - who does it look like? And whose name is on it?" "Caesar," they said.

17 Jesus said, "Give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his." Their mouths hung open, speechless.

18 Some Sadducees, the party that denies any possibility of resurrection, came up and asked,

19 "Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man dies and leaves a wife but no child, his brother is obligated to marry the widow and have children.

20 Well, there once were seven brothers. The first took a wife. He died childless.

21 The second married her. He died, and still no child. The same with the third.

22 All seven took their turn, but no child. Finally the wife died.

23 When they are raised at the resurrection, whose wife is she? All seven were her husband."

24 Jesus said, "You're way off base, and here's why: One, you don't know your Bibles; two, you don't know how God works.

25 After the dead are raised up, we're past the marriage business. As it is with angels now, all our ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God.

26 And regarding the dead, whether or not they are raised, don't you ever read the Bible? How God at the bush said to Moses, 'I am - not was - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

27 The living God is God of the living, not the dead. You're way, way off base."

28 One of the religion scholars came up. Hearing the lively exchanges of question and answer and seeing how sharp Jesus was in his answers, he put in his question: "Which is most important of all the commandments?"

29 Jesus said, "The first in importance is, 'Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one;

30 so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.'

31 And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these."

32 The religion scholar said, "A wonderful answer, Teacher! So lucid and accurate - that God is one and there is no other.

33 And loving him with all passion and intelligence and energy, and loving others as well as you love yourself. Why, that's better than all offerings and sacrifices put together!"

34 When Jesus realized how insightful he was, he said, "You're almost there, right on the border of God's kingdom." After that, no one else dared ask a question.

35 While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it that the religion scholars say that the Messiah is David's 'son,'

36 when we all know that David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said, God said to my Master, "Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."

37 "David here designates the Messiah 'my Master' - so how can the Messiah also be his 'son'?" The large crowd was delighted with what they heard.

38 He continued teaching. "Watch out for the religion scholars. They love to walk around in academic gowns, preening in the radiance of public flattery,

39 basking in prominent positions, sitting at the head table at every church function.

40 And all the time they are exploiting the weak and helpless. The longer their prayers, the worse they get. But they'll pay for it in the end."

41 Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions.

42 One poor widow came up and put in two small coins - a measly two cents.

43 Jesus called his disciples over and said, "The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together.

44 All the others gave what they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford - she gave her all."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et coepit illis in parabolis loqui vineam pastinavit homo et circumdedit sepem et fodit lacum et aedificavit turrem et locavit eam agricolis et peregre profectus est

2 et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineae

3 qui adprehensum eum ceciderunt et dimiserunt vacuum

4 et iterum misit ad illos alium servum et illum capite vulneraverunt et contumeliis adfecerunt

5 et rursum alium misit et illum occiderunt et plures alios quosdam caedentes alios vero occidentes

6 adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum et illum misit ad eos novissimum dicens quia reverebuntur filium meum

7 coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem hic est heres venite occidamus eum et nostra erit hereditas

8 et adprehendentes eum occiderunt et eiecerunt extra vineam

9 quid ergo faciet dominus vineae veniet et perdet colonos et dabit vineam aliis

10 nec scripturam hanc legistis lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli

11 a Domino factum est istud et est mirabile in oculis nostris

12 et quaerebant eum tenere et timuerunt turbam cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit et relicto eo abierunt

13 et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex Pharisaeis et Herodianis ut eum caperent in verbo

14 qui venientes dicunt ei magister scimus quoniam verax es et non curas quemquam nec enim vides in faciem hominis sed in veritate viam Dei doces licet dari tributum Caesari an non dabimus

15 qui sciens versutiam eorum ait illis quid me temptatis adferte mihi denarium ut videam

16 at illi adtulerunt et ait illis cuius est imago haec et inscriptio dicunt illi Caesaris

17 respondens autem Iesus dixit illis reddite igitur quae sunt Caesaris Caesari et quae sunt Dei Deo et mirabantur super eo

18 et venerunt ad eum Sadducaei qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse et interrogabant eum dicentes

19 magister Moses nobis scripsit ut si cuius frater mortuus fuerit et dimiserit uxorem et filios non reliquerit accipiat frater eius uxorem ipsius et resuscitet semen fratri suo

20 septem ergo fratres erant et primus accepit uxorem et mortuus est non relicto semine

21 et secundus accepit eam et mortuus est et nec iste reliquit semen et tertius similiter

22 et acceperunt eam similiter septem et non reliquerunt semen novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier

23 in resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint cuius de his erit uxor septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem

24 et respondens Iesus ait illis non ideo erratis non scientes scripturas neque virtutem Dei

25 cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint neque nubent neque nubentur sed sunt sicut angeli in caelis

26 de mortuis autem quod resurgant non legistis in libro Mosi super rubum quomodo dixerit illi Deus inquiens ego sum Deus Abraham et Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob

27 non est Deus mortuorum sed vivorum vos ergo multum erratis

28 et accessit unus de scribis qui audierat illos conquirentes et videns quoniam bene illis responderit interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum

29 Iesus autem respondit ei quia primum omnium mandatum est audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Deus unus est

30 et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota mente tua et ex tota virtute tua hoc est primum mandatum

31 secundum autem simile illi diliges proximum tuum tamquam te ipsum maius horum aliud mandatum non est

32 et ait illi scriba bene magister in veritate dixisti quia unus est et non est alius praeter eum

33 et ut diligatur ex toto corde et ex toto intellectu et ex tota anima et ex tota fortitudine et diligere proximum tamquam se ipsum maius est omnibus holocaustomatibus et sacrificiis

34 Iesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset dixit illi non es longe a regno Dei et nemo iam audebat eum interrogare

35 et respondens Iesus dicebat docens in templo quomodo dicunt scribae Christum Filium esse David

36 ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum

37 ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum et unde est filius eius et multa turba eum libenter audivit

38 et dicebat eis in doctrina sua cavete a scribis qui volunt in stolis ambulare et salutari in foro

39 et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis et primos discubitus in cenis

40 qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixae orationis hii accipient prolixius iudicium

41 et sedens Iesus contra gazofilacium aspiciebat quomodo turba iactaret aes in gazofilacium et multi divites iactabant multa

42 cum venisset autem una vidua pauper misit duo minuta quod est quadrans

43 et convocans discipulos suos ait illis amen dico vobis quoniam vidua haec pauper plus omnibus misit qui miserunt in gazofilacium

44 omnes enim ex eo quod abundabat illis miserunt haec vero de penuria sua omnia quae habuit misit totum victum suum
