Mark 12

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

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 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.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Then, using this illustration, Jesus spoke to them. He said, "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, made a vat for the winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to vineyard workers and went on a trip.

2 "At the right time he sent a servant to the workers to collect from them a share of the grapes from the vineyard.

3 The workers took the servant, beat him, and sent him back with nothing.

4 So the man sent another servant to them. They hit the servant on the head and treated him shamefully.

5 The man sent another, and they killed that servant. Then he sent many other servants. Some of these they beat, and others they killed.

6 "He had one more person to send. That person was his son, whom he loved. Finally, he sent his son to them. He thought, 'They will respect my son.'

7 "But those workers said to one another, 'This is the heir. Let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

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

9 "What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the workers and give the vineyard to others.

10 Have you never read the Scripture passage: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11 The Lord has done this, and it is amazing for us to see'?"

12 They wanted to arrest him but were afraid of the crowd. They knew that he had directed this illustration at them. So they left him alone and went away.

13 The leaders sent some of the Pharisees and some of Herod's followers to Jesus. They wanted to trap him into saying the wrong thing.

14 When they came to him, they said, "Teacher, we know that you tell the truth. You don't favor individuals because of who they are. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. Is it right to pay taxes to the emperor or not? Should we pay taxes or not?"

15 Jesus recognized their hypocrisy, so he asked them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a coin so that I can look at it."

16 They brought a coin. He said to them, "Whose face and name is this?" They told him, "The emperor's."

17 Jesus said to them, "Give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God." They were surprised at his reply.

18 Some Sadducees, who say that people will never come back to life, came to Jesus. They asked him,

19 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If a man dies and leaves a wife but no child, his brother should marry his widow and have children for his brother.'

20 There were seven brothers. The first got married and died without having children.

21 The second married her and died without having children. So did the third.

22 None of the seven brothers had any children. Last of all, the woman died.

23 When the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her."

24 Jesus said to them, "Aren't you mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power?

25 When the dead come back to life, they don't marry. Rather, they are like the angels in heaven.

26 Haven't you read in the book of Moses that the dead come back to life? It's in the passage about the bush, where God said, 'I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.'

27 He's not the God of the dead but of the living. You're badly mistaken!"

28 One of the scribes went to Jesus during the argument with the Sadducees. He saw how well Jesus answered them, so he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of them all?"

29 Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the only Lord.

30 So love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

31 The second most important commandment is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."

32 The scribe said to Jesus, "Teacher, that was well said! You've told the truth that there is only one God and no other besides him!

33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as you love yourself is more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices."

34 When Jesus heard how wisely the man answered, he told the man, "You're not too far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one dared to ask him another question.

35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courtyard, he asked, "How can the scribes say that the Messiah is David's son?

36 David, guided by the Holy Spirit, said, 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Take the highest position in heaven until I put your enemies under your control."'

37 David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?" The large crowd enjoyed listening to him.

38 As he taught, he said, "Watch out for the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces,

39 and to have the front seats in synagogues and the places of honor at dinners.

40 They rob widows by taking their houses and then say long prayers to make themselves look good. The scribes will receive the most severe punishment."

41 As Jesus sat facing the temple offering box, he watched how [much] money people put into it. Many rich people put in large amounts.

42 A poor widow dropped in two small coins, worth less than a cent.

43 He called his disciples and said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: This poor widow has given more than all the others.

44 All of them have given what they could spare. But she, in her poverty, has given everything she had to live on."
