Mark 12:2-20
-
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 unto 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 wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto 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 shall be our's.
-
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
-
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto 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 marvellous 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 went their way.
-
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
-
14 And when they were come, they say unto 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 Caesar, or not?
-
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
-
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
-
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
-
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
-
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
-
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
