Liknelsen om de onda vingårdsarbetarna
12 Sedan började Jesus tala till dem i liknelser: "En man planterade en vingård. Han satte stängsel kring den, högg ut en vinpress[a] och byggde ett vakttorn. Därefter arrenderade han ut den till vingårdsarbetare och reste bort. 2 När tiden var inne, skickade han en tjänare till vingårdsarbetarna för att få sin del av vingårdens avkastning. 3 Men de tog fast honom, slog honom och skickade i väg honom tomhänt. 4 Då skickade han en annan tjänare till dem. Honom slog de i huvudet och hånade. 5 Sedan skickade han ännu en och honom dödade de. Han skickade också många andra. En del slog de, andra dödade de.
6 Ännu en hade han, en älskad son. Honom sände han till slut till dem. Han tänkte: De kommer att ha respekt för min son. 7 Men vingårdsarbetarna sade till varandra: Här har vi arvtagaren! Kom, låt oss döda honom, så blir arvet vårt. 8 Och de tog fast honom, dödade honom och kastade ut honom ur vingården. 9 Vad skall nu vingårdens herre göra? Han skall komma och döda vingårdsarbetarna och lämna vingården till andra.
10 Har ni inte läst det här stället i Skriften: Den sten som byggnadsarbetarna kastade bort har blivit en hörnsten. [b] 11 Herren har gjort detta, och underbar är den i våra ögon." 12 De hade nu velat gripa honom men vågade inte för folket. De förstod att det var med tanke på dem som han hade berättat liknelsen. Och de lämnade honom och gick sin väg.
Skatt till kejsaren
13 Sedan sände de till honom några fariseer och herodianer för att snärja honom genom något ord. 14 De kom till honom och sade: "Mästare, vi vet att du är trovärdig och inte tar parti för någon utan behandlar alla lika. Du ger en rätt undervisning om Guds väg.[c] Är det tillåtet att betala skatt till kejsaren eller är det inte tillåtet? Skall vi betala eller inte?" 15 Men Jesus förstod att de hycklade och sade till dem: "Varför försöker ni snärja mig? Ge mig ett mynt[d] och låt mig se på det." 16 De räckte fram ett, och han frågade dem: "Vems bild och inskrift är detta?" De svarade: "Kejsarens." 17 Då sade Jesus till dem: "Ge då kejsaren vad som tillhör kejsaren, och Gud vad som tillhör Gud." Och de förundrade sig över honom.
De dödas uppståndelse
18 Till Jesus kom också sadduceer - dessa påstår att det inte finns någon uppståndelse - och de frågade honom: 19 "Mästare, Mose har gett oss denna föreskrift: Om någon har en bror som dör och efterlämnar hustru men inga barn, då skall hans bror gifta sig med henne och skaffa barn åt sin bror. [e] 20 Nu fanns där sju bröder. Den förste gifte sig. Han dog utan att ha lämnat efter sig några barn. 21 Den andre gifte sig med henne, men också han dog barnlös. På samma sätt gick det med den tredje. 22 Ingen av de sju lämnade barn efter sig. Sist av alla dog kvinnan. 23 Vid uppståndelsen, när de uppstår, vem av dessa skall hon då vara hustru till? Alla sju var ju gifta med henne."
24 Jesus sade till dem: "Tar ni inte fel, just därför att ni inte förstår Skrifterna och inte heller Guds makt? 25 När de döda uppstår gifter de sig inte och blir inte bortgifta, utan de är som änglarna i himlen. 26 Men när det gäller de dödas uppståndelse, har ni då inte i Moses bok läst stället om törnbusken, hur Gud sade till Mose: Jag är Abrahams Gud och Isaks Gud och Jakobs Gud? [f] 27 Han är inte de dödas utan de levandes Gud. Ni misstar er fullständigt."
Det viktigaste budet
28 En av de skriftlärda som hörde dem diskutera fann att Jesus hade gett dem ett bra svar. Han kom fram till honom och frågade: "Vilket är det största av alla buden?" 29 Jesus svarade: "Det största är detta: Hör Israel! Herren, vår Gud, Herren är en,[g] 30 och du skall älska Herren din Gud av hela ditt hjärta, av hela din själ, av hela ditt förstånd och av hela din kraft. 31 Sedan kommer detta: Du skall älska din nästa som dig själv. [h] Inget annat bud är större än dessa." 32 Den skriftlärde sade: "Du har rätt, Mästare, det är sant som du säger. Han är en, och det finns ingen annan än han. 33 Och att älska honom av hela sitt hjärta och av hela sitt förstånd och av hela sin kraft och att älska sin nästa som sig själv, det är mer än alla brännoffer och andra offer." 34 När Jesus hörde att mannen hade svarat förståndigt, sade han till honom: "Du är inte långt från Guds rike." Sedan vågade ingen fråga honom längre.
Är Messias Davids son?
35 Då Jesus undervisade i templet frågade han: "Hur kan de skriftlärda säga att Messias är Davids son? 36 David har själv sagt genom den helige Ande: Herren sade till min Herre: Sätt dig på min högra sida, tills jag har lagt dina fiender under dina fötter. [i] 37 David kallar honom Herre. Hur kan Messias då vara Davids son?"[j] Den stora folkskaran lyssnade gärna på honom.
Jesus varnar för de skriftlärda
38 När Jesus undervisade sade han också: "Akta er för de skriftlärda, som tycker om att gå omkring i långa mantlar och bli hälsade på torgen 39 och sitta på de främsta platserna i synagogorna och få hedersplatserna vid festmåltiderna. 40 De äter änkorna ur husen och ursäktar sig med sina långa böner. De skall få en så mycket strängare dom."
Änkans offergåva
41 Jesus satte sig mitt emot offerkistan och såg hur folket lade pengar i den. Många rika gav mycket. 42 Där kom också en fattig änka och lade ner två små kopparmynt, några ören. 43 Då kallade han till sig sina lärjungar och sade till dem: "Amen säger jag er: Denna fattiga änka lade dit mer än alla de andra som lade något i offerkistan. 44 Ty alla gav de av sitt överflöd, men hon gav av sin fattigdom, allt vad hon hade att leva på."

Mark 12
English Standard Version
The Parable of the Tenants
12 (A)And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted (B)a vineyard (C)and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and (D)leased it to tenants and (E)went into another country. 2 When the season came, he sent a servant[a] to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 (F)And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 (G)Again (H)he sent to them another servant, and (I)they struck him on the head and (J)treated him shamefully. 5 (K)And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. 6 He had still one other, (L)a beloved son. (M)Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 But those tenants said to one another, (N)‘This is the heir. Come, (O)let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 And they took him and killed him and (P)threw him out of the vineyard. 9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? (Q)He will (R)come and destroy the tenants and (S)give the vineyard to others. 10 (T)Have you not read (U)this Scripture:
(V)“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;[b]
11 this was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 And (W)they were seeking to arrest him (X)but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they (Y)left him and went away.
Paying Taxes to Caesar
13 (Z)And they sent to him some of (AA)the Pharisees and some of (AB)the Herodians, to (AC)trap him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, “Teacher, (AD)we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For (AE)you are not swayed by appearances,[c] but truly teach (AF)the way of God. Is it lawful to pay (AG)taxes to (AH)Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” 15 But, knowing (AI)their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why (AJ)put me to the test? Bring me (AK)a denarius[d] and let me look at it.” 16 And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar's.” 17 Jesus said to them, (AL)“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him.
The Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection
18 And (AM)Sadducees came to him, (AN)who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that (AO)if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man[e] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22 And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”
24 Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because (AP)you know neither the Scriptures nor (AQ)the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither (AR)marry nor (AS)are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 And as for the dead being raised, (AT)have you not read in (AU)the book of Moses, in (AV)the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, (AW)‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.”
The Great Commandment
28 (AX)And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, (AY)‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, (AZ)the Lord is one. 30 And you 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.’ 31 (BA)The second is this: (BB)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment (BC)greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that (BD)he is one, and (BE)there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the heart and with all (BF)the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, (BG)is much more than all (BH)whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” (BI)And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Whose Son Is the Christ?
35 (BJ)And as (BK)Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that (BL)the Christ is the son of David? 36 David himself, (BM)in the Holy Spirit, declared,
(BN)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies (BO)under your feet.”’
37 David himself calls him Lord. So (BP)how is he his son?” And the great throng (BQ)heard him gladly.
Beware of the Scribes
38 (BR)And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39 and have the best seats in the synagogues and (BS)the places of honor at feasts, 40 (BT)who devour widows' houses and (BU)for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
The Widow's Offering
41 (BV)And he sat down opposite (BW)the treasury and watched the people (BX)putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two (BY)small copper coins, which make a penny.[f] 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, (BZ)this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her (CA)poverty has put in everything she had, all (CB)she had to live on.”

Mark 12
King James Version
12 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, 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 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 ours.'
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.
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 to wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto 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 which are in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto 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 neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none 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 neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto 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 Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine 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 unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence 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 unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
