NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Mark 12

Parable of the Vine-growers

1

 aAnd He begang757 to speakg2980 to them in parablesg3850b: bA mang444  cPLANTEDg5452 A VINEYARDg290 AND PUTg4060 A  1WALLg5418 AROUNDg4060 IT, AND DUGg3736 A VATg5276 UNDERg5276 THE WINEg5276 PRESSg5276 AND BUILTg3618 A TOWERg4444, and rentedg1554 it out to  2vine-growersg1092 and wentg589 on a journeyg589.

2

"At the harvest timeg2540 he sentg649 a slaveg1401 to the vine-growersg1092, in orderg2443 to receiveg2983 some of the produceg2590 of the vineyardg290 from the vine-growersg1092.

3

"They tookg2983 him, and beatg1194 him and sentg649 him awayg649 empty-handedg2756.

4

"Againg3825 he sentg649 them anotherg243 slaveg1401, and they woundedg2775 him in the headg2775, and treatedg718 him shamefullyg818.

5

"And he sentg649 anotherg243, and that oneg2548 they killedg615; and so with manyg4183 othersg243, beatingg1194 someg3739g3303a and killingg615 othersg3739g1161.

6

"He hadg2192 oneg1520 moreg2089 to send, a belovedg27 song5207; he sentg649 him lastg2078 of all to them, sayingg3004, `They will respectg1788 my song5207.'

7

"But thoseg1565 vine-growersg1092 saidg3004 to oneg1438 anotherg1438, `Thisg3778 is the heirg2818; comeg1205, let us killg615 him, and the inheritanceg2817 will be oursg1473!'

8

"They tookg2983 him, and killedg615 him and threwg1544b him out of the vineyardg290.

9

"Whatg5101 will the  1ownerg2962 of the vineyardg290 dog4160? He will comeg2064 and destroyg622 the vine-growersg1092, and will giveg1325 the vineyardg290 to othersg243.

10

"Have you not eveng3761 readg314 thisg3778 Scriptureg1124: aTHE STONEg3037 WHICHg3739 THE BUILDERSg3618 REJECTEDg593, THISg3778 BECAMEg1096 THE CHIEFg2776 CORNERg1137 stone;

11

 aTHISg3778 CAMEg1096 ABOUT FROM THE LORDg2962, AND IT IS MARVELOUSg2298 IN OUR EYESg3788'?"

12

 aAnd they were seekingg2212 to seizeg2902 Him, and yet they fearedg5399 the  1peopleg3793, for they understoodg1097 that He spokeg3004 the parableg3850b againstg4314 them. And so  bthey leftg863 Him and wentg565 awayg565.

Jesus Answers the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes

13

 aTheng2532 they *sentg649 someg5100 of the Phariseesg5330 and  bHerodiansg2265 to Him in orderg2443 to  ctrapg64 Him in a statementg3056.

14

They *cameg2064 and *saidg3004 to Him, "Teacherg1320, we knowg3609a that You are truthfulg227 and  1deferg3199 to nog3762 oneg3762; for You are not partialg991g4383 to anyg444, but teachg1321 the wayg3598 of Godg2316 in truthg225. Is it  2lawfulg1832 to payg1325 a poll-taxg2778b to Caesarg2541, org2228 not?

15

"Shall we payg1325 org2228 shall we not payg1325?" But He, knowingg3609a their hypocrisyg5272, saidg3004 to them, "Whyg5101 are you testingg3985 Me? Bringg5342 Me a  1denariusg1220 to lookg3708 at."

16

They broughtg5342 one. And He *saidg3004 to them, "Whoseg5101 likenessg1504 and inscriptiong1923 is thisg3778?" And they saidg3004 to Him, "Caesar'sg2541."

17

And Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, aRenderg591 to Caesarg2541 the things that are Caesar'sg2541, and to Godg2316 the things that are God'sg2316." And they  1were amazedg1569b at Him.

18

 aSome Sadduceesg4523 (whog3748 sayg3004 that there is nog3361 resurrectiong386) *cameg2064 to Jesus, and began questioningg1905 Him, sayingg3004,

19

"Teacherg1320, Mosesg3475 wroteg1125 for us that  aIFg1437 A MAN'Sg5100 BROTHERg80 DIESg599 and leavesg2641 behindg2641 a wifeg1135 AND LEAVESg863 NOg3361 CHILDg5043, HIS BROTHERg80 SHOULD  1MARRYg2983 THE WIFEg1135 AND RAISEg1817 UP CHILDRENg4690 TO HIS BROTHERg80.

20

"There were seveng2033 brothersg80; and the firstg4413 tookg2983 a wifeg1135, and diedg599 leavingg863 nog3756 childreng4690.

21

"The secondg1208 oneg1208  1marriedg2983 her, and diedg599 leavingg2641 behindg2641 nog3361 childreng4690; and the thirdg5154 likewiseg5615;

22

and so  1allg3588 seveng2033 leftg863 nog3756 childreng4690. Lastg2078 of allg3956 the womang1135 diedg599 alsog2532.

23

"In the resurrectiong386,  1wheng3752 they riseg450 againg450, whichg5101 one'sg846 wifeg1135 will she be? For  2allg3588 seveng2033 hadg2192 married her."

24

Jesusg2424 saidg5346 to them, "Is thisg3778 not the reasong1223 you are mistakeng4105, that you do not  1understandg3609a the Scripturesg1124 org3366 the powerg1411 of Godg2316?

25

"For wheng3752 they riseg450 from the deadg3498, they neitherg3777 marryg1060 norg3777 are giveng1061a in marriageg1061a, but are likeg5613 angelsg32a in heaveng3772.

26

"But  1regardingg4012 the factg3754 that the deadg3498 riseg1453 againg1453, have you not readg314 in the bookg976 of Mosesg3475,  ain the passage aboutg1909 the burning bushg942, howg4459 Godg2316 spokeg3004 to him, sayingg3004, ` bI AM THE GODg2316 OF ABRAHAMg11, AND THE GODg2316 OF ISAACg2464, and the Godg2316 of Jacobg2384'?

27

aHe is not the Godg2316  1of the deadg3498, but of the livingg2198; you are greatlyg4183 mistakeng4105."

28

 aOneg1520 of the scribesg1122 cameg4334 and heardg191 them arguingg4802, and  brecognizingg3708 that He had answeredg611 them wellg2573, askedg1905 Him, "Whatg4169 commandmentg1785 is the  1foremostg4413 of allg3956?"

29

Jesusg2424 answeredg611, "The foremostg4413 is, ` aHEARg191, O ISRAELg2474! THE LORDg2962 OUR GODg2316 IS ONEg1520 LORDg2962;

30

 aAND YOU SHALL LOVEg25 THE LORDg2962 YOUR GODg2316 WITH ALLg3650 YOUR HEARTg2588, AND WITH ALLg3650 YOUR SOULg5590, AND WITH ALLg3650 YOUR MINDg1271, AND WITH ALLg3650 YOUR STRENGTHg2479.'

31

"The secondg1208 is thisg3778, ` aYOU SHALL LOVEg25 YOUR NEIGHBORg4139 AS YOURSELFg4572.' There is nog3756 otherg243 commandmentg1785 greaterg3173 than theseg3778."

32

The scribeg1122 saidg3004 to Him, "Rightg2573, Teacherg1320; You have trulyg1909g225 statedg3004 that  aHE IS ONEg1520, AND THERE IS NOg3756 ONEg243 ELSEg243 BESIDESg4133 HIM;

33

 aAND TO LOVEg25 HIM WITH ALLg3650 THE HEARTg2588 AND WITH ALLg3650 THE UNDERSTANDINGg4907 AND WITH ALLg3650 THE STRENGTHg2479, AND TO LOVEg25 ONE'S NEIGHBORg4139 AS HIMSELFg1438,  bis muchg4053 moreg4053 than allg3956 burntg3646 offeringsg3646 and sacrificesg2378."

34

When Jesusg2424 sawg3708 that he had answeredg611 intelligentlyg3562, He saidg3004 to him, "You are not farg3112 from the kingdomg932 of Godg2316."  aAfter that, nog3762 oneg3762 would ventureg5111 to askg1905 Him anyg3765 moreg3765 questionsg1905.

35

 aAnd Jesusg2424 began to sayg3004, as He  btaughtg1321 in the templeg2413, "Howg4459 is it that the scribesg1122 sayg3004 that  1the Christg5547 is the  csong5207 of Davidg1160b?

36

"Davidg1160b himselfg846 saidg3004  1in the Holyg40 Spiritg4151, aTHE LORDg2962 SAIDg3004 TO MY LORDg2962, "SITg2521 AT MY RIGHTg1188 HANDg1188, UNTILg2193 I PUTg5087 YOUR ENEMIESg2190 BENEATHg5270 YOUR FEETg4228."'

37

"Davidg1160b himselfg846 callsg3004 Him `Lordg2962'; sog2532 in whatg4159 senseg4159 is He his song5207?" And  athe largeg4183 crowdg3793  1enjoyedg2234 listeningg191 to Him.

38

 aIn His teachingg1322 He was sayingg3004: "Bewareg991 of the scribesg1122 who likeg2309 to walkg4043 aroundg4043 in longg4749 robesg4749, and like  brespectful greetingsg783 in the marketg58 placesg58,

39

and chiefg4410 seatsg4410 in the synagoguesg4864 and placesg4411 of honorg4411 at banquetsg1173,

40

 awho devourg2719 widows'g5503 housesg3614, and for appearance'sg4392 sakeg4392 offerg4336 longg3117 prayersg4336; theseg3778 will receiveg2983 greaterg4053 condemnationg2917."

The Widow's Mite

41

 aAnd He satg2523 downg2523 oppositeg2713  bthe treasuryg1049, and began observingg2334 howg4459 the peopleg4145 were  cputtingg906  1moneyg5475 into the treasuryg1049; and manyg4183 richg4145 peopleg4145 were puttingg906 in largeg4183 sumsg4183.

42

A poorg4434 widowg5503 cameg2064 and putg906 in twog1417  1smallg3016 copperg3016 coinsg3016, whichg3739 amountg1510 to a  2centg2835.

43

Callingg4341 His disciplesg3101 to Him, He saidg3004 to them, "Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you, thisg3778 poorg4434 widowg5503 putg906 in moreg4183 than allg3956  1the contributorsg906 to the treasuryg1049;

44

for they allg3956 putg906 in out of their  1surplusg4052, but she, out of her povertyg5304, putg906 in allg3956g3745 she ownedg2192,  2allg3650 she had  ato liveg979 on."
