12:1 And 2532 he began 756 5662 to speak 3004 5721 unto them 846 by 1722 parables 3850. A [certain] man 444 planted 5452 5656 a vineyard 290, and 2532 set 4060 5656 an hedge about 5418 [it], and 2532 digged 3736 5656 [a place for] the winefat 5276, and 2532 built 3618 5656 a tower 4444, and 2532 let 1554 0 it 846 out 1554 5639 to husbandmen 1092, and 2532 went into a far country 589 5656.

12:2 And 2532 at the season 2540 he sent 649 5656 to 4314 the husbandmen 1092 a servant 1401, that 2443 he might receive 2983 5632 from 3844 the husbandmen 1092 of 575 the fruit 2590 of the vineyard 290.

12:3 And 1161 they caught 2983 5631 [him], and beat 1194 5656 him 846, and 2532 sent [him] away 649 5656 empty 2756.

12:4 And 2532 again 3825 he sent 649 5656 unto 4314 them 846 another 243 servant 1401; and at him 2548 they cast stones 3036 5660, and wounded [him] in the head 2775 5656, and 2532 sent [him] away 649 5656 shamefully handled 821 5772.

12:5 And 2532 again 3825 he sent 649 5656 another 243; and him 2548 they killed 615 5656, and 2532 many 4183 others 243; 3303 beating some 1194 5723, and 1161 killing some 615 5723.

12:6 Having 2192 5723 yet 2089 therefore 3767 one 1520 son 5207, his 846 wellbeloved 27, he sent 649 5656 him 846 also 2532 last 2078 unto 4314 them 846, saying 3004 5723, 3754 They will reverence 1788 5691 my 3450 son 5207.

12:7 But 1161 those 1565 husbandmen 1092 said 2036 5627 among 4314 themselves 1438, This 3754 3778 is 2076 5748 the heir 2818; come 1205 5773, let us kill 615 5725 him 846, and 2532 the inheritance 2817 shall be 2071 5704 ours 2257.

12:8 And 2532 they took 2983 5631 him 846, and killed 615 5656 [him], and 2532 cast 1544 5627 [him] out of 1854 the vineyard 290.

12:9 What 5101 shall 4160 0 therefore 3767 the lord 2962 of the vineyard 290 do 4160 5692? he will come 2064 5695 and 2532 destroy 622 5692 the husbandmen 1092, and 2532 will give 1325 5692 the vineyard 290 unto others 243.

12:10 And have ye 314 0 not 3761 read 314 5627 this 5026 scripture 1124; The stone 3037 which 3739 the builders 3618 5723 rejected 593 5656 is 3778 1096 5675 become 1519 the head 2776 of the corner 1137:

12:11 This 3778 was 1096 0 the Lord's 2962 doing 1096 5633 3844, and 2532 it is 2076 5748 marvellous 2298 in 1722 our 2257 eyes 3788?

12:12 And 2532 they sought 2212 5707 to lay hold 2902 5658 on him 846, but 2532 feared 5399 5675 the people 3793: for 1063 they knew 1097 5627 that 3754 he had spoken 2036 5627 the parable 3850 against 4314 them 846: and 2532 they left 863 5631 him 846, and went their way 565 5627.

12:13 And 2532 they send 649 5719 unto 4314 him 846 certain 5100 of the Pharisees 5330 and 2532 of the Herodians 2265, to 2443 catch 64 5661 him 846 in [his] words 3056.

12:14 And 1161 when they were come 2064 5631, they say 3004 5719 unto him 846, Master 1320, we know 1492 5758 that 3754 thou art 1488 5748 true 227, and 2532 4671 carest 3756 3199 5719 for 4012 no man 3762: for 1063 thou regardest 991 5719 not 3756 the person 1519 4383 of men 444, but 235 teachest 1321 5719 the way 3598 of God 2316 in 1909 truth 225: Is it lawful 1832 5748 to give 1325 5629 tribute 2778 to Caesar 2541, or 2228 not 3756?

12:15 Shall we give 1325 5632, or 2228 shall we not 3361 give 1325 5632? But 1161 he, knowing 1492 5761 their 846 hypocrisy 5272, said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Why 5101 tempt ye 3985 5719 me 3165? bring 5342 5720 me 3427 a penny 1220, that 2443 I may see 1492 5632 [it].(penny: valuing of our money seven pence halfpenny)

12:16 And 1161 they brought 5342 5656 [it]. And 2532 he saith 3004 5719 unto them 846, Whose 5101 [is] this 3778 image 1504 and 2532 superscription 1923? And 1161 they said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Caesar's 2541.

12:17 And 2532 Jesus 2424 answering 611 5679 said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Render 591 5628 to Caesar 2541 the things that are 3588 Caesar's 2541, and 2532 to God 2316 the things that are 3588 God's 2316. And 2532 they marvelled 2296 5656 at 1909 him 846.

12:18 Then 2532 come 2064 5736 unto 4314 him 846 the Sadducees 4523, which 3748 say 3004 5719 there is 1511 5750 no 3361 resurrection 386; and 2532 they asked 1905 5656 him 846, saying 3004 5723,

12:19 Master 1320, Moses 3475 wrote 1125 5656 unto us 2254, If 3754 1437 a man's 5100 brother 80 die 599 5632, and 2532 leave 2641 5632 [his] wife 1135 [behind him], and 2532 leave 863 5632 no 3361 children 5043, that 2443 his 846 brother 80 should take 2983 5632 his 846 wife 1135, and 2532 raise up 1817 5661 seed 4690 unto his 846 brother 80.

12:20 Now there were 2258 5713 seven 2033 brethren 80: and 2532 the first 4413 took 2983 5627 a wife 1135, and 2532 dying 599 5723 left 863 5656 no 3756 seed 4690.

12:21 And 2532 the second 1208 took 2983 5627 her 846, and 2532 died 599 5627, 2532 neither 3761 left 863 5656 he 846 any seed 4690: and 2532 the third 5154 likewise 5615.

12:22 And 2532 the seven 2033 had 2983 5627 her 846, and 2532 left 863 5656 no 3756 seed 4690: last 2078 of all 3956 the woman 1135 died 599 5627 also 2532.

12:23 In 1722 the resurrection 386 therefore 3767, when 3752 they shall rise 450 5632, whose 5101 wife 1135 shall she be 2071 5704 of them 846? for 1063 the seven 2033 had 2192 5627 her 846 to wife 1135.

12:24 And 2532 Jesus 2424 answering 611 5679 said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Do ye 4105 0 not 3756 therefore 1223 5124 err 4105 5743, because ye know 1492 5761 not 3361 the scriptures 1124, neither 3366 the power 1411 of God 2316?

12:25 For 1063 when 3752 they shall rise 450 5632 from 1537 the dead 3498, they neither 3777 marry 1060 5719, nor 3777 are given in marriage 1061 5743; but 235 are 1526 5748 as 5613 the angels 32 which 3588 are in 1722 heaven 3772.

12:26 And 1161 as touching 4012 the dead 3498, that 3754 they rise 1453 5743: have ye 314 0 not 3756 read 314 5627 in 1722 the book 976 of Moses 3475, how 5613 in 1909 the bush 942 God 2316 spake 2036 5627 unto him 846, saying 3004 5723, I 1473 [am] the God 2316 of Abraham 11, and 2532 the God 2316 of Isaac 2464, and 2532 the God 2316 of Jacob 2384?

12:27 He is 2076 5748 not 3756 the God 2316 of the dead 3498, but 235 the God 2316 of the living 2198 5723: ye 5210 therefore 3767 do 4105 0 greatly 4183 err 4105 5743.

12:28 And 2532 one 1520 of the scribes 1122 came 4334 5631, and having heard 191 5660 them 846 reasoning together 4802 5723, and perceiving 1492 5761 that 3754 he had answered 611 5662 them 846 well 2573, asked 1905 5656 him 846, Which 4169 is 2076 5748 the first 4413 commandment 1785 of all 3956?

12:29 And 1161 Jesus 2424 answered 611 5662 him 846, The 3754 first 4413 of all 3956 the commandments 1785 [is], Hear 191 5720, O Israel 2474; The Lord 2962 our 2257 God 2316 is 2076 5748 one 1520 Lord 2962:

12:30 And 2532 thou shalt love 25 5692 the Lord 2962 thy 4675 God 2316 with 1537 all 3650 thy 4675 heart 2588, and 2532 with 1537 all 3650 thy 4675 soul 5590, and 2532 with 1537 all 3650 thy 4675 mind 1271, and 2532 with 1537 all 3650 thy 4675 strength 2479: this 3778 [is] the first 4413 commandment 1785.

12:31 And 2532 the second 1208 [is] like 3664, [namely] this 3778 5625 846, Thou shalt love 25 5692 thy 4675 neighbour 4139 as 5613 thyself 4572. There is 2076 5748 none 3756 other 243 commandment 1785 greater 3187 than these 5130.

12:32 And 2532 the scribe 1122 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Well 2573, Master 1320, thou hast said 2036 5627 the 1909 truth 225: for 3754 there is 2076 5748 one 1520 God 2316; and 2532 there is 2076 5748 none 3756 other 243 but 4133 he 846:

12:33 And 2532 to love 25 5721 him 846 with 1537 all 3650 the heart 2588, and 2532 with 1537 all 3650 the understanding 4907, and 2532 with 1537 all 3650 the soul 5590, and 2532 with 1537 all 3650 the strength 2479, and 2532 to love 25 5721 [his] neighbour 4139 as 5613 himself 1438, is 2076 5748 more 4119 than all 3956 whole burnt offerings 3646 and 2532 sacrifices 2378.

12:34 And 2532 when Jesus 2424 saw 1492 5631 that 3754 he 846 answered 611 5662 discreetly 3562, he said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Thou art 1488 5748 not 3756 far 3112 from 575 the kingdom 932 of God 2316. And 2532 no man 3762 after that 3765 durst 5111 5707 ask 1905 5658 him 846 [any question].

12:35 And 2532 Jesus 2424 answered 611 5679 and said 3004 5707, while he taught 1321 5723 in 1722 the temple 2411, How 4459 say 3004 5719 the scribes 1122 that 3754 Christ 5547 is 2076 5748 the Son 5207 of David 1138?

12:36 For 1063 David 1138 himself 846 said 2036 5627 by 1722 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, The LORD 2962 said 2036 5627 to my 3450 Lord 2962, Sit thou 2521 5737 on 1537 my 3450 right hand 1188, till 2193 302 I make 5087 5632 thine 4675 enemies 2190 thy 4675 footstool 5286 4228.

12:37 David 1138 therefore 3767 himself 846 calleth 3004 5719 him 846 Lord 2962; and 2532 whence 4159 is he 2076 5748 [then] his 846 son 5207? And 2532 the common 4183 people 3793 heard 191 5707 him 846 gladly 2234.

12:38 And 2532 he said 3004 5707 unto them 846 in 1722 his 846 doctrine 1322, Beware 991 5720 of 575 the scribes 1122, which 3588 love 2309 5723 to go 4043 5721 in 1722 long clothing 4749, and 2532 [love] salutations 783 in 1722 the marketplaces 58,

12:39 And 2532 the chief seats 4410 in 1722 the synagogues 4864, and 2532 the uppermost rooms 4411 at 1722 feasts 1173:

12:40 Which devour 2719 5723 widows' 5503 houses 3614, and 2532 for a pretence 4392 make 4336 0 long 3117 prayers 4336 5740: these 3778 shall receive 2983 5695 greater 4055 damnation 2917.

12:41 And 2532 Jesus 2424 sat 2523 5660 over against 2713 the treasury 1049, and beheld 2334 5707 how 4459 the people 3793 cast 906 5719 money 5475 into 1519 the treasury 1049: and 2532 many 4183 that were rich 4145 cast in 906 5707 much 4183.(money: a piece of brass money)

12:42 And 2532 there came 2064 5631 a certain 3391 poor 4434 widow 5503, and she threw in 906 5627 two 1417 mites 3016, which make 3603 a farthing 2835.(mites: it is the seventh part of one piece of that brass money)

12:43 And 2532 he called 4341 5666 [unto him] his 846 disciples 3101, and saith 3004 5719 unto them 846, Verily 281 I say 3004 5719 unto you 5213, That 3754 this 3778 poor 4434 widow 5503 hath cast 906 0 more 4119 in 906 5758, than all 3956 they which have cast 906 5631 into 1519 the treasury 1049:

12:44 For 1063 all 3956 [they] did cast in 906 5627 of 1537 their 846 abundance 4052 5723; but 1161 she 3778 5625 846 of 1537 her 846 want 5304 did cast in 906 5627 all 3956 that 3745 she had 2192 5707, [even] all 3650 her 846 living 979.
