Mark 12:3-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
3And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. 4And again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. 5And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others. 6He had one more man to send, a beloved son; he sent him to them last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’ 8And they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the vine-growers to death, and give the vineyard to others.
10Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘A STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE;
11THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE Lord, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES’?'
13Then they *sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement.
14They came and *said to Him, 'Teacher, we know that You are truthful and do not care what anyone thinks; for You are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God in truth. Is it permissible to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?
15Are we to pay, or not pay?' But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, 'Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.'
16And they brought one. And He *said to them, 'Whose image and inscription is this?' And they said to Him, 'Caesar’s.'
King James Version
4And 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.
5And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
13And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14And 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?
15Shall 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.
16And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription And they said unto him, Caesar's.

Chapter 12
3But they took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. 4Again he sent another servant to them, and they hit him on the head and treated him shamefully. 5Then he sent another, and they killed that one. He also sent many others; some they beat, and others they killed. 6He still had one to send, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7But those tenant farmers said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8So they seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill the farmers and give the vineyard to others.
10Haven’t you read this Scripture: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
11 This came about from the Lord and is wonderful in our eyes?"
13Then they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to Jesus to trap him in his words.
14When they came, they said to him, "Teacher, we know you are truthful and don’t care what anyone thinks, nor do you show partiality but teach the way of God truthfully. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn’t we?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
3But the farmers grabbed the servant, beat him up, and sent him back empty-handed. 4The owner then sent another servant, but they insulted him and beat him over the head. 5The next servant he sent was killed. Others he sent were either beaten or killed, 6until there was only one left — his son whom he loved dearly. The owner finally sent him, thinking, ‘Surely they will respect my son.’
7But the tenant farmers said to one another, ‘Here comes the heir to this estate. Let’s kill him and get the estate for ourselves!’
8So they grabbed him and murdered him and threw his body out of the vineyard.
10Didn’t you ever read this in the Scriptures? ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.
11This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.’ '
13Later the leaders sent some Pharisees and supporters of Herod to trap Jesus into saying something for which he could be arrested.
14Teacher,' they said, 'we know how honest you are. You are impartial and don’t play favorites. You teach the way of God truthfully. Now tell us — is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

15But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."
16And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar 's."
