Mark 12:7-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
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.'
17And Jesus said to them, 'Pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.' And they were utterly amazed at Him.
18Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) *came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,
19Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, his brother is to marry the wife and raise up children for his brother.
20There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children.
21The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;
22and so the seven together left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
23In the resurrection, which one’s wife will she be? For each of the seven had her as his wife.'
King James Version
Chapter 12
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.
17And 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.
18Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19Master, 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.
20Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

Chapter 12
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?"
18Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and questioned him:
19"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife behind but no child, that man should take the wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
20There were seven brothers. The first married a woman, and dying, left no offspring.
21The second also took her, and he died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise.
22None of the seven left offspring. Last of all, the woman died too.
23In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
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?
18Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees — religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question:
19Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.
20Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children.
21So the second brother married the widow, but he also died without children. Then the third brother married her.
22This continued with all seven of them, and still there were no children. Last of all, the woman also died.
23So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.'

He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10Have you not read this Scripture: "‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
11this was the Lord 's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?"
12And they were seeking to arrest him but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they left him and went away.
13And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk.
14And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone 's opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we 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."
17Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar 's, and to God the things that are God 's." And they marveled at him.
18And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying,
19"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man 's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
20There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring.
21And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise.
22And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.
23In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

10Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: " ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
11 the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’ ?"
13Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words.
14They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?
18Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
19"Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
20Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children.
21The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third.
22In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
23At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"

13Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.
14When they had come, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
18Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:

23Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”
