馬可福音 12:12-13 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:1-12

The evil husbandmen. I. FAITHLESS TO GOD ; UNJUST TO MEN . If men do not know God, neither can they know those who are sent of him. The Pharisees were set against Jesus because he was the only living presentment of their own neglected duties to God. II. VIOLENCE FALLACIOUS TO THOSE WHO EMPLOY IT . The wicked husbandmen Blindly slay the emissary. It is of no avail. The Erinys, the fury, the avenging spirit of the dead man, will come back. The violence against... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 21:33-46 ; Luke 20:9-19 .— Parable of the vineyard. I. THE LORD 'S VINEYARD . A vineyard is often used in Scripture as an object of comparison. The heart is probably represented under this pleasing and beautiful image in the Song of Solomon, where it is written, "My mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept." God's ancient people are set forth under the same figure in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:12

The scribes and Pharisees knew, partly from the words of this psalm, and partly from the looks of Christ, that they were spoken against them. So they sought in their rage and malice to lay hold on him ; but they feared the people , with whom he was still popular. Thus, however, by his rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees, he prepared the way for that death which, within three days, they brought upon him. And the counsel of God was fulfilled for the redemption of men by the blood of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:13-14

St. Matthew ( Matthew 22:15 ) tells us that "the Pharisees took counsel how they might ensnare him ( ὅπως αὐτὸν παγιδεύσωσιν ) in his talk;" namely, by proposing to him captious and insidious questions, which, in whatever way he might answer them, might expose him to danger. On this occasion they enlisted the Heredians to join them in their attack upon him. These Herodians were a sect of the Jews who supported the house of Herod, and were in favor of giving tribute to the Roman... read more

Caesar's due. There could not have been a more decisive proof of the duplicity and hypocrisy of the Jewish leaders than that furnished by this incident. It is certain that they were opposed to the Roman sway, that they nursed in their hearts hopes of Jewish independence, that they would have eagerly welcomed such a Messiah as they looked for—one who should deliver them from the yoke of foreign bondage. Yet, in their malignity, they were ready to denounce Jesus to the Roman governor should... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:13-17

The politics of Christianity. Christ, in his visits to the temple, met with the various representatives of religious, ecclesiastical, and political opinion in Palestine. He is the center and touchstone of all. Their very attacks and dishonest questions were so many confessions of his moral and intellectual supremacy. To Christ do the different schools of thought and life amongst men still come, and the problems they raise can never be satisfactorily settled until he solves them. I. A ... read more

The tribute money. Unable to take him with their wicked hands, because they dared not, they send selected men from the Pharisees and the Herodians. They have instructions to lay a trap with a view "to catch him in talk." "In vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird." But these blind catchers thought him to be blind also. In specious words they ply him with a question relating to an oppressive tax. "If he held that payment should be refused, he would compromise himself with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:13-17

The dialectic of Jesus. I. DISHONEST SUBTLETY MATCHED BY CLEARSIGHTED WISDOM . We must be, if possible, "wise as serpents," but, above all, honest in purpose. It is the false tongue that stammers, and the fox-like cunning that entraps itself. II. VERBAL TRUTH MAY CONCEAL HEART FALSEHOOD . They spoke most truly to Jesus about himself, and yet most untruly. So of all words designed to flatter and deceive. There may be a divorce between the tongue and the heart. ... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 22:15-22 ; Luke 20:20-36 .— Question of the tribute money. I. A SNARE LAID . This tribute money ( κῆνσος )was the poll or capitation tax payable to the Roman Government, from the time Judaea became subject to the Roman power. Judas of Galilee headed a revolt against this tax, but perished with his followers. If our Lord allowed the lawfulness of paying tribute to Caesar, it would have compromised him with the Jewish nationalists, who would not... read more
