<h3>Parable of the Vine-growers</h3>12 And He began to speak to them in parables: <woj>“ A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it, and dug a vat under the wine press and built a tower, and leased it to vine-growers and went on a journey.</woj> 2 <woj>And at the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive his share of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.</woj> 3 <woj>And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.</woj> 4 <woj>And again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.</woj> 5 <woj>And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.</woj> 6 <woj>He had one more man to send, a beloved son; he sent him to them last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’</woj> 7 <woj>But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’</woj> 8 <woj>And they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.</woj> 9 <woj>What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the vine-growers to death, and give the vineyard to others.</woj> 10 <woj>Have you not even read this Scripture:</woj><poetry><woj>‘ A stone which the builders rejected,</woj> <woj>This has become the chief cornerstone;</woj> 11 <poetry><woj> This came about from the Lord,</woj> <woj>And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”</woj></poetry> 12 And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the people, for they understood that He told the parable against them. And so they left Him and went away. <h3>Jesus Answers the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes</h3> 13 Then they *sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement. 14 They 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? 15 Are we to pay, or not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, <woj>“Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.”</woj> 16 And they brought one. And He *said to them, <woj>“Whose image and inscription is this?”</woj> And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.” 17 And Jesus said to them, <woj>“ Pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”</woj> And they were utterly amazed at Him. 18 Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) *came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying, 19 “Teacher, 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. 20 There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children. 21 The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise; 22 and so the seven together left no children. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, which one’s wife will she be? For each of the seven had her as his wife.” 24 Jesus said to them, <woj>“Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God?</woj> 25 <woj>For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.</woj> 26 <woj>But regarding the fact that the dead rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘ I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?</woj> 27 <woj> He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.”</woj> 28 One of the scribes came up and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “What commandment is the foremost of all?” 29 Jesus answered, <woj>“The foremost is, ‘ Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one;</woj> 30 <woj> and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’</woj> 31 <woj>The second is this: ‘ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”</woj> 32 And the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher; You have truly stated that He is One, and there is no other besides Him; 33 and to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, <woj>“You are not far from the kingdom of God.”</woj> And then, no one dared any longer to question Him. 35 And Jesus responded and began saying, as He taught in the temple area, <woj>“How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?</woj> 36 <woj>David himself said in the Holy Spirit,</woj><poetry><woj>‘ The Lord said to my Lord,</woj> <woj>“Sit at My right hand,</woj> <woj>Until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’</woj></poetry> 37 <woj>David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?”</woj> And the large crowd enjoyed listening to Him. 38 And in His teaching He was saying: <woj>“Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like personal greetings in the marketplaces,</woj> 39 <woj>and seats of honor in the synagogues, and places of honor at banquets,</woj> 40 <woj> who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive all the more condemnation.”</woj> <h3>The Widow’s Coins</h3> 41 And Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and began watching how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large amounts. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two lepta coins, which amount to a quadrans. 43 Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, <woj>“Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;</woj> 44 <woj>for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”</woj>

Mark 12:1

<cr>1</cr>And He began to speak to them in parables: <woj>“<cr>2</cr>A man <cr>3</cr>planted a vineyard and put a <ft>1</ft>fence around it, and dug a vat under the wine press and built a tower, and leased it to <ft>2</ft>vine-growers and went on a journey.</woj>

<woj>And at the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive his share of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.</woj>

Mark 12:2

<woj>And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.</woj>

Mark 12:3

<woj>And again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.</woj>

Mark 12:4

<woj>And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.</woj>

Mark 12:5

<woj>He had one more man to send, a beloved son; he sent him to them last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’</woj>

Mark 12:6

<woj>But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’</woj>

<woj>And they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.</woj>

Mark 12:8

<woj>What will the <ft>1</ft>owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the vine-growers to death, and give the vineyard to others.</woj>

Jesus Answers the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes

Mark 12:13

<cr>1</cr>Then they *sent some of the Pharisees and <cr>2</cr>Herodians to Him in order to <cr>3</cr>trap Him in a statement.

They came and *said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and <ft>1</ft>do not care what anyone thinks; for You <ft>2</ft>are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God in truth. Is it <ft>3</ft>permissible to pay a <ft>4</ft>poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

Mark 12:14

Are we to pay, or not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, <woj>“Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a <ft>1</ft>denarius to look at.”</woj>

Mark 12:15

And they brought one. And He *said to them, <woj>“Whose image and inscription is this?”</woj> And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

Mark 12:16

And Jesus said to them, <woj>“<cr>1</cr>Pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”</woj> And they were utterly amazed at Him.

Mark 12:17

<cr>1</cr>Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) *came to <ft>1</ft>Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,

Mark 12:18

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that <cr>1</cr>if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, his brother is to <ft>1</ft>marry the wife and raise up <ft>2</ft>children for his brother.

Mark 12:19

There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children.

Mark 12:20

The second one <ft>1</ft>married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;

Mark 12:21

and so the seven together left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

Mark 12:22

In the resurrection, which one’s wife will she be? For each of the seven had her as his wife.”

Mark 12:23

Jesus said to them, <woj>“Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not <ft>1</ft>understand the Scriptures nor the power of God?</woj>

Mark 12:24

<woj>For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.</woj>

Mark 12:25

<woj>But <ft>1</ft>regarding the fact that the dead rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, <cr>1</cr>in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘<cr>2</cr>I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?</woj>

Mark 12:26

<woj><cr>1</cr>He is not the God <ft>1</ft>of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.”</woj>

Mark 12:27

<cr>1</cr>One of the scribes came up and heard them arguing, and <cr>2</cr>recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “What commandment is the <ft>1</ft>foremost of all?”

Mark 12:28

Jesus answered, <woj>“The <ft>1</ft>foremost is, ‘<cr>1</cr>Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one;</woj>

Mark 12:29

<woj><cr>1</cr>and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’</woj>

Mark 12:30

<woj>The second is this: ‘<cr>1</cr>You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”</woj>

Mark 12:31

And the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher; You have truly stated that <cr>1</cr>He is One, and there is no other besides Him;

Mark 12:32

<cr>1</cr>and to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, <cr>2</cr>is much more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Mark 12:33

When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, <woj>“You are not far from the kingdom of God.”</woj><cr>1</cr>And then, no one dared any longer to question Him.

Mark 12:34

<cr>1</cr>And Jesus responded and began saying, as He <cr>2</cr>taught in the temple area, <woj>“How is it that the scribes say that the <ft>1</ft>Christ is the <cr>3</cr>son of David?</woj>

Mark 12:35

<woj>David himself said <ft>1</ft>in the Holy Spirit,</woj><pb/><poetry><woj>‘<cr>1</cr>The Lord said to my Lord,</woj> <woj>“Sit at My right hand,</woj> <woj>Until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’</woj></poetry>

Mark 12:36

<woj>David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?”</woj> And <cr>1</cr>the large crowd <ft>1</ft>enjoyed listening to Him.

Mark 12:37

<cr>1</cr>And in His teaching He was saying: <woj>“Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like<cr>2</cr>personal greetings in the marketplaces,</woj>

Mark 12:38

<woj>and seats of honor in the synagogues, and places of honor at banquets,</woj>

Mark 12:39

<woj><cr>1</cr>who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive all the more condemnation.”</woj>

Mark 12:40

Mark 12:41

<cr>1</cr>And Jesus sat down opposite <cr>2</cr>the treasury, and began watching how the <ft>1</ft>people were <cr>3</cr>putting <ft>2</ft>money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large amounts.

And a poor widow came and put in two <ft>1</ft>lepta coins, which amount to a <ft>2</ft>quadrans.

Mark 12:42

Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, <woj>“Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all <ft>1</ft>the contributors to the treasury;</woj>

Mark 12:43

<woj>for they all put in out of their <ft>1</ft>surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, <ft>2</ft>all she had <cr>1</cr>to live on.”</woj>

Mark 12:44

 1  And He began to speak to them in parables: “ A man  planted a vineyard and put a  fence around it, and dug a vat under the wine press and built a tower, and leased it to  vine-growers and went on a journey. 2 And at the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive his share of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers. 3 And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. 4 And again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. 5 And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others. 6 He had one more man to send, a beloved son; he sent him to them last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’ 8 And they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9 What will the  owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the vine-growers to death, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘ A stone which the builders rejected, This has become the chief cornerstone;  11  This came about from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?” 12  And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the  people, for they understood that He told the parable against them.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
