And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Mark.12.10
Read it for yourselves in Scripture: That stone the masons threw out is now the cornerstone!
Mark.12.10
Haven't you read this scripture: "'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;
Mark.12.10
Have you not even read this Scripture: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.
Mark.12.10
Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures? 'The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone.
Mark.12.11
This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Mark.12.11
This is God's work; we rub our eyes--we can hardly believe it!"
Mark.12.11
the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"
Mark.12.11
This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?"
Mark.12.11
This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous to see.'"

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
Mark.12.12
They wanted to lynch him then and there but, intimidated by public opinion, held back. They knew the story was about them. They got away from there as fast as they could.

Mark.12.14
They came up and said, "Teacher, we know you have integrity, that you are indifferent to public opinion, don't pander to your students, and teach the way of God accurately. Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
Mark.12.14
They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, 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 taxes to Caesar or not?
Mark.12.14
When 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?
Mark.12.14
"Teacher," these men said, "we know how honest you are. You are impartial and don't play favorites. You sincerely teach the ways of God. Now tell us--is it right to pay taxes to the Roman government or not?
Mark.12.15
Shall 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.
Mark.12.15
He knew it was a trick question, and said, "Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it."
Mark.12.15
Should we pay or shouldn't we?"
Mark.12.15
Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."
Mark.12.15
Should we pay them, or should we not?" Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, "Whom are you trying to fool with your trick questions? Show me a Roman coin, and I'll tell you."
Mark.12.16
And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
Mark.12.16
They handed him one. "This engraving--who does it look like? And whose name is on it?Caesar," they said.
Mark.12.16
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it." They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?Caesar's," they replied.
Mark.12.16
So they brought it. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's."
Mark.12.16
When they handed it to him, he asked, "Whose picture and title are stamped on it?Caesar's," they replied.
Mark.12.17
And 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.
Mark.12.17
Jesus said, "Give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his." Their mouths hung open, speechless.
Mark.12.17
Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him.
Mark.12.17
And Jesus answered and 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.
Mark.12.17
"Well, then," Jesus said, "give to Caesar what belongs to him. But everything that belongs to God must be given to God." This reply completely amazed them.
Mark.12.18
Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Mark.12.18
Some Sadducees, the party that denies any possibility of resurrection, came up and asked,
Mark.12.18
Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
Mark.12.18
Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:
Mark.12.18
Then the Sadducees stepped forward--a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death. They posed this question:
Mark.12.19
Master, 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.
Mark.12.19
"Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man dies and leaves a wife but no child, his brother is obligated to marry the widow and have children.
Mark.12.19
"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 have children for his brother.
Mark.12.19
"Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
Mark.12.19
"Teacher, 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 be the brother's heir.
Mark.12.20
Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
Mark.12.20
Well, there once were seven brothers. The first took a wife. He died childless.
Mark.12.20
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children.
Mark.12.20
Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring.
Mark.12.20
Well, there were seven brothers. The oldest of them married and then died without children.
Mark.12.21
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
Mark.12.21
The second married her. He died, and still no child. The same with the third.
Mark.12.21
The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third.
Mark.12.21
And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise.
Mark.12.21
So the second brother married the widow, but soon he too died and left no children. Then the next brother married her and died without children.
Mark.12.22
And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
Mark.12.22
All seven took their turn, but no child. Finally the wife died.
Mark.12.22
In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
Mark.12.22
So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.
Mark.12.22
This continued until all the brothers had married her and died, and still there were no children. Last of all, the woman died, too.
Mark.12.23
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
Mark.12.23
When they are raised at the resurrection, whose wife is she? All seven were her husband."
Mark.12.23
At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"
Mark.12.23
Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."
Mark.12.23
So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her."
Mark.12.24
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Mark.12.24
Jesus said, "You're way off base, and here's why: One, you don't know your Bibles; two, you don't know how God works.
Mark.12.24
Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
Mark.12.24
Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?
Mark.12.24
Jesus replied, "Your problem is that you don't know the Scriptures, and you don't know the power of God.
Mark.12.25
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Mark.12.25
After the dead are raised up, we're past the marriage business. As it is with angels now, all our ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God.
Mark.12.25
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Mark.12.25
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Mark.12.25
For when the dead rise, they won't be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.
Mark.12.26
And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
Mark.12.26
And regarding the dead, whether or not they are raised, don't you ever read the Bible? How God at the bush said to Moses, "I am--not was--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
Mark.12.26
Now about the dead rising--have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
Mark.12.26
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
Mark.12.26
But now, as to whether the dead will be raised--haven't you ever read about this in the writings of Moses, in the story of the burning bush? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said to Moses, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
Mark.12.27
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
Mark.12.27
The living God is God of the living, not the dead. You're way, way off base."
Mark.12.27
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"
Mark.12.27
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken."
Mark.12.27
So he is the God of the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error."
Mark.12.28
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Mark.12.28
One of the religion scholars came up. Hearing the lively exchanges of question and answer and seeing how sharp Jesus was in his answers, he put in his question: "Which is most important of all the commandments?"
Mark.12.28
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
Mark.12.28
Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"
Mark.12.28
One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the discussion. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
Mark.12.29
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mark.12.29
Jesus said, "The first in importance is, "Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one;
Mark.12.29
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Mark.12.29
Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: "Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.
Mark.12.29
Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.
Mark.12.30
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mark.12.30
so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.'
Mark.12.30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
Mark.12.30
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.
Mark.12.30
And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.'
Mark.12.31
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mark.12.31
And here is the second: "Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these."
Mark.12.31
The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Mark.12.31
And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
Mark.12.31
The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."
Mark.12.32
And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
Mark.12.32
The religion scholar said, "A wonderful answer, Teacher! So lucid and accurate--that God is one and there is no other.
Mark.12.32
"Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.
Mark.12.32
So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.
Mark.12.32
The teacher of religious law replied, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth by saying that there is only one God and no other.
Mark.12.33
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Mark.12.33
And loving him with all passion and intelligence and energy, and loving others as well as you love yourself. Why, that's better than all offerings and sacrifices put together!"
Mark.12.33
To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
Mark.12.33
And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
Mark.12.33
And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbors as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law."
Mark.12.34
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
Mark.12.34
When Jesus realized how insightful he was, he said, "You're almost there, right on the border of God's kingdom." After that, no one else dared ask a question. [JC]
Mark.12.34
When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
Mark.12.34
Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him.
Mark.12.34
Realizing this man's understanding, Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Mark.12.35
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
Mark.12.35
While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it that the religion scholars say that the Messiah is David's "son,'
Mark.12.35
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, "How is it that the teachers of the law say that the Christ is the son of David?
Mark.12.35
Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
Mark.12.35
Later, as Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple, he asked, "Why do the teachers of religious law claim that the Messiah will be the son of David?
Mark.12.36
For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Mark.12.36
when we all know that David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said, God said to my Master, "Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."
Mark.12.36
David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."'
Mark.12.36
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: "The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'
Mark.12.36
For David himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, said, 'The LORD said to my Lord, Sit in honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies beneath your feet.'
Mark.12.37
David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
Mark.12.37
"David here designates the Messiah "my Master'--so how can the Messiah also be his "son'?" The large crowd was delighted with what they heard.
Mark.12.37
David himself calls him 'Lord.' How then can he be his son?" The large crowd listened to him with delight.
Mark.12.37
Therefore David himself calls Him "Lord'; how is He then his Son?" And the common people heard Him gladly.
Mark.12.37
Since David himself called him Lord, how can he be his son at the same time?" And the crowd listened to him with great interest.
Mark.12.38
And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
Mark.12.38
He continued teaching. "Watch out for the religion scholars. They love to walk around in academic gowns, preening in the radiance of public flattery,
Mark.12.38
As he taught, Jesus said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted in the marketplaces,
Mark.12.38
Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,
Mark.12.38
Here are some of the other things he taught them at this time: "Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they love to parade in flowing robes and to have everyone bow to them as they walk in the marketplaces.
Mark.12.39
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
Mark.12.39
basking in prominent positions, sitting at the head table at every church function.
Mark.12.39
and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
Mark.12.39
the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,
Mark.12.39
And how they love the seats of honor in the synagogues and at banquets.
Mark.12.40
Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
Mark.12.40
And all the time they are exploiting the weak and helpless. The longer their prayers, the worse they get. But they'll pay for it in the end."
Mark.12.40
They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely."
Mark.12.40
who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
Mark.12.40
But they shamelessly cheat widows out of their property, and then, to cover up the kind of people they really are, they make long prayers in public. Because of this, their punishment will be the greater."
Mark.12.41
And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
Mark.12.41
Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions.
Mark.12.41
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
Mark.12.41
Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much.
Mark.12.41
