| 12:1 | And he began to speak to them in similes: `A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-winevat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad; |
| 12:2 | and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard, |
| 12:3 | and they, having taken him, did severely beat `him', and did send him away empty. |
| 12:4 | `And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded `him' in the head, and sent away -- dishonoured. |
| 12:5 | `And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing. |
| 12:6 | `Having yet therefore one son -- his beloved -- he sent also him unto them last, saying -- They will reverence my son; |
| 12:7 | and those husbandmen said among themselves -- This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance; |
| 12:8 | and having taken him, they did kill, and cast `him' forth without the vineyard. |
| 12:9 | `What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. |
| 12:10 | And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner: |
| 12:11 | from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.' |
| 12:12 | And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away; |
| 12:13 | and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse, |
| 12:14 | and they having come, say to him, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?' |
| 12:15 | And he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, `Why me do ye tempt? bring me a denary, that I may see;' |
| 12:16 | and they brought, and he saith to them, `Whose `is' this image, and the inscription?' and they said to him, `Caesar's;' |
| 12:17 | and Jesus answering said to them, `Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did wonder at him. |
| 12:18 | And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying, |
| 12:19 | `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if any one's brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. |
| 12:20 | `There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed; |
| 12:21 | and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed, and the third in like manner, |
| 12:22 | and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman; |
| 12:23 | in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife -- for the seven had her as wife?' |
| 12:24 | And Jesus answering said to them, `Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God? |
| 12:25 | for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens. |
| 12:26 | `And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, saying, I `am' the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; |
| 12:27 | he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.' |
| 12:28 | And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, `Which is the first command of all?' |
| 12:29 | and Jesus answered him -- `The first of all the commands `is', Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one; |
| 12:30 | and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength -- this `is' the first command; |
| 12:31 | and the second `is' like `it', this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; -- greater than these there is no other command.' |
| 12:32 | And the scribe said to him, `Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He; |
| 12:33 | and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.' |
| 12:34 | And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, `Thou art not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more durst question him. |
| 12:35 | And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, `How say the scribes that the Christ is son of David? |
| 12:36 | for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies -- thy footstool; |
| 12:37 | therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly, |
| 12:38 | and he was saying to them in his teaching, `Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places, |
| 12:39 | and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers, |
| 12:40 | who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.' |
| 12:41 | And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much, |
| 12:42 | and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing. |
| 12:43 | And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury; |
| 12:44 | for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in -- all her living.' |
| 12:1 | And he beganne to speake vnto them in similitudes. A certayne man planted a vineyarde and copased it with an hedge and ordeyned a wyne presse and bylt a toure in yt. And let yt out to hyre vnto husbandme and went into a straunge countre. |
| 12:2 | And when the tyme was come he sent to the tennauntes a servaunt that he myght receave of the tenauntes of the frute of the vyneyarde. |
| 12:3 | And they caught him and bet him and sent him agayne emptye. |
| 12:4 | And moreoever he sent vnto them another servaunt and at him they cast stones and brake his heed and sent him agayne all to revyled. |
| 12:5 | And agayne he sent another and him they kylled: and many other beetynge some and kyllinge some. |
| 12:6 | Yet had he one sonne whom he loved tenderly him also he sent at the last vnto them sayinge: they wyll feare my sonne. |
| 12:7 | But the tenauntes sayde amongest them selves: this is the heyre: come let vs kyll hym and ye inheritauce shalbe oures. |
| 12:8 | And they toke him and kyllid him and cast him out of the vyneyarde. |
| 12:9 | What shall then the lorde of the vyneyarde do? He will come and destroye ye tenauntes and let out the vyneyarde to other. |
| 12:10 | Have ye not redde this scripture? The stoone which ye bylders dyd refuse is made ye chefe stoone in ye corner: |
| 12:11 | this was done of ye Lorde and is mervelous in oure eyes. |
| 12:12 | And they went about to take him but they feared the people. For they perceaved that he spake that similitude agaynst them. And they left him and went their waye. |
| 12:13 | And they sent vnto him certayne of ye Pharises with Herodes servantes to take him in his wordes. |
| 12:14 | And assone as they were come they sayd vnto him: master we knowe yt thou arte true and carest for no man: for thou consyderest not the degre of men but teachest the waye of God truly: Ys it laufull to paye tribute to Cesar or not? |
| 12:15 | Ought we to geve or ought we not to geve? He vnderstode their simulacion and sayde vnto them: Why tepte ye me? Brynge me a peny that I maye se yt. |
| 12:16 | And they brought. And he sayde vnto them: Whose ys thys ymage and superscripcion? And they sayde vnto him Cesars. |
| 12:17 | And Iesus answered and saide vnto the: Then geve to Cesar that which belongeth to Cesar: and to God that which perteyneth to God. And they mervelled at him. |
| 12:18 | Then came the Saduces vnto him which saye ther is no resurreccion. And they axed hym sayinge: |
| 12:19 | Master Moses wroote vnto vs yf eny mans brother dye and leve his wyfe behinde him and leve no chyldren: that then hys brother shuld take his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother. |
| 12:20 | Ther were seven brethren: and the fyrst toke a wyfe and when he dyed leeft no seed behynde him. |
| 12:21 | And the seconde toke hir and dyed: nether leeft eny seed. And the thyrde lyke wyse. |
| 12:22 | And seve had her and leeft no seed behynde them. Last of all the wyfe dyed also. |
| 12:23 | In the resurreccio then when they shall ryse agayne: whose wyfe shall she be of them? For seven had her to wyfe. |
| 12:24 | Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Are ye not therfore deceaved and vnderstonde not the scryptures nether the power of God? |
| 12:25 | For when they shall ryse agayne fro deeth they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels which are in heven. |
| 12:26 | As touchynge the deed that they shall ryse agayne: have ye not redde in the boke of Moses howe in the busshe God spake vnto him sayinge: I am the God of Abraham and God of Ysaac and the God of Iacob? |
| 12:27 | He is not the God of the deed but the God of the livynge. Ye are therfore greatly deceaved. |
| 12:28 | And ther came one of the scribes that had hearde them disputynge to gedder and perceaved that he had answered them well and axed him: Which is the fyrste of all the commaundemetes? |
| 12:29 | Iesus answered him: the fyrste of all the comaundementes is. Heare Israel: The Lorde God is one Lorde. |
| 12:30 | And thou shalt love the Lorde thy God with all thy hert and with all thy soule and with all thy mynde and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundement. |
| 12:31 | And the seconde is lyke vnto this: Thou shalt love thy neghbour as thy silfe. Ther is none other commaundement greater then these. |
| 12:32 | And the Scribe sayde vnto him: well master thou hast sayd ye truthe that ther ys one God and that ther is none but he. |
| 12:33 | And to love him with all the herte and with all the mynde and with all the soule and with all the stregth: and to love a mans neghbour as him silfe ys a greater thinge then all burntofferings and sacrifices. |
| 12:34 | And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly he sayde vnto him: Thou arte not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that durst axe him eny questio. |
| 12:35 | And Iesus answered and sayde teachynge in the temple: how saye the Scribes yt Christ is the sonne of David? |
| 12:36 | for David him selfe inspyred with the holy goost sayde: The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole. |
| 12:37 | Then David hym silfe calleth him Lorde: and by what meanes is he then his sonne? And moche people hearde him gladly. |
| 12:38 | And he sayde vnto them in his doctrine: beware of the Scribes which love to goo in longe clothinge: and love salutacions in ye market places |
| 12:39 | and the chefe seates in the synagoges and to syt in the vppermost roumes at feastes |
| 12:40 | and devoure widowes houses and that vnder coloure of longe prayinge. These shall receave greater dampnacion. |
| 12:41 | And Iesus sat over agaynst the treasury and behelde how the people put money in to the treasury. And many that were ryche cast in moch. |
| 12:42 | And ther cam a certayne povre widowe and she threwe in two mytes which make a farthynge. |
| 12:43 | And he called vnto him his disciples and sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you that this pover widowe hath cast moare in then all they which have caste into the treasury. |
| 12:44 | For they all dyd cast in of their superfluyte: but she of her poverte dyd cast in all that she had eve all her livynge. |
| 12:1 | And he beganne to speake vnto them by parables: A certayne ma planted a vynyarde, and made a hedge aboute it, and dygged a wynne presse, and buylded a tower, and let it out vnto hussbande men, and wente in to a straunge countre. |
| 12:2 | And whan the tyme was come, he sent a seruaut to the hussbande men, that he might receaue of the hussbandmen, of the frute of the vynyarde. |
| 12:3 | But they toke him, and bet him, and sent him awaye emptye. |
| 12:4 | Agayne, he sent vnto them another seruaunt, whom they stoned, and brake his heade, and sent him awaye shamefully dealt withall. |
| 12:5 | Agayne he sent another, whom they slew, and many other: some they bett, and some they put to death. |
| 12:6 | Then had he yet one sonne onely, whom he loued, him he sent also vnto them at the last, and sayde: they wyl stonde in awe of my sonne. |
| 12:7 | But the same hussbandmen sayde amonge them selues: This is the heyre, Come, let vs kyll him, so shal the inheritaunce be ours. |
| 12:8 | And they toke him, and slewe him, and cast him out of the vynyarde. |
| 12:9 | What shal now the lorde of the vynyarde do? He shal come and destroye the hussbande men, and geue the vynyarde vnto other. |
| 12:10 | Haue ye not red this scripture: The same stone which the buylders refused, is become the headstone in the corner? |
| 12:11 | This was the LORDES doynge, and it is maruelous in oure eyes. |
| 12:12 | And they wente aboute to take him (but they feared the people) for they perceaued, that he had spoke this parable agaynst the. And they left him, and wente their waye. |
| 12:13 | And they sent vnto him certayne of the Pharises and Herodes officers to take him in his wordes. |
| 12:14 | And they came, and sayde vnto hi: Master, we knowe that thou art true and carest for no man. For thou regardest not the outwarde appearaunce of men, but teachest ye waye of God truly. Is it laufull to geue tribute vnto the Emperoure, or not? |
| 12:15 | Ought we to geue it, or ought we not to geue it? But he perceaued their ypocrisye, and sayde vnto them: Why tempte ye me? Brynge me a peny, that I maye se it. |
| 12:16 | And they brought it him. Then sayde he: Whose ymage and superscripcion is this? They sayde vnto him: The Emperours. |
| 12:17 | Then answered Iesus and sayde vnto the: Geue therfore vnto the Emperoure that which is the Emperours, and vnto God that which is Gods. And they marueled at him. |
| 12:18 | Then came vnto him the Saduces (which holde that there is no resurreccion) these axed him, and sayde: |
| 12:19 | Master, Moses wrote vnto vs. Yf eny mans brother dye, and leaue a wife, and leaue no children, his brother shal take his wife, and rayse vp sede vnto his brother. |
| 12:20 | Now were there seuen brethren: the first toke a wife, and dyed, and left no sede: |
| 12:21 | and the seconde toke her, and dyed, and left no sede also: the thirde in like maner. |
| 12:22 | And they all seuen toke her, and left no sede. At the last after them all, the wyfe dyed also. |
| 12:23 | Now in the resurreccion whan they shal ryse agayne, whose wife shal she be of them? For seuen had her to wife. |
| 12:24 | Then answered Iesus, and sayde vnto them: Do not ye erre? because ye knowe not the scryptures ner ye power of God? |
| 12:25 | Whan they shal ryse agayne from the deed, they shal nether mary ner be maried, but they are as the angels in heauen. |
| 12:26 | As touchinge the deed, that they shal ryse agayne, haue ye not red in the boke of Moses, how God spake vnto him in the bush, and sayde: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, & the God of Iacob? |
| 12:27 | Yet is not God a God of the deed, but of the lyuynge. Therfore ye erre greatly. |
| 12:28 | And there came vnto him one of the scrybes, that had herkened vnto the how they disputed together, and sawe that he had answered them well, and axed him: Which is the chefest comaundement of all? |
| 12:29 | Iesus answered him: The chefest commaundemet of all commaundementes is this: Heare O Israel, the LORDE oure God is one God, |
| 12:30 | and thou shalt loue the LORDE thy God with all thy hert, with all thy soule, with all thy mynde, and with all thy strength. This is the chefest commaundement, |
| 12:31 | and the seconde is like vnto it: Thou shalt loue thy neghboure as thy self. There is none other greater commaundement then these. |
| 12:32 | And the scrybe sayde vnto him: Master, Verely thou hast sayde right: for there is but one God, & there is none other without him, |
| 12:33 | and to loue him with all the hert, with all the mynde, with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue a mans neghboure as himself, is more then brent sacrifices and all offerynges. |
| 12:34 | But wha Iesus sawe that he answered discretly, he sayde vnto him: Thou art not farre from the kyngdome of God. And after this durst no man axe him eny mo questions. |
| 12:35 | And Iesus answered, and sayde, whan he taught in the temple: How saye the scrybes, yt Christ is the sonne of Dauid? |
| 12:36 | But Dauid himself saieth thorow the holy goost: The LORDE sayde vnto my LORDE: Syt thou on my right honde, tyll I make thine enemies yi fotestole. |
| 12:37 | There Dauid calleth him his LORDE. How is he the his sonne? And many people herde him gladly. |
| 12:38 | And he taught the, and sayde vnto the: Bewarre of the scrybes, that loue to go in longe garmentes, and loue to be saluted in the market, |
| 12:39 | and syt gladly aboue in the synagoges and at the table: |
| 12:40 | they deuoure wyddowes houses, and vnder a coloure they make longe prayers. These shal receaue the more damnacion. |
| 12:41 | And Iesus sat ouer agaynst the Gods chest, and behelde how the people put money in to the Godschest. And many that were riche: put in moch. |
| 12:42 | And there came a poore wyddowe, and put in two mytes, which make a farthinge. |
| 12:43 | And he called vnto him his disciples, and sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you: this poore wyddowe hath put more in ye Godschest, then all they that haue put in: |
| 12:44 | For they all haue put i of their superfluyte, but she of hir pouerte hath put in all that she had, euen hir whole lyuynge. |
