Mark 11:27-12:17
Mark 11
- 27
- And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
- 28
- And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
- 29
- And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
- 30
- The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
- 31
- And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
- 32
- But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
- 33
- And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark 12
- 1
- And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
- 2
- And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
- 3
- And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
- 4
- And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
- 5
- And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
- 6
- Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
- 7
- But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
- 8
- And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
- 9
- What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
- 10
- And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
- 11
- This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
- 12
- 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.
- 13
- And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
- 14
- And 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?
- 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.
- 16
- And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
- 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.
