The Scriptures 1998

Mark 12:5-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. “And again he sent another, and they killed him; and many others, beating some and killing some.

6. “He had one more son, his beloved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They shall respect my son.’

7. “But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.’

8. “So they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

9. “What then shall the owner of the vineyard do? He shall come and destroy the farmers, and give the vineyard to others.

10. “Have you not read this Scripture, ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner-stone.

11. ‘This was from יהוה, and it is marvellous in our eyes’?”

12. And they were seeking to seize Him, but feared the crowd, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. And leaving Him, they went away.

13. And they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in a word.

14. And when they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and it does not concern You about anyone, for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of Elohim in truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

15. “Should we pay, or should we not pay?” And He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you try Me? Bring Me a silver piece to look at.”

16. And they brought it, and He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

17. So יהושע said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to Elohim what is Elohim’s.” And they marvelled at Him.
